Comments.

1t is a fortunate thing for some peo-
pie that spring comes around once in a
while, for warm weather almost com
pels them to open their windows and
doors.
Were cold weather to continue
throughout the year a lot of folks
would die of tuberculosis and pneu-
monia.
That tired feeling, poor compilations,
pale faced youngsters and lack of vi
tally and "pep" and room tempera-
lures in the seventies in cold weather,
are some of the trade marks of the
hOuse-air-breathers. You've seen
them. Their windows are seldom open
more than a crack, their houses are
overheated and even then they are al
ways cold because their bodies don t
get enough oxygen to make their own
heat, they are afraid of drafts, have
colds, much of the time and dom know
how it feels TO be really alive.
It's spring. Come out of it.

Cane kept track of her move

that she had left her room and was

half the distance across the field he
found a place where it was very easy
to creep through between the warped
rails of the fence. There was a
family marked path from this spot
leading into the woods. Full of hope
he started down the path that wound
among the trees, and after time he
was rewarded by seeing tiny cottage
