n URING the vacation days the
 M children of the cities flock to
 the country, and their little ~ country cousins go to the cities for a few days or a few weeks, according to the size of their purses This exchange>of locations Is due to the desire of each to learn about the life of the other.
 Did you ever see the city boy going about the farm. looking into every thing and asking a thousand ques- tions of the farmer and his sons? l? They investigate the implement sheds inquire into the manner of running riding blows, great ''headers'' and other farming machinery. They study the gardens, the fowls and the fields. helping to gather in the hay, assist ing with the milking and doing a dozen odd jobs about the farm which the farmers own sons hate to do. And the city boy enjoys every turn of the hoe or spade, every movement of the wood-saw and every bit of labor he is allowed to perform on the farm or in the barnyard. And when it comes to harvest time the city boy Is In his glory. He will work with a right good will, holding grain sacks for the filling. or anything his farmer host will permit him to do. Being green" at such work, he is sometimes held at arms length by the genuine farm hands. and his blunders are laughed at heartily. But if he is the right kind of city boy he doesn't mind his country cousins making a bit of fun at his expense, for he will return the compliment when his country cousin comes to him in the city and shows ignorance of certain things there.
 And when the country cousins go to the city they enjoy every moment of the time. They delight in going

 Hardly had Sadie got to safe po- sition in the tree when the raging and outwitted animal reached the boul- ders. He paved, snorted and beloved and shook the tree with his powerful head. But Sadie did not feel afraid, for she was well seated in crotch made by two stout limbs. and was firmly holding herself in place by means of two smaller branches which seemed to have grown there for the purpose.

 "Taddles-he got afraid of the snapping turtles" said Billy. You see, they're all round me- But as he said this, Billy discovered that there wasn't a single turtle in sight. He waded boldly towards the bank, but when about half way there some- thing got his toe. He began to scream. "Oh, mamma, the turtles have got me. They're goin' to carry me off and throw me in the river. Oh. mamma, save mel"
 But mamma only laughed and said, "Oh, you've caught your toe in some weeds. Stoop down and pull them loose." But it took mamma several hand down. Then he found 1t was just what his mamma had said,- some weeds caught round his toe.
 T don't see any of those wonderful turtles you tell about" laughed mamma. Here are your cookies. Do you want to go home with me?"
 "Yes, mamma, and-and-I'll never again steal baby turtle and throw it in the grass like I did last week." And to mammals inquiry Billy told what he had done with the little tur- tie. After he had finished, mamma said: "It was your own guilty con- science that made you think a turtle had grabbed your toe. You see, evil deeds make towards" And Billy felt he must never do an evil thing again. And he never did.

FAKE DRUGS NOW ILLEGAL
Taft Signs Bill to Prevent Mis-
branding Medicines.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington Aug. 2S.-Presdent Tart
to-day approved the bill prohibiting
the misbranding of drugs and fake
patent medicines by false statements
as to their curative powers winch
reached him day or two ago. Inc
law was passed at his suggestion. In
special message to Congress, he urged
the strengthening of the pure food law
to prevent the sale OF fraudulent nos
trums This was accomplished by adding
d paragraph, reading as follows:
If its package or label shall bear or
contain any statement, design or device
regarding the curative or therapeutic
effect of such article, or any OF the w
gradients or substances contained there-
in, which is false and fraudulent.
The necessity for this legislation was
made apparent by the Missouri decision
in the case of the United States against
Johnson. The appellee was indicted for
delivering for shipment from Missouri TO
Washington certain medicines bearing
labels which stated that the contents were
effective in curing cancer IL was alleged
that the defendants never knew that such
representations were false. The case
reached the United States Supreme Court,
which In majority decision construed
that part OF the pure food law relating
to the misbranding Of drugs to limit
false statement as 10 what the ingredients
are. In other words. they confined the
term "misbranding'' to false statements
regarding the contents.
The decision was regarded by the pro
prietary medicine manufacturers and by
the Department of Agriculture as making
impossible successful prosecution OF
any person who sells a worthless or in
furious drug with false and deceptive
statements upon the label Of the package
rcEai ding its curative eject.
The decision of the Supreme Court in
the johnson case was consd red so Sc
riCus TO the people OF the United States
by the President that on June u, 1911,
he transmitted to Congress a special mes
sage calling attention To the necessity OF
passing at an early date an amendment
to the law to remedy the situation.
