MRS. GROUSE AND JUMPER THE
HARE HOLD THEIR BREATH.
(By Thornton w. BurEess.)'
Copyright 1914, by J. G. Lloyd.)

Hold your breath and hold it hard,
AS Mrs. Grouse and Jumper did,
And learn how close the hunter came
To where a-shake with fear they
hid.
1t was very trying. My, my. my.
I should say so! 1t was very try
Ing indeed. Peeping out from under
a thick low growing branch Of a hem
lock tree Mrs. Grouse and Jumper the
Hare watched a man with a terrible
gun coming nearer and nearer. Now
If it had been Reddy Fox or Old Man
Coyote coming Mrs. Grouse would
have felt sure that she could trust
to her strong wings to take her out
of danger and Jumper the Hare that
he could depend upon his long legs
in case they were discovered. But a
man with a terrible gun was a very
different matter. Shot from that ter
rible gun could go so much faster
than Mrs. Grouse could fly or Jumper
could run that they would have very
little chance Of getting away unhurt.
and they know It.
Jumper had whispered to Mrs.
Grouse to sit perfectly still, and this
was the very best thing they could do
The hunter didn't know that they

TO INDUCE SLEEP.

MO matter how unpleasant the day has
been, permit none but pleasant
thoughts Persevere until you have
formed the habit of going to bed in
happy frame of mind.
Do not go TO bed in a room where the
gas has been burning for hours, without
opening the window as wide as possible
and arranging it SO that there is a clrcu-
lation of fresh air all night
1t is much more healthful to sleep WIN
out a pillow, so that the head is on a
level with the backbone and the strain on
the muscles is relaxed. High pillows
push the shoulders forward and prevent
the chest from being properly expanded.
hard bed with light covering is best.
1t should be high from the floor and
pushed away from the walls on all sides.
not go to bed Immediately after studying
hard, as the brain is then in state of
excitement that will prevent sleep.
Many persons find that some light fruit
taken directly before going to bed induces
comfortable and sound sleep. Lines and
either baked or uncooked are good to
promote sleep, a hot bath is good. In ex-
IRENE cases a rubber ice-bag filled with
broken ice placed at the back of the
neck, and a hot-Water bag at the feet to
eaualize the circulation will have almost
immediate effect.
Gentle exercise just before going to bed
will often have the desired effect. Bend
the head slowly forward as far as pos
sible, then as far back as possible Count
twenty with eyes on the ceiling. Repeat
ten times. Another exercise Is to stand
erect and rise slowly from the heels. De-
scend slowly. Do this forty or fifty times
until YOU feel the. congestion of the mus
cles of the leg. Sleep will soon come
after this.

When you are baking a cake in a gas

will find this method not only saves gas,
but your cake will be evenly baked and
free from all burn; or if you bake IN the
range. leave the oven door open while
YOU are mixing the cake, to cool the
oven. This gives the cake time to ra'se
before the baking begins.
Ovens cannot be too hot for roasts OF
meat during the first ten minutes of bak-
ing. because the object is to form brown
crust over It, which will keep the Juices
in After that time the draughtS should
be closed, a lid removed from the top or
the range, and the oven brought down
to a moderate heat. If the oven Is not
hot enough when the meat is ready to be
put in, the roasting pan may be heated
very hot on the top of the stove, and the
meat may be scared all over its surface
there Then it can safely be placed in
moderate oven.

the housewife who looks well after
the health and general well-being of

The home dressmaker should equip her
self with as many aids as she can afford.
A. good pneumatic form will save hours
of worrying and much fatigue in a year.
A well equipped workbox and work table
are essential.
The woman who never has sharp pair
of shears, never has hooks and eyes
enough Of one size to be of any use. never
can find needles and pins and tape and
bodkins and bits of silk for facing, and
bits of muslin for lining, naturally finds
sewing nerve-racking task. And there
should be always handy a tape measure
that measures real inches-not one that
is marked off in small divisions which in
dictate somebody's ideas of inches.
One of the adjustable pneumatic forms
IS the best. Next comes the half form
that is not adjustable. But this is good
substitute. Each member of the family
that uses it should have a high-necked
waist lining made of some strong ma
terial and should put this on the form.
Then this lining should be padded on the
inside until all its curves are filled out.
The padding should be tackled in place
and the lining should be marked with the
name of its owner. Then when a dress
is in the making for her her lining should
be fastened on the form and her dress
fitted over that

DOG SWIMS RIVER

which has succeeded in swimming the
Delaware river, distance of more
than a mile. The dog had been kill
ing chickens and It's owner took il TO
the New Jersey shore to get rid of It.
Boudwin started TO row across the
river again, but the dog started af-
ter him. He turned ten boat toward
shore and the dog trotted out on the
beach. Again Boudwin started for the
Delaware shore and this time the dog
would not follow.
The next day, however, the collie
appeared at the Boudwin home, hav-
ing crossed the river. Men on a dredgs
in midstream attempted to take the
dog on board, but II refused assist
ance and reached the Delaware side
in safety. Boudwin has concluded tc
