I could hear or see no other motion

I remembered that I had struck the
path in my flight just before stopping

thick batter results. Gems, muf-
fms and cake are made from thick
batter. When three times as much
flour as liquid is used the mixture be-
comes q soft dough. The addition of
more -four than this makes a stiff
dough. Pie dough and raised bread
belong to this class. Butter and eggs
are to be included among the liquids.
The average egg contains about one
scant tablespoonful Of liquid. The rule
is to use from one and one-half to
, two level teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and one-fourth teaspoonful of
salt to each cup Of -four. The amount
of liquid is varied. according to
whether a batter or a dough is de-
sired.
The method of mixing all doughs
and batters is the same. First, sift
the -four. then mix with it all the dry
ingredients and sift again. Add the
egg, liquid and melted shortening.

Peter Finds Veery.

Peter Rabbit had spent a quiet day
in the dear Old Brier Patch. AS even
ing approached he decided to go back
to hear Melody the Wood Thrush sing
again. Just as he drew near the
Green Forest he heard from the direc-
tion of the Laughing Brook a song
which caused him to change his mind
and sent him hurrying in that direc-
ton. It was a very different song
from that Of Melody. yet If he had
never heard it before Peter would
have known that such a song could
come from no throat except that Of a
member of the Thrush family.
As he drew near those beautiful
notes seemed to ring through the
Green Forest like a bell. Ae Melody s
song filled him with the feeling of
peace. SO this song stirred in him a
feeling Of the wonderful mystery of
life. There was in 1t the very spirit
of the Green Forest. 1t didn't take
Peter long to find the singer. It was
Veery. who has been named Wilson's
Thrush, and by some folks is known
as the Tawny Thrush.
At the sound of the patter of Peters
was greeted with whistled Wheeu!
Wheeu" Then, seeing that it was no
one OF whom he need be afraid, Veery
came ont from under some ferns to
greet Peter. He was smaller than his
cousin Melody, being about one fourth
smaller than Welcome Robin. He
wore a brown coat, but it was not as
was somewhat family spotted with
brown, and below he was white. His
sides were grayish white and not
spotted like Melody's sides.
I heard you singing, and just had
to come over to see you," cried Peter
II hope you like my song." said
Veery. II love to sing just at this
hour. and love to think that other
people like to hear me-"
'They do" declared Peter most de-
cidedly. II can't imagine how any
body could fail to like to hear you.
came way over here Just to sit
awhile ana listen. Won't you sing
some more for me, veery?"
Certainly" replied veery IT
wouldn't feel that I was going to bed
right II didn't sing until dark. The
only way can express my happiness
and love Of the Green Forest and the
joy of just being back here at home is
by singing,
Veery slipped out Of sight and al
most at once his bell-like notes began
to ring through the Green Forest.
Peter sat right where he was. con-
tent to just listen and feel within
himself the Joy of being alive and
happy In the beautiful spring season
which Veery was expressing so won
derfully.
Finally from deep in the Green For

DEATHS DUE |NPART
TO RECKLESSNESS
Army Board Reports on Auto
Accident July IL, Which
Killed Six Persons.

Reckless driving and the dangerous
condition Of the road between Alex
andria and Camp Humphreys. Va.
are held to have been responsible for
the automobile accident near the
Hunting Creek bridge July IL last,
which caused the death of two ofn-
GERS and four enlisted men Of the
Army.
Findings to that effect were reached
by a board of Army officers, of which
Col. Robert P. Howell. Corps of En-
Eineers, was president. which investf-
gated the case. The report of the
board is now before Maj. Gen. P. c.
Harris, adjutant general OF the ArmSa
for such disciplinary action as may
be called for.
Patrol Driver Blamed.
According to the report Of the board.
the accident was due to the attempt
of a military police patrol wagon to
pass ahead Of an automobile truck
loaded with passengers, on the mar
row concrete road about 200 feet
south of the bridge. The patrol wag-
on struck the front wheels OF the
truck and changed its course. with
the result that the truck was forced
OF the concrete onto the steep slope
and toppled over, pinning several
passengers underneath.
The board says that a certain meas
ure of responsibility for the accident
should be attributed to the dangerous
manner In which motor vehicles are
operated on the road. Special atten-
tion is invited to the dangerous con.
dition Of the BERN along the concrete
section Of the road.

a WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
hey think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital Importance
to perform, and ii they are diseased,
there is no telling how OF where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form OF urate
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back = often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
md backache. Finally, come stone
! VI the bladder, diabetes ana bright S
disease.
/ DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, in.recent
years, discovered that certain COM
bination OF remedies would dissolve uric
acid iurate salts) in the system. He
found this combination TO be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. Ii you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking AnuriC
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he win tell You what to eat
and how to live so that more uric acic
will not form in your system. DR.. Pierc,
