Piled as it passed,
Such an eager look as there was
in his eyes. He was sure that Mr..
and Mrs. Grouse were Just behind
that pile of brush. He hadn't a
doubt Of It. He looked to see which
would be the best way to surprise
them. He meant to creep around
until he got within jumping distance
and then suddenly spring out and
catch Mr.. Grouse. Mrs Grouse
couldn't fly. so she would run All
he would have to do then would be
TO follow her and catch her. SO
Reddy set his mind on catching Mr..
Grouse.
You should have seen him when
he began to creep around that brush
pile. If he had been walking on
eggs he couldn't have put his feet
down any more carefully. Con-
tinually he tested the wind. His
eyes We're fixed Just ahead. He
looked neither to right nor left
The nearer he got the more slowly
he moved, but the more eager he
became. He almost trembled with
cagerness. His hindfeet were ready

Your Health
How to Keep 1t
Causes of Illness
BY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and OF Hy-
gcia, the Health Magazine.

| There are about so mouth washes
on the market. all more or less alike
| in their composition, all sold with
I special claims as to their virtues in
preventing disease.
In most instances the antiseptic
powers are due to small amounts of
| alcohol in them, perhaps to boric
acid or various other antiseptics.
Actually the antiscptics act on
bacteria only for the brief moments
when they come into actual contact
with them. BY the very nature of
human contacts the mouth receives
new bacteria with each breath.
Normal Gums.
The dentist cures serious fnfec-
etions by applying substances. IN
strengths sufficient to be germicidal,
directly to the spot after the pus is
evacuated. The normal gums and
teeth need no antiseptics Here SIM
pie cleansing washes are quite suffi-
cient.
| Human nature seems to demand
and to enjoy mouth wash that Is
| pleasantly favored. Manufacturers
use peppermint, pleasant oils, lemon
or orange for this purpose, but the
! flavor must be recognized merely for
what it is and not for any special
healing virtues.
If chewing gum has any real use
it is in cleansing the mouth by pick
I To- ! H., I,
and exciting a flow of saliva.
Some mouth washes contain other
, astringment substances in addition to
alcohol. These have the virtues of
contracting the gum tissue, or har-
dening it. However, the normal blood
supply of the tissues Of the mouth
is exceptionally rich and the effects
are quite temporary.
Alkaline Washes.
Alkaline mouth washes frequently
are urged for condition called acid
mouth. Some dental authorities urge
acid mouth washes as being better
for getting rid of the accumulated
mucin on the teeth.
All sorts of tests are suggested to
patients for determining whether or
not they have acid mouth or alkaline
mouth. The facts are that health
full mouth, one that feels all right
and is without odor. needs only a
simple rinsing with water after the
use of the tooth brush
But if person feels more pleasant
wash. why not have it--just so he
is under no illusion as to its viz
tues?

Now he could see around that
pile of brush. Sure enough. there
was Mr.. Grouse. He was close 10
that little pile of brush. and Reddy
hadn't a doubt in the world that
Mrs. Grouse was underneath it. The

his hindfeet under him and set
them for quick. long spring. At
that very instant Chatterer the red
squirrel, looking down from the
safety of a tree close by, shrieked
at the tip OF his lungs. "Reddy
Fox, Reddy Fox! Reddy Fox!'
At the first note from Chatterer's
throat two things happened. They
happened right together. Reddy
Fox jumped, and Mr.. Grouse
jumped. Reddy Fox landed right
exactly where Mr. Grouse had been;
and at the same time that Reddy
landed there, Mr.. Grouse landed
on the branch OF tree far out Of
Reddy's reach. Such a bitter dis
appointment. Reddy had been so
sure OF Mr.. Grouse, and it hadn't
seemed possible to him that he
could fail to catch him. But in a
flash, some of the bitterness disap
peared. and he thought that any
way he would have Mrs. Grouse.
She couldn't fly and therefore she
must be hiding under that pile of
brush.

The next story: Where Was Mrs.
Grouse?"
New Britain herald., 1926-11-19

Swiftly. silently, eagerly, Reddy
Fox was moving through the Green
Forest. with his nose to the ground
most of the time. Had you been
near enough. you might have seen a
little drop of water fall from his
tongue now when he stopped to
look and listen. You see, his mouth
was watering with anticipation and
eagerness. He was so sure that he
was going to have grouse dinner
that he could almost taste 1t al
ready.
The scent of grouse grew stronger,
That meant to Reddy that he was
getting nearer lie knew that it
was the scent of Mr.. Grouse. but he
felt sure that Mrs. Grouse was with
him, and that when he found one
he'd find both. He even dared hope
that he would catch both. He felt
sure Of catching Mrs. Grouse. for
had she not been shot by the hunter
with terrible gun? He hoped that
Mr.. Grouse would be so taken up
VIII LOOKING AFTER Mrs. Grouse that
he would not discover his danger
until it was too late.
Presently Reddy stopped with
suddenness. A merry little breeze
had come along and tickled his
nose with the scent Of grouse just
ahead. Also. that merry little
breeze had brought Just the faintest
of faint sounds. the rustling of
leaves just back Of pile of brush,
which was almost directly ahead of
Reddy. Reddy froze. That means
that he stood perfectly still. The
only thing about Reddy that moved
at all WAS the hair on his back.

No Trimming is Necessary When
Both the Dull and Shiny Sides
OF Satin Crepe are Used.
Both the

Satin crepe. one of the smartest
of the new materials, is desira Bile
for its practical qualities. If the two
sides of the fabric are used-both
the dull and shiny surfaces-no 9TH
er type OF trimming is required.
Frocks treated in this manner make
delightful costumes for semi formal
afternoon occasions.
Sketched today is a very wear
able little model of satin crepe in
a light tan shade. The bodice of
the dress Is made of the duh side of
the fabric together with the deep
cuffs. The sirdle. which crosses 10
gracefully in front, and the three
tiers of the skirt reveal the satin
surface.
This frock is distinctive because
OF It's extreme simplicity. The only
bit OF contrasting ornament appears
on the bodice in the form of a shall
low yoke made of matching chiffon.
The decorative skirt is composed of
three circular tiers split in the CEN
ter front.
With this engaging model is worn
a tan felt beret trimmed with brown
gros grain ribbon.
Two outstanding features of the
new mode arc apparent In this aft
crnoon frock-the TERED skirt and
the use Of both sides of satin creme.

PHILIPPINE WOMEN
 ADOPT |. 5. PLANS
Following the Custom Of Sisters
 in America

Manila, May :, CPl-Mrs. Sofia Reyes de Neyra, wife of the former resident commissioner at Washing ton, takes much pride in being the pioneer in the work of teaching Fil- ipino women to be of service in im- proving health and sanitation con- di'ions in the Philippine Islands.
 In 1907, in conjunction with an American woman, Miss Mary F. Coleman, Mrs. de Neyra organized the first training school for nurses. Today there are nearly 1000 FiH- pino trained nurses in the islands who are distributed throughout vir- tually every province of the archi- pclago. She also has taken great interest in the organization of some 4oD women's clubs in the Philippines all of which seek to uplift the na- tive women.
 While still a young teacher she was instrumental in starting the first dormitory for girls at Bacolad, Oc- cidental Negro province.
 Mrs. de Neyra was educated in a private school in Iloilo, which for more than forty years has been con- ducted by the five sisters of the chief justice Of the Philippine su- preme court, Ramon Avencena. Her instruction at the school was en- tirely in Spanish, but in order to learn English she exchanged her Spanish for English instruction with an American teacher shortly after American occupation.

PLAN OF SYSTEMATIC
 GIVING BEING STUDIED
southern Baptists Will Have Their Annual Convention From
 May 12 To 1G.

Houston, Tex, May ' 1Pt-A plan of systematic and proportionato giv- ing to the missionary and develop ment work O. Southern Baptists IS one Of the principal subjects to come before their convention, to be held here May 2 to 16.
 Every missionary and benevolent enterprise of the denomination is greatly in need Of financial rc- sources. said an announcement, and an effort to enlist new financial re- sources probably will be launched under the direction Of the co-opera- tive program commission.
 Another matter ol interest will be proposed reduction in the number Of messengers entitled to seats in the convention each year. Means for insuring longer dcIibcration upon matters before the convention also will be considered. One pro- posed solution of this problem is that Of delegatIng larger authority to the executive committee for ad- vance consideration and report upon many ot the matters now originally presented 10 the convention itself.
 While Southern Baptists are bap- uzing more than 21o,00O converts each year, the announcement said that many Of the churches have not shared in this cvangelistic effort and therefore large emphasis will be given tO eNanao.ism.

 Already Filipino women have equality with men in everything cx- c"pt the hallot" declared Mrs. de Neyra. 'Whcn they marry they go into partnership with their hus- bands.

BYRD PLANS ID
 FOLLOW OLD ROUTE
His Trip to Parallel That Of
 Admiral P0aTy

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen. May r. Of all the exploring parties now seeking to reach the North Pole through the air, the expedition of Commander Richard E. Byrd more than any other recalls the heroic and finally successful efforts of Ad- miral Robert E. Peary.
 Byrd selected Peary Land as the key base for his attempted flights to the Pole. Then. too, the com- mander set sail from New York on April $, the anniversary date of Peary's discovery of the Pole in 1909.
 For their base, Captain RoaId Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth chose Kings Bay. while Captain George H. Wilkins decided upon Point Barrow, Alaska, neither Of which Peary ever used.
 In connection with all the expedi- tons, 1t is known that in his last years Peary believed in air craft as the best means of navigating the Arctic. Where Pcary devoted twenty-three years in reaching the Pole, any of the present expeditions may do it in a few weeks.
 Peary Land received it's name from the fact that in 1900 Peary went up its previously uneXplored coast to the northermost part of Greenland. At the end of land he named the point Cape Morris K. Jessup, at which or nearby Byrd hopes to establish his operating base.
 Peary made this march in 1893, despite the loss of all his toes when his feet were frozen. He had set out on an attempt 10 reach the Pole, but had been forced to turn back. As a result, however, he obtained information which gave important guidance in other at- tempts.
 In 1902, Peary reached eighty four degrees, seventeen minutes north the coast of Grant Land. Then in 1906, he pushed the Roosevelt through ISODFSbil Sl4A4AA4'i emu '4NiA his party worked up part of the coast of Peary Land and then headed straight for the Pole. But after weeks of marching and untold hardships, he was compelled to turn back, April 21. when only 174 miles from his goal. The successful eX- petition, in 1909, headed off the coast of Grant Land, just below Peary Land.
 The distance 10 the Pole from the point on Peary Land, from which Peary made his dash in 1906, was approximately 500 miles. Byrd plans to operate from a base more to the north, about 410 miles from his goal, but the chances are his flights will take him over some of the area Peary covered on foot i'll 1906 and 1909.
 The Wilkins party will attempt to reach the Pole and unexplored area from the far-distant Point Barrow. The Amundsen- Ellsworth group will try to fly in the dirigible Norge from Kings Bay 10 the Pole and then over the unexplored region to Point Barrow. Hence, they are not likely to cover any of the areas previously touched by Peary except at the Pole itself.
