PETER. HE VI bol-sb
SUCH A THING"
Johnny Chucks home. So it gave
little Mrs. Peter a shock when she
came hopping along to the heart OF
the Old Briar-patch and discovered
the yellow sand flying out Of the
doorway OF the old house there.
What does this mean" she de-
manded of Peter. who was sitting
nearby. looking on.
Johnny and Polly Chuck have
taken this old house. and they are
they might have it, replied Peter.
Taken our old house" exclaimed
Mrs. Peter. '.Wha: right have they 10
take our old house"
We'll. you see. l told Johnny Chuck
they might have it, replied Peter.
You told them they might have it.
You told them they might have our
old house! Are you crazy. Peter Rab-
bit? 1t was bad enough having them
come live on the edge of our Old
Briar-patch. Do you mean to tell me
right here in the very middle of our
Briar-patch?" sputtered little Mrs.
Peter.
Peter nodded rather sheepishly.
"They had to go somewhere, said he.
They had to have safe home tor
we don't use this old house in the
summer we could let them have it
just as we'll as not"
What is the matter with the home
they did have?" demanded Mrs. Peter
Then Peter remembered that little
Mrs. Peter knew nothing about what
had happened. and he hastened to tell
her how Reddy Fox had dug open the
Chuck home and how Johnny and
Polly and the four little Chucks had
escaped into the dear Old Briar- patch
through their secret back door

explained Peter, because Reddy or
Mrs. Fox might drop in on them any
time They had to go somewhere on

wouldn't turn those babies out to be
eaten up by Reddy Fox, would you?'
Mrs. Peter continued to sputter and
scold, but right down inside she knew
that Peter was right and that she
would have done the same thing had
she been IN his place. But she
wouldn't admit it. She made Peter
feel just as uncomfortable as she
could, and finally went off to another
part of the Old Briar-patch, leaving
Peter to wonder If he really had done
something he shouldn't have done.
Alone with her five babies, little
Mrs. Peter forgot her anger.
That was just like Peter" said she
to herself. "Of course. 1T upset me to
find the Chuck family right in the
middle of our Briar-patch, but I guess
1t was the only thing for Peter to do
I'm glad he did 1t. Perhaps the Chucks
won't be such bad neighbors, after all.

How's Your Uric Acid?
By William Brady, NJ. D.
Noted Physician and author.

Saturday I must have had a touch
Of uric acid trouble. My mind seemed
everywhere save on my work. OF
course, I am not among the first mill
lion who have been even more
gravely beguiled by the uric acid
hypothesis. Yet I have ne doubt that
wool-gathering Is listed among the
symptoms which medical romantictsts
and commercial protagonists have
nonchalantly ascribed to uric acid in
the blood. Indeed. the array OF
symptoms or effects attributed to uric
acid Is not even eclipsed by the end
less and infinite variety of ills which
imaginative souls like to accredit to
that other fascinating theory auto
intoxication. Given glib familiar
ity with the dub literature of "auto-
tntoxication." "anemia." weak nerve
force and uric acid a shrewd fell
low might easily take unto himself
cation Committee" or something
equally impressive and do a thriving
business with the gullible portion of
the populace
The old masters among them, alas!
the incompatible OsleT. harbored a
fond fancy for a kind of vague uric
acid retention, to which they gave
the name of "lithemia, or uric acid
diathesis." diathesis being a doctors S
way of saying predisposition to or
a tendency to something. This 1.-THE
mia" was a grand invention. for 1t
served as a most convenient dag
nostic scrap-heap for all the odds and
ends of minor ailments not otherwise
ticketed. AS DR.. Osler remarks in the
doctors bible" "One writer enumer-
ates not fewer than forty-one sepa-
rate morbid conditions associated
with lithemia. and one of them astig-
matism against the rule Which
sufficiently indicates Osier's skepti-
cism Of the uric acid diathesis. He
further remarks-and hope the
larly, for it is the wisdom of great
physician: a'We may say that GER
tain symptoms arise in connection
with defective food or tissue metab-
trogenous elements. Deficient oxida-
tion is probably the most essential
factor of the process this faulty
metabolism."
For the purpose of special empha-
sis, I repeat what Dr.. Osler said
deficient oxidation. defective metafo-
lism.
Metabolism isn't fair word for a
doctor to use in speaking to lay
man. Perhaps even oxidation isn't
entirely proper. Life and health de.
mend on the constant combustion OF
food. fuel. body tissue, to furnish the
energy required for muscular work
and for the functioning of all the-or-
gans. This burning Of fuel Is oxida-
ton. The technical term for the
process is metabolism. which is Greek
for change, meaning particularly
charge in the form or character OF
something, building up and tearing
one more sentence from Osler will
apprise the thoughtful reader of the
trend of this talk: "Overeatfng and
oyerdrinking, when combined with
deficient muscular exercise, lie at the
hasis of this uutritional disturbance" !"

tion you speak of.
A. G.-The only reason why your
hair has lost the wave is because of
the amount of oil you are using on
the scalp. AS soon as you stop il.
the wave will return. The kerosene
and sweet oil did not injure your hair.
as there have been many cases where
kerosene has stopped the hair from
falling out and saved the scalp from
becoming bald. There are other
treatments, however that will do this
also and not be unpleasant to handle.
NJ B.-Nine hours of sleep out of
twenty-four for an adult could be
weakening, as too much sleep causes
loss of vitality. Eight hours is the
average, but few grown people re-
Quire that much.

Shampooing Soaps.

The most important thing to re-
member when shampooing the hair is
that 1t should not be dried out too
much. The shampooing soap should
contain a large proportion of oil,
should be pure and mild and prefer
ably should contain a little antiseptic.
CASTLE soap is very good. because
1t is made from olive oil and contains
more in the way Of potash and alkali
than other soaps. Tar soap is also
very good, particularly for dark hair.
Sulphur soap. which. unfortunately,
does not smell pleasant, is excellent
for all scalp troubles
Personally. / think the best sham
pooing soap Is made by taking the
plain unscented CASTLE which comes
in long, thick bars. slicing it fine and
melting it in enough hot water to
make thin jelly. To this mixture
you can add a certain amount of
powdered flower of sulphur if you
have a great deal of dandruff, or
some olive oil if'your hair is very dry,
a very little borax or toilet water il
your hair is oily. and In either case a
certain amount of any good anti
septic.
If you use oil, three tablespoonfuls
TO a half-pint bottle are sufficient. If
you use borax, one-half ounce is
enough.
If you wish to brighten the hair.
you can add little powdered Egyp-
tian henna to this mixture in the
proportion of third henna to two
thirds soap. This gives you prac-
tically the equivalent of the henna
shampoo in powdered form, the for
mula for which often appears in these
columns.
One shampoo which is said to be
particularly good for blonde hair is
made by boiling chopped rhubarb
stalks in a little water. straining the
liquid, adding an equal amount of
bay rum and powdered CASTLE soap
