Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS IISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of lily
 gcia, the Health Mauazinc

It has been well established for several years that the human being may become sensitizcd to the dust or dandruff from the hair of ami mals and that his response 10 this sensitization may be in the form of bronchial asthma or similar disturb anccs of the breathing apparatus.
 several years ago a prominent physician showed that q group of children were suffering from hron- chial asthma due to the inhala- ton Of dry dust resulting from rabbit hair that was present in pillows, comforts, toys. clothing and other articles. Now it has been shown that it is possible to make animals sensitive 10 horse dandruff by inhalation, and the reaction is invariably in the form of bronchial asthma.
 When guinea pigs had little pl"dge's of cotton filled with dry horse dandruff placed in the nose and after an intervening period were subjected to dosages Of horse dandruff, they developed symptoms of shorlness of breath and changes in the body indefi- nitcly associated with the asth- ma1ic attack.
 As with human beings. so also with the animals. relief could be had hy the use of cpinephrine or adronalin, a substance taken from the glands lying just above the kidney which has been found 10 be of value in alleviating such attacks.

Mary Harrison Wouldn't Mind Be.
 ing the Cause of Duel

It did not take any unusual keen ness upon the part of an observer 70 see that there already was a well defined if suppressed hostility be- tween Noel Nerit2en and the young man who called himself George Logan Jackson" Of course they were both too well-bred to display heir antagonism. but nevertheless, watching them as we took our leave of Miss Lincoln and her guests at he Larches, ] was irresistibly and tmusedly reminded Of two strange Wastiffs eyeing each other with the lack hackles of each bristlng.
 Of course, I knew the reason for this sudden hostility. In the person of Mary Harrison, it walked de murely beside me to our waiting ar. She apparently was perfectly nblivious Of the existence of either young man, playing the role Of at "ntive and devoted niece to perfoc- lion. But when we had driven home, he left Noel upon the veranda and olloUed me to my room.
 "Auntie Madge," she said, slipping her arms around me and giving me g bear hug. Do you know you're a perfect duck?"
 Just why. Nary" I countered, Because I've provided you with new mechanical toy to wind up till you break it?"
 held her off. smiling amusedly it her. She did not pretend to mis- understand me, but she was perfect ly unabashed, giving gay little laugh at my query.
 That's the answer" she said crisply. Things were really getting iull around here. Noels darling. nut he isn't particularly exciting. But do you know. '-reflectively-"I imagine that young MT. George To- gan Jackson ought to provide some pep for the long summer vacation"

 She clasped her hands theatrical ly, and her eyes danced with mis- chief.
 That certainly would be poppy" she exclaimed. Do you know I've always thought it q shame that duelling should have gone out. Talk about thrills, With all our new stuff those girls Of the old time cer- tainly had it all over us. Can you imagine anything more hair-raising and spine-creepinE than to have two spiffy lads shooting or carving each other into bits because of you"
 No, I can't" l retortcd trihe curtly for there was something in her manner which jared a bit upon me. Beneath the nonsensical ex- trayaGance of her words I detected q restless hardness, common to the modern girls of her age, and won derea if it were something innate. or simply q part of the metallic veneer with which so many young girls mask their real feelings.
 She narrowed her eyes and looked at me speculatively.
 You're terribly shocked at me. aren't you?" she asked and I thought l caught just hint Of patronage as if I could not be ex- pected 10 understand her modern young viewpoint. I was vain enough to be stung by it. but miraculously I managed 10 keep all rancor out of my voice as I laughed at her.

Now. while all the search for Cub by was being made by Farmer Browns Boy and by Mother Brown, Cubby was suprcmely happy. Prob ably there never was a happier small bear than was Cubby down there in the cellar Of Farmer Browns house. He hadn't at all minded having Farmer Brown shut inc bulkhcad doors. You sec, ii wasn't wholly dark down there even with the doors shut. There were some small windows that let in q ittlc light In fact, Cubby was rather glad 10 have the doors shut. You sec. with the doors open he would all the timn have been expect ing some one 10 come looking for him.
 As soon as the sound of Farmer Browns footsteps had died away 'ubby made right straight for q cer- tain place.

He will trust his nose before he will trust his eyes or his ears. He knows that what his nose tells him is true. He cannot always believe his eyes. II" cannot always believe his ears. But he can always believe his nose, and does.
 So Cubby's little nose led him ri@h, straight across the cellar to what do you think? A barrel, Yas. sir, q great big barrel: Can you guess what was in that barrel? What do you think?
