dogs Bobby would not have been
afraid OF the hunters. for they never
would have been able to find him.
1t happened that one night several
men and dog entered The Green
Forest TO hunt for Bobby Coon. The
dog knew just what was expected Of
him. He was expected to find Bob
by's tracks with his wonderful nose
and follow Bobby until he would be
obliged to take To a tree. Then thai
dog would bark at the foot of the
tree for the hunters to come.
So as soon as they were in the
Green Forest that dog began Ia run
swiftly this way and that way with
his nose to the Gorund. hoping to
find the trail of Bobby Coon. Now,
it happened that Bobby Coon had not
been in that part of the Green Forest
that night and the dog hunted for
long time without getting so much
as whiff of Bobby Coon's scent. He
was getting rather discouraged, when
unexpectedly he almost ran into Tue
Billy 1ossum. who was out hunting
for his dinner.
Now, inc Billy isn't very much Of
runner, but he is a good climber.
Anyway, the meeting with that dog
was so unexpected that there wasn'1
time TO run. Instead me Billy prompt
ly climbed a tree. 1t happened that
the nearest tree was a pine tree and
il was UP this that Inr' Billy prompt
1y scrambled. That dog was almost AT
his heels as he started up that tire.
and he promptly began to bark ex-
citedly. He knew il wasn't Il Coon.
but that didn't make any difference.
IT was some one who could climb
tree and he wanted his master tn
know about H. SO he barlled and
barked.
Inc Billy wasn't afraid He didn't
like that barking but he wans't afraid
He knew that dog couldn't climb. He
was more angry than afraid. You
see. he was hungry and he wanted
10 be hunting for food, and not sit
ting up in a tree.
But presently Inc Billy heard
shouts and the sound of heavy fee
hurrying in that direction. Then h.
was afraid. Pretty soon those hunt
ers had gathered at the foot of th'
tree and began I" talk in great eN
element. tnr' Billy croucheG and
tried to make himself as small a.
possible where the branches were
thickest. He thought if he could keer
out of sight those hunters would e."

Holu to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to prepare.
and saves you about So.

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tiOns and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combina-
tions of pine and syrup. The
"syrup" part is usually plain sugar
syrup.
To make the best pine cough REM
edy that money can buy, put ~.
ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and
ill up with homemade sugar syrup.
Or YOU can use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, you make
a full pint-mOre than you can buy
ready-nade for three times the
money. 1t is pure, good and tastes
very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough Of cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phIegm. The cause is the same-in-
famed membranes-andt this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Splen.

hoarseness, or any ordinary throat
ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract. and is famous the world
over for its prompt effect upon
coughs.

druggist for "zIs ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept

Learning Your Job.

At first glance you may think this
has nothing to do with beauty. But
it has. a lot. Being as beautiful as
possible is a duty, a task. or il you
will, a job. Every woman should
learn how, just as much as she
should learn how to run her house
to take swift, accurate dictation if she
is a stenographer.
It's one of the most important du-
ties. and it's one that she can COM
bine with other work. 1t needn't
take her long-performing this duty
of keeping herself good looking-it
need only be studied well and done
we'll.
For instance:
No one is beautiful without a good
complexion. Now il takes no longer
to eat proper foods than improper
ones. It's all a question Of knowing
which foods are good for the system
and which will clog it and impede its
working and bring on pInples and
blotches. Indeed, from the efficiency
point of view. proper eating is time
saver.
Eat simple. easily assimilated foods
and plenty of green vegetables be-
cause of their vitamines and minerals.
Drink plenty of water. Take fruits
rather than thick puddings.
Take eXercise-outdoors. in the
form Of play or work if you can,
otherwise indoors as gymnastic. ex-

Scarf of Frock Material Returns
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

1t was not possible for the handker-
chief fashion to remain isolated. 1t
was the forerunner of varied as
sortment Of neck drapery.
The handkerchief itself should have
been isolated to the period of youth.
but no group of dressmakers is suf-
ficientiy powerful to keep age from
aping youth. Women who tip the
scale at $50 pounds gaTly filched the
handk fashion from eel-llke
girls. appearing with bandannas about
their fat. red shoulders and unsup-
pressed hips. Such doings make a
stout woman grotcSque. Pity is that
she has no slave to hold up the mir
ror to her foolishness.
Those who realized the danger Of
the handkerchief fashion hoped that
the frostS of winter would kill it. Yet
il was natural that it should reach its
apeX of popularity in the season when
those who live in cold weather go
down to enjoy themselves in warm
weather. 1t was to be expected also
that the weaverS of fabrics, anxious
to put novelties ON the market at a
time when women demanded them,
should see in the use of large hand
kcrchiefs an inspiration for spring
fabrics. So the fashion remains. But
the delightful result is that it creates
other fashions which have more grace.
The shoulder scarf which becomes a
bit of drapery is one of these. Women
are accustomed to the separate sport
scarf made Of wool, brightly striped
or embroidered. and there was q time
when the heavily embroidered Indian
scarf had its own way with women.

cook a little more. BY the time the
