which she had added the apparently
careless remark minimizing our

She knew as well as I that Mary

slightly ajar and that she probably
had heard every word of the stormy
colloquy.
But ! am sure that the sudden
wonderment as to Mary's nom

to Lillian no more than to me until
the end of her little speech. Then
simultaneously our eyes flashed

Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes of Illness

While the disease called mumps is
not responsible for the death Of very
many people, 1t is highly contagious.
1t spreads rapidly through schools
and other institutions where there
are many children.
1t produces an extraordinary,
distressing appearance. and it has
secondary complications which
may sometimes be quite serious
Most persons who suffer from
mumps are between the ages Of
S and Is. The disease is rather
rare in infants or in elderly per-
sons.
Fortunately, when a person has
once had mumps he is not likely
to have them again.
Begins With Fever
The evidence indicates that the
incubation period, or the time
that is required for the disease to
develop after the person has once
been exposed to it, is about IS
days. The earliest symptoms are
likely to affect the entire body and
include chilliness and perhaps
soEle fever for few days, cul-
niinating finally In aching, tender
ness and swelling OF the glands
just in front of the ear.
This swelling usually fills in the
space under the ear and extends
forward on the jaw. raising up
the lobe of the ear and giving the
person a somewhat grotesque ap-
pearance.
Obviously lump OF this kind
on each side makes chewing I'M
comfortable, the jaw does not
move up and down easily. and
even speaking may be painful.
When sour substances are swal-
lowed the saliva pours out more
rapidly and the pain is still fur
Their increased.
Interference with the circula-
ton of the blood in the neighbor-
hood Of the lump sometimes re-
suits in ringing In the ears or in
temporary deafness. Usually the
swelling reaches its top point by
the fourth or fifth day and the
whole disease tends to disappear.
In light cases the times from the
beginning OF the disease to the
end may seem to be only three or
four days.
A study of many cases OF
mumps shows that the infection
has a. special prediction for the
glands of sex. which become
secondarily infected. sometimes to
their permanent detriment. For
this reason it is customary to con-
fine patients with mumps to bed
and to give them mild diet.
1t is not important to put any
thing in the way of medicine on
the glands. although the applica-
ton Of warm packs may relieve
the pain. AS has been said, the
disease is not especially fatal. in
one collected record of cases there
were only seven deaths out Of al
most 10000 persons concerned.

les on the floor for Mr.. and Mrs.
Jimmy and the Youngsters. AS usu-
al, Mother Brown fastened the
screen door open, so that the Skunks
could back out as they always want
ed to. Mrs. Jimmy was the first one
to help herself and back out with
the tidbit she had chosen. All the
time Mrs. Jimmy was thinking hard.
Its funny" thought she, how !
scratched and scratched and
scratched and nobody came Then
when that door banged some one
came at once. wonder II it could
have been the banging of that door?
I wonder II I could make that door
bang again? When we come again
I'm going to try it. Yes, sir, I'm go
ing to try It,"
That is exactly what Mrs. Jimmy
did do the next night when she ar
rived. She didn't waste any time
scratching. She found at once that
she could hook her claws into the
screen and pull that door part way
open and then let go. And she
found that the banging OF that door
brought results much more quickly
than did scratching. Mother Brown
was tickled. She told her family
about it at the table. Tomorrow
night I'm going to watch and see II

Jimmy Skunk and his family were
getting into a bad habit. AT least,
that is what Mother Brown thought.
They were getting into the habit OF
coming up to the house before 1t
vas time for supper. Whenever this
happened and 1t happened quite
often, Mrs. Jimmy would go to the
Kitchen door and scratch on the
door. II Mother Brown did not
come and open the door at once
Mrs. Jimmy would grumble and
growl a little and keep right on
scratching. She would scratch and
scratch, until finally the door would
be opened.
One night the Skunk family ar
rived unusually early. They should
have known better. Perhaps they did
know better, but perhaps they
thought that 1t was worth trying
anything once. Anyway, they ar
rived at the house extra early. OF
course, there was no food in the
shed for them and also the kitchen
door was shut. 1t happened that
Mother Brown was in the front OF
the house, 80 that she did not hear
Mrs. Jimmy scratching at the door.
Mrs. Jimmy scratched and
scratched. but nobody came. She
xrumbled impatiently while she
listened for Mother Browns foot
steps. Then she scratched again.
She kept this up for some time,
growing more and more impatient
The whole family we're growing I'M
patient.
Now, there was a screen door, as
we'll as q regular door. and this
screen door, like most well ordered
screen doors, was closed with a
spring. II you opened that door 1t
would close the instant you let go
Of II. There was no fastening. You
see, that spring held it closed 1t
was on this screen door that Mrs.
Jimmy did most of her scratching.
That Is, she scratched on the wood
en- frame OF the door, AS she grew
more and more impatient because
Mother Brown didn't come to open
the door. Mrs. Jimmy paid less
attention to where she was scratch
ing than to how she was scratching.
The result was that she accidentally
hooked claw IN the wire screen.
and when she pulled back she
pulled that screen door open a lit
tie way. 1t frightened her a bit.
Yes, sir, Mrs. Jimmy was a little
bit frightened. The swinging open
OF the door startled her and the
catching Of her claw startled her.
80 that she backed away hurriedly.
The claw slipped out of the screen
and the door swung closed. Bang
The whole family was startled by
the noise that door made. But with
that bang something happened. They
heard footsteps coming quickly
across the kitchen floor. Then the
door swung open and there was
Mother Brown. Such a funny look
OF surprise as there was on her face
ss she looked down at Mrs. Jimmy
and the family.
"Who slammed that door, said
Mother Brown. looking all around
this way and that, as II she eX-
pected to see some one standing
there.
No one said anything. but Mrs.
Jimmy promptly made it clear that
she wanted to come In the house.
Mother Brown looked more puzzled
than ever. 1T wonder" said she, eff
It can be that you slammed that
door. Anyway, now that you are
here ! guess can find enough TO
give you an early dinner"

and soon had three plates II good
