.Reddy Fox, hunting through the
snow-covered Green Forest and wen-
dering where the next meal was csnn,,
ing from, and if he ever. ever won1d
know how it felt to have full stom-
ach again, came across a broad trail
in the snow. At first 1t didn't interest
him. He knew who had made that
trail and he knew that he would have
to be hungrier than he then was, and
he was sure that that wasn't possible.
before he would even think Of trying
to get a dinner from that fellow.
"Prickly Perky, the old Quiil-pig,
has been along here" muttered Reddy.

Reddy went on a few steps, hesi-

Prickly Porky's tracks. 81 may as
well see where he is and what he is

can tell me where can find something
to eat"
The truth is Reddy was curious. 1t
wasn't in his nature to pass a trail
like that and not find out what he
could about the maker of 1T. 1t is his
knowledge Of all his neighbors and
their ways that makes him the clever
scamp he is.

A NourishinE Food.
A housekeeper should guard against
the idea. that one kind of food is
necessarily more nourishing than an
other kind because it costs more. The
fact is that nearly all of the most
nourishing foods. such as cereals.
milk. sugar. potatoes and dried peas
and beans are good examples. The
most expensive things. such as lob
ster. mushrooms and squads. are
bought for their flavor rather than
for their food value. other foods
that are likely to cost a good deal
in proportion to the nourishment that
they offer are those that must he
brought long distance, those that
require expert work TO prepare them.
and those that are limited in guam
tity or are out of season In such
cases the price has little to do with
the value of the article.
AS rule. the cost Of food is con-
siderably raised in the kitchen
through useless waste: that u.s. care
lessness in preparing, cooking and
serving the material. Some cooks
habitually peel deep" when prepar-
ing apples. potatoes and turnips and
SO destroy the very best part. Others
throw away the water in which rice
~ ShC SuCCuloHI vegetables,
such as beans, peas and carrots, have
been cooked. That means that they
throw away most of the valuable
mineral element of the food. which
IS held in solution by the water,
serving unnecessarily large portions,
letting 1eft-overs remain in the re-
1rlgerator too long, and throwing
away stale bread or allowing it to
mold in the bread box are other COM
mon methods of wasting food. With
careful planning. knowledge of food
values. analysis of food costs, and
skill in cooking, the efficient house
wife combines prudent economy of
stores and watchfulness with regard
to minor details.
1t is interesting as well as profit

class; as. for instance, the various

saiads, rsdishes and starchy vegeta-
bles. When making out the list for
each class of food, set down the
market price by the pound, the dozen,
or the quart, as the case may be, and
the cost of single portion. Put
down also the cost of the necessary
fuel, and Of the labor stated in terms
or time, which is, of course, little
less for the preparation of a single
portion than of a whole dish.

Identifying the Nose.
ON BOARD STEA

They say that the nose els always
a woman's burden. ora woman's joy"
From my correspondence I know that
my readers often feel very badly
about this part of their faces.
In Il way. very little can be done to
change the shape of the nose: yet that
little is often most important in its
eHectS on a Woman's appearance. A
good facial specialist can cure any
actual deformity, but it is hard to find
really good one. and there are al
ways traps being laid for the unwary
beauty seeker. Some of the surgeons
who did SO much during the war in
patching up disfigured faces, have
turned their attention since to cor
recting lesser facial deformities, and
one very marvellous one, whom
heard of in Paris, is doing splendid
work.
But the ordinary questions concern
ing the nose are simply how to keep
IT'S skin clear and fine-grained and
OFTEN how to overcome a red nose A
nne- grained skin will result if you
use the blackhead cleansing powder
which l so often recommend in these
columns. The redness comes mostly
from digestive troubles. and can be
overcome, of course. by correcting the
digestive disturbances. People with
poor circulation or anemic blood
sometimes suffer from red nose, be-
cause thc circulation is slower in this
part THAN in any other part of the
BODY. Sometimes when the blood is
thick. condition which usually goes
with pimpleS and similar troubles, the
blood congests in the nose, causing
redness.
In any case, I would advise you to
massage and pat the nose all over
with the fnsertips two or three times
day. particularly when the nose is
unusually red, and to massage the
race also. This stimulates the circuIa-
tion and scatters the congestion. and

lrouole II there is no more serious
reason for it. Any generally stimu
