the Hound nowhere to be seen. Never
would he have better chance to ma
out how big those Ducks We're and
how many there We're. Or course, ne
wouldn't try to catch one. No indeed!
He just wanted to find out about
them and see them.
SO Reddy stole around back OF
Farmer Browns barn and peeked
around the corner. \ great sense OF
disappointment swept over him. Not
Duck was to be seen. And he had
been SO sure that when he peeked
around the corner he would see those
Ducks.
"Quaek. quack. quack. quack.,
Was ever there more delightful
sound to make n Fox prick up ms
ears? Il came from around III front
of the barn. Reddy looked this way
looked that way, looked every way
He saw no one. He turned the corner
and ran swiftly along the side of the
barn until he reached the next corner
There he lay fiat down and poked
just enough of his sharp face around
the corner for good LOOK. "Quack.
quack. quack, quack." came that JOY
Gus sound again. Instantly Reddy
saw what he was looking Tor. over
just back of Farmer Browns house.
partly hidden by some bushes, white
forms were moving about. Reddy
didn't have to be told that those
white folmS We're the Ducks.
Now. wouldn't you suppose that
having found out where the Ducks
We're Reddy would have been salts
fed? You know he had been telling
himself all along that all he wanted
to know was where they were. But
now that he knew where they We're,
he couldn't be satisfied unit! he knew
just how many there We're.
Now that I am here l may as well
find out all about those Ducks" said
Reddy to himself I'm never have
better chance. One should never
miss chance to gain knowledge.
What 1 learn about these Ducks now
may be useful to me later on"
Just then the back door of Farmer
Browns house slammed. Reddy
darted back around behind the barn.
There was an opening under the
barn. Reddy crept in and hid there.
He felt quite safe. He would stay
there until the way was clear and he
could find out about those Ducks.
No thought of going home entered
his head. He had forgotten all about
going home.

Perrysburg and are not yet ready to
report finally upon it's value
DIR. Lo GraSSo says that as a rule
within two weeks after the begin
ming of heliotherapy the pain is allie
waited and the patient begins to inn
prove in all respects.
No sun bath is given within an hour
of meal time. And in midsummer
! none is given in the heat of midday.
The precise method cannot be de-
scribed here. Great precaution is
| taken to expose only a small surface
Of the body for but a few minutes
the first day and the amount of sur
face and duration of exposure are
both gradually and cautiously In
creased from day to day. On days
when there is no sun an air bath
is given instead. Great care Is taken
to protect the uncovered body from
wind or drafts of cold air OF course,
no glass can be interposed, for the
actinic or remedial effect of sun
light seems to be filtered out by
glass.

a. preventive use of sunlight by pro-
viding school buildings flooded with
sunshine and fresh air.

unfaithfulness too numerous and hor-
rid to mention. And every word Is
the cup of hemlock to the little wife
who waits and wonders.
All that those wives are telling
Mildred is being told and believed
by millions of wives in this world to-
day. It's part of the wise wife creed
and it's monstrous!
l think it's time we tried to clean
'up this cesspool in our social
thought-for it's nothing more nor
less than that. It is permeating
every walk in life. 1t underlies
nine-tenths of the marriage con
for nine-tenths of the divorces.
There is an established tradition that
husbands will be faithless IL given
the slightest opportunity and that
they must be constantly watched"
I think that tradition is a rotten lie
1 don't think any human. man or
woman. who Is in the least normal
will be faithless II given the slight
est opportunity. But l do think that
if you start in your married life with
ideas like that in your head you'll
mighty soon make the other fellow
that's coming to you.
You can't live in the same house
with a hidden evil thought and not
be affected by it any more than you
could live in the same room with
dead rat and not be aware of 1t.
That sort of sex thinking is worse
than any dead rat that ever caused
a floor to be ripped up. Cnfortu-
nately. you can't rip up peoples
skulls and get such notions out
Therefore they spread their pestf-
lence.
1t isn't decent and 1t isn't true.
Men and women can be and are true
to each other in the face Of every
sort of trouble. The woman who be-
lieves otherwise is an ignorant. evil
minded egotist. She's ignorant be-
cause she constitutes a lot of vulgar

Battle With Sunlight.

The J. n. Adam Memorial Hospital,
forty miles from Buffalo and ten
miles from Lake Erie. would not
seem to be the ideal location for the
treatment of tuberculosis, all forms.
with heliotherapy or sun baths. yet
the method has proved successful
there for several years.
DIR. Horace Lo Grasso of the hospi-
tai staff, reporting the results of this
mode of treatment at the last annual
meeting of the Medical Society Of the
State of New York. remarked that
even Roller himself. with the whole
Swiss Alps to choose from, has
weeks and months of disagreeable
weather. when the sun cure has to be
discontinued or curtailed.
DR.. Lo Grasso says solar radiation
can be successfully practiced any
where. and the results which have
been obtained at PerrySburg, N. Y,
should arouse not only the medical
profession but every municipality to
encourage the building of suitable
quarters III connection with the tu-
berculosis hospitals. where the So
called surgical cases can have the
sun treatment.
He ascribes the success at Perrys-
burg to the fact that they have
iOIlo"eu tHe 1nSCnOQ
made famous by Roller at Leysin.
Visiting various Institutions where
heliotherapy tSun bathing) was sup
posed to be used, DIR. Lo Grasso has
encountered surprising ignorance and
disregard of the fundamental princt-
pies of the method. For instance,
patients with knee joint disease were
taking the sun fully dressed, but
with the knee exposed to the sun.
The entire body must be exposed to
the sun, even though the lesion is
apparently localized.
No layman or nurse Is capable of
supervising the institution Of hello
therapy, or sun bathing, in a hos
pital or in private case without the
supervision and regular attendance
of physician who has knowledge of
the method. Much harm may be
done by amateur attempts to employ
this powerful remedy.
In the course of the sun treatment
the skin gradually tans, first bronze,
then copper and finally a chocolate
brown. AS the pigmentation in
creases the condition of the skin
itself improves, becoming soft. sup
pie and velvety and free Of any
hlemishes. The favorable progress
of the case is in direct proportion to
the intensity of the pigmenta tion,
Brunettes tan the best and make the
most rapid progress toward cure,
while the freckled and red>haired
are the backward subjects.
None of the artificial means by
wltch heliotherapy has been frnf-
tated give results comparable with
sun bathing, although they are still
