Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
Why l Had to Have My
Mattress Gone Over.

Now il there is anything like. it

ness Of its being healthy to sleep on
hard bed may be all right-but L like
soft bed and n nice. smooth, even
one. And so does Bunch, our cat,
I've noticed.
zone morning, said to Mary, our
maid:
Mary. do you know something is
wrong with my bed? It's getting
lumpy. l don't understand it."
III look at the mattress this morn
ing, Foxy Grandpa said Mary i'm
mediately.
After she had finished washing the
breakfast dishes, Mary hurried to
make the beds and then she came in
to me.
There's nothing the matter with
the mattress, Foxy Grandpa" she
said, Except that + think it would
be better if you didn't pull out the
little balls of string which tuft it and
hold the hair in place.
What are you talking about,
Nary" | asked ~, puzzled way.
They've been disappearing little
by little-every time L change the
bed / notice it. L thought perhaps
they bothered you and you were pull
ing them out"
Bunch left the room Just at this
time and after her went her pride and
Joy-her young son. tiger kitten, the
only one of her last family which we
had not given away and. of course,
being an only child. I'm afraid Bunch
spoiled him. But you know how
mothers are with an only son.
As Bunch and her son left the
room, Bunny gave me one of his mys-
FERROUS looks.
You look as if you knew some
thing about it, Bunny" L said.
YES" nodded Bunny. Il don't like
to carry tales or squeal on people.
But | have my suspicious"
Il don't want you to be a tattle-
tale. Bunny" 1 said. But L would
like to know about this thing,
Think | can show you this eve-
ming. Foxy Grandpu," Bunny said re-
luctantly.
The day passed and evening came.
We had dinner and while we were at
table, Mary went in to turn down our
beds.
We went into the sitting-room after
dinner and 1 heard Mary call:
Here Bunch Here. puss. puss,
pusS. Come get your suppers.
At that moment, Bunny motioned
me to follow him. I closed my cross
word puzzle book. which 1 had lust
opened. got up and followed him down
the hall.
Quietly we walked the long hall to
my bedrooy. There was low light
burning in it, by my bed on the night
table.
We stood at the door. Bunny said
nothing but nodded toward the bed
.with-his left car.
! looked. There was Bunch sitting
rather anxiously on the foot of my
bed and there in the middle of the
bed was another bunch-under the
covers.
Bunch gave one of these impatient,
purring cries which cats do sometimes
and the bunch under the covers moved
and then came out.
And what do you think that bunch
had in his mouth, because, of course,
you know what was under the COW
ers! Bunch's son. And in his mouth
was one of the tiny tufts
No sooner was he out from under
the covers with it, than he started
rolling the tuft around on the floor
and playing with it.

Sp:reribs and Saucrliraut
Boiled Potatoes
Head Lettuce
Annie DumnlinrS

With the first crisp cold days of
fall there always returns to the pie
beian folks among us a desire LOT
spareribs and sauerkraut. Of course,
there are some folk who prefer to
serve scuerkraut with frankfurtcrs,
but the traditional dish calls for
Gpareribs.
There is n wide difference Of opin-
ion as to how saucrkraut should be
cooked. 1t chiefly ccnters on the ques-
ton of how long. The old-fashioned
housewife insists upon cooking it all
day, or at least full three or four
hours, while another view is that an
hour is sufficient.
The quantity cooked makes some
difference in the length Of time for
cooking. Several pounds takes a
longer time than n small amount for
the average family, which requires
about two pounds.
This is the way in which ! like to
cook sauerkraut and sparcribs.
know most experienced housewives
will disagree with me. But small
quantity of saucrkraut retains its
flavor well when it is cooked in the
liquor in which it was purchased
without the addition of any water
and for this purpose double boiler is
we'll adapted. If the water in the
lower part of the double boiler is
boiling when the saucrkraut is put on
TO cook, an hour should be long enough
for the cooking.
When the sparcribs are cooked
with the saucrkraut they impart a
flavor which is most popular, but they
also impart SO much fat that I prefer
to cook them separately. So they are
placed in Il baking pan and baked in
moderately hot oven 600 degrees
for from 40 minutes to one hour. ac-
cordng to the thickness of the meat
on the bones.
Boiled potatoes are n traditional
accomplishment of sauerkraut anu
when the kraut and spareribs are
cooked together in fairly large guam
tty of boiling water the sparcribe
cooked at the same time.
Another combination which many
persons enjoy is made by using po-
tato dumplings with the kraut. This
is the recipe:
POTATO DUMPLINGS.
Two-thirds cup mashed potatoes.
One cup flour.
-Four teaspoons baking powder.
One teaspoon salt.
Two teaspoons butter.
About one-half cup milk.
Sift the dry ingredients. Add these
to the potatoes, mixing them with a
fork. Work the fat lightly into this
mixture. Add gradually enough milk
to make a soft dough. Toss the dough
onto flour board, and cut out. Place
the dumplings close together in n but
tered steamer, cover il closely and
steam the dumplings twelve minutes.
