IIEVE IT.

Food had been scarce and while he
had always obtained enough to keen
from starving, it was a long time
since he had had a really good meal
He had, as you remember. Travelled
very long distance to catch that
fat hen, and it had been many hours
since he had had a. bite of anything
There is nothing like a good appetite
to make things taste good. Reddy
certainly had the appetite to make
that fat hen the finest dinner foA
ever ate.
So with pleasant thoughts of the
feast TO come Reddy trotted along
swiftly. Presently he reached the

stump AS he drew near 1.-THE moved

where about with terrible gun. So
Reddy used his eyes and his ears and
his nose as only he can use them.
All seemed safe. 1t was as still in
that little swamp as if no living crea-
lures had ever visited it Stopping
every few steps to look, listen and
sniff, Reddy approached that hollow
stump.
Quite certain in his own mind that
there was no danger. Reddy lightly
leaped up on the old stump and
peeped into the hollow in the top.
Then he bHnked his eyes very fast
indeed. If ever there was surprised
fox in all the Great World that one
was Reddy. There was no fat hen
in that hollow. Reddy couldn't be-
lieve it. He wouldn't believe That
fat hen just had to be there. He
bliDked his eyes some more and
looked again. All he saw in that ho1-
low stump was feather: the fat hen
had vanished. All Reddy's dreams of
a good dinner vanished, too. A great
rage took their place. Somebody had
stolen his fat hen.
Reddy looked about him hurriediy
and anxiously. There wasn't sign
of anybody about, or that anybody
had been there. Reddy-s anger be-
gan to give place to wonder, and
then something very like fear How
could anybody have taken that fat
hen and left no trace? And how
could a fat hen with broken neck
disappear of it's own accord? 1t gave
Reddy Il creepy feeling.

to be the actual leader. The smart

Very pleasant were the thoughts of
Reddy Fox as he trotted back to the
sw,-mp where was the hollow stump
in which he had hidden the fat hen
he had stolen. You remember that
he had had 70 hide it when Bowser
the Hound had started to chase him.
Yes, sir, very pleasant were the

that no dinner he ever had eaten had

NEW YORK, February 25.-We felt
in our bones that red, white and blue

at the end of the war and run its
race to a happy but brief finish.
We have watched this race, but we

of lemon Juice. They then dip The
chops in egg mixture and crumbs and
saute i'll pork fat.
Many pork dishes should also he
garnished with slices of lemon. Boiled
ham is garnished with lemon and
parsley by many good cooks.
Don't forget lemon juice when
making horse-radish sauce, mattre
d'hotel sauce, mint sauce, mushroom
sauce or tomato sauce.
When you make hollandaise sauce
don't forget the lemon juice. TO
make it you should mix in a dish set
, in pan of boiling water four egs
teaspoon of salt. q quarter teaspoon
of pepper. dash of cayenne and a
half cup of cold water. Beat until the
mixture thickeus, keeping the water
below the boiling point all the time.
Just before serving add two table
spoons of lemon juice. This is the
proper sauce for cold asparagus ana
French artichokeS.
Fresh lemon juice is a delicious
flayoring in many kinds of dessert
and should be used instead of the
lemon extract whenever very con-
centrated t1avoring is needed. For
instance, add a little lemon juice to
the white icing for cake, adding more
sugar if necessary to keep the icing
thick enough.
In making custard simmer several
generous sliyers of lemon peel in the
milk before adding the eggs. This
gives the real lemon flavor without
IN any way curdling the milk. The
same method may be employed In
making any other cooked milk des-
sert. In making any orange and
gelatfne dessert a little lemon juice
helps to bring out the orange flavor.

Palm Beach is full of such combina-
tions. They brighten the sands, light
up the cocoanut grove and form an

of the vast hotels.
The French tell US that sport
clothes as we know them ought to be
submerged this summer; they are
only to be worn when active partici-
patton in a sport demands them. This
will be sad news to the majority of
Americans, who have carried sport
clothes too far, who have introduced
them into the best society, where
they were awkward and out of place;
who have refused to change from
them into something more suitable for
the pleasant amenities of indoor So
cial life.
Women who have never had a ten
mis- racket or golf club in their hands,
kho know nothing of base bal and
less of skeeing, spent their entire

ABOUT LEMONS.

Doubtless there are some cooks
who can. get along from one month
to the next without Iemons-but they
are not the best cooks. For the best
cooks usually need lemons on hand
as much as they do vanilla or red
pepper. They do not use much at a
time but a little of the juice or grated
rind from time to time so that they
would be lost were they not able to
put their hand on a fresh lemon.
The tea tray is never complete
without a dish containing fresh slices
of lemon, perhaps stuck with cloves.
The plain slices If not used may be
used in cooking SO that there is
nothing extravagaut about having "a
generous number of slices even though
possibly only one tea drinker takes
lemon in tea.
Slices or quarters of lemon should
| be served with most sorts of fish. If
you serve fried small fish that are
good served with mayonnaise dress-

Their Downfall Is Rumored.

If France persists in substituting
her sport clothes by a different style
of dressing, we will follow. France
is not an athletic nation. or at least
her women are not athletic, but she
introduced sport clothes and sent
them to abide under every flag that
floats. In America she found the most
supreme acduieScence in her decree.
There was no child on rural free
delivery route in this country who
did not indorse the sport clothes of
Deauyilie and San MoritZ. She did
not know their source, but in her way
she was doing her best to initiate the
millionaire set of those highly expen-
sive resorts.
Now France says she is done with
sport clothes; that her women will
wear one-piece frocks instead of
sweaters, sport coats and plaid skirts.
France and large sectors of the
northern part of the United States
join hands in the theory that sport
clothes must be retained for sports
and changed for all other forms of
active life. There is no doubt that
this verdict has already reached the
southern resorts, for the majority II
smart women do not wear sport
clothes. Their care1essness has been
replaced by trigness. The sweater
has given way to the long-sleeved,
highly colored coat.
The shops need not cry over this
fact, for there will always be de-
mand for the plaid skirt, sweaters
and separate shirt waists wherever the
American women congregate for an

fall of such clothes is rumored. They

SMALLPOX OUTBREAK

Some weeks ago wrote an article
on the Importance of people being
vaccinated as prevention of small
pox and large number of Wiscon-
sin newspapers printed it. In the
article I-referred to the existance of
smallpox as being disgrace and an
evidence that we had not yet arrived
lat complete state of civilization.
That many people took my warning
and advice to heart and were vacci-
mated, | have good reason to know.
That others did not do SO is more
evident, because from several por-
tons of the state come reports of
more or less serious outbreaks Of
the disease which would not occur in
la completely vaccinated community.
Vaccination, as carried out today
by careful and conscientious physi-
clans, is not any more hazardous
than a ride in a 'flivver'. If he does
not get a take which may cause
his arm to feel bituncomf ortable
it is evidence that he was susceptible
to the disease. Whatever trivial an
noyance there may be from the re-
action due to successful vaccination
is as nothing compared with the
danger and discomfort of an attack
of smallpox, not to mention the dis
hgurement and lifelong mental dis
tress of a peck marked face.

Washington Letter
By James A. Frear, M. C.

The largest legislative problem be-
fore Congress during the next few
months concerns the RAILWAYS. Pres
ident Wilson has postponed his threat
to Congress to return the roads to
private ownership by Jan. 1st. and
the date is now fixed for April 1st, a
suspicious date to the joker who finds
brick under the hat he kicks on
that day. The Esch bill passed the
House last November, after a weeks
debate when the printed bill was
placed on Members desks the day the
bill was considered. A strong vote
was registered against it in the
House. The Cummings bill some
what more stringent than the Esch
bill is now before the Senate and has
been under discussion for several
weeks. Both bills propose to return
the roads at once to private owner
ship, guaranty 6 per cent earnings on
railway properties over maintenance
cost and give increased freight and
passenger rates that will be charged
the public, aggregating several hum
dred million dollars.
Senator La Toilette made fve-day
speech against the bill, which was
slated for quick passage in the Sen
ate. La Toilette knows the railway
question and he revealed some mat
ters that put a temporary halt in the
bills progress. Declaring that any
return to private ownership at this
time means old time railway extrav-
agant management, La Toilette said
such return would Immediately be fol
lowed by an increase of three quart
ers of billion dollars in freight
rates whereas the roads were now
returning a profit of from ten to
twenty million dollars per month un-
der present income rates, which if
continued by Government manage
ment would enable us to get back to
the Federal Treasury $600,000,000
advanced in war time to run the roads
and would save boost in freight
rates Senator Norris asked for an
investigation of specific charges that
railway officials are spending one mil
lion dollars in advertising to persuade
people to write Congress to turn the
roads back. The quest is a big one
to settle fairly in justice to the pub
lie and the roads.
