Indigo was the money crop when the French planter aristocracy owned plantations that stretched for miles along the bayous and lakes of southern Louisiana at the end of the Eighteenth century. Jean Etienne de Bore was no exception. De Bore was born in the Illinois section of the Louisiana Purchase territory. At the age of four he was taken to France by his parents where he received his education and later married into large colonial holdings. He returned to New Orleans with his wife about the time of the French revolution and established his plantation on what now is a part of Audubon park near the city Were safe enough in here, said Peter. limits. ter grinned at the thought. Then There he engaged in the planting he frowned. He did not want any of indigo. When a blight, however, real harm to come to even this old wiped out the indigo crops, De Bore enemy. Bang! Peter knew what that sound was. It was from a gun, a dreadful gun, and he knew that it had been pointed at the one who was r held running from that dog. I his breath as he strained ears to listen. Very abruptly the dog stopped barking. It must be that the dreadful gun had killed the rabbit and the dog had stopped barking because there were no more tracks to follow. Peter gulped hard once or twice. He couldnt bear to think of what had happened up there. Then Hurrah shouted Peter, and kicked his heels for joy. That dog had begun barking again, and that meant that the dreadful gun hadnt killed the rabbit after all. By and by he no longer heard the voice of the dog, nor had there been another dreadful bang, so Peter knew that Old Jed Thumper, or whoever it was who was being hunted, had fboled the dog and was safe. Later, as he sat on the edge of the Old Brier Patch looking toward the Old Pasture, he saw a man with a gun on his shoulder and a dog at his heels coming toward the dear Old Brier Patch. He watched them for a few minutes, then he turned and warned little Mrs. Peter to keep out of sight. Were safe enough in here, said Peter, but we wont be safe now anywhere outside of the dear old Brier Patch. I Im almost glad of it, said little Mrs. Peter, for now I guess youll stay at home instead of wandering about the way you have been - 1 ", and the other planters were faced with bankruptcy. Many planters already had tried to granulate sugar from cane juice, but their experiments failed time after time. De Bore, overriding the protests of his wife, decided to have a fling at the sugar business.

He was hunting, and that meant that some one was running to be for his life. Peter rather hoped that it was Reddy or old Granny Fox, but man is forever blundering in and upsetting Old Mother Natures plans, sometimes heedlessly, sometimes because he knows no better, and sometimes just because he wants to. It is just that way every autumn in the Green Forest, on the Green Meadows, in the Old Pasture, and around the Smiling Pool. Peter Rabbit knows all about it. Yes, indeed, Peter knows all about it. So does Bobby Coon, Uncle Billy Possum, Happy Jack Squirrel, Mrs. Grouse, and a lot more. Old Mother Nature meant that the autumn should be one of the gladdest times in all the year. Yes, sir, that is the way she planned it. Then all the little people who wear feathers or fur are through with family cares. The nuts and the fruits and the seeds are ripe and ready for the storehouses of those who are wise enough to gather and store them away. Everybody is fat. That is, everybody' who can get fat is so. Everybody has plenty to eat, and, after the storehouses are full, nothing in particular to do but eat and have a good time. It should be a glad time, a merry time, and it isnt. No, sir, it isnt. It is a time which most of the little people dread, and they dread it with a very great dread. Do you know why this is? If you could have been in Peter Rabbits place you would understand why. He was sitting in the dear Old Brier Patch thinking all over again of the things for which he had to be thankful when suddenly he heard something which made him sit up very straight and prick up his long ears to listen better. There it was again It was not the voice of Bowser the Hound, but of some other dog, and the sound came from the Old Pasture. Peter knew just what that sound meant.

Some of these are marked To the men serving on Home Remedies Koh-i-no- or of some ointment Any ache or pain in joints or muscles is treated by heat together with some pain relieving drug. Your physician is not likely to criticize any of the above methods of treatment except taking Epsom salts or other purgative for the pain in the abdomen. The abdominal pain might be appendicitis, and taking a purge is the cause of most deaths from this ailment In other words, the taking of a "home remedy occasionally is not likely to do much harm or hide any Where the underlying ailment. harm does occur, however, is the taking of a drug regularly or often for some ailment because the drug relieves the symptoms for the time being. Drug Obscures the Reason. Why is the taking of a drug regularly likely to do harm? There must be some reason for the headache, the pain in abdomen, the nausea and vomiting, the intense itching. If a drug is taken regularly and relief obtained the cause of the ailment is not sought, and the condition may become progressively worse, even dangerous. Thus the headache may be due to anemia or high blood pressure, pain in stomach to ulcer, pain in abdomen to gall bladder disease, or constipation. The point, then, is that while the use of home ren?dies occasionally should cause little or no harm symptoms which occur regularly or even irregularly but often should not be' g treated with drugs. A visit to your physician and dentist to find the cause of the symptoms is the sensible thing to do. ' j pain-killin- Drug Addicts Not Physical Weaklings of the impressions of drug addicts many of us have, is that they are thin, undersized, pale individuals. And we are apparently justified in this belief because of the hollow and pale appearance eyes present in so many of them. It is only natural, therefore, that we think of them as becoming addicted to drugs because they are weak physically, even if not weak mentally. It may come as a surprise, therefore, to learn that a study of the body build of drug addicts shows that they are not weak, delicate individuals but are of normal build. Dr. R. R. Brown, in Public Health Reports, Washington, D. C., reports the results of his studies of 400 native white addicts following their admission to the United States penitentiary annex. Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Every case was definitely proved to be a drug addict, not just an "occasional user of the drug. Measurements were taken of the unclothed patients and a record made of appearances. It was found that these drug addicts were not of the weak, thin, undersized type, but were slightly above the average in both height and weight Under treatment at the institution, there was an average gain in weight of about 6 pounds, after 5 months. What does the above teach us? The lesson for all of us is that the temptation to use drugs is not due to gross constitutional weakness of the body. It is something wrong' in our character or that makes us want to use a urug to put us in a dream state so that we do not ' have to face difficulties and trials. f'tNE mi-keu- p |
