give not had a scrap Of fun lately"
said Peter Goblin. 1--WE had so much
work to do. I had to go around to see
so many children when they were
dreaming to let them know they
mustn't eat foolish things which made
them sick.
81 also had to tell them that wasn't
bad soul at all, but nice and jolly"
Peter Goblin grinned when he said
this.
"It's annoyed me so many times to
hear folks say to children, Look out,
the COLLINS will get you
"And the children always shivered
and looked into dark corners at night
and under the beds. Oh, how angry
it has made me. And all my brother
COLLINS have been talked Of in the
same way.
"It's nothing but idle gossip, to be
sure, but it has been very annoying
most-because children have believed
it to be true.
"To Think" and Peter Goblin looked
as if he were going to cry, "to think, "
he repeated, that children shouldn't
like us. Why, children are the incest
creatures in all the world, and love
them, l do. That's why I am SO W.
happy when they talk about me-"
The Fairy Queen had been listening
to this talk and she felt sorry that so
many untrue stories had gone around
the children's world about Peter Cob
lin and the goblin brothers.
"TH tell you what I'd do, Peter" she
said.
"Keep on trying to tell as many chill
dren as you can how much you like
them. Tell them that in years gone by
people were far more nervous than
they are now. They were afraid Of the
dark and things like that.
"Tell them that you are never hid
ing in the dark, and that you only
come to them when they are asleep.
Explain as much and as often as you
can that you never carry them far
away from home, but that you simply
sit on their bedposts and talk to them"
II give them little friendly advice
about not eating too much that won't
agree with them. But that's only be-
cause / love Them" said Peter Goblin.
II am SO afraid they will be sick, the
precious dears."
"You said you had been working
very hard lately, Peter, and that you
wanted some fun. Have you been
hearing sad things? And why has your
work tired you? Of course you should
play too. I'll tell you what We'll do.
Well give coasting party for all the
COLLINS after your work is over tonight.
Eth, Peter? A coasting party and a
good hot supper"
"Fine!" said Peter. "Simply fine!"
Yes, have been getting discouraged

God in Nature.

More than ever we need to appre-
ciate the works of God as shown in
the material world. A blue sky, flick
ering shadows on the grass, the grace
in the flight of a bird-these things
should give us the sense that God is
still in the world. Let us listen to the
voices Of the brook. Let us watch the
waves of the lake. We may or may
not know what is on the farther, I'M
seen shore, but we can build mental
pictures of great beauty. There are
thousands Of beautiful pictures all
around us if we have eyes to see and
soul to appreciate them.

lately, because I've overheard so very
many of these cruel speeches about
me. I do consider it's cruel to make
children hate me when love them So
''It does seem hard" said the Fairy
Queen. "We'll just have to work hard
to make them get over such ideas.
And I'll help you too, Peter"
THANK YOU" said Peter Goblin, as
he hoped and jumped away, for he
felt far more cheerful now.
He went to call on his friends, the
children. He had a very hard time
with one little girl. "Good evening"
said Peter, as he perched himself on
the edge of the right bedpost of her
bed.
She drew the clothes over her head.
ooh, don't do that" screamed Peter.
"1t will make you have bad dreams
and maybe you'll smother
sob, DEAR" thought Peter, "she will
dream I'm horrid indeed if she does
that" But after a moment she poked
her head out again and looked at Peter.

for he looked so funny and yet SO sad.
But still she was frightened, until
after she had looked again (for be-
tween looks she hid her face), she saw
two big tears rolling down Peter Cob
Inns funny little face.
whats the matter, little sir?" she
asked. She wanted to be polite when
he felt so badly and yet he seemed so
small and tiny to be called just sir.
I'm blue and sad," said Peter,
"cause children think I'm bad. They
think hide in the dark to catch them
And I love them, and want to tell
them stories. Not a single goblin has
ever hurt a child-no, no, no! Why,
we would disown a bad goblin, we
would"
And at last the child saw that Peter
certainly was nice, and he went to the
coasting party happy that he had
proved to one little girl the truth abou,

Cure for Dysentery.

"While I was in Ashland, Kansas, a
gentleman overheard me speaking OF Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy" writes
William Whitelaw, of Des Moines, Iowa. He
told me in detail Of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his daughter who
was lying at the point of death with violent
attack of dysentery, and had been given up by
the family physician. Some of his neighbors
advised him to give Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which he did, and fully be-

child He stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally gratifying re-

TO BAR FOOD CORNERS
France Plans to Prevent Boost
in Prices.
Food Minister Is Inclined Toward
Monthly Rationing Scheme-Po-
tatoes Plentiful.

Paris-M. Victor Boret, the French
food minister, it is said Will bring be-
fore the cabinet important measures
for preventing the increase in meat
prices and in the cornering of sup
plies. The commission that he sent
to London, it is understood, has re-
ported unfavorably On the introduce
ton, for the present at least, of the
English meat card.
The French bread card has given
good results and the food minister in
clines toward the monthly meat card
which for 10 days will entitle the
holder to two and a half ounces Of
meat, for eight days four and a
half ounces Of tripe, rabbit or fowl, and
for four days six ounces Of cold meat.
He points out that the French herds
have suffered much more than the Eng
1ish, there being larger supplies Of
fish and frozen meat in England than
In France NJ Boret adds that there
are plenty Of potatoes, that he is try
ing to increase the catch Of fish, and
that larger quantities Of macaroni in
its various forms will be available.
Parisians who sometimes find that
their baker supplies them with bread
of a darker -four than usual are adj
vised in a note Issued by the food min
istry not to make this reason for
buying at another shop. The varia-
ton in the color is due to the fact
that some of the wheat imported from
the United States is for reasons of
tonnage economy not refined to the
same degree as In France, and trans
port difficulties sometimes prevent the
making of uniform mixtures. AS the
same variety Of flour is rarely deliv-
cred twice in succession to the same
baker, it Is in the customers inter-
est that he should always make his
purchase at the same shop.

Patriotic Italians
Ask That Their Flag
Appear in Parades

The following letter to the editor of
the Telegraph, signed Group of Ital-
an-Americans," was received to-day
ed:
In all the patriotic parades that
nave taken place in Harrisburg we
have noticed that united with the
glorious flag of America the flags Of
England and France have had their
places in line. We regret very much
that the Italian tri-color has been for
gotten quite often when the stand
ards of Americas allies are displayed.
Has not Italy taken her stand in this
great war with the other allies? Has
not Italy given her sons for the cause
of humanity and freedom?
Last Monday we again observed
the same neglect of the Italian flag.
the emblems of England and France
being alone united with that of the
United States and the flag of italy
being conspicuous by it's absence. We
wish to impress upon the organizers
of patriotic parades the fact that not
alone in Italy but in this country
as well, Italians are flocking to the
colors in the name of universal free
dom and are taking their stand in the
theater of war for the very things
America is contending
Among the brave boys who left
Harrisburg recently were goodly
number of Italian birth as ready to
give their all as any of the others
to make the world safe for demo-
cracy We wish that in the future
Italy as an ally of America, shall not
be forgotten"

go "over the top" have rich red
blood coursing through their
veins. This blood must contain
about as much iron as there is in
a common railroad spike. The
red blood corpuscles must be fed
on iron to have that rich, red
color. The nerves are fed on the
red blood corpuscles, so when
you feel tired, worn out before
