BY RAMON COFFMAN.

Recently an 11-year-old boy
named John Inwood found a bottle
filled with white tablets q short
distance from his school, and took
them to his teacher, saying:
"Will you please take care Of
these tablets? They are poisonous.
The label says 'Nux Vomica' and
that contains strychnine. know
because I looked it up In the die
tionary."
The boy was right when he said
nux vomica contains the drug called
strychnine. 1t is a powerful drug,
and can poison q person if he takes
more than a tiny amount.
When very small amount of nux
vomica is placed in a tablet. 1t may
se helpful in treating certain stom-
ach and nervous diseases. People
should not use it, however, except
on the advice Of a doctor. Too
much of it will cause Oath.
Even when a doctor prescribes
this drug, people must take care to
keep it from the reach of babies and
tiny tots. What If a baby should
"eat up" a bottle of such tablets?
When babies crawl or toddle about,
they always seem to want to find
something to eat They know little,
II anything, of what is bad for them.
The same statement might be
made about dozens of other kinds

Eastern United States, chiefly north
ward and eastward. They are abun-
dant in the Great Lakes and in
coastwise streams from Nova Scotia,
to North Carolina; common IN the
tributaries of the Upper Mississippi,
especially in the lakes of Indiana,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota. They are unknown from
Central Ohio southwestward, not
known from the Ohio River or the
lower Missouri"
Sometimes, the catch by nets In
the Great Lakes exceeds 5000, 900
pounds annually. Anglers take q
great number, too.
This fish also is known as hinged
Perch, Raccoon Perch and Striped
Perch. It is an excellent food fish
and its flavor Is considered better
than that of any other perch. Be-
cause it is small, it is a favorite
fish for pan-frying. Its length may
be as much as IA inches and its
weight nearly 3 pounds. but this
size is not usual. The tightly cling
ing scales make 1t q. hard fish to
dress.
It has been found that yellow
perch can be successfully introduced
into new locations. The egg masses
may be found In shallow waters as
soon as the ice has melted. These
eggs are laid IA xigzag bands. A.

soon as they absorb water. they
grow to large masses, and may be
taken to other waters to hatch.
They also may be removed from the
water, Matched in indoor hatcheries,
and the young fry introduced to
local ponds or streams. Indeed, the
yellow perch is one Of the easiest
Of all fish to plant" and there is
no reason why this form Of farm
ing" should not be done more ex-
tensively by amateurs.
Yellow perch always run in
schools In water Of moderate depths.
They are easily recognized by their
cross-bands of black against q yel-
low background. There is no other
native fresh-water fish that wears
this handsome livery.
All the smaller forms Of fresh
water life are quite acceptable to
perch as food. They have what
may be termed a coming appetite" /"
always being eager to feast and
never willing to stop 50 long as
there Is any food in sight. This
trait accounts for the ease with
which beginners catch yellow perch.

that he dared meet the strange
creature which Peter Rabbit and
Unc' Billy Possum both claimed
to have seen there. With tagging
steps he sneaked along from tree
to tree, peering out from behind
each anxiously, afraid to go on and
still more afraid not to for fear
that he would be called a coward.
He had almost reached the foot
Of the hill without seeing anything
out of the usual, and without any
signs of Unc' Billy Postum He was
just beginning to hope that Unc'
Billy Possum wasn't there, as he
said he would be, when a voice right

grin. There sat Unc' Billy Possum
in pine tree right over his head.
He knew now that there was no
backing out; he had to go on. He
tried to swagger and look very
bold and brave.
'I told you I'm not afraid If
there's anything queer around here
I'll find out what it is," he once
more boasted, but Unc' Billy noticed
that his voice sounded just a wee
bit trembly.
Keep right on to the foot of the

Unc' Billy.
