 Reddy Fox, grinning to himself and thinking himself very, very smart, trotted along through the Green Forest just far enough behind Bowser the Hound to be sure that by no chance would Bowser discover that he was there. Bowser was fol- lowing a trail with that wonderful nose of his and growing more and mo excited as the trail grew fresh- CT It was the trail of the stranger who had come to the Green Forest, but Bowser thought 1t was the trail of Reddy Fox, for certainly it had the Fox smell.
 You know that Reddy Fox is very clever in fooling dogs who may be following his trail. He is very clever at fooling Bowser the Hound, all though sometimes he has hard work doing it and has to use a lot of tricks. Some of these tricks he work cd out for himself. Some he learned from Old Granny Fox. Now as he trotted along he wondered if the stranger would be smart enough to fool Bowser. IL rather pleased him when he found that the stranger had

 Luncheon-New carrot puree. toasted crackers, fig custard, milk. tea.
 Dinner - Roast veal. boiled ma caroni, beets in orange sauce, head lettuce with Thousand Island dress ing, prune whip, graham bread, milk, coffee
 Macaroni which has been carefully cooked and blanched makes a deli cious accompaniment for roast veal. The macaroni should be we'll sea- soned with salt, pepper and butter just as potatoes would be. One or two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese added during the relocating gives certain richness to the dish.
 New Carrot Puree
 Two cups milk, 1-2 cup thin cream, tablespoons butter. 2 table spoons flour. 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-s teaspoon pepper, 1-4 teaspoon onion juice, cup grated raw carrot.
 Melt butter, stir in flour and slow ly ad milk. stirring constantly. Bring to the boiling point and add cream, salt and pepper and onion juice. Bring again to the boiling point and add the grated raw carrot. Cook over hot water for ten minutes and serve.
 The carrot must be grated, not finely chopped.
 If veal or chicken stock is avail able 1t can be used in place of the milk. The stock makes rather bet ter puree than the milk but is less nourishing.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
CRY DR. HUGH S. CJMMING) Surgeon General United States
 Public Health Service

There is little to be gained from q health viewpoint by lolling in the water for several hours at a time. To obtain the beneficial effects of swim one should not remain in the water longer than 80 minutes.
 It is much better to enter the water several times daily, taking brisk rub after each swim and change into dry clothes, instead of allowing the clothing to dry on the body as some do at the seashore.
 Everyone who swims should know how to protect himself while in the water and also be familiar with life saving methods. Diving in shallow water, unnecessarily long swims be- ,yond reach of assistance and swim ming beneath. fixed objects are acts of poor judgment.
 The prone method of resuscitation, including artificial respiration known as the Shafer method. should be known by every swimmer. I'm mediate application of the principles embodied in the Shaffer method will sometimes save life even when prac- ticed by the inexperienced.
 Descriptions of these methods are available from various sources, among which may be mentioned the American Red Cross, which issues bulletins and gives practical demon stra lions of life-saving methods.
 Swimming is sport 10 be en- !couraged because of its value as eX- )ercise and diversion. The casual swlmIner soon discovers unused muscles and finds himself breathing more deeply than has been his GUS. tom. It is an exercise not limited by age, being available for the elder. ly ss well as the young, provided theY have no organic impairment and. react we'll 10 the hardy exercise involved!

tried some of the simpler tricks and had failed to fool Bowser. He knew that Bowser knew all about those tricks, and he chuckled at the idea that this stranger should think Bowser could be fooled in such simple ways.
 But by and by ahead of him he found Bowser's voice change. He be- gan to bark in an entirely different way He was barking just as he was in the habit of barking when he had driven Bobby Coon up a tree or when he had run a young Fox into a hole in the ground. Reddy recognized | it right away.
 Can 1t be that that stranger has taken to a hole in the ground or is in hollow log?" muttered Reddy. Tt sounds that way. It's hard to be- lieve that he woulds run only so short distance and let Bowser fight him in his hiding place."
 Very, very softly and carefully Reddy crept forward until where, by peeping around the trunk of a tree, he could see Bowser. Bowser was at the foot of big hemlock tree, looking up in 1t and barking with great excitement. Yes, sir, that is just what Bowser was doing. He was say ing just as plainly as if he had used words, I've got this fellow up q tree! I've got this fellow up a tree!"
 Reddy blinked both eyes. This is queer" said he. What is Bowser looking up in the top of that tree for? If I didn't know differently ] should think that he had been chas- ling Bobby Coon, and that Bobby is up in that tree. I wonder if it can be that that stranger and Bowser met Bobby Coon and Bowser forgot the stranger in the excitement oi seeing Bobby Coon? Still, there Is a different note in Bowser's voice, Ii Foxes climbed trees l should think that he had a Fox up that tree
 But that is foolish. Foxes don't climt tree. That is, they don't climb way up in trees, and Bowser is looking
 way up high"
 Reddy began to look and look
 But the braches on that hemlocl
 tree were thick, and though h. , thought he saw some one high III } in the tree, he couldn't be sure O it, So Reddy didn't know what tt think. No. sir, he didn't know wha to think. If ever there was a puzzled [ Fox that Fox was Reddy as h . watched Bowser the Hound bark l ing excitedly at the foot of the bii 9 hemlock tree.
