ser the Hound. OF course, instantly
Bowser started after him. Now
Reddy was leading Bowser straight
TO the place where this stranger had
left his footprints and scent.
When he reached this place Reddy
put his nose to the ground and began
to follow the strangers track. He
chuckled when he heard the extra
roar of BoWScr'S voice as BowSer'S S
wonderful nose picked up the doubly
strong scent. Everything was work
ing out just as Reddy wanted it to.
The next thing to be done was to get
off that trail without leaving any
scent of his own. so that BowSer
would so right on, following the scent
of the stranger Reddy was quite sure
he would be able to do it without
much trouble. 1t was a trick he had
worked "A great many times.
Reddy ran lightly'and swiftly along,
following the trail of the stranger.
BY and by, just ahead of him, he saw
an old tree trunk, and he hoped the
strangers trail would lead close TO
that trunk 1t did. 1t led just eX-
actly where Reddy had hoped it
would.
The end of that trunk was just a
few feet to one side. Reddy made a
long jump and lightly landed on the
free trunk. Then he ran swiftly along
this to the other end, where he stop
ped and turned to watch what would
happen. In a moment BowSer the
hound Came In sight. He was run.

H. B. P. Is Not So Bad.

A Finnish physician, r. Ehrstrom
tells the world, in F'inska Lakares-

meters high. is not SO bad. He Tor for

20 patients whose syStolic pressure

tions all along.
When apprehension thigh blood pres
sure) begins at SO and lasts 20 years,
the patient has surpassed the average
life expectancy and ought not to
worry much about blood pressure.
DR.. Ehrstrom believes the chances
are about even as to whether high
blood pressure means shortening OF
life or not. Even when 1t is asso
ciated with impairment of the heart
Ehrstrom has observed long tolerance
and unexpected remissions.
There is one point in reference to

in the individual case a history of

Summing up DR.. Ehrstrom arrives
at a conclusion which 1 believe most
good doctors in America have also
reached in regard to the question OF
blood pressure. Ehrstrom says: THE
fact that patient has hypertensior
does not justify us in frightening him
merely on account Of the high blood
pressure"
There is much more in that thar

various sorts. Trim off crusts and cut
across diagonally. These will not be
perfect fools caps in shape, but suf'
ficiently near to resemble them. Some
of the sandwiches should be minus
filling to accent the April fool idea.
Fool Pickles.
Cut off the sides of large cucumber
pickles in strips sufficiently thick to
leave each inner part an obtuse tri'
angle. Slice across into thin pieces.
Cut a number of pieces from citron,
having them identical in shape and
mix with the pickles in the dish. Some
guests will get fool pieces of pickle
among the real ones.
FOOLS Cap Cakes.
Cut thin cake baked in sheet
pan so that the pieces are wedge or
fools cap shaped. Frost. Sprinkle the
tops of some of the cakes lightly with
fine salt or with saleratus. so that oc-
casionally seme one bites into a fool
cake that is not eatable. Do not have
many of these cakes, but a few makes
every one on guard lest he finds his
not right. which adds to the amuse-
ment of all.
Cones for Fools Caps.
Ice cream cones are just the things
for fools cap ices. Invert filled cones
so that they stand upright on plates
to accent the resemblance. AS 1t Is
not easy to take the cones up, another
element of fun is introduced. If you
cannot get cones. the ices can easily
be cut to resemble fools caps. FOOLS
fudge can be cut into wedgeshaped
picese, but the fooling is caused by the
hostesses having occasionally subsi'
tuted little wads of absorbent cotton
for some of the nuts.
