looking first at the house and then at
the food; then back at the house again.
All the time his little stomach fairly
ached with longing. Finally he could
stand it no longer. He turned and
scrambled backward down the trunk
of that tree and buried his nose in that
dinner that was waiting him there.
Hunger had won. He hadn't wanted
to come down out of that tree, but for
his stomach's sake he was down.
Farmer Browns Boy cautiously step
ped from behind the corner of the
house. Cubby went right on eating,
but he kept one eye on Farmer
Browns Boy. Farmer Browns Boy
took few steps toward him. Cubby
started to shin the tree. Farmer
Browns Boy stood still. Cubby
waited. Farmer Browns Boy didn't
move. Cubby once more dropped to
the ground and began eating greedily.

Only a true complexion
soap is safe for your face
By WILMA BANKY

Is 1T logical to expect soap that
Il would be good for laundering or
household work to be safe for your
delicate skin? No, say experts -
when beauty is at stake, take care!
Soap and water is the beauty rule
of the daN A simple rule, based on
natures needs. But the soap you
use must be a complexion soap,
soap that is kind to the skin, that
embodies the cosmetic oils it needs.
Any other would be too harsh.
Thus, largely on expert advice,
millions use Palmolive Soap; touch
their faces with no other. 1t is made
for one purpose only - to protect
and beautify the skin.
Wash the face gently with
Palmolive. Massage its balmy olive
