most difficult to reach. but nowhere is the walking easy, for the tiny stall agmites stick up from the floor and make one feel like they are walking over sharp stones. Washington's Monument is a huge column of marble which stands apart from the other formations and rises about seventy feet. Paradise Lost and Paradise Re gained are shown, but 1t is difficult to distinguish between the two. for both are beautiful.
 There is a hall of pillars where mar ble columns rise like those seen in the great palaces of long ago-in fact, it seems that nature must have copied this architecture from the Moors be- cause it is certain that these people never saw the caves and the room of pillars bears a striking resemblance to the Mosque at Cordova, Spain.
 All through the miles of marble one finds kiosks, galleries, vaults, viaducts, petrifed gardens and cascades. Even Adams tomb hung with stone icicles is seen in the lower cave. One domed room is especially interesting on ac- count of it's being named the Chapel by Joaquin Miller, the poet, during a visit he paid to the caves five years before his death.

 Cleaning teeth and washing faces and ears are tasks that have not been popular with young America. The budding statesman. or financier in ena- bryo was perfectly satisfied to let his teeth and his ears take care of them selves so long as he could get to school just early enough to avoid being t'k ept after because of tar6iness. But now that the Modern Health Crusade has come along. with its chances for hon Or as pages. squires. knights and knights banneret. these same young persons are more than careful to wash up and clean up daily.
 Squatty Has Fine Record
 On this particular morning. Squatty had come to school with the knowl- edge that the day before had found

that one must crawl on all fours.
 The largest cavern is said to meas ure over five hundred feet in length while it has an arched ceiling one hundred feet above. The guides have named many of these chambers and formations. This is the way of all guides and while it causes the visitor to stretch his ina girat ton many times, it really makes the place more inter esting.
 Pipe Organ
 Some of the formations in Marble Caves are well named, for instance the organ, on account of the great stalac- tites, which come down and represent the pipes of that musical instrun ent When these pipes are struck with wooden mallet the notes may be sound ed and the scales may be run. The tones are so weird that they sound uncanny to the persons who happen to be in the next chamber.
 Nearby is a wonderfully beautiful row of stalactites which hang in a row and have been named Mia gara Falls. The limestone is so white as TO resemble the purest marble. The stalactites are large. but there is a del lcate drapery about them that Teserl- bles falling water, and Niagara is con- sidered one of the beauties of the caves. It is about one hundred feet

in height and spreads across a space Of more than two hundred feet
 The Kings Palace has been so named on account Of the dainty little stalactites set about the walls in such regularity as to resemble the work of human hands. It is a spacious cham Der with a throne such as one might imagine could have been occupied by the mythologioal kings. It is formed by lagmites covered with a canopy of stalactites.
 Curious Formations
 Just back of this one looks into an opening surrounded by a curious for nation, which is in a different state of generalization from the adjoinin 2 parts. and has formed a huge hole known as the Dragons Mouth. The opening seems to have no back and it is impossible to tel! how long this par ticular dragons throat may be.
 The Bee Hive is shaped like the reg ulation oval bee hive and is formed of one huge stalactite. It is covered with tiny Jumps of limestone which one must imagine are bees in 9 swarm All about are hundreds. of. these small bits Of stone which are to be taken for insects of the bee species.

 You see squatty was putting over chore ten. He was being neat and cheerful all day. And then came the greatest of wonders.
 Gan I take bath tonight" he asked his mother.
 And he did. Making clean score for the day and completing the chores with doing number eleven
 It's easy to go around the clock with health if you know how. Mil lions of crusaders are doing it every day. And, by doing it. they are not only keeping healthy for the time be- ing, but they are writing insurance policies for good health when they grow up.
 The Health Crusade
 The Modern Health Crusade is series of national tournaments in health. It is based on the jousts held

in the time of Richard of the Lion Heart and other heroes of so long ago. The chores are the spears. By doing the chores, the school children win their honors. One hundred per cent. classes are given banners to denote their prowess in the field of the cloth of gold And so the children play a great game in which they are enthusi- astically interested, and also assure themselves good health and protect the health of their community.
 In a small city in Ohio there was only one school which had the Mod ern Health Crusade tournament last spring. Every other school felt the ravages of Spanish influenza. There was not a case in the crusading school
 The National Tuberculosis Associa- ton and 1000 affiliated organizations are sponsors for the Modern Health Crusade. The crusade is the deadly enemy of Tuberculosis, because it pro- tects the children and it is estimated that TO per cent. of all infection from tuberculosis comes in children under 16 years of age.
 At Christmas time s6.50o.0o0 worth of Red Cross Seals are to be sold throughout the country to help defeat the insidious disease. They will also go to increasing the scope of the Mod ern Health Crusade so that there may be "squatties'' who will be listed as crusaders and who will be constantly fighting tuberculosis all around the clock

him with a one hundred per cent. rec ord in his chores. He has done every one of the eleven, even to taking a full bath. His card showed his stand ing. and Squire Squatty was about ready to become Sir Knight Squatty. and, if he kept up his good work, he knew he was due to be made ''Sir Knight Baan neret" Squatty at the very next school accrIade.

 When Squatty went to. bed he had seen to it that both windows in his room were opened. wide. He slept with them that way all night and when he got up he marked his little cross in the square on his report sheet opposite rule number eight. 'I was in bed ten hours or more last night and kept my window open.''

perfectly good crosses for doing it.
 At breakfast he refused the tea his mother had on the table and SqUatty liked tea. But chore number four was to drink water at each meal and not to take coffee or tea.
 All day iong in school Squatty watched his fnger-naiIs. He nearly missed the call for recess because he had found particle of dust in his thum mh-nail. He vigorously cleaned it out, however, and while he was eating lunch with the gang. took out his chore card, and marked a cross after chore number three. He certainly was doing well.
 In the afternoon. after 9 day in which the teacher had complimented him on his alertness and eagerness. he played baseball with the gang. It was good game, and Squatty's side won But he told his father he had played out of doors for thirty minutes before he told him what the score was and in the meantime Squatty had marked up chere number seven as ac- complished.- 41'. -
 One thing there was which had been noticeable all day. Squatty had. once or twice. leaned over on his desk. But each time het-did so he strengthened up with a jerk and sat like a little ramrod. That was because chore number nine was to "sit and stand up straight at all times''
 Squatty Is Cheerful
 At supper his mother was amazed at the part in his hair and the we'll brushed shoes. She could not under stand the clean cuffs he had and there

That was simple. But it made him feel so much like a fighting cock that he observed chore number six before he went down to breakfast. Of course, he surprised his mother. She couldn' t understand why Squatty had jumped out of bed at the first call and why he had insisted in taking ten long breaths then and there. But she didn't object. And he put down a cross under chore number six. then rushed to the bath room and did chores number one, two and five before his mother had recov- cred.
 A Clean Feeling
 That morning wash was master piece. Squatty not only secured his face but he scrubbed his neck and ears. and then he cleaned his teeth with a vigor that would seem to show he was angry at them. But he had ''washed his face and hands before each meal" and had "cleaned his teeth before hraa kfa t' And he %Af TWO

 to tourists. The caves are entered by
 a circuitous byway through chambers
 of unique beauty, sculptured in lime stone that nature has left in various
 complete and incomplete stages of
 specialization. These lime deposits take many beautiful forms-massiv
 pillars. delicate stalactites of a1abaster
 whiteness with the crystal drops of
 water carrying its minute deposit of lime. from which they are form ed, and broad sheets resembling drapery with perfect curves and waves that were certainly made by varying cur rents of wind during formation.
 Must Be Seen By Candlelight
 These chambers are in tiers and are to the depth Of many hundred feet and extend for an unkn own distance into the mountain. Unfortunately one must view this beauty at present by candles or by a small electric flash. for electricity has not yet been in stalled. but it is hoped that the time is not far distant when the United States Government will add this and give the traveller a real view of the exquisite beauty of the place. for with candles it Is practically impossible to

 symmetrical 1utins.
 Streams Of Water Many small streams are found run ming at different elevations and larger bodies of running water can be heard in pits bottomless (so far as measured by three hundred foot line) Through the lower levels of the caves flows a stream of water known as the river Styx over which visitorp travel i for some distance by means of a mar 1 row foot bridge. The running water 1 probably accounts for the gust of
 wind which extinguishes the candles

 an idea of what real darkness means. | The climb to the upper cave two 1 hundred feet above the lower one is

Those who prefer to walk can purchase food at the camp and reach the caves after walk of ten miles over a good noun tain trail. It is not advisable for those who are not good walkers to try this as there are no shelters on the way and the little sign stuck On a tree by some weary tourist is good advice If you don't want to walk, don't start

A Sketch of the Beautiful Limestone Caves Hidden Away In the Siskiyou Mountains.

(OpNflght. I51J, The e1ntefn2L1onal Sy nQicdte MN KEYSTONE caves exist in many M sections of our country and are E usually very beautiful and often 6zzE l.fficult to reach. They are ire quenrly hidden away in mountains and are nearly always discovered by hunt CTS who are trailing wild creatures to their lair. This was the case when the famous Marble Caves of Oregon were discovered some years ago.
 How It Was Discovered
 Elijah Davison, one of the early set tiers was trailing wounded bear down the mountain when he came upon a queer looking hole in the mountain. He crawled into it and as he did so, found that it widened out and finally by the aid of a candle which he carried in his hunting kit, he came upon several large chambers hung with stalactites. His candle burned out and he was compelled to abandon his explorations. When he told people Of his find they paid little attention to him because the place was so isolated and it was a long time before he could interest any one enough to assist him in exploring the caves.
 At last a couple of scientists came to that section and they became inter ested and after great difficulty sue ceeded in exploring a number of chambers which they found to be large in size and exquisitely beautiful in decoration. The caves are located in peak of limestone formation which rises six thousand feet above -fhe sea level in the Siskiyou Mountains of Oregon. They are in a peak of the Greyback range that divides the head waters of the Applegate and Illinois Rivers near the orth line of CaI!for-
