In such illicit trading there was a fat profit Between El Paso and Nogales there was no port of entry. The only custom-hous-e was a shack on the San Pedro river at the point where it runs into the United States. One of the routes followed by smugglers wound through Live Oak canyon. From it the descent to Tough Nut was by an easy grade. The longer he thought of it the more convinced he was that the raid was against smugglers. A pack-hors- e had accompanied the Norris party, probably to carry back the ailver. Moreover, the personnel of the group pointed to something other than cattle - stealing. Neither young Howard nor Kansas were top hands with cows. Why bring them along and leave an expert like Curly at home? From chance remarks Gray had gathered that Curly was the leader of the rustler group. But Curly was no wanton killer.

He could not be sure that his companion was not leading himjnto a trap from which hs would never come out alive. Neither of them saw any eign of another party. Finally they drew rein and dismounted.

If not, there is still timel You cannot finish the job in a few weeks, but you can make a good start. And you owe it to your children to begin at once. For whether they enjoy school or find it tedious, whether they make excellent records or lag behind their fellows, depends in large measure upon their physical fitness. Every child is entitled to good health, safeguarded by high resistance. And in this age of amazing scientific discoveries, every child should enjoy these blessings. Top health and resistance to disease are the result of an Intelligently planned and carefully executed health program. It should include proper diet, adequate sleep and rest, an abundance of sunshine and fresh air, freedom from physical defects, and the avoidance of physical or mental strain, or fatigue. punishment upon her children? A fine amount of calcium, high grade protein, and some of every known vitamin can be furnished so easily by providing children with a quart of milk daily either as a beverage, or in soups, cream sauces, puddings, cocoa or with cereals. flict such An Egg Every Day Eggs rank next to milk in importance, because of their protein, iron and vitamins. - A childs diet should normally include one egg daily, or at least three or four weekly. Green, leafy vegetables must not be neglected, as they supply iron and precious vitamins. Yellow vegetables, such as carrots and sweet potatoes are notable as a source of vitamin A. Fruits, especially the citrus varieties, are important for their vitamin C, which helps to safeguard the health of teeth and gums. However, tomatoes, or tomato juice may also be used as a source of this vitamin. Bananas are an excellent fruit for children. Dried fruits furnish iron and are high in energy values. Fruits and vegetables in general are likewise an Here's New Note in Filet Crochet Doilies the Key to Health Perhaps the most important factor of all is the carefully balanced diet.

Adequate sleep and rest, which do away are therefore essenHowever perfect the diet, overexertion and undue fatigue, if continued, will soon bring about a state of lowered resistance. In planning a program of daily living that will make and keep your children fit for school, put food first. " But consider also rest, fresh air and sunshine, and regular habits. It would be well, too, to check up on the childs general health before he returns to school, so that he will not be handicapped by some physical defect, such as bad teeth, diseased tonsils, faulty vision or impaired hearing all of which interfere with the ability to learn. Never forget for a moment that childs happiness and success are closely related to hls health.
