BURGESS |j| DANNY MEADOW MOUSE VISITS THE SMILING POOL Danny meadow mouse had taken It Into Ids funny little head to go over to the Smiling Pool. Just why he did It nobody knows. Perhaps It was he wanted to con sult Grandfather Frog, who, you know, Is accounted very wise. Per haps he wanted to cull on his big cousin, Jerry Muskrat. Perhaps It was because be felt uneasy and “What Are You Doing Over Here, Danny Meadow Mouse?” • wanted to go somewhere for n change of scene. Whatever the rea son, Danny unexpectedly appeared one morning on the bank of the Smiling Pool. The very llrst person he saw was Grandfather Frog, sitting on his big, green lily pad. "Good morn ing, Grandfather Frog,” squeaked Danny. Grandfather Frog turned about In a funny little hop of startled surprise and blinked his great, gog gly eyes at Danny Meadow Mouse. “Chugarum.’’ said he In a deep gruff voice. “What are you doing over here, Danny- Meadow Mouse?" "Nothing in particular," replied Danny. "People who are doing nothing In particular are very likely to get Into trouble. Don't you know that. Danny Meadow Mouse?" demanded Grandfather Frog. “Oh, 1 guess 1 can keep out of trouble around here. You’re looking very tine, Grandfather Frog. You slon’t look a day older than when I last saw you.” "I don’t feel a day older," replied Grandfather Frog, and Ids voice was not quite so gruff. You see, it rather tickled him to he told that he looked no older. “Of course I’m glad to see you. Danny." he con tinued, “but Just the same I think you are taking chances In coming hero. Longlegs* the Blue Heron comes over here almost every day, and I have an Idea that he would Just as soon and perhaps a little rather, have a fat Meadow Mouse for Ids dinner than an old frog like me." "I helievt* you’re not glad tc sec me at all," declared Danny. "You are trying to scare me." “No such thing,” replied Gramlfa (her Frog gruffly. "But I never like to see anybody take unnecessary risks. You know, 1 believe in safety first. Now what would you do If Beddy Fox should suddenly appear right behind you? You would he in such a tight place. There Isn’t a thing you could hide under, and hiding In the grass wouldn’t do you a hit of good, for that keen nose of Iteddy’s would soon find you." "Reddy isn't here, so what’s the good of borrowing trouble?" squeaked Danny. "It’s time enough to worry when there Is something 1 to worry about. Did you ever know a liner day. Grandfather Frog?" ©.

College-Trained Girls Seek Domestic Service A few years ago college-bred girls wi aid have disdained domestic serv ice. The depression has changed that—to some extent at least.

Under the direction of Miss Anna Davis, general secretary of the local branch, unemployed young women of higli school or college ed ucation, will be used to supply the demand for cooks, housekeepers, nursemaids, and companions to elder ly persons. “From time to time," said Miss Da vis, “young women, educated for a business career, but unable to find work, have told us they would take any respectable job, even though it entailed working in homes ns cooks, nurses, or companions."

(Use whut Doctors dd) Why do the bowels usually move regularly and thoroughly, long after a physician has given you treatment for constipation? Because the doctor gives a liquid laxative that can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced \osage is the secret of real and safe .elief from f constipation. Ask your doctor about this. Ask your druggist how popular liquid laxatives have become. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help, and the right amount of help. When the dose is repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until the bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without any help at all. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara, and these are natural laxatives that form no habit — even in children.
