both sign it.
Ben F. Noble. their city editor,

they're both the same to him.
The girls write their story to-

thinks and II Olive doesn't like 1t,
and often she doesn't, she tells
Helen the correct way of saying
it, and vice versa. The net result
is q compromise story, signed by
both and published under their

Health Hints

Editor journal OF the American
Medical Association and Of Hy-
gcia, the Health Magazine
During the World War there ap-
peared in France In 1916 and in
Vienna in 1917 cases of 4 disease
which had been described more than
hundred years ago and which was
peculiar In character.
In this disease the brain and
the central nervous system were
attacked, the primary symptoms
being disorders Of movement and
particularly form Of uncon-
seriousness which caused the dis
ease to be called lethargic en-
cephalits.
The lethargy or sleepy uncon-
seriousness gave to the disease the
newspaper name Of sleeping sick
ness and caused great confusion
with that form of sleeping sick
ness which occurs in Africa due TO
a germ that is transmitted by the
tsetse fly. The African disease
bears no relationship 10 lethargic
encephalitis.
In All Countries
The epidemic encephalitic dis
ease spread rapidly over Europe
and early in 1919 invaded the
United States. 1t is now appear
ing throughout the world, and it
is impossible to predict its extent
or limitations. The cause is thus
far not definitely established, all
though bacteriologic studies have
indicated its germ origin.
Unlike meningitis and infantile
paralysis this disease attacks the
brain more than it does the spinal
cord. A a result. all sorts of un-
usual symptoms appear, including
paralysis. disorders Of sensation.
double vision. tremors and serious
disturbances of mental power and
moral character.
The Physicians Job
Since there are many conditions
that may also affect the brain.
confusion sometimes results in
differentiatins epidemic encepha-
litis from other brain disorders.

disease has attracted studies by

thing to have in mind. Throw the
left arm out. turning the head to
one side and breathing as you do
it. Then as it goes down and
back, revolve the other arm in the

Keep them alternating until
your whole body feels the swing

exercise fer circulation, for 1.-the

invaluable for giving you the easy

swimming.
For swimming has behind it tho

should be an outlet for the music

it cannot be perfect swimming.

Certain setting up exercises. based
on the rhythm of swimming give
one a theory of swimming that
helps tremendously in getting the
knack OF it.
Try to think of the stroke as Il
kind of circular movement in
which the entire body participates.
Stand with feet together. Raise
the arms even with the shoulders.
Hold the fingers relaxed and the
arms curved SO they form circle
on a level with your chin.
Now. If you turn on the radio or
some other music which has
a slow waltz, you can dance with
your arms and get the rhythm of
swimming.

Mrs. Peter Rabbit.
Whitley had disappeared from the
dear Old Briar-patch. His mother,
Little Mrs. Peter Rabbit, knew what
had become of him. He had been
carried away by Farmer Browns
Boy. Little Mrs. Peter had been
hiding very close by when Farmer
Browns Boy had come and taken up
the boxtrap in which Whitley had
been caught. Poor little Mrs. Peter!
She had watched from the edge of
the dear Old Briar- patch until Far
NOR Browns BOY had disappeared in
the distance. What was to become
of her beautiful little white-coated
son?
When she told Peter Rabbit what
had happened. Peter wasn't nearly
SO worried. ITS all right, Fuzzy"
said he. You ought TO know Far
mer Browns Boy well enough by
this time to know that he will not
harm the little rascal. A lot of the
little people OF the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest have been TAX
en- prisoners by Farmer Browns Boy
and you know that not one has ever
been harmed In the least. All have
been prisoners of kindness If this
little rascal OF ours had obeyed this
wouldn't have happened. The first
dark night l will slip up to Farmer
browns dooryard and find out about
Whitley. I'm sure III find him there
safe and happy"
This consoled Little Mrs. Peter
somewhat, but not altogether. Moth
ers are like that. She, still imag-
ined all sorts of dreadful things All
that Peter had said might BE true
Then again it might not be true
She spent a great deal of time SIT
ting at the edge OF the dear Old
BrIIr-patch nearest 10 Farmer
Browns. She sat there looking off
across the Green Meadows. So il
was that late in the afternoon she
spied Sammy Jay coming from that
direction. Her heart began to beat
little faster. Perhaps Sammy had
news. He was famous for picking
up news. Perhaps be would be abb"
to tell her something about Whitley.
She actually hoped right out from
the edge of the dear Old Briar- patch
so that Sammy would be likely to see
her at once.
Sammy did see her. He saw her
some time before he reached the
dear Old Briar- patch and h. headed
straight for her. He perched in a
little cherry tree and looked down
at Mrs. Peter where is that
white-coated son of yours ?" he
asked.
That is what / want you to tell
me. Sammy JAY" replied Little Mrs.
Peter. Have you seen him? Is he
Well? Tell me, sammy"
Little Mrs. Peter looked up at
Sammy SO Wistfully and SO anXiously
tnat Sammy couldn't find it in his
heart to tease her as he had planned
TO. Yes" said he, Il saw him not
five minutes ago. He is up at Far
mer Crowns dooryard and SO far as
1 could see he is as happy as il he
were here in the dear Old Briar-
patch. Certainly he is safer. No
harm can reach him. Not even Sha-
dow the Weasel can get in where
Whitley is now"
Does he have enough TO eat?"
inquired Mrs. Peter.
Sammy chuckled. If he cats all
that is put before him he'll kill him
self" declared Sammy.
Does he have place to slcep?"
inquired Mrs. Peter.
''Of course he has place to
