Take about a pound OF the

stretch out for a while. Ten
minutes is about the right time
for such baths. If the water
chills, let out some of it and add
more hot water.
When the bath is finished,
cover shoulders with a large
towel, pat dry with another and
rest in bed for a while. You do
not shower after this bath.
Physicians prescribe these EPSON
baths for any form of muscular
swelling or soreness.

RAINY FOX is not the only one o who has learned the ways Of Blacky the Crow. No, indeed! Old Man Coyote is quite as smart and sharp as she. In fact, he is just a wee mite smarter and sharper. as Granny found out shortly after he came to the Green Meadows to live, though she never would admit it and won't now. Old Man Coyote knows just as well as she does that when Blacky gets excited and caws at the top of his lungs there is usually something going on worth looking into.
 Now, at the time when Granny Fox was trotting down the Lone Little Path and first heard the ex- cited cawing of Blacky the Crow deep in the Green Forest Old Man Coyote had just stretched himself out for a sun bath on the Green Meadows, not far from edge of the Green Forest.

You see, Reddy and Granny Fox are afraid of him, and he didn't have the least doubt that he could catch Peter, now that he was so far away from the dear Old Briar Patch. He was just getting ready to spring out when Peter stopped lodging and started lipperty-lipperty-lip for a big pile of brush. In a twinkling the white patch on the seat of Peters trousers disappeared under the big pile of brush, and there stood Reddy and Granny Fox staring at each other and looking very, very foolish.

GOODNESS, it gives us a jolt to o think how quickly a baby isn't baby any more! Especially when you think what a lot of commotion they make while they are little tikes.
