Bedtime Story for the Little Ones
UNCLE wIGGILY AND NURSE JAMES IRONS.
ND NURSE lanes IRONS.

{ "Hai That surely is Piggie Iggie."
said Uncle Wiggily. 7 need have no
fear"
So he had no fear and he went be-
/ hind the bushes and there he did see
| the little baby pig. She had gone IN
| an old bark house, where chipmunk
used to live. but there was no one in
the house now, and Piggie lggie could
not get out.
gily.
Because, like the five little pigs-
which are the baby's five little pink
I tOes-l can't get over the doorsill, ="
/ the doorsil OF the chipmunk house
was so high that the little pig could
not get over it
well. well. I'll help you out" said
Uncle Wiggily, and he did, putting
! Piggie Iggie, who was very small and
tiny, into the big pocket OF his fur
coat
Vow. you stay right there and keep
nice and warm, little Piggie Iggie,"
] said the bunny, and I'll take you
safe home, and Nurse Jane will soon
be there to show your mother how TO
knit you nice mittens so you can
throw snowballs.'
"Oh. thank you, Uncle Wiggily,"
said Piggie Iggie. as she curled up in
the bunny's pocket and went to sleep.
So Mr.. Longears kept on over the
fields and through the woods, and he
was almost at the home OF Mrs.
Twistytail, when, all of a sudden. out
out from behind stump jumped
bad old Spongie. Now Spongie is
something like a sponge, with this
difference, that it is very much afraid
Of being wet II a Spongie so much
as thought you would squirt water on
him, from the bath room hose, that
C-r1--fr and
speak TO you again.
But this Sponge knew Uncle Wig
gily didn't have any bath room hose
full OF water, so the Spongie grabbed
the bunny and cried:
'.Ah. hal have you now"
Yes, I see you have" sadly said
Uncle Wiggily. But what are you
going to do with me2"
4 am going 10 carry you off TO my
den and never let you go" said the
bad Spongie.
And just then, Piggie Iggie. who
had gone to sleep in Uncle Wiggily's
fur overcoat pocket, awakened and
cried. as all little pigs 90:
"Spuee-squeei SQuee-squee! Wee!
Yipi' Yapi Zee-e-e-ei"
''Oh. MY" suddenly yelled the
Spongie. That sounds just like
gquelIy rubber ball full OF water. and
I know you'll squirt water on me.
just know youlI squirt water on me-
On. don'ti III be good. III let you
go!''
And then the Spongie let go Of IN
Gle Wiggily and ran away, thinking
that the crying voice of Piggie IgSie
was a rubber ball filled with water,
which a Spongie hates very much.
So that's how the little baby pig
saved the bunny and soon she was
safe At her home, and Nurse Jane
showed Mrs. TWistytail how to knit
the mittens. And the bunny uncle
was happy. So if the shoe lace doesn't
hide away from the knitting needles
in the pussy cats rubber boots. I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and

TRAVELETTE
REBATE DE MALES.
By NIKsAH

EAIATE DE MALES Is a dismal
~ little cluster Of huts on the
- banks Of the Itecoahy river IN
Brazil. When the rainy season drives
the rubber worker from the nearby
forest he brings his hard earned
wages TO Remate and spends them
glorieusly. His wife blossoms forth
in clothes that rival Joseph's coat.
and high heeled slippers worn as a
rule without stockings. Every hut
boasts a new gramoDhone and the
music OF last years Broadway hit
blares forth upon the astonished jun
gle air.
II Is q dismal spot, this tiny settle
ment on the edge Of the unmapped
Javary region Its very name is
mournful, Remate de Males, the Gull
mination Of Evils. Every shack is
the high water mark Of the rainy
season; from the one roomed church
to pig sites and goat pen, the whole
town is on stills. In the dry season
when the water has retreated TO the
river bed this space below the huts is
occupied by the livestock OF the vari-
Gus households, but when winter,
with endless wet, falls upon the vii
lage, the pigs and goats are brought
into the huts with the rest Of the
family and the space below is in the
possession OF the various river cre9-
lures. alligators. water snakes and
strange fish. The patient alligator
waits and watches for stray bits Of
food let fall from the kitchen, or per-
haps an occasional unlucky member
Of the household itself.
The one roomed huts are built OF
rusty sheet iron, rooted with broad
palm leaves. The furniture is SIM
plicity itself; a few iron hooks from
which to hang the hammock beds. a
table and chair and the house Is FUR
nished- The towns one skyscraper
bears the imposing title Of Hotel de
Augusta. II is one and 4 quarter
stories high: the explanation OF the
extra quarter has yet TO be made.
Life is interesting in Remate de
Males during the rainy season At
times the water rises few feet above
the floors of soft palm wood, and the
inhabitants go about in boots and
row boats. Perhaps II you are rest
less during the nigh- you fail from
your hammock and have to swim to
the table top or catch a chair floating
from room to room The water and
forest creatures keep up an endless
din, the frogs OF the river and mon
keys OF the forest holding a nightly
concert for the benefit OF the unfor-
Inmates who cannot help but listen

Hot Water and Beauty.

- NE Of the quickest. easiest and
cheapest ways to gain a lovely
~ complexion, is to drink ouauti-
ties OF hot water. And by the way
this is an exceedingly healthy habit
One Of the senators in washington
was a nervous and physical wreck
some years ago and attributes his
complete cure TO a course Of exercises
and the drinking Of quantities Of
hot water.
As a beginning, drink a glass OF
hot water on arising, before break
fast Of course. II you feel sick at

juice or half teaspoonful Of baking
soda will overcome the trouble.
Drink e glass Of hot water before
luncheon, before dinner and before
going to bed This flushes out the
system, the heat stimulates the blood
IN the stomach and aids digestion,
raises any gas that may have formed,
clears out the whole bowel system
If you have pimpless or the black
heads that always accompany this
affliction, a few months of this hot
water treatment ought to clear up
the skin wonderfully
Few people drink as much water
as they should Doctors say every
adult should drink around two quarts
daily This is eight full sized glasses
-Four glasses OF hol water taken every
day would be half as much as you
should drink. your tea and coffee and
an occasional glass Of cool water be-

seribed amount Many thin people
have gained flesh by drinking more
water with their meals, that is. right
around meal times, many fat women

meals, when the system seems to
want more food. Water overcomes
the gnawing feeling and the body
soon accustoms itself to the lessened
diet.
