Breadtin,e Stories for
Little Folks

of a stick, or the kind of rod that
parents spare and spoil the child. But
like that kind of a rod, it is good for
every child.
when you were a tiny baby, milk
was, OF course. your Staff of Life
as it is with every very little child,
but as boys and girls grow up to be
men and women, bread becomes more
and more important to them. And. of
course, there is milk in bread. After
milk, bread is the most important food
we eat. 1t is also the cheapest, but
rich and poor must have it, because
it contains more nourishment than
anything else.
1T was only in the last few years
that men who study such things began
to find out just what foods are best
for use, and why. Even now there is
some doubt about the fiourishment in
meats but every one who has looked
into the matter agrees that bread is
the best of all foods. That is because
bread contains everything that the hu-
man system needs to sustain life, and
because there is nothing harmful in it,
as is sometimes the case with other
things that we eat.
so you see nothing can replace
bread. But good as bread is, great
deal of its value depends upon know
ing how to make it properly. That is
why the makers of Corby's Mothers
Bread have been thinking more about
bread every year for many more
years than you have been alive. The
Corby Baking Company has been
learning more about bread every day.
just as you learn about ever so many
things in school. They know just
how to prepare the flour, how much
milk and yeast to put i'll, and how to
mould and bake every loaf OF bread.
That is the reason why Corby's
Mothers Bread tastes SO good-why
it is SO good for you to eat at every
meal, and in between times, too

Color and Your Income.

When you make your decision upon
what your color is, undoubtedly
you consider your eyes. your hair
your skin, and perhaps even the psy-
Geological effects the color has on
! your moods. But-do you consider
your income?
If you do not not only are you
likely to have depleted bank bal
ance and d worried expression, but
the very colors you choose as yours"
are likely, by some malicious magic,
to become both unsuitable and un-
becoming.
Suppose, for instance, it is some
bright shade which you have selected
as pre-eminently suited to your looks
and personality. Now. if your income
is such that you cannot afford plenty
of other and milder-colored clothes,
to offset the ones of the favored
loud" color, your friends are going
to tire of that color quickly: and the
chances are that after a time, you
will even cease to appear attractive
in ft-at least to those who see you
wear il daily.
Prominent stripes, plaids and checks
come in the same class of conspicuous
clothing as do striking colors. You
can appear attractive season after

The Unnecessary Word.

If I were one of those people who
can work magic with statistics,
would like to figure out a neat and
convincing table that showed the
exact per cent of growth that result
ed from the percentage of words not
hurled at children. I'm sure there
must be direct relation between
the two. The unnecessary word must
be very expensive in child energy.
Energy is so precious in childhood.
There is just so much for use each
day and if it is spent in one way it
cannot be spent in any other. Chill
dren are devoted to growing up phys
tcally, and they of their own instinct
make no allowance for growing men,
tally and spiritually. We have to help
discreetly toward that end. That is
the place where we miss the trick by
spilling words.
You see, children love dramatics.
Long speeches punctuated by flashing
eyes and excited gestures are very
dramatic. Besides that, the youngsters
love to feel that they are immensely
important to the scheme of things.
Anything that tends to bring them
forward, even the shyest of them, is
honey and pie to them. One must be
wary.
Tom was preparing for an eXamina-
tion in English and his mother
thought that reading each required
book through rapidly would help
lot and said SO. Tom contested that
idea vigorously. He had quite lot
to say about it, and mother rose to
the occasion and combated his views
warmly. Up and down the length of
the room Tom expounded, and. rigidly
erect in her chair. mother made bril-
liant rebuttal The end was not at
all what mother expected and thought
she had a right to expect. Tom
yawned suddenly and laid hlmself
down on the couch and slept for two
hours.
All the energy the child had had
been expended upon the argument
and he had none left, so sleep came
to his rescue and bore him off to re-
ulenish the supply. That sort OF thlng
happens many, many times in every
bousehold of children. Even the
tiniest ones are lectured into exhaus,
zion and the frets by well lntentloneu
neople. Few words will answer every
purpose. II you are telling a story,

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

rect1ng the conduct of a child, that's
an entirely different matter.
Think over what you want done.
and then decide how you think it
should be done. State the case clear
ly and briefly, and listen to the first
few sentences of response-generally
negative, for that is human nature;
evince no desire for discussion and
get out of the way. More often than
not the job will be finished when YOU
return to inspect it.
That inspection and praise or criti-
clsm are very important. If the work
has been we'll done, say So If not,
say that. But save on words You
have no idea what they cost in energy

What TodayMeans to You
Virgo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Virgo.
Today's planetary aspects, until
| late in the afternoon, indicate pleas
ant surprises and interesting changes
and improvements. They are par
ticularly favorable for all matters
relating to invention, new thought,
art and amusements. They also
counsel renewal of old aequaintances
and development of new ones. In
the evening the conditions are Pc
culiar and negative; all matters of
any Importance should be avoided, as
we'll as argument and discussion.
A child born today will enjoy
quite normal health. and it's physical
condition will at no time cause any
serious worry or anxiety. Its char
acter will be wayward and its dispo-
sition "easy going" This child will
present difficult problem. and much
firmness. allied with affection. will be
essential in order to train it's mind
along the right channels.
If today is your birthday, you
rely too much on your own indi-
vidualism, and set too little store on
team work, which is very necessary
to success under modern conditions.
All trade, all commerce, all indus
try sprang from teamwork. The sue

sights, nor is constantly on the
alert less dignity be insulted.
1t is not necessary, in order to be
a teamworker, to be a jelly fish, to
compromise your self-respect, to sac
rifice your principles, nor to forswear
your own opinions or convictions.
You must, however, be a diplomat;
you must lose your bigotry; you must
recognize that others are entitled to
have opinions of their own; you must
be ready to give and take, and broad
enough to see things from the other
party's point of view.
The genuine teamworker is more
concerned about getting things done
than about getting credit for the
doing of them.
Teamwork calls for tolerance, good
fellowship and companionab bleness; it
it worth, however, infinitely more
than it costs. 1t is an asset without
which any career is likely to be bank
rupted.

date are: Placide l.. Chapelle, r. c..
archbishop; Bellamy Storer, lawyer
and diplomat; Rufus F. Zogbaum,

ping big, delicious looking bIueber-
r1es from a tall bush was Buster
Bear. He was a picture of happiness
and contentment. He was grunting
and whining with pleasure. He ap-
peared to have forgotten that there
were any little people with stings
like red-hot needles.
The truth is, Buster Bear had not
suffered from the stings he had re-
ceived nearly as much as Reddy Fox
had suffered. Busters skin is thick
and tough. Besides, he was used to
stings. More than once for the sake
of honey he had stood all the sting
ing that Honey Bee and her friends
could give him.
Reddy Fox sneaked away. Yes, sir,
he actually sneaked away. He had
suffered the pain of all those stings
for nothing. Buster Bear was back
in the Old Pasture. Meanness never
pays. Reddy knew it even il he
wouldn't admit it.

Sometimes meanness may seem to
pay, but in the end it never does.
No, sir, In the end 1t never does.
The one who does a meanness may
for awhile think it pays, but sooner
or later he will find that it doesn't
pay. 1t was meanness, nothing but
pure meanness, that had led Reddy
Fox to try to get Buster Bear driven
out of the Old Pasture. There was
no reason for it whatever.
For two days after he had been so
;!badly stung by the wasps Reddy
Fox had remained in his house. He
had felt too miserable to go out. He
had had time to do a lot OF think
ing. At first he had wished with all
his might that he hadn't thought OF
getting Buster Bear into trouble
with those wasps. But as he began to
get better he changed that wish a
little. Instead of wishing he hadn't
got Buster into trouble he wished
that he himself had had sense
enough to keep far enough away
from the scene of trouble to have
avoided getting into trouble himself.
