starve. And that fear was one which
Chatterer had never dreamed he
would ever know, for always since
his first year he had worked hard
and laid away food in days of plenty
for the days when food might be
hard ton find. His whole life long
he had been truly thrifty. Many of
ms neighbors knew that fear, knew
u we'll every winter. But to
Cnatterer 1t never hadcome before,
NOW, with his biggest storehouse
empty and his other storehouses so
covered with ice that he could not
get into them. the fear that he might
not be able. to get enough to eat had
taken possession Of him. and it was
the greater because he had never
before known it. From storehouse
to storehouse. or to the places where
these storehOuses were, he ran, hop
ing that he might find one into which
he could get But the hollow stumps
and logs which were his storehouses
were covered with snow and q heavy
coating of ice through which he
could not make a hole.
1t was the same with the little
niles of pine cones he had made. in
when he needed them Perhaps
there were still some cones clinging
to the trees. Hopefully he went to

filed his heart with despair The
trees were SO coated with hard ice

sir. he couldn't. Even his sharp

Red Squirrel in such trouble before i?
For long time he hunted among
the broken branches on the ground,
hoping to find some cones there. He
lid find few. but most Of these were
'lso coated with ice so that he could
not get at the few seeds they still
held. He got but two or three seeds,
and these but made him the hungrier,
Finally he sat up on al ice covered
log to rest. and more fOrlorn look

Dertness and sauciness had gone from
him. His tail dropped. He shivered.

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING

young children to care for she should
put them in a pen on the floor Of
her room. or let them play around.
If she has no small children, and pre-
fers to go out-perhaps to the movies
or to shop or make a call-she really
ought to have fireless cooker in the
kitchen in which to start some din
ner dish such as Irish stew or corn
beef and cabbage. which require long
cooking-then her dinner will be
ready when she returns late in the
afternoon.
After resting while, il she stays
home, she can get some of her sew
ing and mending done. Then comes
the getting of dinner and clearing it
away. After dinner, whatever else
she does, she should take time to plan
out tomorrow's menus and make her
ordering Iist from that: this will
make tomorrow mornings work run
more smoothly-for none of US can
think out just what we want when
we are in a hurry. Some house,
keepers. indeed, make out menus for
three days in advance. having their
for these three days. In that way
they have to order only twice week,
or three times at the outside.
On wash day, ironing day and bak-
ing day, however. the room-cleaning
often the bed-making-must be
side-tracked until these three bigger
tasks are accomplished. The room
cleaning must generally be omitted,
in fact, for the housekeeper must
think of her health and not drive
herself too much. And on these
three hardest days of the week, at
least. she should try to lie down in
the afternoon-not go out and exer-
else more.
OF course, reader friends. I know
that you all have some special duty
that other housekeepers may not
have (for few cases are exactly
alike), and this schedule may not fit
your needs exactly. But l hope it
will help somewhat, at least.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Orange Juice.

At what age should begin feeding
my baby orange juice, and how much
and how often? .(Mrs. L. P. P.)
Answer-Give two or three tea
spoonfuls Of orange juice to any other
fresh fruit juice. including tomato
as a fruit. and even canned tomato,
daily, from the fourth month. apart
from regular feeding times. BY the
time the baby is seven months old
he may take the well cooked or stew
ed pulp of fruit and vegetables, few
spoonfuls daily, strained through a
sieve.
Yeast.
Why should yeast not become a
vegetable food like spinach and other
things, as long as it is good food?
Can you tell how to grow yeast in
quantity for food purposes? We have
been eating yeast for a year or more
and find it beneficial, and we like it
as a food. We understand it is rich
in vitamines. (R.. To-
Answer-One objection to yeast as a
staple food is that it lacks the
vitamines which are present in such
staples as spinach. cabbage, carrots,
milk, potatoes, eggs, lettuce, bananas,
tomatoes, wheat bran, whole wheat,
liver, sweetbreads and lean fresh beef
and mutton Another objection is the
exorbitant price of yeast. Finally it
is extremely difficult to grow yeast in
quantities and keep the growth un.
