 In many cases these positions have been found as bad as standing all day. Whenever possible. the feet should rest on the floor. This relieves much strain and prevents many deformites.

 At last Johnnie Green followed Cuffy into a corner and reached out a hand to seize him.
 Cuffy Bear struck out bravely. He caught Johnnie's coat sleeve and tore a great slit in it.
 Look out. Johnnie" yelled Farmer Green. Don't let him claw you! Just stand there and head him off. .'
 In another moment he and the hired man leaped forward and stood one on each side of Johnnie. The

Health of Working Women.

It used to be said that mans work was from sun to sun, which wa! surely bad enough, but a women! work was never done, which wa! much worse. Many working girls and women often feel that this is quite true when they return home at night after hard, tiresome day in the mill or factory. Many women in the modern industrial world are piece workers.
 The great speed, deftness and swiftness of these women workers has enabled them to almost take pos session of many occupations which do not require much muscular strength Ofttimes this class of labor requires bent shoulders and half stopping posture together with a lowered or dropping head and bad focusing of vision.
 Medical Profession Alarmed.
 The medical profession has for cern the evils and bad effects on the physique of working women in mo- notous and rapid labor. The prin- cipal defects produced in this class of women workers are, under-devel- opment, abdominal diseases tubercu- losis and faulty vision. Such posi- tions interfere with proper breathing and lack of chest developments
 The ribs and enclosed organs are forced down upon the abdomen and displacement frequently occurs in the abdominal organs. Worse than this is the results such bending and pos ture has on digestion and partial re- tarding of material passing through the intestines. This brings abnormal fatigue. that weary, tired feeling, nervousness and constipation.

TWO MEN, A BOY AND A BEAR.
 Farmer Green suddenly turned around and grinned.
 e Its a cub" he told his son. John- nie and the hired man. "A little fel- low! We can catch him easily enough. Come in quick and shut the door"
 Johnnie and the hired man leaned their weapons against the side of the sugar houes and slipped into the building, behind Farmer Green.
 And then there was scramble.
 Cuffy Bear soon proved that he was very spry at dodging. All around the great room they chased him. Once Farmer Green tossed a loop of his rope over Cuffy's head. And then Farmer Green stepped on one end of

 For a few moments Johnnie stared at the captive. Then he turned to his father.
 Can I lead him home ?'' he asked. Farmer Green shook his head.
 You'd never get him home that way" he told Johnnie. Hes never been taught to lead. We'll have to carry him. It's lucky he's so little" Well" said Johnnie Green, draw ing a deep breath. he's the biggest bear I ever owned"

The Keen Question Mother Graham
 Asked Jim

Katherine and l promptly obeyed my mother-in-law's suggestion to hasten the dinner. I only waited to observe with seeming casualness;
 Better keep good hot fire, Mother, so that Junior won't get chilled again."
 Her response was what l expected,
 When I need your advice, Mar garet, how to care for child, I'll ask you. The fire is plenty hot"
 What's the idea, Machiavelli?" Katherine asked softly when we were safely in the kitchen. Your old ruse of Peggy please go to Cork l sup pose"
 Exactly" I returned with a whim- sical smile. If had asked her not to have the room so warm, she would have piled the logs on. But now she'll keep it low, and Junior won't get overloaded"
 ''Wise lady," Katherine returned with chuckle. Now, what about dinner? Mrs. Ticer is here, you know"
 T know full we'll" I said with a weary little smile, for l have faced the problem many times before.
 Mrs. Ticer, as neighbor must be asked to the dinner table with - us when she assists us in a days clean ing. This makes Katie furious, and also .displeases my somewhat snobbish mother-in-law. It aways creates a strained feeling at any time, and I feared that under the present circum- stances with everyone's nerves dan grously keyed up. something might snap.
 ''You Don't Tell Me!
 Couldn't we get Mrs. Ticer's din- ner first on the pretext that she may have to go home at any time?" Kath- crime asked.
 That might do,' I returned du- btously, for repeated experience with the problem had made me a pessi- mist concerning any solution of it. Mrs. Ticer has very keen perceptions, however, and am afraid"
 You don't tell me-" came a drawl- ing masculine voice from the kitchen porch outside, and for a. panic-stricken second l thought that the words in Sam Ticer's unmistakable accents were ironically addressed to me. Then as heard Jim's voice in answer. realized thankfully that my reference to my neighbor had not been over heard.
 There's your solution. I fancy" Katherine said in rapid undertone. They're probably ravenous riding around all this time with the troop CTS Why not fix dinner for the three Ticers at once? Then afterwards you and oMther Graham and I can cat, while Jim and Katie serve themselves in the kitchen?"
 "Go to the head of the class, and pass me those pans of biscuits from the ice chest" I retorted on my knees before the oven door. This gauge is just right now for the biscuits, and if we flax around as Mrs. Ticer says, we, can have dinner on the table,
 Mother Graham is Pleased
 "'Before vun leetle sheep can shake ! he-es leetle tail vunce,'' Katherine | quoted Katie with laugh provoking | fidelity, as she handed me the biscuits. How about the scalloped potatoes?" tested them meticulously.
 They'll be just right when the | biscuits are done," I answered. The kitchen door opened and Jim | ushered in the Ticers, father and son. | Both were almost bursting with ex- but while Jerry was ready to | give exuberant voice to his feelings, | his father was true to his native tra- l

1 she refers, but I am sure. my deal Mir. Prescott, if you could see her and hear her grief-stricken accents, you would feel as I do, that she is wom- an who has been hurt by somethine or some one, almost beyond her limit of either spiritual or physical en- durance.
 l hope you will not think I am in- truding in writing you this letter, but your dear mother has been such a friend to me and l find in her such a wealth of straightforward princi- pies and unf1aggdng zeal for right living, that r count myself fortunate in being able to spend more or less of my time with her. I do not want to make Mrs. Prescott, Jr. envious, but I cannot help writing you my feelings in this regard.
 Your mother seems to be very much concerned about finances. tSurely you know, MT. Prescott. l would not refer to this to you, almost perfect stranger. were I not in turn so concerned about your mothers health.) She has only been able put a quarter as much as usual into her savings account at the bank, and it has preyed upon her mind greatly. especially as she seems to feel that even this amount must be further depleted by the payment of a com paratively small bill to the man who painted her house.
 l took the liberty of telling her that l knew you did not understand about it that you were not heartless nor thoughtless. even though you had married a modern girl or rather a girl with all the modern tendencies toward excitement and frivolous liv- irg.
 l did this because I have come to the slow but sure conclusion that. unless something can be done to clear up this misunderstanding between you and your mother. you will not have her in the land of living long.
 Will you pelase receive my kindest inquiries as to the state Of Mrs. Pres cctt's health and believe me always
 Yours very truly.

 For the last few days she has re- fused all food except the breast of chicken or some other dainty morsel with which I have tried to tempt her appetite. I have begged and begged her to assuage her unhappiness with tears, but she has not wept at all.
 She says very little except in short exclamation like, How could he do 1t! Has he no regard for his mother :? I cannot understand it!" etc., etc.
