COD LIVERUIL IS SUNSHINE

For a great many years before the reason was discovered, it was known that cod liver oil wis a goou body builder, and seemed to have a beneficial effect in helping to fight infections. ' .

For all wasting conditions, for underweight children, for “colds" and bronchitis, cod liver oil was considered a read “standby? It was thought that it was simply the oil in itself that was the effective agent. and accordingly all sorts of .oils were used.

singularly enough, these other manufactured oils did not give the results obtained with cod liver oil.

Ono of the hard things to under- stand had been how farmers in fin- North were able to get a crop during the very short summer that exists there. With icy blasts extending into May, and cool weather again about the middle of August, very little time was left for the planting and gathering oi cereals, fruits and vege- tables.

Yet these farmers got wonderful crops of wheat, oats and usually large sized vegetables.

The reason ior this has been now explained by Professor Kestner, of Hamburg, who says that it is due to lihc ultra violet radiation oi ti sun which is stronger than in ntriil Europe. These plants develop a very large nmountoi vitamins during the short clear summer.

Sea plants also got the benefit of

By a curious irony of fate, alter l-luudini-—the "Handcuff Kins“- died, no record could be ‘found oi the combination oi his own private safe in his home, and no one could cpen it. In an emergency-it wasa lpublic holiday and the safe had to ibe opened that day—-a retired ex- pert cracksman was secured. He labored ior half a day over a prob- lem which Houdini could have solv- ecl, in the case of a strange safe, on the instant. Finally he had to blow the thing open.

“If Houdini were looking down on that sweating cracksman." reflects Harold Kellock, in his uncommonly entertaining life-story oi the famous magician, "he surely had a full ap- preciation oi the situation."

Houdiurs crusade against iraudu lent spirit-mongers occupied a great ileal of his time and thought during the last years of his life. But there was a brief period in his early stage career when, assisted by his wife- and what a wife!—he used to do a “mind-reading” and “spirit message" act, pure hocus pocus, of course.

One night he was tipped off that two negroes-the “local bad men"- wcre in the gallery. These men went about armed with razors and three \\‘('CkS before one oi their pals had been murdered. While no tangible evidence could be raised to fasten the crime on them, the people of the town felt that they were implicated.

When Houdini began to give his "messages," he presently stepped

lrhis very powerful radiation and they likewise store up large quanti- lties cf vitamins.

These sea plants

are eaten byi

larger animals, and the cod preys on them all.

Thus the liver of the cod becomes the reservoir in which all the fat soluble vitamins oi the masses of‘ devoured sea plants are deposited.

Just think cf that for a moment.

The lowly cod fish gets an this concentrated sunshine in the form oi vitamins. and stores it within the liver. Other fish have some also. but the cod seems to have it in the largest quantities and most concen- trated form.

So when need arises in the house- hcld. think of how Nature so gen- erously provides actual “sunshine" in the sick room.

“I have a I essage here for Bill Doakes and Jim Saunders," he said. “It comes from Benny Carter. He says: ‘Yo' boys bettah put yo‘ razors away, or yo‘ is sho’ goin‘ ter be where Ah is now.’ Are Bill Doakes and Jim Saunders present?"

There was an awed silence, and thcn, as some one in the gallery upset a chair and stumbled hastily tcwnrd the exit a quivering voice re- plied:

"Yes. dey is. but dey ain't stayin’."

After success began to arrive, Houdini developed i1 passion for art —in the iorm of ymintings, ethings, prints. (says Mr. Kellock.) He con- cclvcd a great admiration for the works of W. P. Frith, the Royal Ad- ademician, and purchased two Fiitlis. or two paintings supposed to be Frith, of which he was very proud.

In the Fall oi 1909 when Houdini was playing in London, he deter- mined to try and see the painter- then a very old man. After muchl ccnxing. by letter, Frith consented to receive them. At thc appointedl time Houdini presented himself iindi had with him his two paintings.

“He treated me splendidly," Hou- dini later wrote in his diary. “But when I showed "my two paintings attributed to him, which I had got at an auction sale. he denied them, so I allowed him to destroy them. I-le togk out a knife and cut thc lady's throat on each painting.

A pathetic glimpse of Sarah Bern- hardt imploring Houdini to restore hcr amputated leg, is given by Mr. Kellock. The‘ Divine Sarah had been watching, l-Ioudini perform some of his sensational mysteries, and they were driving away to- gethcr after thc performance. Sud- denly, Bernhardt embraced the man oi mystery and in her most caress- ing tones, said:

“Houdini, you arc a. wonderful be- ing. You must iaossess some extra- ordinary powcr to perform such marvels. Won't you use it. to rc- store my limb ior mo?"

Houdini looked at her, at onec thrilled and amazed. “You can bring it back, can't

you?" she pleaded.

There were tears in Houdinfs eyes as he gazed at her appealing face and told her that he could do nothing except by natural means.
