remember that, and do not be a silly
goose again"
Mr.. Gander bore 1t all meekly, but
he did not forget all he was made to
bear, and one morning when the farm
er threw out a larger supply OF corn
than usual Mr.. Camden stretched his
neck and called all Of his family to
follow him down the road.
Look at those foolish geese" he
heard Mr.. Rooster telling his family

LAUGHING GEESE

Yes said a member of the Laugh
ing Goose family to Billie Brownie,
who had gone far North to call oE the
Laughing Geese. II am known as a
Laughing Goose.
But while that is one of our family
names we have another name, too.
Our other name is that of Ameri-
can White-Fronted Goose"
"How did you get your name of
Laughing Goose?" asked Billie
Brownie.
WELL" said the Laughing Goose.
'our song, or talk, or noise or what
ever you wish to call it sounds like
harsh laughter. That is how we were
given the name.
II have white forehead, you will
notice, and that is why we have the
family name of White-Fronted Geese.
''We ell have these white foreheads.
My head and body is grayish in color
with touches of black and white. Ny
feet are bright yellow and my beak is
rose-pink. I have lovely colored
beak.
my eyes are brown.

cause we belong to the American con-
tinent. But we do not come to the

Icy cold even in the summer, up in

A Dependable Family Income


Formerly in one of the southern
states the insane were not always
sent to an institution. Sometimes
they were formally awarded into the
custody of someone, usually parent
or guardian, and for the keep of
such an unfortunate the state paid
one hundred dollars a year. This
amount, in certain sections, was re-
garded as a handsome addition to the
family income.
One summer, a citizen from the
lOwlands was up in the hill country
Of his native state taking title to
coal lands for an eastern syndicate
In canoe, with native to guide
him, he was proceeding along creek
that penetrated into one of the wild
est and most desolate recesses of the
mountains.
They came to homestead that was
infinitely better looking than any they
had seen for days. The house was
Of clapboards instead of the custom
airy logs, and it was painted. The
fences were stout and newly white
washed. The stock in the barn lot
had a well-nourished look.
who lives here?" inquired the
stranger
The guide told him.
Judging by the looks of his place."
said the lowlander, "he must be a
forehanded man,
He certainly u.s." said the native.
He's forehanded, but he's had a
sight of luck in his time, too. He's
got leven children and all of 'em is
ijiots."

RICKETS

DICKETS, or rhachitis, is the result
- OF bad nutrition, affects all the
tissues of the body, and chiefly leaves
its mark on the bones-which 1t soft
ems and then deforms.
1t usually occurs before the third
year, but the bone deformities appear
later.
1t is caused by food which is not
assimilated, but also by neglect Of the
skin, bad air, insufficient sleep, etc.
The children Of the poor have 1t, but
so do those Of the rich. In this coun-
try 1t is common among negroes and
Italians, but not among Irish or Ger
mans.
In the great European cities one
sees it everywhere. The urine of
rhachitic children contains phosphates
in abundance and the bones, being de-
ficient in lime, bend and break easily.
Rhachitic children have soft spots
in the bones Of the skull; and the
membranous portions Of the skull,
where you notice throbbing anG pulsa-
ton in an infant, and which ought to
harden during the first few months of
life, remain soft.
All the bones Of the skull, instead of
being firmly united. are loose and ee
lily moved
The face of a rhachitic baby is
small, and the head seems dispropor-
tionately large.
The liver, spleen and Emphatic
glands are enlarged, the muscles soft,
and the ligaments weak.
The child's appetite may be good, he
may even seem voraciously hungry,
but his food doesn't appear to nourish
him, he becomes fretful. gets diarrhea
and this alternates with constipation.
He is sensitive, cries when touched.
his diarrhea is offensive, the appear
ance of his teeth is delayed, and when
they break out, they are irregular and
of poor quality.
When he begins to walk, the weak
ness of the bones of the legs becomes
apparent and they bend or break
easily; the joints are weak and he
falls frequently.
When he tries to move himself
with his arms, the arm bones bend
or break and there may be an OUT
ward hump on the spine.
On the ends of the ribs there arc
knobs or bead-like structures, the
breast bone projects and the child
becomes pigeon breasted.
The pelvis may become deformed
and, in females, this has a very i'm
portant bearing upon the successful
delivery of offspring, If impregnation
should ever occur,
Rhachitic children are frequently
bow-legged, knock-kneed or flat-foot-
ed: they are also sensitive to bro.
chitis and Group, and die from these
diseases more frequently than children
who have better physical develop
ment.
If they reach maturity, they are
short and poorly formed and their
limbs often reveal the marks of early
disease.
Rhachitic children should be taken
to the mountains or seashore, If posi-
BILE, and should have abundance Of
good plain food which they can as
similate-which will be indicated by
the change in their stools and in their
general nNtritinn.
Fats in the form of ec6-llve- oil,
or olive oil, should be given them ;
also as much of eggs, milk and cereals
as they can dispose Of. Treatment
with mechanical apparatus is impor-
tant to prevent deformities, and they

WISE Mr.. GANDER

old MIR. GANDER had suffered
many things In the barnyard
from Handsome Mr.. Rooster and his
FAMILY. They called Mr.. Camden a
goose and all his family silly geese
VINO were all very stupid.
Mr. Rooster always crowed louder
when tn geese were around and strut
tea about showing his beautiful tail
feathers for them to admire.
de even went so far as to say In
the hearing Of Mr. Camden, to some Of
his family, Don't be a goose, Mrs.

field and was chased by Mr. Fox.

leave the barnyard unless I go with

Ocean Temperature

Temperatures Of the ocean vary
from 20 degrees at the tropics to the
icy temperature of the poles, says the
London Daily Mail. The hottest sea
water is to be found at the equator.
At depth of 700 feet, however, the
ocean, even in the tropics, is extremely
cold. This icy water has drifted down
from the poles, spreading it's chilling
effect over the entire sea. In the low
est depths the temperature is very
close to the freezing point, and coca,
siOnally goes beyond it

Worlds Oldest Forest

A hundred million years ago ma1.y
millions of years before man himself
appeared on the earth, there grew a
forest near what is now Gilboa, N. Y.
DR.. John M. Clarke, New York state
geologist and paleontologist, pro-
nounced this grove the oldest known
forest. He has resurrected it from the
remains in the rocks, and he finds
these ancient trees to have been much
like modern tree ferns, probably at

AS you grow older, you will find

more of his time year after year.-E.
