OHNNY CHUCK had awakened too early after his long Winter sleep. He said so himself, and certainly he should know. He had awakenea too soon, for there was nothing to eat. At least, there was very little for him to eat. For a while he just had to get along without eating. This wasn't as diffi- cult as it sounds. It would have been | for you or me, but not for Johnny | Chuck. You see, Johnny had a lot | of fat left over under his skin, and | that fat was just as good &. food. So, | for a time, he could and did roam | about without thinking much about | food. But the more he moved about, the faster that fat was used up. It was used by his body to make the energy to keep moving about. The more he traveled about, the more fat he needed and the less he had. It was just like dipping water out of a pail and put- ting none in; after a while the pail would be empty. So the time was coming, and coming soon, when Johnny would be without any fat. > = It / - Hino; = BUT THE MORE HE MOVED ABOUT, THE FASTER THAT FAT ‘WAS USED UP. Then he would just have to find food. Day by day he grew thinner. Pretty soon there was little to choose be- tween Johnny and Peter Rabbit, so far as fatness was concerned. And Johnny was getting to move about fast. He wasn't quite as fast as Peter, but he was fast. Yes, sir; he was fast, very fast, for one with legs no longer than his. And, finding that he could get about so easily and fast, Johnny went adventuring. That is, he wandered a long way from home, partly in quest of food, partly because he wanted to explore, and | partly because something inside wouldn't let him keep still. Now for a Woodchuck to leave home &t any time is always an adventure, even though he goes but a little way. To go wandering, as Johnny was now | doing, was a very great adventure. Half the time, yes, most of the time, he knew of no safe retreat in case he | should meet Reddy Fox or Old Man | Coyote or a Dog, and there always was the chance that " might meet one or the other. He would just have to depend on his wits at the time, his wits and his courage. His first adventure came when he | end Peter Rabbit happened ‘to be | together. Perhaps they hadn't been watching as they should have been. Perhaps they were gossiping too much. . & strange Dog was almost before either saw him. It WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFI Registered U. S. Patent Office. wasn't Bowser the Hound nor was it Flip the Terrier. It was a Dog they never had seen before. He was a little bigger than Flip, but not quite as big as Bowser. Of course, Peter took to those long heels of his. He didn’t stop to say good-by, but at the first glimpse of that Dog, away he went, liperty, lip- erty lip. Quite naturall’, Johnny Chuck also started to run. The Dog looked at Peter and then at Johnny, and decided that he couid catch Johnny. So after Johnny he went. He had chased Chucks before, but never one who could run as fast as this one. That was because never before had he chased one at this time of year, one who was no longer too fat to run. Johnny soon found that, despite his fast running, the Dog could run faster and was gaining on him. In a few minutes he would catch up. . “T'll have to fight,” thought Johnny “Yes, sir, I'll have to fight. There is no help for it. There is no hole I can get .nto. There is nothing I can climb. There isn't even something I can get my back against. That Dog thinks he’s got me. Because I'm run- ning so fast, he thinks I'll keep on running. The thing for me to do is to give him a surprise, a surprise that won't give him time to think.” So this is just what Johnny Chuck did. It is exactly what he did. He abruptly whirled and started back to meet that Dog. He ran straight at | him, gnashing bhis teeth and looking as ugly as only an angry Chuck can look. It was so wholly unexpected that the Dog skidded to a stop, took one good look at that angry Chuck rushing straight at him, turned tail and ran. Yes, sir, he did just that. This was & new kind of Chuck to him. He didn’t know what to make of it. So, with his tail between his legs, he ran. Johnny didn't follow far. The Dog stopped and barked defiance, but he didn’t come back. (Copyright, 1935.) Savory Shrimp.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, FROM one of the quilts which she had made Nancy had some polka dotted material left over. And from a dress which she had made for Joan she found some plaid. Using these small pieces she made up two sets of shoe bags for traveling. After the set of six was made she boxed it and put it away in her gift chest. Then when she heard of some one of her friends who was traveling across the continent or across the ocean she slipped the gift into the mail and there she was, receiving praise for always having a suitable gift on hand at the right time for the right person. But Nancy liked her gift chest be- cause it gave her an excuse for keep- ing up with every new idea, for using up scraps of material and for avoid- ing expense and worry when she was called on for a gift or donation of some sort. More than that, she had become a source of information and a court of appeal for clubs and guilds and church organizations which wanted to make some inexpensive but salable and useful gifts for bazaars. For the shoe bags she needed a piece of material, about 8!z inches wide and about 30 inches long. Each shoe bag held one shoe only. By separating the pair there was no in the shuffie of moving trunks and cases and bags. She bound the edges of each case with bias tape of a contrasting or harmonizing color. The tape which slipped through the small casing at the top was usually of plain white, although that could be of bias tape. In that case the raw edges would have to be folded in and the tape folded back on itself to make it strong and to prevent fraying. The exact size of the bag is given in the direction leaflet. shape and the appearance of the bag after the shoe is in and the top is tied down.

There it is often referred to as the redfish. It exceeds in economic importance all other species of bass to be found in that State. From New York to Texas, it is well known, and in Indian River is fifth in importance. You will seldom see it in Key West. The channel bass seems to be a year-round resident of Indian River, though it may leave it for a short time, if the water becomes too cold. They seem to be more numerous in the Winter and Spring in Indian River, and the spawning season is probably from Spring until Autumn. The abundance of food about it gives the bass little concern as to where its next meal is to be obtained, for millions of mullets are in the same waters, to say nothing of other small fish, mollusks and crustaceans. The average size of the channel bass or red drum is from 4 to 5 feet long, weighing about 40 pounds. A bass weighing from 25 to 40 pounds gives the angler the greatest fun in landing it. The larger fishes are too coarse to be in much demand for markets. The smaller ones are always preferred. Still fishing with any sort of bait | offers great temptation to the bass, | if properly offered. The bait may be dropped to the bottom or drawn a few inches above it, to give the appearance of a lejsurely going fish. . The channel bass is not given to snap judgment, and does not take the bait hurriedly, then repent later for his foolish act. He tries to use dis- cretion—at least he takes time to| size up the fish before him. When | he finds he has made a mistake, he determines to die fighting. There is never any assurance you will be able to land your channel bass until you have it actually in your boat. There may be hours spent in | conquering the fellow, and if it is one | of those giant ones, the chances are he is an expert in maneuvers. You | can never blame the successful angler for wanting to prove his prowess as a fisherman by phtograph- | | ing the proof of his skill. The lovely grayish silver sheen of | w: describe four.

Cut out the full list below, to have handy nexttimethe problemarises. the channel bass also has a coppery red tinge. The scales have a center of dark spots, which cause an appear- ance of undulating stripes. On the caudal end of the bass there is a velvety-black spot. (Copyright. 1935.) Great-Grandmothers Alive.

OUR doctor will tell you that more than half the patients that come into his office have no organic trouble, but are troubled with various symptoms, because their emotions have kept them upset, It has been definitely shown that more than half the cases of “Indiges- tion” are not due to any organic con- dition—ulcer, cancer, inflammation of the lining of the stomach—but to emotional disturbances and wrong diet habits. “There are far too many people in life who are under the influence of the major emotions—fea ange; Do you know the flavor of these RED-RIPE BLUE-BLOODS?

These emotions interfere great- ly with the digestive processes and may be the cause of the ‘Indigestion’ of which they complain.” It may be that you are greatly en- joying food of which you are fond when you are upset by something which occurs at the table, a message over the telephone, an unwelcome visitor or other happening. Immedi- ately your appetite or desire for food leaves you and it may be that you re- gret_having eaten any of this food you like.

Now, it does not have to be sudden news or happening to cause “indiges- ;Mon." If you are under emotional |strain or anxiety you are likely to lose your appetite, and if you do eat, as the digestive juices do not flow freely, only a part of the food is ab- sorbed into the blood. 1t is eating certain foods when you are upset that gives you the idea that these particular foods “disagree” with you and that therefore you should not eat them. You can thus see that if you are often upset, or are under mental strain for any length of time {you would finally get to the point where scarcely any food would agree to the Heinz kitchens, sorted, washed, scalded, ind sealed in tins and bottles.
