 Neither can T." the poor man said. "I wonder what can be the trouble Do you think we have both grown tired ?'
 "Nope!" the hobby horse sair, T am magic and I don't grow tired! l 'spect the two witches Minga and Munga have worked magic on me-"
 And I 'spect they have worked said. 'I feel as if my legs were tired, but can't see anything wrong!"
 Maybe the witches have sent in- visible ropes and they have wrapped around our legs" the hobby horse said.
 The nice poor man felt around the legs of the hobby horse. Dear mel" he cried, There are invisible ropes around your legs!" and he took out his whiting knife and cut the invisi- ble ropes from around the legs of the hobby horse, then he cut the invisi ble ropes from around his own legs.
 Wheel" he and the hobby horse cried, as they jumped up and down. Now we shall go ahead for we must be getting close to the homes of Min ga and Munga Witch!"
 And after travelling ten minutes, they found, this was indeed true. for there were the two tumbled down shanties of the mean little creatures, Minga and Munga Witch.

How can we ever rescue Raggedy Ann from Minga the witch and Rag gdy Andy from Munga, the witch?" the nice poor man asked the magical wooden hobby horse.
 First, we must find outwhere the two witches live!" the hobby horse said. And 1t will be hard to follow them because they flew up over the tree tops on their magic flying broom sticks! But I know the two witches live back in the woods somewhere and if you will get upon my back, l will try and take you to their homes!"
 So, the nice poor man got upon the back of the hobby horse and held his legs up in the air, for he was very large and the hobby horse small, and away they went.
 When the nice poor man and the hobby horse came to any sandwich bushes they ate what they wanted and filled a basket 10 take with them.
 And when they came to an ice cream mud puddle, or a soda water fountain, they stopped and had many drinks.
 And in this way, they travelled two

 I arrived in Pittsburg this morn- ing. I never realized until now how grimy and gray and altogether un- lovely Pittsburg is. I was miserable before I left this placs to go to see you, but also my visit to you has only made me more miserable.
 You are growing away from me, Sally, all the time; l really think I was happier when Sam was alive, for at least you depended on me to help you take care of your blind hus- band, and at times you acted as though I made life little easier, 3 little brighter for you.
 At the time Of sam's death you seemed to lean on me a little, and was inordinately happy-perhaps was too happy; because poor old Sam had 10 die to make me so. I thought then that maybe in time you would grow to love me a little, but you went back to your work = and--forgot me.

Of course there are many people uho do not need as much exercise as others; and there are some who do not need as much rest; some do less than their share of work and some more.
 It is in the rebalancing of these proportions that one very important hygienic problem lies.
 The tendency of the present time is to overdo almost everything ex- cept rest. When men play they gen. orally play too much 10 "get even" for the time they have neglected playing.
 To eat our heavy meals on Sunday and our hardest playing on Satnr- day or Sunday, or during vacation period, are equally absurd.

FAILED TO CONFORM
 WITH BODY'S POLICY

Daylight Post, 229, Department of California, the American Legion, was suspended not because of It's ex- pressed views about adjusted compen- sation, but because it's membership did not conform to the legally adopted policies of the national and depart ment organizations. This is the an- nouncement made by Morgan Keaton, adjutant of the California department, who has written posts in the principal cities of the country explaining the stand of the officials.
 The post went on record as unfavor- able to passage of the adjusted con- pensation measure, and Department Commander James F. Collins prompt ly suspended the post and called for surrender of its charter until the de partment had time to act. The execu- tive committee sanctioned this act of the commander.
 Post officials have since announced that they will take their fight for re- instatement to the national organiza- lloL, DuL tHc Ildltcl Hluol III St oC Soh sidered by the department convention.
 Keaton's letter to other posts of the organization, says:
 "This suspension should not be con- fused as any attempt on the part of the State department to repxess or coerce Daylight post, or is the ques- tion or adjusted compensation in- volved; nor is the question of free speech involved; but Is simply to be clearly understood to mean that Day light post or any other post must agree to conform with the legally adopted policies of the American Le- zion or withdraw therefrom. A man or post cannot serve two masters or support two opposite causes. If Day light post wishes to oppose adjusted compensation it has that right, and it's method in doing so Is to withdraw and join those who are opposed to 1t, because the Legion fayors the adjust ed compensation as result of de- Alterations in five national conventions, and there every unit belonging to the Legion must of necessity adopt the same policy"

HAS DONE MUCH FOR
 WORLD WAR VICTIMS

Always finding time for the prob- lens of disabled ex-service men in nls state, though recognized as one of the busiest specialists in the country, Dr. William E. Lorenz, Legionnaire Of Wisconsin, has won high esteem in veterans circles.
 Doctor Lorenz' work in aid Of the World war veteran followed his serv- Ice at the front during the World war, in that most dangerous of posi- tons, head of field hospital. A field hospital Is a sorting point for wounded, and is close enough to the front to make 1t extremely precarious. It was there the Wisconsin man began to recognize what wounded men must face before they return to normal life in their own country.
 He was born in New York city in 1882 and obtained his schooling at Trinity school and New York univer- sity. During his freshman year in college, though but sixteen years of age. he enlisted in the regular army and served In the Spanish American war as a private. He received his de gree of M. D. from New York univer- slty in 1908, specializing in pathology, nervous and mental diseases. In 1914 and 1915, he served with the United States government as a special expert Investigating pellagra in the southern states.
 The Wisconsin Psychiatric institute was started by Doctor Lorenz in 1915, when he assumed the post of director of the institution, which has since de- veloped into one of the most impor- tant research departments In the state service. This led to his appoint ment as professor of nervous and mental diseases at the University of Wisconsin in 1917.
 Early in 1917 he recruited field hospital in Madison, and received a commission as lieutenant, taking con- mand of the unit in June, and was pro- noted to the rank of major. The company was designated as Field Hos- pital 127, and was attached to the Thirty-second division. While in France Doctor Lorenz developed a special system for handling wounded,

Veterans Are Urged

 Mr. Miller advises all veterans to either apply direct to the adjutant general of the army or to write the service bureau of the American Le- zion, AT Bond building, Washington, who will handle the case without charge.
