the next morning jolly. round, bright
Mr.. sun was already high up in the
blue. blue sky. Somehow Buster
didn't feel hungry. lie didn't feel
hungry enough to get up. He just lay
there on his comfortable bed and
dreamed day dreams instead of real
dreams.
1t was afternoon before Buster felt
his appetite returning. "I'll go finish
that honey" said Buster. My, two
feasts of honey. Never was l so lucky
before. Those bees must have been
using that tree for years"
Buster yawned and stretched and
stretched and yawned. licked his
chops. and finally started off through
the Green Forest. He headed straight
for that tree which had been struck by
lightning. When he got there he ston-
ped and shifted at the piece on the
ground from which he had taken all the
honey the day before Then. with his
mouth once more beginning to water.
he started UP that tree. His appetite
was back now. The nearer he got to
that opening in the tree the greater
his appetite became. He was quite
ready to stuff himself as greedily as
he had done the day before.
But when he reached the place where
he had feasted so heartily the day he
fore sad surprise awaited him. The
honey was gone, Oh, there was some
there, but only enough to aggravate
him. He plunged his arm way down
expecting to bring up a paw full Of
dripping comb. He got some comb,
but ii wasn't dripping. 1t was quite
empty. There was only enough to
give him a taste and make him want
more.
Some one has stolen my honey"
growled Buster in his deepest, most
rumbly, gr,,mbIy growl. Some one
has dared TO steal my honey"
''Buzz-z,z-z-z-z," said voice right in
Busters ear. 'buzz-z-z-z-z. Who's
honey did You say ii was?"
II said it was mine snapped
Buster
why not tell the truth. Buzz-z.z-z.
Why not tell the truth. Buster Bear?"
buzzed that voice in his ear again.
You know 1t wasn't your honey. You
know it was my honey and-the honey
of my relatives. You know very well
it was ours, for you knoW that we
made it and hid it here. When you
took It you took what didn't belong to
YOU. 1t was our honey and what you
left we have taken away
1t was Busy Bee who was talking.
Buster saw her alight on a bit of
honeycomb in which there was still
could carry of that honey and fly
away. Then he saw other bees doing
the same thing. They were all flying
in the same direction that Busy Bee
had taken. Buster guessed that some
how they had found A new home and
all that bright. warm day they had
been working as only bees can work
to save their precious honey. They
were making the best of a bad mat
ter. They meant to have something
to begin the Winter with. They had
saved what they could and now they
would work doubly hard until the COM
ing of frost.
II must find their new home"
grumbled Buster as he backed down
the tree. And that shows how selfish
a person can be. Instead of being
glad that the bees had saved some, he
was already planning to rob them
again, If he could.

about the milk diet. In general. am
not in favor of reducing by the use Of
a diet limited TO any one food only.
1t is far more sensible to stick to an
ordinary mixed diet and cut down the
portions of each food This gives all
parts of your body building and reg
ulating material without injuring your
health.
II your physician has for any reason
advised you to undertake a milk diet
it will probably not do you any harm
If 1t is followed for a short period.
No one diet system" is to be fol
lowed by a person in normal health
for any length Of time.
The only way in which an exclusive
milk diet is likely to be of service is in
special cases OF digestive disturbance
where it is especially healthful. Such
ca ases, however. call for considerable
milk. This would result in just the
opposite condition to the one which
YOU desire. for it would be extremely
fattening.

That night Little Two Eyes did not
eat the crusts her sisters gave her.
Now, when this happened day after
day and still Little Two Eyes became
more plump and healthy than she had
ever been before. the mother and sis
ters began TO suspect something. In
order to find out the truth they de-
cided that Little One Eye should go
with Two Eyes when she took the
goat TO pasture.
Two Eyes led her sister to a grassy
bank and sang to her.
Are you awake, Little One Eye?
Are YOU asleep, Little one Eye?' she
sang over and over again. till finally
Little One Eye fell fast asleep.
Here is 1ueer-looking Little One
Eye, who was called that because she
had only one eye and that was right
in the midle of her forehead. Color
her slip very light yellow. Her slip
pers and stockings should be golden
and her hair brown.

My Neighbor Says:

Do not take too thick pairing
off potatoes. The best part of
the potato is near the skin. On
the other hand, parings from
turnips should be thick. The
turnip has an outer part that
destroys the flavor of the whole
If not thoroughly removed.
A teaspoonful Of honey in a
cupful of hot milk is one of the
best drinks for small children.
If you break glass on the floor
don't brush it up. Wet a woolen
cloth and pat gently. In this
way you gather up the smallest
slivers without any trouble.
A cloth raincoat can be
cleaned by rubbing it gently all
over with a mixture of ammo
mia and hot water. Then press
It with a hot iron on the wrong
side.
To mend fine lace curtains
starch a piece of mesh as near
like the curtain as possible. Cut
the starched patch one inch larg-
er each way than the place to
be mended and with warm
iron. press it over the hole. If
done carefully 1t will be diff.
cult to detect the patches.
You may remove rust from a
stovepipe by rubbing with lin
seed oil (and remember a little
goes a great wayl and building
a slow fire until it is dry. Oil
ing the stovepipe before putting
it away will prevent rusting.
Should milk boil over on the
stove, sprinkle the spot with
salt. This will remove the dis
agreeable odor.

making and baking. Then comes the
correct proportioning. the correct
methods of mixing the correct heat

Texture Important.
Cakes that are too full of holes

powder in them for the amount or

should be four level teaspoonfuis or

Beating OF Eggs.
Egg whites should be beaten just

after the heat has done its work.
Therefore il is essential TO have

there is but one egg and milk or water

A little more pastry -four is required
to give the thickening to batter than

Too much sugar will tend to make
the cake fall apart. There should be

egg. A little less liquid may be em-
ployed when several eggs are used.
