New Britain herald., 1925-10-12

Greedy folks never know when they've had enough 10 eat. Gentle Mistress Moon came creeping up above the tree tops and when she looked down through the beech trees she saw great big Buster Bear still there: so was Bobby Coon; so was Inc Billy Possum. They were still stufiing themselves with beechnuts You see they were afraid that if they left any for the next day the Squirrel cousins would be on hand and get most of them. So they kept right on eating. And Peter Rabbit, sitting behind an over-hanging hemlock bough, continued to watch them.
 By and by Peter noticed Filter the Bat circling this way and that way. disappearing in the Black Shadows and then reappearlng in the moonlight. He was trying 10 catch his dinner in the air. Peter idly watched him. Suddenly Filter swooped right close over Peter. and in the squeakiest little voice im- aginable, he cried, Good by. Pe- ter!"
 Peter sat up so suddenly he bumped his head on the branch under which he was sitting. Then he hopped right out in the open where he could see better. Filter was darting this way and that way. but was too far away for Peter 10 speak 10 him. By and by Filter swooped down very close 10 Peter. What do you mean by good by!" demanded Peter.
 ''Just that good by" squeaked Filter, and darted up high above Peter.
 "Where are you going" demand ed Peter the next time Filter was near enough.
 'I'm going away for the winter replied Filter and once more was gone.
 This time he was so long gone i in among the Black Shadows that Peter was afraid that he really had left. But suddenly that equeaky lit- file voice sounded almost in one of Peters long ears. I'm going down 10 the Sunny South, Peter Rabbit Don't you wish you were in my | placer.
 Then t was that 1t came to Pe- 1 ter who it was that Welcome Rob i bin had been thinking of: Filter the Bat was the only animal that could possibly make that long
 journey, for you know that Filter is tho only mammal that truly i flies. Filter" cried Peter as Flit- ter came near, ''are you really. truly going away down 10 the Sunny South, where the birds go?" Not as far as some of theni

fought the little demon Of Jealousy and anger until had them under sufficient control again 10 present an equable face to my little world.
 But my calmness was only u mask, and only wife who has been through 6 similar experience knows how the piece of charred notepaper. wita the endearing salutation 10 my husband, was pictured constantly in my mind in the days that followed. Useless for me 10 tell myself, as l frequently did, that the salutation from so old q friend probably headed q most innocuous epistle. l could not forget that the writer of that salutation once had confronted me and with white face and blazing eyes had declared that she loved Dicky better than l ever could. Neither could l hanish from my remem- brance the chance remark l had but recently overheard, which showed that Edith Fairfax had knowledge of my husbands affairs which had been kept from me.
 Slecplcss Nights
 IL would have been far better for me if DicRy had appeared at the farmhouse within a few hours of my discovery. My suspicious anger would have famed then and blazed itself out. But as the days wore on. with no sign of my husband nor any word from him, I tried in vain 10 free myself from sudlen breeding which not only made me most miser- able, but robbed me of sleep. l had arranged with Katherine to share q watch over Fanny Powell that we might determine whether she would have another attack of real or pre- tended somnambulism, and I found that not only was I awake during the hours of my watch. but that 1t was impossible to get to sleep during those hours when I was off duty.
 That Katherine was undergoing a similar experience 10 mine, but with another reason, I deduced from the lines etched in her face and the look in her eyes which comes only from sleeplessness. Luckily for us, how ever. Fanny Powell displayed no signs of restlessness, but, to all ap- pearances slept the nights through peacefully. Katherine had prevailed upon Lillian to change rooms with me under the pretense of more sun shine for her invalid condition. l nightly left the door unlocked thus giving access to the closet in which wa@secreted the bag which we were sure was the objective of the girls previous nocturnal prowIing. Our trap was set. but for days and days there was no sign that f would ever be sprung.

I think I'll be starting along to- night. Good by, Peter Rabbit, I'll see you next summer"
 Wait a minute! Walt a minute! cired Peter, but he soon found he was talking to eppty air. He saw Filter dart up over the tree tops and disappear to ward the South, and though he waited and waited he saw nothing more of him. At last Peter decided that that squeaky good by had been 6 genu- inc good by and that he had seen funny little Filter actually start on his long journey 10 the land of winter sunshine and warmth.
 Peter hurried over to wlfere Buster Bear was raking over the leaves looking for beechnuts. T know who 1t was!" cried Peter ex- citedly.
 You know whom who was?" growled Buster
 "The animal who spends the cold weather down in the land of the Sunny South of whom Welcome Robin spoke" said Peter. Ut was

 So Jason set out in his galley with forty and nine of the bravest youths of all Greece to aid him. From the start they were beset with many dangers. But the figure head which Argus had carved from a branch of the Speaking Oak had inherited the wisdom of the Speaking Oak and was able always to tell them just what to do. With the help of her wisdom they es- capped many perils and at last reached Colchis, the land of the Golden Fleece.
 As soon as King Aeetes heard of their arrival he summoned Jason to court. Do you know" he ask ed. eyeing Jason very sternly. "what arc the conditions you must fulfill before getting possession of the Golden Fleece?"

Two Difficult situations Rob Madgc
 of Sleep
 At the sight Of the charred pieces Of notepaper bearing the words "Dear Dicky.bird" in the familiar handwriting Of Edith Fairfax. found myself recoiling from 1t as If 1t had been poisonous Insect thrust into my hands.
 Where did you find this, Junior ?" xked faintly then pulled myself together at the sight of the aston ished look upon the three faces con fronting me.
 "I shoost tell you Katie began, but I interrupted her.
 "Oh, yes, l remember. You said he was digging in the dump where Jim burns the papers from the wastebasket. I was so upset for the moment by the thought that he might be cut by glass that l did not understand"
 It was an atrociously lame excuse, and glad indeed was l that no more experienced eyes than those of the three confronting me were scanning my face. With a little feeling Of humiliation at my lack of self-con- trol, I crumpled up in my hand the scraps of paper Katie had taken from Juniors pocket, stepped back into Dicky'u room and tossed them Into his waste basket Then l held out my hand to Junior.
 Come now. for the bath you need" I said soberly.
 Marion looked at me pleadingly,
 Wont you let me bathe him ?" she coaxed. You look so tired, Auntis Madge."
 Both my common sense and my inclination impelled me 10 surrender. I knew that l was in too savage a mood to attempt the discipline which my little lad surely needed for dis obeying my repeated injunction to keep away from the dump where broken glass was 10 be found. and Marion, frequently had bathed and dressed him.
 GO With Marion"
 Thank you, sweetheart" ;" l said, making a sorry attempt to smile at her. That is very good of you. Go with Marion, Junior, and do what ever she tells you"
 My small son put his hand con- ndingly in that of Lillians winsome young daughter and dre'y a reliaSed breath.
 '-"Gee!" he confded 10 her nnthusi- astically ns they turned away, "Wfat do you think of that? I don't get any spanking' Say nm rlad you bet your boots"
 Katie exploded into the giggl with which she invariably greets any laughable utterance of Juniors, and I hastily retreated into Dicky's room again. There, with the door closed

Secret DraWer--IOntlnucd
 Although l did not understand Syd's smile, Little Marquise, from bis face l knew l had answered him with one quite as enigmatical, for I suddenly realized that l was not moved by anything that Jack or Sy1 had told me, I did not care about any kind of scandal that could descend upon Jacks more or less sinful head.
 All I sensed at that moment was that was sleepy, dreadfuIIy sleepy, and I wanted 10 go to bed.
 I was a little mortified at this sensation for l thought If had been the right kind of woman, Little Marquise, l ought 10 he an gry, angry as l had been on other occasions when Jack had had simi- lar cares 10 tell me, but here was looking, at it all as one completely on the outside.
 I was perfectly willing to help Jack all l could In this mess, but whatever anyone else might think, l knew that as far as l was per- sonally concerned l was out of it., D and the only wish had in all the world was that could just go up io my room and get into bed and sleep.
 Jack evidently waited for somo Of US 10 say something, but no one seemed 10 have anything 10 say.
 What shall I do?" Jack finally asked.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

By DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service
 Many prepared cereals are uu- tritious and convenient foods. They not only reach the consumers table in clean state, but they also usually have the additional advan- tage of thorough cooking. Prepared cereals are labor savers and time savers. but they are not money savers. In the end you pay for the additional convenience, sometimes several hundred per cent.
 You should realize also that some of the health preparations which are over concentrated and are designed to supply high food values should be used sparingly
 A great many people like the taste of malt. Some malt prepara- tons represented to be pre-digest- cd foods are not really pre-digest- present under favorable conditions will, Of course, change starch into more soluble forms.
 If you have a good digestive ap- paratus, you do not need to have your food pre-digested. If you do not have a good digestive appara- tus you had better consult a rop- utable physician,
 Your digestive system has malt factory of its own. Fer at least half an hour after you eat, the saliva produced by the salivary glands of your body is busy chang ing starch into maltese and dex- | trose.
 Very few people oyercooN ce- reals, In the preparation of home cooked cereals for the table thor ough cooking is essential Equally important is chew ing You should eat your cereals slowly and chew them thoroughly. It may be well 10 mix something which requires chewing with your cereals in order that you may be brought to chew your breakfast 1 food properly.
 You should know also that ce- reals are like meats In one respect, they are acid forming substances, Bake Macaroni Thoroughly Macaroni is another bread stuff be digestibe should be baked thor oughly until 1t loses its toughness. Batter cakes made of cornmeal wheat flour, buckwheat, hominy, or oatmeal when they are light and | well cooked are as easily dlgested and quite as nourishing as bread
 The danger in batter cakes lies in overeating. They do not always agree with young children.
 Cake, when 1t does not contain an excessive amount of sugar spices, citron, or chocolate, is a good food. The fuel value of cake may be even greater than the principal fish which you have served on your table.
 Herein lies the danger of cake | eating. Cake Is usually eaten after full meal, after the stomach Is already loaded.
 A doughnut is extremely rich in calories. Many people have a habit of eating doughnuts between meals, or eat several at a meal. If you are doing this you are taking on much rich food of high caloric value and undoubtedly throwing your ration out of balance.
 Pie, like cake, has a high fuel value and contains large quantities of sugar and fats. A piece of pie is about equal in fuel value to two ordinary servings of roast beef.
 Thoroughly baked pies with Drowned crusts, baky and digesti- ble. are as delicious as they are rare. If you have such pies on your table treat them with respect, be temperate in the quantity you use,

 What else would you call him ?" demanded Peter. Buster rubbed his head thought fully. Well, suppose you're right" said he. "I suppose he is an animal, but it's hard work 10 think so. We'll anyway he is the only one that doesn't stay the win ter through. For myself, I'd rather sleep than, take any such long journey as that squeaky flit-about must make"
 i Peter thought this. over for a moment Well" said he, you fel. lows who sleep all winter miss a lot. On the whole ] think I would rather go a bit hungry now and then than to sleep all winter or to make the long journey to the Sun i ny South. I'm satisfied with things as they are"
 And when you come to think of 1t that was s very sensible way of looking at it.

ADVERTISING DID TT

In the period of depression in the automobile industry a new
automobile was placed on the market with remarkable sales success.
The British this year will sell the United States sixty per cent more
tea than last year. A store in a small town last year did a business
equal to that of many large city businesses.
In each instance the reason was advertising. The new automo-
bile was introduced by an advertising campaign. British tea mer-
chants Hooded American newspapers, magazines, store windows,
street cars and sign boards with advertising during the past year.
The small town store missed no advertising opportunity.
The evidence is so preponderantly in favor of advertising it
seems incredible that there are still unadvertsed businesses. Under
modern business methods there have been no remarkable successes
without large scale advertising.
With pretty clothes and beautifying cosmetics the girl adver-
tises for a beau or a husband. With good work the workman ad-
vertises for higher wages and an improvement in position. With
exceptional service the railroad advertises for passengers and for
freight. Service is a good advertisement for business, but before
that service can be rendered customers must be brought into the
store and the best known way of accomplishing that is through the
medium of newspaper advertising.
Volume of business and volume of advertising ride in the same
