Mr.. Mouse. "Stay right where you

by night time, and I do not think
Puss will get me up here, so make
yourself easy; your home shall not

Madam Spider said she could never
thank him enough and off he ran to
make a new door to his home in the
wall.
Some time after this all happened
Mr.. Mouse grew bold again and ran
out of the pantry one day and Puss
saw him.
Around the kitchen she chased him,
and by and by she had him cornered.
He could not get back to the pantry,
and Puss was very sure of getting
him, so she sat quite still and
watched poor trembling Mr.. Mouse,
who was sure his end was near
But he had friend close by,
though he did not know it, for right
over Puss' head was the new home of
Madam Spider and when she looked
down and saw what was going on she
knew it was time to pay her debt OF
gratitude to Mr.. Mouse
Madam Spider let herself down by
a slender thread right over Puss.
Then she swung herself right into one
of Puss' eyes.
Puss bent her head and brushed
her eyes with one paw. 1t took only
a wink of time, but it was enough.
Mr.. Mouse was saved for when Puss
opened her eyes again he was gone.
Madam Spider, too, was safe up in
her home again, feeling very content
ed, for had she not saved the life OF
Mr.. Mouse, who once had spared her
home?
That night, when Mr.. Mouse was
thinking over all that had happened,
he suddenly remembered the Spider
that saved him.
"Why, / do believe it must have
been Madam Spider, whose home l
spared long time ago." he said.
"Well, well! You can never tell when
you will need friend, and even the
weakest ones sometimes are able to
do the biggest deeds of kindness"

Beauty Chats

BEAUTY CULTURE.

REOST women think that beauty cul-
lXx ture consists in an amazing va
riety of bottles and jars and boxes,
with salves and liquids to be applied
externally. A few others scorn all CO.'S
metics and pin their entire faith to
plain soap and water. Whereas, the
real beauty culture steers a middle
course between these two extremes,
and starting by making the body clean
and pure within, uses a few external
applications to help out the good work.
For example-cold cream alone will
not make a good complexion. But
neither, these days, will soap and wa
ter. An excellent digestion and
healthy body, come first, but even so,
dirt will seep into the pores and soap
alone will not clean it out. Air that

Mouse never thought of such thing
as that the pans might be moved.
One day he was bold enough to run
out in the daytime and stayed, and,

come into the pantry, he ran out of

the yard.
Here he managed to escape by run

could not follow him.
All day he stayed there and all
night, too, and it was not until the
next day that he could get back to his
own home.
But what was his surprise, when he

Exercise or exposure usually causes
the pores to become unusually active
resulting in a thin film of oil over the
skin, and a resulting shininess. Mod.
ern standards declare that this is not
beautiful, so the powder box comes
into it's own. Powder is as necessary
as soap, almost. Indeed, it is ques-
ton whether pure powder on the skin
is not better than impure dirt par
ticles. However, powder and all other
applications should be thoroughly
washed off before one retires, leaving
the skin free and clean for the third

the passage of $50 compensation act
for men who served during the World

by the national executive committee of

siderable Roadway in various parts of

definite stand against request for
such compensation.
