an anti-communist government has
been set up at Arad, Hungary, and the
belief that it has the backing of the

there but with only spiritual powers.

: An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed.
A number Of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned,
declaring the treaty is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over to gather historical, racial
and other data, and they assert that
the mass of information they handed
in has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing Of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into a proc
ess of bargaining and that Mr.. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals,
one after another, in order to put
across his main idea Of a league or
nations. According to these malcon-
tents, the settlement Of the Saar basin,
Danzig, Shantung and other problems
was all wrong, and they evidently have
no confidence that the italian muddle
will be cleared up properly and justly.

Where the WatermeIons Grow.

Melons were first extensively culti-
waited in France early in the seven
teenth century, but were known to the
ancients from the commencement of
our era. The Egyptians grew them.
They are said to have been carried
to America by Columbus, and to the
Malay archipelago by the Portuguese.
No other fruit is so variable in foliage
and habit, or undergoes so many meta
morphoses by.crossing its varieties, all
of which are fertile.
They are grown extensively in Asia,
but little care is bestowed on their
cultivation, and they consequently
never improve. They grow on sand
banks left dry by the falling river; if

be sold, but most of it is valueless, as

No rules for wafer drinking can he

thirst of the individual. according 20
DR.. John c. Hemmeter of Baltimore,
in an address at meeting of the
American Therapeutic association.
Our bodies have reservoir In
which much water is stored; this ls
in the tissues underlying the skin and
in the muscles. The blood and lymph
contain about three and half quarts
of water. In the course of u day about
two quarts of gastric juice, from one
and half to two quarts of saliva.
one and half quarts of pancreatic
juice, and intestinal juices in quanti-
ties that have been estimated vari-
ously at between two and eight quarts,
are secreted. Thus a man secreSes
altogether about eight quarts of di-
gestive juices every day; yet he has
only from three to four quarts of blood
and lymph.
The mystery of whence the water
comes and whittier it goes is solved
when we learn that the reservoirs un-
der the skin supply it and reabsorb it.
When we are thirsty it means that
the supply in the reservoirs Is run
ming low. Perspiratiou disposes of
much of this water, and by evapora-
tion keeps the body cool. Physical
work or exercise produces much heat
and If man who performs it cannot

CHAPTER III.
Prophecy and Fulfi,lment.

Then Tarzan turned his attention to
the man. He had not slain Numa to
save the negro-he had merely done it
in revenge upon the lion; but now that
he saw the old man lying helpless and
dying before him something akin to pity
touched his savage heart. He stopped
and felt of the witch-doctor's wounds
and stanched the flow of blood.
"Who are your" asked the old man
In a trembling voice.
81 am Tarzan-Tarzan of the Apes" !"
replied the ape-man and not without a
greater touch of pride than he would
have said, II am John Clayton, Lord
Greystoke."
The witch-doctor shook convulsively
and closed his eyes. When he opened
them again there was in them resig-
nationeto whatever horrible fate await
ed him at the hands of this Scared de-
mon of the woods. "Why do you not
kill me?" he asked.
"Why should 1 kill your" inquired

ranged, they are to be marked in plain
figures. Usually a woman's club or
similar organization carries these
sales through. a small per cent on the
income, above expenses, going into the
treasury. 1t is best to have only
few managers-say a committee of
three-who can give time the affair
and those who have had business ex-
perience, or are known to have exec
utive ability, should be chosen. There
are possibilities for those who sell and
those who buy in sale of this kind.
The most important thing TO remem-
ber is that clothing and house rurnish-
ings are TO be sold very cheaply. Food
stuffs will bring the market price.
Another fine practice was inaugural
ed during the war, and that was the
conversion of old, battered silver and
jewelry into bullion.
Nearly every one possesses some old
pieces that are never used and are
kept, simply because they are of pre-
cious metal or have some little senti-
mental value. Probably a good many
dollars in many communities are
wrapped up in useless trinkets. These
might better be donated by their own
ers to the first deserving cause that
comes along. In a good sized city the
donors will be able to raise a respec-
table sum on contributions they viii
never miss.

In the larger cities and in some of
the smaller cities and towns, women
have put very practical ideas into op-

the poorer members of the community,
without making them objects of char
ity. We learned during the war, when
drives were made for clothing for the
Belgians and French of the devastated
regions, that nearly everyone had
clothing that could be spared. 1t is
almost a crime 70 keep garments that
are not worn or needed. stored away

ers who really need them. Therefore
Influential women in the larger COM
munities have organized yearly sales
usually called "rummage sales" and
they contribute to these events all
kinds of c.othing-shoes, hats, gloves,
hose, underwear as well as all outer
garments The contributions include
clothing for men, women and children.
The more prosperous usually donate
outright what they can spare. 9th
ers ask that selling price be put upon
their articles and a certain per cent
of it be returned TO them.
But clothing is not all that appears
at these sales; bed coverings. furni-
ture. bric-a-brac, and all sorts of
household belongings find place at
the sale. If there is no regular wom-
ans exchange, preserves and canned

could watch the ground below and
catch with ears and nose the first in
timation of actual contact with his
quarry. Nor was 1t long before the
ape-man came upon Bara standing
alert at the edge of a moon-bathed
clearing. Noiselessly Tarzan crept
through the trees until he was directly
over the deer. In the ape-man's hand
was the long hunting knife of his IA
ther and in his heart the blood lust of
the carnivore. Just for an instant he
poised above the unsuspecting Bara
and then he launched himself down
ward upon the sleek back. The i'm
pact of his weight carried the deer to
its knees and before the animal could
regain its feet the knife had found it's
heart. AS Tarzan rose upon the body
of his kill to scream forth his hideous
victory cry into the face of the moon
the wind carried to his nostrils some
thing which froze him to statuesque
immobility and silence. His savage
eyes blazed into the direction from
which the wind had borne down the
warning to him and moment later
the grasses ut one side of the clearing
parted and Numa, the lion, strode ma
jesticaily into view. aAF
From the lips of the ape-man broke
a rumbling growl of warming. Numa
answered but he did not advance. In
stead he stood waving his tail gently
to and fro, and presently Tarzan
squatted upon his kill and cut a gen.
erous portion from hind quarter.
Numa eyed him with growing resent
ment and rage as, between mouthfuls.
the ape-man growled out his savage
warnings. Now this particular lion
had never before come In contact with
Tarzan of the Apes and he was much
mystified. Here was the appearance
and the scent of man-thing and
Numa had tasted human flesh and
learned that though not the most
palatable 1t was certainly by far
the easiest to secure, yet there was
that in the bestial growls of the
strange creature which reminded him
Of formidable antagonists and gave
him pause, while his hunger and the
odor of the hot flesh of Bara. goaded
him almost to madness. At last Numa
could stand it no longer. His tail shot
suddenly erect and at the same in
slant the wary ape-man, knowing all
too well what the signal portended,
grasped the remainder of the deer's
hind quarter between his teeth and
leaped into a nearby tree as Numa
charged him with all the speed and a
sufficient semblance of the weight of
an express train.
Tarzan's retreat was no indication
that he felt fear. Jungle life is ordered
along different lines than ours and diff
ferent standards prevail. Had Tarzan
been famished he would, doubtless,
have stood his ground and met the
lions charge. He had done the thing
before upon more than one occasion,
just as in the past he had charged
lions himself but tonight he was far
from famished and in the hind quar-
ter he had carried off with him was
more raw flesh than he could eat; yet
it was with no equanimity that he
looked down upon Numa rending the
flesh of Tarzans kill. The presump-
tion of this strange Numa must be
punished! And forthwith Tarzan set
out to make life miserable for the big
cat. Close by We're many trees bear
