Every part of the Human
Bake Oven is constructed on
strictly scientific principles,
and the treatment is the out
growth of years of careful
research and study by many
|of the most eminent physi-
clans of the world. In all the
great conventions of physi-
clans this wonderful dry hot
air principle is advanced,
and patients sent to the HUI
man Bake Oven sanitar-
iums. There is "a reason.
Every effort to eliminate
disease germs from the body
is a step in the right direc-
ton, and when the body is
subjected to dry heat, vary
ing from 800 to 500 degrees
Fahrenheit, it is simply inn
possible for germs to exist.

Teddy was little white bear that l
have had a couple OF years anu ha9
been my constant companion put iast
Christmas when l went TO my auhlle
forgot my little Teddy. 1 didn't miss
him much except at nlght' for 1eouS
always slept with me.
one night l had such funny dream.
T thought my little Teddy was pulnnS,
my hair and trying to wake me up.
After I had opened my eyes Ieddy salu.
"Come. Jessie, I am going TO take you
to some of my friends, put l ,amgh mig'
warn you to be quiet and not laugh,
for they are sensitive and don't want
to be laughed at"
Bv this time had my clothes on, so
we started in the dearest little auto
mobile. The chauffeur was Llttle BOY
Blue, and he was cute as could De- W.
went so fast that I couldn't make OUT
the road, only that it was strange
to me. -...
Rv and bv we stopped at the funniest
house IT was a great big shoe where
the old lady lived who had so many
children. After we entered the 1unhy
little door, the children came running
from every corner of the OLD shoe 10
sneak TO Teddy The old woman mace
re cat some broth, but she put bread in
IL because we were visitors. AFTER talk-
inc awhile we got in the auto and start
ed off again. -.
This time we stopped at Little Jack
Horner's house, and there he was eat
ing his Christmas pie. While we We're
there Old Mother Hubbard came IN
with her dog, and he was showing OH
all his tricks. -, -
NV attention was soon called TO
Humptv Dumpty, sitting on the wall,
and he looked so comical l wanted TO
laugh: but remembered in time what
Teddy had said -.
At last Teddy said we must hurry,
because we had another call to make
vet. so we went to Little Bo Peeps
house. Just around the corner. Here
was the cat that went to London TO
see the queen. and standing up in the
corner was the clock which the mouse
ran up. Jack Sprat and his wyife were
at no peeps house. and I had a lovely
time and was sorry when the clock
struck l and Teddy said we must hur-
rv home. And with that | woke up,
and remembered was at Aunt Alice's
and didn't have Teddy with me.

very quaint figure. Her red petticoat
and yellow cap, and her gray hair, all
set her out very nicely.
''What a very nice little boy you are"
she said. Wouldn't you like ride on
my goose?"
"Oh, may II" asked Teddy.
So Teddy had long ride on Mother
Goose's goose.
Now we will go to the banquet" So,
led by Mother Goose, Teddy and Sim
pie Simon followed. At Mother Gooses
house a long table was spread. There
sat Old King Cole at the head of the
table, with Boy Blue and Bo Peep on
either side. Old King Coles face was
round and merry. He wore long
scarlet robe trimmed with ermine, and
every time he laughed he would snake
like jelly
Bow Blue wore a suit of blue satin
and held a silver horn.
Bo Peep was dressed with a green
petticoat and a golden crook.
Next to Boy Blue sat Jack Sprat ana
his wife.
All along the table were quaint peo-
pie. all of whom Teddy knew.
There was Contrary Mary passing

Ted to 30 Peep as he clamored back
into his chariot.
"Oh. yes she answered. I'VE all
hate laziness.
The next thing Ted knew he had
fallen from the wheelbarrow and was
rubbing his eyes and someone was
saying, Wake up, Ted" Ted did not
turn angel right away by any means
but gradually improved until he almost
hated lazy people himself.

Jack, being old, was stiff and could
hardly bow.
Il am very pleased to meet you." he
said.
"What makes you so old, Jack? l
thought Jack that built the house was
young" r

sadly; "but I've grown old"
Jack showed Teddy around his house.
There were the bags of malt, the rats
and everything just as Teddy had read
about it. They came back to the door
again.
"Oh, what is that noise?" cried
Teddy.
THAT is Mother Goose after her
goose 1t runs away every day" eX-

Il was very lonesome.
His nurse would not let him from

good time.
One evening he was sitting beside the
hearth reading a Mother Goose book.
"Oh, I wonder if there really are

"Of course not, silly boy" replied his
nurse.
Il don't believe what nurse says. 1

"Of course there are" said a tiny

Rode a 5roomstick

Dear Aunt Laurie:
7 have never written for the Junior
before. although I did try the Drawing
contest | have read the Junior every
week since 1t was begun and have en-
loved it very much. This vacation
am going to try every week.
Teddy lay musing one day IN qulet
shade. Suddenly he saw queer
shadow nassing over the ground. Look
ing UP, he saw an old woman on
broom coming toward HIM,
she stopped in front of him and ne
was SURPRISED to hear her say, 81 know
vou read Mother Goose's Tales ana
would like to visit Mother Goose's
land. SO I have come to take you
there. Come. hop. on my broom ana
we will be gone" ,.,.
Teddy obeyed, although not without
fear lest he should fall. The broom
ascended very rapidly: They soon
came to a large gate which stood open.
Entering. Teddy found himself in
new world.
"I am Mother Goose" said the old
lady. "and ! want you to meet my
children"
Then she blew loud blast on
whistle
Suddenly, to Teddys surprise, there
stood before him host OF people
shouting, "Welcome. Teddy! Welcome
to our land!" Teddy was bewildered,
but he recognized several OF those
around him. There were Little Boy
Blue, with his horn; Jack Horner with
his pie; Mary, with her lamb. and
many others. They evidently did not
expect Teddy to speak, for Mother
Goose said little Boy Blue, I will
trust Teddy to you. Give him the best
time that can be given to little boy

the fire.
Il can't come. I'll get burned" he
cried.
"Nonsense"' cried the little man.
Come along"
Teddy put his foot into the fire, and
it didn't burn at all. When they came
out the other side of the fire, Teddy
saw a beautiful field. The little man
turned.
See that house over there? That's
the house that Jack built" The little
man seemed suddenly to have grown as
tall as Teddy. The fact was, Teddy
had grown small.
Would you like to see it?' Simple
Simon asked.
Indeed 1 should" said Teddy, ca
gerly.
They walked down the winding path
toward the house. 1t was white, with
green roof and red window easements.
There were two stories.
AS they entered through the great
open door a man met them. He was
an odd figure. He wore a white suit
trimmed in red, and on his head was a

Now he watched the sunset in the
west How beautiful it is" exclaimed
Teddy, but it is getting late and I
must go home"
The sun had set when Teddy started
to walk home through the oak grove,
and it soon became quite dark.
Here and there he could see a birch
tree, which had a gastly appearance in
the pale moonlight, and in trying 10
avoid these ghostly objects he wandered
from the regular trail and soon realized
he was lost.
Hark What was that? Hoot! Hoot!
and two big eyes looked down at him
from the tree.
"Oh, MIR. Wise Owl" said Teddy,
'show me the way home"
"HOot," said the owl

SCHOOL EXHIBIT At
SEATTLE IS ATTRAC TIVE

Under large, twocolumn cut of
Miss Waite Holt of this city, the Seat
tie Post-Intelligencer of recent date had
as follows to say:
The school exhibit in the Hawaiian
building attracts more than ordinary
attention among the visitors at the
exposition. Many of the articles made
by children in the domestic art and
the manual training classes are ex-
quisite in design and workmanship
Miss Waite Holt, one of the pretty
Hawaiian girls who are hostesses at
the building, resigned her position as
school teacher to come to the exposi-
tions Yesterday she was often called
upon to explain the work of the school
children.
One of the things that excited the
curiosity of the visitors was the yell
low lei, or wreath, worn about the
neck. The lei is festive decoration,
used as an emblem of good wishes when
presented to a friend about to take a
journey, and is worn upon all festive
occasions.
''The yellow lei is made from the
lima flower, , said Miss Holt. "When
the flower is not readily obtainahle,
yellow paper is used to initiate it. Here
is a lei made by nine year-old school
boy who has written a composition
about it.
The boy has written as follows:
"This is a paper lei We like the
lima lei best The lima is the flower
of Hawaii. The flowers are very small
| and it takes many of them to make a
lei. These are lima flowers
A school girl of fourteen years sent
| the coat of arms of the Hawaiian royal
family, wrought in eolored silk. Be
meath the symbols were the words in
the Hawaiian tongue: "Ua man Ike ca
o ka alma ka pono, which, being in
iterpreted, means: tThe welfare of the
| land is established in righteousness.
A curtain made of the variety of
seeds known as "Jobss tears is one
of the most striking things. The kukui
nut is also used to make similar house
nold ornaments.
"The children in the Hawaiian
schools take readily to domestic art,
said Miss Holt. ''They display great
ingenuity in making lace and in doing
iihe Sewing 1HlS StIIp oI lace Wd'
made after a pattern obtained from {
small piece of altar cloth used by Pope
Leo XIII. The piece of cloth was hard
ly sufficient to give the pattern. bu

WHY DO YOU sCOWL?

Does it improve your looks7 Not
even so much as the thundercloud in a
summer sky, for it, at least, gives
signs of the sun behind.
Does it add to your popuIarity2 Not
while sunny disposition is the winner
as friend maker and keeper.
Does it heigh+en your charms? Not
to those who count sullenness the dead
lest fault woman can have.
Does it boost your chances in life?
Not with the man who has ever had
the ill-luck to employ a sulky worker
Does it keep you young looking
Ask the masseuse who has TO wage wal
on that heavy line between the eyes
and the crows feet at the corners.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-06-26

Does it make life sweeter? The
sweetening power of scowl is as salt
in the sugar bowl or vinegar in the
molasses jug.
Does it make things easier2 About
as easy as sand on bali room floor,
or running an unoiled jigsaw
Does it pay2 Not until crossness be
comes currency for content, and a
frown is peacemaker Tor a smile.
