 But Bobby didn't quit threatening to fight whoever came near. You see he couldn't understand what Farmer Browns Boy said, which was too bad because it would have lifted great load from his mind. So he didn't have the least doubt that these were enemies and they intended to kill him. He didn't believe he had the least chance in the world to escape. but he bravely intended to fight the very best he could just the same. And this shows that Bobby possessed the right kind of a spirit. It shows that he wasn't a quit ter. Furthermore, there was something wrong with Bobby. Though no one knew it but himself. he had been badly hurt when that tree fell. The fact is one of Bobby's legs had been broken, yet in spite of this he meant to fight Yes, sir. in spite of broken leg he had

Precaution Will Control Cold In Spring
N pR. lIILIAN WHITNEY

n URING March winter fingers ir
 the lap of spring." Weather con rditions are so unstable as to make this month the most unpleasant one of the entire year. The high, penetrating winds have disastrous effect upon the throat and bronchial tubes. Unless the greatest care is used to protect yourself from taking cold, an ordinary attack only too often develops into serious disease. Physicians are usually busiest with pneumonia cases during this treacherous month. while their offices are filled with shifting. coughing pa tients suffering from lesser evils such as sore throats, cold on the chest, nasal catarrh, and so on..
 Most of us can ward off these ail- ments with a few precautionary meas ures. faithfully carried out. Now. dwellers in great cities who are forced to long waits for trains in underground o: overhead railways frequently contract severe colds because they become chilled to the marrow in drafty subways and on exposed elevated stations. If you } are forced to use this means of trans portation clothe your neither limbs Tn such a manner that the cold air can not penetrate your garments ana cnlli you through and through.
 The American craze for haste IS re- sponsible for many disasters. not the least of them being ruined health and beauty. Health lies at the foundation of all comeliness, of all success, of all happiness. What is also of great inn portance, sickness is expensive. Even a slight illness costs most of us more than Nre can afford. So beware of the penetrating winds of March.
 If YOU can walk to business. do so. It will repay you in health and good looks q thousand fold. If you can not, take a little more time and use warmer surface car.
 Women who do not go to business are equally neglectful of themselves. When shopping, theatregoing. bridge playing, visiting, is it not far better to leave home a little earlier and ride comfortably to your destination, instead of letting the time go by. then making . frantic effort to get there by the quickest possible route?
 Tn hurrying you become overheated. You then stand or sit in drafty places waiting for your train. What hap pens, if you are the least susceptible to changes in temperature: And who, in this country, is not?
 There is another reason why sors throats and similar ailments are so common among us. We muffle our necks in high-standing collars and fur pieces. I believe in protection, but do not believe in weakening an organ as delicate as the throat for the sake of fashion.
 When the winds blow and the storms rage, by all means keep warm. but to incase the neck in fur on a sunny day, summer and winter, is foolish in the extreme.
 Those who are inclined to irritation of the throat, to an annoying hack upon the slightest exposure, can over, come this weakness by bathing the neck night and morning with cold salt water.

MARY SpROTTSE

One of the most remarkable charac- ters known throughout the United States during the early part of the nine teenth century was Mary Sprouse, who was born in Albemarle. county, Vir- ginia, in 1739, and at an early age developed the gift of clairvoyancy. Her gift first attracted attention when the guessing games of her fellow pupils in the little country schoolhouse were set at naught. As she grew into young maidenhood this gift developed without any special effort on her part and soon her fame spread throughout the sur rounding territory and then through the country. It is greatly to her credit that she never accepted any fees for per forming her feats of clairvoyancy and she never went into the business of "forecasting the future" On the con trary, she raised vegetables and poultry and sold these at the market in Chariot tesville, making the daily trip on foot, even when she was at very advanced age.
