Blacky Goes Home Happy.
BY THORNTON W. BI KGKSS.
No greater bappinesa In won
Blacky the Crow sat In the top of a
tree near the bank of the Bit? River
and Blacky couldn't make up his
mind what to do. He wanted to get
home to the big, thick hemlock tree
In the Green Forest before dusk, for
Blacky is afraid of the dark. That
is, he is afraid to be out after dark.
"Go along home." said a voice in?
side him. "There is hardly timfe Ijow
for you to get there before the Blaek
Shadows arrive. Don't waste any
more time here. What may happen
to those silly Ducks is no business of
yours and there is nothfng you can
do, anyway. Go along home."
"Wait a few minutes." said anotl^r
little voice down inside him. "Don't
be a coward. You ought to warn
ALMOST WITHOUT THINKING.
BLACKY SPREAD HIS WINGS
AND STARTED OUT FROM THE
TREE.

waiting for them. Is it true that it
is no business of yours what happens
to those Ducks? Think again, Blacky;
think again. It is the duty of each
one who sees a common danger to
warn his neighbors. If something
dreadful should happen to Dusky be
cause you were afraid of the dark,
you never would be comfortable in
your own mind. Stay a little while
and keep watch."
Not Ave minutes later Blacky saw
something that made him. oh. so glad,
he had kept watch. It was a swiftly

moving: black line Just above the
water far down the Big River, and it
was coming up. He knew what that
black line was. He looked over at
the hunter hiding behind some bushes
close to the edge of the water. The
hunter was crouching with his terri
ble gun In his hands and was peeping
-over the bushes watching that black
line. He, too, knew what it was. It
was a tlock of ducks Hying.
Blacky was all a-shake again, but
this time it wasn't with fear of being
caught away from home in the dark;
it was with excitement. He knew
that those ducks had become so eager
for more of that corn, that delicious
yellow corn, which every night for a
week they had found scattered in the
rushes just in front of the place
where that hunter was now hiding,
that they couldn't wait for the coming
of the Black Shadows. They were
So sure that there was no danger
there that they were coming to eat
without waiting for the Black Shad
ows, as they usually did. And Blacky
was glad. Perhaps now could give
them warning.
Up the middle of the Big River, fly
ing just above the water, swept the
flock, with Dusky at its head. How
swiftly they flew, those nine big
birds! Blacky envied their swift
wings. On past the hidden hunter,
but far out over the Big River, they
swept. For just a minute. Blacky
thought they were going on up the
I river and not coming in to eat. after
all. Then they turned toward the
other shore, swept around in a circle
and headed straight in toward that
hidden hunter. Blacky glanced at
him and saw that he was ready to
shoot.
Almost without thinking, Blacky
spread his wings and started out from
that tree. "Caw. caw. caw. caw, caw!"
he shrieked at the top of his lungs,
"("aw. caw. caw. caw, caw!" It was
his danger cry, that everybody on the
tlreen Meadows and in the Green For
est knows.
Instantly Dusky turned upward and
began to climp up, up, up. the other
ducks following him, until, as they
1 passed over the hidden hunter, they
; were so high it was useless for h'\m
| to shoot. He did put up his gun and
aim at them, but he didn't shoot. You
I see. he didn't want to frighten them
so that they would not return. Then
' the flock turned and started o!T in
the direction from which they had
come, and in a few minutes they were
merely a black line disappearing far
down the Big River.
Blacky headed straight for the
Green Forest, chuckling as he flew.
He knew that those ducks would not
return until after dark. He had saved
them this time, and he was so happy
he didn't even notice the Black Shad
ows. And the hunter stood up and
shook his fist at Blacky the Crow.

Do Not Sec the Light.
The joker law prescribing* so-calJfSJT
non-grlare lenses for headlights en
automobiles has done some good at
least. It has taugrht folks that glare
is bad for the eyesight. The harm
done by grlare is more tragically
pressed'in accidents on the road "jfl
night, but it is nevertheless mor>
widespread in the average parlor or
sitting- room where the family circle
spends the long* winter evening's?if
any such circles still survive.
It is hard on the eyes to have the
ordinary style of table lamp shedding
its glare directly upon the eyes of
those who sit at the table to read,
or study, or work at night. The lamp
should be at least half way between
the table top and the ceiling; that
is, the source of light should be well
above the level of the eyes. It is
far better to have a less intense il
lumination of objects on or around
the table, from a lamp near the ceil
ing:, than a brilliant illumination from
a lamp only etffhteen inches or two
feet above the table. In homes where
kerosene or oil lamps are still used?
and. so far as lighting is concerned,
these are as g-ood as any other?it is
worth while to install hanging: lamps
which will shed their light from a
point nearer the ceiling than the
table. The popular droplights or port
able gas or electric table lamps are
all very well for decoration, but not
at all desirable for illuminating* the
printed page or objects with which
folks work or play by lamplight. Side
wall brackets may be convenient for
attaching plugs or other moveable
utilities, but illumination from such
brackets is certainly a strain on the
eyes. ,
Let the light come from above, and
have it so arranged that you do not
see the source of light in your ordi
nary position at'work.
QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS.
Sterilising: n Brunh.
Kindly give me instructions for de- I
stroying the germs on a shaving
brush.?(J. R )
Answer?Boiling five minutes for J
three successive days is deemed es- j
sential for sterilizing brushes used hi i
surgical work. Some brushes are npt
! constructed to stand boiling:. A soak- i
! ing for twenty-four hours in a solu- i
, tiQn of one ounc? of formalin- (liquor
\ formaldehyde) in fotri* ounces of
! water, agitating: the brush occasion
1 ally, will destroy any anthrax spores.
! The formalin must be carefully rinsed
away with water before the brush is;
used, as is an irritant poison. j
Pretty Well Oxygenated,
Dors the fact that a person can |
readily hold his breath for forty- |
seven seconds and has a pulse rate of
sixty-two beats a minute indicate a
good heart??(G. McK.)
Answer?Well, it indicates that he
is either very much alive or almost
dead It is good evfoie '&r a sound
metabolism, a thorough oxygenation
of his system, or a moribund senso- j
rium. It strongly suggest* ?t hat his,
oxygenation apparatus is functioning
perfectly; that is to say. his respira
tion and circulation are going strong.
If there were anything seriously
wrong with his breathing ?or his cir
culation?lungs, heart, arteries?he
wouldn't hold his breath forty-seven ]
seconds. The average healthy adult!
can hold his breath forty seconds j
without preparation. This test is of ]
more value in estimating the condi
tion of the heart than is the mere
presence or absence of a murmur, for
instance.
All Equally Baneful.
Which is most healthful?steam,
hot water or hot-air heating for a
residence??(G. T^B.)
Answer?I think the least injurious
is the warm-air furnace, provided the
family has no fear of dire calamity
if the household temperature is kept
within ithe proper limits from the
hygenie point of view, namely, be
tween 64 and 68 degrees F.
Inherited Clothing.
i T have inherited some very fine
| clothing, shirts, hats and overcoat.
from a friend*who succumbed to tu
I herculosis. Would It be safe for me
! to wear these articles of apparel, or
I is there anything 1 can do to make
them safe??(B. J. W.)
Answer?Ordinary laundering for
the shirts and an airing for a day out
side, especially in sunlight, for the
hat and coat will make them per
fectly safe to wear.

We are all familiar with the "wam

of a primitive stage of civilisation.
The metals, precious and otherwise,

employed as currency. According to

Badly Shaped Eyebrows.
Whether the eyebrows are thick or
thin, whether they are light or
dark in color does not matter so
much as most women think. The im
portant thing: is the shape of the eye
brows. If they are badly shaped,
with hairs that grow outside the
proper arch of the brow, they simply
cannot be pretty. All this i? very
fortunate for the average beauty
seeker, because it is difficult to
change the color of the eyebrows.
but not at all difficult to change their
shape.
1 would not advise you to have the
eyebrows sliaved. This is a process
that was considered fashionable a
couple of years ago, when eyebrows
were only supposed to be the thick
ness of a pencil mark. It led to a
great many otherwise pretty women
completely spoiling their appearance
by having artificial eyebrows marked
on where normal and pretty ones nat
urally grew.
You can keep the eyebrows per
fectly shaped by pulling out ail the
ugly hairs with a pair of tweezers.
There will be surprisingly few that
! should be pulled ofct. Half a dozen
thick, coarse hairs growing too high
or too low will quite spoil an other
wise pretty eyebrow. It is easy
enough to pull these out, and when
they grow in agairv as. of course,
most of tliem will, to pull them out
once more. And her# is a suggestion
worth rememberiitfc* If your eye
i brows are very rough-looking rub
over them with a "bit of mus< ilage.
shape them as tln> muscilage dries,
and let them stay iflte this all night.
This daily treatment will do wonders
in training rough ofr coarse eyebrows.
H. V. K.?Almorwl"oil will not in
jure the eyes. Setyd a stamped. ad
dressed envelope/ ?li?t I will be glad
To mail the eyelaatf formula.
Bookkeeper?Your trouble is not at
all unusual for a young girl. but.
since the condition is abnormal, you
cannot enjoy the best of health while
it lasts, so I would consult the doctor
about it.
Some More Truths.
^yOULD you use a steam shovel to move a pebble? Certainly not. Implements
are built according to the work they have to do.
Would you use a grown-up's remedy for your baby's ills? Certainly not.
Remedies are prepared according to the work THEY have to do.
All this is preliminary to reminding you that Fletcher's Castoria was sought
out, found and is prepared solely as a remedy for Infants and Children. And let
this be a warning against Substitutes, Counterfeits and the Just-as-gooa stuff that
may be all right for you in all your strength, but dangerous for the little babe.
All.the mother-love that lies within your heart cries out to you: Be true ts
Baby. And being true to Baby you will keep in the house remedies specially
prepared for babies as you would a baby's food, hairbrush, toothbrush or sponge.

VFW' YORK;
A doctor in the house all the time would be a good idea. Tet you
can't afford to keep a doctor in the family to keep baby well or pre
vent sickness. But you can do almost the same thing by having at
hand a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria, because it is a wonderful remedy
for indigestion, colic, feverishness, fretfulness and all the other dis
orders that result from common ailments that babies have.
Fletcher's Castoria is perfectly safe to use. It i6 a harmless sub
stitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Children
cry for Fletcher's Castoria, and mothers recommend it because they
have found it a comfort to children and a mother's friend.
If you love your baby, you know how sweet it is to be able to
heip baby when trouble comes. You cannot always call upon a doctor.
But doctors have nothing but good to say of Fletcher's Castoria, be
cause they know that it can only do good ? that it can't do any harm ?
and they wouldn't want you to use for baby a remedy that you would
use for yourself.
