In the first 10 days of the present

deaths on the Fourth.
The state board of health has rec

ace to life than the deerhunting sea-
son and this year began an active
campaign to try and save some of
those who fall victims to the annual
harvest of the waters. Cards giving

tackled up in prominent places. Illus

Little Susie has always been deeply
interested in mechanical toys, and
numbers several among her choicest
possessions. Recently the family cat,
having apparently eaten something
which disagreed with her, began a
mad race around the room, leaping
chairs, diving under sofas and turning
somersaults. Susie's mother, much
frightened, seized her small daughter
and mounted a convenient table. But
Susie remained unsecured. Clapping
her hands in glee, she shouted, Wind
