Why THE TURKEY IS BALD
Lost Feathers in Saving the Last
Spark of Fire, is the Indian
Legend.

The Indians of our country have
many legends connected with certain
peculiar habits or customs prevalent
among them. If one should chance to
visit .the home of an old Indian he
would perhaps notice a turkey wing
hanging near the fire.
This the Indian uses TO fan his fire
into a fame and make 1t burn bright
ly, or perhaps in the sultry days of
summer TO fan himself If asked why
he uses the turkey wing instead OF the
wing Of any other bird. he would no
doubt relate the following story:
Many years ago the fire of the world
was nearly extinguished; this hap
pened just at the beginning of the
winter season. The birds of the air
were filled with anxiety, for their in
tuition told them they would need
heat.
A bird council was held and 1t was
decided that birds which could fly the
highest should scar into the air and
see if they could find spark OF fire
anywhere The efforts Of the eagle,
lark and raven were in vain. The
honor was left TO the little brown
sparrow, who spied spark OF fire In
the hollow Of an old stump in the
heart OF deep forest.
The birds flocked around the stump
and tried 10 decide who should pick
the spark out. But all their EFFORTS
were in vain: to their dismay they
saw the spark growing smaller and
fainter,
The turkey then volunteered to try
to keen the tiny coal alive by tanning
1t with his wings. Day after day the
turkey kept tanning. the heat became
greater each day, until the feathers
were singed off the turkeys head. II
one notices carefully he will see Jumps
on the head of turkey that appear
as blisters.
1t is believed that the turkey was so
badly burned that all turkeys since
have had bald heads and wear the
bisters as a memento of the bravery
of the turkey The faithful turkey
lost his beautiful feathers, but he gave
back fire TO the world; so in his honor
and as a memorial to his faithfulness
the Indian uses the turkey wing &c
make his fire burn. THE Red Man.

Every man who thinks up part of the

brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.

If he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable That

be in the food and drink

proportion in all.
To illustrate. we know bones are made large
