Peter Rabbit couldn't keep away from the Smiling Pool. He simply had to find out more about Jerry Muskrat's family. You see, he had discovered a baby Muskrat swim ming around, q secret the Smiling Pool had held for some time. At least. Peter was sure that 1t was q baby Muskrat, for it had looked very much like Jerry Muskrat, only much smaller.
 If there Is one, there must be more" said Peter o himself. "I don't believe Jerry Muskrat has on- ly one baby. l must see Jerry and find out"
 So all his spare time Peter spent over at the Smiling Pool. For a while 1t seemed as if Jerry Nuslrat was trying to keep out Of Peters way. If Peter saw him at all, il was at a distance. But at last one night just at dusk Peter discovered Jerry Muskrat sitting on the Big Rock. Hi there Jerry Muskrat," called Peter. Hi there, yourself. Peter Rabbit" replied Jerry Muskrat.
 Where is your family?' cried Peter
 Who says I have a family" re- torted Jerry.
 "I do," replied Peter. You've got some babies hidden away simewh"rc. I know because I've seen one of them. Where are they, Jerry?'
 With Mrs. Muskrat," retortcd Jerry. his eyes twinkling.
 Well, where is Mrs. AIuskrat?" inquired Peter.
 At home with the children, where she ought 10 be- was Jerry's reply.
 '~-, Who says I ought 10 be at home with the children?' sqeaked sharp voice, and Mrs. Jerry came swim ming out from behind the Biz Rock. Who says I ought to be at home with the children? It wouldn't do you a bit of harm to stay with them a little yourself, Jerry Musk rat'
 Jerry looked little foolish. Then he began to look a little worried.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes Of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH $. CUMMING Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service

uOAC I1GdllH CeINICe All eXpectant mothers should be under the care of a physician, ii this is possible. and should, of course, undergo a thorough physical examination.
 Examination Of the urine is Of the utmost importance. and such exam Einations should be repeated ire Iquently in order 10 detect conditions, fthe neglect of which may jeopardizc even sacrifice. the lives of both the mother and child.
 Ii the baby expected is the first one, the physical examination made by the doctor should invariably in- iclude q measurement Of the pelvis. In no other way can it be deter mined that pelvis is not reduced in size or otherwise deformed, con- lditions which make for serious trouble, and q knowledge of the ex- Iistercc Of which enables the doctor to determine beforehand the nature of the assistance he will be called Iupon to render at the critical mo- lment.
 Fccblemindcdness
 An examination of the blood should be made to detect hidden conditions which if left undetectcd might, and often do, result in dis .eascd child, child that may even be feebleminded.
 Much of our present feeblemind- edness could have been prevented, and many morons would today be useful citizens if their mothers had been properly treated for diseased conditions in time.
 Expectant mothers should have an abundance Of fresh air good plain wholesome food, daily recreation. diversified tasks that are not too taxing on her strength, adequate rest and sleep, and they should be free from worry.
 Selecting Diet
 Diet should be selected with the view of avoiding the necessity for the use of laXatives, but if the diet does not accomplish this result, then simple laxative should be taken on the advice of the physician.
 During the latter part of her eX- pectancy, the mother should see her physician, or send him a specimen of urine for examination every two weeks. She must not forget to par take freely of liquids. Drink plenty of water.
 Headache. if persistent, or if sud- den and severe. should he reported to the physician, as should also swelling of the face, hand or in creasing swelling of the ankles, should they occur. Medicine should not be taken except on the advice Of the physician.

The Wedding Table

Only the bridal party. according to strictest etiquet sits at the brides table. The parents and families of the bride and groom sit together at another. The brides cake is placed before the bride at the table and a silver knife handed her. She cuts the first piece, and the bridesmaids and ushers cut their own. The actual wedding cake, a rich fruit cake, is generally cut into small pieces and packed in small white boxes mono grammed in gold with the initials of the bridal couple, and given to the guests as they depart.
 Housekeeping takes on it's .gloomiest tinge in the summer tim" when the kitchen is hot and a breeze blows outside. The wise home maker will budget her activ- ties even as she does her income. doing only that which is really necessary for the comfort of her brood. Isobel Brands, home expert says that the average woman spends 70 per cent of her day in food preparation, IS per cent In cleaning 10 per cent in care of the children per cent on personal duties or leisure.

DROWNED
Young Man Drives Car Off
Enb ef Ferry Boat: Family
of Nine Goes Down

Newport, Aug. 3O.-Mrs Virgil
Porter, aged 70; Joe Porter, 10; Ella
Mae Porter, IS, and Nola Porter, ag-
ed six, members of family party of
nine, were drowned this morning at
o'clock at the Hinkle-Watson ferry,
two mile south of Newport, when the
Ford touring car in which they were
riding was driven off the end Of the
ferry boat and plunged into IS feet
Of water.
This afternoon, three Of the bodies,
those Of Mrs. Virgil Porter Joe Por-
ter and Ella Mae Porter had been
recovered.
Efforts are being made to find
the body of the girl, Nola.
When the car was pulled out of
the river with a derrick, bodies of
Mrs. Porter and the little girl were
found sitting upright in the car.
A few hours later the boys body
was !N,aled ao,ut 20 yards below
the ferry.
Others in the party were Charles
T. Porter, 49; his wife, Della Porter,
Al; Myrtle, eight; Virgil Porter, 21,
son Of Mr. and Mrs. Porter, and his
two-year-old baby Dorothy.
Several weeks ago, they left the
home of Mrs. Virgil Porter's mother,
Mrs. Tony Erwin, a. Prague, Okla,
and started to Walnut Ridge, near
where Mrs. Sarah Martin, mother of
Mrs. Charles Porter, resides. The
family originally was from Sullivan
county, Illinois.
Last week members of the party
secured farm employment between
Little Rock and Fort Smith and they
departed yesterday.
At l o'clock this morning they
roafhcd. thf ferry latter driving all
day and night. The elder Porter ali
ghted from the car to inquire if the
ferryman would carry his party ac-
cross.
He than motioned for his soon,
Virgil, who was driving, to come on.
Virgil drove the car onto the boat,
but did not stop. As result the ma
chine plunged into the water, with
all the occupants.
w. c. Brown, the ferryman began
at once to rescue the drowning fam
lily. Taking a pike poll, he pull Vir-
Gil out of the water onto the boat.
With a gasoline launch he succeeded
in saving all but four.
A remarkable incident occurred in
connection with the rescue of Dorthy
the little two-year-old baby. She
was found splashing in the water
with her hands and feet, apparently
swimming. The child was in the
water longer than the others who
were rescued.
VIRGIL Porter who drove the ear,
said latter that he did not know he
was approaching a ferry, nor did he
know that he was about to drive
near the river. He thought the ferry
was q detour in the highway and that
the lantern kept on the boat by the
fcryman was a highway danger sig
nal.
There was but one headlight on his
car and it she'd little light, being COW
cred with mud, and he never knew
that he was ON the boat until he
struck the water.
