"I must have a took at the Muley Cow this very morning," Aunt Polly told her caller. "Won't you come with me?'' Mrs. Woodchuck said that nothing would pleae her more. So she or dered Hilly to scamper home. "You'll have to wait till I put on my best poke," Aunt Folty said. "If the Muley Cow has a new one I don't want to call on her in my second Mrs. Woodchuck waited. And at last they set off together to find the Muley Cow. They hadn't gone far before old Mr. Crow flopped down on a hammock near them. "If you're looking for the Muley Cow," he squawked, "You'll find her down near the lane. And she's wearing her new poke, too." They thanked him. And as soon a they had passed on Mrs. Wood chuck remarked what a busybody he was. "Always poking his bill into other people's affairs!" Aunt Polly sniffled. Still, his advice saved them a good many steps. For they found the Muley Cow just where Mr. Crow had said they would. But .she wasn't wearing a poke bonnet at all. They noticed that as soon as they caught sight of her. "Perhaps it has fallen off her head &tid she doesn't know it," Aunt Tol ly suggested. "I'll ask her." said Mrs. Wood chuck. And she hurried up to the Mulev Cow. "Where's your poke?" she cried.! Tou haven't lost it have you?" I As she spoke she noticed a pe culiar something about the Muley Cow's neck. It was a sort of huge wooden collar, with a long stake that stuck out in front of her. The Muley Cow acted very grumpy. "Don't be impertinent!" she snapped. "Excuse us, please!" Aunt Polly Woodchuck said to the Muley Cow. "We heard you were wearing a poke; and we wanted to see it. You know, I always wear a poke in summer. In fact, I put on my best one before leaving home." The Muley Cow stared at her in a puzzled fashion. And at last the truth dawned upon her. "You've made a mistake," she said. "You've misunderstood. It's not a poke bonnet that I have. It's a poke this thing around my neck." Well, Aunt Polly and Mrs. Wood chuck didn't know what to say. And they felt so uncomfortable that they turned away and started off. "Wait a moment 1" the Muley Cow called to them. "How did you hear abou this poke?" "Old Mr. Crow told me," Mrs. Woodchuck' replied. ' "I thought so,"' said the .Muley Cow, "And I'd like to have a talk with him." Copyright, 1922.

No two things which she makes are exactly alike ; there is the same variation in Feet as there is in Faces.

The weekly calls of Agents at the policy holders' homes provide a wonderful opportunity for health and welfare work. The Company has accepted the op portunity and to-day is at the fore front of public health work in America. 14,000,000 VISITS BY TRAINED ' NURSES. Free nursing service is given to In dustrial policy-holders in 2,800 cities and towns. Trained nurses not only heal the sick but teach right living. About 14,000,000 visits have been made 2,116,875 in 1921 alone. Num erous letters tell of lives saved. DISCOVERING DISEASE IN TIME Free medical examinations often dis closing incipient disease in time to cure it, are granted to Ordinary (annual premium) policy-holders,' subject to reasonable conditions. HELPING THE EMPLOYER TO HELP Emoloyirs insuring their employees under Group policies are advised re eardinz health conditions and accident prevention, while the employees re ceive the benefits of nursing service and welfare literature. 238,000,000 PIECES OF LITERATURE Attractive booklets and pamphlets in great variety, dealing with the im portant phases of health and disease. and prepared by leading experts, are distributed broadcast So far, 238, 000,000 copies have been distributed 25,000,000 in 1921. In addition, 18,000,000 copies of The Metropolitan, a health magazine, are issued annually. ) A CITY THAT IS WATCHED In Framingham, Mass., the Metro politan is leading the way in a great experiment, watched by health author ities throughout the country, to dem onstrate what proper municipal health regulation can da Deaths from tuber culosis have dropped from 121 per 100,000 to 40 per annum. HOW WAS IT DONE? Records kept by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company show an extraordinary' decrease in the death rate among its Industrial, or weekly premium, policy-holders. Com paring 1921 with 1911, for example, there were 55,000 less deaths in 1921 than there would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed. What brought about the great saving of life? The general public health movement progress in medical science and sanitation other causes, perhaps. But a very great factor has been the tremendous health campaign carried on by the Metropolitan itself. This page tells a part of the story.
