Happy Jack knew that he was being
watched, he didn't care. Whenever he
CHANGED to meet Chatterer he didn't
act in the least guilty.
Maybe ii wasn't Happy Jack" said
Chatterer to himself. "Perhaps 1t was
the big red cousin of mine, Rusty the
Fox Squirrel. l never did like that
fellow. l don't consider that he has
any business over here in the Green
Forest anyway. Neither Happy Jack
nor / asked him to come. I'll keep an
eye on him a bit and see what he Is
about The more ! think of il. the
more I am inclined to believe that II
was Rusty. He can't do anything like
that to me and get away with IT."
So Chatterer tagged along after
Rusty the Fox Squirrel until the
other got very angry. What are YOU
following me about for?" he demanded.
Il want to know what you did with
the nuts you stole from me- retorted
Chatterer.

declared Rusty.
We'll, you stole them from nv
storehouse, and that's the same

growing angrier and anglier.
II guess that's about it," retorted
Chatterer.
Then Rusty started after Chatterer
and drove him through the treetops,
each scolding and calling the other
bad names and making no end of a
fuss.
Isn't 1t lovely" cried Sammy jaw
AZ he listened. You know, there ts
nothing Sammy enjoys more than a
quarrel between other people.
Now Chatterer was too sprv for
Rusty, and after bit Rusty gave IN
chasing. Chatterer decided he was
hungry. Not far away was another
one of his storehouses. II was a small
one, in which he had tucked away
some choice beechnuts. He decided
TO slip over to II and get some OF
those choice beechnuts. But he made
sure that nobody saw him. When he
reached that little storehouse he had
a dreadful shock. For q moment IT
left him quite speechless. Then he
found his tongue and you should have
heard II go. My. my, my, my, YOU
should have heard 1t 60, You see
there wasn't a beechnut I'm that little
storehouse. Somebody had taken
them. Can you guess who 1t was?

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There seems to have been an I'M
usual number of mothers who have
written me lately telling me of having
weaned their very tiny babies, three,
five, or seven weeks old, and then
having found great difficulty in getting
an artificial food tn nourish them.
Bottle feeding has grown into such
repute within the last few years that
mothers do not hesitate long enough
before jumping to the conclusion that
If all il not going we'll the first few
weeks that bottle feeding is the
one best bet 1t isn't. At best 1t Is
only substitute.
Artificial feeding for infants can
never take the place Of breast feed
ing and one should do everything pos
sibe to make the breast feeding salts
factory before even considering a
change to the bottle.
If an infant has difficulty in digest
ing his mothers milk and evidences 1t
by restlessness and crying collie. how
much more terrible a time he Is going
to have digesting cows milk.
While we can make cows milk more
like mothers milk than any other
artificial food nevertheless the infant
must learn to tolerate what is essen

his small stomach to adjust itself to
what was not designed for 1t.
Regulating the nursing hours so
that they are never closer than three
hours apart; regulating the mother s
diet so that she gets a wholesome
menu of easily digested and nourishing
foods and at least a quart of milk a
day besides: allowing rest for the
mother and some chance for recreation
will help the mother to become a sue
cessful nurse.
Resort to the bottle should not be
had except as an addition to the breas
feeding temporarily while the mother
may be suffering with fatigue or the
worry Of caring for the new baby.
If mother would take as much
trouble to adjust the breast milk to
the needs Of her baby as she does
to adjust an artificial formula there
would he far fewer babies weaned at
the tender age of six weeks.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, January so.

While benefic aspects dominate to
morrow. according to astrology, there
are certain signs OF Ill omen.
Under this planetary rule women
will take the lead in charity and phi
lanthropy. for the Winter will develop
many opportunities to do good.
It has been prophesied frequently
by the SeerS that women were coming
to time when they must perform
great public service. and 1t is prob
able that 1927 will offer many chances
for real heroism.
There is an aspect making for clear
vision and for contemplation. but the
mind may be clouded by strange inn
pressions while this contiguration pre-
walls
There are signs presa ging for the
churches added work and broader
fields of activity.
Again the ministry will attain some
thing like the reverence that It once
comma nded, astrologers foreten, mas
much as the clergy will lead through
periods Of supreme human expe-
r1ences.
The minds Of the people now will
turn more uniformly to religion than
in recent years. the seers prognosti-
cate, for there will he tremendous soul
struggles and many human sorrows.
Service Is TO become more Of a
watChword than 1t has been since the
war, and there is to he serious reac-
ton after period of liberty Of action
that has often degenerated into H.
CenSe.
Selfishness and greed are TO be
scourged from the heart if the Nation
is to continue to lead the world in it's
peace and prosperity, astrologers
warn.
Years of the greatest test are at
hand, the seerS announce, and the
United States Is to prove how much 1t
can accomplish toward the redemp-
ton of the world from its many
troubles
While wars and rumors of wars are
disturbing Europe and Asia art Ia to
develop marvelously in this country.
The day Is not far distant, astrol-
ayers predict when travellers will
come to the United States to view
the masterpieces gathered In the gal
leries Of the Nation.
Persons whose birth date it Is have
the augury of much interest in small
matters that bring happiness.
Children born on that day probably
will gain success by attention TO de-
tail. They probably will prosper In a
quiet way all through life.

pretty busy these days, and I do have
to think ahead. My week-ends are all
taken for a long time, so We'll have
to make it another day. How about
Friday of this week? Would that be
all right for you?"
Mark assured her that Friday would
be fine, and they settled it that way.
But that night when he talked to
Maude, his confidence had forsaken
him.

complained. she actually suggested
the thing herself After such a trick,
she's going to hate me. Do you real
ize that? She'll never trust me again.
And she's so sensitive. l don't want
TO hurt her"
But Maude was quietly complacent.
"A lot you know about women,
Mark Burton. When l was a girl,
had dreams of being carried off like
that. And it wouldn't have been any
great trial to forgive the man who did
1t, either. You've done splendidly, and
things are going far better than had
hoped
That's just it. they're going too
we'll"
Maude ignored this.
"Jessica may belong to the modern
generation" she said sagely, but
she's no different from the rest of US.
BY the way. Mark. do you realize that
you're very attractive MANI
Marks rudy skin turned a deeper
hue.
Now see here. Maude, I've listened
to you thus far. but don't get any
ridiculous ideas into your head. I've
told you about my plans. Just as soon
as l can get the business of Jessica
finished-and, remember. 1 don't hold
out any hope as to the success of this
crazy planAI'm going to settle down.
I've found the right woman, and I'm
satisfied. I've wanted to get up to see
her ever since my return. She's ex-
actly suited to me. Our tastes are the
same and I'm very fond of her."
But, of course, Mark" Maude re.
turned innoCently. Just because 1 say
