Efficiency Of Hadassah Medical
 Organization Is Lauded

Jerusalem, Jan. 27.-The effici- ency of the Hadassah Medical or ganization, an American Jewish womens' association, Is praised in the annual report of the Palestine governments department of health. The part played by the Hadassah in disqualification is attested to by the statement that "of the 21,000 pa tients treated his year in all the non-governmentai hospitals, one- third was treated in the Hadassah." |"
 The Hadassah Medical organiza- tion, the creation of the Women's Zionist organization of America, de- rives about one-fourth of its s450,- 900 yearly budget from the Pales- tine Foundation fund.
 Speaking of infant welfare, the report states: "The drop-of- milk scheme in Jerusalem has been merged into the health welfare cen- ters, which the Hadassah Medical organization is conducting on mod ern lines under the direction of well trained and experienced personnel. The Hadassah has opecd several new centers in Jerusalem and extended the work to other towns during the course of the year. It has also es- tabllshed the six months course of training for graduate prospective nurses who wish to qualify in health welfare work"
 In the chapter on the mortality rate the report points to the fact that "as a result of the activities of the infant welfare stations in Jerusa- lem the proportion of deaths among babies in 1922 was 140 per 1000 births, as compared with 15O in 1921-1922."
 Appreciation Is expressed of the activities of another American or ganization, tho Anti-Malarial Re- search unit, financed by the Joint Distribution committee of New York.
 "The anti-malaria wsrk accom- pished by the research unit has been of the greatest valuc," the d. rector of health states, "and it's re- suits are already apparent in the dis appearance or great diminution of primary malaria in the Jewish col onies, both new and old, In Palcs- tine" ;

4 LOST APPETITE
By Thornton ". Burgess

Sometimes when appetites are lost Youll find the reason in the cost.
 Billy Mink.
 Probably had Billy Mink not stopped to talk with Peter Rabbit he wouldn't have thought at that time of Rattles the kingiisher and he fact that probably Rattles had babies in his nest. But having thought of them, Billy couldn't get them out of his mind. He had been living on fish so long that he was beginning to get hungry for some other food, and the very thought of tender young Kinghshor made his mouth water.
 Now, Billy know just where the nest of Rattles the kingiisher was. Billy is apt 10 know things of that kind. He makes it his business to know them. When he had first dis covered that nest he had decided that 1t wouldn't be worth trying 10 get to until there were young birds in it. You see, he knew that unless he were very. very fortunate, he would be likely to have a few pain full reminders that he had no busi- ness there.
 Leaving Peter Rabbit, Billy swan swiftly the length of the Smiling Pool and 8 little way down the Laughing Brook below the Smiling Pool. At this point there was a sandy bank. It was a high bank He looked up. There, just little below the top of the bank, was hole, It was the entrance to the nest of Rat ties the kingfsher. Billy knew be- cause he had seen Rattles and Mrs. Rattles go in and out. Far down the Laughing Brook Billy heard the sharp, rattling voice of Mrs. King fisher. Instantly he darted out of sight in a. little bunch of weeds. He saw Mrs. kingtisher coming just above the water, He saw right away that she had a small fish in her bill. She swung right up and disap- peared in that hole in the bank. She didn't even stop to look around, It was clear that she was in g. hurry. Billy grinned. Then he chuckled. Babies" he muttered. Babies.
New Britain herald., 1925-07-27

And just about the right size, or she wouldn't be taking in a fish like that for them"
 While Billy remained there watch- ing he grew hungrier and hungrier. It seemed to him that Mrs. King fisher never would come out. But at last she did and flew off to try to catch another fish. Billy looked all around hastily, He saw nothing of Rattles, and by this time Mrs, King fisher was out Of sight. Then he started 10 scramble up that sandy bank
 He saw Mrs Kipghshcr coming just
 above the water
 Now, it is bad enough 10 try to climb very steep bank, anyway. But when that bank is of sliding sand it is one of the most discour- aging things l know of. It seemed to Billy that for every foot he went up he slipped back two. Of course, it wasn't as bad as this Slowly. a little at a time, he did gain. l}ut 1t was hard climbing and it vas slow work, and Billy was in q hurry. The sand got up his nose and he didn't like it.
 But at last Billy's little forera ws caught on the edge of that hole, and he started to pull himself up. His nose had told him that deep in that bank were young kingtishers. His mouth Watered. Without any warn- ing, just as he was drawing him self up to that hole, something sharp and hard struck him on the side. Almost at the same instant he was struck from the other side. My. how it hurt, It was as If something burning hot had touched him. Billy cried out and let go Over and oyer he went down that bank, clear to the bottom, and after him shot Rat ties the Kingfsher and Mrs. King fisher,
 Billy almost turned back somer-' sault in his hurry to get into the Smiling Pool. He had lost his appeA tite, He didn't feel the least bit hun grv. Young Kingfshers heli out no temptations for him. All he cared about was getting into that water and out of sight.
