Poor Mrs. Pusscat did not know, SO
she showed them the next picture of
a little kitten being taken into the

"Oh, OH" mewed both Tom and Tim,
"that isn't true, either, is it mother?"
Now Mrs. Pusscat did not like the

Mother Cat would do such terrible

that of five naughty little kittens sit

One was crying, another was pulling
the cloth to get something 1t wanted
instead of asking for 1t. as q well-be-

Another spilled the cream, and an
other was eating too fast and spilling
the food from its spoon, while another
put its foot on the table.
Tim and Tom began to laugh and
their mother told them those little
kittens were all very bad and she
hoped their mother put them all in

"But what are books good for If all

age, personal care counts much for
later beauty. The most common trou-
BILE with young girls is poor COM
plexion, due partly to their develop
ment, partly to the fact that the re-
stricting parental hand is removed and
they can indulge in candy and sweets
to their hearts content. Pimples and
blackheads and coarse-grained skin
are the inevitable penalties.
The hair Is growing fast at this age
too, and needs extra good care and,
frequently, tonic. The growing body
requires so much strength that little
enough is left for the hair, and n
healthy growth is assured II care is

MORE SUGAR FOR YOU.

People who have soft-pedaled the
sugar bowl for six years may be in
terested in the statement that crop
conditions on July promised an in
crease in next falls sugar production
in the United States; an increase
amounting to, approximately, $4,000
tons, or enough to load train of
freight cars 70 or rs miles long, al
lowing 40 tons per car. This pros
pective crop is equal to more than 20
pounds of sugar for every man,
woman, and child within the United
States, and the increase over last
year equals more than six pounds
per person. The sugar-beet crop this
year covers almost million acres as
against the 5-year average of about
tws-thirds of million; and the grow
ing condition on July 1 was above
the I0-year average. There is more
than half million acres of sugar
cane this year, about half of which
is intended for sugar and the other
half for syrup, after deducting con-
siderable amounts for planting the
next crop. There is substantial in
crease in acreage over last year, espe-
eially in Louisiana, where nearly all
the cane sugar of the United States is
made. The growing condition of the
cane in Louisiana is much better than
last year but considerably under the
average for the past nine years. The
Department of Agriculture, which has
carried on a number of projects
looking toward making this country
seIf-sustaining from a sugar stand
point, is cooperating with other
agencies in protecting the crops from
and disease and otherwise pro-
noting the production and utilization
of bumper sugar crop. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that the
forecast for 1920 is based upon con-
ditions on July 1, and the actual out
turn would be above or below this
forecast according as condition be-
tween July and harvest are better
or worse than average.
