WHAT MAY HAPPEN

Louisville Courier-Journal: All
that Germany has won in that
arena she yet stands to lose. 1t
is impossible to talk conclusive
ly about the present situation,
with the rumble of Russian con-
centration at Odessa and Sabas-
topol sounding in the ears, and
the landing of the French and
British troops going forward at
the southern end of the PENN
sula. The Balkan territory is
no more hopelessly lost to the
allies than East Prussia was
hopelessly lost to Germany when
the Russians made their spec
tacular sweep there early in the
war. This is not a war where
towns and territory "stay put"
under any flag. The scale of OPP
GRAFTON is too wide, and the
transfer of troops to new fronts
too urgently demanded, to admit
of safeguarding every advantage
won.
There is every support for
Germany's contention that she is
the victor in the Balkans at the
moment. Beyond this it is not
safe to assert anything except
that nothing is certain. A sweep
of Russians across Rumania, a
successful march of French and
British up the peninsula, and the
whole complexion of the situa-
ton would change. Not only may
a part of the territory quite con-
ceivable be regained, but the
real German gain-the corlmuni-
cation established with the
Turks-might be intercepted
with only a partial recovery on
the part Of the soon-to-be rein
forced allied armies in that quar-
ter.
Remembering the effect of the
present situation upon The chan
ces for allied success at the Oar
danelles, it may be counted upon
that every effort will be made to
alter it. It will not be safe to
speak with finality concerning
the Balkan campaign until the
result of this effort is seen.

Common baking soda is a soil
vent for uric acid, which is the
chief agent in the fills of the human
family. The consumption of meat
and the most of the heavy concem
trated foods tends to produce the
uric acid in the system and in many
cases acute suffering, disease and
death follow. Baking soda which
destroys the power of the uric acid
for producing disease, is simple,
cheap, and taken in moderation, a
harmless remedy for all the dis
eases caused by uric acid poison
ing of the system. 1t is very eff

Tanning the Chickadees.

Robert lived with his parents a.
mong the Green Mountains of Yer
mont. Their home though comfort
able was humble, and ALL through
the winter Robert went to the
woods with his father to help with
the wood chopping.
They had to rise at five in the
morning for they must have good
warm breakfast before they started
on the two mile walk to the woods.
By the time it was light they
We're i'm the woods ready for work
The little birds hoped about a.
mong the branches of the trees,
always singing Chick-a-dee, chivk-a-
dee. The chickadees do not go south
in winter as most birds do.
They learned that Robert and his
father would not hurt them and
We're very tame. Without bit of
fear they hoped about, almost get
ting i'm the way of the axes.
Robert thought he would like to
see how tame he could make them,
and every day scattered crumbs
from his dinner pail for them
AT noon they BUILT fire around
some dry stump and on sharpened
sticks warmed the food which they
had brought for their dinner.
The chick-aEdees always took a
lively interest in the noon meal, l
suppose because they knew they
would get a. share. 1t was fun to
watch them as they gradually for-
got their shyness.
Robert would put crumbs in his
hands and after while the chick
ADDE'S would light ON them pick al
the crumbs, and quickly fly away.
One day, when sitting by the
glowing fire Robert thought he
would see how far the little birds
trusted him.
So after feeding them from his
hand he placed some bread between
his lips, and leaned back against 6
tree.
They soon took it all. Then he
lay down on the ground and put {
crumb away back ON his tongue.
\ A plump little chick-a-dee soon
perched ON his lip, put his heat
in Roberts wide open mouth ant
ate it without any apparent fear
How much more happiness il
gave Robert to thus have the little
birds confidence, than if he hah
tried to kill them as some boys do.
The little birds are such trust
ing, confiding little creatures, an(
give us such merry music, how cal
amy one harm them?

Everyday traits of Human Nature
Among many other Things THAT are
true, according to experimental
proof, he informed his hearers THAT
too many "don'ts" spoil the child.
The sure way to get a. child to do
THE wrong thing was to continually
fire 'don'ts' at him.
We all know that a strong trait
of human nature lis to do the thing
which rs prohibited. 1t is also nat
ural to try to bend the will of the
child to our own. This is all wrong
We should allow the children tic
develop naturally, never antagoniz-
ing them, and correcting only whle
they are doing wrong.
The first few years of a child s
life he learns only from observat
tion, and he takes in knowledge
rapidly. In these first years if he
develops undesirable characteristics
1T is because he has observed the
same i'm us.
Impressions have been made upon
his plastic mind which will go with
him through his entire life by his
observation of our daily habits and
acts. These impressions are a part
of himself, and Influence not only
his life but that of his posterity
on which he again imprints them.

hand as they went down the street.
Robin trotted along by the side
OF mama, wondering where they
Were going, and what the riddle
rhyme meant for him to do with his
nickle.
He soon found out for they went
into the drug store ON the corner
and as clerk came forward mamma
said:
This little boy wants to hear
some music
The clerk smiled and led Robin
UP to a big brown box that stood
in the center of the store
Two long rubber tubes came out
OF the top of the box, with little
black cup shaped things on the
ends.
The clerk held these close over
Robins ears, and told him to drop
his nickle into a crack at the side
of the box
And what do you think happen
ed? OF course you can guess, for
monographs are quite common now
and almost every one has heard
them, but Robin Boy had never
heard one, and his eyes grew big
with wonder as he listened.
A plano began to play, and then
mans clear voice Joined i'm and
Sang with it.
When the sounds ceased he push
ed away the cups and looked a.
round to see where the music had
come from; but no one was there
but mama and the clerk.
What is it?" he said.
They told him but he could NOT
remember the NAME
Il want to hear it again. HE
said, but mama shook her head.
Not to-day" she said.
May come and hear it to-mor-
row?" he asked.
Perhaps but We must go now.''
AS they TUNED to go the clerk
handed Robin neatly folded paper
Here is a note which fairy
left for you this morning" he said
smiling.
Robin took the note and gave if
to his mama to read to him. This is
what was i'm the note.
Round and plump and soft,
Pretty as a pink,
Whittier than ball of snow,
Quicker than a wink.
When the doorbeM rings,
Rum and take a. peep;
II you find me Robin Boy,
am yours to keep.
Please to love ME, dear,
Much as l love you,
For I'm just a little white
Don't you wish you knew?
