GOLD FISH SHOP.

There was great deal of excite
ment," said Daddy, ''in a shop which
sold goldfish, canary birds and par
rOts.
1.-THE excitment, however. was entire
~ among the goldfish. The canarieS
sang quite happily, the parrots talked,
scolded and shrieked. but none of the
birds were the least bit excited.
1.-The goldfish were very nervous.
They were splashing and wigglil.g their
inns and saying to each other as they
nudged past in swimming, Whatever
will We dor
"And another would answer, There
Is nothing to do. We simply have To
wait. But, oh. how sad for the ones
who will be chosen. How very, very
sadi How extremely sadr
~And then they would grow more
sxcited than ever for no one knew
which one would be chosen, and each
thought it would be the one to be
chosen next.
SLOW nervous they were! And they
kept growing more nervous. They be-
gan to feel quite ill, and as they did,
their dorsal fins dropped and did not
stand up straight ON their backs as
d0rsal fins should do.
SDOrsal fins show whether a fish is
well or sick. If the dorsal fin on a
11sh's back Is down and does not stand
sup the fish is not at all well. A fish
Is yelling in fine health and spirits
when his dorsal fin is up straight.
sBut these goldfish in the shop were
very nervous and they felt as if they
would be Ill If they grew any more
nervous.
til at last an old Japanese fish from
another bowl said,
"sWhat Is the trouble with all you
goldfish, over there? You seem to be
behaving very strangely. l have been
noticing you for some time
snow the japanese fish was in an
other bowl with few other expensive
0sh and they were quite different in
their markings from the goldfish. The
one who was speaking was of silver
and gold coloring, and another one
was quite black with queer pudgy eyes,
They were all little different and they
were supposed to be very fine.
Usually the regular goldfish be-
haved far better than the special fish.
They were healthier and gave less
trouble to the shopkeeper or to those
who took fish home in bowls and put
them In aquariums.
Though we may be cheaper the
goldfish used to say to the expensive
flsh, we are very healthy and we live

Summer Complaint.

During the not weather of the
summer months some member of al
most every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural looseness
of the bowels, aud it is of the great
est importance that this be treated
promptly, which can only be done
when the medicine is kept at hand.

High Jump Champion Now
Y.M.C.A. Athletic Director

Plat Adams. who won the worlds
standing high jump championship at
the Olympic contest in Stockholm
and was second in the standing
broad jump, has joined the host OF
noted athletes who have gone to
France for the Y. NJ. c. A. He will
instruct our troops in track and field
events and also in baseball as a
means of keeping up their morale and
to keep them from becoming muscle
bound from too ong-continued mill
tary drill. He had been engaged in
athletic work for the Red Triangle in
New York and induced number of
men prominent in the athletic world
to volunteer their services When
the recent intensive weeks cam
paign for recruits for the over
seas service closed Mr.. Adams asked
to be relieved of his duties here and
be sent TO France.
Mr.. Adams is considered the great
est all around jumper in the world.
He was consistent in his broad and
high jumping and few could equal
him in either. He did not confine
himself to jumping, but was a good
all around athlete. He was an eX-
cellent shot putter, pole yaulter,
hurdler, and Splinter in the days
when sports engaged his attention.
short time before he left for
France, he went out one morning to
see if his skill as a jumper had de-
fully two years, yet he easily clear
ed six feet at a running high jump.
| Mr. Adams was not a college ath
lete. He received all of his training
at the New York Athletic Club, after
he was twenty one years old He
believed that to the fact that he did
not begin his training until he had
his full growth and to the further
fact that he hau no college athletics
he owes his great success and his
strength that came to him in field
labread In addition to his interna-
tional achievements, Mr.. Adams won
the national championship in the
breM and high standing jump in half
Ia G. en- or more contests.
.'I am going to France" said Mr..
Adams, just before sailing. because
L think / can be of most service to
our troops there OF course, l shall
instruct whatever men are placed in
my charge in track and field events
as my training fits me best for that
work, but shall also organize base
ball mines 1 believe that the sol
diers should acquire versatility in
athletics for its recreational value
and to prevent becoming muscle
bound.
1.-the Y. NJ. c. A. cannot supply
directors for all of our military units
in France and it hopes to develop in
each company or regiment several
men who can be taught to act as di-
rectors after the ''Y" man has gone
to some other unit.
The y. NJ. c. a. needs more ath-
letfc directors in France" continued
Mr.. Adams, And il has been my
contention right along that the more
famous the athlete is the better for
the ~" for the simple reason that
big names attract attention 10 the
We. tn" Red Triangle is doing for
our troJna in France and draw OH
