mo, indeed. l look like tomato
because am tomato and I'm proud
of it. l am nice, wholesome vege-
table. Everybody likes me in salad.
l am very good canned, in the winter
time, and make good soup, too. Do
you remember the box in the shed
with the tiny plants in it. early in the
spring? That was my family. They
were planted first in the box and then
out in the garden. Please ask the man
who takes care of this garden to see
that they have some nice strong sticks
soon. They will not grow well unless
they have something to lean on"
Have you any 'enemies'?" asked
Dolly, remembering the Pea Vine fairy
who had asked her 10 watch for the
green insects.
Just look in my dewdrop and you
can see for yourself-but don't be
frightened--it won't hurt you. Our
leaves are what it wants.
Dolly looked into the dewdrop, and
jumped as far as she could
"Oh, what horrid thing!" she said.
1t was green and smooth. 1t had warts
stocking out on its sides. Its mouth
was wide and dreadful looking and ii
had goggly eyeh. 1t had horns, too.
You can see what a scary thing it
looked. Dolly could hardly keep from
running away.
THAT is the worst enemy / have
ever seen," said the little girl "Will
the gardener have to shoot it?'
"Oh, 1t is not so bad as that, but ii
does eat my leaves. Tell the boys
to take stick and a basket and knock
this enemy into the basket. After that
they will know what to do with him.
Thank goodness there are not many
like him but, he is my worst enemy. ]
am glad you know about MIN and will
tell the boys to watch for him because
he is very sly. And next time you eat
tomato salad, Just remember what my
name was at first-Ahave you forgot
ten?"
Love Apple" said the little girl;
land will you please tell me-" A long
sunbeam came down between the
leaves and, all of a sudden, the dew
drop and the little red old lady and
the enemy were gone.

creameries, milk plants, and other
dairy establishments to cooperate in
the plan to popularize the drink.
1t is pointed out that, while straight
buttermilk is an excellent drink, there
are number of delicious combina-
lions. Buttermilk lemonade is OBJ
tanned by adding the justice of two or
three lemons to a quart of butter
milk, with sugar to taste Buttermilk
may be combined with lemon juice, or
ange juice or eggs and sugar for maxi
ing frozen dainties.
Aside from its food and beverage
qualities, buttermilk is said to possess
medical qualities. Many physicians
prescribe it in the treatment of certain
intestinal disorders. The bacteria that
brings about the chemical change by
which buttermilk is produced is be-
lieved by many physicians and bac-
teriologists to destroy certain other
organisms that, in the human body,
tend to hasten senility. Many promi-
nent men drink buttermilk regularly as
a tonic. One of the most widely known
lecturers and writer's in the United
States drinks buttermilk as regularly
as he brushes his teeth-and declares
that he feels himself getting younger
with every glassful.

The Stsr;e4 Ths 0esa4shs Told
X. DOLLY OND THE LOVE APPLE FAIRY.

Good morning, little girl" said a
pleasant, chuckly kind of voice, as
Dolly came into the garden. 81 am
always glad to see little girls take an
Interest in the garden. 1t is sign
that thoy will be good housekeepers
when they grow up and have gardens
of their own"
Dolly was looking for a lovely,
sweet faced, winged fairy like the one
she had seen yesterday. She looked
up and she looked down. She lifted
one or two leaves and peeped under
them to see if the owner OF the voice
was hidden anywhere. She couldn't
see anything but what looked like a
little red ball lying on the ground
The voice seemed to come from that
place, though, and 80 she looked
closer.
"That's right. Come down here and
will show you something" said the
same pleasant voice.
When Dolly put her face down al
most to the ground she saw that what
she had taken for little red ball was
a face 1t was the reddest face she
had ever seen-much redder than the
radish whom she still remembered. 1t
belonged to little, rather old-look-
ing lady. She was fat and round and
she had on a green bonnet that came
down around her face. 1t could not
hide it, though. Her eyes were very
bright and she was milling all over her
face.
Are you surprised because am not
a beautiful young LADY," she asked.
Dolly blushed. She had been thinking
lust that thing. 1t seemed as though
the fairy read her mind. She was
afraid it was not very polite mind
to think such things.
perhaps am not as old as l look
said the little red-faced Fairy. AT
any rate my family has not been in
this country near as long as many OF
the other plants and vegetables, Did
you ever hear of country called
South American"
Dolly was more used to asking ques-
lions than answering them. She had
heard of South America, though she
was not yet "in" geography, The way
she had heard of it was this She had
asked Mothermine where the cocoanut
came from that made such good cake
and pies, and Mothermine had said,

Dolly had asked many more questions
about that country, so she could say

well, my family came from there.
1t is not hundred years yet since
the first of us were planted in this
country. Do you know what the peo-
pie called us at first?'
NO" said Dolly.
"They called us Love Apples be-
cause we were so handsome. They
thought we were too pretty to eat, and
It was long time before they found

its effect.
From the indications, the fly will be
aggressive and energetic this summer

The continued presence of flies in

that a hidden abode is maintained for
the fly family,

City Assessor Harvey began his
work in making up the 1919 assess
ment this morning when he began
distributing among the taxpayers Of
the city assessment blanks which
they will be required to fill out and
return to his office.

erty owners but this year each tax
payer will be required to fill out his
own blank and swear to it before the
assessor.
The work can be greatly expedited
If the taxpayers will act promptly
upon the receipt of their blank. They
should be filled out as soon as re-
ceived and held in readiness for their
return so that there will be no delay.
Mr.. Harvey expects to have the city
covered with the blanks within very
short time or before the first of April,
at which time, under the law, he is
required to begin the collection of the
blanks and begin making the assess
ment.

A LETTER TO MY PATRONS

Dear Madam:
Is it necessary to answer, IL do,
when the minister says: DO you
promise to love, honor and obey?
or course, you believe In this con-
vention. being a happily married wo-
man, but If you had been bound In
marriage to man who not only ne
elected you but who gave the best and
the worst there was in him to his gay
friends, would you hesitate after his
death to enter the bonds OF matri-
mony again?
This is the question which Is
brought up for serious discussion in
the latest William Fox photoplay
"The Strange Woman" in which
Gladys Brockwell is the star.
1.-THE Strange Woman" refuses to be
manacled by a wedding ceremony to
the young American architect with
whom she falls desperately In love
She comes to America with him and in
an Iowa town meets women who
would denounce her, but she shows
that on her side is purity Of thought
and purity of action, while on theirs
is only hypocritical, false, deceitful
marriage state. This play will hold
you and give you something to think
about.
The stage version, written by Will
liam ]. Hurlbut, ran for an entire sea-
son in New York, and later duplicated
its tremendous success on the road
One million copies Of the novelized
version of the play were sold.
