Sang the South Wind as he
came blowing gently from the
south.
"Oh. dear" grumbled little
Frank from his place on the win

down there. It's so cold here"
"All right" sang the South
Wind; "just go to sleep"
Frank obeyed, and in a trice he
felt himself and the couch lifted
right through the window and
carried on over snowy fields on to
green pastures and past pretty
Villages and broad rivers-on and
on till at last the couch sank down
I in a grove of beautiful orange
trees.
How warm it was! Flowers
and birds singing everywhere.
Frank got up and walked about to
examine his surroundings. Here
beyond the orange grove he found
ripe bananas growing. He ate
some of these, and how good they
tasted
Further on he met some dark
skinned children playing queer
games. They took him to their
homes of grass and bamboo. While
some of the houses were built on
the ground, others were set up on
high posts and had to be reached
by ladder.
How happy and idle all these
dark-skinned people seemed to be.
They could play or sleep all day
if they wished. Some went hunt
ing, Others took the long bark ca
noes and went fishing. If any
one was hungry all he needed to
do was to go to the banana or
orange trees and pluck the fruit.
The wind began to whistle, and
Frank ran hurriedly back to the
couch, and the wind carried him
home again. He awakened to find
himself on the floor. He had fall
len off the couch.
He ran and told his father of
the wonders he had dreamed, and
said, Some day when I'm grown
up I'm really going there"

Dear Miss Grey: What causes

A.-Puftiness may be due to
general fiabbiness of tissue, due
to lack of exercise and outdoor

eyes may indicate heart or kidney
trouble. The brown circle indi-
Gates intestinal sluggishness, and
the resulting absorption of pois-

the constipation. Drink freely of
