A Fat Beetle Helps Peter.

Such q thing as the possibility that
he ever would or could be grateful to
q fat beetle never had entered Peter
Rabbits head. II any one had sug-
gested such thing Peter would have
laughed. Yet that is exactly what
came to pass. 1t seems funny to Peter
even now. but it is SO.
You see when Peter told Jimmy
Skunk the truth about what he knew
of the eggs of Mrs. Slow Poke the Box
Turtle he felt greatly relieved. He
thought that the fact that the rain
drops had SO beaten down the place
where Mrs. Slow Poke had dug the
hole in which her eggs were buried
that he. Peter. could no longer tell ex-
actly where it was would make Jimmy
Skunk think It quite useless to hunt
any more. So when Jimmy command
cd him to lead the way as near to the
spot as he could. Peter was very much
upset.
Now 1t happened tina. they were
very close to the spot. In fact, where
they were sitting was within two
good Jumps OF the place where those
eggs were buried: Refer knew that.
act spot. It wouldn't greatly matter.
Knowing that he was very close to 1t,
Jimmy would just dig around until he
found 1t. Peter was in bad fix. He
certainly was.
'Tll have to pretend that 1t is some
where where It isn't" thought Peter.
and turned about as II to go back in
the direction he had Just como from.
That won't do. Peter! You can't
fool me 80 easily as all thatl You
wasn't looking In that direction when
drst saw you. Now show me al
near to that place as you can or you
will be the sorriest Rabbit ever lived" !"
There was something in Jfmmy's
voice that sent little cold chills chas-
inG each other all over Peter. It was
plain that Jimmy wasn't to bs fooled
that way.

no hslp for It. I've Just got 70 show

him." thought Peter. Then he'll dig
around until he finds those eggs and
and-I wish I had kept away from
here"
He looked this way and that way as
he prepared to do what he knew he
had to do. 1t was as If he hoped to
find help somewhere. He didn't. be-
cause he couldn't imagine any one or
anything that could help him. Way
off to one side a leaf moved. Some
thing darted out from under it and
disappeared under another leaf In
stantly Peters curiosity was aroused.
He forgot Jimmy Skunk. Abruptly he
sat up very straight in order to see
better. Jimmy Skunk turned to see
what Peter was staring at.
Just then that leaf under which Pc

a bad place that time. Now I'll keep
away from that place where Mrs. Slow

Skunk finds them I can't help it."
Peter was as good as his word. lie
did keep away, and Jimmy Skunk
didn't find those eggs. So in the right
and proper time a lot of funny little
Slow Pokes dug their way out of the
sand and started out to make their

Slenderness at fifty can adopt the

These conclusions if fair and just matters Of serious
concern not only those engaged In the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given on profits misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly Is unsup-

The packers mentioned In the report stand ready to prove

Any citizen who would famiarize himself with its details
must be prepared for large totals

This sum IS compared with $40 100000 the average
annual profit for the three years before the making
appear that the profit $2 600 greater than

talk this matter over with some business acquaintance

the packing industry with those Of any other large industry
at the present time
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission
In support of the statement that the large packers have
monopoly. The Commissions report shows the large
number and importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove to any fair minded person that they in keen
competition with each other and that they have power
to manipulate prices
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report for only about
one-thrd of the meat business of the country
They wish possible interest you in the details of
their business Of how for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the cost Of the live animal owing to
utilization Of byproducts and of the wonderful story OF
the methods of distribution roug ghout this broad land
well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able to do big job for your government
in its time Of need; they have met all wartime demands
promptly and completely and they willing to trust their
case to the arindedness of the American people with

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe tc
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.

Th"t beautiful even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, Just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. It is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre Of
your hair
Everybody uses 'FWyeth's'' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with IL and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, ana after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight
full toilet requisite for those who de-
sire dark hair and youthful appear
ance. IT IL not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.
