There was one Nuisance Fairy
who had given very little trouble.
All the time that Jack Frost was
cutting up his antics in the spring
and Old Man Flood was out tearing
around. he dozed and nodded and
didn't take an interest in anything.
And when Howly Thunder and
Jumpy Lightning got out the bass
drum and flash light and started off
on a grand parade. dumping over
Sprinkle-Blow's barrel marked
Hard Storms" and pouring rain
down on the earth, this fellow went
sound asleep. You'd have thought
he'd never wake up.
But after the blossoms had come
and gone on the trees and little
hard green balls appeared in their
places (Which would one day be ap-
pies, peaches, pears, cherries or
plums) and after Farmer Smiths
sass-patch garden had a good start,
and after all the little pinlky, greeny,
Whitley, blue speckled eggs in the
nests had cracked open to let out all
sorts of lazy youngsters Screaming
their heads off for worms) this old
fairy stirred.
He got up out of his big easy
chair and stretched and yawned and
blew his hot breath out in great
puffs and said he believed that he'd
take his turn getting some exercise.
The other Nuisance Fairies crowd
ed into a corner when he passed and
no one interfered. Out he marched

Editorials For
Women Folks

Unusual about Polly, wasn't it?
AS a general thing folk don't tell
about their own weaknesses. their
own tendencies to step over the
traces now and then. They remain
silent and let their friends find it
out for themselves and sometimes
they never find it out and SO much
the better,
But it vas different with Polly.
Polly was young and Polly was pref
ty and Polly was very much alive.
And more than that Polly wanted
her friends to know it.
So Polly talked!
She talked about all kinds Of LID
uors in the most familiar way. She
talked as though she had been there
worlds of times-about the eating
and dancing places which were just
a shade too smart and a whit too
gay. She smiled wisely at too
risaue stories. And looked on too
knowingly when folk and subjects
a bit off color were mentioned.
And SO Polly, who talked, was
talked about.
Folk whispered things. No one
ever really knew. No had ever
seen her % anything that wasn't
quite all right and no n had ever
seen her at a place about which
there might be a question.
But they talked-because Polly
had talked.
Poor, silly little Polly had a bad
reputation, when she was really a
good little girl, just because she
wanted to seem smart.
She didn't realize how silly and
how shallow 1t all sounded and
there was no one to tell her that

HOROSCOPE
rhe stars tnclin bu. do not compel

This is read as a threatening day
by astrologers. Venus, the Sun. Sat
urn and Neptune are all in malefic
aspect. Mars and Jupiter are friend
ly.
AS the sinister planetary forces
dominate this is a rule under which
to pursue all vacations quietly.
1t is a Sunday for calm reflection
and analysis, rather than action.
Women appear to be subject to
the most unfortunate direction of
the stars, making for suspicion, bad
judgment and uncertainty.
1t is an unlucky government for
love affairs as well as for friendly
association. The wise will postpone
visits.
Ministers are likely to feel that
congregations are unresponsive and
critical with Neptune in evil place
this morning.
Saturn is in a place that is believ-
ed to cause material possessions to
seem more precious than intellec-
tual attainment.
The power Of this sinister planet
is seen in the growth of ~sensnality
and materialism, which are to be
overcome by better conditions within
d SHUT llIlos
Mars today seems to encourage the
ambitions of military men, even to
the point of activities in which they
will gain fame.
Jupiter gives promise of success
to constructive methods of every sort
and big business will benefit through
constructive methods of every sort
and big business will benefit through
cooperative enterprises.
The stars. p~ositioned as they are
at this time stimulate the powers
that are bent on reactionary mea-
sures hat tear down reforms brought
about during war times.
The seers declare that the achieve
ments that make for moral progress
will not be wiped out by the powers
of evil. even though they operate
skilfully.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
expect an active year in business. Do
nestle affairs may not be altogether
satisfactory.
Children born on this day will
probably be bright and clever. These
subjects of Leo are usually
Ful in business.

Child's SIeep

Among the factors affecting the
health of the child which are en-
tirely controlled by the home, sleep
is important. Children from 6 to 10
years should have about 10 or IL
hours Of sleep in the "a. From the
age of 10 to 16. the amount of sleep
should be about nine hours. Every
child should sleep alone. as far as
this is possible, in a quiet, well
ventilated room.
The more outdoor life a child has
the better he will sleep. On the 9TH
err hand a heavy meal in the evening,
the use of tea or coffee, DISTRACTED
breathing, earache, toothache and
similar conditions are apt to inter-
fere with the child's sleep.
The windows in the room should
be open so that the child may have
plenty of fresh air. He may be pro-
tected from drafts by the use of
screens and from cold by soft light
covers and hot water bottles when
necessarily. During the day living
rooms should be flushed with fresh
air for a few minutes at a time.
A short nap in the afternoon will
also help the child's development.
both physically and mentally. 1t may
be for only an hour, but it will be
enough to produce alertness in brain
and body. The child should then
be allowed to play for the afternoon
and part of the early evening.
Above all. parents should see that
their child goes to bed at the regu-
lar time. Late hours harm the
child and make him irritable and un
manageable. Whether he wants to
or not parents should inculcate in
him the habit of going to sleep

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Corn should be canned the day it
is gathered before any of the nat
ural sweetness is lost.
When cutting the kernels from
the cob be careful not to cut too
deeply.
To Can Corn
Remove husk and silk from ears
of corn. Put into a large kettle of
boiling water and let boil 10 min
utes. Take from boiling water and
put Immediately into cold water. Let
stand in the cold bath just one min
ute. Cut off the cob Pack loosely
in jars. Add l t~easpoonful of salt
and l t~easpoonful of sugar to each
Quart jar. Fill with boiling water
and half seal. If screw top Mason
jars ars used turn the lid on as far
as it will gor using the thumb and
fourth finger. Then give the lid a
half turn back. If the corn is pack
ed loosely in the jars the cans should
be filled full. But if packed tightly
allow inch for expansion during pro-
ceasing. Put half-sealed jars into
the hot water bath. The water
should cover the jars at least two
inches. Put cover on boiler and boil
three hours. Count the time from
the minute boiling begins. The
jars will cool the water and stop
its boiling when they are put in. At
the end of three hours remove from
the boiling water and finish sealing
Cool as quickly as possible, keeping
the jars from a draft. The work
should be done quickly and the corn
not allowed to stand long between
steps. Do not try to do too large a
quantity at one time.
To Dry Corn
Dried corn has a sweet nutty
taste it's impossible to find in can
ned corn. After corn is carefully
dried there is never any danger of
its not keeping.
Large drying frames are not ex-
pensive to buy and are a good in
vestment as they may be used Yer
and over again.
Remove husks and silk from ears
of corn. Put into boiling water and
eight minutes. This sets the
milk in the kernels and insures per-
feet cleanliness. Cut the kernels
about half way down to the cob.
Scrape out the rest, being careful
not to pull out any of the hull.
Spread on the drying trays in thin
layers and dry in a slow oven. Stir
turn the corn frequently while
When trittle store in glass

proof. When dried corn is to be
it should be soaked in cold
for three hours and then
brought quickly to the boiling point
and boil rapidly for twenty or thirty
minutes. 1t may then be seasoned
and used in any way that canned
corn might be used.

NEW YORk-This is the time of
year when the city woman, as well
as her country sister, is realizing the
importance of the sweater.
OF course, the answer, as far as
city women is concerned, is the in
creasing intrusion of sport and com-
fort costumes for hot weather.
Long ago the taboo was placed
upon the skirt and blouse without a
jacket for street wear. So what can
the poor woman do?
She can wear one of the thinnest
developments of the sweater idea

l'nI inclined TO think that for all
her apparent disapproval, Mother

silent fight between the village and
myself. She took a certain grim
pleasure in it.

I half smiled thinking how Colin

had succeeded.
