there ought to be a lot Of stuff he

So he went out in search of bar

lot of good and make them much
easier to get along with.
Before we approach a line nearer
the limit of our space let me now
postulate the principle that an aver
age daily ration of six miles of oxy-
gen on the hoof is by all odds the
best preventive and the least satis-
factory cure for obesity in general.
Ladies and gentlemen of too much
substance and leisure should have a
thought how they feed, yes, but if
they want to stay happy and young
they've simply got to perambulate, for
hiking is the best all around exer-
else there is available daily in every
season and all weather. A good six
miles OF 1t, pedometered. insures the
absorption of an amount of oxygen
ample to prevent all ordinary degrees
Of autointoxication.
Walking Is too dangerous and too
expensive for many who need it most.
Whoever thinks so must resign him
self to the doubtful qualification of
such other kinds of exercise as he
may feel he can afford. Everybody
must decide for himself how much his
own life. health or happiness, or what
may remain of them, are worth To
him, and choose his course accord
ingly. / believe that six miles of oxy-
gen on the hoof is very cheap medi-
cine at all costs; as rule the less one
feels he can afford 1t the more rood
he derives from the medicine.
Although suitable exercise in fair
doses Is about the best preyentive
against obesity, the remedy is not a
cure; so my advice is walk it Off be-
fore 1t gets you.

Danny forgot where he was. He
thought of nothing but filing his
stomach with this splendid food. He
was greedy. Yes, sir, Danny Meadow
Mouse was greedy. He didn't even
think of Nanny Meadow Mouse.
AT last he could eat no more. and
still there was plenty left. Then Dam
ny thought of Nanny. He knew he
wouldn't be able to induce her to
come over there.
good food" said he to himself II
wont tell her where l got it. I'll say
l found it, but l won't say where
found it.
So Danny took a piece of bread
crust in his mouth and climbed out
OF the man-bird. Back home to the
old scarecrow he hurried. He wonder
ed if Nanny had missed him. He
wasn't there. Danny chuckled. Then
he left the piece of crust just out
side the doorway and curled up in
side for nap. He was tired.
He was awakened by the return
of Nanny Meadow Mouse. He heard
He knew what she was doing. He
knew that she was smelling of that
piece of crust He chuckled down
inside. He knew that crust would
smell Just as good to her as it had
smelled to him and that she would
nibble it. He knew that once she
had nibbled it she wouldn't be able
to resist finishing it.
Danny waited and pretended to be
asleep. After what seemed a long
time Nanny Meadow Mouse came in
Where did you get that splendid
food?" she demanded, for she knew
very well that Danny wasn't asleep.
IT found it," said Danny.
II suppose you did," retorted Nam
ny. Where did you find it?"
"Oh, I just found It," replied DAN
ny, and that Is all he would say
Nanny teased and teased, but Dam
ny wouldn't tell her where he had
found that crust.
WELL" said she at last. I'm glad
you found it. 1 hope you can find
some more. But, whatever you do,
keep away from that man-bird."
Danny chuckled, but he took care
that Nanny shouldn't hear him
chuckle. Then he curled up again
for his interrupted nap.
