HEADACHE

Usually a headache Is due to high
nerve tension. At such times all you
need is a little Capudine. This rem.
edy is very effective because it
quickly sootheS tense nerves and
eases pain.
OF course headache may come from
more serious sources. Sometimes 1t may
be an abscessed tooth, or some under.
lying cause which only your family ply
sician can discover. Meanwhile, avoid
suffering IS much as you can by using
Capudine.
Capudine's action is unusually quick
because it is liquid and its ingredients
are already dissolved. No narcotics.

carefully and you will never forget
them or confuse them with the fruit

Johnny Makes Discovery.


DO nothing when you fnd that you
Don't know exactly what TO do.
Johnny Chuck.
Johnny CHUCK had discovered
that he could climb high in a
tree If he had to. He had
~ climbed before, but never more
than a few feet from the
ground. This time he had climbed
high up in the tree. Now he was
making his way down and he had
decided that 1t was easier to climb up
than to climb down. He had to come
down backward. slipping ano sliding
a little. and holding on for dear life
He had just said to himself that he
certainly would be glad to get his
feet on solid ground once more when,
happening to look of across the
Meadows, not yet showing any green
of new grass and clover, he caught
q glimpse of something red.
He blinked two or three times to
make sure that he was seeing all
right. Whatever 1t was it was red.
There was no doubt about it. Not
only was 1t red, but it was moving
swiftly and 1t was moving toward him.
He tried not to believe it. He tried,
but that was useless. Johnny Chuck's
heart sank.
1T must be either Reddy Fox or
Mrs. Reddy," said he to himself. mo
one else wears a coat Of that color.
Now what am I to do? What am
to do? I don't want to stay up in
this tree. I'm afraid to. I'm much
too plainly in sight of whoever comes
along. And don't want to get down
on the ground now with a Fox so near.
I'm afraid to. I'm not acquainted
around here and don't know of
single place where could find safety.
I don't know what to do"
So Johnny did nothing. That is to
say, he just remained right where he
was in that tree just a few feet above
the ground. 1T Is Reddy himself"
he decided at last. Perhaps he won't
see me. He will hardly be looking in
a tree for me. Probably he doesn't
know that am awake from my Win
ter's sleep yet, anyway. II keep still,
perhaps he will pass without noticing
me. I hope so. don't want any
trouble with Reddy Fox"
Meanwhile, Peter Rabbit, who had
been at the foot Of the tree, had dis
covered who was coming and was al
ready well on his way toward the dear
Old Briarpatch, running lipperty, lip
perty. lip. in that funny way Of his.
All Johnny could see of him now
was a spot Of white bobbing up and
down. Peters funny little tail. Johnny
sighed.
II wish I was out there where Peter
is" said he.

r RECEIVED a letter from an
anonymous correspondent the
other day, taking exception to
both my column and myself. He
said, If I remember correctly,
that I, "as well as lot Of other
chumps, made up hands to illustrate
a moronic system of bidding" but
that when it came down to actual
play I'VE were all as punk as the next
one"
I deny the impeachment, sub! I
have purposely soft-pedaled the bid
ding for over year now. I have in
cluded bids, such as those given in
yesterdays column, that would make
strong men shudder and women faint.
have not used this column as
means of promoting book sales or in
creasing the popularity OF the Sims
system. have simply transcribed,
in most cases, my own poSt-mortem
of a hand that I either saw played
or played myself.
It has occurred to me recently that
in thus hiding my light beneath a
bushel basket, I have been what this
correspondent described me as being,
a chump. The fine art of ballyhoo
has reached its peak under the ten
der miniStrations of some of my con-
temporaries while I have been sitting
back quietly and letting them incor-
porate into their systems the bidding
tactics that made me-down with
modesty-successful-
Not being omniScient, I cannot
definitely say in all cases that Il was
the first who ever burst into that
lifeless sea-" But -
At the time when I captained a
team known as The Four Horse
men" our bidding methods brought
us all more cups than We knew what
to do with. We were good players
yes. But the real reason for our
"luck" lay in the fact that our tao
tics we're a complete and radical de-
parture from the auction contract
that every one was playing. Other
experts simply tried to fit auction
bidding into contract grooves. They
didn't seem to be able to visualize the
new game as whole, though they
were as good card players as we.
Don't think that / resented the
rapid adoption of my innovations by
other tournament players. On the
contrary, 1 welcomed it. But since
it is manifestly absurd to expect
credit from those who have their
own imported wares to peddle, I am
going to give a short resume of my
system and prove Il hope) that origi-
nality and logic go hand in hand.
So bring the buglerS out and let
the trumpets sound. For the first
time I'm going to give solo per-
formance on my own horn. If 1T

Smooth Alder.

Anus rugOsa.
sIiasr. the owner of all waterish ground"
w yATER-LovING alders have
A established themselves well
NM over the United States.
There are few areas that
cannot boast one or more
native alders.
II is not difficult to distinguish
these trees from all others, as they
have distinctive family character
istics. Besides, there are only 70
kinds, and there are no tree neigh
bors resembling them, to confuse you.
Nine alders grow in North America;
only six reach tree size. There are
four native to the West, and two in
the Eastern part of the United States.
One very interesting thing to re-
member is that alders have not been
given common names in different
localities. When you are talking to
any one familiar with alders, the men
ton of the name means the same to
both of you.
Alders follow streams, and estab-
lish themselves in moist spots. They
serve man by keeping the rich soil
along the stream edges from being
washed out to sea, and their many
roots form strong network, keep
ing the water to its course. They
form lovely shady places, where
swimming and fishing offer so much
fun and furnish early nectar seekers
with pollen and sweets.
The wood has been used for making
heels, kneading troughs, barrel slaves
and such things. 1t is also used for
the making of gunpowder. The tan
min is useful for tanning leather.
However. there are many trees valu-
able for their wood. and this one is
needed far more where 1t is playing
its own part, guarding the borders

would have had no trouble in keeping
still, but in this uncomfortable posi-

at home, 1t was not so easy.
Meanwhile Reddy Fox-for It was
Reddy-was drawing nearer and
nearer. At first, he had been headed
that way only in general manner,
but now he was making straight for
that tree. You see, Reddy makes a
practice Of visiting lone trees he may
be near. for he knows that others do
the same thing, and that at the foot
Of such lone tree, his nose may pick
up some news as to who has been
about and how long since.
Happy Jack Squirrel was still in the
tree. I'VE are about to have a visitor,
Cousin" said he with grin. why
don't you go down and welcome him?"
Johnny paid no attention to this,
and Happy Jack continued: "Reddy
probably would be very glad to see you
down there. I'm sure he would. After
all, that is where you belong. not up
here"
IF you will Just keep still he may
not see either Of U.s." growled Johnny.
But l don't care if he sees me-"
retorted Happy Jack and jumped
from one limb to another right over
Johnny's head.

Equivocate.


FREELY defined, to equivocate is to
= say two things at the same time.
And peculiarly. this free definition is
at the same time the literal sense Of
the word.
Equivocate is a combination Of two
Latin words "aeques," meaning equal,
and "vox" meaning voice, equivocation
being the utterance Of something that
has a double Interpretation or to
which two or more contrary signifi-
cations are alike applicable.
Those Of us who have to do with
law are, Of course, familiar with all
manner Of equivocation; but perhaps
the best general example is the classic
instance in which Temures is reputed
to have promised the garrison Of Se-
bastia that If they would surrender
no blood would be she6. The garri-
son surrendered-and Temures buried
them all alive!
