 T didn't" Katherine began con- fusedly, then her sturdy native hon. esty forced a retraction of her words.
 "Yes, l did oo." she said with shamefaced grin. But I ought to have known better. You're a square shooter my dear, and nobody knows it better than your old friend, Katrina"
 l flushed with pleasure at her words, and the warm little glow at my heart lasted all through the won- derful hour with my little lad to which he and l looked forward every day. When he was finally tucked up and sound asleep, I took up my tray and made my way to Mary's room, telling myself whimsically that if Dicky were only home to ask for the iced fruit juice beverage which l nightly prepare for him, I would be fairly well steepcd in dom esti- city for a woman who had planned Ito experiment for year with work which would demand her undivided time and attention.

Funny, isn't it, that it should be 50? But it is I know Of nothing that can travel faster than bad news. For some reason or other, people delight in passing on bed news. You would think they would take much greater delight in passing on good news, but good news travels slow ly compared with bad news. So it was that in almost no time at all it was all over the Green Meadows and through the Green Forest, and even way up in the Old Pasture, that Mrs Grouse had been killed by hunter with terrible gun
 At first, the friends of Mrs. Grouse were slow to believe it. but when they heard that Peter Rabbit had seen her shot, and had watched the hunter run to pick her up, they just naturally had to believe it. So they shook their heads and said how sad 1t was, and how they should miss Mrs. Grouse; and what a dreadful thing it was that hunters with ter rible guns should be allowed in the Green Forest.
 And the little people who lived on the Green Meadowws. when they heard the dreadful news, began tc worry. They hadn't felt it neces- sary 10 watch out for hunters with terrible guns. although it was now the hunting season. You see, they

As man approaches middle age and his body begins to lose it's pow CTS of recovery from degeneration and disease. certain symptoms may appear which must be taken as danger signals on the road of life.
 They are definite warnings to slow down. to keep to the center of the road and to avoid complications. Chief among these are obesity, high blood pressure, albumin in kidney excretions, gout, and diabetes.
 There is a tendency in persons past middle age to take on fat. All medical authorities are agreed that it is well far a person after 60 years Of age to diminish in weight. and that if he fail to do so, the deposits of fat must be regarded as a bad sign. It is we'll for the man of mid- I dle age to realize that the time 10 1 begin to take off fat is before he reaches 60.
 Fat Elderly Man The insurance companies have Hound from an investigation of their records of death that the elderly man with a large amount of fat is | likely to have shorter life eX- pectancy than the one who is lean. A large amount of fat beneath the skin probably means also great amount of fat around the heart and liver.
 A heart surrounded with fat hardly has sufficient elbow room for the extra work it. may be required to accomplish should the person become infected with pneumonia or some other disease that places an unusual burden on that organ. | The liver. which is a mass of fat. | is able to respond only with diff culty to. any unusual burden which may be placed upon it by the di- scstive tract after middle age. High blood pressure is disease condition associated frequently with intoxication of the body of various types. The person with a very high blood pressure is placing burden on his arterial system which may cause a rupture at some weakened point.
 Frequent bleeding of the nose in q person past middle age maye be symptom of high blood pressure and should not be belittled until its i'm portance is understood.
 The appearance of albumin in ex- cretions from the kidney indicates that this organ is not functioning adequately. and must be taken as warning sign. When it is the only symptom, it Is not a cause for eX- treme anxiety. but it Is always a signal for careful and complete in- ycstigation.
 Warning Signals
 Gout Is less common now than formerly. It's exact cause has not, however, yet been established. The "big toe" gout for the irascible, re- tired millionaire is now seldom seen, probably because of increasing tenn perance in both food and drink.
 When this form appears, or when the person beyond middle age has
