The First Lesson in Fishing.

Very. very carefully Mrs. Billy Mink
stole up to shallow little pool in the
Laughing Brook. In that shallow little
pool a school of minnows We're at pay.
Very, very carefully behind Mrs. Biliy
five little Minks stole up to that sinai
low little pool They were careful be-
cause Mrs. Mink was careful You see'
they naturally initiated her That is
the way the children of most OF the
little people of the Green Meadows ana
the Green Forest learn. Mrs. Billy
moved to the edge of the little pool
and her shadow fell across the water
Instantly those little mlnnows dlsap-
peared as by magic. They had darted
into hiding at the first glimpse OF tina
shadow.
Lie down and keep still" com
manded Mrs Billy. The five little
Minks did as they were told. for they
were well brought UP. Presently one
little minnow appeared and then an
other and another, until all Of them
were playing just as before.
Now let me see you catch some.
said Mrs. Billy. and there was twinkle
in her eyes.
At once up jumped the five little
Minks and rushed for the little pool
each eager to be the first to catch
minnow. Each was disappointed There
was no first. There was no first be-
cause no single minnow was caught
Every last one of them was in hiding.
FIVE little Minks looked at their mother
with the most foolish looks on their
five little faces Mrs. Billy smiled and
got up.
It's of no use to waste any more
time here" said she. Then. seeing how
disappointed the FIVE little Minks
looked. she added: Wen try another
little pool and see if we cannot have
better luck there"
So she led the way down the Laugh
ing Brook to another little pool where
another little school of minnows were
at play. This time, while the five little
around to the other side of the pool
from the one where the minnows were
at play and took the greatest care that
her shadow should not fall on the
water. She entered the little pool with
out making SO much as a tiny splash
and swan straight across toward
where the little minnows were at play.
Then she dashed right in among them
OF course, the minnows were terribly
frightened. and. of course, they tried to
dash away from her, and this took
them into such shallow water that
some of them in their flight tapped
right out on the shore. Mrs. Billy
didn't give them time to think. She was
here. there and everywhere. and in no
time at all she had half a dozen of
those foolish minnows. The five little
Mfnks had watched open-mouthed with
excitement. Their mother gave each
minnow. "Now," said she, you have
got to catch minnows for yourselves
I've showed you how to do it, and we'll
see how well you've learned the les
son."
She led the way to still another little

thousands Of separate wash waists for
women who regard them as an essen
tta1 part of the wardrobe.
The desire to have a washable gar
ment next to her skin is a persistent
trait in the character Of the American
woman. One does not want to go into
any disagreeable comparisons Of the
cleanliness of the women of different
nations. but all the world knows that
the American girl or woman will sac
rifice much in the way of laundry bills
to keep herself constantly arrayed in
fresh shirt waists.
In mass. she believes that the one
piece frock which cannot be washed Is
not the gown that she wishes to wear
at all hours Of the day and for weeks
in succession. She finds more comfort
in the present shirt waist, which is
loosely fastened in front, rather than
snugly fastened in the back.
With the widening of revers and the
tightening Of the wrist line. the Amer
lean shirt waist has a chance to carry
a varied assortment Of attractive neck
wear. and it is just in this line that
the manufacturers in this country can
supply any capricious demand.

How Far Shall We Substituted

There is always danger-and always
fasctnation-in extremes.
And just now womankind of America
is confronted with this question: To
what extent shall we substitute cheap
for expensive foods?
1t is, of course. the thing to do to
substitute corn for wheat That Is q
rational substitution that in nowise at
fects the health Of those who eat. Corn
bread is probably even more nourishing
than white bread.
But take the case of a young house,
keeper who became so much interested
in the food economy situation that she
water for milk in the mullins for break
fast; for luncheon she served no but
ter. and for dessert served an egg1ess,
butterless. milkless cake. For dinner
she cut out the salad course.
Now. what was she doing? She was
really starving her family. For break
fast the milkless mullins, although de-
licfous. were giving far less food value
than those made with milk would have
given. For luncheon the dessert was Of
small food value. and the fat usually
supplied by butter was not made up in
any other way. And for dinner, the
family was deprived of the much needed
green vegetables that usually went to
make up the salad course.
1t is all very well-and really usually
necessary-to mako food substitutions
nowadays. But substitute intelligently.
If you must go without butter, learn to
eat a butter substitute of some kind.
Or else see to 1t that some fat dish Is
served at the BUTTERFLIES meal. And II
you serve an eggless, BUTTERFLIES, milk
less cake. serve 1t when the other dishes
are rich in food value. II you cut out
the salad course at dinner. be sure that
fresh green vegetables are served with
the meat course. or that there Is a salad
course at luncheon.
The whole problem is very interest
ing, and 1t Is one that every house
keeper must work out moro or less for
herself. She must do her best to under
stand tho scientific principles under
lying the matter Of diet. and she must
always substitute so wisely that the
food values Of the menus she plans are
well balanced.

minnows at play. The i've little Minks
stole around the pool just as they had
seen their mother do and swan across
as nearly like the way she had done as
they could. though in their eagerness
each to be first they splashed a little
and some of the minnows were quick
enough to take the alarm and hide.
But some were not. and these did Just
as those Mrs. Billy had surprised had
done They lost their heads, as the
saying is. and losing their heads they
lost their lives, because those five lit

fore they knew what was happening
Each little Mink managed to catch
minnow, and five prouder little Minks
never lived than those five as they
climbed up the bank to where their
mother lay, each with a fish he or she
had caught And they agreed that
never, never had they tasted any fish
to compare with those minnows.

14th and Park Road,

Wrapped bread is clean. 1t reaches
your home just as it leaves the bakery,
without single hand touching it; or
speck of dust falling upon it.
And it is wholesomely delicious to
the last slice.
1t doesn't become stale and unpalat-
able if kept few hours longer than
Usual.

We are as particular about keeping

that loaf of bread that is handled five

And wrapped bread keeps longer and

it reaches your home.

Although we take every precaution

favoring the wrapping Of bread. Espe-
cially in these war times when every

possible, we believe in the idea that the
wrapping Of bread is worthwhile, not
only because it tends to hold the
breads flavor, but mainly because it
lends to keep bread fresh and to reduce

People who have tried wrapped bread

The supreme court of the United States has rendered decision in the case of the United States vs. Mason and Hanson, which attracted wide attention m the city during the month of April 1916. The supreme court decision sustains the ruling of the district court with respect to the refusal of the defendants, Charles Mason and Al Hanson to answer the questions asked them at the trial of the famous gambling cases last year and the defendants are thereby com pelled to pay the fines imposed at that time. The amount assessed against each man was one hundred dollars. The mandate of the supreme court was entered here Saturday and it is understood that the. defendants have paid the fine.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, July 14.-Sixteen suffragettes attempted to stage a picketing demonstration at the gates of the White House today and were promptly arrested by the police and charged with a disturbance of the peace.
 The demonstration was made on the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile and was staged with the evi- dent intention of making the day a background for. another militant dis play.
 The police were the recipients of many misses as we'll as cheers from the crowd of several hundred per- sons who gathered while the bunch of ladies were awaiting the arrival of the police autos.
 The mihtants will probably re- ceive the punishment meted out to their sisters who were engaged in the previous attempts to pull off picket ing demonstrations before the presi- dential mansion.
