and confident and like many others
of us he thought that he could take
care of himself under almost any
conditions. Now his mother and
brothers are heart-broken and many
other people grieye sincerely.
TIL Y. NJ. C. A., the Boy Scouts
tions have done a fine work in teach
ing swimming and life saving. Our
death toll to the rivers has fallen off
in recent years, doubtless due in con-
siderable measure to their instruc-
tion. But it seems to us that they
should redouble their efforts to i'm
press on boys and other swimmers so
that they cannot forget, the i'm
portance of the condition of the wa
er and of the physical condition of
the individual. The disposition to
take chances, which is inherent in
nearly all of us, must be beaten
down with an emphasis on the con-
stant menace that the water presents
unless conditions are favorable.
Schools and every other agency that
deal with the education and direc-
tion of boys and girls might well
help in such a work
instruction and constant warning
will never be effective enough to en-
tirely eliminate drowning accidents
that are due to heedlessness and lack
of supervision. But the saving of the
life of single youth, the prevention
of the breaking up of a single fam
lily circle, would be great reward
for unlimited educational work
along the line Observation-Disclosures
Times.

The Menace OF Our Rivers

The Muskingum river added one
more to it's long list of victims yes
terday afternoon when Blaine Dye,
promising boy of seventeen, was
drowned at Devol's Dam. Every
tragedy of this kind brings grief to
relatives and friends, sorrow to the
community. 1t emphasizes, also, the
danger that the rivers constantly
present and the necessity for the ex-
ercise of judgment in swimming and
for supervision of young swimmers.
This boy had the confidence of the
good swimmer. But conditions were
all wrong for his entering the water.
The Muskingum was high and mud
dy. with more current than usual. A
high wind was piling the waves up.
He had eaten a picnic dinner shortly
before, and probably everybody has
been warned many times not to swim

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Me dical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine.

During q convention of nodescript practitioners of healing in Chicago the outstanding observation as listed in the press was the claim made by one of them that 60 per cent of all babies born of cigaret- smoking mothers died before reach ing the age Of two primarily as the result of nicotine poisoning.
 As a scientific statement. this pro- rouncement partailes of the odor popularly credited to limburger cheese.
 The statement was not supported by any statistics nor by any lab oratory evidence 10 give it the slightest warrant. The only possi- ble purpose for such an item is to stimulate smoking fanatics or secure publicity for the promulgator or.
 Now DIS. Rol ert Hatcher and Hil- da Crosby Of the department of pharmacology in Cornell Medical College have announced the results of numerous scientific experiments which they have undertaken and which prove absolutely that the statement made by the healer who has been mentioned is utterly with out any basis.
 A tremendous dose of pure nico- tine was given 10 q COW and only in significant traces of the drug were found in the cows milk. even though the COW showed symptoms of nico- tine poisoning.
 The milk from the COW was fed to two kittens which remained per fcctly normal.
 A cat which had given birth to six kittens was given q large dose of nicotine sufficient 10 cause Symp- toms of nicotine poisoning. The kit tens which took milk from the mother slept after nursing and showed no symptoms of poisoning whatever.
 A mother who was willing 10 lend herself to the experiment smoked 90 to 25 cigarcts daily for six days cretion of milk was abundant at first, but decreased rapidly later.
 Although a trace of nicotine was found in the milk. the amount pres Cnt was not sufficient 10 cause symptoms of any kind even when the milk was concentrated.
 Apparently extremely large doses of nicotine may temporarily sup press the secretion of milk, but will not be sufficient to affect the milk in such a manner that it may have any influence whatever upon the child.
 Regardless of any other reasons why nursing mothers should not smoke, possible effects on the child from the absorption of the nicotine secrctod In the milk are not to be anticipated.

Mary Confcsses Abut the "NIasked Dancer"

At Lillian's queer, Mary's cheeks crimsoned.
 Don't either of you laugh" she said, but l honestly think Mr. Nerit- zen expected at first that Noel and l had been secretly married, or something like that"
 Lillian gave quick almost lmper- ceptible nod as II she just had set tied something in her own mind, but she did not interrupt the girls halt ing explanation.
 When l told him that l had confession to make.' she went on, he just looked at me for second or two. the queerest questioning look, almost frightened it was, and then he said:
 Confession Mary! That sounds very formidable. What have you been doing, getting yourself mar ried? Whats the mans name? You must love him q great deal 10 trade your career for him. You know l never bother to train married star. Their interests are always d. vided between their work and their husbands,
 Honestly. his eyes were just like simlets boring into my face,' she said with d reminiscent little shiVer.
 T was so scared and bewildered I didn't know what I was saying, forI thought if he'd fire me for getting married 10 some nice chap, what would he do when he found out how I'd gone to that cabaret and been the masked dancer with that awful Jack Leslie?

There is nothing obstinate about Buster Bear. He is not foolish enough to think that because he has made up his mind 10 certain thing he cannot change his mind. Buster changes his mind whenever if be- comes necessary or seems to him wise to do so.
 That squalling little bear mp in the treetop made him both angry and hungry. He didn't know that Cubby was his own son, All he knew was that Cubby was q nice little bear, tender and just the thing for nice meal before going to sleep for the winter To be sure. it was quite an effort to climb that tree. But good things usually require an effort. They wouldn't be so good if they were not worth an effort So Buster made up his mind that there was nothing for il but to climb that tree.
 Now suppose it seems very dreadful thing to you that Buster Bear should even think of eating q little bear, but such things are not so dreadful among the little people Of the Green Forest. You see, he didn't think of that little bear as a beat at all. He just thought of him as fresh meat. IT was all because Cubby was so small. Had he been q little bigger Buster wouldn't have given him another thought.
 Now all this time Cubhy was bawling as only little bear can bawl. He couldn't read Buster Bears thoughts, but he could read Busters actions. He wanted his mother. No little bear ever wanted his mother more than Chubby wanted his mot her right then. He had a feeling that if only Mother Bear would come all would be we'll So up in the top of the tree he chung with might and main and bawled with might and main. He didn't look down to see what Buster Bear was doing. If he had he would have seen a surprising change come over Buster. Really, il was a change Of mind. One instant Buster was all Set 10 climb that tree. Just one look at him wouf have told you that his mind wa made up to have tender cub for din ner. The next instant he had turnc, and was silently moving away fror that tree. looking back over h' shoulder rather anXiously and talk ing the greatest care to mako n' noise, despite his hurry. Could you
New Britain herald., 1927-11-29

have seen him you would hay" known instantly that he didn't want q cub dinner, that all he wanted was to get away from there as quickly as he could.
 What was it all about? Well, crashing through the woods came another big bear. It was Mother Bear. Her little eyes glowed red. Her lips were drawn back, showing her teeth. She didn't care anything about moving quietly. All she thought about was getting to that tree and getting there in hurry. Buster Bear had heard her coming and he was safely out of sight be- fore she got there. He had no de- sire at all 10 meet Mother Bear when she looked like that.
 At the foot of the tree she glared this way and glared that way. and such an ugly Erowl as came out of her throat. Then she looked lip in the tree. Already small bear was rambling down as only a small bear can scramble. Cubby knew he probably would be spanked, but the way he felt just then no spanking could make him feel anything but joyful
