derstood that she had completely
lost herself in him.
When the end came, and the
gray angel entered the home
where love had dwelt supreme.
Rose stood with a smile on her
beautiful face. She was glad
that his release had come, that
for him there were no more try

Death seemed beautiful to her.
It opened up the closed passage
which led to something higher.
Rose was free once more to
live her life in her own way. She
had the time and money to make
living an art; to fill it with the
beautiful things she loved. With
a quick step and smile on her
face she changed the furniture
In the room where her husband
had passed many weary days and
nights. 1t was refurnished in
white, and contained things dear
to the heart of a child, and the
small crippled boy who was car
ried into it one bright day felt
that God must have remembered
him, after all.
Rose sang, laughed and played
with the happy child and the
days were crowned with a light
which made beautiful both their
lives. She had unconsciously
learned the art Of living by add.

All cooked fruits should be eaten

The habit more especially preva-

the digestion OF the fruit demands
a supply of blood to the stomach

way Is that it acts as a laxative,

FOXYGRANDPA'S STORIES
BUNNY PROVES FOXY GRANDPA'S HENS ARE

, After a few days Bunny came
hopping toward me. 1t was right
after breakfast, and must admit
that had heard a great cackling
in the barnyard.
AS Bunny jumped up on my
knee, he said:

quickly. I've found the culprit.

So we followed Bunny quickly.
When we came to the door Of the
barn he put his paw up to his
lips and said: "Sh" So kept as

And there was q sight ahaI

his back was a big fat rat! And
Graded on his stomach and
clutched in his four feet was a
beautiful white egg! And pulling
him by the tail were two other
big fat rats! The rat carrying
the egg was a regular sledgc.
They were carrying the egg to
their nest without breaking 1t!
"Well, I never!' / exclaimed.
IT never dreamed such q thing
could be possible"
The egg carriage and it's little
rat horses disappeared into the
darkness. I followed and there
back in a dark corner of the barn
at the entrance Of a rat hole were
many broken eggshells. They had
been carrying the eggs there
regularly!

said I.

Good toast, like good steak, re-
Quires q quick soaring on both
sides to seal the surface and keep
the flavor; then a slower cooking
to develop the flavor.
Besides sugar. fat and milk.
bread contains starch and gluten.
Toasting brings out, develops and
changes the flavor of each of
these ingredients. Parched or
dextrinized starch has a sweet,
nutty flavor entirely different
than when untoasted. Sugar is
caramelized for flavor in making
many desserts and although the
amount Of sugar LIS slight, the faint
trace Of caramel in the flavor Of
toast is exceedingly pleasant.
To make good toast, brown each
side just enough to seal it. Then
toast slowly, turning from side to
side until the surface is crisp and
a deep golden brown and the
center Of the slice is tender, CIV
ing almost a sandwich effect.
Bread for toasting should be
cut about three-eighths of an inch
in thickness. Toast and zwie-
bach are two entirely different
things and toast should not be
made to resemble zwiebach. Good
zwiebach can only be made by
baking, not by toasting.
If toast is to be buttered it
should be buttered Immediately
and kept hot by wrapping in q

kitchen. The new electric table
stoves and coasters make perfect
toast possible as each slice may
be served to the individual as It

hot.

one-half does not then cool while
the other IL being eaten. To
many minds no breakfast Is COM
plete without a bit of hot toast
and marmalade with which to
top off. Those who know the
qualities OF well made toast would
not exchange It for any other
form Of hot bread for breakfast.

Some women are troubled with
dandruff. This is usually due to
neglect or else to worry and a
rundown condition. Dandruff is
caused by the skin OF the scalp
shedding dry scales more pro-
fusely than IL should. These
scales mingle with the oil Of the
hair and the result is dandruff.
That is why dandruff is SO often
found n niIry
Wash your hair as often as it
needs washing. When your scalp
feels hot and irritated, the
chances are it is time for a
shampoo. The correct interval
between shampoos may vary
with different persons from once
a week to once a month.
But as long as you have a trace
Of dandruff you should wash your
hair frequently. Twice a week
will not be too often.
Liquid green soap is excellent
for the shampoo. Massage the
soapsuds into your scalp and
through your hair well, then rinse
them out thoroughly in at least
three waters.
Keep your head cool. It is the
hot scalp that grows dry and
causes brittle hair and falling
hair. And in some cases a heated
scalp seems to cause undue oil
and dandruff. Choose hats suited
to the time of year, but not
heavy on your head. Never sit
for hours indoors with your
hat on.
