But needing what your mother says
Is much the better plan.

The trouble is that learning by eX-
perience is sometimes both painful and
costly. 1t is almost sure to be so II
you try to do something you have been
warned not to do. The boldeSt of the
five little Minks found that out. His
experience certainly was painful and
it cost him-well, it very nearly cost
him his life, and it did cost him very
great blow to his pride.
Perhaps, if his brothers and sisters
hadn't kept teasing him about his
boosted boldness he wouldn't have been
so foolish as he was. but they did tease
him and so he kept on boaSting that he
wasn't afraid of any old shadows and
that he would prove it the very first
chance he got. 1t wasn't long before
the chance came. Their mother had
left them alone one moonlight night
while she and their father, Billy Mink,
went fishing. The last thing before size
left she charged the five little MinkS
not to go out from under the pile of
brush under which their home was.
The boldest little Mink waited only
long enough to make sure that his
mother and father were not somewhere
about before he poked his sharp little
face out from under the brush pile. The
moonlight sifted down through the
treetops and everywhere were the
queerest shadows. Some of them didn't
move at all. but some moved whenever
for these were the shadows of the
branches.

head out He could see big patch of

The American Red Cross has a new
recruit.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis

any possible way in carrying on its
work. The association already is CO.

In organizing its war relief the Red
Cross, 1t is pointed out. is confronted
with the task of co-ordinatinK the
health and philanthropic activities
throughout the country. The tubercu
losis association has 1900 organizations
throughout the country affiliated with
it. and the machinery Of all these or
ganizations is now made available for
Red Cross use. These local organiza-
tions are offered for the organizing and
promoting of Red Cross campaign or
in promoting Red Cross work in any
other form that may be determined.
The tuberculosis association has for
nearly ten years been cooperating with
the American Red Cross in the sale of
Red Cross Christmas seals for the sup
port of anti-tuberculosis. Last Christ

WHEAT PRICES ABROAD

While wheat is selling well above So

VARIATION IN THE PRICES
OF PEANUT BUTTER FOUND
Food Administration Reports Result
Of Investigation Among Retailers
of Nutritive Product.

Following the announcement of the
food administration that peanut butter
has an important dietary place. es-
pecially as a nutritive article of food
for the workingman, an investigation
was made by government officials into
retail prices of, peanut butter in Wash
ington.
Startling differences in prices were
found. Retail prices asked for six
brands were used in making the COM
parison. The lowest sold was II cents
the highest at 40 cents pound. more
than three times as much.
1t is a we'll known fact. an Official
declared today. that the quality of
peanut butter and its nutritive value
vary little. For this reason 1t is re-
garded as remarkable that one COM
pany should sell its product at a price
more than three times greater than
another company.
"Of course. the higher-priced peanut
butter" this official explained. "is sold
in glass jars. but the price of glass
jars. bought in large amounts. as tn"
manufacturers buy. will by no means
reconcile the difference. This Is shown
by the fact that one company is sell
ing it's product at retail price of "a
cents rer pound in glass jars. which Is
approximately only one-half the price
highest price.
THE only reason. obviously. that car
be given is that the brand name and
reputation of certain manufacturers
are used as means of increasing the
price of the product to an unwarrant.

products in fancy containers. but 1t il

FASHIONS

: Here is a modish little early fall
"tailleur." made of mems wear blue
serge. with collar of black velvet and
braid and button trimming. This suit
might also be attractively developed in
Oxford gray suiting, with black braid and
button trimming.
= There is much speculation as to the
suit that will be preferred this fall and
winter. 1t seems safe to predict that
strictly tailored models featuring a coat
approximately thirty-six inches in
length and with skirts about two yards
wide will be regarded as staples This
kind of suit is always smart, easily kept
in shape and gives service that can never
rbe hoped for from one of the dressy
models.
: In addition to this argument. the gov
eminent has indicated to manufacturers
that they will do well to use fabrics
asparirgly. and the ultra-long suit coats
recommended when fall fashion notes
were first given to the public will hardly
have a general vogue
The suit here shown is youthful
