III. THE FAIRY WITH SEVEN EYES

The brown balls were sliced up. Then
ne carried the basket out and gave
1t to some boys. The boys took It to
field where trenches had been made
IN long rows. Then the boys walked
along, putting the seed-pieces into the
ground little way apart, and care
fully covering them with earth.
You see," said the Fairy, these
seed-pieces must be planted in loose.
sandy kind Of ground. They will not
grow well in clay or thick SOIL And
they must not be too close together,
either, because the plants must not
be crowded when they come up"
He seemed to be looking into the
dewdrop with all his might when, all
at once, he cried out
Look behind me on that leaf!
Quick-there is one of our worst
enemies. -
Coming along a leaf of the plant
behind him, Dolly say a bug some
thing like "lady-bug," only larger

PACIFIC BLOCKADE NOT NEW
French Writer on international Mari
time Law Was the First to Fully
Describe Ii.

Pacific blockade" is term invent
ed by Hautefeuille, the French writer
on international maritime law, to de-
scribe a blockade exercised by great
power for the purpose of bringing
pressure TO bear on weaker state
without actual war The pacific block.
ade has apparently established itself
as a legitimate means of cOercing a
weak power to observe its interna-
tional obligations without resorting TO
war for that purpose 1t Is mod
ern development and has usually been
the act of several powers acting in
concert. 1t was first employed In 1927,
when the combined fleets of Great Brit
ain, France and Russia blOckaded a
portion of the Turkish coast. More
recent Instances of It's exercise were
the blockade of Crete by the pow
ers in 1897, the blockade of Venezuelan
ports by Great Britain, Germany and
Italy in 1902 and of Turkish ports by
the powers in 1905.

LIVING Monstrosities.

Instances where living creature
appears to consist Of two similar parts
capable of a certain degree Of separate
life are cited by many authorities. 1t
is noted that this phenomenon occurs
abnOrmally and occasionally even
among human beings. Instances are
Helena and Judith, the Hungarian
sisters G701-1723). the famous Siam
csc twins (1S14-1S74), the South Caro-
lima negresses Mile and Christina,
and the Bohemian sisters, Rosalie and
Josepha.
Often the union is so much closer
that the consolidated individuals do
not survive long after birth. Among
the lower animals the phenomenon is
far more common than it is among
human beings, and it is thought pos
sble that by persistent selection and
breeding a race Of double monsters
might be established.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keeniy feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
TO starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate. which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation In the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase In weight also carries with It
a general improvement In the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom OF perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. Ii
should not. owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
