YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS F1sHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS F1sHBEIN
Editor Journal OF the American
Medical Association and of Hygeia,
the Health Magazine
In the current issue Of Hygeia,
DIR. A. Levinson has pointed out
some OF the important factors to
be considered by people who wish
to adopt child. ...s
In most instances people pick
out a child because it is dark Or
fair, fat or lean, because its hair
Is curly or straight. blond or bru-
net. However, the wise couple will
realize from, the first that the health
of the child Is much more i'm
portant than the titlt or. turn-up OF
its nose.
Experienced parents realize that
an extremely cute baby may he just
the opposite when it reaches eight
years of age. The fat babies get
thin and the thin ones get fat; the
curly headed blond six months of
age may be a straight-haired raven
at the age of Is.
The child with a positive Was
serman test has condition which
demands a great deal Of attention
before it is suitable for adoption.
The child who has come from q
family with tuberculosis may pax
through q long period OF invalidism
before 1t u healthful.
Mental deficiency can be recog-
nized after three or four month";
of age. but some mental taints dc
not appear until later in life. Fol
this reason 1t is highly important
to have some conception Of the
amount OF mental defect in the
ancestry of the child that Is being
considered for adoption.
Some hereditary defects can b.
controlled to certain extent

This was SO unexpected that 1t
took Spooky Z minute to get
Strengthened around and ny in pur-
suit. BY that time 1t was too late.
His keen ears heard a soft little
thud down below on the wall Of the
barn, and then that dinner he had
been 10 sure OF disappeared.
Spooky turned in midair and flew
back to his perch. He was very
much out of sorts. 1t would have
made him out of sorts to have been
simply fooled. but to be fooled and
to lose q dinner at the same time
was, you must admit. enough to put
any one out Of sorts. He snapped
his bill angruy. ...
''Timmy. the Flying SQUIRREL" he
exclaimed. what business has he
here in this barn? And I thought
it was q young rat! Well. he won't
fool me again! One OF these days
III catch him. But that doesn't
help me out any now. Ha! There
10 q sure enough young rat down
there!"
Once more Spooky took to his
wings. A few minutes later he was
sitting on his perch. picture Of
contentment. with the tail OF a young
rat ranging from a corner of his
mouth.

How Spooky Was Fnosed
(By Thornton W. Bur4css)

Even those In wisdom schooled
At times will be qquite badly fooled.
Old Mother Nature.
Farmer Browns Boy called
spooky the Screech Owl the police
man OF the barn" which was = very
good name. You see. spooky was
spending the cold weather in Farm
CT Browns barn. and he was keeping
the rats and mice out of mischief
there. Spooky had learned all the
places where the rats and the mice
were likely to be seen and he kept
sharp watch Of all those places.
1t was seldom that Spooky swooped
down In vain. Some Of those rats
and mice were very qquick, but after
all. the best thing to do was to run.
and 6pooky knew just how to
catch them.
But one evening spooky was
fooled. yes. sir, Spooky was fooled.
He had to admit it to himself. II
was this way. He was sitting up on
his favorite perch on 4 rafter up In
the roof Of the barn. It was 4 good
place from which to watch. He
could see all over the barn. He had
been watching the grain bin Aswn
below, for 1t was around that grain
hin that he had caught most Of the
rats and mice on which he had been
living. They just couldn't keep away
from that grain bin. So when
Spooky felt 1t was time to eat he
would watch sharply that grain bin.
On this particular evening Spooky
had been growing more and more
hungry and hadn't seen q single
mouse Or young rat. 80 he had
kept his eyes most Of the time on
that grain bin. hoping and hoping
that he would see his dinner down
there. But once in a while he
would turn his head quickly from
side to side for = hurried look in
other directions. 1t was during one
Of these hurried looks that he
caught sight Of = small form NOV.
ing along on one of the big beams
OF the barn. Instantly Spooky
spread his wings. That small form
was too big for mouse. SO it must
be a young rat.

spooky darted down with his claws

1t was at that very second that
his intended victim happened TO
look up. It was the next second
that Spooky was completely fooled.
He had expected that II he were
discovered. that rat would acamrer
across that beam as fast as his legs

for this. He was ready 10 follow
