they put you to sleep and keep you

The average mans idea Of under
wear this Fall Is an athletically cut
shirt of finely knitted Isle, the Swiss
rib construction being particularly
popular. The shirts run mostly to
plain white. The shorts are well
liked, in solid colors, ranging from
blue to lavender. Note the French
back construction. A man can adjust
these shorts to his exact dimensions,
no matter how variable they may be.

from the time that he left Mrs.
Paddy on their dam deep in the
Green Forest and started down
Il the Laughing Brook, Paddy the
Beaver felt little thrills OF ex-
element and pleasure run all over
him. He had started on vacation,
and you know how you feel when you
start on a vacation. He was leaving
care and responsibility behind him.
He was off for a good time and 1t
began the very instant he was out OF
sight of that dam. Nothing to do now
but lust what he wanted to do. He
could 60 where he pleased and when
he pleased and there was the pleasant
tingle of excitement in wondering
what he would see around the next
turn.
Now, Paddy has the spirit of the true
explorer He took his time and he
examined everything. He carefully
looked over every steep bank, especially
II the water at the foot was fairly deep.
1T is always well to know where a
good burrow can be made if one should
be needed" said he, talking to himself
because there was no one else to talk
to. IF ever anything should happen
to our dam and the pond go dry we
could get along nicely with good
burrow in a bank above deep water so
that we could have the entrance under
water Now, here is a bank and pNol
that would do until we could build
another dam and make a new pond.

Isabella Moth.
HARDLY know which is the most


r HARDLY know which Is the most
unusual, to have son or daugh-
ter called a woolly bear, or for
i the woolly bear children to have
mother called either Isabella
or Tiger.
With such a beginning, the rest
ought to be interesting. The first
thing you should remember about the
woody bears Is that these fellows live
through the Winter as caterpillars.
You may come across them on
sunshiny day in Winter. They had
been hiding under some trash in the
corner of the yard, or, maybe, right
under the porch. The sunshine
coaxed them forth for little stroll.
You have seen these little brown fell
lows making right good speed down
a path, or even a cement walk. APP
parently they knew where they were
going, and had made up their minds
to get there.
Now stoop down and touch hurry
ing one. That gives him the first
idea he is not alone and safe He
curls up into furry ball and waits
for your next move, possibly in fear
and trembling, If you could see
through that heavy coat of fur he
has on.
The woolly bear is variable in COL
grafton. A whole family of them
sometimes has on coats that are red
dish brown, blackish brown and
three-color combinations, the darker
one in the center. Others are one
color.
No matter what color coat has
been provided for him, he is sure to
have an ebony-colored head and two
over his eyes. They are too small
to see without lens. These little
horns are used as eyes, and are use
full as feelers-like the cats whiskers.
Did you ever see such stretching
exercises as these furry fellows in
dulge in? They reach in every direc-
ton for an object to cling to. The
tiny, claw-tipped feet hold fast until
he feels assured he can move on
The hairy coat is not soft to the
touch. While it amply protects the
caterpillar from the cold, it is as if
he wore spiked coat, as far as birds
are concerned. So the woolly is
known as protected" and he goes on
his way Whether some ancestral
bird made the mistake of trying to
swallow one Of the tiny "hedgehogs,"
and passed the word around to her
survivors before she passed on, we
cannot say. We do know the little
woolly is perfectly safe, as far as
most birds are concerned
Dandelions, grass, clover and other
plants supply the little amber with
food. He fasts most of the Winter
and is in seclusion until Spring. In
April or May a great change comes
over him. He spins fine overcoat
of silk, and woven into it are the
hairs he is busily shedding. His gar
ment will look like felt and the amaz-
ing thing is how so fat caterpillar
gets into so small a garment.
In May you can see his rebirth,
glorious, breath-taking experience.
And the size of the moth that comes
out of the tight garment is another
miracle.
The moth is dull grayish, tawny
yellow, its wings tinted with dull

surroundings, while the sanitary pigs
were all sick, their growth arrested.
and the usual diseases in evidence.
To double check the experiment, the
groups we're now switched, the sani-
tary pigs being put into the filthy,
dark and poorly ventilated pens, but
their feeding made to include every
thing pigs should have, and the for
mer well-fed pigs being put on the
deficient foods, but surrounded by all
the usual hygienic precautions.
The results were the same, the
competently fed pigs remaining in
good health and maintaining the
usual rate of growth, no matter how
unhgyienic their surroundings, while
the deficiently fed pigs in the sani-
tary surroundings began to fail and
continued to do so till the missing
elements were restored to their food.
Why would not this be the same
with the human animal? Wherever
and whenever tried it has turned out
the same in every test, and always
will do so, for the law of nutrition is
Interchangeable.
If you will recall among your earlier
friends and acquaintance, perhaps of
early school age, instances of this
kind, I am sure you will readily see
the force of the argument. Children
of the miserably poor and unhygienic
very often are those who are never
sick; they grow rapidly and to normal
size, and too often furnish the mental
and physical backbone Of the state.
Because their parents were poor
these children were no doubt fed on
the plainest of foods, without the lux
uries too often given to the children
Of the well-to-do.
These plain foods were far more apt
to carry the normal ingredients than
would those more highly refined foods
SO largely in use.
Starvation is a deficiency of some
thing necessary to the body's growth,
repair and function, no matter how
much the total of food eaten during
the day, or what its cost.
There are more cases of starvation

Is starvation for some one thing or
more, and we are recognizing the fact
that deficiency plays the major role
in the development Of all disease.
Completely nourished bodies are un-
believably resistant to all adverse con-
ditions, to those encountered ex-
ternally, through our environment,
as well as those developed internally
through our vital processes.
This alone accounts for what we
call individual natural immunity, and
we surely recognize the fact that in
epidemics only certain percentage
Of the population is subject to the
invasion of the specific germ in EVIL
dence, while the greater proportion
are not susceptible to any outside de-

wonder if we would have to go far Tor
n supply of food
So Paddy left the bank and explored
Sor some distance back, looking Tor
aspen or poplar trees; and this was
fun, too. for there was spice OF DAN
ger. In the water he was always safe,
but on land if he were surprised by
Yowler the Bobcat or Buster Bear or
Old Man Coyote he would have little
chance of escape unless he could get
back to the water.
At one place he found high bank
worn very smooth. Below was fine
pool. This he examined with great
interest, "One of Little Joe Otter
slippery Slides" said he to himself.
ut hasn't been used for some time, so
I guess he isn't around here now. l
haven't seen him for long time and
7 am just as well pleased. He never
has quarreled with me, but I always
feel uneasy when he is around. He is
a fighter, that fellow, and I never want
any trouble with him. He is too quick
for me. Yes, sir, he is too quick. For
tunately, he is good-natured. He
wouldn't be likely to bother me if we
should meet now, for he has plenty to
eat and it is easy to get. But at time
when food is scarce I wouldn't feel
easy with him around"
So Paddy continued on his way ex-
ploring the Laughing Brook and both
sides of it, storing away in his mem
DRY the varying conditions, the loca-
lions of food trees and the kinds, and
a lot of other things that are impor-
tant to Beavers. In the mud on the
shore where the Laughing Brook wild
ened and the water was shallow he
found some big round footprints and
his nose told him that they had been
made that very evening, for the scent
in them was still strong. 1t was scent
that sent little thrills of excitement
mingled with fear all over him.
"Yowler the Bobcat has been here, "
thought he. 1T is just as well that
! didn't get here sooner. Yes, sir, it
is Just as we'll This would have been
a bad place for me to have met him,
The water is so shallow he could have
caught me and I wouldn't have had
much chance. The sooner I get away
from here the better"
He didn't go ashore to look around
at this point. No, sir! He swan
swiftly and silently on down the mid
die of the Laughing Brook where there
was water enough for swimming with
Just his head out. Once around the
next bend he felt easier Here there
was a deep pool and he was safe. 1t
was a moonlight night and on the end
of log in the water at the lower end
of the pool he saw some one sitting
and dabbling in the water. He stopped
swimming and just floated down.
When he was close to that log he
spoke.
TITS a nice evening, Bobby Coon, "
said he and chuckled as Bobby Jumped
SO that he nearly fell into the water.
He had been SO intent on what he was
doing that he hadn't seen Paddy at all.

DIVISION ABOLISHED
HERE AT MONTH END
Present Year Likely to Mark Ter
mination of This Federal
Project.

Several hundred Government en-
ployes face dismissal before June /,
under a transfer of the Washington
Emergency Crop Production and Seed
Loan Office to Memphis announced
today by S. W. Garwood, production
credit commissioner of the Farm
Credit Administration.
Exactly how many will lose their
jobs is not known at present, as
places may be found at Memphis for
few permanent employees who can
be transferred from the Capital. But
it is thought that this figure may be
as small as II.
In the seed loan Office, in c build
ing in the Mall, there are about 600
employees. of whom $50 are on tenn
porary status. All will be dismissed.
How many permanent employees can
be kept depends. Garwood explained,
upon the number of jobs which can
be found for them In Memphis, and
on how many temporary employees at
Memphis can be discharged to make
way for permanent employees here.
Employees Views Asked.
Questionnaires are being sent TO all
OF the permanent employees here to
find out how many are willing to be
transferred to Memphis. 1t will then
De determined how many jobs will
be available in Memphis.
The whole Office here is to be abol-
ished and moved out intact before
June /, as the old temporary wartime
Building c is to be demolished.
Garwood said Memphis was chosen
over Columbia, S. c., to take over
the Washington business because it is
more centrally located in the area
where the bulk Of the crop and seed
loans have been made.
He described the move as a "con-
Solldation" made in the interest of
economy" Permanent employees Of
the seed loan Office also have a pos
sibility Of transfer to some other Gov
eminent office, but the Farm Credit
Administration apparently is not TAX
ing the responsibility of trying to place
all those who may be let out.
Present Season Is Last.
1t was pointed out the Government
does not contemplate making emer-
gency crop and seed loans after this
year. President Roosevelt, in signing
the bill introduced by Senator Smith.
Democrat, of South Carolina, to
authorize the loans, said he did not
expect this type of agricultural financ-
ing to again be necessary.
The Government expects the Farm
Credit Administrations production
credit plan to finance farmers in the
future.
Because of this, the crop and seed
loan agency is to be hquidated. Vir-
tually all loans have been made and
the Offices principal work now is max
ing collections. These collections will
have to be made not only on loans
granted this year but on loans in ar
rears from other years.
Some Of these accounts probably
will be transferred to the local Offices
serving the areas in which the loans
are granted. In this case, some of the
accounts would be sent to Columbia
for collection.
