low found himself slowly but surely
being propelled to the front. The next
thing he was conscious of was the inn
pact of two steel fists landing flush in
his face. When he came to, the crowd

administering first aid to his scram-
bled features. His curiosity had been

That youth will be served is demon
strated by the number of young men
whose names will appear in the new
edition of the Congressional Direc-
tory. Among the youngest members
of the Senate will be Millard e. Tyd.
ings Of Maryland. He and Senators
Bob La Toilette and Nye are the
children" of the upper august body.
Senator Tydings is 81 years old and
his two colleagues a yea r or two
younger. Each of them entered the
political arena as youngsters, La Fol
lette serving as aid to his father.
Politics is a profession, and as in most
professions, only those who begin to
practice early achieve distinction.
Theodore Roosevelt was a mere
youngster when he entered the New
York State Assembly. Calvin Cool
idge was shared as very young per-
son. AL Smith is another who estab.
lished himself in his profession at an
early age.
None of these men made the grade
without considerable effort. Tydings,
for instance, is a former speaker of
the Maryland Legislature. a State
senator, and was elected twice to the
House. In addition to his legislative
record, he served in the World War
and was a lieutenant colonel of In
fantry in his twenties. He was deco
rated with the distinguished service
medal and received three citations for
bravery. That's pretty fast travelling
for a man still in his thirties.
William Jennings Bryan electrified
the country with his ''cross of gold
and crown of thorns" speech while on
the sunny side of 40.

1t was the night of the very day
that Mrs. Bear and Cubby and his
twin sister had gone to bed for the
Winter that Buster made up his mind
that it was time for him to go to bed.
1t was late in the night, well on to-
ward morning, that he made up his
mind. He had been roaming about un-
easily all night long, trying to find
something to eat, and had had very
little success.
IT'S no use," grumbled Buster. "It
is time for me to turn in, and the
sooner do it the sooner I'll forget my
stomach. know just where I'm going
to spend the Winter. I've had my eye
on that place for some time. In fact,
way back last Summer / decided that
that place would make the best kind
of a Winter home. So I think I'll go
over there now, get together some
leaves for bed and turn in for the
Winter"
Buster shuff1ed along through the
Green Forest. Deeper and deeper into
the Green Forest he shuffied. Finally
he came to where a lot of trees had
been blown over. Some of these trees
had been broken off; some had been
torn up by the roots. Straight over to
one of the latter shuffied Buster.
Where the roots had been torn out
great hole had been left and this had
been partly covered over by other
fallen trees. Buster was so intent on
getting to his Winter bedroom that he
didn't pay attention to anything else.
So it was with something of shock
that he shifted the scent brought him
by a wandering little Night Breeze
and smelled-Bear!
Buster stopped short. He stretched
out his nose and once more shifted.
There was the bear scent and it wasn't
one bear that he smelled, but three.
Worst of all, that scent came straight
from the bedroom he had regarded as
his own. Buster drew back his lips
and snarled under his breath. For the
first time he used those little eyes of
his and he discovered three sets of
footprints, one set of big ones and two
sets of small ones. Those footprints
led straight in to that hole under the
big root.
Very cautiously Buster approached.
At the entrance he paused. Suddenly
a low warning growl came to him.
Buster decided right then and there
that that wasn't such good place to
spend the Winter as he had thought it
would be. Silently he turned and with
out a sound hurried away. He would
use his old bedroom another Winter.

Curiosity is said to have killed

Nutrition Nuggets

While all fruits are very wholesome
for individuals in perfect health, 1t
sometimes happens that one must tenn
porarily give up the so-called acid
fruits. Not that these fruits increase
acid in the system, but they do some-
times, because of temporary digestive
disturbances, interfere with the imrne-
diate digestive processes. Under cer-
tain circumstances it is worth while
to try what we call sub-acid fruits,
such as sweet apples. One hastens to
say this because of the prevailing con-
fusion about acid fruits. The fact re-
mains, however, that 1t is sometimes
an advantage to use sweet fruits. and
this should be determined by individ-
ual circumstances.
Texture of foods is something that
is not considered as much as it should
be. For example, fine grains of ce-
reals are more easily taken care of by
the digestive juices than certain tyres
of coarse grains. Furthermore, the
texture of ready cereals is diff.
ferent from those cooked at home.
Mechanical processes used in making
shreds. puffs or other forms, of dry
cereals also help to make these prod
ucts particularly digestible. OF course,
any one in normal health can choose,
according to his fancy, taking one type
of cereal and then another for the
sake of variety and appetite values.
On the other hand, in the case Of
young children or those who have for
any reason to consider their diges-
tions, it is worth while to know which
forms are most particularly digestible.

pieces of extra hair are used to trans
form shingle bob into long-hair coif-
fure they are usually in the form of
a waved switch, frequently with
curled ends, that is laid over the short

this switch is a godsend.
Today I am going to describe for

Winter Coifures.

The problem Of coiffuring bobbed
hair that is being allowed to grow
long Is live one at this time. Some
girls solve it by having a permanent
wave that makes it easy to dress the
hair and does away with curling with
hot irons or waver5. OF course, the
hair grows better when it is not SUBJ
jected to daily curling.
Most of the long-hair coiffures of
the season are dressed rather close

Even in the middle of Winter. when
the Green Forest is wrapped in snow
and ice, there are seeds to be found.
and then, too, there is food stored up
by wise little Whitefoot.
But with Buster Bear it is very,
very different. He cannot store up
food to use through the Winter, and
when the snow and ice wrap the
Green Forest there is no food for such
a big fellow. So 1t is that Buster Bear
and all his family sleep away the cold
months.
Now, Buster is seldom in hurry to

his stomach, does Buster Bear. AS
long as there is anything to eat Buster
postpones that Winter nap of his. 1t
