Children's EDening Story

| wish. Neddie and Beckie could see to
go about in the dark cave because
there was lantern hanging up in it.
The lantern was bottle filled with
last years freely lightning bugs, and
they made almost as good light as
gas stove on Christmas Eve.
you slide first, Beckie," said Ned
die, kindly. Then we'll take turns"
Beckie Stubtail took her place on
the top or high end of the slanting
ironing board. Then Neddie gave his
sister little shove. and down she
went to the bottom as nicely as you
please.
"Oh, it's lovely, Neddie!" exclaimed
the little bear girl. Lovely! Now it's
your turn
So Neddie slid down, and then. for
some time, he and Beckie played nice
ly together on the wooden slide in the
cave house. But at last Neddie said:
"The slide is not long enough. l
want a larger one. / will take nam.
mas wooden lap board, that she sews
on, and put that to the ironing board.
Then we will have long, proper
slide"
Neddie did this, putting candle
grease on the lap board also. until he
had long wooden slide that went
from the dining room out into the
kitchen
Now for some fun!' cried the bear
boy. Its your turn, Beckie.'
"Oh, I'd rather you went first,
Neddie dear" said Beckie. THAT is
such long slide"
Pooh! I'm not afraid" cried Ned
die, as he sat down at the top of the
new long, slippery wooden slide.
Down he started. First he went
slowly, and then he began going faster
and faster until he could not stop. All
of sudden the ironing board and the
lap board came apart where Neddie
had pasted them together with piece
Of sticking plaster, and the first thing
the little bear boy knew he was fly
ing through the air, straight for the
open flour barrel in the kitchen.
ooh, save me! Stop me, Beckett"
he cried.
But Beckie could not stop her
brother Into the barrel of -four he
fell-"ker-swish!" and he sneezed and
choked and coughed, and the ironing
board and lap board fell down with
clatter.
"A-ker-choo!" sneezed Neddie as the
-four got up his nose.
What's that?" cried Mrs. StubtaiL
opening her eyes.
What's the matter?' cried Mr.
Stubtail, jumping up.
Then Neddie stood UP inside the
barrel of flour. He was all covered
with white dust
ooh, it's Mr. Whitewash, the pola!
bear gentleman" cried Mr.. Stubtsi'.
"He has come down from the No1ta
Pole to visit us. Why, Mr.. White
wash"
mo. it is I, Neddie' said the Ii L
bear cub. Il made wooden hill, md
slid into our -four barrel!'
ooh, Neddie. What will you d.
next-waking us up this way?' aske'
his mamma. What will you dc
next?"
"A-ker-choo!" sneezed Neddie, and
they all laughed.
Then they took Neddie out OF tie
-four barrel, and put him and Bechie
to bed again, and all was quite in the
bear cave-at least for while. Aud

A paper boy raced up halfway to

The American Demand
For Neutral Trade.

Americas step in favor OF neutral
trade is worthy Of the Endorsement
Of all neutral nations. We have in
dications, in press comments from
Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark
that ali OF those small countries think
Uncle sam has taken a broad-minded
ana commendatory stand upon a ques-
ton of much importance to world
trade. The smaller neutral countries
OF Europe have protested similarly to
Great Britain, but their protests have
been pigeon-hoied and absolutely dis
regarded. The American protest will
not be disregarded. but 1t may be some
time before the matter Is settled salts
factorily.
one of the main points In England's
icIaims is that the cargoes shipped
srom America to European neutrals
often are reshipped to Germany II
America ships the goods to the neu-
trail nations in good faith. without any
intention of their being reshipped to
Germany, the fact that In the other
neutral countries arrangements are
made to supply the goods to Germany
doesn't give England any right to
take our ships into port and keep
them there for weeks or months. Eng
land has no right to sacrifice legiti-
mate neutral trade to her own desires
Some London papers vaguely refer
20 the note as "brusque," British semi
official circles are expressing sur
prise" on various points. but realize
nevertheless, that expressing sur
prise"--or picking flaws, in other
words--doesn't remove the fact that
the position taken by America is lib
eral yet firm, and that the note calls
for a change In the existing condi-
tions. Very few London papers favor
anything but the most open and lib
eral discussion OF the question and a
friendly settlement. The Globe, with
it's usual anti american spirit, says
England should answer ''No" to the
American demands, but the general
view or the press OF England, as OF
neutral nations, is that the two ma
tions should meet each other half
way.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says every body is using old-time recipe of
 Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is SO at tractiye, use only this old.time re- cipe
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair SO naturally so evenly that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied Besides, it takes off dandruf, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray nair dis. appears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur il that, besides beautifully darkenlng the hair after a few applications it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance
