cided on the step seemed long to the
little club gin. hut meanwhile she
kept industriously at the club work ,

came apparent In the home. Then
she persuaded her father to take up)
newer lines of development on his |
farm, and last year he built the mod

LEMONS CONDUCE TO
HEALTH AND PLEASE
Have New Importance in Diet,
Say Specialists.
Long List of Beverages and Desserts
in Which Juice Can Be Used, as
Well as in Number of Sauces
for Fish and Meat
In the olden times sailors who took
long trips and ate no fresh vegetables
and fruits for weeks or months were
likely to fall victims to scurvy. Finally
a cure or a partial cure for It was
found In lemon Juice.
Of lnte years scientists have been
making a study of scurvy, its cnuse
and Its cure and of the conditions
that make the body proof against this
disease. They have discovered a sub
stance called vitamlne C, which seems
to prevent and even to cure this dis
ease. It is found in many foods,
among them tomatoes and such cit
rus fruits as oranges, grapefruit and
lemons.
Lemons, therefore, have a new im
portance In the diet, according to food
specialists In the United States De
partment of Agriculture, office of
home economics. They are no longer
to be valued simply for their flavor,
but also as a source of one of these
necessary substances.
Lemons can be prepared In all sorts
of ways In the preparation pf meals.
There Is a long list of beverages and
desserts In which lemon Juice Is used,
as well as a number of delicious
sauces that expert cooks have Invent
ed to serve on fish and meat. Many
of these sauces the busy housekeeper
has no time to make, but she can cut
a lemon in two and put It on the table
to serve with fish, oysters, or meat.
Some people think that a little lemon
Juice adds just the zest needed to
make eggs on toast a tasteful dish.
Lemon juice Is also good on spinach
and other green vegetables, on many
kinds of salads, and also as flavoring
lor pudding sauces and cakes.
Irene learned from her club leader
how to finish tloors and woodwork and
how to paper a wall. Then she and
a small brother put the lessons Into
practice, and the whole Interior of the
house was finished by their efforts.
Her own room she furnished with a
quaint old suite of furniture which
she made over. The rag rug on the
floor she made herself as well ns the
> curtains at the window. Little money
was expended, but much taste and In
genuity were put Into the room.
Besides being an expert gardener
and canner, this Madison county girl
can embroider and sew, can cook nice
ly, and serve a properly-balanced
meal. Last hut not least, she finds
i time to be a leader of her community
In all social affairs.
THE CHEYENNE BBGOBD
STRONG ON TALK
This Land Too Full of Half-Baked
Theorists.
What Good-Natured Americana Have
to Endure in Theee Daye la
Burely “a Plenty."
Americans are prubably the most
Fully Advised people on earth. The
whole land Is full of emergency
rostrums where people who huve . a
passion for advising their brethren
may repair and relieve their minds
In detuil.
No people nre more Talked To and
Talked At. and no people are more
Tolerant and Good-Nuturcd übout It.
Not only is tiie land full of native
advisory tulent, but udvisers hive here
from other lands und insist upon Ex
plaining Matters to us—giving us the
low-down and the real McCoy on a
variety of topics, many of them ex
ceedingly dull.
The lnnd Is full of well-fed, impruc
tlcal theorists who have Thought It
All Out und nre Willing and Anxious
to Tell About It, asserts Glenn M.
Farley in the Seattle Post-lntelll
gencer.
Most of the Fluent Speakers are
men who have never done anything in
all their long lives but write or talk.
They never, by any chance, have got
Into the thick of things themselves;
never been horned around and pushed
and shoved and stepped on, or ac
quired calloused hands or practical ex
perience In Working fora Living; never
stood up to the East Wind of Hard
Luck and Hard Work and Won
Through in spite of discouragements.
Still they are Perfectly Willing to
Explain Matters and tell how to
correct our sad mistakes of Judge
ment.
The land is full of Instructors With
out Appointment and Guides Without
Certificates.
Is it any wonder that we are so
often on the wrong track? Is It not a
miracle that we nre on the road at
all and making progress?
The lnnd is full of Critics, men anx
ious to point out the errors of poor,
lost, wandering •humanity; men keen
to tear down and destroy the work of
others und furnish nothing construc
tive to replnce it; men full of theories,
but short on pructice.
It is a fine thing 'for a citizen t,o
huve u Helpful Theory, but a still
finer thing for him to Work It Out.
It seems to come nuturul to a lot of
people to Explain Mutters. When u
citizen feels moved to go out in the
Buck Yard und Undertake to Plant u
Garden some neighbor is Quite Apt to
step over und Lean on the Fence and
Explain to him precisely how the
gurden should be Put In.
Whut a Splendid, Grand Glorious
Thing it would be if all the Volunteer
Instructors and Guides and Exhorters
would Stop Talking und Go to Work
themselves!
As it is, a lot of the Listeners are
Getting Nervous. They are getting rea
sonably well Fed Up with Instruction.
When a man who has been Through
the Mill Raises ids Voice in counsel,
lie generally bus something of value
to say.
But when a party witli a Gas Bag
moves in arid begins to Release the
Gas he becomes a nuisance to every
body. He annoys people who are
really working und accomplishing
something, und often drops a monkey
wrench or u screw driver into the
machinery.
There are orutors running around
with a Load of Misinformation who
would probably Be All Bight if they
Had a Batli und a Haircut and con
sented to Go to Work.
Anyhow, it would be Worth Trying,
and it would be a Wonderful Belief
to the Public.
There are entirely too many able
bodied men standing around Instruct
ing Others und awulting u formal in
troduction to Hard Work.
This country's business and in

Iceland Spar.
One of the most interesting of na
ture’s processes is that by which
cracks in volcanic rocks are filled in
with materials brought up in hot solu
tions from the bowels of the earth. It
Is by tills means that “veins" and
“lodes" of gold and silver are formed.
In tiie eastern part of Iceland there
is a locality where such cracks in
rocks have been filled in with a pure
carbonate of lime which forms clear
and beautiful crystals. These crystals,
.called “Iceland spar," have a peculiar
property of "polarizing" light, which
makes them valuable for in con
nection with Jid other
optical instruments.
Within the last few years deposits
of Iceland spar have been discovered
in Sweetgrnss county, Montana, und In
the Warner range near Cedarville,
Calif. Efforts are being made to de
velop them.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Youth Sold as
Slave by Turks
Armenian Lad Tells Thrilling
Story of His Escape
from Arabia.
SAVED BY BRITISH SOLDIERS
Father, Mother and Sister Exiled Into
Mesopotamia Desert Die of Starva
tion—Reaches Chicago Through
Help of Near East Relief.
Chicago.—That truth Is stranger
than Action is Illustrated by the story
told by Bedrus Slsllan a seventeen
year-old Armenian boy, who escaped
from sluvery in Arublu and arrived
la Chicago recently.
His story of slavery and flight; the
exiling of his father, mother and sis
ter Into the Mesopotamia desert and
their subsequent death from starva
tion ; the meeting In Constantinople
between Bedrus and his brother, Ed
ward, who Is a seaman on the United
Stutes destroyer No. 239, was told In
the oflice of the Nenr East relief, with
Mrs. Ardaslies Slsllan of 740 North
Wells street, Bedrus’ sister-in-law,
acting ns the interpreter.
Until ubout three years ago the SIs
lian family was living in comparative
comfort in the city of Adana, which is
close to Tarsus in Cilicia. One day
the Turkish soldiers came Into the
city and ordered all the non-Molmm
mednn people to leuve their homes and
go toward the Mesopotamia desert.
Hastily, the mother and father cut
the lmir of the three girls in the fam
ily and daubed their faces with mud
to prevent their '.ale Into slavery.
Bedrus, then fourteen years old, did
not escape that fate because, he says,
lie was strong and the Turks saw in
him the making of a farm laborer.
Family Separated; Boy Sold.
The family was sepuruted—the
father, mother and girls being driven
to Mosul near Nineveh, a distance of
about 500 miles from their nome, and
the boy was sold to a caravan, of Ar
abian traders for u sum equivalent to
an English pound. The traders in turn
sold him to a rich farmer~l!or a sum
equivalent to somewhat less than
three English pounds.
This farmer told Bedrus that ho
would adopt him us his son and mako
him his heir if the . Armenian lad
would renounce his Christian iaith and
become a Mohammedan. The lad kept
his own counsel until they arrived at
a small hotel In Human. The hotel
keeper, an Arabian Christian, whis
pered to the boy that in three days
he would help him te escape. While
the farmer was busy with his affairs
In the town, the hotelkeeper sent the
boy to a friend, another Arabian Chris
tian, who owned a lunch room in an
other part of the town. Here Bedrus
worked for seven months as a waiter.
Testing Work of a Huge Sound Amplifying Device
Within the quiet confines of the Yama Ynma farms at Naponach, N. Y., some two-score presidents of the tin*
tlon’s foremost telephone and telegraph companies gathered to study a huge voice-and-sound amplifying derlea.
Strains of music, originating In Chicago, were transmitted to the amplifier which Intensified the sound wtTM as
that they could be plainly heard for a distance of four miles from the Yama Yams farms.
A detachment of the British army
come to the village and picked up
many of the Armenian 'orphans, in
cluding Bedrus, and took them to a
newly organized orphanage in Mosul.
The boy did not know ills parents
were refugees In that city until they,
with other Anncniun parents seeking
lost children, came to the orphunage
and found Bedrus.
Die of Starvation.
Tho family reunion was a happy
one, but food was scarce. Within the
year the eldest sister, eighteen years
of age, died of starvation. Five
months later the father died of the
same cause. The mother’s death fol
lowed in two weeks. The boy man
aged, with the help of the English
army, to get back to Adana, accom
panied by his two younger sisters, who
later were taken by the British to Port
Said. Bedrus found a job in a tailor
shop in his home town, where he
worked for four months, when Turk
ish soldiers ngnin looted the homes of
the Armenians and sold the hoys and
girls into slavery and he fled toward
Beirut.
There he worked as a dock laborer
for three months, when, fearing the
Turks would find him and return him
to slavery, he started to Constantino;
pie. There an Armenian society gave
him a Job without pay except his
board, In a general store, where he
stayed for six months.
The boy told of meeting his brother
