the side he fisAed 1t up and put It In
hic pocket. When he returned after
delivering the fish, he noticed a
strange form on the rock and heard a
weird song floating over the water. It
ran:
The daughter of the merman's king
came upon the sands to sing
And comb my golden hair while
And feel the warm suns merry smile
MY comb Is lost amid the foam,
So never can l reach my home"
Now Jarl knew that no mermaid
was ever allowed to return home with
put her comb, and he pitied the one
whom he heard moaning. So rowing
up close to the rock, he called out
softly that he had found the comb.
Then up on the beach ran a lovely
maiden. 1t can hardly be said she ran,
for the upper half of her body was
that OF q woman and the lower half
that of beautiful fish, every scale
glowing with the colors of the rainbow
But she managed to wiggle up on the
sands.

sprang from the boat II am coming

waves When she turned and thanked
Jarl gratefully.

When the mermaid had told her
father of the loss of the comb, and
how Jarl had returned 1t the King was
delighted.
Take the lad to the lake Of pearls. .
he said to his daughter, "and let him
fill his pockets. But remember, boy,
that you can remain only FIVE minutes.
In that time you can gather at least a
gallon and that will make you rich for
life But II you remain longer the Ogre
of the Sea will harm YOU"
The mermaid showed Jarl the way
to a small pool back under q rock,
where the bottom was covered with
beautiful pearls. In three minutes the
lad had filled his pockets and climbed
out. but just as he turned the corner
of the rock he saw the dark form of
the Ogre of the Sea swimming away
disappointed.
Now" said the King, as the boy
came back into the cavern, conduct
him home, daughter"
Taking the mermaid's hand, Jarl
felt himself rising to the top Of the
sea.

THE MERMAID's GIFT

Once upon time there lived a
fisherman and his two sons in q
small house on the rocky coast Of
Finland. The weather was very cold
for the greater part Of the year, so
the people dressed in skins and made
their living by fishing and hunting.
The older lad was named Ole and
was really fine hunter and fisher,
but he was lazy, and when the IA
theirs back was turned Ole made his
brother Jarl do all the work. When
the father went to the market in the
village every other day, Ole would go
to sleep and make Jarl do twice as
much work as the father had left for
them. And as consequence, Jarl was
small and weak and Ole a big, fat,
strong lad, as greedy as he was lazy.
Nov, lads" said the father one

.LEYLAND LINER IS
IN PORT FOB COAL
LARGE STEAMER ARRIVED LATE
IN AFTERNOON FROM GAL
WESTON, WITH LARGE CARGO
IN TRANSIT.

Arriving late in the afternoon, the
large Leyland liner Oxonian was i'm
mediately boarded and steamed up to
Muscogee wharf, where about one
thousand tons of coal will be fur
nished. This is vessel of 4,072 tons,
and as she stands very high out of the
water placing bunker in the ship
will be a thorough test for the new
equipment at the coal dock named.
The Oxonian, which has been at
Galveston about ten days, is bound
for Liverpool and has large mis-
cellaneous cargo in transit. Of course
Immediately upon reaching port, the
boarding officer saw to it that her
wireless attennae had been sealed, as
the law required, and the big four
spared ship slowly made her way to
the coal chute, and will probably be
ready to go to sea by daylight.

All people in America and espe-
cially those who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and
in consequence deposit lime-salts in
their arteries, veins and joints. They
often suffer from twinges of rheuma-
tism or lumbago, sometimes from
govt, swollen hands or feet. Such
people are not always able TO exercise
sufficiently in the outdoor air or drink
enough pure water in order to sweat
freely and excrete impurities thru the
skin. DR.. Pierce has conducted ex-
periments and thoroughly tested 3

That there has not been one mad

this is of especial interest, for with
the approach of "Dog Days" much
anxiety will be aIlayed.
Continuing DR.. Brink stated that
general impressions of the prevalence
of hydrophobia are incorrect, and
should be discouraged, for many per-
sons cannot distinguish between
rabies and many other diseases by
which dogs are afflicted, particularly
in the summer time.

ed by excessive heat, but this should
not be confused with hydrophobia

Continuing DIR. Brink stated that
the police are frequently called to Kill

that a much better course would bt
to capture the animal if possible, anc
keep it under close observation.
DR.. Brink also stated that provision
was made at the laboratory for keep
