Puppy never had seen any live
chickens she was afraid he might
chase them especially the wee
fluffy baby chicks.

to help his mistress pick some
flowers there were three little
chick6 in his yard, and Puppy
thought: why, those are funny lit
tie balls rolling around. Ill catch
one"

were frightened and ran peep

babies" and as Puppy looked
through the crack and shifted with
his cold little nose, the old hen
gave him a thrust with hr bill Oh!
how Puppy howled and rubbed his
nose with his paws, and rolled over
and over on the ground! Then he
barked long and loud at the old
hen. taking good care to stay out
of her reach But she went on
scratching up bugs and worms for
her babies and clucking to herself
as much as to say. "You inquisitive
puppy, maybe you'll let my chill
dren alone after this"

Mushrooms contain some nitro

not sufficient to take the place of
meat. In the manufactured articles,
macaroni, spaghetti, also some of
the cereals, contain the necessary
elements, with goodly quantity
of starch. Eggs, milk and cheese
may be added to this group. Then,
IL one understood the elements in
the remaining groups Of vegetables,
1t would be very simple to plan

What women do need to know Is
more Of simple food values and
right combinations of foods, so that
every member of the family is
equally well nourished; to interest
herself in careful buying and Sc
lecting of not too expensive meats.
Looking after the, careful prep,
