Bunny was up on his toes and
hoped straight out to the. barn.
He waited for us and when we
caught up to him, led US into the
parkway back in a dark corner.
"Well?" said l.
Look there in that box"
I looked down and in the dim
light could just distinguish the
big cat lying in the box.
Bobby knelt down and said with
joy:
''She's got kittens"
''Oh, no, she hasn't" laughed
Bunny.
IF they're not kittens, Bunny,
I'll buy you the largest bunch Of
carrots I can find"
Bring the box out to the light"
commanded Bunny. My mouth

carried it to the light.
What are they?" exclaimed
Bobby as we saw five tiny little
baby animals snuggled up close
to the black cat. ''I never saw
kittens like that"

"Well, what under the sun are
they?" I asked.
"They are family of squirrels.

SAVINGS IN
COOKING
BY Hannah Wing.

TF it's costing you more than
you think it should it's a
good idea to check up on the
little leaks in the cooking budget.
Are the pans that you use in
cooking too large or too small?
The former means extra food
spread over the surface of a pan.
the latter means spilling burned
food or covering another pan
with food.
Is every bit of food scraped
from the utensil it is prepared in?
The breakfast porridge from the
pot before it has been put to soak
the cake batter from the bowl
the mashed potatoes from the
kettle. Here is where "many a
spoonful" ultimately makes a
painful" and the spatula habit
the use of broad flexible bladed
knife for cleaning food from
dishes-is good one to acquire.
Is water from the vegetables
used for soups and from rice for
either soups or rice jelly, a
. wholesome dish in itself when
slightly sweetened, favored and
served with thin cream?
Do the measuring cups hold
back a part of the portion given
to their temporary keeping?
Warming and wetting a cup be-
fore using will make it easier to
get all the contents out.
Is the oven burning things In
spite of watching? A sheet or
two of asbestos on the bottom
may help.
Is the pan used for fudge or
candy making used again for
making pudding to save all the
sweetness?
What about the crater and the
food chopper? Here are holes
for real leaks unless q special
wire brush or some other device
is used to catch all that stays in
or on them.
Is butter removed from the pa.
per before it begins to stick?
And meat before the juices are
lost forever?
Could a double boiler be used
to save foods from hopelessly and
wastefully sticking to the bot
tom Of the pan?
And the pairing knife, is It
good enough and sharp enough
to do its share in keeping down
the expense Of vegetables and
fruits7 A..

Household Hints

If bright saucepans and kettles
have to be used over a smoky
fire, smear a little grease over
the bright part, and it will pre-
vent the smoke from blackening
the kettle. If washed after use
in hot water the pan will be as
bright as ever.
A lump or two of sugar in very
hot water is often sufficient for

TO FIGHT THE BARRIERS
War has Started Between
Beauty Parlors and Barber
Shops in State.

The war between beauty shops
and barber shops will be carried
into the 1925 session of the legisla-
ture at Madison.
Determined to get back at the
BARRIERS, beauty shop operators
are laying plans to put through
legislation forbidding the tonsorial
experts from serving feminine pa
irons or children under 10 years
of age.
No bill has been drafted yet, ac-
cording to late reports, but action
is contemplated, and the question
will be brought up at the coming
session.
The beauty shop owners indicate
that they have not forgotten that
the BARRIERS at one time tried to
prevent them from barbering their
women patrons. Such servi C s
were regarded as being exclusively
in the domain of the barber shop.
But the BARRIERS are not going to
give up without a fight to save
their "bobbing" and "shingling"
trade. Petitions already are being
circulated by the BARRIERS Protect
i've Association of Wisconsin in
protest against any such restric-
ton as contemplated by the beauty
shops.

FAVOR SHORT SESSION
Legislative Members Want
This Coming Session to be
Short and Will Rush Work.

Members of the Wis
consin legislature who have ex-
pressed themselves for a shorter
session than usual when the body
convenes in January, have two du-
ration records, the shortest and
the longest, upon which to figure
the amount of time they think
should be consumed in their de-
alterations. The record for brew
ity will, however, probably stand
for long time to come.
The shortest session, according
to the records, was the third in
1850, which transacted its business
in thirty-four days. 1t was com
posed of eighty-fve members, who
convened on january and adj
journed February II.
The size of the legislature in
creased first to 107 members then
to 1877, and finally 1873, where it
now stands, but the length of the
sessions seldom exceeded 100 days
until the forty-second, in 1895,
which met for 112 days. Since
that time the lawmakers have
spent more than 100 days in the
capitol each session.
The longest session was in 1915
when the fifty-second session was
at its labors for 224 days. It con-
convened January Is and adjourn
ed August "a, a period of 223
working days and met in special
session October 10, 1916, to pro
vide means for taking the soldier
vote of Wisconsin men on the
Mexican border, adjourning the
following day.
The fifty-third legislature was
in session 200 days, the fifty
fourth ZIG and the ffty-ffth 1877.
The ffty-sixth, in 1923, convened
January 10 and adjourned July IA.
