A Seeker After Hidden Facts
By IRVIN S. COBB
VWIIEN the New York Central inaugurated its fast service between
New York and Chicago the paramount consideration was to get
the Twentieth Century Limited through on schedule.
If the slightest mishap occurred to the train all hands were charged
to forward prompt and full reports to headquarters, giving the complete
details.
At a small flagtop some distance west of Albany, the station-agent
was a callow youth. Iy enthusiasm and a sense of his responsibilities
he made up though, for what he lacked in experience.
One v. intry evening just at dusk he caught, passing over the wire,
word that the Twentieth Century Limited was two hours behind time.
He lit his lantern, sharpened a pencil, and got out a notebook, then
sat down to bide hi;? time. Ten minutes before the belated Limited was
due to whizz pust he left the station, walked eastward along the tracks
& quarter of a mile and posted himself between the rails.
Soon the headlights hove into sight. In an effort to make up the
precious lost minutes the engineer was driving his locomotive at tre
mendous speed. Suddenly far-ahead he saw the dancing signal of a
lantern. lie gave her the brakes; he gave her sand. With sparks flying
from her wheels, the snorting rr.ogul stopped not fifty feet distant from
where the youth stood. The engineer and his fireman dropped down from
the cab and ran forward, sputtering iiuestioBs.
The station-agent stilled them with an authoritative gesture. He
put down his lantern on the right-of-way, braced his pad in the crook
of his elbow, poised his pencil ready to record their answers and sai
briskl y :
"Now then, boys, tell me what detained you?"

Miss Doretta Schlaphcf was chair
man. Each tray was graced by a
miniature May Pole, the work of
the decorating committee.
Many were the expressions of
happiness and appreciation, and the
hope was also expressed that a
similar occasion might be enjoyed
each year.

Mrs. W. O. Oillospie slipped and
fell while at work about the home,

USE BROOM m GARDEN
"Use a broom in the garden as
well as in the kitchen," the Ferry
Morse Seed I'.ieediiiK Institute sug
gests as a means of lesseniig gar
den labor.
Where rows are ra'ihcr long, soil
can be pulled onto seeds by drawing
the broom lightly over the tops of
the trenches or drilis. Soil must be
well prepared, of course. In firming
the soil, a board may be placed over
the row and walked on.
This procedure is recommended for
almost all flower seeds and the small
er vegetable seeds. When planting
Tine flower seeds, such as petunia,
soil may be merely sprinkled over
the row; or the seed may be pressed
into the soil by walking on a board
laid over the row. With larger vege
table seeds peas, beans and corn
draw the back of a rake over the top
of the drill to cover the seeds and
tamp down the soil with the back of
a hoe blade.

CHAPTER XIII
Rctween the ages of twelve and
eighteen months. Jack's life was very
uneventful. During that period he
grew rapidly, he progressed from
the crawling to the walking stage,
and he began to acquire a limited
and somewhat understandable vo
cabulary. Mrs. Reynolds, his mother, had
established certain habits for her
self and for Jack which were very
beneficial. She followed her physi
cian's advice religiously. Unlike
many mothers, her interest in Jack's
care was jtist as enthusiastic at this
period as it had been when he was
an infant.
One day, when she had teken
Jack in for his routine examination,
the physician. Dr. Hayes, gave her
quite a discourse on the subject of
milk.
"Milk," he said, "should be the
foundation food for every child. It
contains some, but not all, of every
food element which the growing
child needs. For instance, milk con
tains protein. Protein is necessary
for building and repairing tissue. A
growing, active child needf consider
able protein because he $ constant
ly building new muscle," bone and
ether tissue, and he is constantly
breaking down some tissue because
of his activity. Meat, eggs, fish and
certain vegetables also contain this
element, but milk is the cheapest
source of good body-building pro
tein. "Milk also contains fats and sugar,
both of which are needed by every
cnii.i to supply warmtli and energy.
It contains calcium (lime) and plios
phoius. Both of these mineral.? are
very necessary for good bone and
tooth development. A child between
the ages of one and six is a verv in
dustrious person. He is constantly
building a bigger and better bony
framework or skeleton. He is also
building two sets of teeth. There
fore, it is most necessary that young
sters of this age receive a quart of
milk each day.
"Milk should be pasteurized or
boiled to kill any disease germs that
may be in it. If a high grade of rom-mer-ially
pasteurized milk is not
available, a high grade of raw milk
shoulrl be pasteurized at home. This
can be done by placing the desired
amount of milk in a pot and holding
it over a hot flame until the milk
roaches 15 5 degrees F.. stirring con
stantly.. Immediately the pot . is set
in cnJ'd water end stirring continued
until the nilk is cool. The United
Slates Public Hoalth Reports (Vol.
f, Xo. i. Jan. 26. 1034. pages 112
to 11G) contain some splendid in
formal inn on this subject.
""Many physicians advise mothers
to pasteurize milk in the feeding
bottle for small infants. The Com
mittee' on Milk Production and Con
trol, Whit? House Conference on
Child Health and Protection, advises
the following method for pasteuriz
ing milk in infants' feeding bot
tles: 'Milk to be used -for infant
feeding may be pasteurized most
advantageously directly in the
feeding bottles. After modifying
the milk according to direc
tions, thy exact quantity re
quired for a leeding is poured
into each bottle. It is wise to
prepare an extra bottle, for
there is always a possibility
that one may be broken dur
ing pasteurization. The seals
are put in place or the mouths
of the bottles plugged with
sterilized cotton, and the ther
mometer inserted in one of
them. The bottles are placed in
a wire basket and set in a pail
filled with water nearly to the
level of the milk in the bottles.
Heat is applied until the ther
mometer in the milk registers
1-12 degrees F. to 145 degrees
F. The bottles are removed,
the thermometer changed from
the milk to the water, and cold
water added until the tempera
ture of the water is also. 142
degrees F. to 145 degrees F.
The bottles are put back into
the water, covered with heavy
rhth aii'l allowed to stand for

bottles may be cooled by run

and storing them in the refrig

The milk is taken from the re
frigerator bottle by bottla as
needed. If a bottle is warmed
and not used, it should not be
returned to the refrigerator to
bo used for a later feeding, but
discarded.'
"Ol course," continued the doctor,
"milk does not contain enough of all
the food elements needed by the
child, so additional foods must be
added to his diet."
He then gave her a diet list for
a one to six year old child approved
by many prominent physicians:
A pint and 'a. half to a quart of
milk a day.
Fruit once or twice a day, in
cluding at least one raw
fruit, such as orange, grape
fruit, apple or banana.

"He sure to keep those litt!" teeth
of his clean," said Dr. Hayes as Mrs.
Reynold prepared to leave.
"Oh. I do," she replied, "I (lean
them twice a day with a suit cloth
moistened with lime or salt water. I
always clean them after his ev -ning
feeding so that no food particles re
main in his mouth while he is
sleeping."
