But outwardly I gave no jnkling that 1 considered her re- quest anything out of the ordinary

 Little Whitefoot the Woodmouse sat on the snow at the foot of the big stump in which was his homo end gazed up at a little black spot as if he couldn't believe his eyes. You see. he knew right away what that black spot was He knew that ii was the black tip of tail. More than this, he knew whose tail 1t was. That tail was hanging down from under the piece of bark that covered the entrance to Whitefoots home, and Whitefoot knew that the owner of that tail was looking into that home.
 For a moment Whitefoot sat mo- tionless and breathless. Then that tail disappeared. Whitefoot knew that the, owner was now inside his home in that hollow stump. White foot turned and ran. My. my, my, how he did run. Never in his life had he run faster. And as he ran he said over and over to himself, Shadow the Weasel, Shadow the Weasel" And every time he said this It seemed as if he jumped a little farther.
 Whitefoot knew just what he was going to do. He had planned what he would do if ever Shadow should appear, and now that Shadow was here he didn't forget. The instant that he saw that tail disappear he made for the nearest tree, so as to get that tree between him and the stump. Then he couldn't be seen if Shadow should come out to look about. And this is just what Sha- found that Whitefoot wasn't att home he came out and looked all about to see if by any chance he might be in sight. Then he went back into Whitefoot's comfortable home. He would wait there for Whitefoot to return. There was nice soft bed and 1t would be a very comfortable place to rest while he waited. Meanwhile Whitefoot, as you know. was running with all his might. There was a certain tall tree, a dead tree, for which White

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 Nursing is one of the most useful and interesting of modern profes- sions.
 The trained nurse who studies In a regular hospital training school follows regular curriculum through which she obtains much information relative to the care of the sick and much practice in actual attendance upon them.
 The better schools of nursing re- quire graduation from high school before entrance in the work; few even demand some college education.
 Qualifications
 There Is developing general opinion to the effect that two years of high school work give sufficient information to qualify a girl to take up nursing, at least to the point at which she will devote most of her time as a practical nurse in the actual care of patients.
 On the other hand. such an amount of education certainly would not fit her for the position of super intendent, nor for practice in some of the many specialties of nursing which have recently come into use.
 Among the subjects that will prove of especial value to those who pro- pose to take up nursing are biology, hygiene, chemistry, household sciences, including cookery, nutrition and house keeping, and some econo- mics.
 Correspondence Schools
 There are a number of correspond ence schools for the study of nursing. There are no state registration boards in nursing that will accept the graduates of correspondence schools as equipped to do this work.
 It is no more possible to learn the nursing care Of the sick by cor respondence than 1t is possible to learn scientific medicine by cor respondence.
 A good nurse should have an alert and an understanding mind, and should be a person of sound and careful judgment.

which served its purpose in the pioneer work Of
promoting trunk highways The necessity for
special road associations has passed Trail associa-
tions gradually going into the discard as the
state highway commissions have enlarged their
functions and become the best agents of promotion
for good highways. Rivalry between highways and
competition for traffic may still exist, but as soon
as the state maintains equally the great highways
that span the state, each community will share in
the wide movement Of traffic. Mr.. Moe has stood
for we-b balanced system of highways and ha 5
worked tirclessly toward that end
Ray S. Ashley of Plaza has taken keen interest
in highway development and stands very well in
his community He has had wide business train
ing and should prove valuable man in this post.
j. }. Ermatinger who has made a great success
with the Highway Bulletin and handling the pub
lefty of the commission, earned his promotion
through efficient discharge Of the duties allotted him.
He has had special training in office efficiency ami
public work. He served at time as a member
of the st. Paul charter commission and wrote much
Ct the charter under which st. Paul now operates.
Later he went to the Association of Commerce as
expert in municipal affairs and did considerable
work with the New York City Bureau Of Municipal
Research. Mr.. Ermatingcr has given the highway
problems deep study, and is certainly we'll equipped
for the exacting duties of secretary under the new
laws in the drawing Of which he played large
part under Gov. Sorlies direction.
A great highway program is being formulated
and under the guidance Of Gov. Sorlie, who does
not believe in disturbing the personnel of the high
way department to serve petty political ends, the
constructive work Of the past two years shcald
continue unabatcd.

In reorganizing the Highway Commission, Gov

promote men from within the department as reward

TO the commission to take Secretary Black post has
been careful and conservative executive and under
his direction real progress has been noted without
any attendant politics. Gov Sorlic early in his adj

politics in that department and that maintain the
morale and promote efficiency very few changes
were made in the personnel. Frahms appointment;
had no political significance in the first place and
