dark to see what that sugar house
was like. All they had seen then was
a dark mass with two little ~luares
of light, which were the windows
Now they could see just what ,ist that
sugar house was. and they didn't
know what to make of 1t. Never had
they seen anything at all like it. For
a long time they sat without moving,
simply staring at that sugar house
Now. it happened that that morn
| ing Farmer Brown and his boy had
| taken a load of sugar over home, so.
of course. the sugar house was de-
| serted. Little by little Boxer and
Woof Woof stole nearer. The nearer
| they got the stronger became that
| delicious smell. 1t didn't take them
| that sugar house.
| DO you think it will be safe to
! go any nearer" whispered Woof
| Woof to Boxer.
Just then who should appear but
Peter Rabbit. Peter had been spend
| ing the night in the Green Forest and
! that morning had decided to visit
/ Farmer Browns sugar house and see
what was going on there. When
| Boxer caught sight of him he was
hopping along past the door.
There's Peter Rabbit" whispered
Boxer. THAT fellow would run from
his own shadow. and if he isn't afraid
there is nothing for us to be afraid
Of. Come on, Woof Woof."
But Woof Woof hung back. Boxer
kept on. From one tree to another
he crept, peering around each. and
studying that sugar house before
moving ahead to the next. All was
peaceful and quiet and finally Boxer
reached the sugar house without any
! thing happening to frighten him.
Then he grew bold.
Come on" he called to Woof Woof
| 1T is nothing but big pile of wood.
There is nothing to be afraid Of I'm
not afraid"
To prove it Boxer began to sniff
about the sugar house. The first good
sniff told him that that delicious
smell was coming from inside He
promptly began to look for a way of
getting in. But the door and win
dows were closed. Two or three times
Boxer went clear around that sugar
house., By that time he had lost all
fear. Woof Woof still sat at a safe
distance. looking on. Boxer began to
show Off. He climbed up to the roof.
He walked along to the chimney.
There the delicious smell was stronger
than ever. 1t came up the chimney
Boxer tried to look down. He got his
, lungs full of smoke. which made him
jump back and cough and stranSle
so that he lost his balance and rolled
down the roof, landing with thunp
on the ground. Instead of frightening
him. this only made him angry. He
would get into that sugar house
somehow.

Merriam found herself thinking as

Eat En- Raw.

Cooking, at least in the ordinary
way, impairs the vitamin content of
food which contains vitamins in the
raw state.
Even the comparatively mild de-
gree of heat (about 140 degrees Fab
renheit for twenty to thirty minutes)
used in pasteurizing milk certainly
diminishes the vitamin content of
the milk.
Cooking food which is naturally
acid, such as tomato, diminishes the
vitamin value but little; canned to-
mato juice is just As good for the
prevention of scurvy in infants as
fresh orange juice is.
Cooking food with an alkali, as, for
instance, adding soda or saleratus to
the water in which food Is cooked,
greatly impairs the vitamin value.
