Bunny Rabbits
Adopted by Cat.

LeCenter-Mother's love is about the
greatest thing in this world, even in
the cat family. One day recently on
the Ben Trailer farm, cat gave birth
to several kittens in comfortable home
on top of the strawpile. But the
mother did not think of preying hawks,
for day or two later the cat was seen
scrambling around over the strawpile,
meowing loudly. Members of the Trax-
Ter family went out to help her search,
but the kittens had disappeared and
the kidnapping was laid to hawks. The
same day Mr.. Taxler was cutting grass
in the marsh when he spied a furry
bunch of newborn rabbits. His little
son, Jerry gathered the five Dummies
and carried them home. The Dummies
and the mother cat were introduced,
and in no time the cat had adopted the
rabbits. And now they are just one
happy family. When the rabbits de-
eide to go exploring as wild rabbits will
do early in life, the mother cat promptly
picks them up and carries them back
to their home. She's taking 10 chances
on losing any more offspring, even Or
phan Dummies.

MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

This is the time of the year when
people take to the beach. Fashion
scouts spend two-thirds of their time
taking notes at the waters edge, and
here and now is the time to say the
1888 waters edge is the prettiest in
history. Swim suits, bathing accessories
and beach robes make the lakeShore
the most attractive of summer spots.
This is year when you should throw
your thrifty and usually commendable
Scotch conscience to the winds, do
away with that swim suit you could
make do another year, and get youself
one of the new whip,
pretty picture models.
Figures that in themselves are not
flattering may be attractively covered
and minimized by the wearing of
print or plain dressmaker suit of-let's
say, seersucker with silk jersey lining
Dressmaker suits are definitely for the
heavier woman.
Satin lastex, plain or made in the
new all-over shirred manner, are fash
ionable-plus swim suits. If you are a
brunette wear white suit and white
ribbon.
Print suits are much in vogue this
season. Reports from the Riviera and
other high fashion resort places state
that even the men are taking to prints
and wearing huge flower printed bath
ing trunks. It is extremely doubtful
that this fashion for men will have
much, if any, popular appeal, but it is
interesting to note.
If you would develop lovely figure
and have fun doing it, swim at least
once each day. Twenty minutes is long
enough, but spend that twenty minutes
swimming and not dawdling and con-
versing. If you can't swim, hang on to
the dock or ropes and kick your legs
up and down, keeping your knees stiff
and using swinging motion from the
hips. Do this so to 100 times and then
turn on your side and kick scissor
wise with knees stiff. Swimming breast
stroke is an excellent figure developing
exercise. Swimming is one of the
finest exercises for correctly pro-
portioning the body.

The business center, if well planned,
requires little space or equipment. If
desk Is used, it should be Of size
to meet the needs of the family If
several persons are to use 1t, it will be
necessary to assign definite drawers to
each person. But if space does not
permit the use of desk, a section of
cupboard may be used by dividing
drawers with pasteboard or plywood
partitions to fit books and bulletins. A
kitchen table or breakfast table with
drawers may be quite satisfactory also.
A hanging wall desk may be used.
1t should be firmly constructed and
securely fastened to the wall if a drop
leaf is to serve as place on which to
write.
A well-equipped desk is provided with
the following essential articles: Pen
ellis and pencil sharpeners, pen and ink,
blotters, calendar, spindle, files, recipes,
receipts, bulletins, valuable papers wal

Why Doctors Go To
Medical Conventions.

The doctor who wants to take good
care of his patients has to attend meet
ings from time to time. Attending
clinics, listening to discussions, hearing
papers are an important part of the
process by which he keeps up to date,
according to bulletin issued by the
Minnesota State Medical Associations
Committee on Public Health Education
today. The doctors bulletin provides
an official explanation for the abb
sence of the majority of the 5000 doc
tors who practice medicine in Mime
sofa from their offices and hospitals
last week.
These Minnesota doctors attended the
85th annual meeting of their state as
ISOLATION in Duluth. In the course of
three days of papers, clinics, medical
movies, and demonstrations they heard
and saw the latest in control of can
Ger, in handling of grave accidents, in
caring for sick children, in use of such
tools as x-ray and the new drugs, and
in the care of eXpectant mothers and
babies.
A group of nine distinguished medi-
cal scientists from outside the state
read papers there and Minnesota
leaders in all branches of medicine and
surgery rounded out the program.
Among all the crafts and professions,
medicine demands the most in con-
slant study and preparation if the
doctor is to give his patients the care
they require.
Any inconvenience sick people in
Minnesota may have suffered because
their doctors were temporarily absent
last week will be more than compen-
stated by the chance afforded their
doctors for mutual discussion of diff
cult problems and contact with new
methods and procedures.

days and was considered fairly good
"jaunt" in those days. When asked
about the road or path they were forced
to use, Mr. Hewett, who spent most OF
his life up at Tower and Soudan, said
when we weren't in the bush We were
in the lakes, and when We weren't in
the lakes we were in the woods" In
other words, the roads weren't 80 hot.

Before yuO try to swim across that

Last September an act of congress
authorized federal aid to the states in
restoring wildlife. Congress said that
the money should come from taxes on
firearms and ammunition and told how
it should be distributed and how it
should be spent. And now congress has
made this authorization good by in
Guiding a million dollars for the purpose
in the Agricultural Appropriation Act,
which the President has approved.
Here's the way it works. Each state
will be apportioned share of this
money. The amount depends on two
things-the size of the state and the
number of hunting licenses sold there.
One-half of the available money will be
apportioned to state areas, the other
half according to the sales of hunting
licenses.
