SLEEPY-TIME TALES
THE TALE OF
MRS.
LADYBUG
f 0&
CHAPTER V.
A Hard ShelL
Rusty Wren hurried home, carry
Ine Mrs. Ladybuir despite her (ran
tic efforts to etcapc. She wriggled
all her six leas at the tame tune.
"She'll be pleated with this one,"
Kusty murmured, as he watrhed
Mrs. Lad) bug's struggle. "Mrs.
Wren will certainly thank me when
I give her this morsel.
And site did.
"How lovely P Mr. Wren ex.
claimed when Rusty save her his
captive.
And he was so glad that he
liastened away to try to find another
iutt like that one. But he hadn't
none far before he said, "L'ghl- I
V4r.Wrsii will certainly thank me
when I flvt her this morsel."
hope I haven't made a mistake. I
don't like the taste of that beetle."
And he dropped down upon the
ground and carefully wiped his bill
upon the grass.
He couldn't help feeling somewhat
worried.
' "I don't believe the children will
tiotice anything wrong," he muttered.
"So far, they've never refused any
thing that was offered them. But ii
Mrs. Wren tried to eat that beetle
herself, I fear there'll be trouble."
And there was.v Rusty knew it a
few minutes after, when little Mr.
Chippy's son, Chippy, jr., came flit
ting up and peeped in his childish
voice, "Please, sir, Mrs. Wren wants
you at once."
There was nothing to do except to
go home. And Rusty went.
He found Mrs. Wren much up
set! "Are vox "int to po:son us?"
she demanded.
"No, indeed--my lovel" Rusty
Wren icplied meekly.
"Well, you made a terrible mis
take, then," she declared. Mean
while Rusty Wren was looking ail
around, Yet he couldn't see the
pretty beetle (meaning Mrs. Lady-
hug) aiiy. -ust
have swallowed it anyhow," he
thought. .
"You must be more careful," hjs
wife told him severely. "That was
a horrid tasting beetle that you
brought home. It's lucky I discov
ered that it was a queer one. The
children poor dears! are so hun
gry that any one of them would have
bolted it had I offered it to him."
' "Then you ate it yourself," Rusty
Wren faltered. ....
"Oh, no, I didn't," said his wife.
"I' dropped it uoon thfi-ground. And
110 doubt I'd thrown it awav any
how, no matter how it tasted."
"Why?" he asked her. "I thought
it 'was a pretty beetle."
"It was pretty enough I dare
say," Mrs. Wren replied. "But it
had a very hard shell. It wouldn t
have1 been safe to feed it to the chil
dren. Nor should I have cared to
eat it myself." . ,
"I thought it was a pretty beetle,
Rusty said E.gain. "It was such a
gay -color bright red, you. know. It
seemed to me it would please the
children, and you too."
Mrs. Wren still seemed to be
somewhat out of patience.
"When you gather food for the
youngsters, never mind about ihe
color of itl". she exclaimed. "If you
want to bring them playthings, that s
another matter. But don't fetch
home any more pretty red beetles
for them to eat" '
"Very well my lovel" said Rusty
Wren And then he slipped away to
hunt for food, because the children
were still clamoring for more.
Mrs. Wren talked a good deal, af
terward, about her terrible experi
ence. Yet she never stopped to
think about the pretty beetle about
little Mrs. Ladybug. For Mrs. Lady
bug had had a dreadful fright. Luck
ily she wasn t nurr. out u y.
long time before she was her usual
busy, able self again. And later,
when she told her friends about her
adventure, she said that she couldn t
understand how Rusty Wren came
to make such a mistake.
"I supoosed," Mrs. Ladybug de
clared, "that every bird in Pleasant
Vallev knew I wasn't good to eat.

Robin tumbles out of bed,
Peels his shiny eye,
Tilt his little feathered head
Toward the frosty sky.
"Sunny southern skies for me
Till another Spring,
Winter's on the way," says lie,
"Goose is on the wing."
Long before a flake of snow
Mutters from the sky
Jenny Wren says "Time to go,
Goose is winging by.
Pack your duds and come along
To a summer clime,
Mr. Goojc is never wrong
And he says it's time."
Squirrel hustles all about,
Storing piles of food
That will last the winter out
For his furry brood.
Storms will soon be breaking loose,
Little time to spare;

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Rare indeed is the talismanic stone
which legend assigns for today: It
f is the star sapphire, an exquisite
gem of purest blue in whose depth
is lit a tiny gleaming star. The Scn
galese naively believe that the star,
which moves as the sapphire is
tarred this way and that, serves to
protect its wearer from harm and
the influence of the evil eye, which
we moderns term misfortune.
Lapis lazuli, sometimes carelessly
- classed as species of sapphire, is
today's natal stone. It possesses the
unique property of guarding its
' wearer from disease, an especially
valuable quality since those who are
born within tU span of the blue
- stone's - influence, are destined to
travel and adventure m strange
lands. "
Yellow, the sacred color of In
dia, is the hue prescribed by the
Hindus for wear today. Those who
observe this mystic rule, will find
success at the end of any journey
undertaken today and they will be
utitroublcd by accident or delay.
Reflecting the blue of the sacred
atones for today, is its significant

A Few Words of Encouragement
If you have never been sick and
despondent, you have no idea how
much good two or three words of
encouragement can do.
A good practical woman, not at
all given to moping or to indulging
in gloomy thoughts, was heard to
say that illness brought herjto com
plete despair, and one day she gave
up mentally.
She mentioned to a friend that
"she expected never to be any bet

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn
ing or broken out skin, the itching
stops and healing begins, says a
noted skin specialist. This sulphur
preparation, made 'into a pleasant
cold cream, gives such a quick re
lief, even to fiery eczema, that noth
ing has ever been found to take its
place.
Because of its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and heals
tbe eczema right op, leaving a clear,"
smooth skin in place of ugly erup
tions, rash, pimples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for im
provement. It quickly shows. You
can get a little jar of Meutho-Su!-phur
at any drug store.
such a cheery, bracing reply in a
warm, hopeful tone, "There, there,
you must not give up," and it marked
the turning point in the road to
health.
Every time she felt badly that
strong, smooth, happy voice rang
in her ears: "There, there, you must
not give up."
She did not want to give up and
she did not give up.
But it was the quickening force of
those cheery words which gave her
confidence and awakened her to the
fact that she must not give up.
It is said that a Yankee can al

which overcomes difficulties, now as
well as in days of the first "Yank."

CHIRpPRACTIC
Consists Entirely of Adjusting the Movable
Segments of the Spinal Column
to Normal Position
What Do Intelligent Investigators Think of Chiropractic?
The profession of Chiropractic, now legally recognized in many states and foreign countries as a dis
tinct method or school of healing, has emerged from the conquest waged by medical tyranny with bells on,
f so to speak. The result has been favorable to this new profession and helpful to the people who are deter
mined to break away from fossilized ideas and practices established and perpetuated by the medical
fraternity.
But Osteopathy and even Christian Science had the same fight to make a few years ago and won.
To the orthodox physician of the so-called ethical or regular school, the pill box and knife are the only
symbols of health. The decrease in drug consumption by the people of the United States has been fol
lowed by an increase in the use of toilet articles soaps, dentifrices and other cleaners and preservers of the
human body. It is in the most illiterate sections of the country where sanitary conditions are not enforced
that the patent medicine man and the pill giver gets in his work being ably assisted by the country news
papers, conspicuous mainly by the large amount of quack advertisements they print. The smaller papers
are in turn reinforced by the big city papers whose columns literally reek with impossible cures and
bought testimonials.
The most difficult thing about Chiropractic to the average mind is the name and even that is not
difficult when understood; in fact, the word has a rather classical derivation, being from the Greek, and
means, primarily, to do by the hand hand manipulation; or, as Mr. Webster defines it, "a system of heal
ing that treats diseases by manipulation of the spinal column."
But probably the most practical and informative definition given of Chiropractic was given by the
Supreme Court of Arkansas in one of its notable opinions. This definition is reprinted in part from Vol
ume 101, page 596, of the Arkansas State Report and is as follows:
' "CHIROPRACTIC (KI-RO-PRAK-TIK)
x "The science and art of adjusting, by hand, the displacement of whatsoever character that may occur in the human
body. . . The Chiropractor i a mechanic whose duty it is to see that the human anatomy is in perfect working order."
The late Elbert Hubbard wes a believer in Chiropractic and personally investigated its claims. In his
book, 'The Science of Keeping Well," he said:
"Above all things a good Chiropractor ha faith in Nature. He does not make the proud boast that he cure people. He
knows that it i Nature that heal. All the Chiropractor can do i to put his patient in line with the healing force of Nature.
Chiropractic never brings an adverse result. The Chiropractor does not pin hi faith in any tingle panacea.
"He aimply knows the physical fact that a pressure of bone on the nerve bring about a condition where the telegraph
system fail to act properly. With (killed manipulation by hand he brings about right relationship and proper adjustment. He
find the cause and removes it. Chiropractors are not Doctor of Medicine. From them we get a new science which is adding
greatly to the happiness and welfare of the world." . "
If Chiropractic needed any defense the fact that Charles Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation; Clara Barton, mother of the Red Cross; Opie Read, the novelist; Miller Reese Hutchinson of
the Edison laboratories; John Temple Graves, editor of the New York American; Christy Mathewson;
Former Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin; Elbert Hubbard; ministers, congressmen and athletes galore, have
found merit in the profession is sufficient. Excerpt from Texas Magazine, August, 1917.
NOTE Since the publication of this article in the Texas magazine in 1917 there has been a substantial increase in the
number of Chiropractic practitioners, while thousands of other celebrities have been added to the list of those who have tried
Chiropractic with wonderful results.
