BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Looking down from the tall Tree
close by Farmer Browns henhouse,
Dob White saw many strange
.hings. AT least they were strange
20 him. In the 4 FIRST place there
we're a great many big birds. some
thing like MRS. Grouse, only q great
deal bigger, some brown. some
white. some black and waite. some
speckled. They were in yard
made Of that queer stun that fences
are often made of--wire. Some OF
hem seemed 10 want TO get out
and Sob couldn't understand why
they didn't ny out. He thought
them very stupid. Some " ere walk
ing in or out of the house. and that
seemed queer TO Bob, who never
nad been In any kind OF a house
in all mis- life
One or two inside the house were
making a great fus, about some
hing. crying Cut. cut, cut, ca-da
cut" over and over again. Bob
thought them very noisy creatures.
II he had known that they were
making all that noise because they
had laid some eggs he would have
thought them sillier than he did.
No bird In her senses on the Green
Meadows, or In the Green Forest,
would ever even hint that she nad
laid an egg. Such things are not
told there. II isn't safe, and a bird
who did tell would DO thought
crazy.
But the strangest thing Bob
looked down on was-guess what.
II was little brown bird who
looked just like himself only diff.
ferent. II was his lost darling, the
one whom he had last seen falling
to the ground after the bang Of the
hunters terrible gun. and whom he
had thought killed. Bob knew him
right away. or course. And yet he
ookcd. strangely different. This
vas because there were strips OF
10th bound around his body to
keep that broken wing in place so
that II could and would mend. OF
course Bob had never seen anything
like that before and he didn't know
Just what to make OF IL.
But he didn't waste any time
thinking about It. With a glad little
cry he few down into the heiyard.
Then he discovered why his lost
baby The wasn't bnby any LONGER
but Rob thought of him as such)
hadn't come to him instead OF call.

would talk to me intimately. and at

And the man for whom cared

II was thinking OF us. Beth. Don't
you want me To do that?"
And I would not have the faintest
idea what to say.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water may save you from dread
 atf1ck

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author ity. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast 1t out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing tthe kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon full in d glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week This Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action. thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive. harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with uthia and is used with excellent results bv thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervesct mt lithia- water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

precision and worry, usually blamed to \ other causes is due to constipation.
 Even chronic constipation can be cor rected by care in the diet and proper treatment with gentle laxative.
 The use of harsh laxatives, unfortun- ately so common, gives temporary relief but in the end aggravates constipation. Pinkletsare dainty ,sugar-coated granules, they act gently, causing no nausea or gripping. They clear away the waste and prevent congestion. With little per- sistence, which the result is we'll worth, Pinklets really correct chronic constipa- ton.
 Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y., for free sample or get full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from vour own druppist.
