MIDSUMMER FROLIC
Ny Dear Boys and Girls:

WI E will have the picnic in Syca-
w more Grove August 10. l want
every Junior who has written
to me during the past six months 20
come, for we will have a glorious
time We will have races and games
'and there are SO many beautiful trees
to climb. The little stream back of
the park is pretty now, and you can
have lots of fun there.
But before we play we must work
I am delighted with the letters during
the past week. The summer vacation
has brought fine @sults.
You have all known cranky old
ladies like Miss Amanths Murry, who
has never smiled and whom childIe en-
seem to irritate.
Can you imagine the result of the
meeting between this grabbed old lady
and the little girl?
What kind of little girl do you
suppose she was? Don't you think
she must have been rather an unusual
child? I have imagined many end
ings to that story. I think all of you
have fine imaginations, though. and
can do better every time you try.
I wish that you would write some
thing which has really happened in
the writer's contest. If you cannot
remember what you did on any par
ticular hot day this summer, you will
surely recall the hottest day last sum-
mer. Perhaps you couldn't do any
thing but read or sew all day because
it was so warm. I remember one day
last summer while I was visiting in
the mountains, it became so warm
that we had to come to the city. After
we had been in the city for a little
while we had to go to the beach
That was rather an exciting day and
even though it was so uncomfortab'y
warm we had lots of fun.
A little friend of mine planned a
party last summer and the day before
it was warm, so she told each of her
little friends to bring a kimono. They
had a nice cool time and the little
girls wore such pretty kimonas that
several of them have decided to re-
peat the party this year,
If you haven't read the fairy story,
Jack the Giant Killer" you can get
the book at any library, but please
don't disappoint me and copy, not
even the idea of your pictures. You
will have to think of some part of
the story which no other artist has
considered. Jack was a clever boy,
you know, and although he often got
into predicaments his wits always
helped him out.
I am so sorry, but by mistake the
Roll of Honor of the Artists Contest
was not changed last week, but is as
follows: Ruth Chadwick, 725 High
avenue, Redlands, first prize; Helen
Howell, III North Avenue &C, second
prize, and Verda Bridgeford, 1916 West
Seventeenth street, special front page
drawing prize.
Next week I will tell you all about
the picnic so that you can begin to
make your plans, Lovingly,
AUNT LAURIE.

Quaker Scotch Oats is the best Of

LL.D-F.R.S. Of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question Of the nourishing

is absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his. ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers OF
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those OF the meat

Anaesthesia's Discoverer.

At Jefferson, Ca, short time ago
there was unveiled monument erect.
ed to the memory of DR.. Crawford W.
Long in honor Of his discovery OF
anaesthesia or its first use in sur
,gical operation. 1t was in March,
1912, that DR.. Long, while instructins
several young men who were studying
medicine under him, was making some
governments with sulphuric ether
conceived the idea Of producing
anaesthesia by the inhalation of the
yapor. The experiments were success
full in causing a kind of intoxicatlon OF
his subjects and making them to a
degree unconscious of pain. Soon
afterward he made successful prac-
teal application of the ether in a
surgical case. DR.. Long made no at
tempt to exploit his achievement or
Law his claim of discovery before the
world. In 1900 Sir Humphrey Davy
observed the anaesthetic effect OF nj
irons oxide and suggested its use in
surgery, but DR.. Long, in 1912, was the
first to use an anaesthetic to perform
a surgical operation without pain to
the patient. In 1884 Horace Wells.
Hartford dentist, used nitrous OK
ide for the painless extraction OF teeth
and other claims of priority were
made about the same time by den
tists and physicians. DR.. Marion Sims
of New York has, however, published
q pamphlet in which he proves that
the credit is due DR.. Long.-Nashville
