it wasn't long before l was in bad
ly rundown condition. I was troubl.
ed with constipation, had no appetite
and what little / forced down would
often sour on my stomach and dis
tress me for hours afterwards. Then
at times l would have such a misery
in my left side that I could hardly
stand it, l felt tired and worn out
all the time and seldom knew what
a good nights rest was. Before this
trouble came on I had always en-
loyed such good health that this un-
usual condition worried me night
and day, and felt that if I didn't
find something soon to straighten
me out | might have breakdown Of
my system.
Everybody seemed to be talking
about Tanlac and the good it was
doing them, so I decided to try 1t.

Blackbirds saw the soldiers throw
him into the river and they followed
him to the old mill"
Peggy quickly interpreted the
Birds message.
Il know that mili," exclaimed Ben,
"the fishing is mighty good there"
Quickly they made their way down
grassy lane that led across the
swamp to the mill The soldiers
swung along at such a pace that
Peggy couldn't keep up with them.
You walk awful fast" she painted.
Cant you fly, Invisible Fairy?"
asked Ben in surprise.
"Not today" answered Peggy.
Then I'll carry you. Where are
you?" He felt around blindly for her.
and Peggy ran into his arms. He
tossed her to his shoulders, where she
chung to his rife as they hurried
along.
The lane led thruogh heavy under
growth until it came to the clearing
in which the mill stood. At the edge
of the clearing the soldiers halted.
Maybe he is armed" suggested
Ben. Wed better go carefully"
''I'll run ahead and see," volunteered
Peggy.
No, no, he may hurt you," objected
Bill.
But he can't see me-" laughed
Peggy. "Ill be safe"
That's So" agreed Ben, carefully
dropping her to the ground. But if
anything should go wrong, just shout,
and we'll be there in a second"
Peggy ran to the mill very confident
ly. If she hadn't been hidden by
Camoufage Perfume she might have
beem scared. it was so deserted and
spooky looking.
He is in the little room at the
side" said General Swallow. Peggy
crept up to the door and looked in,
There was a man sitting on a box
lacing his shoes. His clothes were
wet and on the coat was the badge OF
a 'jitney' driver. A board sqeaked
under Peggy's weight, and the man
looked up quickly. To Peggy's aston
ishment it wasn't the "jitney" driver
at all This was a very unhappy look
ing boy no older than Ben and Bill.

IN ENERAL SWALLOW quickly
" introduced his companion to
Peggy.
This is Miss Purple Swallow" he
twittered, looking at her very proud
ly. Some day l hope she will come
to our own Birdland to live"
II hope so, too," responded Peggy
who at the very first glance felt that
she liked the young lady Swallow
| Then she turned to the trouble OF Ben
and Bill. 1--WE are looking for a
'jitney' driver who is a German spy
Ben and Bill threw him into the river,
and we think he is somewhere in the
swamp now. | am wondering whether
you know the Birds around here well
enough to ask them to help find him.
ITO be sure I do" answered Miss
Purple Swallow.
"And they'd do anything for her.
Anybody would" gallantly added
General Swallow. looking at her
fondly.
There's a flock of Red-Winged
Blackbirds resorting along the river"
continued Miss Purple Swallow,
ignoring General Swallows compli-
ment. "No human could be in the
swamp without their knowing it.
Well report in jiffy."
Meet US on the edge Of the
swamp" called out Peggy as Miss
Purple Swallow and General Swallow
took wing.
Were you talking to those
Birds?" asked Ben, who had been
watching the Swallows very intently.
"Of cours Twas" replied Peggy.
They'll have all the Birds i'll the
swamp looking for the spy within a
minute"
Say, that's a splendid idea," ex-
claimed Bill. Wouldn't it be great
if we could train birds to be army
scouts and sentinels."
you have Human Birds for scouts
in France" answered Peggy, think
ing of the aviators.
AS they tramped toward the swamp
Ben and Bill explained why the dis
favor Of the captain was such a Sc
rious matter.
"We have perfect records as SOL
diers and have earned promotions"
said Ben. This kills our chance to
becoming noncommissioned officers"
"Just because we lost our tempers
and pitched that spy into the river
instead of into the guardhouse,"
groaned Bill.
They reached the edge of the
swamp just as the Swallows me
flying back.
"We've found him." they shrilled
loudly. "A man in .lue suit, all
wet and muddy"
That's him!" declared Peggy.

To Make Hairs Vanish
From Face, Neck or Arms

Keep a little powdered delatone
handy and when hairy growths ap-
pear make a paste with some of the
powder and little water, then
spread over hairy surface. After 2 or
3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and
it will be entirely free from hair or
blemish. This simple treatment is an-
failing, but care should be exercised
to be sure and get genuine delatone,
otherwise you may be disappointed.

the work at the school. They not
only built their owr houses and
school buildings. but took care OF
them. Each boy was required to
make his own bed, clean his own
room or his part of the dormitory,
even wash his own clothes. The gen.
eral policing and cleaning up OF
buildings and grounds was assigned
to the boys, each boy being in turn
placed in command of other boys to
perform specified parts of This work.
Except for the Chinese cooks and
one fireman in the central heating
plant and power house, all the labor
of the school proper was performed
by the boys. They also did the bulk
Of the agricultural labor on the ZOO
acre farm under the direction of a
farm manager.
One of the educational ideas which
DR.. Rumely brought from Germany
and put into effect at Interlaken was
that of taking groups of boys out
on long tramps over the country
side. Sometimes these pilgrimages
would cover only couple of days,
sometimes longer periods. With DR..
Rume1y and about 40 boys from In
teflaken school I went on one of
these walking trips.
Took Fifteen Mile Tramp.
We tramped from Interlaken one
Saturday afternoon to a point on
the eastern shore of Lake Michigan,
about Is miles distant, where we
camped for the night amid the sand
dunes, and the next day, after a
plunge in the lake, tramped back to
the school. AS we marched along the
dusty roadside o. DR.. Rumely talked
enthusiastically about his tramps
around Germany with parties of Ger
man schoolboys. On this. and other
occasions too, he told me of his
dream. OF the development in America
OF class of great landed proprietors
who would be the leaders and rulers
of America.
These boys, or most of them," he
said, will inherit fortunes and the
control of great enterprises. If they
are early given training in the funda-
mentals of agriculture and the habit
of outdoor life, are taught to work
with their hands, and SO be able later
to direct intelligently the work Of
others, who labor with their hands
many of them will buy large tracts Of
land and put it under cultivation with
modern methods of scientific agricul-
ture. American men of wealth are al
ready beginning to turn their eyes
back to the land. 1t is to these mel
that we must look for leadership and
l hope to see the fathers Of many of
my boys here buying great farms for
them and starting them on a solid
foundation.
Day of Small Farmer Over.
The day of the small farmer is
about over. Modern agriculture is a
big business operation and must be
financed by men of wealth"
If this sounds like strange coctrinc
tor socialist. remember that DR..
Rumely's. socialism is the German
state socialism, the scheme of things
under which a ruling class founded
upon the landed estates and control
ling the wealth and capital of the ma
ton provides, through its servants.

GERMANS SHOOT
 ALI DESERFERS
Czechs and Austrians Found Fighting With Maximalists in Ukraine
 are Promptly Executed

AMSTERDAM, March 15.-There has been intensive fighting the past few days in Ukraine, where the ranks of the Maximalists have been receiv- ing endorsements from bodies of CZechs and Austrians who have de- serted from their comands. according to a dispatch to the Rhenish Wesy Fallische Zeitung
 furious resistance on several occa- siOns from large bodies of these men. and when captured they are invar- iably executed.
 The capture of Odessa yesterday was one of the most crushing blows yet delivered to the Bolsheviki by the invaders. as 1t gives the Teutons ab- solute control of the wheat shipping ports of the Black Sea and cuts off all supplies from the Mediterranean. Germany already has control of the Baltic. and the Cuffs of Finland and Bothnia, cooping interior Russia up and forcing her to depend entirely upon her own resources.
 The railway from Ukraine to Pet rograd is in the hands of the invaders who drove long wedge into Bologoe to shut off supplies from the capital. forcing the seat of government to re- treat to Moscow and Vologda. The Bolsheviki are being slowly hemmed in from the south, east and west, and will be compelled to retreat farther into the interior. It is probable that the next move of the Bolsheviki gov ernment will be to Perm. a small pro- vince on the Karma river, in eastern Russia. hitherto used as a place of exile for political prisoners.
 The Germans have so undermined Ukraine with sedition against the Russian government that it is impos- sible for the Bolsheviki to put up united front against the invaders. At Odessa, December "A. the Ukranian troops and the Bolsheviki fought bloody battle to prevent reinforce ments being sent against the Don Cos sacks, and later the Rada refused to allow breadstuffs to be shipped to Northern Russia in consequence of the Russian government refusing to send money to pay off the Ukraine troops, which were demobilized.

THREE RAIDS
 ARE FRUSTRATED
War Office Reports Continuous She'll ing MI Along French Front
 Belgians Advance

PARIS, March 15.-The war> office reports almost continuous smelling by the enemy all along the French front. Three raids in quick succession OH the French trenches were frustrated by a heavy fire and the enemy driven back in confusion. A forward move ment on the Belgian front near Lom- baertzyde has been successful.
 Artillery duels are numerous all along the western front from Foul to Ypres. and are increasing in activity. The enemy has attempted to launch gas attacks at several points, but their projectors have been demolish- ed by allied gunfire and the troops forced back to shelter.
 The weather the past few days has been ideal, bright sunshine and blue skies adding greatly to the morale of the troops The Americans in the Toul sector are resting quietly awaiting the enemy raids which are generally broken up before reaching the en- tanglements. Raiding and patrol par ties are the order of the day, and the Americans on several occasions have advanced close enough to the German lines to reach their entanglements.
 It is expected that general assault will be delivered by the enemy with in the next few days if the present fine weather continues, and the troops are keyed up to a high state of effic- iency.

A fine mineral spring exists near Tonsina roadhouse along the govern ment trail. according to information received here recently. The waters are strongly impregnated with sul- phur and other minerals and are said to be highly medicinal. It is stated that an effort will be made to attract attention to the springs splendid therapeutic properties and that a re- sort will be built for tourists who de sire to use it's healing waters. At many points in Alaska medicinal springs have been discovered, many of them of great healing powers for certain diseases, and it is believed that the spring at Tonsina will be found to be of this class when it's waters have been analysed. A sample will be sent to government chemists by parties in terested in the near future.

SCHOOLS SPEND LARGE
 SUM FOR EQUIPMENT

The Valdez schools are reaching high state of efficiency under the man. agement of the present board, many of the old books having been retired from service on account of age and general unfitness. new blackboards added, the walls tinted, new stoves purchased, and new books substituted from the kindgarten to the twelfth grade. The old books have been used so long they were not only highly un- sanitary but positively a menace to the health of the children. and sadly out of date.
 It is estimated by the board that about $12OO has been spent the past year for new fixtures and repairs, which is a good showing in economy for the board. Valdez schools are a credit to the city, and will be- the means of bringing families here in the future for schooling for their chil- dren.
 Good schools are one asset that can not be too highly rated in the build ing up of town. and are the line of advancement marking a town from g. camp. The first question asked by g. prospective resident of a town Is in regard to the educational facilities. Schools. churches and libraries are a necessary adjunct of present day civilization. and the best that can be secured arc none too good for our children and our neighbor's children.
