- The Great Storm. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Scorn the lazy and the shirk; Happiness is found in work. —Striped Chipmunk. As Striped &hipmunk had told Peter Rabbit, he had planned to start work on a néw storehouse that very morning—a storehouse for winter sup- plies. That was one reason he was 5o happy. No one knows better than does Striped Chipmunk how great is the joy of homest work, especially of work you like to do and can do well. So, instead of worrying and fretting be- cause he had that work to do, Striped Chipmunk was glad of it. Instead_of putting it off to the last minute, as Pe- ter Rabbit would have done, he could hardly wait to eat breakfast he was so eager to start digging. 5 He knew just where he wanted that new storehouse, and he had planned very carefully just where he would start in digging for it. It was to be the biggest and_best storehouse he ever had made. When it was-done he would have the fun of filling it. Peter Rabbit would have called it work, but Striped Chipmunik called it fun. But the best made plans of Chip- munks and men often are upset in the twinkling of an eye, as it were. Just as Striped Chipmunk was ready to dive down between the stones of the old wall and start work a raindrop hit him spang! on the end of his nose. ‘That raindrop was the beginning of the upsetting of Striped Chipmunk's| plans. That storehouse wasn't to be built where he had planned it. When that raindrop hit Striped Chipmunk spang! on the end of his ‘nose he jum up-on a stone of the old wall and sat up for a look around. Great clouds were piling up and piling up in the sky. Some of them Wwere very black with white edges. They were moving across the sky ry fast, for they were driven by-a great wind. Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun had disappeared beéhind them and every instant it was growing darker. Sharp flashes of lightning darted out from those black clouds. Striped Chipmunk wasn't afraid of them, but they made *him feel uncom- fortable at the pit of his stomach. And he didn't like the thunder that followed. No, sir, he didn't. The rain began to come down fast now in great stinging drops. Striped Chipmunk darted down to the en- trance to the long tunnel that led to his snug house under ground and whisked inside. “Let it storm.” said he. “Let it thunder and lightning and blow and rain. Down here I won't know any- thing about it. That is one of the advantages of having a home under ground. I can go right on working on that new storehouse just the same, A storm up there makes no difference | to me down here.” But for once Striped Chipmunk was mistaken. That storm is still known as the Great Storm. A great wind tore limbs from trees, pulled trees up by their roots, snapped others off midway of their eat {trunks, blew down fences and sheds and chimneys and did all sorts of harm. Then follogged a rain so heavy that it seemed ds if the sky must be made of water and it was all'falling to the earth at one time. The light- ning flashed and struck houses and barns and trees. Thunder shook the earth. And a great fear took posses- sion of all the-little meadow and for- est people, for never had they known such a storm. = (Copyright. 1921, by T. W. Burgess.)

No reply can Address Dr. Willlum Brady, in care of The St Active and Passive Perspiration. Popular misinterpretation of medi- cal procedure accounts for the fallacy : that one can sweat poison or accumu- lated waste matters out of the body. The amount of poison or waste : matter excreted in the amount of sweating you or I would eare to do in a day is scarcely worth consider- ing, as compared with the amounts excreted by way of the kidneys, in- testines and lungs. Anyway, it is not 80 much a question of how much of such poisons or waste matters we ex- crete through the emunctories; it is a Qquestion of how completely we can oxidize or burn up such poisons with- in the body. - _ Sweating is a good thing, however. Few of us do enough sweating for the good of our health. Somehow there is a silly notion that sweating is vulgar or unrefined; that is, active sweating. The same’ sad specimen that harbors that notion generally imagines that passive sweating, s in a Turkish bath, is not only a fashion- able but also a beneficial indulgence. The benefit, if any, is_psychological, not physical. PasSive sweating elim- inates even less poison from the body than active sweating does. Active sweating is the kind through your own effort. Active sweating is good because it is a pretty sure indicator of increas metabolism, which means more com plete oxidation or more thorough combustion, more life. Every one who is not physically disabled or restricted to rest by the order of his physicia should manage to do some active. sweating, in one way or another, every day., but more particularly in the winter time, as a sort of health insurance. - Sudden chilling of the surface fol- lowing active sweating is likely to cause soreness and stiffness of the muscles one has just been exerting. Some people like to term this “catch- ing cold.” Well, I have no objection to such description, if only they would limit the term to such a state. Sud- den chilling following passive sweat- ing is absolutely harmless and un- objectionable; indeed, it may be that safety.

Such chilling has, or should have, a lating effect, which' is shown b; i Y the pleasant warm reaction afterward. *Is a bath necessary after active sweating? Of course, not. Isn't the horse a healthy animal? amd all-he gets is a dry rub after a race. Is a bath, hot or cold or medium, safe after active sweatiig? That de- pends on the individual. If you are young and vigorous and sure of your reaction, then a cool shower is safe enough after vigorous exercise. If in doubt, & tepid or even a warm bath is preferable. Personally, I prefer a cool air bath, if I can get it, and a rub with a dry towel. = Should one drink little or much water when sweating, and cold or warm?

Can toes thus deformed be straightened, or is it better to have | them amputated? (8. F.) Answer.—The only cause I know for hammertoe is the wearing of shoes that are- too short or too narrow (pointed) or both. Usually hammertoe may be straightened by dividing the shortened tendon under the skin and retaining the toe in an extension splint for a period of ten days or two weeks. Any good dactor can do this, with local anesthesia. Father's Hiking Companien. I am a girl. aged thirteen, and rather undersized.

Sounds fine, doesn’t it? . No one has ever seemed to doubt the complete beauty of such N a motive. But I'm beginning to think that that very attitude toward mar- riage is one of the worst curses that could have fallen upon our national life. To marry with love is a beautiful and inspiring thing. But to marry for love is turning a reg-lar job into a penny ante game—and the will get. you sooner or later, as God made little apples.” The French have the right conception of marriage, whatever you may think of their way of arranging the pre- liminaries. So have the Chinese and the Persians and the Turks and the Zulus—when it comes to sizing up the job they have a saner viewpoint than the one into which we've drifted with all our mushy talk about “love.” Married life isn't and shouldn’t be all romance, any more than a dinner should be all cream puff. riage is one of the big, human, working partnerships; the bigge: worki; parntership. Like all working part- nerships it demands patience, skill endless labor and ingenuity. The French girl is taught to foresee those difficulties and prepare for them. So is the Turk and the Zulu girl. If they gain love also, they're just 5o much to the good. But the American girl is only taught to foresee love and more love. Or, rather, she isn't taught any- thing, but is left to form her own rosy visions. The visions of sixteen do not include monotony and d work, and when they come she is apt to take them as personal insults.

YEAST SOON BANISHES UGLY SKIN BLEMISHES When Taken With Iron in Convenient Tablet Form. Every one is now familiar with the splendid results brought about by yeast in treating such skin trou- bles as pimples, boils, black-heads, ete. But there were thousands of peo- ple who couldn’t eat common bak- ing yeast, due to its disagreeable taste. So it remained to certain scientists to find a way in which yeast could be taken in pleasant and con- venient tablet form. The result of their research is lIronized Yeast. which is the finest vitamine tonic treatment yet evolved. People everywhere are now taking Ironized Yeast and the results re- ported are almost unbelievable enly is Ironized Yeast fine for cl ing up the complexion: it brings equally remarkable resuits in treat- ing thinness, low vitality, nervous- weakness, poor appetite and other symptoms of run-down condi- | tion. Even after the first few davs people say they notice decidedly beneficial ~ effects from Iromized Yeast. This is because Ironized Yeast is rich in vitamines, which have been found absolutely essential to good health. Modern cooking robs even our best foods of these all-impor- fant elements, and as a result we be- come run-down, sickly, nervous and thin. Ironized Yeast contains a special- Iy cultured yeast. which is far rich- er in vitamines than baking yeast, and in addition contains organic or vegetable iron, the great blood- builder. So, if you are run-down, or if you suffer with humiliating skin | blemishes you owe it to yourself to | try Ironized Yeast. Ironized Yeast is pleasant to take, keeps indefinitely, and costs about the same to the dose as common east, but is much more effective.q ch package contains ten days treatment and costs only a dollar, or just 10c a day.
