mo, I'm never going TO read
that story any more. ] don't
like people who tell lies" And
the Little Girl shut the book and
went and put il away in the
darkest corner of a dark closet,
and that was that.
Dear LATHE Girl, ! do hope
you viii never Get used to liars.
They are such Unsatisfactory
people, TO be sure, and the worst
thing about them i that you al
ways believe their lies, and never
do believe them when they tell
the real, honest-to-goodness
truth. And when you catch one
Of them in a whopper. they make
you distrust everybody else and
that's the very worst thing about
liars and frauds and cheats.
They take faith and confidence
in real people away from you,
and that's always a tragedy.
Did the princess ever discover
that the Marquis OF Carabas was
not a marquis at all? Don't
worry, Little Girl, she wasn't
married 10 him a wesk before
she found out that he was a fib-
Der. He fi5bed TO her about his
name, and about his money and
about his friends and about
where ne got the ruby ring she
admired 80 much.
And when he went out for a
walk, he fibbed 10 her about
where he went and who he met,
and in less than a month the
poor princess knew that she
couldn't believe a word he said,
and after that she was never
really happy, not for a whole
hour as long rs she lived.
Poor princess, it is a terrible
thing TO be married to 2 liar, but,
oh, how much more terrible il
must be TO be q fibber yourself
and discover all at once that 10
body ever believes a word YOU
say, even when you are telling
or trying to tell the honest

hear Of an outbreak OF typhoid fever or olph-
iberia. On investigation by the health author
tiles it is found that a carrier has been respcE-
sible for the epidemic.
The carrier has had the disease, perhaps years
ago, and recovered from it. But the tonsils or
gall bladder continue to harbor and to breed the
deadly germs. without the knowledge of the
carrier, they are spread and come in contact with
susceptible persons. Then there is trouble.
In 1918, and to a lesser extent IN 1919, the
whole world suffered from influenza. More per
sons died from its effects than were killed in all
the wars Of history. Nothing appeared to stay
the hand Of death.
II was natural that scientists should accept the
challenge and exert their every effort 10 defeat
this form Of attack from mankinds chief enemy.
