Bedtime Story for the Little Ones
UNCLE wIGGLY AND THE WAR BREAD.
----,---.I3y HOWsRD a. CAMS. ,,,,-1,,,7.-.

she isn't YOU can come to our house
to eat some and help win the war,
War bread; eh?' said Uncle VIE ~
Eily. slowly Well I don't know. 10
YOU put talcum powder in it, Jillys or
is it shot out Of a gun, or what!
Now you're fooling again, salo
the little mouse girl. War bread Is
Just regular bread, except that II mas
rye or corn meal or oatmeal, or some
thing like that in, so It won't take 50
much wheat flour. OF course war
bread isn't as nice and white as peace
bread, but it's better for you
Then I'm going to eat it,! CRIED
the bunny rabbit. -Hurrayi want 10
do my bitl Nurse janet" he cried
opening the bungalow door, m go
ing to get some new kind OF flour so
you can bake war bread"
"And I'll do it," said the muskrat
lady housekeeper, putting her whisk-
ers around back Of her neck, where
they wouldn't be in the way
Over the fields and through the
woods started Uncle Wiggily TO get
the the war flour for the war bread.
The monkey doodle gentleman who
waited on him at the store, said:
Here you are Uncle Wiggily, I have
mixed some rye flour and rice flour
and cornmeal with the regular white
wheat flour, and that will make just
the kind Of war bread you want"
Thank you," said Uncle Wiggily,
/
galow he started with the sack Of
war bread flour over his back. The
bunny rabbit gentleman had not gone
very far before, all Of sudden, OUT
from under a snow drift popped the
mad old Skeeziclzs.
"Ah, ha! This time I don't believe
you'll get away from mel growled
the bad creature Il see you have 4
heavy sack on your shoulder, and you
can't run very fast with that. You
can't get away from me now, I'll bite
all the souse I want off your ears!
'Oh. please don'tr' begged Uncle
yes shall, too" gurgIed the
Skeezielzs Come now, put down that
sack so can get at both your ears.
Put 1t down, I say!'
you want me to I will. but I'd a good
deal rather you wouldn't bite souse
off my ears. Still if you will. please
don't bite this sack, for it has stuff
in It from which Nurse Jane is going
to make war bread"
with that the bunny set down the
sack Of flour, letting it fall on a stick,
which 1t broke with a loud Bang!
Crack"
At the same time. from little hole
in the bag, some Of the white flour
gun, and 1t blew right in the face Of
the EkeeZicks.
'Oh, myl" cried the bad creature.
You have war bread in that sack!
oh, heard il shoot Oh head Please
don't shoot mel I guess I made a
mistakel Oh. don't let it bang again,
nor let any smoke puff OUT I'll be
good! I'll be good"
When away ran the Skeezicks.
thinking Uncle Wiggily had in the
bag some guns that went bang, and
shot powder. And the Skeezicks was
afraid, so ne didn't hurt the bunny at
all. Then Mr.. Longears picked up his
flour sack and went to his bungalow.
So it's a good thing he wanted war
bread, you see, and if the ginger snap
doesn't make too much noise when II
plays tag with the sugar cookie in
the firecracker box, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the heatless

Beauty Chats

M tales Of the beauties Of his
w tory, and the wonderful milk
baths they took to preserve their
youth, and loneliness. When Neros
wife, Poppaea, travelled. a herd OF
goats was driven after her train Of
chariots, so she might not miss her
daily bath of goats milk. Caligula
bathed in tepid perfume; some of the
anclents even bsthed in fruit juices!
Perhaps the most beautifying was
the milk bath, for 1t bleached. soft
ened and nourished the skin And a
substitute for it, soothing, bleaching
and refreshing, can be made as fol-

Marshmallow flour So. = pound
This is mixed and put in cheese
cloth bags-old salt bags answer very
well for the purpose, or squares or
cheesecloth tied together-and one
bag is soaked in the tub OF warm
water, and squeezed till the water is
fragrant and milky looking.
It's a question whether such a bath
is patriotic, now though, when any
sort of flour is precious-so here's
another suggestion:
Tincture of camphor. / ounce
cologne ounces
Tincture of benzoin. - ounce
This is kept bottled and enough
used in the water to make it milky.

U. S. Keeps Pledge.

Three milling companies Of Win
field have been instructed by the
Food Administration to pay a flair
price" for Wheat.
These three companies cut the price
the first three days Of August because
the supply of wheat exceeded the de-
mand and wheat was not worth $2.19
en- the basis of Kansas City.
The government, however, has
guaranteed fair price for wheat. A
miller has the right to refuse to buy
wheat, but according to the Food Ad-
ministration for Kansas he must pay
a 'fair price" or quit until he can
pay that price.
In other words, the big crop Of
1913 ordinarily would have forced
the price of wheat down, but Uncle
Sam Is a man of his word and he
kept the price up. The three Win
field millers were penalized a total
of $500, which went to the Red Cross.
Farmers who did not get what they
should have had for their wheat are
to be paid in full. The three Win
field mills are the Winfield Flour
Mills Company, the Alexander Mill
ing Company and the Adams Milling
and Elevator Company.

WHERE ARE THE MILL FEEDs7

Many reasons have been advanced
for the shortage of mill feeds. Here
is one the Food Administration has
prepared:
''The government, upon recommen-
dation of the Agricultural Advisory
Committee, has fixed the price of
bran and shorts very low. As a re-
suit, every one wants to buy mill
feeds and the demand is greater than
usual
an the next place flour is not be-
ing milled here to a large extent for
export. We are shipping whole
wheat because wheat can be loaded
more quickly than flour in sacks. It
saves about seven days On the load
ing of a large ship TO ship grain in
stead Of sacks of flour.
''Breweries are going out Of bust
ness and have quit making cattle feed
as a by-product of beer or near beer
The dairy men who formerly bought
from breweries are buying from the
mills"

Dried fruits or other food products
should be packed in small tin or

late nor anything that could possibly
