"Hurzy, children, " and; gets 'your things. We're all going on a 'picnic." cried Mother cheerfully, rolling back tike steel shutters of our drawing room skylight. It was a lovely day with Pale yellow mustard clouds en• • the horizon and faint bursts of distant shrapnel o`er ReeseneRidge. Far off to the south wispy green,, --traces of a recent phosgene; attack — were rapidly disappearing. The sin 'was high. and there wasn't a plane in signt. My little brother Waldo was already in the hall trying on his new Model K5 Government approved gas mask and pirouetting up and down in front of the mirror with a heavy, ser- vice revolver, the little. rascal. "What about the five o'clock bar- rage, Mom?" called out Ethel from her s,ub-level boudoir carved out of solid rock just under the Grenade Room. Dad ;heard her in his study and laughed. "Nota chance today, dear. Gov- ernment radio says the Green planes won't be over until tomorrow. We've got the new ark III masks, our all- purpose .tourin tank, and the whole afternoon ahea 'of us. Let's go!" "But where?' asked Mother, a bit petulantly, I thought. Poor dear. She was so eager. What with all the housework and the afternoon phos- gene attacks, she really hadn't been above ground for a month. "Slut let's not go to the old picnic grounds," she added with a sigh. "Oh, don't be a gloom, Mother," called out Ethel, who was still listen- ing. ."I don't mean to be, dear. But I can't help recalling those radio gren- ades the Browns brought over last May. They ruined the best garden party' I've had in years. Twenty of farmers report several droves of deer.. One farmer on the ninth concession of Wawanosthi township stated that he saw six deer file across, the roads in- to a swamp. A farmer in Morrie Township related that one morning a floe and fawn were in his garden, and thatwhen 'ire opened the door they bolted away. The only reason that c.an be given for the unusual number of deer is the reported presence of wolves north' of here, who are chas- ing the deer south.—Clinton News - Record.

"There's a swell new bomb'proo'f for pienickers tb(sie in case of trouble, And. it will be nice by the water." We all thought 'Sia by's• hove a, great idea. There were just six of us in the €emile—Mother and Dad, myself, Ethel who was just eighteen, Arthur, twelve, and Little Waldo, who had brought down a •five -seater rplane on his eighth birthday, just a week ago. Not bad for a.• youngster. And we were all looking . forward to the pic- nic. • "If we go to Bixby's Cove," said Mother, "be sure and take th,e Worth; ington water tester along. Tthose Shel- ton children went in bathing last month without a tester, turned bright green, and died within a week. And I don't want anything to worry about today after that five-hour barrage last night. And that reminds me, Ed- ward, there was a direct hit on,,that new Roebuck armored cow pen. I think we need some new cows." Dad• grumbled a bit, bet he was soon ,bustling about the tank and call- ed out to me: "George, will you get aut the drills and tubes of cordite? And you may as well add a couple of trench mor- tars." "What on earth is all that for?" apked Mother, busily sorting cart- ridges on the library table. Dad grinned. "I thought if we went to the shore we might get a chance to blow up the Stimson's new boat house." Mother burst out laughing. "Why on course, the very idea. It'll serve that -horrid old Mr. Stimson right for putting that bomb in Grand- niother's convertible tank last spring. That was a lovely machine and cost Den more than $10,000." "Better take along some extra masks, George," Ethel cautioned me. "And Dad, how's about a emall tank of DX Mustardene. If these Wilson boys show up I want to give thyem a nice reception. They knocked off three of my escorts at the Country Club last. month." "Oh, forget it," bantered Dad, "you weren't eve'rt scratched, were you?" We were all in a merry mood, car- rying out baskets of equipment and stowing them in the tank, when there was a disturbance in the back ball followed by a loud report and Arthur's voice raised angrily. Wisps of blue smoke floated through the hallway. "Oh, dear," sighed Mother, "I wish those children would let Uncle .Ben's guns alone. I told them they can't be firce off in the house any more." Arthur came running out of the playroom pointing to a bullet hole in the r.eckb;ind of his new sweater. "Mother," he cried, "look what Lit- tle Waldo did!" , '•• "Waldo," said Anther sternly, "neat for that yoti can stay home and put new plating over the asearagus bed. Leek at that sweater!" , AVe finally drove off, and we were rnly stopped once when Old Agent K26 at the Camera gave Dad a sum- mons. for i t carrying a new Mark V Mode] IV Horne Owner's Dynamite faun in the tank. Dad forgot it in the kitchen ever since getting rid of Old Mae Illaekwel1 at. the Taylor's party. We iieittered gaily around the shell holes and, sped on to Bixby's Cove without further incident. How the old place had change -d! We hadn't been down there fcir a month and high explosives had done a beautiful job or. the hie cement dance pavilion and there must hive been two or three hundred bodies piled up against the old wharf. Mother was indignant. "What's the matter. with the Conn- ty Cleanup Squad?" she asked Father. "Why I helped `make Mrs. Preston chairman of the committee only last week( They can't leave people lying Alound like that. When 1 was chair - an," she added proudly, "we made a tour of the .country half an hour after every raid." "Oh, forget it," said Dad. "It was hie favorite expression. "Forget it.

Well we found a nice -stretch of beach and laughed and played games and spent only half an hour in the shelter while a squadron dropped some practice bombs in our direction and finally droned away. So we came out Again and Mother wondered what, Little Waldo was doing and finally we sat ground making plane to visit the Government's Century of Reaction Ex- position in October. "it ought to be marvelous," said Dad. "They've preserved five live trees for the main building and there is going to be several square feet of real grass, two stuffed robins, and part of a horse that survived the big Phosgene Wave in 1945." Ethel looked worshipfully at Dad. "Popsy, you've really lived a won- nerful life haven't you? What was this crazy old world like when you were a boy?" "Listen girl," said Dad affectionate- ly, "just let the past alone;—and be glad, you're living at last in an era of complete freedom. Frankly, things were pretty screwy when I was a lad.

And do you carry your troubles to bed? Does it seem impossible to "let down"? If so, wily not try exercise? Insomnia has many and varied causes, chief of which is the inability to relax. Mild exercises such as those described below are ,belpful in relieving nervous and mus- cular tension which contribute to sleepless nights. Do them just before bedtime. They are far more effective than counting sheep. • Lying in' bed, raise your left arm up straight. Stroke it passively with your right hand, massage fashion—got vigorously—maseagirg 'clown toward the left shoulder, This is not an up and down movement, simply rub from the finger tips to ;the shoulder. Ite- peat., the movement with the • right hand extended upward and rubbing clown with the left. Next, •from a flat position draw up the knees and place both hands on the lower right side of the -abdomen just at the hip. Rub upward toward 'the rigbt lower rib, tl.en. across to the left lower rib, then descend to the lett hip and across to the start- ing point„ rubbing slowly but firmly. Repeat twenty-five times, counting each circular movement completed. Fatigue 1-s one of the principal causes 91 sleeplessness. Today's Coo - slant drive of business and pleasure is creating a race of wren end women who are perpetually tired. Their un- dies become saturated with fatigue poisons and are seldom allowed en- ough rest for the restoration of vital forces. The hours of the night which should be, spent in sleep are given to amustmeets of extra work. Most persons who live under such a schedule complain of being too tir- ed to sleep. Of course they are, be- cause overexertion and overstimula- tjon of the nervous system brings on a condition of fatigue that makes re- laxation impossible. The cure of in- somnia.,in cases like this lies solely with the victim. He alone can change his living habits. Kidney Acids Rob Your Rest Many people never seem to get a good night's rest. They turn and toss—lie awake -- and count sheep. Often they blame it on "nerves" when it may be their kidneys. Healthy kidneys filter poisons from the blood. If they are faulty and all, poisons stay in the system and sleeplessness, head- ache, backache often follow. If you don't sleep well, try Dodd's Kidney Pills --for half a century the favorite remedy. 103 Dodds Kidney Pills ,uttr of Beet • i is wa :lis the Just ..layer 15 years ago motor were still being wade wl e v'- ea ne -Two or three thee.e a;) was -a goad Mileage -.for a Aire in bbose+ clays'.

Bearing in Mind the terrine wear, inl:poeed on the' tread of a tire, it Pray not appear surprising that the rub-. ber steps in a factory have outlived two sets of stone 'stew,. Or •that a rubber platform laid down at a big London terminus station,over 50 years ago is still going strong... An amazing teetiimony to the tough- ness of rubber is its use as a. lining for bald mills in • which metalliferous ores are ground. A proof of its extra- ordinary resistance is its use for bearings where water lubricant can be employed, as in turbines. At the' British Industries Fair .you could see gloves and aprons that will resist the fiercest ,acid known, and" gloves as the process of mastication supply us with this exercise which prevents tuoth • decay and spongy ,gums. Eat the crusts of your bread and the skin of baked potatoes; chew on celery, raw carrots, cabbage and other fibrous vegetables; munch crackers or nuts until they are reduced to a pulp. Although it has been fairly well es- tablished in recent years that it makes little difference in digestion whether we 'eat rapidly or slowly, on the other hand, if we chew well, on custy,-coarse foods, we give our teeth and gums the friction they need to keep them strong and healthy. Dance For' Health Dance for recreation. Dance 'for ex - et ore. Dance for health! This polau- lar form of entertainment is unsur- passed for developing grace and co- ordination. It will help materially to take off excess weight and is splen- did for improving faulty pressure. If your dance routines have become rusty from leek of practice, turn :ion the radio and try out new steps 'at• home. It's amazing how quickly you will lose the awkwardness that follows lack of physical exercise. After a few sessions you'll shake off the stodgi- ness that oh,aracterizes a non-active middle life. - Be Nice To Your Nerves Nerves are America's greatest bug- aboo. They are the excuse for bad temper, bad health, bad business r hip mina crept in fact for everything y"t g that is a stumbling block to a sense of well being. Primarily, learn to relax. It' may be difficult at first. but you'll find af- ter a sbort time that your nerves w!11 begin to pick up and take an interest in life. Let down whenever you can, even if it is only for a few minutes. Go limp. Sit, back in your chair. Close your eyes. Let every muscle in your body relax. Hours of extra energy will repay you for the short time spent in relieving nerve tension through complete relaxation. Strain- ed nerves are a hindrance to anyone.

JACKSON, Secretary Don't Eat When Angry When you 'are worried, frightened, angry, or over-tired—don't eat! Emo- tional upsets always lead to digestive upsets, for the process of digestion is greatly affected by one's state of mind. Re cheerful. Converse quietly and leisurely. Avoid all sources of he ritation. The dining room should be a pleas -ant gathering place, not a bat- tlefield. If you are angry or otherwise up- set, take a walk by yourself until your nerves and emotions are under control. When physically tired, rest for a little while before eating, 1f your fatigue is mental, take a few light exercises to help yourself relax. Nervous indigestioti and a chronic grouch go hand in hand. Fresh -Air Fiends The fresh -air fiend (there's one in every office) is a downright menace. He's the fellow who throws,'the win- dows wide open in zero weather and announces in righteous fervor that it's good for you! More likely he is invit- ing pneumonia end the undertaker. Fresh air is essential to life. We all know that poorly ventilated quar- ters are dangerous. But getting fresh air sufficient for the body's need daegn't necessarily mean that .we must subject ourselves to a chilling blast of wind. Fresh ' air is not es- sentially cold air. The rooms in which we work and sleep should be properly ventilated, but at the same time they should be kept warm en- ough for comfort. Sudden changes in temperature, especially when one .is not protected by heavy clothing, are apt to lea l to colds, influenza, or more soriot.s illness. Avoid all drafts - and all fresh air fiends - . . they are equally hazardous. • ' Teeth Are For Chewing When you think of an exercise rou- tine you undoubtedly consider Meer - else for all the muscles of the arms, the legs, abdomen, back and other paras of the body, but do you ever give a thought to exercise far your teeth and gums?
