Coyote again. He was most po-

nv Badger was ashamed to appear
rude or quarrelsome.
But Benny couldn't help oelhe
disappointed over losing the
Ground Squirrel. And when, al
ter he had dug to the end OF three
more tunnels that night, the same
accident happened three times
more, he decided that something
would have to be done. 1t was
clear that Mr.. Coyotes eyes were
not sharp enough, He was not
nearly so helpful as Benny had eX-
nacted him to be. "We'll have to
change about" Benny announced
at last. "You must dig, while l

But Mr.. Coyote promptly made a
number of objections to that plan
He said, with something quite ike
a sneer, that he had much sharper
eyes than any member of the Bad
ger family that ever lived, and that
he was quicker than a hundred
Badgers put together. And as II
he hadn't given reasons enough Tor

And when he thrust his nose In
to the underground bedroom he
found nobody at home. The Ground
Squirrel had fled. leaving his nest
so warm that Benny Badger knew
he could not have been gone long.
Benny turned away. But he was
not so disappointed as he might
have been, for he remembered
that Mr.. Coyote was watching the
back door. And certainly no ground
squirrel could escape his sharp
eyes.
Hurrying as fast as his short
legs would carry him, Benny joined

How To Keep
Yourself Well

Hydrophobia Is usually the result
OF a bite of a mad dog, or other
rabid animal. The disease develops
some time after the wound has been
received, and once developed, 1t is
almost certainly fatal. It can usual
~ be prevented by means of proper
treatment Immediately after the
person is bitten. Bites of cats.
skunks, wolves. foxes, badgers, etc.,
r also likely to cause the disease,
and the same precautions should be
taken as in the case OF a dog-bite.
Treatment
Make the wound bleed as freely
as possible by pressure, and then
cauterize it freely with strong nitric
acid applied with a stick. If this
Is not available, take a penknife,
piece of iron. or some similar SUBJ
stance, heat it red-hot and apply 1t
to the wound surface. Cover the
wound with a clean bandage or COM
press, but under no circumstances
with adhesive plaster or collodion,
as to do so would seal the poison
within the wound.
The victim should be rushed to a
doctor with all possible speed. If
the biting animal has already been
killed. see that its head is at once
sent to the State Board of Health
for m~icroscopical examination.

NoW Is The Time To Plan
Your Easter Dinner

AS it is a feminine prerogativs to
go to church on Easter Sunday IL
on no other. why not plan an Eas-
ter dinner that can be accomplished
after church?
A fresh strawberry shortcake may
be the special treat in the dinner.
And when shortcake is served the
first part Of the meal should be light
IL full justice is done to the dessert.
Most people, men especially. think
''old fashioned" strawberry short
cake far superior TO any elaborate
affair made with sponge cake and
whipped cream.
II the family likes crispy crusts
it's nice to make individual cakes
but the one big shortcake is softer
and looks quite impressive If served
at the table.

Breakfast: Orange and grape
juice, soft boiled eggs. hot cross buns
and coffee.
Dinner: Consomme, scalloped oys-

For the sake Of the milk it's
worth while trying to induce the
family TO drink cocoa sometimes
for breakfast. Unless milk is drunk
in its simple state most people have
too little in their diet Any food that
uses milk should be welcomed and
served often.
Spinach and Cheese Souffie
One cup soft bread crumbs, u

spinach. 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 3
tablespoons grated cheese. 2 table
spoons butter, u teaspoon salt. is

and p~epper-and cook a few minutes
longer. Remove from fire and add
yolks of eggs beaten till thick and
