Little Stories For Bedtime

though Ii seemed terrible waste Of
good time and hard work. When they
were too tired to dig longer, they would
take q sun bath or nap on the warm,
sunny slope, or they would 80 hunting.
Then they would come back to work
with new joy in what they were doing.
1t was more real work than Reddy ever
had done in his life before. but was it
mot 10 be his own, his very own, house
and home? The very thought turned
the work into fun, real fun. 4
And 80 at last the new house in the
Old Pasture was finished and 1t was
made Just as Mrs Reddy wanted it.
Before the front door was mound of
yellow sand. 1t told the story Of what
was there to whoever happened along
that way. But that couldn't be helped.
The sand had to come out or there
would be no house. and Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy had no means sof carrying
that sand away as Striped Chipmunk
does when he makes a new house. They
have no pockets in their cheeks, But
there were two back doors, and in
front of these there wasn't 4 trace OF
tell-tale yellow sand. No, sir, there
wasn't trace of yellow sand. Those
two hack doors opened among the
bushes back Of the big rock in front Of
which Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had be-
gun digging. One OF them opened
close under a little bush and the other
opened back of bramble tangie. They
were not as big as the front door.
They were only just big enough to slip
through. You see, they were not i'm
tended for use except in time Of dam
ger. And the reason there was no tell
tale yellow sand in front of them was
because Mrs. Reddy had started those
back halls that led to those back doors
from inside the, house and had pushed
the sand behind her and then out the
front door. Oh, Reddy and Mrs. Red
dy are very clever. very clever, indeed.
And they believe in preparedness. They
were not expecting any danger in their
house, but If II should come they would
have way Of slipping out and away
unseen.

Now Good Time
To Have Gen
eral Cleaning

Now lis the time to clean closets,
storefooms and the attic. Do not keep
the useless clothing, books, magazines
and music you find in these places.
The Salvation Army will be glad to
cali for the clothing. Recreation cen
tres and homes for the aged will be
grateful for the other articles. Chill
dren's hospitals and homes will gladly
relieve you of your accumulation of
postal cards and discarded toys.
The hats and garments you are
saving because you think ''they may
come in handy" might do much good
to some needy person right now, so
why tempt moths by this bait? Credit
it on your list of charities, then talk
it over the the secretary of the Y. NJ.
g. A. or 7. W. C. A., or the Mis-
ssionary committee of any church. They
viii make good use of it.
That bric-a- brac, those pictures and
the furniture you have piled in the
storeroom because you are tired of
seeing it around" will be hailed with de-
light by the committees in charge of
rummage sales. Any pastor will give
you desired information on that.
When cleaning house it is no extra
trouble to set these articles in groups
and postal card or telephone call will
bring the authorized persons to your
home to carry away the respective
groups. Then, if you sell to the junk
dealer all the newspapers, and the bad.
y used clothing. books, magazines, etc.
your closets and places of storage will
be roomy and airy for the summer sea
son when it is not desirable to have
the home cluttered up with a lot of
useless articles.

from pots. A large pot of Towering
greens is reflected in the mirror. and
the whole effect is most charming and
beautiful, as many odd pictures and
bric-a-brac are removed from the room
for the summer to give more space and
repose.
Now lampshades would be another
good idea for a change. In place of the
elaborate silk shades use plain parch-
ment without any decorations, as these
viii add to the restful appearance. Also
remove the window curtains, and if any
are really needed make them of plain
net with ribbon bindings. A few wick
er chairs to replace hot upholstered
nes would be great helps in summer

more informal character.

Guarding Against Disease

Most people are reasonably careful
when crossing crowded throughfAres
and avoid walking on railroad bridges
and keep away from live wires and
third rails.
But they slight even graver menaces
those of disease.
Disease is never far from any per-
son and may so easily be transmitted
from one person to another that it be-
hooves us all TO concern ourselves with
matters of health.
Now that the pleasant summer
months are at hand there is little ex-
cuse for carelessness in the matter of
safe guarding ones health. Nature gives
us all pass books and a checking ac-
count on health. How many of us con-
troll our health supply as we'll as our
banking account? Not many, it would
seem. from a perusal of national health
statistics.
We have the summer before us in
which to store up a big health account
against which we may draw in the
wintertime. The summer is usually
healthy time, barring typhoid epidemics
which are lesssning every year and are,
after all. matters for which our public
health officials are more or less respon-
sible.
Our own individual efforts. should be
directed into channels of personal pre-
vention of disease.
To succeed in this project we must
know something about the diseases
which may occur at any time the year
