that introduce into the system ex-
traneous material with which 1t Is not
able to cope successfully This is also
the case with snake bites, malarial
infection and similar outside contain
ination. The thing with which we
should concern ourselves chiefly, how
ever, is the continual maintenance of
blood stream that is clean and well
fortified with the chemicals necessary
for perfect function.
A blood so fortified Is resistant to
almost all Of the external infections,
as 1t furnishes q soil unsuitable to
foreign growths and implantations.
The usual types Of blood infection
| are all the various pus-producing
germs and their toxins, or the familiar
septicemia, or blood poisoning.
We get this in modified form when
ever we are harboring q local focus
OF pus formation, as internal alb
scesses or external boils or collec-
tions Of pus. And In such conditions
We hnd an elevated white count, the
white cell Of the blood stream being
increased to provide resistance to the
invasion Of pus-forming germs and
their toxins.
When the body Is unable to cone
with the invasion of forming
germs these proliferate and grow rap
IDLY, distributing their toxins to every
part OF the body through the medium
OF the blood and lymph channels.
Ths Is what we generally mean
when we speak of blood poisoning.
resistance to this type of infection
Is IN direct ratio to the falling down
in our alkalin reserve, as can be easily
proven in cases where the system has
tailed to resist the invasion of pus
generating germs, and the condition
OF septicemia has developed.
TO prove that this view Is correct
cases are on record where such strick-
en- were on the very verge Of passing
out through septicemia, their hiehlv
trained medical attendants waiting
daily for death, when the body was
suddenly flushed with q simple saliee
purge, the diet limited to unsweetened
fruit juices. and recovery took place
within . day or two.
Local infections that had progressed
to the general stage Of septicemia
cleared up In this short time, and
from a high temperature, with enor-
NOUS leucocyte count, chills, prostra-
tlon and the state that generally pre-
cedes death by but short time, the
case snapped out Of the whole condi.
ton within a few days, not infre.
quently In one day, with subsidence of
all toxic manifestations.
All such treatment can do Is to re-
move from the system quickly much of
the toxic material against which the
body was unable to gain hesdway
without this assistance, and to build
up . measurable amount Of base
forming material In the body. That
this Is followed by rapid recovery h
the hnal and best proof Of the state
ment that our resistance to blood In
iections Il directly proportipned to
the extent Of our aIkalin reserve. We
can maintain the normal reserve in
no other way than by use Of the base
forming foods freely and the use Of
the aeid'forming sorts sparingy.

THIS surname was undoubtedly
taken from the name of q Bishops
see in staffordshire, England. the
home Of the noted ichfield Cathedral.
This place-name harks back to the
time Of Diocletian, when the name
"Ichfield" designated q field of mar
tyrdom.
The family Of Litchheld (then
spelled Lichfield) was represented in
America as early as 1889, when Law
renee Lichfield of Kent County, Eng
land, came to New England and settled
in the Plymouth Colony. The name
Lichfield, Litchfield, has since that
time spread into many other States
1t is a prominent name in New York,
Pennsylvania, in the Southern and q
number of the Western States.
The following description is given
the coat of arms reproduced: "Or
sword in pale azure, surmounted by
a crescent sable, all between two
crosses crosslet fitchee gules. Crest
An arm in armor endowed, holding
a sword proper" This coat is used
by descendants Of the Massachusetts,
Litchfields.

go together SO quickly that
smart girls can actually finish q dress

The new frocks for Spring will be
neat and trim. Also, they will have
a youthful flare, which will impress
us all by the sophisticated quality
of simplicity. Women-low on the
budget-are going to love the versa
tility of these dresses, because they
make splendid backgrounds for good
looking accessories. This model Is
cut with pencil slimness in the skirt.
The waist is made to f1t easily through
the back, and in the bust, by
modish amount Of extra fullness.
Collars bring us real news. Peaked
and petal-nke, their lines dash away

snatched q seed or peanut, but there
was no happiness there.
Early in the afternoon snow began
to fall and soon it was falling so
thickly and was driven along in such
singing clouds by Rough Brother
North Wind that one by one all the
little people sought shelter. They
simply couldn't face that storm.
Hungry as some Of them were there
was no use in trying to find food In
such weather and they crept into such
shelters as they could find and they
shivered and wondered when they ever
again would have enough to eat.
A few there were who didn't mind
the weather. OF course, Johnny Chuck
and Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse
were sound asleep in their homes in
the ground. Striped Chipmunk was
also asleep, but not so soundly.
Bobby Coon was asleep and 80 was
Buster Bear. Jimmy Skunk, Mrs.
Jimmy and four of their children
were sleeping together, but not 80
soundly - some Of the others. All
Of these folk cared not ut all how
hard Rough Brother North Wind blew
or how thick the whirling clouds Of
snow were.
And down under the snow Danny
and Nanny Meadow Mouse were en-
tirely comfortable in the little tun-
nels they had dug. Their big cousins,
Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Jerry were
equally comfortable in their house in
the Smiling Pool. swimming out be-

The Buckeye.
Juu0nia coenia.

THE buckeye has most remark
able range for one that belongs
to a tropical family. She is
i known in Cuba. and from
there to Massachusetts,, and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coasts. AS she goes farther North,
she becomes so scarce that the sight
of one causes much rejoicing among
collectors.
In the South it is very different
story. Here, among a great number
of her relatives and family she Gre
ates little stir unless Northern visi-
tor catches his first glimpse of her.
Here she hibernates as an adult and
one group follows another throughout
the season. So close does one genera
ton follow on the heels of another
you can find the butterflies in all
stages Of their growth at one time.
If you wish to watch the mother
lay her eggs, you must find the ia
vorite host plant, which Is the hgwort
or plantain family. The gerardia and
related plants are also used. The eggs
are laid singly on leaves and in less
than a week they hatch into spiny
caterpillars.
They are born hungry, and at first
feed upon the green substance of the
leaves. AS they grow stronger, shed
tight garments, and take on size, they
consume so much Of the leaf between
the veins that their performance gives
them away. The ragged leaves are
easily seen, and the greed of the little
spiny fellows is unbelievable.
When they are fully grown, the
caterpillars change to chrysalids
They hang upside down, and look
so much like the chrysalids of the
thistle butterfly that many have mis-
taken them. They are dark brown
with hecks Of lighter brown on them
that Is, If their little foe, determined
parasite, has not happened along
and laid her eggs within the body
Of the Transforming caterpillar In
that case, the chrysand will be q
characteristic golden color.
When the buckeye lives in the
tropics, where there is no Winter Pc
Rod to chill it, or the food plant wait
ing for its leaves again to appear,
then the round Of eggs, caterpillars
and butterflies is uninterrupted.
In the Southern States there are
three to four broods each year; in

The Day Before.

IT WAS cold and gloomy in the
Green Forest, the Old Pasture, the
Old Orchard and on the Green
i Meadows. Snow covered every
thing and Rough Brother North
Wind was very rough indeed. It was
not q good day to be out and about,
not at all . good day. It was the
kind Of a day to spend in some snug,
warm retreat curled up asleep. But
not every one can do this. Oh, my,
mol Hungry folk who have no food
stored away, and who have not had
really enough to eat for days, must
get out to search for something to
chase the gnawing pains from empty
stomachs and to make the heat which
will keep them from freezing to death.
So 1t was that, gloomy and cold as
the day was, there were both
feathered and furred folk abroad,
hunting, hunting, hunting for food.
Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy were
among these. Old Man Coyote was
another, Happy Jack the Gray Squir-
rel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel
were both out and about. Happy Jack
to dig out some of the nuts and
acorns he had buried and which were
now deep down in the snow. Chat
terer could get at his supplies with
less work for he had more than one
Nul-filled storehouse.
Aunderer the Grouse and Mrs.
Grouse were budding. That is. they
were living on the Winter leaf buds
OF the trees. Peter Rabbit over in the
dear Old Briar Patch, was living
largely on bark and twigs Of bushes,
and finding q slim living. OF course.
Mrs. Peter was doing likewise. Rlacky
the Grow was finding just about
enough to keep himself alive and

that. He was regretting that he had

A FEW days ago I gave you my

suit against any and every
contract. They were, in brief, this:
Whatever advantage may accrue to
your partner through making that
tell-tale lead is nullifed by the accu-
rate count your opponent gets on your
hand. Your partner can usually tell,
by dummy's holding, whether or not
to flnesse against your opening.
In other instances, however, such as
suit shift or the opening lead in your
partners suit, the fourth best lead
is of great advantage in telling you
where to cash your tricks, particularly
when there is a set-up suit staring at
you from the dummy. Take today's

Everyday Psychology

Learning.

WHY is it that people differ 50
enormously in their abilities to
remember things they have learned?
The layman, of course, always has his
explanation, usually in terms Of spe-
cial abilities Of one sort or another,
which are taken to be congenial re-
ceptors for certain materials.
This question Of memory attracted
the attention Of famous pSycholo-
gist 40 years ago. He made an exhaus-
tive investigation Of the subject, and
came forth with some laws of learn
ing which seem to have stood the
test of time.
This psychologist was Q German
named Ebbinghaus. In order to rule
out all reference to special abilities and
congenial materials, he used nonsense
syllables-material which had no
meaning for his learners.
Ebbinghaus found that the more
material there Is to learn, the harder
1t Is to learn. This seems simple
enough, but It has . significant bear
