 You see, when Peter remembered that 1t was q certain kind. of tree that Paddy was lookingfor it popped into that funny little head of his that here was q chance for him to be Of some use. He might help Paddy the Beaver. Why not? He could got around a great deal faster than Pad Gy could. so why shouldn't he have a look around for popular trees? No sooner did tho idea pop into his head than off he went, lippcrty-lip- perty-lip, as fast as his legs could take him. He didn't tell Paddy what he was going to do. He didn't even say good by.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

By DIR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General, |. $, Public

 Health Service.
 The infections diseases are dis cases caused by micro organisms or germs or by some higher type of parasite, The various injecting or ganisms have q special tendency 10 lodge in certain tissues, organs, or IparIs of the body and thus tend to Irroducc their characteristic symp- ,tms and IesioEs
 In order to infect another person these organisms must leave the body They generally are thrown oft hy some of the sccretions or eXcrcljonS of the body, or are carried by such Iageuts as biting insects. However, some persons who receive the infect ing agents of certain diseases may mot have any. or perhaps only very slight ill effects from il; but they may harbor the germ and throw IL off.
 1 Others, on recovering from an al- Itack of one uC the infectious diseases, may continue for some time 10 throw off it's germ. These persons may he a menace to others. such persons arc known as carriers.
 There is one group Of diseases characterized by the presence Of the 'inTeciins agent in the sCcrrtions from the mouth, nosF and throat There is abundant evidence that in Ithis group are included the ordinary common cold, measles, Whooping cough, humps. scarlet fever, dlph' thcria. influenza, pneumonia, cere. bro. spinal mcuingrtis, and tubercu losis.
 Most Of these diseases Are ecncr 'ally more prevalent in the winter having a tendency 10 attack th' .young.
 We all know that children are in cIined 10 a number Of habits whicl facilitate the transfer from one i' Itno other of tho secrctious from thi .part of tho body. such as the passiuI IaIound of "au-day suckrrs,' apples |rhaUing gum and tho tendency f soil the hands, drinking vessels, an other ulcnsils with these sccretton'
 As far as udults are concerned the same thing is liable 10 occu through the uso of common towels drinking vessels and dishes ina have not been thoroughly clean" .with scalding water, and throuE 0o,hcr similar habits ono can SC the danger also from carelcssness 'rxpcctorating and not properly dis posing Of this eNCrction.
 one can also see that person whose hands are soilcd with thcs .srcrctions and who handle milk, C other foods or drinks. may rradil contaminatr such articles and thr br the means of spreading the dis ,asps 10 others,
 Another Ggoup Of diseases
 spread largely by the eNcr'J 'Jior rom the alimcntary canal In in group arc included typhoid tovc .paratyphoid fever. certain intoStint diseases of infancy and tho HarioI forms of dysenicry, and cholcr
 These diseases have a tendency 10 |
 especially prevalent in the summ' time and in warm climates. Gene. lally speaking. the warm and VI

weather facilitates the survival, null tiplication and diffusion of the in- Cecting agent outside of the human body.
 Flies and other insects which have access to sewage can also contani- nate water, milk, and other food @uMs, if care is not taken 10 protect such articles. In recent years great progress has been made in the rr- d"ction of this class of diseases through insuring to the community of pure water supply and proper system of disposal of sewage and l through efforts made 10 eradicate flies and other insects,
 This group of diseases Is also characterized 10 a great extent by tho prcSnnco of healthy carriers. While they have no symptoms of the disease, they harbor these organisms 1 fer some time and are q sourCs of danger to others In the case Of ly- i phoid fever they may be carriers for years. Such persons arc an especial monaco when they work as miikers and in diaries, kitchens. restaurants and at like occupations.
 There is another group of diseases that is spread by biting insects and cspccaiIly important are the diseases spread by the mosquito. Malaria dcnguc and yellow fever are spreaC by mosquitoes, The malaria mos quito breeds, generally speaking, il small streams, ponds and pools while the mosquito that spreads dcnguc and yellow fever, lives in cis terms, water barrels, lin cans and va rious other reCcptaclrs that contain water around the houses If on' lives in community where mos quitocs are prevalent, houses anc beds should be screened. It is cs pecially important in all those dis
 cases that the sick he propcrl,

Lee Chow Drills His Co-Workcrs in
 Making Quick Change

Ah"Nih9 'G''N" N''''1E
 Lillian first broke the astomshrl silence which followed Leo ChoW's proposal that we practice changing the license plates on his ear until the feat could be accomplished in ono minute.
 Each of us must know just what she has to do," she said hriskly, and in as maticr-of-iact a manner as if the proposal Was part ol her everyday routine. Lee ChoW yon take a watch and tim" ug, and give each one of us our orders.'
 My wondcrmcut increased. So the Chinese, formerly Hugh Grant lands faithful cmpIoye and now by his own voition in my service, was to have no part in this labor but was 10 direct while We did the work, But I senscd something vital behind the apparently ridiculous perform ance, and waited quietly for my di- rections.
 There was no delay in receiving them. Lee Chow threw open the right hand rear door of his car and indicated the pocket with a gesture of his hand.
 Lee Chow's Instructions
 "Scrcw drivers and little hammer In this pocket" he intonod, "all same. screw driver and little ham, mer in other pocket" he gesticulated toward the other rear door. "Mis, see Graham and ll' boss lady, y,"---ht bowed 10 me and to Marion. please take screw drivers; Mis.see Under. wood and lil' boss man." his bow! now were for Lillian and Junior ''please take lil' hammer and plaie' from Missee Grahams car. Missed Graham and lil'. boss man worl front plate Lee Chow's car; lil' bos lady and Missee Underwood worl back plate. Missee Graham and Til boss man and Missee Underwood hold screws, everything,
 "When Lee Chow's plates off Missee Underwood and lil' boss man take quick. throw in car, han Missee Graham plates, hold plate while Mssee Graham and lil' bos lady put on. Ev'body savvy?"
 "Oh! yes. Lee Chow" Mario caroled, her voice trembling with ox citement, and I comprehended wit smile that the performance to he young girl mind smacked of story book adventure,
 "Oh, yes, Lee Chow" Junior par roted dutifully, and I nodded CT couragingly to the Oriental, as di Lillian.
 q can can teach him. I am sure, l said, and for the next half hou we diligently practiccd changing th license plates. Lee Chow cvidcntl had planned the task some time b, fore, for the screws were well oilC and came off easily. l was cspeCia ly proud Of my small son who, aft some difficulty in grasping what w. wanted of him, learned to hand and receive the different articles :; quickly as any of Us, carrying hin self the while with a gravity thi showed he believed the respOnsibi ity of the whole task rested upc his young shoulders

 So Paddy went on roaming about and getting farther and farther rom the Laughing Brook. It made him nervous Supposing old Man Coyote or Yowlcrthc Bob Cat should happen along and find him so far from watcr Well, he would put up the best fight he could. That would rbc all he could do. He did feel most uncomfortable so far from tho safety of water. A rus'ling in the bushes and ithe pat pat Of hurrying feet made himpause and listen anXiOusly. Out from among some tall ferns burst IPcter Rabbit quite out of breath.
 "Ive found them!" he cried.

 Every evening after that, the bear occupied his place before the hearth leaving early In the morning before the sisters or their mother arose. He was a good tempered animal and the sisters played with him. pulling his long, shaggy fur, romping with him, and sometimes they even beat , him with a hazel-stick. When they struck too hard he scolded them. saying that if they did not leave him his life they would never wed.
 They grew to love their strange l visitor and waited for him in the evenings. Thus 1t was that the winter passed and spring returned. The woods grew green again and the sun became warm. One morn ing the bear came to Snow White and told her that he would have to leave them and could not return all the long summerA
 "I must go to the forest and guard my treasures from the evil dwarfs," he said.
 (This is Snow. Whites sister, fRose Red. Her hair should be col- ored black and her cheeks red. She is wearing a pink slip with tan stockings and shoes.)
