What science has in mind is to breed oysters on a big scale, just as farmers regulate the number of young chickens hatched. The purpose is to change oyster culture from a gamble to a fairly sure thing. New underwater “farms” are being laid out and planted with oyster eggs from New York hatcheries, the same as lakes and streams are stocked with minnows.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON NANCY CLEANS UP SMUDGES What do you think Nancy and Nick and Johnny Sweep saw when they popped out of the stove in the Toy Maker's Shop, They saw Snitcher Snatch, the aseally little goblin, putting soot on all the baby dolls, There was a lovely French doll with a smudge on both her lovely pink cheeks, and Gretchen, the Dutch doll, with .a smudge on her apron, and Bobbie, the sailor boy, with his white duck trousers simply ruined. When Snitcher Snatch saw them coming, he scampered off and hid behind a baby carriage, but his nose was too long to hide and it stuck away out and gave his hiding hole completely away. “Come here, Johnny Sweep. But the goblin didn’t answer, “Come here, sir!” said Johnny again, very, very sternly. “There’s nobody here!” Snitcher Snatch. you're talking to.” “I'm talking to a bad goblin who is hiding right behind that blue baby carriage,” said Johnny. “I see his j nose sticking out.” At that Snitcher Snatch hopped out. “Oh, this old nose of mine! It’s always giving me away!” And he gave it a pull sooty fingers. “Oh, lookee!” cried Nancy laugh- ing. “Just look and see what you’ done! There's a glass in that doll- bureau. Your nose is as black as coal.” Now goblins are very vain, and Snitcher Snatch couldn't bear to think of having a spotty nose. So he turned to look in the little mirror behind him. Quick as lightning Johriny Sweep and Nick jumped at him and caught him and held him tight.. “Let me go! Let me go!” he screeched, biting and kicking and acting up about as dreadfully as a goblin could. “What’s all this?” asked the kind old Toy Maker sticking his head in. “What do I hear?” | “This bad little goblin was spoiling! all your nice toys,” said Nick. | “Well, well, well! That’s too bad,” said the kind Toy Maker. “Is he very bad? And are the toys very much spoiled ?” “You can look and see,” said Nick. “He's got. soot over everything.” “Tut, tut, tut!” said the Toy Mak- er to the goblin, “That's no way to act.

The mechanism centers in a group of cells called the respiratory center which govern the muscular move- ments in respiration and which dwell in the lower part of the brain, being known 4s the medulla oblongata. Control of the mechanism is tn- tirely unconscious and a camplete smoothness of operation is assured when regular usage is adhered to. This is one of the strong argu- ments for regular exercises, which enable a person to exert’ himself without discomfort. An active mus- cular life is a great aid to keeping the respiratory machine in good con- dition. i on ‘High, of” dead, ‘morn, , THROUGH AGES Centuries ago sturdy Norse- men reali el the benefits of health-building cod-liver oll Scott’s Eniulsion ings to you. the same vital- ty men of old— ‘strength.
