"Well, if you cannot break the spell
that holds her will you watch the tree
till 1 return?" said the prince.
'"Yes, 1 will do that" said she.
The prince went to the beautiful gar
den and knelt down by flower ana
said to the fairy guard: "Can you give
me something to free my princess IN
the glass tree?"
Eyes, take this marble and throw 1t
at the tree and your princess will be
free" So saying she gave him small
glass marble and he started out to the
tree. AS soon as he got there he threw
the marble at the tree. and it disap-
peared entirely and his princess stood
before him. They were soon married
and lived happily ever after in spite
of the wicked fairy.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day we went to visit my grand
ma and grandpa in the country, and
while there took some pictures. There
are many nice, large walnut trees on
my grandpa's S place which made an
excellent background.
I developed the plates at home, and
they turned out to be very good and
clear, SO L wanted very much to print
some pictures. returned from school
one day and began to print my pic
lures. Mamma said that it would be
best to wait until some day when l
was out of school to fix my pictures,
as they would not have time to dry
on the squeegee board because the sun
would not be warm enough.
1 thought that 1 would have time
enough, so I went on with my work.
1 got the pictures on the squeegee board
quite late, and then they couldn't get
dry. The squeegee board is tintype
plate with a very smooth surface,
which gives a glossy finish to a pic
ture. I was very sorry 1 didn't do as
manma had said.
1 had to soak the pictures to get
them off the squeegee plate, and OF
course they were not very good. I
had my own way and my pictures did
not turn out to be good.
1t always pay to do as mother says,
no matter how much we want to do
something.
Her way is always best. and when
we insist on having our own way we
have to suffer the consequences Your

The prince felt very sad and COM
menced to plan a way to free the
princess. He had heard of a good
fairy who could perform any magic
she wished with the aid of a small
gold cane which she carried with her
all the time. She merely had to
touch anything with the cane and it
would be transformed to whatever she
wished.
The prince did not know where this
fairy lived, but he found her after
hunting for a long time.
She lived in a little gold house
through a thick wood He went up
and knocked on the door and the fairy
came to the door. She was a beauti-
fuI little thing dressed in silk and was
about three inches high
He soon told her what he wished.
They started out after 1t was dark, so
that the wicked fairy couldn't see
them.
They soon came to the tree where
the poor princess was mourning. The
good fairy got the princess out OF the

FOOD QUESTION
Settled With Perfect Satisfaction by
Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy
all the members of the family at meal
time, as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordi-
nary food without causing trouble,
the food question becomes doubly
annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything could
get Tor him, 1t seemed.
HE was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would
go to work again, only to give up in a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
''Tired of everything I had been
able to get, for him to eat, one day
seeing an advertisement about Grape
Nuts, l got some and he tried it for
breakfast the next morning.
I'VE all thought it was pretty good.
although we had no idea of using 1t
regularly. But when my husband
came home at night he asked for
Grape-Nuts.
1T was the same next day, and
had to get it right along. because
when we would get to the table the
question, Have you any Grape-Nuts?'
was regular thing. So I began to
buy 1t by the dozen pkgs.
my husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. l sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something I
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same old question,
Have You any Grape-Nuts?'
''He got so well that for the last
two years he has hardly lost day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book, ''The
Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's

his lawyer took every advantage.
Before the final argument and hand

compelled to be absent for several

so word his telegram that the adj

The result was the awarding of a

value of their yearly store of honey

Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says:
From every large business center
throughout the country come reports
OF progressive improvement in trade.
In most instances the reports are
more than satisfactory; they speak
OF a present and prospective increase
in activity that is indicative of a
return to even more than normal
conditions. In some cases the vol
ume OF trade is described as equal
TO or in excess of previous records.
The wholesale dry good markets
have broadened, with some large OPP
erations in staples. especially cot
tons. Several sharp advances are
announced and many important lines
are Withdrawn or placed "at value"
Bradstreet's says:
Favorable reports are the rule in
nearly all lines of trade and indus
try, with conservatism, bred by high
prices of raw and manufactured
products. and full order books OF
manufacturers the only apparent
bars to an even wider distribution In
most Wholesale lines. Wholesale
trade in staple lines is good beyond

cause of the high price offered for
its leading staple at period Of near

A Leading Question.

A young English ;suffragette tells
of an incident that happened at a
meeting in the Scottish Highlands.
Speeches had been made to a
large crowd. Questions had been
replied to amid applause. Imbecile
young men making remarks about
minding babies and mending socks
had been silenced Then. just as
there was temporary lull before The
putting of the resolution, a great
bucolic Scotch voice from the back
of the crowd rasped slowly in with
the inquiry, obviously the result Of
prolonged rumination:
".Wha made mess of Adam?''
