OF h er insects,
for hope you do not mind if call you
a bug"
The pygmy anteater shook his little
head. Call me a bug il you will. 1t
doesn't matter to me. But I'm wise,
Oh, so wise, I know what is good to eat.
And that is wisdom. All, to know
what to cato always know what to
eat-it's great to be such creature
"But, Mr.. Bug" said the other in
sect, "yOu said a moment ago that
you could eat as fast and as quickly as
possible if the meal were of ants"
THAT'S what l said. / am glad you
paid attention to me. By listening to
me, you may learn wisdom" he ended
cOnceitedly.
"Rut you were wrong in what you
said. That is you said the same thing
twice. For to eat fast and to eat
quickly is the same.'
"Well, if I said the same thing twice
and the thing was wise to say, it
makes no difference" said the pygmy
anteater.
"Tell me your story them" said the
insect, ''for / can see you are longing
to talk about yourself"
"Only because at the present mo-
ment I have nothing to eat," said the
pygmy anteater.
"Well, don't bother about your ex-
cuse, go ahead and talk" the insect
said.
81 am the pygmy anteater," he be-
gan. 81 hold my paws before me
when I am not eating and l think OF
the ants I am going to eat and of
the ants I have eaten.

see if you take a good look at me. [
work at night only. I have four feet,
one nose, one tail, two eyes, one mouth
and a very happy stomach when filed,
and a very unhappy one when empty.
''But the interesting part of my story
is this: / have enemies. I have always
had them and suppose I will always
have them"
"Who are your enemies?" asked the
insect.
"The ants" said the pygmy ant
eater.
"Well, I don't know as I blame
them for being your enemies, when
you love to eat Them" said the in
sect.
"Your brains don't amount to much,
poor little insect" said the anteater,
''for it shows what lot / think Of
ants when I like to eat them better
than anything else.'
'That depends on whether it is your
turn to speak or the ants turn to
speak," said the insect. eff the ants
were talking they would say that it
was no compliment to be eaten. Or if
you thought it was a compliment, they
didn't"
"Poor stupids," said the anteater.
"Well, no matter, / don't care wheth-
err they are bright or not as long as /
can find the little dears to eat.

MO OCCASION FOR PANIC


Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearances
of grip or la grippe, which has swep.
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippo.
rates refers to an epidemic in 412
B. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had it's attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-inf1u-
enZa itself has a very low percentage
OF fatalitieS-nOt over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
n. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
Ing principally patients in rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
noon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as ii is now called
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishnesS, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feeling of weakness and depression
The temperature is from 100 to 104
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining Of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually a hard cough
especially bad at night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitiS, and frequently
all the appearances of a severe head
cold
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to Others-take
purgative, eat plenty of nOurishine
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, ETC., may be administered by
the phySiciSn'S directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for infiuenZa--the disease must
run it's course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger of pneu-
Eionia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over so or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.

Marshal Joffre's Estimate of Amer.
ican Effort in War.

PARIS. Tuesday. October MAR
shall Johre former Premier Viviani
and Capt. Andre Tardieu. head of the
general commission for Franco-Amer-
ican war matters, were recently asked
BY the magazine Lectures Pour Tous
to give an outline of what could be
expected from the American effort
toward deciding the war. In his an
swer Marshal Joffre wrote:
From the moment of my return
from Washington 1 have affirmed my
conviction in the realization and ef-
feet of Americas aid. of which L
clearly foresaw the full magnitude.
This American aid is today a reanty.
I rejoice to see that America is ready
for an effort as great and as pro-
longed as will be necessary. 1t is a
certain guarantee of our common vic
tory" -
Former Premier viviani's contribu-
ton is tribute to President Wilson,
that great man of silence who adds
acuteness of observation to rapfdity."
He adds: History, which sparkles with
SO many names, will not show one more
glorious to future generations than that
of President WILSON,
Capt. Tardieu gives statistics telling
what America has done in men and in
finance and in feeding the entente ma
tons. At the end of last year the cap
tain wrote, the stock of gasoline in
France was falling rapidly and unless
something was done the battles of the
spring would have to begin under a
heavy handicap. From December on
ward the United States put at the dis
posal of France $4,000 tons of tank
ships and helped France over the crisis.

himself" he muttered. In another
minute he would have been out on
the bank If he had he would have

Reddy chuckled. Il wonder how he
came to wake up so suddenly. Well,
I don't mind. I didn't expect to get
him the very first time. I'll call few
times and after while, he'll forget
all about who I am
Promptly at the appointed time the
next evening Reddy appeared on the
bank of the Smiling Pool. From the
shadow of the Big Rock Jerry Musk
rat was watching for him. He tried
watching for Reddy. but he was.
And if Reddy hadn't come Jerry
would have been disappointed. AS it
was he swan out quite as if he was

just as pleasant as he had the night

PRUNE RECIPES.

If raisins, figs and dates should have
an important part in the wartime
diet, then prunes should have a still
more important place, for, owing TO
the fact that they are product on
our own land and make less OF tax
on transportation facilities, they nave
advanced less in price than otner
dried fruit mentioned, and therefore
offer greater inducements Tor the
economical housewife.
Once, of course, we thought OF
prunes only as stewed prunes, anu
stewed prunes suggested to most OF
us supper in an orphan asylum or
some similar institution, where long
lines of bowls, each containing rev
anemic prunes swimming is a watery
sirup, presented the only dessert nVe
nights out of the seven.
But prunes have risen enormously
in the hierarchy of foods. They are
prepared with far greater SKIN ana
come to US full of richness and flavor,
suggesting a hundred palatable ways
of preparation for the table. SteWed
with strip, requiring only a nttle
additional sugar, they offer real
delicacy for the breakfast table, and
there are many ways of using them
for puddings and other desserts that
make the best use of their delicate
flavor.
A very nice prune pudding can be
made in this way: Remove the pits
from half pound of prunes that have
been soaked twelve hours. Fill but
tered baking dish with alternate
slices of prunes and buttered stale
bread, having layer of the bread on
top. Now make mixture of one egg,
a pinch of salt. an eighth of cup OF
sugar and a cup of milk. Pour over
the pudding and bake slowly for an
