he discovered that even high in the
air as the two great birds were, there
was & distinct difference. Mrs. Killer
was noticeably larger than Killer.
Also, her wings were different. Killer S
wings were narrower, enough differ
ent from those Of his mate to distin-
guish him even at a great height.
After a while both birds disappeared.
Then Farmer Browns Boy began his
upward climb again Almost at once
he heard the screams of the Duck
Hawks, and again he saw them in the
air. He knew that their keen eyes
had discovered him the moment he
moved.
It was slow work and hard work
climbing up toward the foot of those
lodges. At last he reached a place
where he could look along the entire
face of the cliff. The hawks were
still in the air. He sat down and
remained motionless. BY and by Mrs.
Duck Hawk, still screaming, flew over
to a jutting bit of rock on the base
Of the cliff and perched there. Later
she was Joined by Killer himself.
Still Farmer Browns Boy did not
move. After a while Mrs. Duck
Hawk flew out, circled two or three
times and finally dropped down on
tiny ledge of rock and disappeared.
Then all was quiet. Farmer Browns
Boy knew then that on that tiny
ledge, which really was nothing but a
little shelf, the nest would be found.
His heart gave bound. That little
shelf looked as if it might be climbed
to, and this was more than he had
expected:

Story of the U. S. A

Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman
and Robert r. Livingston. q
NEW YORK. June %, 1776.-"The
unhappy fate of Thomas Hickey, exc
cuted this day June 2S) for mutiny,
sedition and treachery, the general
hopes will be a warning to every sol
der in the Army to avoid those
crimes, and all others so disgraceful
to the character Of soldier and per-
nicious to his country"
This entry in Gen. Washington
orderly bosk records the closing Incl
dent in a Widespread Tory plot. the
object of which was to capture and
imprison the general, assassinate sew
eral of his officers, blow up the powder
magazines and demoralize the ARMY
of the continent.
Hickey was member of the gen
erals personal bodyguard. He was
hanged in the sight of 10000 persons.
He had made a complete confession,
pleading as his excuse that he wished
to gain favor with Tryon in order to
be assured of friendly treatment when
the British capture New York.
The conspiracy had been directed,
it is believed, by William Tryon,
former British governor, and Mayor
Matthews, though declaring himself
guiltless, is known to have been impli-
Gated. A ma ority Of the suspects are
Long Island Tories. They had eX-
pected to spring their trap upon the
arrival of the British army, now on
it's way to this city.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. c. T. writes: my baby girl is
bottle fed, having been reared from
weeks old on cows milk and
granulated sugar. She weighs %
pounds now at months, and has six
teeth. She has been getting cereals.
fruits, vegetables and cod liver oil
occasionally, but not regularly. Her
legs are slightly bowed. Do you think
they will straighten of themselves?
Her eyes are crossed. and a well
known specialist prescribed glasses
for her. Do you think they will help?
She has been wearing them about a
month now and l see no improve
ment."
Answer-The baby's diet is excel
lent and her weight is fine, also the
number of her teeth. If she had had
no cod liver oil regularly, l would give
1t to her. though 1 imagine her bowed
legs are just the usual Blowing"
found In all children. To prevent any
trouble when she begins to walk, and
any possibility of ricketts,, add cod liver
oil to her diet and feed other foods
regularly.
She Is so very young to wear glasses
that l think it hardly possible to tell
yet If they will have much effect. A
month is too short q time to judge as
to that. 1t may be possible that she
viii have to wear glasses for several
years. especially when she is older,
before you see any real change. There
should be an Improvement from wear
ing glasses though.
Mrs. w. w. K.--A baby 911s months
old can take the formula you are Civ
ing very nicely. and by year should
nave all of the water taken from the
formula and also the sugar. He will
get his carbohydrates in the form of
cereal, vegetables and bread from now
on. He can have from three to four
tablespoons of cereal twice a day at
year of age. and two or three table
spoons of sieved vegetables at his =
O'Clock feeding. He can take from 6
to ounces of undiluted milk four
times daily. AS long as you use bot
ties at all be sure they are sterilized.

Clues to Character
No Consideration for Others.
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.

There is type of man whom ii
would be-vain to try to reason with.
Force is the only argument he knows:
get in his way and he will walk over
you, rough shod.
In money matters he is grasping
and he will be cunning, although he
will fight, If crowded. to attain his
selfish purposes. He will smash OBJ
Atacles, and ruthlessly tear down,
with no consideration for injuries he
might infiict upon others, such OBJ
structions as he may encounter
An undue degree of selfishness is
indicative of an undeveloped nature.
This trait is both inherited and ac-
quired. increased by use, and in ex-
cess causes unhappiness to it's pos
SCISSOR. The most selfish people are
never the happiest. They cut them
selves off from everything pleasur-
able and enjoyable.
This type is intensely practical, un.
imaginative and cares little for the
beautiful things of life. He is un-
emotional, inclines toward material
rather than spiritual things He
seeks solid, substantial reward for his
work, and is not interested in better
ing the condition of human beings.
You will know him by a broadness
between the ears. both below and
above the eyes. particularly below
coupled with a fullness just back OF
the temples, "a heavy jaw. low brow
and thin nostrils.

very suspicious opportunity for the
launching of any enterprise of i'm
portance. 1t is, however, an excel

mental inventory, and there will be
an abundance of hind sight that
should serve as a foundation for the
building up of foresight. In the even

come critical not only of others but
of yourself. In order to overcome
this atmosphere it will be necessary to
seek relaxation in the form of light
and amusing recreation.
Children born tomorrow will, during
infancy, enjoy eXuberant health and,
by their vigor and strength, will de-
light those who love them. In their
teens they will show signs Of weak

Congenital Hip Disease.

When the late apostle of "bloodless
surgery" for congenital hip disease
introduced himself and his method of
treatment to this country he made a
great contribution to science and hu-.
mainly and that is acknowledged by
the name which is now everywhere
applied to this method of treatment
the LorenZ method. Not even the
perennial recrudescence of the author
of the treatment or his grand annual
farewell tour-in the provinces-can
rob him of the fame he has earned
or the gratitude of the thousands of
sufferers who have benefited through
the IOrenZ method if not from the
personal skill of the author.
Granting that DR.. LOrenZ has ac
quired great skill in the bloodlesS re-
duction of congenital dislocation of
the hip, there is no doubt that a thou
sand American orthopedic surgeons
have at least as great skill in this
method as DR.. LorenZ himself or any
of his associates in Europe or Amer
lea. ] do not mean to detract from
the greatness of the man or his work,
but merely to encourage those who
may imagine that this man alone can
do something for a deformed child.

ity is only a type of a condition which
attends the natural inclination of the
newspaper to be enterprising in the
printing of big or sensational stories.
Very often it is some remarkable
new cancer cure or wonderful
new tuberculosis cure'-and such
stories are worse by far than any of
the stuff that has been printed about
DIR. Lorenz, for it is indeed cruel to
raise the hopes of the despairing only
to dash them down again a little
later.
In congenital hip disease the hip
is not dislocated when the child is
born, but there is a delayed or re-
tarded development of the head of
the thigh bone (femur) and of the
socket or cup of the hip bone, so that
the head OF the femur tends to slide
out of the shallow socket. The treat
ment of the defect consists of ma
nipulation and retention of the thigh
bone in a position which will tend to
keep the head of the bone in the cup
or socket or in the place where the
cup or socket will subsequently form.

BEAUTY CHATS
Some Dieting Rules.

| wish | could persuade those of my
readers who want to reduce that 1t
isn't a difficult or very complicated
process, and that if they will only re-
member a few simple rules they can
successfully cut down their weight
to any amount they wish.
Rule / Is a bromide. You can't get
fat on what you don't eat. If you
had to fast for month, for instance,
you would be thin at the end of the
time no matter how fat you were be-
fore.
The size of the stomach has a great
deal to do with the desire for food.
AS you diet the size of your stomach
will reduce, lit will positively shrink,
and as it becomes smaller and the
layers of fat over it are absorbed
it will not demand so much food.
The first few days of diet are al
ways the most difficult, so rule is
start your dieting by a fast, and for
one or two days try to go entirely
without food. You can drink as much
water, hot or cold, as you wish. Ii
YOU haven't the moral courage for
that drink skim milk at lunch, din
ner and bedtime and black coffee for
breakfast. But as the fasting shrinks
the stomach subsequent dieting will
be much easier as the result of it.
Rule 8 Is to make your diet as
LIQUID as possible. BY that, / mean
that when you grow hungry between
meals. as a<reSult of less food dur
