 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy had heard so many sto- ries of pirates, they knew as soon as this Pirate Captain came up to the Blowgee's hat-home that the pirate would make a whole lot of trouble and spoil their fun.
 The Blowgee was 8 very kind-hearted creature who lived in his hat, and gave away ice cream so- das and hot weiny sandwiches and boxes of cracker jack to everyone who came along. He never charged even a penny for any thing.
 So when & pirate captain with a wood- en leg and long black mustache came along and just said, T want everything the Blowgee has!" Why! That took away every speck of fun that the Rag gedys and the Blow gee and the Tree max and the wood,

WHAT MOTHERS
 SHOULD KNOW
By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST Bites And Stings Of Insects

The small boy dearly loves to i'm vestigate a hornet or wasp's nest, or a bee hive. Now the lad who can get away with this is in a class of his own.
 Bees, and esp p(ecially hornets, are particularly vindictive when dis turbed, punshing the offender bit terly with their poisonous stings. If ammonia water is immediately ap- piled to the wounds, pain and swell ing can be prevented. A raw onion bruised and applied to the spot stung by a hornet acts well in some cases The following, If applied at once, will prevent inflammation: Sallicylic acid, AS grains; flexible collodion, l ounce.
 Prompt attention should follow the bite or sting of an insect. The large Variety of ant that infests certain trees, animal and sand fleas, ticks, spiders, wasps and bees, all eject poison under the skin, which besides causing considerable pain, may prove fatal in some persons who are pecu- liarly susceptible, or in a nervous child who may develop convulsions
 Anything that draws out poison before it is absorbed into the system should at once be resorted to. Ihe quickest way to do this Is by sucking the wound The first aid" to the sufferer however, must be carefui not to swallow the poison. Poultices of earth (mud) act as counter irrl- tant. Cooling poultices of mashed potatoes, bread and milk. lettuce ana cabbage leaves soaked in oils, any thing that soothes and draws out the sting and reduces the bite will prove helpful.
 Insects that burrow under the skin can be removed by covering the parts with sweet oil.
 Insects sometimes find their way into the mouths of sleeping children, hence if is always well to cover the
