Drownings are very common, end in most cases unfortunately due to care- lessness•, or indifference to circum, stances that are important. For in- stance, iivany people learning to swim are •enthusiastic about the progress they are' making and overestimate their strength in endeavoring to swim a longer distance each time. Begin- ners usually exert a lot of energy in swinimfii�g and become rapidly ex- hausted. It is therefore most noses -- eery to give attention to one or two points before striking out in the water. To begin with, a not for swimming should be selected where the bottom;can be comfortably reach- ed. In places where the beach is slop - Ing, every swimmer should make his 'efforts towards the shore and not parallel to the shore. It often hap- pens that the beach .slopes down more sharply a few paces further along, so after having made some progress in, the water, the swimming novice may be unable to touch bottom only a short distance from the starting point, Then there is the possibility of a level beach or bathing pond having holes or depressions which cause drowning ac- cidents. There may also be a growth of weeds below the surface in which Good' Tex$ 4 Boy' Scouts.

The real dogs of war were hardly the ferocious monsters that mythology has pictured. Even Satan, the little black dog that Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes tells of, showed in extremely trying circumstances none of the qualities that his name implies. Not far from Verdun a small town held an important position in the Al- lies' line. It was garrisoned by a few hundred French soldiers who had or- ders to hold out at all costs until they were relieved. The Germans succeed- ed in cutting them off from the rest of the army and placed a battery at their left to pour deadly fire into the town. The garrison might yet hold out if it could only let the French army, now two miles away, know the position of that battery. The telephones were destroyed, a shell had killed the last homing pigeon; but with the garrison was a dog trainer named Duval. He had been sent from the dog school at Satory, with two messenger dogs, Rip and Satan. Rip' had been killed in action, and Satan had been left with the French army two miles away. Du- val and the dog had many times walk- ed together aver the ground that stretched between them, and' the train- er knew that if a• message could be brought Satan could bring it. Again and again he looked across the she.i- torn ground, and at last he started for- ward with a loud cry, "Voila! Satan, Satan!" His companions looked, too, but all they could see was a black speck mov- ing toward them—until the black example furnished by the Boy Scouts. speck took the form of a black dog f Only a very small percentage of that seemed barely to touch the { them are ever reported, for Scouts do not talk about these things unless asked.

My liver was badly out of order and I was troubled. a lot with nausea.

I was just tired out and weary all the time and every now and then had such, a sinking sensation come over hie that I thought my end had come. In fact, I was almost a confirmed invalid and used to lie awake for hours at night worrying about my condition, and never expected to be well again, "But the way Tanlac has built me up has been really wonderful.

The men declared that he was flying. Some of them cried out that they could see his wings; but none of them except Duval believed that he could get through the artillery fire alive. And it seemed as if they were right: A missile struck him. Duval saw him fall—saw him stagger to his feet, con- fused and faltering. The man took his life in his hands. He leaped upon the parapet and shouted at the top of his voice, "Satan! Come! Mon ami, conte—" The dog saw and heard. With a frantic yelp, he got into his stride again. On three legs, with the fourth swinging helpless, he swept into the town, where a dozen hands were out- stretched to catch him, In a metal tube on his collar they found a message that read, "For God's sake, hold on. Will relieve you to- morraw." But the dog had brought something besides the message. What the men had mistaken for wings were two lit- tle baskets, and in each of them was a homing pigeon. The garrison could now communicate with the army. A duplicate message giving the exact position of the battery was fastened to the pigeons, one of which got through. Then the French artillery silenced the battery. 4eeaa w ody weii Right food. for the body is more important . thin right fuel for the engine. as a scientific food,containing all the nutriment of wheat and malt- ed. b?rley.Gra,.. e Nuts digests easiti-• Ind. opicIrly, builds toward health and. strength — and is delightful in flavor and crispness t+ ercfa Reason'/ r Gra nuts GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to children.
