cooks with great white caps and great
white aprons. They were stirring an
enormous cauldron which had some
thing very hot in it by the look of the
smoke which came out. All the COOKS
were humping into each other and each
was trying to tell the other what to
do. There was no order and there was
nothing but confusion. And above was
large sign which read:
TOO many cooks spoil the broth 2"
And as the guests were clapping, all
the cooks threw up into the air the
spoons they had been stirring the broth
with and cried:
1T is quite spOilt, there is no
use in doing anything now"
Then they saw the curtain lowered
and in another moment it was raised
again and there were many children
sitting in front Of huge dishes of food.
Their eyes were as enormous as could
be and their mouths looked very small.
Over them a sign read, "Their eyes
were bigger than their mouths" For

to eat more than they found they
could.
Again the curtain was lowered and
again itswas raised.
This time they saw a great many
people smiling and laughing and in the
distance. from where they had come,
were many bridges.
"We didn't worry or cross our
bridges until we came to Them" they
cried, "and so we didn't waste our
time worrying but went ahead and
when we came to them they weren't
bad at ALL"
And so the entertainment went on,
winding up with a glorious winter
storm which they all watched as they
sat and ate a delicious supper which
Witty Witch had prepared for them.

Foot Scraper a Curiosity.

In the rear of st. Pauls church,
Broadway and Vesey street, on the
edge of the stone steps, are two little
pieces of iron of a pattern that was
most essential before Broadway was
even macadamized, says the New York
Post. They are foot scrapers. and 1t Is
safe to say that you would hunt some
time In Manhattan before others could
be found.
Years ago most homes and places Of
business had foot scrapers at both ends
of the buildings. Indeed. II was a
breach of etiquette to enter home
or shop without scraping the mud or
snow off your feet.

To Avoid Rough, Coarse.
Chapped, Blotchy Skin

Most skins require constant grooming
at this season to keep them from becom-
ing unduly red, blotchy. coarse, rough or
harsh, or if such condition has developed,
to overcome it In such cases it is partic-
ularly inadvisable TO keep pilihg on cos
metics which clog the pores and make the
complexion worse than ever.
It's a lot more sensible to use ordinary
mercolized wax, which literally absorbs a
spoiled complexion. Apply the wax, like
cold cream, before retiring. Next morning,
in washing it off, youll wash away fine,
flour-like particles of the unsightly cuticle.
Repeat for a week more and you'll have
an entirely new skin-soft, white, spotless
and beautiful n child's. One ounce of
mercolized wax. procurable at any drug
gist's, is all you'll need.
Some skins wrinkle easily in winter
There's an excellent remedy in a harmless
wash lotion made by dissolving an ounce
of pure powdered saXolite in Il half pint of
witch hazel This will quickly eradicate
all lines and furrows.-Advertisem

HEAVY LOSS TO FARMERS
j. III. Barnes Tells of americas
Tragedy of transportation

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 23.-Julius II.
Barnes, head of the government grain
corporation during the war, and one
of the biggest grain exporters in the
country, today declared that north
west farmers have lost $425, 200, 900
this year because of what he calls
Americas tragedy of transportation. :"
The loss, he said, includes 100000
900 on grain and S25,OOO,O0O on pota-
toes. He declared that huge supplies
of potatoes are rotting in the fields
and in sacks, waiting freight cars.
In North Dakota, he pointed, the
local elevators are crowded with grain
and great piles of it stand at shipping
points out in the open. He condemns
alike the breakdown of transportation
on the railroads and on the Great
Lakes, which usually carry a large
part of the grain from Duluth and
Suparior to lower lake ports.
