Of the Yucca and boil it at dawn, the
juice will turn anyone into a bird that
will continue to act in most ways as
IL 1t were mortal"
But where can ! find the yucca?"
whispered Oba again in her mothers
ear.
Down by the green pool" returned
the woman. THE water there is full
of the plant"
Oba ran out OF the house, and, as
she did SO. brushed past her sister
coming back to the hut singing in her
happiness. In a few minutes the
wicked girl had reached the pool,
gathered a handful of root and was
home again. Then she sat till dawn
to boil it down.
The next day the coming marriage
was announced and great prapara-
tions were made. When the night ar
rived. Oba opened the feast with her
dancing, which she kept up for an
hour. whirling about in a thousand
fantastic ways.
When it came to the turn Of the
bride, Sura rose timidly, but she soon
forgot the crowd and danced away as
lightly as a feather blown by the
breeze. The company broke into a
storm of applause. Oba took chance
when she thought no one was looking
to opur the yucca juice into the brides
cup, but she did not notice that the
bridegroom, when her back was turn
ed, exchanged the cups, so that the
one intended for Sura stood before
Oba instead. The young bridegroom
knew of the sisters jealousy, and see
ing something put into his brides cup
by the sister, knew it was for harm.
When Sura had finished, Oba
thought to Guido her sister, so she
started again in mad whirl. AS she
came by the bridegroom he took up
her cup and offered it to the tired girl.
You are weary with the feasting,"
he said, Drink and refresh yourself"
Oba turned up the cup and drank
thirstily. But hardly had she swal-
lowed it's contents when she uttered a
scramble charm was beginning to
work and she realized that she had
made mistake.
She commenced to shrivel up in the
legs. her body grew short and fat, her
neck pulled out into a long, ugly
thing, with tiny head, to which was
stuck a red bill. Two long, thin legs
reached to the ground-in short, the
wicked sister had turned herself into
crane. Then she began to dance.
Around and around she whirled, bow
ing and swaying in all kinds Of fig
ures, her bony legs sweeping in time
to the music, while her harsh voice
was raised in scream.
So waltzing, and bowling, and side
stepping, she vanished from view in
the swamp of the green pool, but no
one was sorry, for all felt she had got
ten what she deserved.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid OF dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dand-
ruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.

the tangled weeks they stopped. Here
they planned to have a wedding feast
and great dance the following week.
Oba, who was seated in the bushes,
heard every word and her face dark
ened with anger.
Never shall my sister marry the
man 1 love-" swore Oba under her
breath II will show her how she can
insult her older sister"
So Oba went home. and finding the
mother asleep. she asked questions of
her and received replies, for the wo-
man did not know to whom she was
talking.

Almost everyone knows Of the
funny little mice that whirl about
every few moments in q waltz, but
few have heard of a dancing bird that
lives far away in the wilds OF Aus
tralia, that wonderful country on the
other side of, the world.
Back in the depth of the jungle
there has lived for hundreds Of years
a race of people who are called Bush
men, az the forests they inhabit are
called the Bush. They are brown in
color and have long, black hair. while
their only clothing is at mat tied
around the body.
These Bushmen have always been
fond OF dancing. and every week they
would hold a feast, at which the girls
and men would prance around blaz-
ing fire from sunset till dawn, whirl-
ing about in the moonlight to the
music of the tom-tom and native
drums.
Among the maidens of the olden
times were two daughters OF a mother
who had great power in doing strange
things, and some even said she gath
cred poisonous herbs to put in the
food or her foes. The girls were not
at all alike. The oldest, whose name
was Oba, was dark beauty. but with
flashing eyes and fiery temper.
1ura, who was slight and quiet, had
IN gentle nature and was not at all
striking in appearance. Both were
beautiful dancers, but the steps Of
Sura were said to be more graceful
than those OF her sister, which made
the older girl very jealous. Besides,
the girls both loved a young man who
was devoted to Sura. So it soon hap
jpened that Oba grew to hate her
younger sister most heartily.
One night Sura and the young man
were walking in the forest down a
path bordered by thick bushes, and In

newspapers) was urged today by DR..
John f. Anderson, president of the
American Public Health association,
in session in this city.
"The old attitude of concealment Is
rapidly giving way before a new ap-
probation by health departments Of
the value of frankness in the handling
of epidemics," said Or. Anderson. THE
progress of the new idea, however
must be greatly accelerated If we are
to avoid the many evil effects of the
policy of concealment.
"The recent epidemic Of policmye-
litis in New York City is a most i'm
pressive example of the value Of
frankness. Health Commissioner En-
erson is to be congratulated on his
handling of the situation. The daily
statements of the progress of the cpl
demic given so frankly and freely to
the people of the city had three very
notable results.
First it resulted in hundreds Of
cases being reported that would not
otherwise be brought TO the attention
of the department.
Second, it caused parents to exer'
else unusual care of their children
which in turn resulted in their bring
ing to the attention Of physicians even
slight symptoms of illness which fire.
quently resulted in early diagnosis OF
paralysis and consequently successful
treatment where delay might have re-
suited otherwise.
"Third-the health department so
established itself in the confidence of
the people that any announcement It
made in regard to the epidemic was
accepted as authoritative. Thus, il
was that when the department an
nounced that the situation was grow
ing better. people Of the city believed
it and acted upon its advice to open
1.-THE schools. Children were brought
| back to town and permitted TO attend
school,
These very striking examples OF
taking the public into the confidence
Of a health department may well be
adopted as a guiding example by
health departments which still cling
TO the nation that concealment OF cpl
denies benefits the community.
"Epidemics are, in one respect like
compressed air in a tank. You can
keep it in the tank up to a certain
pressure point when the tank will
burst. The greater the pressure the
louder will be the noise and the great
cr the damage. Damage resulting
from sudden explosion of an epidemic
has been the experience Of every city
that has tried to conceal epidemic
facts"
