The mother Otter slid into a pond of water leaving the little ones on the highway. The party had lots of fun chasing the little ones. After a while tne little one was caught alive. It is a very interesting little pet. At first it was vicious and you couldn't get near it on account of it snapping at one. Now it has(hecome tame and lets people play with it without attempting to bite them and appears to enjoy petting. It drinks milk, eats hominy and fish and most anything that is prepared lor it.

Nine-Tenths Preventable Nine-tenths of all the diseases of the American people can be traced directly to constipation, doctors' say. Constipation throws into the system poisons which taint and weaken every organ of the body and make them easy victims for any germs which attack them.

Sophia Brunson) Good IXK>k?, Series No. 8.?Kxcrcise Proper exert-i.se is essential to health and good looks. , When God said to Adam: "In tht^ sweat of thy f?c? ahull Lituu eat bread"* the command was to the entire ra?e of men. Work is a blessing and not a curse. If the human machine does no useful work und gets no exercise, it deteriorates. The muscles become soft and flabby, the heart weakens and the person pants knd blows after comparatively little exertion. ^ In order to understand the necessity for proper exercise one should know something of the structure of the body. The muscles and boues together constitute the.,machinery by which locomotion is achieved. The bones are levers Which the muscles use in accomplishing their work. There are five hundred pairs of voluntary muscles which act ujron two hundred bones in the human body. Besides there are many involuntary muscles over which the will has no control. Among the latter are the viscera, such as the lungs, the heart, intestines, etc., all of which react to stimuli from the nerves. The voluntary muscles respond to the command of the will, while the involuntary go on working day and 1 night of their own volition.. Truly, us the Psalmist says, "we are fearfully and wonderfully made." If the heart, lungs and kther Vital organs should fall asleep oven for a few seconds and not continue working through the dark hours of unconsciousness, death would swiftly and inevitably follow. We see in this the Great Intelligence of 'the Oninini-A??nt Piwilni' t.rVi^v - ? w V?v..v vytvtiw/1, TTUV wvina in and through his creatures. The scientists cannot explain life or its manifestations any more than they can create it. To say that it is God's work is the only satisfactory explanation. But He has written His laws : in letters of blood upon our fleshly tablets, just as surely as He gave to man the Decalogue. The transgression of physical laws causes bodily suffering and disease, and so the character deteriorates when the moral law is flouted. We should know how the muscles act and the relation of their activity to the functions of the body. When the will bids the hand lift a weight, the muscles of the arm contract and shorten. They fill with blood, which gives the necessary energy for work. This contraction produces heat by burning some of the materials which the blood brings to the muscles. Active exercise induces fatigue This is caused by the carbonic acid gas that a muscle produces in burning the fuel brought by the blood. Heat is generated in this process. You can warm yourself by actively exercising on a cold day. The carbonic acid gas is a poison. It is gotten rid off by deep, rapid breathing brought on by the exertion. Deep breathing that is caused by vigorous exercise is more beneficial than shal-" low breathing, for it oxygenates the blo^d more thoroughly and brings nutriment to the muscles. 66 6 T?b,et* Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and cMcks Malaria in three days 666 also in Liquid.
