READERS DISCOVERIES.


I wish to thank my readers again
for sending in so many of their
"discoveries" and household hints
SO that l may publish them TO help
others who read the column. 1t IS
good to think that housewives care
enough about their sister-house :
keepers to take the trouble to SIT
down and drop me a letter orpostai
in order that some other woman
may save time, labor or money IN
her daily duties. The following are
letters which have come in in the
past few days:

Uncle Wiggily 1T isn't elastic
enough. I'll wrap a leaf from a
rubber plant around it. and paste
IT on with gum from a pine tree.
Then the puff ball will be like a
rubber ball"
So Uncle Wiggily pasted a leaf
from the rubber plant, growing in
the woods, around the puff ball
and then it could be pressed in
and would spring out again as
nicely as you please.
But il isn't quite squirter

mo, it needs long, hollow tube
or stem in it," agreed Uncle Wig
gily.
He took a piece of hollow dande-
lion stem and fastened it in the
rubber leaf-covered puff ball. in
which he had made a hole with a
sharp stick.
There's your squirter, Jillie,"
said the bunny
"Oh, boy" laughed the little
mousie girl. And when she dipped
the dandelion stem in a puddle of
water and squeezed the ball, the
water was sucked uD. And when
Jillie squeezed the ball out spirited
the water.
And, all of a sudden, along
came hopping the bad old Bazoopa!
II want souse! / want Uncle
Wiggily's souse," howled the Ba-
zoopa.

squeaked Jillie, and with her SOUR

doused the bad Bazoopa with mud

cried, "Wouch! Wow" and ran
away without getting any of the
rabbit gentleman's souse at all.
SO it's a good thing Jillie had
