LITTLE BEDTIME STORIES.
JOHNNY CHUCK is KEPT BUSY.
by Thornton W. Burgess.

Johnny Chuck is naturally lazy. You
see. Johnny has very simple tastes and
usually he is contented. He does not
have to go far from his own doorstep to
get all he wants to eat. He does not have
to hunt for his food so many Of the
little meadow and forest people do. and
SO he has great deal of time to sit on
his doorstep and watch the world go by
and dream pleasant day dreams and
grow fat. Now, people who do not have
to work usually become lazy. 1t Is the
easiest habit in the world to learn and
the hardest to get over. And SO because
he seldom has to work Johnny Chuck
quite naturally is lazy.
But Johnny can work when there really
is need of It, No one, unless it is Digger
the. Badger or Miner the Mole, can dig
faster than Johnny Chuck. And when
there is real need of working Johnny
works with a will. When he was very
tiny Chuck old Mother Chuck taught
him this:
when work there is that must be done
Don't fret and whine and spoil the day!
The quicker that you do Your work
The longer time you'll have to play"
Johnny never has. forgotten this and

How Design My Own Gowns
By Frieda Hernpel.

In this gown it has been kindly said
plicity which is the height of elegance.
Elegance does not necessarily imply
costliness. Elegance is simply the re-
suit of refined, highly cultivated taste.
This is the age of feminine independ-
ence. Well then, let us strive for the
dependence in our gowns and frocks, as
we'll as for mental and economic indie
pendence.
This is the day and the year of equal
ity of the sexes. The woman of now
scorns to be the chattel or the bond
woman of man. We rail against the
feminine parasite. Yet many who are
leaders in the cause of women remain
calmly the puppets of the dressmakers.
the chief of whom nowadays are men.
Just remember always that your dress
is part of yourself Work to make it
express your individuality.
In this gown j have striven for
mastery. Do you think | have attained
it? The color is delicate and elusive,
light green satin, which might indeed be
called yellow. Yet with a touch Of
mystery my main theme has again been
elegant simplicity. AS will be seen the
lines are elusive and changing, except for
the long continuation of the Marie An
toinette fichu, which falls from the
shoulders and follows the lines of the
long. clinging, narrow train. l had in
mind the general effect of ancient Greek
costumes when l decided on this gown.

cents These jugs. wide mouthed and
squat. are useful for slowing many things
in, for they keep out all odors which
sometimes affect cream, cuStard sauces
and other liquid food.
Glass doored ovens are one Of the marks
of the up-to-date kitchen. Glass doors in
different sizes can be bought to fit almost
any oven for either gas or coal stove for
moderate price Glass-doored ovens
can also be bought in several sizes for
use on top of gas or coal stoves Their
mometers. another piece of the modern
cooks equipment, can also be installed In
any sort of oven. Both these things are
great aids to good cooking.
Fireproof dishes are a necessity in the
modern kitchen. The fireproof pie plate
which is sent to the table in its nickel or
silver case; the shailow-eared dishes for
eggs, Welsh rarebit and dishes cooked
with cheese-macaroni or potatoes au
gratin among them ramekins in individ-
ual land larger size come In the small size.
Ragout dishes or casseroles for use in the

should be used to hold food which is left
over or fresh food for storage in the re-
frigerator 1t can be either odds and
ends Of dining room china-it generally
liz this-or else an inexpensive set of du-
rable earthenware bought especially for

sorts of food-shelled nuts. cereals. dates.
figs or other dried fruits, bread crumbs
and cracker crumbs.

when it Is really necessary that he should
work no one works harder than he does.
But he always first makes sure that II is
necessary work and that he will not be
wasting his time In doing foolish, I'M
necessary things.
And now Johnny was the busiest he
had ever been in all his life. If he felt
lazy these beautiful spring days he didn
have time to think about it. No. sir, he
actually didn't have time to remember
that he is naturally lazy You see, he
had family to look out for-three babies
to find tender, sweet, young clover for,
and to teach all the things that every
Chuck should know. and to watch out
that no harm should come to them. So
Johnny Chuck was busy. so busy that he
hardly had time to get enough to eat
himself.
Every morning Johnny would come out
as soon as jolly round red MIR. Sun be-
gan his daily climb up in the blue, blue
sky. He would look this way and look
that way to make sure that Reddy Fox,
or Granny Fox. or Redtail the Hawk, or
Bowser the Hound, or any other danger
was nowhere near. And he never forgot
to look up in the apple trees to make
sure that Sammy Jay was not there.
Then he would call to Polly Chuck and
the three baby Chucks Polly Chuck
and after her would come the three funny
little baby Chucks, who would roll and
tumble over one another on the doorstep.
When he thought they had played
enough Johnny Chuck would lead the
way along little private path which he
had made through the grass. After him
one behind another, would trot the three
little Chucks. and behind them would
march Polly Chuck to see that none went
astray.
When they reached the patch of sweet.
tender, young clover Johnny Chuck would
sit up very straight and still, watching
as sharp as he knew how for the least
sign of danger. When the three little
stOmachs were full of sweet tender
young clover he would proudly lead the
way home again and then. as before, he
would sit up very straight and watch for
danger while the three baby Chucks
sprawled out on the doorstep for a sun
nap. Oh. those were busy days for
Johnny Chuck and anxious days, too,
You see, he had not forgotten that Sam
my Jay had found out his secret and he
hadn't the least little doubt in the world
that Sammy Jay would tell Reddy Fox.
So. from the first thing in the morning
until the very last thing at night Johnny
Chuck was on the watch for danger.
And all the time, though Johnny didn't
know it, pair of sharp eyes were watch
ing him from a snug hiding place in one
of the old apple trees. Whose We're they?
Why. Sammy Jays, to be sure. You see
Sammy hadn't told Johnny Chucks great
secret, after all.

WHOLESOME FOODS
AT SMALL COST
BY j. A. HUSIK, M. D.
Milk,

Milk, provided it is obtained from
healthy animals and prepared and
kept according to approved modern
methods until delivered to the con-
sumner, is one of the best food products
known. Many have called milk a per-
feet food. But while there is no such
thing in nature as a perfect food-that
Is, food capable of meeting all the
milk comes nearer to that than any
thing else known. Indeed, it is pos
sible to live upon milk alone for a
comparatively long period of time and
not only remain in good health and
comfort. but also to gain in weight.
This is because milk is rich in all the
nutritive elements required by the
body.
The average sample of milk is made
up of lightweight parts of water and
twelve parts of solid matter This dry
matter consists of protein materials
in the form of casein and albumen
over per cent of the whole quantity
of the milk: fat. in the form Of cream
about 4 per cent and sugar OF mix
about per cent.
The above analysis clearly indicates
that milk is a rich article of diet. To
show further that it may be used not
only as a beverage III dOultlOH ~ otHCi
foods but as a useful food in itself,
the following extract from a govern
ment report is given. Experiments
were carried out upon students at a
university boarding house at the Maine
Agricultural College, and the extract
is taken from report based upon
those experiments:
First, the dietaries in which milk
was more abundantly supplied were
somewhat less costly than the others.
and at the same time were fully as
acceptable. Second, the increased con-
sumption of milk had the effect of ma
terially increasing the proportion of
protein in the diet. Third. the milk
actually supplied the place of other
food materials and did not. as many
suppose. simply furnish an additional
amount of food without diminishing
the quantity of other materials.
Fourth, the results indicate that milk
should not be regarded as a luxury,
but as an economic article of diet,
which families of moderate income
may freely purchase probable
means of Improving the character of
the diet and of cheapening the cost of
the supply of animal food"
There are very few persons who can
not learn to like milk. and children.
in particular. should cultivate a taste
for 1t, for. while it is not perfect
food. it is most surely very nutri-
tious one, readily digested. wholesome
and inexpensive.
