"This will make fine ironing
board for Nurse Jane, said the
bunny rabbit to himself. 81 II take
it 10 her.
Tucking the board under his paw,
Uncle Wiggily started back to his
hollow stump bungalow. But while
he was walking along the top of Il
hill, which was covered with slip
perry ice on the slanting down part,
all of a sudden Mr.. Longears hap;
pcncd to think he had had no ad-

Mr.. Lcngcars and then, as he look
ed behind him, he said: "But |
think something is going to happen
right away!'
Truly enough it seemed SO, for
There, running after him along tlf"
top of the hill, WAS the Fuzzy Fox.
''Now I'vc got to run!' said
Mr. Longcars and he began. But
the Fox came on very fast and when
Uncle Wiggily tried to 20 faster the
ironing board got tangled in his legs
aud he fell down. Before he could
get up the Fox had come much
nearer.
"Oh, run, Uncle Wiggiiy! Run
fast!" called a Snow Bird.

away he hoped. But the Fox was
coming nearer. Then Uncle Wig

thought the rabbit gentleman,
sadly.
"Why don't YOU slide down the
slippery hill?" chirpcd the SNOW
Bird. " Iou can slide much faster
than the Fox can run and then h3
can I get you. Why don't you
slidc?''
~ have no sled" answered the
rabbit.
"Sit on the ironing board. That
will be sled" said the Bird.
Quick as wink Uncle Wiggily
put the board down on the icy hill
and sat on his funny sled. Away he
slid down hill on the ironing board

Governor-Elect Phillips of Arizona bursts forth
into print in his first pronouncement after eectoh
with a declaration of California. That is, ne
plans to continue the private war which heretofore
has been the sole property of c. W. P Hunt at present
governor of the Valentine State, but soon to tack an
sex on his name. -,
lerv in Arizona's battle against the Swlng-Johnson
bill for 10 these many years. In fact the HonoraDe
G. w P went down before the people OF the state ol
Arizona in the recent election, still battling against
the California dragon which he 1rmly beeVeS Seeh'
to swallow Arizona, hoof. hide and hofnS.
1t would appear from the voting that Arlzonans
generally speaking, did not hold the same fears that
G. w p does. He considered himself the sole saviour
of the state absolutely essential TO It's salvation, and
firm rock guarding it from willy enemy. The people
of his state cold-bloodedly told him to crawl into
hole and pull the hole in after him.
1t is difficult to think that Governor-Eect Phillips
can be rabid the subject Brother Hunt is We
hardly believe that one state could produce two
men holding such false views California has no
designs upon Arizona; does not seek single right
to which Arizona is entitled and believes that the peo
pie of Arizona understand that
Butif Mr. Phillips does really feel that way about
it, the only thing for California to do is to keep the
fight And Mr. Phillips might well be informed at
the outset that it is going to be hard fight for him to
win The project Of developing the Colorado river
has outgrown the status Of backyard scrap. 1t is
national issue proved By the recent election.
The people of the United States familiar with the
Boulder dam and All-American canal project and it
is safe to say that the opinion Of the ma iory is that
il should be delayed longer. That opinion is bound
to be reflected in the Senate at the coming session Of
Congress.
The fight lies there Friends of the bill will be
found ready to take up the warclub where it drop

merits, and equally determined that single individ
ua shall any longer deprive the Southwest Of that

 You would have done no such thing" told her scornfully. but secretly l was not SO sure. The care less manner in which she had voiced the very theory l held-that the debt of Samuel Brixton to Marion's father far exceeded the sum he had offered-showed me how indifferent she was to the whole financial side of the transaction. She abhorred Brixton, and absurdly dreaded Mar ions association with Ronald be- cause he was Sam's stepSon. but there was in her mind no such haunting feaf as mine held - that Brixton and his half-b brother had some scheme in mind for victimizing herself and her daughter.
 She rose from the couch. and coming over to me. laid her arm across my shoulders affectionately
 You bully old anchor!" she said, then moved away hurriedly as is her wont when she has shown a flash of emotion But her tone and the look in her eyes were worth volume of an ordinary wonan's protestations of gratitude.

Editors Note: This Is the second of series of four articles on the nature and treatment of influenza. In this article Dr. Fishbein discusses the course of the disease and com- plications.
 BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBEGN Editor Journal Of the American Med
 tcal Association and of Hygeta,
 the Health Magazine.
 Infectious diseases have what is called an incubation period, repre- senting the time between tho arrival of the germ in the body and the be- ginning of tho symptoms. For in- fluenza this appears to be very short: namely. between 24 and 4s hours.
 The onset of the disease is sudden. Extreme sore throat Is unusual. The patient usually goes to bed prompt ly with symptoms of chills and fever.
 Sometimes there. is nosebleed, and not infrequently rapidity of the pulse. By the second to the fourth day the disease has become quite G. were and thereafter. if the patient Is tending toward recovery, it lessens in its severity.
 Pains and Weakness
 There are usually pains in the muscles. great weakness, headache. slight cough sometimes severe backache. In some cases also the bowels may be involved. The amount of running from the nose varies a does also the amount of prostraticn and there Is sometimes plum color ed appearance of the face. lips and chest which may develop in severe cases.
 In practically all of the cases that died, pneumonia is secondary com plication 50 that in 1918 reference was frequently made to the disease as influenza pneumonia. Other com- plications may involve the sinuses. the ears, the eyes, and the nervous system.
 In extremely severe cases the pneumonia may be complicated by the formation of fluid or pus in the chest. the lining of the chest wall may be inflamed. producing pleurisy and. acording to whether or not fluid or pus may Do formed. pleurisy

 Lillian and l exchanged question ing glances as Samuel Brixton made a casual and apparently unembar- Iaxsed exit, following his defeat in the matter of the twenty thousand dollar payment to Marion.
 "Can he possibly be as nonchalant as he appears ?" l asked.
 "Yes, every whit" she answered with & smile. He has skin like a rhino, and besides, you must re- member he's just saved twenty thousand dollars. He's made the grand gesture. for Helena's sake, he can tell her it's all right. and know that l will hack him up, and he's that much ahead. As fo- that re leasc' thing he wanted ne to sign, I don't believe he ever thought of that himself. His half-brother evi- dently judged me by himself, and wanted to'make sure I wouldn't come down on Sam for more when i I once accepted the twenty thousand for Marion"
 I looked at her in astonishment.
 So that's what you think the re- lease meant?" asked.
 Pretty nearly" she answered with a disregard for ths possible ramifi- cations of Charles Owens plans which made me yearn to shake her soundly. "Of course Owen and he may have something else up their sleeves-probably Sam owed Tom more than twenty thousand and wanted to protect himself from any possible demand in the future. If he only knew how safe he was! I'm sure Marion will feel the way l do about it, when I muster up courage to tell her"
 Don't tell her." I advised earn estly. 'If Mr. Brixton is sincere in 1; his desire to give her the money, il will be time enough to tell her about it when she comes of age. And we've done the only possible thing now, In protecting her interests by refusing to sign such a release as that was"
 Thanks 10 you,' Lillian said

Guiding Your D Child 0
PICTURE. BOOKS


 Picture books make fine presents for the littlest one. Children from two to four need them as much as their older brothers and sisters need others.
 The little ones need beautiful books. They need books which they can readily learn to handle them selves. They need books whose con- tent Of idea and feeling belongs to their age.
 Among the stacks of gaudy books one usually finds on the tables in the stores, not so many come up to the standards we should require for our children. Shoddy make up, harsh coloring. vulgar scntimcntali- ty, fussy 'prettiness" which cor rupts the taste. and confusing. ir- relevant detail characterize the ma jorty Of them.
 Picture books for little children should be we'll made and firmly bound so that they will stand much handling. They should be on linen or good. tough paper. The pictures themselves should be clear and bright, with only as much detail as the child can understand. The ia miliar farm yard animals and wild beasts are always good, and there are some excellent picture books of railroads, ships and airplanes. These subjects are all within the experi- cnce of the child and he enjoys rec osnizing them and observing them again in pictures.
 Books Of simple action accompan- jed by large. clear pictures are ex- co"iinglv desirable. but hard 70 find, Children like pictures of a lit- 'lc girl feeding chickens, man driving a wagon. children chasing butterflies, or boys playing ball.
 There is one series Of books call cd the social Science Readers" consisting Of four slim books, one about a boys train ride. another about a boat trip. another about an airplanc ride, and last an especially charming one about a little girls visit to grandfathers farm. These books are interesting to children rom three to six years of age. The pictures are simplfied and attrac- tive. the small amount of text is written in snort sentences. The se- rles has been pre- pared by people who know the child's mind and un- derstand what it feeds on.

 Resisting New Attack
 People who have suffered the dis ease year previously apparently are not able to resist new attack In many instances. There is some evi- dence that little immunity is ac- quired immediately after an attack and that this persists for several months but apparently not much longer.
 Compared with the amount of i'm. munity produced in human beings against such diseases a smallpox. typhoid fever. or scarlet fever after . single attack. the immunity con. ferred by influenza is negligible.
