EASY TO REGAIN
LOST Weight
After Sickness Do Not Do What
This Local Man Did.
MUST BE CAREFUL

How easily a person may become

back to work too soon is told below
and how to overcome such danger

tality and weight is also told. Read
this Washington mans statement,
just as he wrote il himself:

weeks. and after getting up and going
out for two weeks I was taken down
with the quincy and a very bad sore
throat which laid me up in bed for
me and ] lost about twenty pounds
and my blood was so thin. according
to the doctor. that / must take a
tonic.
"I asked the druggist what was the
best tonic made. and he said 'Hy-
po-Cod.' so / used il, and ] want to
recommend it now 10 everybody. II

hurry. In just a few days / was up
and around the house and WAS soon
back to work feeling ss/strong as I
wanted to. 1t cleared my lungs. drove
out that heaviness about my head and
kidneys and I'm now in fine condi-
tion. So whenever l want something
to build myself up I'll surely take
Earle's Hypo-Cod. for it is the best
tonic 1 have ever taken in my life.' q
writes Mr.. Harry Moore, Washington,

by building yourself up quickly with

are pcnnlless and unhappy. Too
late We find out that the wisest
plan would have been to give a
thought to the morrow on every day
of our journey through life.
So l want to advise you. my
dear. to be provident. Save money.
Don't be penurious. but save money
and invest it wisely. And make
friends. Friends are the greatest
asset in the world, ! believe. The
humble person who was your friend
yesterday is the big person OF to-
morrow and is still your friend
and willing to give you a helping
hand If you need it.
This may sound rather sordid,
Vera. to take this view of friends.
but it's a fact that the individual
with the most influential friends
gets on the best in the world and
has the best time, too. Friends
not only make life more cheerful
from day to day as we go through
the world but are the solace of old
age-they are like fellow stock
holders in the busines of life who
have gone through tolls and vicis-
situdes and prosperous times with
us.
Make friends. Vera. and keep
them and save money. By doing
these two things you will be giving
that very necessary thought to the
morrow which we should all give
to it.
Your devoted mother,
KITTY.

SUNRISE STORIES
UNCLE WIGGILY AND The
WOODPILE-
ny HOWARD r.. GARIS.
fCopyright. 1919. The Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)

| 1t was Thanksgiving Day. and
Uncle Wiggily Longears. the bunny
rabbit gentleman. was asleep in an
easy chair in his hollow stump
bungalow. Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, his muskrat lady house
keeper. had gotten up a fine
Thanksgiving dinner. and Uncle
wiggily always went to sleep after
dinner.
Late in the afternoon Uncle Wig
gily went out to the yard to get
wood to build the Ore for tea.
The bunny gentleman was flling
the basket at the woodpile. when
all of a sudden. Ire heard a noise as
the corner OF the hollow stump
bungalow.
So Uncle wiggiiy hid down be-
hind the pile of criss-crossed
sticks, and surely enough. it was
the bad old Pipsisewah!
Then the bunny remembered how
when a little boy rabbit, he used to
build up a sort of log cabin, by
placing corncobs one on the other
until he had made a small house
Working quickly and silently
Uncle Wiggily built up, near the
woodpile. a little house. He built
| it right up around himself. as he
stood there. and finally he had the
walls of it so high that he was
quite hidden. even his tall ears.
! Nurse Jane. in the bungalow. was
ready to start the fire.
II wonder what's keeping Wig
gyo" she said. Opening the door
she called: "Oh. Uncle Wiggily!
Come in to supperw
He isn't out here, or I'd have
seen him." cried the Pip. And
do you mean to say he isn't in the
bungalow, either? Oh, where i.
he?"
Here am" cried the bunny.
With that he reached his paw over
the top of his little house, which
had no roof on 1t, and he threw a
big. sharp chip at the Pipsisewah.
1t struck the bad chap on the nose
and made tears come into his eyes
And when his eyes were full of
tears the Pip couldn't see out of
them hardly at all. And Uncle
Wiggily knew this.
Here l am," cried the bunny,
but you can't catch mew And
into the house he ran from the
woodp1le. with the basket of chips
Then Uncle Wiggily quickly
closed and locked the bungalow
door so the Pip couldnH get in
and the bunny and Nurse Jane had
a good cup of tea. The Pip went
away. more hungry than ever, and
Mr.. Longears was very glad he
had learned how to make the little
log cabins when he was a boy rab-
bit.

around so fast that they make thu

Toy Airplanes And
A Bean-Shooter

Boys are constantly getting
themselves in trouble by singing
stones at bald heads and window
panes. If it is simply desire to
shoot that prompts them, the air
plane singer will cause them as
much pleasure and fewer spank
ings.
The wings are made of fan
shaped tough paper, supported by
light metal stays. They are folded
up close to the body of the plane
before the plane is placed in its
sling. When the boy shoots, the
plane, with its wings folded, flies
high in the air. 1t sometimes
reaches height of one hundred
feet.
Not until it has reached the high
est point in its fight do the wings
open Then a spring forces them
out, and the plane glides gracefully
to earth in wide spirals frequently
landing almost at the shooters
feet.-POpular Science Monthly.
