9UNG FOLKS 4 "V / The Story of Chnb. Chub is a turtle. When this story begins he was sunning himself on a bit of beach that bordered a little ■ pond in the woods. His mother was t- neazJby, for Chub was only a little fel- j low, no bigger than a fifty-cent piece, | and she had kept a close eye on him from the time Lie first came out of the : sand a few months before. Chub long- \ ed to set out and see the world for \ .himself, but his mother always said: "Don't be in a hurry, Chub, to seek adventure. If you will only wait r long enough, perhaps the adventure will come to you." _ And sure enough, while Chub and his mother were sunning themselves on the sand the adventure came--in the form of a small but very active boy who was walking in the woods with his mother. They had a luncheon luncheon basket and a bunch of wild flowers flowers that they- had been picking. When Chub's mother saw them, she called out, "Come, ccme, Chub Turtle! The water is the best place for us!" Straightway she splashed into the; pond as fast as she could > go, but j Chub lingered on the sand. All would I have been well if he had obeyed his ■ mother; but he disobeyed her, and so he had only himsel* to blame for what; followed. | When Mother Turtle splashed into the water, the boy--whose name was ! Sonny--left his mother and came run- : ning_ to the shore. His eyes fell on Chub, and quick as a flash he pounced on him and picked him up. j "Oh, look, mother! Look!" he call-! ed. "See the baby turtle! I am go-, ing to take it home! Please say thatj I may!" > Sonny and his mother took a little box froip the lunch basket and •ÿut Chub into it, and with him some wet moss and sand to make him feel at home. Sonny put the tin box that w r as Chub's home into a warm window, and caught fiies for him to eat and brought water to keep the moss damp, until he and Chub became very good friends. When Rodney and Dwight, two of Sonny's friends, saw Chub, they said at once that they, too, want-; ed a turtle, and promptly made plans to go to the ponc^ to hunt for some of Chub's brothers and sisters. While they were talking it over, an automobile automobile came chug-chugging along the driveway. Sonny ran to get his wagon out of the way, but in his haste he upset it and spilled Chub into the Beware of the Gold Storage Egg! In his work on food and dietetics Doctor Robert says, "the absence of carbohydrates carbohydrates prevents eggs from being in any sense a complete food." This refers •to the fresh egg--the egg with a clean bill of health. What would Doctor Hutchison Hutchison say of the modem 'cold storage egg? At present present prices two eggs cost ten cents--and the egg is not a complete food! Something Something must be eaten with it to supply the needed carbohydrates. carbohydrates.

They are restricted restricted to Asia, where they range from Queensland in the north to Malaysia Malaysia and Hindustan in the south. The Idnian and Malaysian forms are usually regarded as distinct species; but the differences between them are not well defined. The Central Asia type, on the contrary, is characterized by larger teeth and the growth of a thick winter coat. As compared with wolves and jackals, wild dogs are long in the body and low on the legs; such a thing as spring talk, even as early as this, has not been unheard of. We may be thoroughly assured, however, that the straight lines and slim silhouette, . of which we , have heard and seen so much, are to stay with us throughout the season.

The Dugouts Made in Ancient Mound Where Ancient Warriors Lie. In the foreground of the British troops' view stands the Butte de War- lencourt, the mysterious "tumulus concerning concerning whose origin nobody upon the countryside can tell one anything-- the burial place of captains and of kings in wars outlived and fofgotten. It used to be a green hump rising abruptly beside the big road, fifty feet high and one hundred yards or so at its baser There was a path up its slopes and a bench and an arbor on its summit, and scars here and there upon Its flanks where antiquaries had burrowed into the pitch black tombs beneath it. It was a derelict of history history adrift upon the sea of Time; but now history has captured it and made it fast forever. At least two great dugouts for large numbers of men have been located jaws.

A TALK ON RHEUMATISM Telling How to Actually Cure This Painful Malady. This article, is for the man or woman woman who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not merely relieved--but actually cured. The most the rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the tender, tender, aching joint, is a little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or can make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood. Therefore u*. rheumatism can only be cured when withiT the"" Butte, and° besides "th^e i this poisonous acid is driven out of are the old sepulchral chambers where ; the blood. Any doctor will te German soldiers can sit among the this is true.

They make new, rich blood which grass. ! That was a most exciting adventure. : Chub was not hurt, but he was afraid some one would step on him; and what should he do if Sonny did not find him?" The three boys hunted and hunted for Chub a long time. They looked everywhere except in the right place, and they might never have found him at all if Binx, the cat, had not come to help them. Binx had keen eyes and a sharp nose that led him straight to the spot where Chub was. and in a moment more Sonny had the baby turtle in his hand and was carrying him to the safety of the tin box. j A few days after that Sonny and his mother took -their luncheon and went for another walk to the woods where the pond was. "I'll take Chub along," said Sonny. "I'm sure he will like a picnic, too;;; and perhaps we can find another babyj turtle to bring home with him." .. I But it did not happen at all as' Sonny planned. While they were be- ; side the pond he took Chub from the tin box a ndput him down on the ground. ' "Be careful, Sonny!" called his i mother. "Don't leave Chub there, or ' he will go into the water!" | "Oh, no, he can't get away," said; Sonny, and he watched the baby turtle | :rawl very slowly along the sand. j But suddenly Chub knew that he ! .iked the woods, and the sandy beach, and the water better than a tin box, j and before Sonny could seize him he j nad hurried into the water and dis-j appeared. ! Sonny looked and looked, but Chub: lid not come back. j "It's all right," Sonny said at last: ; •Probably he will be happier there, ; and I'm sure his mother will be glad to have him home again." So it came about that Chub, who had become a prisoner because he did not obey Mother Turtle, got his liberty liberty again because Sonny did not obey. Jais mother. Chub has often told the: story of his adventures to the other, little turtles, but he suns himself now' on a log or a lily pad, rather than on' the sandy shore where some one might come along and pick him up.-- Youth's Companion.

India's Animal Toll of Human Life to Jungle Denizens, More than 28,000 people were killed by snakes and wild animals in British India last year. The Government reports reports show that 1,928 persons were slain by tigers and other beasts, and 26,385 perished through being bitten by reptiles, an increase over the previous previous year of 3,700 deaths met in this manner. No figurés are available for the native states with their population of some 90,000,000. During the past five years elephants, elephants, tigers, and other animals have killed, 9,192 people in British India, and, of these, tigers have claimed a toll of 8,682. In the same period 116,828 persons have died .as the result, of snake bites. Last year the highest total of deaths due to animals in any one province was in Bihar and Orissa, where 684 people lost their lives, tigers alone accounting for 876. In the United Provinces one man-eating tiger in the Almora district - killed ten persons out of the provincial total of twenty. In order to effect the destruction of as many wild animals and snakes as possible the Government pays bounties. The number of animals destroyed destroyed in 1915 was 25,036, including 1,582 tigers, 6,623 Jeopards, 2,775 bears and 2,191 wolves. The total number of snakes killed was 184,663. -- BRITISH ARMY EFFICIENCY. Maui, in rr. N ADA CONTAINS NO Alum NC Plenty for the Money.
