—Danny Meadow Mouse.
Danny Makes Another Acquaintance.
'* Now that he had found a. pleasant
neighbor In Bob White, Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse began to feel
more at home. They saw Bob White
often. He was very neighborly and he
(lid all he could to make them feel
nt home. For a while he was the only
acquaintance they had. Then one day
they made a new acquaintance.
They #ere taking a nap in their
home under an old stump, when they
were awakened by the sound of claws
on the side of that old stump. “Who
do you suppose that can he?” whig
pered Nanny to Danny.
"I haven't the teast idea.” replied
Danny. "Whoever It Is, he has climb
ed up on top of the stump and Isn't
looking for us. Probably he doesn’t
know anythin? about us. We'll keep
perfectly still.”
So Danny and Nanny kept perfect
ly Still. They could hear someone
moving about on top of that stump
and they couldn't help feeling a lit
tle anxious. But they were as curi
ous as they were anxious. Present
ly a new sound reached their ears.
It was a voice. It had a most famil
tar sound.
"It's a .Squirrel!" whispered Dan
ny to Nanny delightedly. "Yes, sir,
it is one of the Squirrel family. We
have nothing to fear from any of
that family, so I am going out. I
am going out to make this fellow's
acquaintance.”

Nanny did her best to stop him, but
Danny wasn't to lie stopped. He
poked his head out and looked
around cautiously. Then, taking care
to make no noise, he crept out until
he was where he could look up on
that old stump. Sure enough, a Squir
rel was sitting there, a big, plump
Squirrel, with a bushy tall. At first
glance Danny thought right away of
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. But
he knewf that of course it couldn't
be Happy Jack.
"How do you do?” ventured Dan

voice.

Danny curiously. Then Danny saw
that this member of the Squirrel
family was different from any he
had ever seen before. He had a white
nose and white ears. Yes, sir, he had
a white "nose and white ears.
"Hello!’’ exclaimed the Squirrel,
with such n funny look of surprise
on his face. "Who are you?"
“I'm Danny Meadow Mouse. Who
are you?” was Danny's prompt re
ply.
"Who am I?” exclaimed the stran
ger. "I thought everybody knew me.
I'm Whitenose the Fox Squirrel."
Danny looked puzzled. "The Fox
Squirrel!" he cried. “Why. I know
ltusty, and he haa a red coat, and
he hasn't white ears or a white
nose.”
The stranger grinned. "That is my
cousin who Ilvea up. North I've heard
about him.” said he. "I'm Just as

IF BACK HURTS
Drink Plenty Water and Take
Glar s of Salts Before
Breakfast Occasionally.
AVhen your kidney* hurt end your
'^ack feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidney*
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep jour bowels clean, by. flushing
them with a mild, harmless salts
which helps to temove the body s
urinous wasie and stimulate them to
their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In 24 hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water—you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning for a few days and your
kidneys tray then act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
v th lithia, and has been used for
j ears to heip clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralize'
the acids in the system so they are
no longer a source of irritation, thus
often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; esc not in
jure: makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which everyone
should lake now and then to heip
keep \he!r kidneys clean and active.
Try this; also keep up the water
drinking, and no doubt you will won
der what became of your kidney
trouble and backache. By all means
ftavs your rhvslcian examine your
kidneys at least twice a year.
