PROPER FOOD FOR
WEAK sToMAcHs

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suitable TO his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t Is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull and
stupid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels
They are easy to take and pleasant in
effect.

Lena Reniker-A Compost
ton, ''The Sacred Cow
of India"
Dear Editor.

Dear Editor:
This is the first time ] have ever
written to the Junior page, though !
read it and enjoy it very much. l
thought ! would send you one of my
English compositions. am thirteen
years of age and in the first year of
high school
The sacred COW of India is a very fine
looking animal with a large hump just
over the shoulders and their ears hang
down like rabbits instead of ordinary
cows. The Hindus worship these cows
and under no condition will they kill or
eat one In fact the Hindus would just
as soon think of eating their grand
father or grandmother as of eating u
piece of beef
In Benares, India there is temple
devoted to the worship of these sacred
cows. The natives regard this temple
too holy for visitors to enter the front
door, so they go around to the small
back entrance. Inside, the building there
is large court about as large as an
ordinary barnyard, in which the sacred
cows are kept. The natives bring them
water in brass jars and stand around
chanting while they drink.

H. Year-Ozd Miss Is '.Mother "
of the New Junior Red Cross

TTHEL Weed Mick, twelve years
old, is the mother" of the new
Junior Red Cross organization.
Etheps father is Capt William H..
Mick of the medical corps U. S. A.,
and is studying special Roettgen ray
work at the medical school in New
York.
Miss Mick's home is in Omaha, Neb
where her father practiced before en-.
listing at the outbreak of the war,
but she is living at present with her
parents in New York. She explained
recently how she first came upon the
idea of a Junior Red Cross
"You see,' said Ethel when they
started the Red Cross campaign in
Omaha last June and wanted to raise
money for the care of our soldiers in
France, I was one of the little girls
that was asked to go out on the street
and solicit money. l didn't have very
good success there. so l went into
the big Office buildings and talked
with the men until they gave me
money l raised the most money of
any child in Omaha, they said.
Then it occurred to me that there
ought to be Junior Red Cross with
all the children in it from the kinder
garten up. The kindergarten chill
dren, who cut out bits of paper might
just as we'll cut cloth to make pillows
for broken legs and arms. Children
sewing in school might just as well
sew things for our soldier boys and
not waste time.
Il told State Superintendent of
Public Instruction w. H. Clemmons
about it and he sent Lawyer Bigelow
of Omaha to Washington to make the
suggestion to congress and to officials
there. Now a new class of member
ship for the Red Cross has been
started, to which the 22,OOO,OO0
school children in America are eligi-
BILE. DR.. H. N. MacCracken, presi-
dent of Vassar college, has volunteer
ed his services as director of the bu-
reau of junior Membership
Ethel's father and mother first met
when they were students at a med
ical college in Omaha.

Johnnie Riggs ace {
the Rabbit and the
Tortoise"

Once there was rabbit and a tor
toise disputing about which could beat
in a race. At last they agreed to run a
race. They fixed the place to start at
and where to run to. A fox was the one
to tell them to start. When he said, one,
two, three, go, off they started. The
rabbit ran a long ways and said to
himself Il will lie down and go to
sleep: the tortoise will not be along for
a long time" Sc he went to sleep and
when he awoke he got up and ran on.
When he got to the place to stop the
tortoise was there. So slow but sure
won the race.

THE WINTER BIRDS.

When autumn's flaming torch has set
The hills and wales alight,
Then gather all the Feathered Clans
To take their southwark fight.
The goldfinch from the thicket fees,
The swallow from the caves;
His bower in the lilac bush
The slim, gray catbird leaves.
From meadow-grass and forest tree
Go bobolink and thrush;
And over field and stream, and wood,
There falls a sudden hush
From all their summer haunts and
homes
The Singing Tribes are gone
Oh, blessings on the winter birds
That bravely linger on!
The flicker shouts across the fields;
The CHEEKY chickadee
Hobnobs with all the sparrow folk,
Though they're of low degree.
The nuthatch makes his daily round
And hammers on the bark
Head up. head down, all one to him
With many a loud remark.
/ grant they are not musical,
They sing no tuneful lays;
But. oh, they give wondrous charm
To dull and gloomy days!
They break the deathlike calm that
broods
Above the earth's white shroud:
They flutter in the leafless trees,
Beneath the rainy cloud.
They drift before the coming storm,
Half-hid in falling snow,
Like little ghosts of autumn leaves
Wind-driven to and fro.
When come the slow, dark winter
morns.
l hear them at my door;
They chirp their thanks for scattered
crumbs.
And boldly beg for more.
| love the robins matin-hymn.
The blackbird's whistle clear,
The vesper-sparrow's dulcet call,
When night is drawing near;
The yellowbird's persistent chant,
The phoebe's plaintive song,
But dear as well the CHEEKY notes
That sound all winter long.
Bright is the robins breast of red
On some bleak day in spring,
And gay the orioles flaming coat,
The bluebird's azure wing:
But fair to me the winter birds.
In sober brown and gray,
The little brave and sturdy souls
Who do not go away!

SIX HUNDRED CHINESE
KILLED BY A TYPH0ON

Annoy, China. Sept, ls.--The ty-
phoon which struck Annoy the end
OF last week killed over 600 natives.
No foreigners have as yet been re-
ported lost.
As means Of communication with
the outlying districts we're cut OF by
the storm II is feared that the addi-
tional casualty lists will be large,
Eighty-hve per cent of the water
crafts In the harbor we're destroyed,
among them being the Japanese
steamship Amakusa OF 2,soo tons
which was driven upon the rocks,
where II now rests, probably beyond
the hope OF salvation.
The German steamer Keong Wal
was also driven upon the rocks and
Ia a hopeless wreck. Two other ves-
sells, the Chinese steamer Kango and
the. British hulk Shanghai we're
beached and II Is believed both can
be saved.
