Farmer Brown BOY.
It is supposed that people eat to
live, but it sometimes seems as if
baby birds live to eat. My, my, my,
such hungry little people as they
are! You see, they grow so fast
very fast indeed. They grow so fast
you can almost see them grow. This
is why they need SO much food. The
four babies of Drummer the Wood
pccker and Mrs. Drummer were just
like other bird babies. No sooner
were they all fed than all began
crying for more. Drummer and Mrs.
Drummer We're kept busy from day
light to dark hunting for food for
them.
The thoughts of both were now
wholly of those babies. Drummer
was even more proud of them than
he had been of the eggs, but he had
no time in which to show his pride.
He had even forgot to worry about
Chatterer the Red Squirrel. His only
thought was of food. My, how he did
sleep nights! 1t was just the same
with Mrs. Drummer. Both were so
tired when night came that they
were asleep the instant they had
settled down.
Then one morning rs Drummer
was flying over to the maple tree
with food for those crying babies
l,n 1, -
heart almost stand still. What he
saw was Ghatterer the Red Squirrel
making straight for that maple tree
"Oh, dear" thought Drummer,
ooh, dear me! Now one of us will
have to oe on guard all the time,
and how ever will those babies get
enough to eat?"
He hurried on and found Mrs.
Drummer just coming out of the
doorway. He told her what he had
seen, and together they waited. They
didn't have long to wait. In mo-
ment or two they saw Chatterer
scampering across the dooryard
straight for that maple tree. They
saw him leap up on the trunk and
start up.
Suddenly surprising thing hap
pened. Chatterer fell back to the
ground! The Woodpeckers ceuldn' t
understand it. Chatterer himself I'M
dcrstood it still less. Once more
he tried, and once more the same
thing happened The third time
Chatterer climbed carefully. He
didn't rush us he had done at first.
SO it was that when he came TIC the
band of tin put around the trunk of
the tree by Farmer Browns Boy he
didn't make the mistake of Jumping
onto it as he had done before. He
simply put one paw up, and found
right away that his claws would not
catch into this queer thing.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

mond paste, and that your oriental
rugs were made in New Jersey.
They never fail to make everything
you are and have dust and ashes
in your teeth.
Still another lethaI weapon with
which the kill-joys do happiness 20
death is discoura cement. They are
black ravens that forever croak fail
ure and despair in your ears. You
have your bright ambitions, your
high hopes, YOU have energy, and
determination, and youth, and
strength, These count as nothing
to the kill-joy They assassirAte
your very soul. They never reg
until they have undermined your
faith in yourself, and Slapped your
strength, and paralyzed your energy,
and you have no more pep left in
you.
God only knows how many kill
joy women, with their dismal fore
bodin9s of disaster, and their pes
semistic preachings, keep their hus-
bands hobbled and bound at She
foot of the ladder instead of letting
them mount to the top of it as they
had the ability to do. God only
knows how many gifted boys aId
girls have lived and died poor and
obscure instead of achieving brilliant
careers, because their kill-joy par
ents crushed their spirits with their
direful prophecies of the disaster
they would meet if they attempted
to do anything beyond making bread
and butter.
Now, husbands and wives do not
often, with malice aforethought,
make each other miserable. Nor
do parents willfully ruin the happi-
ness Of their child{en.
But all the same these kill-joys ON
the earth, from whom we cannot es-
cape, except by divorce or death, do
more to spoil our lives for us than
battalions of malign enemies could
accomplish.
For happiness is made UP of little
things; of little plans, little hopes.
little aspirations, little comings and
goings. little belongings and if you
take our pleasure cut of all these,
there is nothing left to us.
Therefore, watch yourself and see
that you are not kill-joy. Wet
blankets are. cold and clammy prop
ostions, and no one likes to have
one about.

Dear Folks: How many OF YOU
have beds of the vari-colored. ragged
robins, or corn flowers in your
yards? Those who haven't such
plot Of loneliness, go forth and plant
one.
Year before last we planted a
had a nice bed of flowers. Last year
it was nicer still and this spring it
is simply a riot of fioWers-alWayS
fresh flowers in the house vases, and
the brightest imaginable spot in the
garden.
This year I have bought three
packets of wild garden" seeds, fol-
lowing the example Of a friend. She
planted her three packets of seeds
in rotation last year. and all through
the winter she had a nose gay"
from her wild garden. My advice
to flower lovers is to try this with
me.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
Myrtle: Yes, colored leather Shoes
or rather slippers of the sandal type
are quite in vogue. Unless you can
have several pairs Of slippers, my
black, white, brown and gray.
Bill: Just rest your hand lightly
under the girls elbow when helping
her over a rough place, or when
walking where it is dark.
Jessie: Brown linen does make
good bloomer dresses for the early
season, but it is too warm for actual
summer wear. The pongee is better.
Marilou: Yes, / am opposed to
enameled faces. That ruins the skin.
Mother of Six: You lucky woman,
to be able to make such dainty tat
ting for your little girls dresses.
Nothing is in better taste than SIM
pie white tatting. You want the sim
pliest of patterns and made of not
too coarse thread. OF course if you
have time to whip it on, SO much
the better, but how can you have
with all you have to do? I wisa
you would condense that schedule
that you sent me and let us put it in
our Question Box. I know it would
help some other busy mother.
J. T. R., Chester, Ca: If a letter
with your name came into the Let
tex Box and was published, it must
have been because it was good
enough to print. Receiving over
thousand letters a month, it is, of
course, impossible for me to keep a
record of letters. L did get a letter
from one of the cousins asking you
to write again, so your letter
must have been interesting. Of
course, when they once appear in
the paper it is a sure sign that they
have passed in their original state
from my hand to the printer and I
see them no more except in print,
and also, of course. I cannot re-read
all the letters in the box.

HOUSEWORK IS A BURDEN

Woman's lot is weary one at best.
But with backache and other distressing
kidney ills life indeed becomes a bur-
den. Doan's Kidney Pills have made
life brighter for many Milford women.
Ask your neighbor
Mrs. Harry Hudson, East Front ST..
Milford, says: MY back panied and
ached so I couldn't do my housework.
At times to bend was impossible. 1 was
tired and it seemed I couldn't get rest
ed. At night when 1 went to bed felt
as though 1 were lying on boords, my
back hurt so. Lots of times dizzy spells
came over me, blurring my sight, and
had to be helped to a chair so could sit
down. A relative who had used Doan' S
Kidney Pills, advised me to try them
and must say the first few worked
wonders for me. The continued use of
Doan's helped me so much that 1 was
finally relieved. I am not bothered
now."

ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan s

had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs, Buff
