time to fill all the holes. Busters
feet were wet, but he didn't mind
this In the least. He rather likes
water. You see. he isn't like Yowler
the Bob Cat.
Clear across the length Of the dam
Just below it Buster walked. Then
/ he turned and walked back to a
point near the middle of it. He stood
up and looked all along it and over
it, His little eyes glowed rcd. YoWlcr
the Bob Cat, watching from a hid
ing place, saw this and grinned
more than ever. And he grinned still
more when Buster suddenly growled
and began tearing at that dam with
his great claws.
Now, Buster is very strong, as you
know. How he did make things fly
as he tore sticks out Of that dam
! and threw them this way and that
way! All the time he was growing
in a way quite frightful TO hear. You
lllSl4I lldNC lllpuSAI tllul hllll was
an enemy with whom he was fight
ing. In a few minutes the water be-
gan TO pour through that hole In a
solid stream. It soaked Buster, but
he didn't mind at AL. He tore and
tore at that hole. making 1t bigger
and bigger. The force OF the water
rushing through helped make 1t big
ger.
FOWLER the Bob Cat could see the
pond above the dam grow smaller
even as he watched. The waters
edge became farther and farther
away from where he was sitting,
FOWLER almost laughed right out. He
hoped Paddy the Beaver would
come and come soon. He wanted him
to arrive while Buster Bear was still
there, for he knew that Paddy would
not dare try to repair that dam
while Buster was right there.
Buster moved along and tore an
other hole In that dam. but he was
doing this Just for the fun of de-
stroying, for the water was already
too low to run out here much.
Queer, isn't II, how some folk find
pleasure in destroying things? Bus
ter Is one OF these. Perhaps it is just
that he likes to show how strong
he Is. Anyway. he is apt to tear
things to pieces for no reason
whatever excepting the fun OF doing
1t.
Az last Buster decided that he
had done enough. There" he growl-
ed. 81 guess this will teach Paddy
that he doesn't own this swamp and
that he can't turn it into a pond
without I say So"
Then Buster shuffled away TO look
for something to eat whit Vowler
fairly Rugged himseir N giee as he
waited for Paddy TO appear.
Meanwhile Paddy and his family
were enjoying a well earned rest.
They were not planning TO work
that night for they had worked all
day and they were very tired.

came from the lips OF a rotund
little man who rose from his seat
upon the veranda as we reached
the steps. II the pages Of an old
English novel had opened and the
vicar so much cherished as q favor
ite character had stepped out, sud-
denly endowed with flesh and life,
he would have been no more typical
than the delightful little old gentle
man who confronted US.
Is II Hugh's Pipe?
His plump figure as his clean
shaven chubby face radated cheeri-
ness and kindliness. That he was
unworldly, trustful as a child, and
about as capable Of coping with the
bizarre, exotic conditions of life TO-
day as a -year-old boy would
be, was as evident as that he would
be a tower OF spiritual strength and
sympathy to any bruised soul seek
ing his aid.
Lillian gave me a surreptitious
little nudge. a signal that was to
act as spokesman, and I seized my
cue promptly.
I'VE must beg your indulgence"
I said. I'VE stopped to admire
your wonderfully picturesque
church, and then remembered that
We had been directed to you as one
who could aid US in some informa-
ton we are seeking"
He stepped back pace, and an
oddly alarmed expression sprang
into his eyes.

"Concerning the probability OF our
being able to rent furnished house

answered furtively watching the
fright fade from his eyes. Then
as / began to relate the story Lee
Chow outlined, he smiled at us, and
put out hand in protecting hos

Of the silliest ideas Of this silly age
where everything is put before a

Countless babies have been born

Life has gone on. Fathers have

Your Health
How to Keep It
Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH S. CUNNING
Surgeon General, United States
Public Health Service

Dyspepsia in the first place is not
in itself disease. 1t is term
vaguely applied to a symptom or
group Of symptoms, These symp-
toms do not necessarily indicate
disease of the stomach.
There are, as a matter Of fact,
only two serious diseases of the
stomach. namely ulcer and cancer,
and neither of these diseases can be
considered common. There are
number of so-Called constitutional
diseases in which some of the symp.
toms are spoken of as dyspepsia. 1t
frequently happens that these symp-
toms exist 10 such a marked degree
as TO mask the real disease of which
they are only one manifestation.
This is especially true in many dis
eases OF other portions of the diges-
tive tract than the stomach.
The causes of dyspepsia may be
divided into two fairly well defined
classes, those which concern food
and those which concern the orFln-
ism.
II the symptom known as dyspep-
sia is connected with food 1t may be
the result OF an over indulg ence in
iindigestible articles of diet. 1t may
be caused by over eating. that is,
eating too much otherwise diEestible
land wholesome food. 1t may DO
! due 10 irregular. too frequent or toa
infrequent meals.
The thorough chewing Of food Is
very important preparatory pro-
cess to digestion. Tea, if too strong,
may be a source Of this trouble Iced
beverages may cause it. Even too
much water at meal times may
cause indigestion.
OF the causes Of dyspepsia which
concern the organism, ner, Gus in
fuenccs come first. Emotional dys-
pepsia is very common. Everyone
knows how bad news or worry will
Interfere with digestion and be fol-
lowed by distress after meal.
General weakness of the body az
fects the stomach in like degree and
weakness of the abdominal muscle;
may produce a condition where The
abdominal organs become displaced
When this takes place very obstin.
ate kind of dyspepsia sometimes re-
suits.
Adhesions Of the intestines from
old inflammatory troubles, chronic
appendicitis, floating kidney and bad
circulation, all may cause dyspepsia.
Any condition that lessons the gen
eral well-being OF the organism as a
whole may interfere with the nor,
NAL digestive processes and so give
rise 10 dyspepsia. Consumption i!
often accompanied by so-calIed
stomach trouble" in fact this may
be the only complaint made by the
patient suffering from tuberculosis
when he first seeks medical advice.
Diseases OF the heart, especially
such as cause stagnation Of blood
in the abdominal organs: Of the liver
such as is produced by alcohol, OIL
caused by gall stones; diseases o.
the intcstines, ohst ruction OF the free
passage of the bowels: chronic in
fammation OF The kidneys where TN
waste products Of The body are no
fully eliminated: tumor or inflam
nation of the cerebral membranes
may all give rise TO the symptoms
known as dyspepsia.
