They rubbed their noses as they
stared. Then they walked in a circle

Touch it yourself" retorted the
other. You're afraid OF it,"
I'm not afraid" snapped the
other, and suddenly grabbed at the

him the moment he touched it. 1t
swung straight toward the other
young Bear. This young Bear, re-
memberinE his bumped nose, struck
at it smartly. Back swung the can
swiftly and hit the other young
Bear full in the face.
The latter lost his temper. He
struck at that swinging can swift
and hard. Away it went as far as
the rope and wire by which it was
held would let it. Back it came.

Bears were growing angrier and
angrier. Around and around. this
way and that, swung that can and
every once in a while il would hit
one OF those little Bears q crack that
would make him squeal.
Meanwhile Iitticst Bear. the small
est OF the three. had discovered the
other can OF sugar Farmer Browns
10y had left on a stump She paid
no attention to her brothers. She
licked of the strip sueared on the
sides Of that can and then she tried
to get the sugar inside. Farmer
Browns Boy had pressed back the
top so that there was only Just a
little crack through which she could
smell the sugar. She couldn't get her
tongue into that crack. She turned
that can over and over. She tried to
get hold of it with her teeth and
couldn't. She tried to get her claws
into it and couldn't. Then she, too.
lost her temper, and with a blow, of
one of her stout paws sent that can

the whole performance again.
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy, watching through the window
of the little sugar house, laughed
until their sides ached It was the
lievliest evening they had known for

Nutrition Nuggets.

Remember that the foods most sub
ject to spoilage through the action of
bacteria are milk. meat and meat
products and succulent fruits Use
them as soon as possible after pur-
chasing. Boil the utensils in which
they are to be cooked or temporarily
stored. Pay special attention to the
hands and clothing of the person who
is charged with the duty of cooking
these foods.
The cooked foods that most quickly
undergo spoilage are moist dishes
such as meat pies, moist vegetables
and cooked fruits. These are apt to
become sour, and absolute cleanliness
of utensils, protection from dust and
other sanitary measures are Of the
utmost Importance.
:, Fresh green vegetables soon lose
their distinctive flavor if packed
closely and transported over a long
distance. So far possible buy
their own, or those who live near the
retail markets.
In rendering fats for future use in
cooking see that each variety is kept
in a special jar. chicken fat in one
jar, ham in another, beef and bacon
If necessary to use cold storage
chicken, be careful not to leave it in
a warm room before cooking. Cold
storage food spoils rapidly if allowed
to stand for any length of time at a
low temperature.
In cleaning fruit that is to be served
raw, use at least three waters, NOV
ing the fruit about under a stream of
cool water, if possible, or at least in
a large fiat dish in which the water
is changed three times. 1t has been
found that the bacteria present in the
first water are very numerous, those
in the second are materially less,
while the third water is noticeably
cleaRer.
HsRe you ever wondered why dish
had No vestige of appetizing flavor,
although apparently wen cooked? 1t
has been suggested that lack of clean
hness in the utensils in which the
FOOD was prepared might have been
responsible, Everything tastes alike"
is a common criticism of large-quan-
tity cooking. Try an experiment and
determine what scrupulous cleanli-
ness will do in bringing out. the indi-
viduality of flavor that goes so far IN
making a special dish attractive and
therefore more nourishing, because
more digestibie. ,A

Washington, February 12, 1919.

I'VE have finished with General
Jackson's case, after a long and, in
my view, improbable debate The
trial and execution OF Arbuthnot and
Ambrister are wholly indefensible
accordlng to my ideas of morality,
and think that he, Jackson's con-
duct ought to have been subjected to
the adjudication of a court rtial,
but that is the Presidents business
ana not ours. So far as the character
and general conduct of the Seminole
war was involved in the enquiry,
that subject was properly before us,
Is Congress is the great constitu-
tional tribunal whose peculiar power
is to decide upon all questions affect
ing the interests and welfare of the
Nation, but to select one incident of
that war, separate and detached from
the main principle, and record an a b.
stract opinion upon it's moral or legal
character, was in my opinion not only
inexpedient, as not tending TO prove
any particular effect, but usurping
the powers of another department,
and sanctioninG a proceeding amount
ing to sentence of condemnation in
effect, without giving the accused an
opportunity of being heard in his
defense, and denied the privilege, so
common to the vilest malefactor, of
being confronted with his accusers.
To have adopted the resolution of
the military committee. therefore,
would, in my opinion, have been con-
trary 10 the rights OF the dlStin-
guished individual whose character
was questioned by il and in opposi-
ton to the spirit of our laws, which
guarantees to every man a fair and
Impartial investigation before a tri-
bunal governed by the known rules
of evidence. Much, therefore, as ]
regret the course pursued by General
Jackson, I found myself compelled TO
vote against any affirmative vote or
proposition on the subject
The General has been here some
time The ladies arc all in his favor
and have paid him marked attention
since his arrival in the city.

Horses Laugh at
 Autos in Canada

Winnepeg, Dec, 19-Ary fears that the horse would be supplanted by the automobile and tractor in Cana da are unfounded, it is indicated in a report of the department of agricui- ture, which shows the horse popu- lation of the dominion has increased 100000 inEthe last year, The num- Der was placed at 3,546,233, com pared witlr 3,445,223 horses last year The principal increase was in west ern Canada.
 The incsease was attributed to a revival of interest in breeding draft horses, the demand for horses for farming due to increases in aericul- tural production, and the greater use of horses for numbering activities, city transportation and in other fields where horse power compares favorahly with traction power.

TRAINS FOR ECLIPSE
Professor Suggests Specials Be Used to Allow Millions of People to Witness Eclipse of Sun.

Washington, Dec. 19.--The use of excursion trains to enable the public better to see the total eclipse of the sun, January 94, 1925, is suggested by Professor George H, Peters of the Naval Observatory here. He was discussing this phenomenon which will be visible, under favorable weather conditions, in the eastern part of the country.
 The middle line of the shadow path during the eclipse, the profes- sor pointed out, will run from Buffa- To to Montauk Point, N. Y,, between seven and ten o'clock in the morn ing, in a section of the United States we'll supplied with railroads. The railroads might run special trains for the benefit of the public, he de- clared, shunting them on sdinss during the period of the eclipse.

 Men dancers tie four balloons to their partners ankles, and as the dancing proceeds, the men attempt 10 burst as many balloons as possi- ble while keeping those of their partners intact.
 A good deal Of skill is necessary for this latest craze and 1t is said polo players have come off best, probab bly, because they are used to quick turn and breathless rushes. It makes also for considerable in- crease in noise because of the pop ping of balloons and the excited shricks of the women.

BREAKFASTS BRING
 BACK OLD CUSTOM
'oOldse Talks Business at First
 Meal Of Day
By HARRY E. HUNT EEA Service Writer

Washington. Dec. 19.-The New England literary influence of half entury ago Is reflected in the White ouse breakfasts inaugurated by President Coolidge.
 In adopting the breakfast table s the testing ground for admin Btration plans and proposals, Coo dge, whether consciously or un- onsclously. follows the psychology nderlying the Breakfast Table erles" of Oliver Wendell Holmes, which that author and phil sopher chose breakfast time as he hour when reason reigned lost clearly and when the kernels { truth and fact could be sorted rom the chaff of confused bought.
 At the head of the White House hble, then, over the wheat cakes nd sausage, President Coolidge ex- ects not only to get his own plans n straight, but to help straighten he views of leaders in House and senate through whom he will have b work If legislative harmony Is to |revail.
 And whether he so intends 1t |r not, he becomes, in effect, a re- Incarnation of "The Autocrat of the breakfast Table"
 Among the views put forward s the real reason" why the presi- ent utilizes the breakfast hour for is contacts with senators and con- Fressmen are:
 "No one is conceited in the early norning"
 Guests are at their brightest nd best at the beginning of a day; re more receptive and more re. ponsive." CThe receptivity referred 0 has to do with ideas, not food.)
 Breakfasts are more informal nd intimate than either luncheonf ,r dinners. One doesn't have to dress for them. Everybody Is al lis peppest' and there is mini. mum of restraint"
 One caustic-tongued Democrat urther remarked:
 Breakfasts go with presidential, economy, They're cheaper thai linners."
 Although common form of poll. ical entertainment abroad, break asts have not been utilized 1T Washington as an occasion fol harting affairs of state except IT he case of Senator Mark Hanna O Ohio, the political godfather 0 President Mckinley.
