Jimmy had discovered before him,
which was that a very good living
was to be obtained around Farmer
Browns dooryard and in his garden.
So. because he was too fat and lazy
TO travel far, he took to sleeping un-
der the barn. Thus he was near Mrs.
Jimmy and sometimes Joined her
when she was looking for food. but
at the same time he was wholly in
dependent.
Soon after Jimmy took to sleeping
under the barn Farmer Browns Boy
noticed that seldom did he see Rat
or a Mouse in or near the barn,
whereas before that the Rats had
been very troublesome, too smart TO
he trapped and growing bolder and
bolder. 1t was some time before he
knew that Jimmy was sleeping under
the barn and he wondered what had
happened to the Rats. Jimmy could
have told. Some had helped to make
him fat and the rest had moved
away. They didn't like his company.
You see Jimmy didn't sleep all the
time he was under the barn.
Once or twice Jimmy had started
70 look into Mrs. ,Jimmy's home under
the henhouse But he only just
started to and then he hastily begged
her pardon and explained that it was
all a mistake. 1t puzzled him little

AFRICA, Chile, March 1.-One who
sees only the plateau region of Bolivia
knows but a small part of this inland
republic. The section east of the
Andes is attractive and tropical.
though few travellers ever wander
over into the jungles. There lie some
of the sources of the Amazon - and
away stretches the great, unexplored
territory of the continent, where dwell
tribes of strange people.
Many are the mysteries Of FL Gran
Chaco. There is one spot where the
rain has been falling without stop
for thousa nds of yearsi There the
tribesmen cut off and reduce the heads
of their enemies to the size of a base
ball. There is the River of Doubt"
There it rains fish, There the Indians
are so wild that towers are built in

Nutrition Nuggets.

If you must slight table service at
any one meal be sure that 1t is not
at breakfast The appetite is apt to
be capricious ad an attractive table
will sometimes fean a good break
fast that will carry the eater through
an otherwise unsuccessful day.
Your breakfast plan calls for fruit,
dried. fresh or canned; cereals, home
cooked mush, faxed. puffed or shred
ded ready-to-eat cereals or twice
cooked cereals such as fried mush
bread. either dry or buttered toast or
hot bread; main dish. eggs or re-
cooked left overs such as minced
meat. fish or vegetables; beverages.
coffee, tea, cocoa, or cereal coffee with
milk always for the children.
Now that the season for fresh fruit
is coming on. ii is important TO re-
member to wash the fruit carefully.
True. there are some writer's who say
that this must not be done, but those
of us who do not have our own gar
dens will be much safer to take this
precaution.
In preparing fruit use agate ket-
ties and stir with either a silver fork
or a silver spoon. Other materials
either in the container or in the uten-
sils used in stirring may discolor the
fruit
A elt-ONeT DISHES may De
used for either breakfast or luncheon
be sure to use these with discretion
Reheated dishes are suitable only for
hearty adults and not for children or
invalids.
Make out systematic plan about
using foodstuffs in your emergency
closet. If the emergency arises you
will then not be in A state of bewil-
derment as to just what TO serve. For
example. a single can of chicken or
other prepared meat may be used as
the basis for any number of dishes
If you make some careful notes at
your leisure about the possibilities of
each tin of prepared food you will find
it an enormous time saver.
If any of the children use a lunch
box for their school lunches. he sure
thai it is well sterilized, scalded, dried
and aired every night.

right of special distinction it is a
gentleman who is the honored guest
this order is reversed. and he sits al
the right of the hostess, and not the
host. To seat him by the host would
bring two men together, which Is
punctiliously avoided The seating OF
men and women alternately is always
observed.
Age Criterion.
The honored guest is the oldest lady
present. this is assuming there is a
decided discrepancy in ages. 1t would
scarcely be an honor at a dinner OF
persons of approximately the same
ages to single one lady out because
of her suspected maturer years and
for no other reason, give her the seat
at the right of the host. However,
this does not alter the custom respect,
ing age and honoring it, and there are
innumerable instances where there
are differences in ages that i'm
mediately indicate who deserves the
seat of honor.
Guest of Honor.
There are, of course, exceptions to
this rule. For example, bride, a
lady of marked distinction, a returned
traveller or any woman for whom a
dinner is expressly given, even though
the invitations may not convey such
information, is seated at the right of
the host. The lady next in order of
preference sits at his left. The man
who is seated at the right of the
hostess occupies the place of distinc-
ton for the gentlemen. When mar
ried couples are the guests of honor
the wife is seated at the right of the
host and the husband at the right
of the hostess.
Other Guests.
With the exception of the first and
second guests of honor, there is no
order of preferment in seats at the
table. Guests are ARA nged because
of congeniality, of mutual interests
or bonds in common. The host leads
the way to the dining room, offering
his arm TO the lady of first impor-
tance. The hostess is the last TO
enter the dining room, and is taken
in by the gentleman who is to sit
at her right. The lady who sits at
the left of the host follows him and
is escorted by her partner, at whose
right she sits. 1t is for the hostess
TO decide who are to be partners.
Place cards prevent confusion, and re-
lieve the hostess from designating
where each person is to sit when she
enters the room.
1t is not wise to put persons of like
professions next to each other, such,
for instance, as two artists, two mu-
sicians, etc The conversation may
hold a certain mutual interest, but it
is apt to verge on what is called
shop talk" Let persons get in
touch with others who are interested
in the subjects, but from the layman's
point of view. 1t is a clever hostess
who picks just the right group from
those she knows and seats them
felicitously at dinner. She will get
the reputation for giving famous din
ner parties to which invitations are
eagerly desired.

Ny Neighbor Says:

Before attempting To drive q

If the trap in your bathroom
or kitchen is clogged. attach a
piece of rubber hose TO your
coldwater faucet, then place the
hose over the opening in the
sink. and turn the water on full
force. allowing il to run several
minutes. This will flush the

If you have difficulty in driv-
ing small tacks into the wall.
put them into a piece of thin
cardboard an inch or two apart.
drive them in, then pull out the
cardboard.
Try chopping an apple in your
meat hash and add a bit of
sugar, brown or white: it is fine.
Save all cereal boxes and put
jars of fruit in them. This is
far preferable to wra piping them
in paper to keep them dark.

About Fruits.

Obviously. this is a large subject,
but by way of preparation for the
study of individual fruits, the house.
wife may well inform herself in re
gard to certain facts about fruits in
general.
One of the first points in which the
housekeeper is interested is that OF
the food value of fruit and it's place
in the diet. Probably most readers
know that the chief function of fruit
is 10 furnish the body-regulating ma
terial in the form of mineral salts.
True, therefore. some forms of fruit
do furnish starch and sugar in con-
siderable quantities, and this is espe-
cially true of the dried varieties. We
are told that dried fruits make up
about Is per cent of the entire output
of our orchards. These are popular
because of their palatability, but their
food value is not realized to the fullest
extent. So far from being depended
body-regulatinS materials, such as
is the case in fresh fruits, dried fruits
may also be looked upon as providing
body building material.
One fact should be noticed in this
connection, namely, that as to their
contribution of body building material.
dried fruits are not as vitality neces-
sary to the housewife as are fresh.
ing material may be obtained from a
number of other groups, whereas,
body-regulating material. such as
mineral salts and acids, is to be OBJ
tained only from fruits and vegetables.
Any housewife who has worked on the
problem of family diet on low in
come finds her job cut out for her. So
often housekeepers who must plan
very carefully make fruit a luxury.
yr-I,n q a
as milk and meat.
The body may be ever so strong
from the standpoint of muscles and
bones. but If the many complicated
processes that are necessary to keep
the machine as whole in order are
interfered with there is sure to be
trouble. A wise use of fruits is one
of the most efficient ways in which to
avoid such trouble.

HOW 1T STARTED
"0n the Shelf. "
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We are all familiar with the ex-
preston "on the shelf" used f1gura-
lively to describe some one whose use

are supposed to have lost all hope of
finding a spouse.
The natural inference would be that
this is just an unkind vulgarism. As
a matter of fact. however, II has
most digniffed origin. coming from
the realm Of literature. We have II
directly from the lexicon Of the book
publisher, who since the earliest days
of his industry has referred 10 Books
that have run the gamut of their
popularity and for which there is no
longer an active sale as being "on
the shelf" OF those for which there
was great demand it used to be said
that they were "on the table.
The expression "on the shelf" went
from the publishing house 10 the IL
brary, and then cast off its limitation
to the world of books 70 take on the
figurative significance in which il is
used today. It's literal application IS
by no means obsolete, however. For
only the other day we heard a dis
satisfied author who was complaining
about his dwindling royalties express
the suspicion that his publisher had
put his book "on the shelf" to prox
mote similar work by another aus
thor. The implication was that hs
had ceased to promote its sale. rele-

There is no form of entertaining that
