Tommy Tt

Of all the little people in the Old Orchard and the Green Forest none Is more generally beloved than Tom my Tit the Chickadee. A lively little fellow is Tommy Tit and a cheery little Dee, Dee. Chickadee! Sec me. See me-" without feeling better for it? There isn't a mean feather in Tommy Tit.
 Ot course, Tommy Tit was one Of tho first to know what had hap pened to Terror the Goshawk. You see, at this time of year Tommy spends a great part of his time up Tn the Old Orchard and over in Farmer Browns dooryard. He and Farmer Browns Boy are great friends, So Tommy was right on hand when that cage was put out in the dooryari. Sammy Jay and Downy the Woodpecker and Tank Tank the Nuthatch were also near at hand and saw what was happen ing. They were excited. of course. Yes, indeed, they were very much excited. For | while their tongues fairly flew.
 I'm glad Of it. said Sammy Jay. ''lt serves him right. I hope he'll never, never get out Of there. This news is going 10 make almost every one around here mighty happy"
 That's SO" said Yank Tank.
 Downy didn't say anything, but he nodded his head rather vigorously.
 Well" said Sammy Jay, turning te Tommy Ti-. what do you think about it?"
 Tommy's little black eyes snapped and tUinkled and twinkled and snapped. T think he said slowly, T think I'm sorry for Terror"
 "What.' screamed Sammy Jay and Downy the Woodpecker and Yanl; Tank the Nuthatch all to- gether.
 Tommy Iii nodded his little black-capped head, rp and down, mp and down, he nodded his little black pped head. Yes" said he, I'm sorry for him. I would be sorry For any one prisoner. but would be sorri"r for some than for others. I am sorrier for Terror than ] would be for some other people I know. because it is so much harder for Terror. He is big and strong and always has known inc freedom of the skies. II must he harder for him than f would be for me, for instance"
 But cried Sammy Jay, don't you know he is the enemy Of ali the little people who fly and runo"
 Again Tommy nodded his little black capped head. Certainly" said he. But he IS their enemy only when he is hungry. Did you ever stop to think that you and and q lot more of the feathered iolk are all the time hunting worms and in- sects?"
 Well. why shouldn't we," de rnanded powny the Woodpecker.

We mean no more 10 him than those worms and insects mean to us. Olj Mother Nature made him q meat eater and if he doesn't kill his meat he cant get it. So I don't care what you say. I'm sorry for Terror and I'm going over 10 tell him so,'
 With this Tommy Tit flew right over and alighted on corner of the cage o' Terror. And. sitting there. he told Terror the very best he could just how he fel, about it. IT Terror understood if he made no sign,

Otcner DetrGuded Of Autonao bile:
Is Such Loss Covered by

BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Jack Hudson owned a car which
was insured for $4,000 against theft.
Desiring to sell his car, Hudson con-
suited the manager Of an auto agency.
who referred him to q certain Lewis
Larson.
Hudson went to see Larson. who
agreed to buy the car for $3,500, CIV
ing Hudson q certified check for $500
in full payment. Hudson, with the
check in hand, watched Larson drive
off.
He deposited the check, and few
days later. he received a call from his
bank that the check had been returned
marked fraudulent" The police
could not locate Larson.
Hudson filed his claim in accord
with his theft insurance, but the COM
pany refused to pay. contending that
the incident was not such theft" as
was contemplated by the policy, as
Hudson had voluntarily parted with
the car.
Hudson sued and lost the case. for
the court said:
"As the wrongdoer fraudulently in
duced the owner to surrender t0 him
the absolute title and possession of the
car, the offense is that Of obtaining
money under false pretenses and not
case cannot recover. A contrary rule
would encourage owners to be ex'

spective purchasers are true or false.

find some food for optimism on a
question l am generally pessimistic
about in the increasing number Of
inquiries from readers in recent years
for good elementary text book of
physiology. Not only school people
but just plain folks seem to be de-
veloping a healthy desire for better
knowledge Of this branch Of science.
If the functions of the body are not
as fit subjects for literature as the
process Of the suns, as the erotic
fantasies Of Mr.. Shakeseare or Mrs.
Bestcellar, literature must be growing
exclusive.
Somehow Psychologists who are
competent to write good popular
works on physiology don't write 'em.
Perhaps they do not care to contend
with the obstacles the author Of such
a book has to surmount in order to
get his book printed. There is a sur.
prising number Of proprietary inter.
ests whose prosperity depends on
keeping the general public ignorant
Of physiology. The general public
ganda maintained by such interests
in regard to food, raiment, shelter,
soap, water, air, medicine and other
subjects the author of such a book
might inadvertently touch upon.
Text books in use in elementary and
high schools usually include bits or
cmatterings of physiology incidentally
in a vague course in health"

to your weight. If you make it SOC
calories that would be two ounces q
day, and. If you make it q thousand
calories, four, ounces-which Is the
ideal amount either to lose or tc
gain. Four ounces a day is about
two pounds a week, which Is small
enough for the rest of the system to
accustom itself to the change wheth'
er this Is putting on or taking OH
weight.
1t is much more difficult to add a
thousand calories to your diet than
to take them away, for in reducing
you merely burn up excess flesh from
the storehouse of your own body,
while in gaining weight you must be-
ware of indigestion. Therefore you
must add your thousand calories grad
ually and choose them in an easily
digestible form. Milk with plenty OF
cream is one way; gradually learning
to eat the fat parts Of meat is an
other Using twice as much butter
Is still another way, butter being
easily assimilated.
