Breakfast---stewed prunes, whole wheat cooked cereal, toasted rolled oats bread, butter. soft-boiled eggs, thln cream, milk, coffee. Luncheon-cream of tomato soup croutons, apple tapioca pudding, plain cookies. tea milk. Dinner-Roast beet. potatoes baked with meat, brown gravy, creamed cauliflower apple-celery-nut salad, pear bavarian cream, coffee, milk.
 The roast beef should be rare but not unappetizingly so. Children are often very sensitive to too rare meat and refuse to eat one of the most valuable meats for no other reason than this. If the roast is delicate pink in the center the meat is easily digested and not unattractive.
 soft-Boiled Eggs
 Allow 1 cup of boiling water for each egg to be cooked. The water should be boiling briskly when the eggs are put in. As soon as the water reaches the boiling point after adding eggs, remove from, the fire and let stand four minutes. Remove from hot water and hold under cold water one or two seconds to cool the shell.
 Children with delicate digestion sometimes prefer eggs without but ter. Season with salt and tiny bit of pepper.

Through a regular tangle of trees and shrubs you go up a wind ing walk of steps and fat places made of brick until you reach an outdoor staircase of old Spanish wrought iron, From there you look all over the city nesting below you among what seems to be q wooded landscape.
 The inside Of the house was only furnished as far as a few essentials are concerned. But they are very beautiful, artistic and unobstrusive. Dick said he had asked Miss Perier to oversee the work of some decora- tor who might furnish the house in all it's entirety, but she said that would be very foolish Of him.

As the Raggedys walked down the shady path in the deep, deep woods, they came to large red stone and sat down 10 rest; and, while they were seated there and being very quiet, as all rag dolls can be, when they wish, a loud voice said, right around in back of the stone, T 'spect that l had better run to MT. Wheeie's house. now that he is not at home and make his little boy come over 10 my house and cut the grass and do the work there. Mr. Wheelie's littIo boy will expect to be paid for doing the work, but l shall fool him and never pay him even a penny"
 This was more than Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy could stand, so they peeped over the rock to see who could be so selfish and deceit ful. The man who had spoken was a man with a long nose, and the nose was very red and he was talking 10 his wife. She also had a very long red nose too.
 "Heh! Hch' He" the wife chuck led, You always think of ways of getting out of work, MT Sanky' We will also make little Waiter WheeHe do the dishes too when We bring him home, for l do not like to do the dishes any more"
 Less run right over and catch Walter" MT. Sanky said, and he and his long nosed wife, walked away through the woode.
 The Raggedys looked at each oth- ar and nodded their heads, for each knew what the other thought, so they quietly followed MT and Mrs Sanky until they came 10 poor lit tie house standing in q clearing. The windows were broken and the shut ters were falling off and the place looked as if it need d a lot of at tention and fixing up.
 Mir. Sanky walked right into the house without knocking and came out pulling a little boy And, when the little boy wiggled and twisted trying 10 get away, Mrs Sanky ran up and gave him d box on the ear.
 Why. Mrs. Sanky," Raggedy Ann cried as she ran up to the long nosed people. You ought to be ashamed 10 strike such a nice little boy"
 Just you mind your own busi- ness." Mrs Sanky told Raggedy Ann We are taking Walter where he will have nice home instead of living in this tumbled down place"
 'No you are not" Raggedy Andy cried. Anyone who starts right in ntistreating a nice little boy like Walter, surely can not give him a nice home,"
 Please do not let them take me 10 their home." Walter begged the Raggedys; They did something with my mama and daddy and l would rather live here alone than stay al

|EX|LE'S DEATH
 RECALLS TRAGEDY
Russian by Mistake Killed Man
 Seeking to Help Him

Harbin China, Sept. 15.-An old man died recently in small vil- lage of eastern Siberia whose name evokes among Russians memories of a tragedy, the poignancy Of which is unsurpassed in the annals of that wild and gloomy land.
 St. Petersburg was the scene and the time the late eighties, The principal actor was a young officer of one of the most brilliant regi- ments of the Czar's guard. He was accomplished and highly connected and a general favorite, but the life led by him and a majority of his comrades proved too fast for the resources of diminished and bad 1 ly managed estate. The young of fcer turned to the money lenders who preyed upon men of his kind. One was found who was willing to advance money against his promis- sorry notes, and who never failed to respond until the total debt had reached many thousandsNof rubles.
 Finally the chance of a wealthy marriage gave promise of release for the young man from his finan- cial troubles. He informed the money lender of his good luck and obtained more money.
 The money lender told the young officer that he planned fine we'd ding present for the occasion of his marriage. Misinterpreting the mans meaning and taking it to be a threat that the notes would be pre- scented for payment or protest, the young officer foresaw himself ruined and resolved upon desperate measures. The money lender was found dead in his own house a few days later, and the crime was traced to the borrower. The police discovered among the old mans ef- fects a package neatly tied with ribbon containing all of the others notes. An inscription showed that this was to have been the wedding l gift.
 Evidence of the young officers guilt was clear and he was exiled to Siberia Old residents of Siberia tell many stories of his remorse= stricken life, which has just ended | in penury and misery.

a pallor which would have fright ened me had not been so absorbed in my own wrath, He did not speak for several seconds, and when he did the words came, clipped and staccato, from between lips almost closed and with deep lines graven around them,
 And this is what l get for play ing the game squareIy!" he said, with a bitterness which If it were pretonded, as in my anger l thought most likely, was a fine his- trionic effect.

 As for Miss Fawcett," he snapped. You have been kind enough to bring her down here, so I certainly shall seize the oppor- tunity to make some drawings of her. Unless, perhaps, you and Lii need her in your job of plain and fancy de-tec-a-ting."

As the latter task is one that really-strange as it may seem to you-is tri1e irk- some and boring to me, you cannot imagine how relieved I am that you are going to take it off my hands And now, if there is nothing fur ther you wish to ask me, l will bid you good night"

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

Robert Foran. newspaper corre- spondent, accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1909. They arrive at Mombassa, the gateway of British East Africa" and then make the railroad journey to their first camp on the game-crowded Kapiti Plains, 2SS miles from the coast. With Colonel Roosevelt are his son, Kermit, and three scientific members of his staff --Maior Edgar A. Mearns, Edmund Heller and J. Allen Loring.
 Incredible good fortune comes to the rifles of Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit during the first two weeks of their sojourn. They killed seven lions within almost as many days after landing in Mombassa, to say nothing of other varieties of big game. There is much work to be done in preparing the skins of the large animals.

ON HEALTH-- CARE OF THE FEET

Looks like you couldn't put your best foot forward" scoffed the office wit as MT, Mann arrived limping.
 His pet corn was at it again and his head was on his feet, as it were.
 There are not many people who try to make their feet behave. They watch their falling hair and their decaying teeth and all such mat ters but their crippling feet get scant attention.
 Shoes and stockings are impor- tant items, and they will be later remarked upon. But care of the feet themselves Is important.
 The feet should be washed thor oughly with a good antiseptic soap. This habit should be established

 Mir. Sanky would have given Wal ter another box for saying this if Raggedy Andy had not caught Mir Sanky's arm and held it. MT. Sanky like lots of other people, did not care to hear the truth about himself and it made him angry.
 Just for that l. shall give you a box on the ears," MT. Sanky told Raggedy Andy, but, when he struck at him, Raggedy Andy ripped up MT. Sanky's heels and he went

from the day shoes and stockings are first donned.
 Wipe them thoroughly, particu- larly between the toes. Cut the nails square and be careful they are not trimmed below the top of the toes; otherwise ingrown toenails may develop.
 The proper time for the foot bath is at night. Whether hot or cold water is used depends upon the con- stitution and habits of the person.
 For persons of advanced age a tepid bath is best; particularly if they are subject to rheumatism.
 Quite old people should not, as a rule, take regular foot baths but a sponge bath once or twice q week will suffice.

Why Madge Said to Dicky 'T Have Been Too Dense"

It had come at last, the clash over Mollie Fawcetts presence in the house which l had known must come ever since Dicky's arrival. ] reeled in the fast-disappearing line of my courage, made it fast, and turned to Dicky with provocative little smile for his query as to Lil- Hans meaning in sending the girl to our home.
 Really, l did not ask Lillian her reasons for the request she made me. l simply granted it, But may ask how you know Miss Fawcett is here? Only the name 'Mollie' was mentioned at dinner"
 His face reddened and his eyes cleamed angrily at the thrust and he promptly answered the infer ence which I deliberately had meant him to think l had drawn,

 "My dear Dicky" I said in a shocked voice. q wouldn't dream of accusing you of so ill-bred a procedure. I was only curious to know which on of them volun- teered the information"
 He gave a short laugh.
 "Oh, of course you didn't mean anything." he said unpleasantly, "You never do. But that isn't the question"
 "Question!" I returned in the de- termined voice of an excited mem- Der of a woman's club.
 T suppose you think that's fun ny" he snarled. But it doesn't impress me at all. So kindly tin the alleged humor. Of course know what you're doing.

 He stopped short at 1t and stared at me and went steadily on, SC infuriated by his assumption that Mollie Fawcett's feelings were the only ones to be considered that hardly knew what I was saying But when I am most wrathful am extremely quiet, and my words were slow, deliberate and icy.
 There is no reason of which either Lillian and I are cognizant,' I said, why Miss Fawcett should be embarrassed at coming out here But your inadvertent admission just now shows that you are aware of such reasons. This is only what I might have expected, only I have been too dense and too loyal tc recognize it.
