It was once agreed. by the Animals, the Birth; and. the Fishes of the Earth that all thould combine to warn each otbet of 'approaching danger, The Fiehes wore to send up bubbles when the Indians or other enemies came near, and the Crows were to watch for the bubbles and "caw" so that the Beasts in the forest might run to cover, while the Birds of the air sought shelter. Now tbeeEittle Fish heard"the other Fishes talking about the signals which Were to be given, so he thought he would have a great time all by himself, so be floated down the stream and sent up as ninny tiny bubbles as his little lungs would allow. A passing Crow chanced to see the bubbles and at once began to "caw" with ellehis might. The Birds from far and near flew through the sky at a rapid rate with a great "whir -r -r" of wings. The Beasts all scurried to coverteand made a noise of rustling , leaves and breaking twiggs, which greatly delighted the Little Fish, who i began to realize his power. When the Birds, the Beasts and the Fishes saw that there was no cause for alarm they went about their busi- pegs and kept silent all the time, in order to find out who had given the false alarm.

But the a Trout Caine up and said: "Where are the enemies which we are warned of? Tell me, since you are the last to seek cover." The Little Fish laughed a fish laugh and said: "I think it is lots of fun to see the Fishes and the Birds and the Beasts run to cover. I send up a lot of bub- bles and they all scurry to safety. -Why don't you have some,fun, too?" It was not long after this that the Trout saw some Indians coming down the river hank and he sent up such large bubbles that the Crow could not help seeing them. Once mote the Birds, the Beasts and th Fishes all ran to cover, and this time they were eafe.. But the Little Fish thought the Trout was having some fun and was only pleased to see how well the plan worked. At that „very moment the Indians came down from the woods on a fish- ing expedition and the Little Fish in bis glee did not dream of danger. The Indians caught the Little Fishl For one awful moment the Little Fish thought he was surely going to die. Then the biggest of the Indians said, "He is such a little fish; let us throw him back." And so back into the stream went the Little Fish, trembling with fright. And as he sank down into the cool, cool water he said to himself over and over again: "Nevera trick on others for ur Watch YoSneeze It may be the forerunner of bronchitis or a bad cold.

A medical correspondent in the Times says: "From the beginning of the war search has been made for an ideal antiseptic. This must satisfy two conditions; be powerful enough to kill the germs of infection in wounds rind as harmless as possible to the tissues of the patient's body. In par- ticular they -must be innocuous to the white blood corpuscles or leucocytes as they fight and kill the bacteria of in- fection. One reason why the old anti1. septics failed was that they tended to interfere with 'warrior' cells as well as bacteria. What was wanted was guns that would kill bacteria only and spare the warrior cells andatissues generally—a drug like Ehrlieb's sal- varsan 606, with a definite specille ef- feet on nothing else. That such n 'drug has been discovered seems clear from the reporb of Dr. Browning, dir- ector of the Bland Sutton Institute of clinical pathology of Middlesex Hos- pital which bus been presented to the Medical Research ComMittee. It is given in full in the British Medical journal, The drug is called Flavine from its yellow color. It kills germs causing ordinary abscesses in solu- tions of one part in 200,000, but in or- der to stop its actleities ori white cor- puscles it is necessary to use a solu- tion 400 times strongeia One in 500 carbolic acid prevents activities on white corpuscles, but it will not kill the gems until the strength of one part in 250 has been reached.

This line if; not so hard when the material is softly shirred and an additional price of plain chiffon is placed over the shoulder. Shirred pocicets at the ((Ike of the peplum, and the ribbon de- coration ending in loops below the belt, which is finished with a prim, tailored bow direetly in front, are special style features worthy of con- sideration, for they appear in many of the new models, varying according to the nature of the design. Blouses of satin and silk are also making their way among the very sheer materials which are now being used.

Girls upon the threshold of woman- hood often drift into a decline in spite of all care and attention. How often one sees girls who have been strong and lively become suddenly weak, de- pressed, irritable and listless. It is the dawn of womanhood—a crisis in the life of every girl—and prompt measures should be taken to keep the blood pure and rich with the red tint of health. If the blood is not healthy at this critical stage the body is weak- ened and grave disorders follow. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have saved thous- ands of young girls from what might have been lifelong invalidism or an early death. They are a blood -builder of unequalled richness, strengthening weak nerves and producing a liberal supply of red, healthy blood which every girl needs to sustain her strength. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have proved their great value over and over again to young women whose health was failing. Miss A. Stern - burg, Haileybury Road, New Liskeard, Ont., says:—"I have much reason to be grateful to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as they restored me to health, if, in- deed, they did not save my life.

Glacier Creek Lady Says They Have Been Her Stand-by for Sixteen Years and She Has Never Known Them to Fail. Glacier Creek, via Dawson, Yukon, Can., Feb'y 5th (Special.)—"North of fifty-three where doctors are long distances apart and those remedies that are a very present help in time of need are the reliance of the settlers, Dodd's Kidney Pills have es- tablished an enviable reputation.

Imagine, then, their indignation when they saw the enemy clamly crossing the bridge, every man hold- ing his rifle over his head with one arm, and waving the other frantically in front of him. "Here, I say, you knowl" called out the captain of the defenders, angrily, "you can't cross that bridge! Can't you see it's supposed to he blown up."
