Az sden a. Danny Fox reached
grandmother Goosey's little house, he
hid behind the woodpile to wait for
Peter Pig to arrive with the old lady
goose.

Then of for home I'll 60 with her in
my old sack" and he grinned again
at the thought of nice fat goose for
supper. Pretty soon he pricked up his
ears as down the breeze came the
creakerty creak Of the old cart as 1T
bumped over the uneven woodland
path. So certain was the old fox
that he would catch poor Grandmother
Goose that he never took his eyes off
the Forest Trail where 1t curved in
towards the little house. All he
wanted was to catch sight of Donkey
Longears. After that, SO the old fox

he had only one idea in his mind, and
so of course he never turned away
his eyes. If he had, maybe, but not
surely, he might have seen the brave
Policeman Dog peeking out from be-
hind a big tree. But the big, blue
coated old dog saw Danny Fox. Well.
I Just guess he did, and with a
chuckle that almost sent a brasAbut-

the donkey cart to draw up to the
little house. He to, heard the creak-

the front door. For a moment she
fumbled in her satchel for the door

with a long leap stood close beside
her. Dear me, again. Why does it al

the third time. Before she had even

When our sons go to war they

FACE D|SF|CuREl
WITH PIMPLES
AND BLAckHEADs
Druggist proves a friend In need

Kalispell, Mont, March 1.-two
years ago my face was an awful
sight. The skin broke out with
pimples and blackheads and itched
all the time. ! washed it frequently
and applied VARIOUS salves, but
they helped little. One day asked
a druggist for a good cure for nv
case, and that night l took home a
small jar of Resinol Ointment.
Every morning and night l washed
my face and applied the ointment,
rubbing it in good. After a few
treatments l noticed the pimples
were starting to decrease and in
two or three weeks they were prac-
tically gone. I was so well pleased
with the results that I now keep
Resinol on hand and recommend Il
whenever I can" (Signed) Elkin E.

Did the old fox obey that brave Po-
