Their questions at the hands of the
committee when he was already a
defendant in suit in court, institut-
ed by the United States.

that Mr.. Lttleton's position is emin-
emily the correct one; in fact that it
was an unheard of procedure to en-
deayor to wiring from a defendant in
a case at bar, by an inquistorial body
representing the same interests as the
plaintiff, facts relative to the case he
was going to be called upon to de-
fend himself against.
The Dempsey-Carpentier fight
films, the whiskey ring of New York
and about everything else in ancient
history has been dragged into the
proceedings of the two committees

The crux of the whole natter rests on
whether the Teapot DIME and the

The senator's reference b bringing
this country down to lvel with
Russia recalls the fact thu Senator
Wheeler spent last summer mingling
with the heads of the soviet govern
ment and perhaps he would like to
kussianize this country as fa as he
can. At least he has been dharged
with such sentiments by very prom
inent men in Washington.

Eats Thirty Meals a Day

Four stages in two months-egg,
caterpillar. pupae, and adults the
life story Of the mulberry moth, or silk
worm. Within three days the female
lays several hundred eggs, often dying
before the ordeal Is completed. The
moth never lives more than three days,
and seldom moves more than three
inches, OF its own accord, during Its
short life. Neither the male nor the fe-
male ever eats anything; the adults
whole existence LIS devoted to raproduc-
ton. When 1t comes from the egg the
caterpillar is no thicker than a hair,
but 1t eats 30 meals day, and at the
end OF 20 days 1t weighs about 10000
times as much as when hatched. The
essence Of what went into the cater
pillar as mulberry comes out as silk.

Immediately adjacent to the most beautiful sec

and the right sort of pull-to-gether here will
soon see the opening of a direct improved high
way to the park which would in time Prove the
most popular route of all the various routes used

desires to see Red Lodge forge to the font in the

CHAPTER 53

Neither of the girls suspected that happening was even then on its way to them.
 It came in the form of one of the deacons of the church. Mrs Fisher opened the front door for him in her way to the patients room after dinner.
 ''The bell rang as was passing" she explained to the two sisters in the tone habitual to her in the sick room. So I went to the door. 1 hope that was all right?''
 Certainly" Marian replied. Who was thereI'
 MT. Banscombe--from your church. he said He wished to see you young ladies'
 Marian sighed "Oh. dear people mean well. but 1 wish they would stop calling for a while! Deacon Banscombe is good man-but he is bore We'll go down and"
 She stopped abruptly. Her fathers heavy breathing, to which she was be- coming accustomed, was interrupted by a sound almost like a groan. Then the regular respiration was resumed.
 Why does he make that noise?' she demanded. her face paler than usual.
 Oh that means nothing the at tendant assured her People who have had strokes often do that. Their throa ts get dry probably. and they make that sort of choking sound for moment It's nothing to worry about my dear
 Marian bent over the bed and dropped kiss on the lined forehead.

 Then she turned to her sister. Shall we go down now and see the deacon?'
 You go on down." Lois suggested T will follow in few minutes if he has not gone. You find out what he wants. If it is only to inquire about father, he won't stay. If I come down he may get to talking church matters and he is such A bore! But if I do not hear the front door close in ten minutes I will join you and help en- certain him."
 ''Yes. dol" Marian urged. "If he wants to talk church matters. you are the one he should see-not me- With another glance at the pale face on the pillow, she went from the room and downstairs

band? He and l never had any trOu- ble except that brought about by my mother. Can l raise boy without his father. and make him the same type of young man he would be if he had had fathers influence? WORRIED MOTHER.
 Answer: I should think there would be no doubt whatever that you and your husband should kiss and make mp and set up a new home which should be always as far as possible from your meddling mother. Both. you and your husband have had bitter lesson which should have taught you to be more patient and forbearing with each other, and the folly of listening to the tale-bearer, even if she is your own mother.
 How any mother can be so cruel and wicked as to delibera tely wreck her daughters home -and stir up trouble between her and her husband only the devil himself knows. But many moth- CTS do it. The first suspicion of her husband that many a trusting young wife has is generally implanted by her own mother. who feels it her sacred duty to tell Mabel that she thinks it very strange that Thomas has to go off on so many business trips and that it is extremely odd that he has to have such pretty young girl for . stenos- rapher. Also mother gets in her dead ly work by criticizing her daughter's s husband and calling attention to his every defect until she works daughter up to the point where she finds her husband unendurable.
 In every broken-up home the chill dren are the chief sufferers, and so wherever it is possible for husband and wife to come together again and patch up their difficulties, it is their bounden duty to do so, for neither mother nor a father alone can give child the right environment or raise it properly.
 Truant officers and the officials in the juvenile courts all unite in sayins that nine-tenths of the delinquent children and youthful criminals are the boys and girls who were raised in homes of strife or that they are the children of divorced parents.
 Certainly no woman, no matter how devoted a mother she is. can rear a boy properly, because no woman can uhueIstaHu the psychoiOBy oL Doy. She is either too weak or too strict, and the result is that she makes a hoodlum or a sissy of him. Every hoy needs fathers firm hand over him, a fathers understanding and advice. Don't deny your son that privilege, Worried Mother.

My Neighbor Says:

Parchment shades. if they are she1lacked and vanished. may be washed with soap and water. A little furniture polish applied after washing helps to brighten them.
 When making cake, measure your flower after sitting 1t. This means economy in flour and light cake. Too much flour causes the cake to break open while baking. Don't use inferior butter; it is poor economy. Don't melt the butter, as this will change the flavor and texture of the cake. Don't allow cakes to cool in pans unless the recipe specially calls for it. Such cakes are sure to be damp at tho bottom.
 To remove blot of ink or an incorrect figure or letter, If an eraser is not handy use a piece of fine sandpaper pressed tightly over tho finger. Rub this gently on the spot till it disappears.
 When making sauces remember that the proportions of materials are ono tablespoon each of flour and butter to Q half pint of fluid. Cook butter and flour together un- til the mixture bubbles, pour tho liquid upon them and stir until smooth, then season. Longer cook ing makes sauces thicker.
 About one teaspoon of bOrax to one quart of water is an excellent solution for stiffening very thin fabrics and fine laces.

Rest Cure Magic
By V. JEssiE IEIroH

Spring was just beginning when the man who lived in the cabin on the ridge brought his wife to Cherry Gulch.
 She was delicate woman of the slender, elfin type-not in the least the kind of woman to draw pails of water from a deep well or search for fire or in fact, to do any of the one and thirty things a person does miles and miles beyond the railroad But she was a determined little wom- an and if she had not been wistfully waiting for so long to come to this man of hers who had elected to reclaim A fortune from the edge of the desert she might have given up the first time that the water pail fell back into the we'll, or the time the green sticks re- fused to burn, or when the clean washed clothes would not stay on the bushes, where she had spread them to dry.
 But she did not give mp. She grew brown and strong helping to wrestle with life in the raw.
 It was toward the end of the summer that she sickened mysteriously with some low fever. Her husband, who was very worried. attributed her illness to the water, the soil the nir-anythinG to make an excuse that would not alarm this slender little woman. who lay so white and silent in her bed.
 She worried about typhoid, of course, and things like that
 Just plumb done in--that's what you are," her husband said. "A good long rest fin bed will cure you"
 And so 1t proved. In spite of her protests, this big man put his wife to bed, made her stay there for almost three weeks. He would not allow her to worry about the housework, declar- ing that her strength meant more to him than all the housework in the world.
 Plain fare she had. of necessity. but that Is always better than fancy foods Eggs and milk and sometimes fruit from the little store at the crossroads. But she had luxuriouA rest--lOng hours of idling in thought, of just re- laxing and giving her tired body up to tho magic of rest. And in month the woman was well again. able to eat as she said, like horse." The elasticity returned to her step. Faint color rose in her cheeks. Her eyes were bright and she felt happy-the truest test of health.
 Very often woman becomes down. right i'll, and enormous doctor bills and other expenses are incurred in an at tempt to find health for her again. Sometipes she is nervous wreck for life, causing misery and discontent to the family us well us to herself Many home has been wrecked because of nervousness"
 Women are of delicate mechanism. and too often take less care of them selves than they do the bits of ma chinery used in their households. They are their electric irons. and oil their sewing machines, mad take care of their fine linens and laces. But they allow their own bodies to become tangled and out of tune, They attempt more than is humanly possible and wonder why their nervous systems pro- test with many wrecking grOan,
 If, once in while, a woman would go to bed for week and rest she might avoid many long illness and save many a doctors bill.
