FAIRY TALE
THE GYPSY BEAR.

1.-THE Russian brown bear" said
Daddy, event back to his home after
long, long trip and when he had had
good meal with plenty of berries he
told the little bears the story Of his
adventures.
The mother and daddy bears sat
around too. and Brownie, as the Rus
sian brown bear was called, began To
talk in grun roars that sounded rather
different from II friendly talk. How
ever he was really being Sociable and
pleasant.

places he had wandered around first
before he met Them. He knew the
mothers and dudGicS wouldn't want

the way they scowlcd at him. While
they wouldn't mind hearing about the
gypsicS bcc&uS" they didn't think the
little bears would care for the hard
and uncomfortable life the gypsies led.
""Thcy had wagon with them and
two horses. The horses looked very
lazy / thought at first, but after lit
tie time | knew why. They had TO go
SO many miles and more than that,
they had such heavy things to carry
in the wagons.
You see the Eypsies have no
houses and so they carry along with
them their beds, their stoves, their
food. clothes, and everything they may
need. And this was pretty hard on
the two horses who dragged the wag-
Ons.

beauty in architecture is scrviceabiIity.
This element is largely responsible for
the difference in opinions between peo-
pie as TO what is really beautiful and
what is not. This practical element is
also the influence which places beauty
in architecture on a different basis
from beauty in music or painting.

The Guess They Missed.

Carlo had been lost all day and the
children of the neighborhOOd had been
securing and scouting in their attempt
10 restore him TO his youthful owners.
The children in the family which
claimed Carlo for its own were we'll
nigh broken hearted. Just as nurse
was putting them 10 bed, in walked
father with triumphant look upon his
face which TO anyone not suffering the
bereavement Of beloved Carlo would
have betokened gladstone tidings. The
children even failed to heed q sharp,

beans, but the advantage is far on
the side of the beans.
This year with potatoes so high, the
substitutes have been studied greatly
to the disadvantage of the ubiGuitouS
potato. Rice is cheap and is more cas-
lily digeSted than potatoes; it takes
rice one hour to digest, the potato
three. Rye, as we'll as whole wheat
and cOrnmeal, should take the place
OF white bread on our tables.
In the cooking of vegetables in many
households the valuable mineral salts
are thrown down the kitchen sink and
the family are being starved for the
elements that keep a well-balanced or
ganism. The doctor Is called on TO
administer iron which should be taken
naturally from the vegetable foods.
1t should be the aim Of every house
mother TO study the needs of her fam
lily as TO the physical, mental as well
as moral life. There is no doubt that
food has a great influence upon the
body and mind. Many man is q
drunkard because of insufficient food
or improperly balanced diet.
Children who are given highly sea-
soned foods, pickles and condiments,
are paving the way for future stomach
trouble or dissipation. Poor cooking,
bakers bread and such food. creates
dyspepsia and its cravings are often
mistaken demands for stimulants un-
til the habit is formed.
Food should be properly, but not
over, seasoned. To season food to such
an excess that its flavor is entirely dis
guised is neither good sense nor good
cooking. Salt should be used to make
food more palatable, an excess Of salt
Is not good for the system, and pep
per and all spices should be used most
sparingly.
After the pie is made and put into
the oven, unless you are mos: ex-
act workman there will be small bits
