and concluding with the demand
that Emperor William "be deposed
from his dishonored throne.
Our homes are being dcsolated,

THE DEAD TOWN

was dead? Have you ever had
town described to you as a dead
town? Have YOU ever stopped to
analyzc just what is meant by these
woras dead town." In the last
analysis they mean ust one thing
and that is that the merchants OF
the town don't advertise. A dead

be merely existing Their shelves
are covered with apparently unsafe

complaining that other people did
business and made money but that
they didn't seem to be able to sell
anything. They guessed ii was the

WHAT BECOMES OF THAT CENT

A farmer comes to town WIN
thirty oranges, which he sells three
for cent, getting, OF course, 10
cents for them.
Another farmer, also with thirty
ORANGES, sells them two for a cent
Getting l. cents for his They get
% cents in all.
The next time them come in win
thirty oranges apiece, they meet at
the edge of town and put their or
ang,s together, making sixty or
/ anges. One man having sold two for
a cent. the other three for a cent,
they decide to sell them five for two
cents.
| They do so and when they are
through. find out they have received
but - cents.
The problem is: Why did they not
get as much for their oranges sci
ling them five for two cents as the!
did when they sold them separately

WALKING FOR HEALTH.

Out, girls! Out into the open, this
glorius winter weather. Never mind
the wind, never mind the snow. Put
on old clothes and rubber shoes, but
get your daily walk; be the weather
what it may. Dress loosely and com
Portable, wear easy shoes, hold your
head well up and your shoulders well
back, breathe deeply, FIJI your lungs
completely, hold the air d minute or
two, then breathe it out. Do this in
regular time, so many steps while you
breathe in, SO many more while you
hold it, then just step or two while
you breathe it out. Walk fast as though
you were obliged TO reach certain
place at given hour. This is one
royal road to health and beauty. 1t is
good for the circulation, the lungs and
the nerves. Exercise gives even pale

from close reading or sewing gives the

The fauna Of Uganda is probably
unequaled in variety and importance
In any other country in the world. On
the lakes are found a great number of
water birds, storks, cranes, hcrons,
iamingoes, geese, ducks and divers.
But the finest are perhaps the huge
eagles, which prey on the fish, of
which there is a great variety. Hippo
potamuses and crocodiles haunt all the
waters in the country. On land ele-
plants are found In Buganda, Bunyo-
TO, Buddu, TOro, Busoga, Elgon and
the Nile districts; buffaloes are found
near the swamps; wild boars, hyenas,
lCOpards and wildcats infest the
woods, where smaller creatures, such
as squirrels, gray parrots, monkeys
and guinea fowl, are found. In the
wild and more open country to the
north there are rhinoceroses, zebras, os-
triches and many varieties Of antelope,
and throughout the country vutures
and kites abound.
