...Corn Oil & Dextrose. Dole & Co. drew careful, if not highly significant, conclusions: "Limitation of protein appears to be a useful adjunct to the treatment of obesity, but, as with any other diet, regular medical supervision is essential."

But a free-lance writer and professional gourmet named Roy de Groot, serving as a night telephone operator at the institute, had been one of the out-clinic patients.

The mothers' hearts froze. For this, they knew at once, was Tikoloshe-the evil sprite...
...from nowhere, helped himself to a nice side of meat and decided that he had found a home. As it turned out, Old Yeller did great things for the isolated little family. He ran down rabbits and treed squirrels for the table. He helped keep coons out of the corn patch, and when a raging she-bear made for little brother, Old Yeller pitched into her with yelp and fang and held her at bay until the boy was rescued.
