Little working Bobby.

Clara and Bessie were playing in the yard with their dolls. Clara had been sick, and now for the first time since she had been i'll her mother had let her go out to play with her sister Bessie.
 Their little brother Bob was playing in the yard, too, but he was not playing with his sisters but was romping with his little dog Jack. E.
 Just then their mother came to the door She had been baking pies all morning and other pastry. for it was baking day.
 Clara and Bessie did not look up as their mother came to the door, although they knew she was there, for they knew well enough that their mother wanted some little service of them.
 Bessie, please run over to the store and get me a-dozen of eggs" said her mother.
 But Bessie made on" she didn't hear. So Bobby, snatching up his hat, said ''Ill go, mother" F..
 In little while Bobby returned with the eggs and then began mending his wheelbarrow.
 Ten more minutes passed and their mother again came 10 the door. Tn her hands she held a little pie. Can you guess to whom she gave it?

An Automobile Ride.


 Last week an auto drove up to the front of our house. It was to take us to Vol untown, We were told to get in and after we had ridden half a mile a. cunning rab- bit ran past us. He was as white as snow and coal black spot decorated his ear. He was as quick as thought but not quick enough for us. The wheel went buzzing over the creatures leg. He gave 9 little squeak and seemed as if he were nnping.
 I jumped out and caught the poor little animal and carried him gently in my arms. He seemed frightened but soon grew to fear no harm, for no harm was at hand My heart beat fast as I saw the suffering rabbit in my arms. Now I was in 8 hurry 10 reach my grand mothers, for that's where I was going. At last the auto stopped and we got out I was still carrying my precious burden. I entered the house Just as the last ray of the sun sank in the west, eye ing the beautiful rabbit, who seemed now to be my dearest friend.

 There is trouble ahead for bottlers who have substituted saeclarsne for sugar. Warrants have been served in 26 cases ill the state for violation of the state food and drug law by the use of sacchar rine for sweetenirlg soda and bottled goods, and prosecutions will follow. Prof. F. N. Strickland, Rhode Island state chemist has been analyzing the soda water and bottled goods put up by various concerns throughout the state and he finds that saccharine is commonly used in direct violation of law, and the practice is dele terious to the health. One pound of sac charine is equal to more than 800 pounds of sugar, and bottling works are using the cheaper method of sweetening owing to the high price of sugar The principal bottling companies favored the passage of the state law at the last session of the legislature which provided in part that any sWeetening matter used in the man ufacture of any beverage to which this act applies shall consist of pure cane or beet sugar, or pure corn sugar" Disregard of the law by some is also unfair to the honest bottlers who use su- gar because they cannot compete success fully with the saccharine users. Sac charine sells for about $3.50 and its sweetening power is about 500 times more than sugar Professor Strickland says that is the reason why some bottled goods are sold at from 65 to 90 cents a case. where the price would be $f.25 to $1.40 with real sugar used.
 The professor said: "Saccharine is a drug, no ta food. It is an artificial sweetening, forbidden by law in Rhode Island. It is classed by the federal gov ernment as a drug and it's use as a food is not permitted. When a state permits it's use the federal government. cannot prevent its use in that state, but it can prevent the goods being taken to any other state where there are laws against saccharine."

I wonder how many of the Wide Awakes have to do dishes I think many of them have to and dislike 1t. If you do not like to do dishes here is a game to make it pleasure instead of burden. This is the way:
 Before doing the dishes estimate, but do not count, the dishes. Then when you dry them count them. one by one, until all are dried. Count the tins and all.
 I have tried this and it is very inter esting. I hope all of the Wide-Awakes will try it and like it.

THIS EVENING.
Agreement To Help Stricken Poland
May Be Reached at TOnights

London, August 7. = Premier Mill
Grand of France and Marshal Foch are
expected to arrive at Hythe, England,
this evening, for a. conference with
Premier Lloyd George and Field Mar
shall Wilson on emergency measures
against the Bolshevik armies in Po-
land and Persia. 1t is rumored here
that a message from cambridge Colby,
the American Secretary of State, sent
following yesterdays conference with
President Wilson, has been received by
Lloyd George.
Military aid for Poland, consisting
of one or two divisions each from
France, Great Britain, Rumania, Let
via, and possibly other nations, is one
of the emergency measures to be dis
cussed by the premiers. This plan, as
we'll as other measures, has been rec
commended by the French and British
missions at Warsaw. 1t is proposed
that these reinforcements take field to
defend the capital of Poland.
The sudden appearance of the Soviet
armies outside Teheran, the capital of
Persia, is threatening to change the
entire face of the European situation,
as it is considered direct challenge
to British and French supremacy in
Asia John L. Caldwell, the American
minister to Persia, has received per-
mission to remove the American lega-
tion from Teheran.
Unconfirmed reports from East
Prussian sources state that the Polish
government already has been removed
to Posen, and that the Russian ad-
vance guards are entering the out
skirts of Warsaw.
