Then I look for food, and sometimes
in the early morning l do my market
ing for eggs.

eggs. Some go to the market, some
go to their back yards. But / go along

sea turtles have kindly left for me.
"That is a joke. They haven't been
so kind at all. They haven't left
these eggs for me, not a bit Of it.
They do not mean that I should have
their eggs. But do you suppose I
mind a little thing like that?
mot a bit Of it. l get their eggs
whether they mean them for me or
not. That shows I'm not ii sensitive
creature, wanting to be asked and
urged If / will not have some eggs.
I just take them without any ask
ing.
They say that we're wild and dam
gerous. But we don't go after people
at all. No, though people are afraid
Of us we don't bother about them.
"We leave them quite alone. And
I'll tell you something else. We're
really rather cowardly and not in the
least ready to take dangerous chances.
"We're rather shy too. We're like
the mountain lions in this way. We're
shy as they are and also we're a bit
cowardly as they are.

is all right for some creatures to be
brave, but the Jaguar doesn't wan to

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
Ii the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this Observation-Disclosures.

JACKIE JAGUAR

"Any n who Is interested in the
ways of the Jaguar family will be glad
to hear my story" said Jackie Jag
uar.
II cannot imagine any one who
would not be interested in the story"
he continued, for to me the .Jaguar
family Is such an interesting family.
Perhaps other families feel the same
way about their family history and
that l can easily understand. But Of
course l am not much interested in the
histories of other families, though
other families interest me.
For example l like birds if they're
animals. / don't like them for friends
you understand.
Il don't invite them to supper or to
spend the night with me, though in a
way 1 do.
Il mean that / do not invite them
give them good food and lend them
my best nightgOwn.
I'm the first place l haven't any
best night-gown or any night-gown for
that matter. l do not care about such
things. l don't even bother to have
a tooth brush. Not a bit Of it.
$50, Of course, wen If l felt friendly
enough to offer visitors my best night
gown 1 wouldn't have IL best night
gown to offer them.
But l don't even offer them food.
Why? Because l do not feel generous
in that way.
81 prefer to eat them myself! Yes,
that is the way l have friends for sup
per or to spend the night. That is
the way Jackie Jaguar does. He is
sensible that way. Why should L
waste my food when | needn't do such
a thing?
~ don't! That is my answer to that
question. And why should l enter
tain them and give them a party?
81 don't! That is my answer to the
second question. l go forth %a-hunting
at night. Night is the time | enjoy.

Announcement by r. l., Board

Providence, R. L, March 22.-Formal
announcement is expected tomorrow by
the state board of mediation and conciali-
alton that it has abandoned all attempts
to settle the textile strike in Rhide Is
land and that it will take no further
steps in the situation unless requested
to by both sides
This attitude was foreshadowed today
by the statement of Chairman George
H. Webb of the state labor board, which
appointed the mediation body, that he
believed that the conciliation group
should recess for an indefinite time.
With the last possibility of a settle
meHt of the strike apparently gone for
the present, both sides appear satisfied
with the situation and willing to allow
the existing deadlock to continue. To-
morrow marks the beginning of the third
month of the waIk-out an3 survey of
the strike area shows 21 plants, employ
ing. nearly 10000 persons, closed and
10 others running wifi only a part of
their usual number of employees, be-
tween $500 and 5000 being out in those
establishments.
With the exception of minor clashes be-
tween pickets and the authorities at
three plants in Pawtucket, today passed
quietly in the strike districts.
