"I have cream enough at home to make a good roll of butter, and you may help me if you will be very careful and work steadily." "I will be very steady," said Kat. "LET THEM CALL OR WRITE ME," SAYS U. HAYS Is Glad to Tell Anyone How Tanlac Built Him Up After Flu. "I didn't think I would ever be a well man again, but the way art- lac has built me up and given me such fine health in so short a time is something 1 can hardly under stand," said James S. Hays, a val ued emnloye of the Wilson Packing Co., living at the corner of Shawnee Roads and Coy street, Kansas City, Kansas. , "Several weeks ago when the flu was raginp so I had a severe case, and after I got up I found myself in about as weak and run-down a condition as a man ever gets in, why, my lower limbs felt like they would give way and I could hardly stand up. I was badly constipated and was continually having split ting headaches and awful dizzy spells. My stomach was all out of order and I never felt hungry, in fad, I almost dreaded to eat any thing, for I knew I had to pay for it in suffering. I would bloat all up with gas that would press in close around my heart and nearly shut off my breath entirely. I had such severe pains across the small of my back it was next to impos sible for me to sleep good many nights. It looked like I was grow ing weaker every day and I became alarmed over my condition. "One day my foreman came to me and told me what Tanlac had done for him and advised me to try it. I got a bottle right away ar-.d before I had finished half of it my appetite got a new start and I was feeling better and stronger. And noAv I have taken four bottles and it is remarkable what a differ ence it has made in me. Eat, why, I eat like a bear and the beauty of it is that I never troubled after wards at all. My constipation has been entirely relieved and I am free from those headaches and dizzy spells. The pains have left my back and I sleep like a log every night. I have gained eight or nine pounds in weight and have been built up in every way and am work ing hard every day. My general health is better than it has been for many years, and if anybody wants to get it direct from me what I think of Tanlac, just tell them to call me or write me." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores,- Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy.

Every mother knows that the con stant care, lifting the baby, and loss of sleep, with sometimes prolonged nursing, are a severe strain on the mother's system. .

"All Dutch girls must know how to make good butter and cheese," said Vrouw Veddcr. "And boys can drink the . butter milk," said Kit. "I'll drink some, too," said Kat. "There'll be plenty for both," said their mother. When she had finished milking, Vrouw Vedder shook out her skirts, put the yoke across her shoulders again and lifted the large pail of milk. She hung it on one of the hooks and the brass milk can on the other. Kat took the small pail, and they started back home. The milk was quite heavy, so they walked slowly. They had crossed the bridge and were just turning down the road, when what should they see but their old goose and gander walking along the road, followed by six little gos lings! '0, mother, mother!" screamed Kat; "there is the old goose that we haven't seen for so long! She has stolen her nest and hatched out six little geese all her own! They are taking them to the canal to swim!" "Quick, Kit, quick!" said Vrouw Vedder. "Dou't let them go into the canal! We must drive them home." Kit ran boldly forward in front of them, and Kat ran, too. She spilled some of the milk; but she was in such a hurry that she never knew it until afterwards, when she found some in her wooden shoes! For Boys and Girls Wild Life of Forest Blood Is Not Always Red FRANCIS ROLT-WHEELER I wonder if you'd eat an oyster alive if you actually saw the blood being pumped out of his heart and into his blood-vessels? You would see it, if an oyster's blood was red. But it isn't, it's a very pale blue. Still, an oyster has a sure-enough heart, and, in a freshly opened speci men, you can see1 it beat. Some of the sea-worms have green blood, almost grass green, and their blood vessels can be seen as a deli cate green network. These are all the colors known to occur in blood; red. pale blue and green. Yet. after all, it is scarcely fair to say that blood is red, or green or blue. It would be closerto the exact state of things to say that the color less fluid of the blood carries a pig ment or paint along in its stream, much in the same way that mud is "K-s-s-s!" said the old goose; and she ran straight for the twins with her . mouth open and her wings spread! The old gander ran at them, too. I can't begin to tell you how scared Kat was then! She stood right still and screamed. Kit was scared, too; but he stood by Kat, like a brave boy, and shook his willow switches at the geese, and shouted "Shoo! Shoo!" just as he did at the flies. Vrouw Vedder set her pails down in the road and came up behind, flapping, her apron. Then the old goose and the gander and all the lit tle goslings started slowly along the road for home, saying cross words in goose talk all the way! Father Vedder was working in the garden, when the procession came down the road. First came the geese, looking very indignant, and the goslings. Then came Kit with the leaves all whipped off his willow switches. Then came Kat with her pail; and, last of all, Vrouw Vedder and the milk! Right Reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co. WHY? Why Does a Glow Worm Glow? Copyright. 1920, By The Wheeler Syndi cate, Inez The glow-worm, os lightning bug" as the species known to the United States, is generally known, is supplied with its tiny lantern in order to indicate the location of the female insett. In the family of glow-worms, found principally in England, the male is equipped with wings, while the female resembles a caterpillar and remains upon the ground. To permit her to attract here mate and also to point the way to their home, the female has been provided with a pale greenish light. At night, when the male is flying around in the air, the female flashes her min-" iature lantern as a sort of guid ing star to prevent his getting lost. Members of the same species of beetle are also common in this country, where they are called "fireflies" or" lightning bugs." fn the American variety, however, both sexes are equipped with wings, but the female is the only one who carries a light and for the same reason as the - glow worm, proper to attract the at tention of the male. The "glow" is only another manifestation of nature's continual attempt to make the female of the species attractive to the male. Tomorrow's question Why do onions make people weep? carried along by a muddy creek or river. This pigment can be crystal lized and it has a big job to do. On this red paint (or blue paint or green) is laid the duty of gathering to itself the oxygen that man, or shellfish or marine worm breathes i in. We take the oxygen into our ! lungs in the form of air. The oys ter, which breathes with gills, some thing like a fish, gets the oxygen from the water. Having got the oxygen, this col oring matter in the blood goes rush ing all through the body and gives it up slowly wherever it' goes. This is the fuel for the machine. It is like the air which is mixed with gasoline in the carburetor of an au tomobile to make a "mixture" which is exploded by an electric spark. There is nothing in the world which works so hard as the muscle of the heart. It never sleeps. It works a trifi slower when we are asleep and thai is all. It works faster in a baby than in a child, and faster in a child than in a grown up. By the time a boy or girl is 30 years old. the heart muscle has done its work of contracting nearly 500,000,000 times. Imagine opening and shutting your hand 500,000,000 times! No wonter the body needs fresh air in order that the red coloring matter may get the oxygen to the muscles and the nerves which do all our body's work.

Parksr School.)' Adventure and Geography are brothers. Every time that one tries to find the, "why"' of something in geography, one is led into adven ture. , Look at the great cities of the world! If you try to find out why they have been built on the sites you find On the map, you will soon see that their locations are due to one thing a natural road. Every great city of the world has been built be cause its site was a .plac easily to be reached. All the great cities of the world, therefore, are either on a sea-coast, on a river, or com manding a pass through the moun tains. Look at your map and see if it isn't so.

A little later he used pack animafs; again the smoothest road, with the fewest hills, meant that each animal could carry a bigger pack. In modern times, railroad engines seek the roadbed which has the fewest grades. Commerce depends on the sea, and so, in the United States, the great cities of New York and San Francisco have developed. America has a wonderful system of inland seas, and hence the importance of Chicago. The Mississippi is, in many ways, the greatest river in the world, and is dominated by St. Louis and New Orleans. The Rocky Mountains are a terrible barrier, but there arc two passes, one in Colorado and the other just north of the Colorado border; Denver was built to govern both of these. The early history of American cities is a series of thrilling tales of adventure, but the real underlying j reason for their location is that, years ago, the first traveler, whether i on foot, horseback or canoe, fol- ! lowed the easiest road, and camoed on the best spot along that road.

This is No. 4 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a com petent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's Vapo Rub may be of value in this condition. Whooping cough is the "mean est" N disease that childhood is heir to. While rarely fatal in itself, except to children under two years of age, still it hangs on so long the coughing paroxysms are so violent, preventing proper sleep and digestionthat when the disease does disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the air passages and after re covery this irritation frequently remains. During this period of conval escence the child should be most carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air passages regain their normal tone. A prominent authority even goes so far as to say "There is more criminal neglect in connection with whooping cough than with any other disease." While the disease is active, Vick's VapoRub usually helps to lessen the violence of the cough ing, but it is during , conval escence that Vicks is most val uable. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to 1.20 HVapoRub 30e 60c draw out the inflammation, at tract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve -the cough . In addition the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vapor ized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. Vicks should be ' rubbed in over the throat and chest until khe skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth ing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying swallow a small bit the size of a pea. Children's digestions are deli cate easily disturbed by too much "dosing." ' Vicks, there fore , is particularly recommended , since it is externally applied and so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects.
