One day there was to be a pony race and the people called on Carrol and Winifred to run it. The boys got the ponies ready and the man gave the signal to go. Winifred started out on a gallop, whipping and kicking his pony. Carroll started out urging his pony and speaking kindly. Winifred's pony could not go so fast as Carrol's because he whipped it land Carrol did not. He dashed into the crowd and ran over a little boy. iCarrol went on to win the race. The judges decided that Carrol won rand the only reason was because Car jrol was kind and Winifred was cruel. I (Honorable Mention.)

Most women think they cannot help win this great war, but 'they can help as well as thos,e who go to the front and fight. The way for them to do this is to save. To save docs not mean for us to do without; we can have all we want, but save all we can. One way to save is to eat less wheat Popcorn Man. v i,inaerea vjuuiiuauu, 6w 12 r v--c Piainview. Neb. Blue Side. The popcorn man came along the fetreet shouting to the people to buy bis popcorn. When he reached a deserted corner sf the street he only saw two little ioys. He turned around and went up the street again, so he did not hear them whispering. "Oh J Tommy, I have a plan how we ean get some popcorn for nothing," Eaid Johnny, who was a big boy, with mischievous look in his eyes. "How?" 'said Tommy. ! "Just follow me and I will tell you, feaid Johnny. Tommy silently followed him, won jdering what he was going to do. They ran through a back alley till they came to Johnny's house. "Listen," he said, as they stopped a whjfe, "we are going to run fast, jquick but softly, up" the back stairs and get in mamma's bedroom." "I don't like to sneak into any house that way," said Tommy. "Oh, come on, you little coward; it's our house, and I guess I can go Sn it any time I want to," said Johnny. Tommy went, for he did not like to fce called a little coward. "Now," said Johnny, as they got (safely inside the bedroom, "we are going to put on a dress and be dressed tip like girls. For our hair we will (fix the hair switches on our heads Borne way and put a hat over it." When the boys were dressed they jstole down the street to the popcorn ban. "We want to buy four sacks of pop icorn." said Johnny. "Well, well, some funny looking jgirl," said the popcorn man, for Tom my's switch .was starting to come Wown. "Did you hear what we said? asked Tommy again. The man gave them the popcorn. Johnny and Tommy started to run. "Hey, come back here with the pay!" yelled the man. As they would -not, he ran after them. He spilled his popcorn and had to stop. When the boys reached home Tom my said, "I am not going to do such a trick again."

FOR BLUEJACKETS Americans Donate Twenty Thousand Dolars to Equip Shore Home With Yan kee Conveniences. MASTER WILLARD ANDERSON. Baby Willard Anderson, 6-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs, W. E. Ander son, 2715 North Forty-eighth street, measures closely to the accepted stand ards of the "perfect child" of that age. His father, a member of the police department, is not given to boasting, but believes his boy would win the blue ribbon in any baby show. Willard is one of the few eugenic children born in Omaha, and the proud parents are willing to match Willard against ony -6-month-old child in Nebraska. Willard is a robust youngster. He is not fondled or coddled, nor does he appreciated being "fussed" with as most children are treated. Talks When Five Months Old. The Anderson baby's measurements follow: Weight, 27 pounds; around head, 18- inches; neck, 10 inches; chest, 2Vi inches; waist, 19J4 inches; upper arm, 7 inches; wrist, 5 inches; thigh, 12 inches; calf, 8 inches; height, 31 inches. At 4 months Master Willard could sit up and take notice. At 5 mouths he could say "dada.". Although the child is only 6 months of age, accord ing to the Binet-Simon system of mental test he is nearly 1 year of age. . Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have not forced the physical or mental devel opment of the child in the least and have discouraged undue attentions from friends and relatives. They be lieve in natural development and maintain that mere prococity does not always indicate sound development. Thrives on Simple Life. Undisturbed steep, fresh air, well selected foods and cheerful home en vironments form the combination which gave this child such a remark able start in life. Mr. Anderson is endowed with un usual thysical strength and tempers that with a sunny disposition. While making one arrest he subdued two ferocious bulldogs before-he "got his man," who was in a barricaded house. Baby Willard was in a natural pose when the above picture was taken. He 1 wakes up with a smile and .goes to sleep with a smile. He cried once and that was when a hidden pin was caus ing him pain. Health, Hnpplnem and Old Aire. A woman haa declared that at 106 the Is In better health and happier than at any previous time in her life. Surely a woman who la healthy at 108 ought to be happj She would have to be hapy to be healthy. None but a happy disposition could carry one through bo many years. A Bloomy tem perament would strangle life out of the body long before the age of 106. The human body can no more thrive In shadow than can a rose. We live by desire to live. Enjoyment of and zest in life are a constant source of life supply. Old age ought to be the happiest period of life, particularly for a woman. If she has kept her mind active and has wisely refused to settle Into the dull rut that people al ways have ready for her, she can begin, in old age to enjoy life In earnest. In old age there is no more worry about the babfes. no more suffering for others. The children are grown up, and, if her part has been well done, they are a prop and a solace to her. Orandchlldren are a delight without the bitter, constant worry. . The woman grown old In years should be at her best mentally. 8he Is free to Indulge her tastes, enjoy a good book and the con versation of genial; minds... bread and more corn bread. We need the wheat to send to the allies. A way for the children to help win is to stop eating candy. Let us all try to win the great war by saving all we can. My Alligator. Ronold Bell, Fort Crook, Neb., Aged 7, Blue Side. My brother, who is a sailor, sent me a baby alligator about eighteen inches long. He sent it so that I got it the very afternoon of my birthday. He sent it from New Orleans. Its teeth weren't sharp enough to bite with so I handled it quite a bit. We kept it in a little pond by itself. We had it about a month and it died. The weather wasn't warm enough for it, or else it was handjed too much. Humor of the Trenches. From the trenches on the western front by way of Canada comes the story of a soldlor's narrow escape from death and the levity displayed by a comrade, illustrating how viewpoints change when men got on the firing line. I'rlratc Mac of an Alberta Teglment had a pious upbringing in his early home In Scotland, and Ills religious Inclinations did not des"it him when his family settled on a farm in western Canada. All through the war he carried Vfpurgeon's Sermons'' In hla breast pocket, arid occasionally he does somo preaching, with his comrades In arms as the congregation. Private ti. of the same regiment lacked the upbringing and the book of sermons, but possesses a sense of humor. The two were In a group restlng'and smoking when a shot from a German sniper hit Private Mac In tho breast, the bullet being deflected by the book. Fearing that Mac was about to Improve ttre occasion, O. "heat him to It," and In a fair imitation of his friend's best preaching manner, started in. "Oh. dear friends, what a blessed thing It was that our dear brother wasn't a-read-Ing of his Jjook of sermons as he ought to have been Instead of engaging In worldly conversation wtih sinful soldier men, for if dear Brother Mac had been a-reading of his book of sermons, where, oh, whore, my dear friends, would Rrother Mac (priceless old thltrg) have been then?"

The burdens of life fall from thnm gradually, and the peace of retirement from active duties comes upon them little by little and almost impercepti bly. Christian Herald. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Base American Flotilla in British Waters, Sept. 15. Twenty thousand dollars given by Americans in Lon don has been spent in providing a shore home for the American blue jackets in the destroyer flotilla based on this port. Its correct name is the United States naval men's club house. It probably is the most cheerful spot in town, for' it combines everything to make the American sailor as happy and contented as he can be thousands of miles from home. ,If it had been built in the United States this shore home could not com bine many more of the characteristic American features of up-to-dateness and cleanliness. It is steam-heated throughout, an almost unheard of lux ury in this country, and it boasts a restaurant that would make some of the leading American restauranteurs green with envv. It spells comfort to the sailor who brings his British tar friend there with a display of pride. Quick; Lunch Popular. The cooking is done in, full view of the diners on huge gas ranges of the most modern type. There is also a grill. 'A feature tis' a quick lunch counter patterned after those so pop ular in American cities. In two large coffee urns "is made the best of that beverage to be had in the port. There is some callVfor cocoa, but not much for tea. The culinary department it in charge of a commissary stewarr1 from the flotilla tender. , ' There is a piano player, two gram ophones and on special occasions a string orchestra from the flotilla tender. There are two dormitories in the club house, containing altogether seventy-five beds, designed to accom modate that many men ashore on overnighe liberty. These accommo dations can easily be increased to 100. There never has been adequate steep ing accommodation in . the private homes ashore. Adjoining the dormitory wings is a tiled bathroom equipped with six shower baths of the newest design. Heavy white porcelain j wash basins and other fixtures of the same mate rial help to give, the place a clean, substantial appearance. In one cor ner, is a series of steam pip.es for dry ing clothing and just outside this rooms are linen closets where clean clothing is kerr. Want Reading Matter. In another part of the house two American pool tables' enable the blue jackets to improve their skill with the cue. For the more studious there are several reading rooms equipped with a library donated by a British soci- 100,000 Youngsters Join the . ; Health Crusade in America New York, Oct. 17. American pre paredness on an organized basis has almost included the country's infant citizens with the development of the National Legion of Modern Health Crusaders into a permanent body. This army of youngsters already nunv bers 100,000 o, both sexes, ranging from S to 16 years of age. By the end of the present school year many times that number are expected to be recruited into the ranks from the 20.000,000 boys and girls of school age in the United States. The plan was suggested originally by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu losis as a temporary local feature of its fall Red Cross seal campaign. Be lieving, however, that the very foun dation of efficient national prepared ness lies in insuring the health of the children and that the best way to do this is by forming health habits and self-control through systematic dis cipline, the association announces its plan to bend every effort during this school vear toward getting the ma jority of the school children of the $ittlidau Glook Six Years Old Tomorrow (Oct. 22): Name.

Reading matter such as news papers and magazines are also sent to the men from London, but there are not enough to satisfy the sailors' wants, and they complain of an ab sence of reading material from Amer ica. To fill this want a movement is under way to interest Americans at home in sending old magazines and books to the men. These can be for warded through the American em bassy in London. country into leagues of Modern Health Crusaders. A Pledge. Each health crusader pledges "to do nothing that may hurt the health of any other person, and to help keep home and town clean," to do at least 80 per cent of the "health chores," or to sell at least ten Red Cross seals for the anti-tuberculosis fund, and, in general, to obey the crusaders' health rules. The "chores" number eight, includ ing washing the hands before each meal; drinking a glass of water be fore each meal and before going to bed; brushing the teeth in the morn ing and evening; taking ten or more deep breaths of fresh air each day; playing outdoors or with windows open more than thirty minutes each day; staying in bed ten hours or more each night and keeping bedroom windows open; sitting and standing straight, eating slowly and attending to ach bodily need at a regular time; frequent and regular bathing. These chores are charted on week ly record cards that are filled out by the parents, and on the basis of the percentage standing thus' earned periodical honors and titles, such as squire and knight, with accompanying medals, are awarded. The title of knight banneret, accompanied by a gold pin, is the highest rank. Programs. . . Some of the special programs of work suggested for the health cru saders, in addition to selling Red Cross seals, are fly and mosquito cam paigns, baby welfare work, clean-up week, food protection and first aid work- , . i i With the extension of the local leagues of the Modern Health Crusad ers in every school of the country as is planned, the United States will have machinery for an unbroken chain of health preparedness from 5 .to, 31 years. Between 16 and consciption age are such organizations as the Campfire Girls, the Boy Scouts, the United States Boys' Working Reserve and other military companies. A FAIRY STORY. By Paul T.

I am well past thre score years end want to say that I believe my own great physical Activity is largely due today to my personal nse of Nuxated Iron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron, I feel It is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be ised in every hospital, and . prescribed by very physician In (hi country."" Dr.sE.

And this, after they had in some eases been c'octoring for months without obtaining any benefit" Dr. Schuyler C. Janues. Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth'a Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, aa I ordinarily do not believe in it But in the ease of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory re sults. And those who wish to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." Dr. James 'Louis Beyea, for IS years Ad junct Professor in the New York Homeopath ic Medical College, says: "As a physician I have always been opposed to prescribing ad vertised remedies, and for fifteen years, while Adjunct Professor in the New York Homeo pathic Medictl College, I taught my medical students that such remedies were generally valueless, but in the case ot Nuxated Iron severe tests made on myself and numerous patients have absolutely convinced me that it is a remedy of most extraordinary merit and one which should b generally prescribed by all physicians. Notwithstanding the fact that I am nearing my 80th birthday, a abort course of Nuxated Iron has made me feel like a new man. Friends say, 'What have you been doing to yourself, you look so well and full of life? In my opinion there is nothing like organic iroti Nuxated Iron to put youthful strength and power Into the vein of the weak, run-down, injirm or aged. But beware of the old forms of metallic iron which often do more harm thap good. To be absolutely sure that my patients get real or ganic iron and not some form of metallic va riety, I always prescribe Nuxated Iron in its original packages." NOTE Nuxated Iron, which Is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggista and whose 1 iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians, both in Europe and in America. Unlike th older inorganic - iron products it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor up set the stomach on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy In nearly all forma ef indigestion as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have - such great confidence in nuxated iron that they offer to forfeit $100 to any charitable in stitution if they cannot take any man ot woman under 60 who lacks iron and inereast their atrength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double . your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by Sherman ft McConnell Drug Stores and all good druggists. SPECIAL TO PHYSICIANS: Doctor, when you wish to prescribe a true tonic and blood builder, on that puts th real "stay thrM strength and youthful vigor into the blood and nerves. forms of metallic iron, without success: if you have had patients complain of discolored teeth, upset stomachs, hardened, tied-up secretions, etc. from th us of metallic iron, again w suggest, try Nuxated Iron. Nuxated Iron will be furnished by any druggist en an absolute guarantee of success or money refunded.
