Children Must Have Fat
Because fat is such a compact
food, nutritionists agree that for
growing boys and girls, and men
engaged in strenuous physical ex-
ercise, fat is almost essential, if
they are to get enough total cal-
ories.
There is also experimental evi-
dence that at least a small amount
of one or more of the unsaturated
fatty acids must be supplied by
the food if normal nutrition is to
be maintained. And two compe-
tent investigators found, experi-
mentally, that the presence of fat
in the diet tends to conserve vita-
min B in the body.
Some fats, especially those from
animal sources, are rich in vita-
mins A and D, and fats made
from vegetable oils may contain
vitamin E.

foods come in for a great deal of
criticism that should not bet
charged to the use of fat, but to
incorrect methods of cooking. If
food is properly cooked in fat that

will be no opportunity for decom-
position products to develop.

How Much Fat?
Nutritionists have ample evi-
dence that health is best served
when 30 to 35 per cent of the total
energy value foods is provided ins
the form of fat. This will include
the fat of meat and the fat used
in cooking the many delicious fried
and baked foods which make eat-
ing a pleasure.
Miss C. B. R.—It is difficult to
compare the iron content of meats-
because of variations in the
amount of fat. It has been estab-
lished, however, that organ meats,,
as liver and kidneys, contain,
more iron than muscle meats, and'
that pork and lamb contain much,
less iron than beef.
Mr. F. K. C.—Answering your
query as to whether pineapple
juice possesses special properties
as a laxative—all fruit juices con-
tain fruit acids, which tend to
have a stimulating effect upon the
entire digestive tract. However,
the pulp of any fruit is far more
effective than the juice in provid-
ing normal elimination.

greens make an excellent food.
They contain more phosphorus;
than any other common leafy
vegetable, and supply vitamins A-
B, C and G.
Mrs. N. H. R.—As to whether au
tendency to overweight is inher-
ited: the body build is inherited...
That is, some individuals tend to-
be short and stocky; others are
tall and slender. However, there
is no reason why the stocky indi-
vidual should allow himself to be-
come obese. Frequently, a condi-
tion that is blamed on inheritance
can be traced to faulty habits of
diet, exercise and sleep, passed
from one generation to another.

Gypsies Count in Greek,
Speak Many Greek Words
The fact that gypsies all over the
world count in Greek and use nu-
merous Greek words further sub-
stantiates the theory of their early
arrival in the Balkan region. For
“seven, eight, nine, ten” gypsies
say “efta, ofto, enea, deca.” In
Macedonia at this period also were
numerous Phoenician and Egyptian
slaves who worked in Alexander’s
arsenals.
Undoubtedly the gypsies inter-
married to some extent with the
Egyptians, notes a writer in the
Chicago Tribune, and when their
descendants later set forth on their
wanderings, still trying to forget
their miserable days in India, they
told people that they were from
Egypt. Their tendency toward
sleight-of-hand, fortune telling, and
other magic which Europeans asso-
ciated with Egypt undoubtedly gave
them their most usual name of
gypsies. Pharons (from Pharaohs)
is another of their appellations.
Their association with Rumanians
probably accounts for the names
Rom and Romany, so frequently ap-
plied to them. Other names for
gypsies are Gitanos, Zingaries, Ca-
los, Bohemians, Tziganes, Zigeuner,
Czigany.

spoke. Familiarity with the idea
made it piquant . . . another man,
not Pedro Fages, with his rough,
tempestuous, robust love-making,
to which she was responding less
and less as time went on.
She glanced at her husband from
the corner of her eye. How well
she knew him! Every line, every
feature ... a tiny blood-vessel in
the corner of his eye, like a question
mark ... a large vein on his tem-
ple that swelled and throbbed at
times . . . the feeling of his hands,
roughened and coarse when he ca-
ressed her. The smell of his clothes.
Ah! Horses, leather, perspiration.
Would it be difficult to change that
for another man? A man well
groomed, with delicate hands, a
sensitive mouth not buried in a
beard? A man whose every move-
ment and gesture was graceful, de-
liberate . . . She shivered and
clasped her warm hands together.
And then she thought, Dagelet does
smell so sweet!
“Gloria.* Gloria!” sang the choir
and the congregation.
“Gloria! Gloria!” sang Eulalia.
She lifted her eyes to the-altar
with its hundred candles. There
Junipero Serra had stood, quenching
the flames of seven candles in the
blood that poured from his breast
. . . there he had lain in his coffin.
And there beneath the floor at the
foot of the altar, lay his bones.
But suddenly it seemed that ev-
erywhere she looked she saw his
eyes, staring at her from the lights,
looking out from the painted sockets
of the holy images, sorrowful, ac-
cusing.
She shivered again, for a cold
breath seemed to rise from Juni-
pero Serra’s tomb, and blow upon
her. . She chafed her hands together,
for now they -were cold, clammy.
Would this service never end! Just
when she thought she could not
bear it for another instant, she
heard Fray Lasuen pronounce the
benediction. She staggered to her
feet while the procession of choir-
boys and acolytes passed. Then
Don Pedro took her arm, and she
stumbled from the church.
In the compound outside a great
fire had been lighted, for the fathers
at Carmel had planned a fiesta of
their own in honor of the French-
men. La Perouse spoke to the Gov-
ernor.
“Sacre coeur,” he said, frankly
wiping his eyes, “but what a scene
to touch the heart! Mon Dieu, Mon-
sieur le Gouverneur, what you Span-
ish pioneers have done in this coun-
try! Ah, I can not say any more
than I have said, how it touches
the heart!”
“Thank you, Senor el Conde,”
said the Governor gravely. They
were moving toward seats that had
been prepared for them in a ring
around the fire. Eulalia noticed
Dagelet maneuvering to reach her
side.
“That sacre pere, your Francois
Lasuen,” went on the Count with
Gallic emotion, “what a saint is he.
He is the most worthy, respectable
man I have ever met. His mild-
ness, charity and affection for these
unutterably stupid Indians is beyond
expression, Monsieur!”
The gentlemen stood while Eula-
lia seated herself with a queenly
air. Dagelet waited until his su-
perior officer was ensconced in a
great armchair beside the Gover-
nor, then slipped to the ground at
La Gobernadora’s feet.
Don Pedro looked at him with a
good-natured twinkle.
“We are all here, your Majesty,”
he remarked to his lady, “even to
the court jester at your feet.”
Dagelet hugged his knees with a
smile, and looked inquiringly at La
Perouse, W’ho translated the remark
for him.
“Tell his Excellency,” he an-
swered, “it is a privilege to be here.
And tell him, please,” he added as
an afterthought, “that if it would
please the lady, I would stretch out
on the ground for her foot-stool,
like that young savage slave of
hers, if she would permit.”
Eulalia gasped at the daring. La
Perouse gave his young friend a
reprimanding glance, and translat-
ed his remarks to the Governor as
he saw fit.
Closer to the fire they saw Fermin
Lasuen appear, and talk with a
group of half-naked Indian boys who
were preparing some game.
“There is the holy man among his
dark sheep,” remarked La Perouse.
“Yes, he is a holy man indeed,”
replied Fages.
“Junipero Serra was a true saint,
but the two are very different. For
instance, you would not have been
privileged to see an Indian cere-
monial if Junipero Serra were Pad-
re Presidente. He did his best to
put down every evidence of the bar-
barities the Indians practiced, even
their harmless games. Yes, he was
different. Even the appearance of
the two is different. Lasuen is a
smaller, more wiry man than Ser-
ra. He is very pious, but very hu-
man, our Fray Fermin.”
“I would have been interested in
Serra. But I am glad Lasuen is
less strict, for it is splendid to see
these Indian dances.”

the darkness, silently. Then in a mo-
ment another group bounded into
the firelight, grotesque, with strange
headdresses and bows and arrows
for a dance of the hunters. Again
the tom-toms and rattle, grunts and
shrieks. Eulalia shivered.
She whispered again, “Please ex-
plain ...”
“I was carried away by the ten-
derness of the moment. My selfish-
ness overcame me. Forgive me. I
could not carry you away ...”
“Away from what? This? Lone-
liness, desolation, neglect? Do you
think I am mad, to prefer to stay
here?”
Dagelet peered at her in the fire-
light. Indeed her eyes did look a
little mad. What was going to hap-
pen? He reached again for her hand
and patted it soothingly.
“It is I who am mad,” he
breathed. “You do not really wish
to come, I would not wish to, to
. . .’’He stopped, and cursed to
himself. Those were not the right
words.
She clutched his shoulder until
her finger-nails bit into his flesh.
“You make it difficult for me,”
whispered Eulalia. “For you have
asked me to come, and I am com-
ing. Do not worry about it. Just
rest content and happy in the knowl-
edge that when you sail, I shall
be with you.”
“No, no, Madame, it is too great
a sacrifice for you to . . .”
His voice was rising, and Eulalia
murmured “Sh!”
They were silent for a moment,
watching the dancers. Dagelet’s
brain was whirling. The lady was
determined! And if a lady were de-
termined ... He stole a glance at
the lady’s husband, the powerful
Governor of the Californias, his bulk
solid and imposing in the half-light.
How good a swordsman was he?
How true a shot? Visions of duels, of
pursuit by the Spanish Armada, of
international complications passed
through his mind. Was he laying
too much stress on the Latin under-
standing of affair de coeur? He
must not do this, it was madness,
sheer insanity.
“It is not too great a sacrifice
for me, mon ami,” the lady was
breathing in his ear. “I am willing
to make it. And what is more,” she
leaned far over as though to ad-
just a shoe latchet, and looked
straight into his eyes, her own glow-
ing feverishly, “what is more, if I
stay . . . if I do not go ... I am
afraid I will have to confess to my
husband that you . . . that you
have made love to me,” she hissed
triumphantly.
Dagelet dropped his head to his
knees with a groan of despair. But
he recovered himself suddenly. La
tendresse . . . that is what was
needed now. He fumbled half-heart-
edly for the lady’s hand again. He
must kiss it. “Poor lady,” he
thought, as he felt her warm fingers.
He felt a tremor pass through her,
and soon she whispered, “And all
that is left to decide is where and
when ...”
Dagelet thought quickly. The
nearness of the woman, her real ap-
peal, the sound of the thudding In-
dian rhythm, savage, passionate,
moved him. He shrugged his shoul-
ders. After all, why not? There had
been elopements before, and there
would be again. And the lady was
determined.
(TO BE CONTINUED)
There are very few household
concoctions which are more fa-
miliar to the American housewife
than tea, and a great standing joke
is . that the female newlywed “at
least knows how to make a cup of
tea.”
But that particular newlywed joke
simply does not apply today, asserts
a writer in the Detroit News.
The fact remains—or has just
been undeniably established—that
too few of even the kitchen’s old-
timers, let alone the lace-aproned
youngsters, have ever permitted
either swain, husband or guest to
savor the insides of a rich, honest-
to-goodness cup of tea.
The inhabitants of the United
States drink some 19 billion cups of
tea each year. In order to deter-
mine how that vast sea of vintage
beverage is consumed, a cross-sec-
tion survey involving personal in-
terviews with 5,000 housewives in
five representative • states has re-
cently been conducted by a New
York firm.
In essence, the survey found that
eight out of ten people were tea-
drinkers but that four out of five
tea-drinkers were literally throwing
the tea away, drinking instead a
mere shadow of what they started
to make, or might have had, or
wanted to drink.
The proper recipe for a good, bal-
anced cup of tea, according to
American tea experts, is one meas-
ured teaspoon for each cup, with a
full five-minute brew.
The survey revealed that house-
CHAPTER XIX—Continued
Pedro Fages was looking off
across the water with that dream-
ing, questioning expression that an-
noyed Eulalia so.
“I?” he asked. “Yes, I have my
longings, though to me California
is the most beautiful spot in all the
world. Still •< am homesick for
places I have never seen.”
The men looked at Pedro Fages
with sympathy as they turned their
mounts around and started back to
the presidio. But Eulalia had not
heard her husband’s words. Her
head was whirling with her own
thoughts. Again she heard Dage-
let’s impulsive word, “Come!”
Her thoughts were interrupted' by
the gentle voice of Padre Lasuen.
“It was a beautiful fiesta, Senora
La Gobernadora,” he said, “a real
event in the history of California,
this entertaining of the first distin-
guished visitors to reach our shores.
But now I must hasten ahead to
prepare another feast for them, a
feast of the soul, at our little mis-
sion San Carlos de Carmelo. Until
then, adios!”
Nationally Known Food Authority Compares
the Different Cooking Fats
and Shortenings
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th St., New York City.
/"T1HERE are, perhaps, more f^lse notions concerning fats
J- than any other class of foods.
Some homemakers, considering them as “fattening” only,
try to eliminate them entirely from the diet. Others have the
impression that foods containing fat are difficult to digest,
and for this reason deprive their families of many delicious

may be determined by preference,
convenience, economy, and the
use to which the product is to be
put.
The various forms of edible fats
and oils are derived from both ani-
mal and vegetable sources. They
include butter, margarine, lard,
compounds, which are a mixture
of animal fats and vegetable oils,
hydrogenated fats, and the liquid
vegetable oils.
Butter and margarine are used
chiefly as a spread, and it is in-
teresting to note that the annual
per capita consumption of mar-
garine is steadily increasing, as
homemakers have discovered that
the use of this less expensive prod-
uct releases more money for milk,
fruits and vegetables. Margarine
is interchangeable with butter for
dressing vegetables and in doughs
containing spices, fruits and choc-
olate. Its shortening power and
keeping qualities are similar to
those of butter.
Lards, compounds and other
shortening fats are useful not only
as a means of increasing palata-
bility and food value, but to add
flakiness to baked foods and to
produce a crisp coating which
seals in the minerals and vitamins
of fried foods.
Lard is used chiefly as a short-
ening for pastry, and a good grade
will be found to be white and free
from objectionable odors. The
highest grade, called leaf lard, is
produced from the leaves of fat
in the sides of the hog.
When made by a reputable man-
ufacturer, the compounds . pre-
pared especially for cake making,
for shortening pastry and for
deep-frying, are wholesome, high-
ly nutritious and give most satis-
factory results. They are a most
economical form of shortening.
—★—
Digestibility of Fats
Because of their ability to re-
tard digestion somewhat and thus
give satiety value to a meal, the
impression has grown up that fats
are “difficult” to digest. This re-
sults from confusing the length of
time required for digestion and
the completeness with which a
food is digested.
When “digestibility” is regard-
ed in the popular sense of the ease,
comfort and speed with which the
digestive organs carry on their
work, it is conceded that fats in
general retard the secretion of the
Along the darkening Via Cruces
a mounted messenger flew ahead
of the Governor and his guests to
warn the fathers at Carmelo that
the party was approaching. Don
Pedro and his guests lingered along
the way, (Jeep in talk.
“It has been wonderful, this visit
here, Monsieur le Gouverneur,” La
Perouse was saying. “Sans doute,
this is one of the wonder countries
of the world. Me, I foresee great
things. These bays and harbors full
of ships from all the world ports.
And strange people from all over
the universe. I see commerce, trade
and great cities. What is to prevent
it? Ah, if you or I or some one of
these restless people who travel and
explore could only find that North-
west Passage!”
' “if it exists,” replied Fages
thoughtfully.
“Exist it does! I am sure of that.”
“Then why isn’t it found? But
never mind. If, as you say, Cali-
fornia is to become such a great
place, teeming with ships and peo-
poe, I hope it will be after I am
dead. I should hate to see it that
way. But if it happens, it will not
be in my time.”
Still deep in thought, her febrile
imagination tricking her into the
maddest imaginings, La Goberna-
dora rode quietly by her husband’s
side. It had been impossible for
her to have another word with
Dagelet, who rode, also wrapped in
thought, close to the side of the
Count.
The Governor and his guests can-
tered up to the gate to the com-
pound which surrounded the mis-
sion buildings, and left their horses
with servants. At the door the-y
were greeted by Padre Lasuen,
swinging the aspergillus. With wel-
coming murmur he sprinkled them
with holy water, and they entered
the church.
How could the French visitors
know that it was a matter of pride
and sacrifice that the altar was 11-
■ luminated with a hundred candles
in their honor, or that the ceremo-
nial vestments Padre Lasuen wore
were only brought out on the high-
est occasions?
To them it seemed so simple, so
crude, so nearly pitiful . . . but
their religious feelings were deeply
touched, and the sonorous Latin of
the old pioneer priest, thanking God
for their safe delivery to these dis-
tant shores, and begging Him for a
safe conduct across the waters,
home, brought tears to many eyes.
Eulalia sank into the chair pro-
vided for her, and let her eyes rove
about at the people around. There
was Indizuela, her face stolid, im-
passive. And there was Angustias.
She was weeping!
“What, in heaven’s name,”
thought La Gobernadora, “ails her?
I must find out.”
And there was her husband, and
La Perouse, the dark of the Gover-
nor’s head and the silvery white of
the Count’s peruke contrasting
strongly in the candlelight.
And there was Le Papite Dagelet
. . . Again her thoughts began to
whirl. A sudden revelation came
to her. If she sailed away from
California with the French expedi-
tion, she would become Dagelet’s
mistress. She brushed her forehead
hastily with trembling fingers. She,
to belong to another man than Pedro
Fages! Was it possible?
The thought struck like a blow,
and stunned her for a brief spell.
Her knees bent automatically in
the genuflections of the service. She
stood, knelt and sat automatically,.
her lips murmured responses. Her
bewildered mind began consciously
functioning again. Cautiously she
turned over the thought of ’being
Dagelet’s mistress while the low
tones of Fray Lasuen’s devout voice
droned on.
Another man ... to make love
to her. She said it over and over
jn the rhythm of the litany her lips
Fat and Hunger
Perhaps the greatest service
performed by fat is its ability to
give “staying power” to the diet—
to satisfy hunger. In this respect,
it directly affects the disposition
and may influence the ability to
enjoy life.
The shortage of fats in European
countries during the World war
graphically demonstrated how a
deficiency of this class of foods
can destroy the morale of entire
nations.
With supplies cut off or very
greatly curtailed, the warring
countries found it necessary to ra-
tion fats closely. As a result,
their people were always hungry
and dissatisfied, even when their
actual needs were satisfied. In
this connection, it is interesting to
note that a slice of bread and but-
ter or margarine will delay the
onset of hunger longer than a slice
of bread and jam, even though the
number of calories may be the
same.
“Yes. Fray Lasuen says, with a
smile of tolerance, that they are
only children, and must play. And
they have grown too old to learn
new games. Another priest you
would have admired was Fray Pa-
lou. He was a Mallorcan, as was
Serra, and after serving here a lit-
tle while as Padre Presidente after
Serra’s death, has retired to Mex-
ico where he is writing a life of his
Brother Junipero.”
He laughed suddenly.
“But all the priests that have
come to California have not been
saints, by any means. We had two
here for a while, and please do
not embarrass me by asking how
they got here, who were fiends sent
straight from Hell, as good Junipero
used to say. One was Fray Mariano
Rubi, and the other Fray Bartolome
Gili. A crapulous pair!” He laughed
uproariously.
“Mon Dieu! They sound like some
of our famous French friars of the
moyen age. And what became of
them?”
“Por Dios, their fate was too good
for them! One of them was put on
the Manila galleon as chaplain, and
he sails annually from Manila to
Acapulco and back, trip after trip,
and is never allowed to set foot on
land. That is a terrible punish-
ment, for the poor man is seasick
all the time. The other is a chap-
lain in a prison, and is virtually a
prisoner himself. I heaved a sigh of
relief when those two were deported
from California.”
“Although they did add to the gai-
ety of the place,” put in Eulalia.
“One never knew what they were
going to do.”
“What!” exclaimed the Governor,
“my lady speaks again! She has
been so quiet ever since the meri-
enda, I was afraid she was dis-
pleased or ill! How is it with you,
querida, are you . . .?”
Eulalia could feel Dagelet’s fin-
gers smoothing the hem of the green
riding habit. There was a low thud
of tom-toms, a beating of rattles,
punctuated by sudden savage
shrieks and screams. A long queue
of nearly naked Indian youths be-
gan dancing around the fire, and
while the games and dances lasted
all conversation died, except for a
quiet unheard whispering that
passed trader cover of the excite-
ment between Eulalia and Dagelet.
“You are most beautiful in the
firelight, your Majesty,” murmured
the man. “Your beauty gleams out
of the dark, amid this rude setting,
like an exotic jewel.”
The woman sighed, and moved
her hand until it touched his shoul-
der. The fire was darkened for a
moment as a group of dancers pos-
tured before it. He reached for the
hand, and again Eulalia felt subtle
excitement when his lips kissed her
palm.
“Prenez garde!” she murmured.
Then, after a moment, “When you
said, when you said, ‘Come!’ this
morning, on the cliff . . . did you
mean it?”
Dagelet drew away ever so slight-
ly.
“Ah, but yes! At the time.”
“At the time! What do you . . .?”
“Sh!”
The chanting of the Indian danc-
ers had died down to an ominous
silence. Only the crackling of the
fire and the wind in the trees was
audible. The performers filed into
and healthful foods,
points of view arise from
ignorance of dietary facts.
Fats Are Necessary to Health
Fats have a number of im-
portant functions to perform.
They are a concentrated fuel
food, having more than twice
the energy value of an equal
weight of protein or carbohy-
drate.
One-half ounce of fat, that is one
