There was once. a beautiful
young girl by the name Of 10, and
Jupiter thought she was a very

Juno very angry, because she
thought there was no one in the
whole world as charming as she
herself.
Nov, Jupiter knew that Juno
would do something terrible to
10, so in order to save her from
harm, he turned 10 into a COW.
But he didn't fool Juno for a
minute. She discovered the de-

Jupiter to give her the beauti-

heifer is a Young lady cow-as a

Did Jupiter give Juno the
cow" Bobby asked tensely.
Indeed he did," responded.
HE was afraid to do anything

to refuse. I suppose he wanted

and fattening a dessert the water
ice solves the problem Of warm
weather desserts or refresh
ments.
There is nothing more cooling,
refreshing and genuinely pleasur-
able than these simple mixtures
Of fruit juices and sugar frozen
to a delicate easy-eating mushy
consistency.
Water ices, or fruit ices, as
they really should be called, are
very simply made. A syrup is
first made from sugar and water
in the proportion Of one quart of
water to two cups Of sugar boiled
for five minutes. This syrup may
be made in quantities and kept on
hand ready for use either in ices
or summer beverages. The fruit
juice is added to the syrup, the
mixture stirred and placed in a
freezer and frozen to a pulpy
mass.
To populariZe the ices and
sherbets in the family get small
quart size freezer which requires
little ice and is easily handled.
The freezing Is improved by carry
ing 1t on internationally so that in
making an ice one may give 1t a
few turns now and then while
going about other duties in the
kitchen.
For a lemon ice use three
fourths Of a cup Of lemon juice
with syrup. A few gratings Of
lemon rind may be cooked with
the syrup for flavor.
Other fruit ices may be made
by using half as much water in
making the syrup and adding
an equal amount Of currant, rasp-
berry. grape or other fruit juices.
A tablespoon of lemon juice i'm
proves the flavor Of the other
fruit juices.
For strawberry ice or peach
ice, two cups of fruit pulp may be
added to the original syrup and
the Juice of a lemon or orange
added.
The flavor Of these simple fruit
ices is improved IL they are al
lowed to stand and ripen or mel
low for several hours packed in
a freezer in ice and salt.

lowed the star and journeyed to Beth
lehem that first Christmas night, car
rying gorgeous gifts of gold, frank
incense and Myrrh.
And so the beautiful custom of
Christmas gift-giving began. But
as time went on, many people made
drudgry of thi lovely practice.
Making up Christmas list because al
most as perfunctry as making
laundry lists. Instead of giving with
a whole-hearted free-will, prompted
by the heart-people nowadays
give because of social requirements
and custom.
Twenty-one years ago, on Christ
mas eve a young man stood at his
work in a postoffice in faraway Dem
mark. Thousands of Christmas let
tiers were pouring through his hands.
And as he marked he thought how
wonderful it would be if all the hap
py people who were sending glad
Yuletide messages of love and good
will would add a special Christmas
stamp to their letters and cards. That
extra money would build hospital
in his town for the children sick with
tuberculosis. The young man took
his big idea to the King and Queen
of Denmark. His plan was enthus-
iastically greeted. The first Christ
mas seals appeared in Denmark in
1904-and the little children got
their hospital.
From this simple beginning grew
the widespread custom of selling
Christmas Seals to fight the Great
White Plague. Vast amounts of
money are needed to bring back to
health those who have been stricken
with this most cruel of all diseases.
Money for open air camps in the
woods or on sunny mountain slopes
money for long, restful vacations
free from worry-money for proper
food and care. Still more money is
needed for the great work of pre-
vention. And this money will be
raised through the sale Of the little
Christmas Seals.
Plaintive, pitful voices are calling
to you for help. Will you help them?
Let's all get together to help rid the
world of this most dreaded disease
that shows no mercy for rich or poor.
Buy Christmas Seals as you never
bought before. Buy till it makes you
happy. Place voluntary health tax
on your cheerful Yuletide letters and
thus brighten your gift packages with
these gay little symbols of hope. The
Christmas spirit in your heart will
glow with pride because you have
helped to smooth away some of the
troubles of the world. This Christ
moas give the greatest Of all gifts
the gift of health.
