Mr. Bowser's Catnip
He Gels a Load From the Country
ooo By M. QUAD ooo
HEN Mr. Bowser came home to dinner the other evening Mrs. Bow
ser had something to tell him and she began at once.
"Mr. BowBer, our cat la running mad. She has been acting the
strangest you ever saw. She has run about the back yard as If dogs
were after her. She has run upstairs and down and uttered yeowls to
make your hair stand up. I've had three or four neighbors In here
and every one tells mo that we ought to turn her over to the police
and have her shot. She ran Into the library half an hour ago and
I shut the doors on her. I wish you would do something before dinner."
"Let her alone till afterward," he replied. "She probably has got a fit of
some kind and I think I can bring her out of It."
When the Bowsers went up to the sitting room he took a look Into the li
brary. The cat was Indulging In a sort of war dance in the middle of the floor
and he had to close the door quickly as she made for him. He said he would I
go over to the drug store and see If he could get some remedy. He went over '
and suited t.'ie case and the druggist replied:
"Not one cat in a thousand ever runs mad. I'll tell you what I think alls j
your cat. At this season of the year every cat Is wild about catnip. It Is a '
tonic for them. If they don't get it they are liable to fits. I have got packages
of catnip, but the plant Is old and dry. You had better send the boy out Into
the country to buy you a bundle. Most of the farmers raise It, and when you
get it home your cat will go for It like fun.''
Mr. Bowser returned home and repeated what the druggist had said, and
added:
"I remember now how our cats use to act when they wanted catnip. I am
not very busy at the office now and I'll go out Into the country myself tomor
row. We will leave the cat right where she is and set a dish of water and some
food in tho room."
Mr. Bowser was up and had his breakfast an hour earlier than usual. He
looked Into the library before he went and found the cat in'about the same con
dition.
"I'll be back in the afternoon some time," he said to Mrs. Bowser, "and I'll
glvo our darned old cat a feast that will last her five years."
He took the suburban car and rode seven miles. When he got oft he made
straight for a farmhouse In view. There was an old farmer splitting wood and
every time he brought the ax down he uttered a vigorous "ha!"
BROKE INTO A RUN.
"How are you ye, stranger?" saluted the farmer. "What might you be and
what do you want?"
"My name Is Bowser," replied the owner of It, "and I am looking for some
catnip."
"I thought you might want to buy a farm and mlno Is for sale. But come
to think of It, I never saw a bald headed farmer yet. Why don't you try ?ome
boss medicine on your scalp and raise a crop of hair?"
"I came here for catnip, sir," replied Mr. Bowser with great dignity.
"Oh, yes. Well, I've got a heap of It back of the house. Your cat is gettln'
hungry for It, I reckon. You are a darned good man to come out here on ac
count of your cat. Come on In. I'll sell you all the catnip you want for ten
cents."
• Mr. Bowser produced the money and the farmer had soon got a whole arm
ful of the plant. He went Into the house and returned with a big sheet of pa
per and a ball of twine and soon had a nice package to place under Mr. Bow
ser's arm.
Nothing happened to that catnip until Mr. Bowser got oft the car to walk
the three blocks to his home. Mr. Bowser had scarcely left the car when a
stray cat came running toward him. He had scarcely noticed her when a
second cat came and then a third and fourth, and, Just as the fifth came up, a
pedestrian said to him:
"Old man, you have got catnip In that bundle. You had better get out of
here on the run or you'll have fifty cats around you In the next five minutes and
there will be such a row as you never saw!"
As Mr. Bowser could see cats coming from every direction he grabbed a O
handful of the catnip from the package and threw the rest Into the gutter
and broke into a run. Three or four cats followed him clear to his front
door, but he shut them out Just In time. The plant which he had brought
was thrown to the Bowser cat and her yeowls of delight went right to his
heart. After a minute he looked out and what he saw was a space of slde
Q walk and street covered with cats. They were fighting and clawing and
forty pedestrians were looking on, and a boy had gone to turn In an am
bulance call and ring out five fire engines. Mr. Bowser had had the nar
rowest escape of his life.
The Bowser cat was blind and peaceful and content within half an
hour, but It took the polled more than an hour to disperse that feline mob.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Scurvy During Infancy.
Infants and young children suf
fer from scurvy more than Is fre
quently realized. The cause of
scurvy Is due to a lack of acids
in the diet. A mild grade of scur
vy develops In infants who are
artificially fed on pasteurized
milk. Babies fed exclusively on
pasteurized milk need orange
juice between milk feedings to
prevent scurvy.
Young children will frequently
be seen to have spongy, bleeding
gums, swollen Joints and even
hemorrhage blood spots under
the skin, all of which are caused
by scurvy and all of which
promptly disappear when fruit
juices are liberally supplied in
the diet.
Children past infancy may have
any fruit, such as pineapple juice,
raspberry, blackberry, grape or
orange juice. Fresh green veg
etables are needed to keep off
scurvy. Spinach and lettuce for
young children and onions, aspar
agus, celery, tomatoes and cab
bage for older children. Give ev
ery child orange or pineapple
juice for its breakfast. Start the
meal with it and there will be
no scurvy.
A Habit Stanley Had.
It was remarked of the late Sir H. M.
Stanley during his last visit to New
York that he 6tood all the time with
his back to the wall during receptions
Instead of standing out where people
would pass behind him.
Lady Stanley laughingly explained
that this was an old habit contracted
In Africa—that Stanley always stood
with his back against a tree or a bar
ricade of some sort when brought In
contact with the savages, and it had
become such a habit with him that he
took that position no matter where he
was.
SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIN.
la Rivaled by Hainan Hnlr Wicr«
Dandruff la Eradicated.
Sealskin is admired the world over l'or
Its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of the hair at Its root. Newbro's
Herpicide is the only preparation that la
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan
druff there is no falling hair, hut a lux
uriant growth of glossy, soft hair is cer
tain. Scouring the scalp won't cure dan
druff. Kill the dandruff germ. Thous
ands of women owe their beautiful suits
of hair to Newbro's Herpicide. Sold by
leading druggists. Send 10c. In stampa
