they reached the pond and all the young
stels walked right into the water. Fluffy
wished she was back in the nice, dry barn
yard with her mother.
"Come along, Fluffy" called Duckic, az
he followed his brothers and sisters.
ooh, she can't swim, said the Others.

Fluffy, "but / do not like to get my

"Why did you ask her, Duekie2 She can
play with us she is afraid. "
This was too much TO bear. Fluffy
walked TO the edge of the pond and put one
little foot in the cold water.
"You don't have to get your feathers
wet" said Duckie. "Iou do not need TO
dive for things. as we do; Just SWIM like

'Iike this" WAS very easy for Duckie,
because he was duck and had the right
sort of feet, but when poor little Fluffy

Duckie and his brothers and sisters
began TO swim away, for they were
frightened now at what they had done,
and if il had not been for Rover Dog
who Jumped in and saved Fluffy by pick
ing her up in his big mouth. she would
never have seen her mother again.

Ducklinrs, said Rover, "and ! thought

had gently rolled her over IN the grass

When Rover and Fluffy reached the
barnyard, Mrs. Leghorn was ciuckng

But no one had to watch Fluffy after
that. She had learned that chickens can
not swim even if ducklings can, and when
they call her 'fraidy chick, Fluffy Just
looks at their feet and they stop calling
her names.

EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, nl.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained. BY
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
" out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fne-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits: Please speak to
your druggist about this, SO that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.
