Is plenty Of food there So have to
go where the food is. 1t isn't because
l want to that I go, 1t is because I
have to. I would like nothing better
than to stay right here this Winter,
but this pond will soon freeze over.
Even If it didn't, there would be no

How soon?" asked Peter.

takes a notion to cover up this pond
with ice We will have to be on our
way"
II hope 1t won't be right away"
said Peter
Thank you, Peter. hope it won't"
replied Honker.
But it was. That very night ice
formed and it was only by moving
ABOUT that Honker and his flock kept
from being frozen in. So at break Of
day, Peter Rabbit, on his way home
TO the dear Old Briar Patch, heard
the familiar "honk, k'honk. honk" OF
flying geese, and looking up saw
Honker and his flock in the shape Of
a great wedge high in the sky and
heading to the south. Peter watched
them out of sight
Il wonder If I ever will see Honker

hurried on home to the dear Old
Briar Patch, thankful that he didn't
have to make that long, dangerous
journey.

The Hay Diet
New Way to Vibrant Health.
BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY, NJ. D.

coloring the skin. the urine. the sclera
of the eyes a distinct yellow, that is
apt 10 be lemon color at first; if
long continued and the saturation
with bile is great. the color may be
deep yellow verging on greehish.
In the hematogenous sort the color
is dependent on the hemaglobin that
is freed from the red cells. These
cells die and the manufacture Of new
cells is not rapid enough to take up
the hemaglobin as rapidly as should
be the case. when the excess is de-
posted IN the skin or passes off by
way Of the kidneys as occult blood.
The usual cause of heptagenous
jaundice is a catarrhal condition of
the bile duct, the consequent swell
ing shutting off the duct SO that the
bile cannot pass out readily. Like
all catarrhal states this is so easily
controllable that a hepatogenous type
of jaundice should be easily cleared
up in few days or very few weeks.
The hematogenous type is a matter
for the blood-making organs to ad
just. When these are speeded up to
a normal rate the hemaglobin de-
posted IN the skin Is all taken up into
the circulation and the jaundice dis
appears.
This will be again referred to under
discussion Of anemia. For the pres
ent. it is sufficient to say that this
very serious type of anemia, the
primary sort, is as completely cur
able as any other degenerated state
of the body, and without liver. with
out iron, arsenic. copper. manganese
except as these may occur in the nor
NAL foods.
If the jaundicesis of the hepatogen-
Gus or liver type which can usually be
determined by an inspection Of the
stools, the victim should purge dras-
tically with plain salts. such as the
EPSON or glauber or Seidlitz powders,
or citrate of magnesia. using any one
Of these saline purges in such large
amount that the bowels should move
10 to 20 times in day, and no food
allowed except unsweetened fruit
juices.
Lemon juice and grapefruit juice
are best here. If taken freely enough
there will be no semblance of hunger.
as in fact there seldom is in jaundice
of liver origin.
The enema must be used twice a
day after the purging is completed,
just two quarts of tepid or cool water
all injected at one time. to mildly
distend and quite thoroughly empty
the colon every day. This with the
purging and the free fruit juice diet
will be enough to correct any case
of so-called liver jaundice in short
time, and with great improvement
to the health subsequently.
Never on any account take calo-
mel or other mercurial This is q
stimulant that will devitalize the bile
function and in the end make a bad
matter worse. 1t is fact that
habitual calomel victims are the ones
who later show the greatest tendency
to jaundice!
The things you do to prevent dis
ease are the only things of construc-
tive character to do for the cure Of
disease.

THIS is very old Scottish sur-n
- derived from the Gaelic "uamh,"
meaning a cave. This name was ap-
piled to lands in a parish in Fifeshire,
because of the number of caves in the
rocks near the seashore. These lands
are said to have been part of the terri
tory of MacDuff, Shakespeares famous
"Thane of Fife" during the reign of
Malcolm Canmore. In almost all
Scottish and English records the sur
name is spelled Wemyss.
One Gillimichael, third in descent
from MacDuff. gave to his son Hugo
the lands of Wemyss. Hugo's grand
son John was the first to assume the
name of Wemyss and was styled Jan
mofr nam Uamh-"Great John of the
Gave" He was the ancestor of the
Earls Of Wemyss.
There have been many eminent rep
resentatives of this family in Scot
land, England and America. Rear
Admiral Wemyss, who was born in
1889, served in the English Navy and
received the thanks of the House of
Commons for his assistance during
the campaign against Genoa. Admiral
Wemyss married the Lady Emma Hay,
daughter of the Earl of Enrol. and
from them descended the progenitor
of the Weems family in America.
The name of Weems was early es-
tablished in Virginia, Maryland and
other Southern States, where descend
ants are now living. Some are found
in various other sections Of the coun-
try.

look at the first person who isn't ruled
by food that l ever have found. Since
when did you stop eating, Peter

II haven't stopped eating. How silly
to think that have stopped eating,
replied Peter.
But you must have" retorted
Honker.
But I haven't" insisted Peter.
But you just said that you are
not ruled by food protested Honker,
''and any one who must eat to live,
and I don't know any one who can
live without eating must be ruled by
food You eat, so you must live where
you may be sure of supply Of food.
You can't live anywhere else no mat

if your supply of food becomes used
up. you must go looking for a new
supply. II that isn't being ruled by
food what is it?"

Everyday Psychology

Fears.

PSYCHOLOGISTS have just about
come to an agreement about fear.
They all say that fear is the founda-
ton Of emotional life. Your pet fear,
that is, the one you harbor with great
care and Solicitude, is the one that
stamps you as somebody held down
by something that doesn't seem to
apply to other people In other words.
what you fear and what you do about
your fear make you what you are.
Your big personal problem is to
find out where you get your fears.
Your next move is to get rid of them.
To get at the origin of fears, you must
consider three things environment.
body, mind.
From your environment you feel
strains. in your body you feel pains,
in your mind you concoct worries.
Strain, pain and worry are the original
sources of fear, with worry doing 10
times more than the others. for it is
possible to combine your worries with
strains and pains in thousands Of
ways.
Mix a worry (something in your
mind) with your work something in
your environment) and you set the
stage for q nervous breakdown. Mix
a pain (something in the body with
a worry (something in your headD and
you can imagine you have all sorts OF
diseases.
Make up your mind to make an end
Of worries and you will conquer fear.

After two passes, North will bid
one diamond, and South will respond
with one heart. North will then bid
two diamonds. Because of the dis
tribution of the cards. two diamonds
are all that can be made on the
North-South holdings. unless North
plays the hand in an involved double
dummy manner, which shall not
bother to expound here.
Naturally, South wants to play the
hand in hearts, because a major suit
part-score contract is always to be
preferred to a minor suit contract.
You know-60 points is unquestion-
ably more than 40 points. Neverthe-
less, he should pass two diamonds.
grant that his hand is very weak.
Yet a rebid at this point should not
evoke a trapping bid of two no-trumps
from North. Under the normal course
of events. with that bidding-one dia-
mond, one heart, two diamonds, two
hearts-North will pass two hearts.
Let him pause and analyze the sit
uation further, however. Why has
North bid two diamonds? He may
hold only a singleton heart. in which
case it would be folly to bid two
hearts; but if his distribution includes
singleton, then he should hold an
other suit-necessarily either clubs or
spades. Without forcing the bidding
beyond the two-diamond level. North
could have bid one spade or two clubs.
He failed to do so, therefore the op-
timistic inference is that North holds
some heart support. Remove the 10
of diamonds from North's hand, how
ever. and substitute small club for
a small spade, and North will bid
one no-trump over one heart, thus
encouraging a two-heart sign-off.
True, North may hold: S, AK; H, @;
D, AQxxxx; C. Qxx, in which case
his response after one heart is two
diamonds, but the more logical con-
clusion is that North has a definite
reason for failing to give more con-
structive bid such as one spade, two
clubs or one no-trump. And that
reason must be 100 honors. Quod
erat demonstrandum.

one of the most appealing

all the daytime frocks that come
from Paris, it adapts itself artfully
to both morning and afternoon occa-

of smart accessories. Sensibly severe
ones can convert the frock into a
suitable outfit for mornings; and ex-

exciting enough for affairs in the

costume can be made by wearing an
extreme Russian turban, heavy gold
jewelry and gloves that are long and
gauntleted The scarf, in this in
stance, is worn wrapped about the

are seen in the silks, velvets, woods,

color with one neutral tone as a
background provide diversion and in

Chinquapin.
Castanea pumila.

CaStanea pumlla.
~HE little brother Of our common
chestnut grows to be q medium
sized tree In Arkansas and
i Texas, but east of the Allie
ghenies it is very small and in
some places merely a shrub. The
chinquapin is really southern men,
ber of the family and likes the climate
of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and
southwark to Florida, Texas and
Missouri.
You will have little difficulty in tell
ing the chinquapin from the chest
nut-the only tree it resembles. 1t Is,
of course, more diminutive and the
smaller leaves are covered with whitish
hairs on their undersurfaces. The
small crusty buds are also an iden-
tifying mark. The burs are small, and
they usually appear in clusters. AS a
rule but one nut is found in bur.
The kernels are very sweet, but are
too small to be of any commercial
value. Like their more husky cousins.
they rest in a lovely velvet-lined jewel
box that is well-spiked on the outside
and is never invaded.
The tree is too small to be Of value
as a producer of wood. It Is very
useful as an ornamental tree, and
loves the dry, rocky slopes. In the
Autumn it is especially attractive.
when its leaves turn yellow and its
brown burs split open, revealing the
white velvet lining and brown nutlet.
On the Pacific Coast there is
chestnut tree that resembles its cousin
of the Eastern States, and in several
ways it's kinship to the oaks may be
seen. To those in the West the tree
is known as the Eastern chinquapin,
and in some localities it is spoken of
as the chinquapin, because its fruit
is so much like that OF its Eastern
cousin.
The mother tree seems especially
eager to protect her seed children
from all enemies. In the first place,
the nut of the chinquapin hangs high
upon the topmost branches. 1t is in
a tough silk wrapper, and the two are
encased in a heavy coat OF velvet.
backed by a tough. leather-like skin.
To complete the job. she adds an
outside coat Of a thousand sharp
needles. 1t is vermin proof, and when
it falls to the ground, the spikes act
as a shock absorber. No other nut
in the world Is so well protected as
are the chestnut and chinquapin.
In May the late buds open and the
leaves unfurl to their full size. Each
leaf tapers at both ends. and the
length is three times the width.
Strong ribbed, sharp toothed and
wavy midrib are points to look for
in Identification. They are dark and
glossy like leather, and when the
branches are in full leaf. the tree
has a dome like appearance.

Vacuum Bottle.

FEW persons enjoy "lukewarm"
drink Usually we like what we
drink warm or cold, and for this pur-
pose the vacuum bottle Is q blessing
to people going on picnics and long
motor trips. They can have cold
lemonade or milk, and hot cocoa or
coffee.
Sir James Dcwar, a British scientist
who was born in Scotland. is given
credit for bringing forth the first bot
tie or flask along the lines of vacuum
bottle. He was working with gases
which had been turned into liquids,
and wanted to keep them cold. In
1892, the idea came to him that If he
could make a container with double
walls, and with the air pumped out
from between the walls, he would be
able to keep the liquids cold enough.
The idea worked and the flask came
into wide use among scientists. Later
a casing for the vacuum flask was
devised. and it became the Well-known
vacuum bottle.
The thing which keeps liquid cold
In vacuum bottle Is the glass con-
tainer, stopped by a cork The con-
tainer has double walls. and before
1t is sealed the air is taken out. The
vacuum" which results acts as a
shield to keep heat from going out
or coming in. The same idea is used
for jugs.
Cork is not so good for holding heat
as vacuum. but the cork in this
bottle is Of good size and does very
well. The glass bottle is silvered as
another means of making heat waves
bounce back"
Unless We look inside, we do not
see the double-walled glass bottle
The outer container is OF metal or
other hard substance. and is meant
to guard the bottle from being broken.
Even with that help, We may break
the bottle; then it will not work. If
that happens in your household. you
might find it interesting to study the
double walls of the bottle.
Such bottles. made entirely Of metal,
are used nowadays. They work
rather we'll, even though metal is not
so good as glass in holding back heat
