The King's mother, the Dowager Queen Mary, was informed by telephone at Marlborough House, a few blocks from Buckingham Palace.

The Whole of the cave was filled ; with vast stores of food and odds and ends of furniture, which he is supposed to have stolen from the settlers when they were at work felling trees or cultivating their little plots of cleared land. The occupant of the cave con- tinued to live in this manner year after year, dining on the best of everything the Island had to offer. while the people often were hard pressed for food and clothes.

At last cams a great drought, and everything went haywire in the country around. The live stock per- lshed for want of pasture and their bodies were hauled to the shore

ANSWER: Your problem is indeed-a tragic one. but it is one that you must face immediately and settle definitely. There must be no diilydallylng about it and no wishful hoping that after marriage the right people will fall in love with each other-and everybody will be happy and gay.

By the time winter had rolled around with its biting frosts and deep snow, the settlers were at their wit's end and knew not wheth- er they would be able to survive until another harvest could be gleaned from their tiny farms. Meanwhile the wizard was enjoy- ing the fat of the land, and gloat- ing over the fact that he had stock- ed his larder during the years of plenty.

Just as these thoughts flashed across his mind, there came a loud knockingat the door of the cave. "It must be somebody mighty hungry.” said the cave man. “No- body else would dare make such n noise at my door."

While he was getting to his feet the knocking started again, but this time much louder, as though the person seeking admittance was on

‘That Body Of Yours

James W. Barton, I. O.

MORE POBTANT TO HEALTH AND LIFE SPAN THAN

m.

HEREDITY

A few years ago I met a middlfi- intelligence who stated that he had lust finish- ed reading s. book and was not going to give any thought to his health any more. The book stated that our health and length of life were all laid out for us before we were born in the plasma from which the body is made.

He could not be convinced that sknpie health habits such as enough sleep. food and exercise had any bearing on his health, that new discoveries in medicine were pre- venting various diseases, and that the life span was being lengthened.

For many years, most of u; be- lleved the old saying that if we want to live a long and healthy life. we should choose healthy. long- iived grandparents. We believed that heredity is the most import- ant factor in assuring us long llfI. In fact, life insurance companies all have considered heredity in es- timating the amount we should pay for protection.

It will come as a surprise to most of us to learn from one of our largest insurance companies, the Metropolitan Life, that an indivi- duals chances of obtaining a ripe old age are far more dependent cn enrivorment (his surroundings) than on heredity. The company's conclusion was reached after a study of the death rates and fam- ily history records over n. 40-year period (fa-dais about i901 to 1M0 of a large number of policy holders

The figures showed that those whose parents died at relatively ad- vanced ages did little or no better than those whose parents had died at middle ages or earlier.

along the happenings of recent days. Pipes. not so new as once, have been filled, tobacco tamped down and lit, and now obviously quite ‘content with the world at large, they have settled down to their chatting. "For example", James continues, "compare the pre- sent price of horses with what it was some years ago. Now, I can remember-as you can yourself. when a horse was the most valu- able animal on the farm-wortii any number of pigs ‘or cattle." O O

"Yes," Mr. C. laughs, "why, if a farmer had a spare horse or two to sell in the Spring or Fall, well, his fortune was made!" “Certalnlyf James agrees, “that was considered almost like finding money. and if he was able to save it, he was wefl away! But look, now, a brood sow, about to farrow, will bring as much or more indeed than many a horse. and it doesn't take much of a cow to equal or exceed the price of one. It's really too badl, Horse-raising was a nice line of farming. and as I said. for those times exceedingly profitable. I mind I sold a gray horse one Spring, drove him light into town one day . . ." and so they continue to talk of these and their yester-yearl. _
