Fattening Titbits.

It's not so much the staple parts of
a meal that put flesh on the woman
who has a tendency to get fat as it
is the titbits she takes with the meal
and the little things she's apt to nibble
at in-between times.
For instance, you want to reduce,
you really try hard to diet, but for
some reason. you just so ON gradually
acquiring flesh and you are rather dis
cOuraged about the whole business of
getting slim. You may eat much less
ir food than you ordinarily do--you
may have learned your calories and
how to choose non-fattening foods
but what about the little extras? Let 8
take the calorie value Of some Of the
titbits.
Nice tables have little dishes of
olives and salted nuts and after-dinner
candles. These are fatal to the wom-
an who wants TO get thin. They
don't look nourishing, they're such
tiny trifles. something to nibble on
while talking and waiting for the next
course-really something to do with
your hands rather than something to
eat.
Well. every one of those Innocent
looking little olives adds up 10 to 10
calories on your daily allowance. Poor
quality olives are not so fattening, but
those rich, oily, ripe, expensive olives

Cool Cellar Required in Summer
by LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

/ most comfortable place in the house
on a day when the thermometer is
| running high temperature. To go
| to the cellar on some errand is to
| experience a moment Of relief from
the torrid atmosphere above stairs.
| 1t Is evidence Of good housekeeping
sense to take advantage of this fact
| in a practical way. The dreaded
| task-for usually such it isis then
amount of favor. Once begun In this
mood it is well on the way to COM
pletion.
A tidy cellar with walls white
washed and floors swept clean and
the contents of the whole well sys-
tematized is a part of the house in
which a homemaker may take a
justifiable pride. White washing, be-
sides making the cellar lighter and
cleaner looking. is a sanitary meas
ure advisable to take, especially If
the cellar has had a musty smell.
Charcoal is very efflcacious in its
purifying effect. This should be put
around the cellar in pans and left
there. The cellar windows should be
opened so that the fresh air can
circulate.
The walls, before being white
washed, should be at least moderate
ly clean. A cloth tied around a broom
makes it a very good cleaner for
walls If you intend whitewashing
them yourself, be sure to tie some
thing over your head before starting
operations.
Summer is the season in which any
needed repairs should be made on the
furnace or piping. 1t will be most
uncomfortable for the entire house,
hold If such repairs are left until the
Fall or Winter, when there is i'm
mediate need Of a furnace fire.
Il vegetables are stored in the cell
lar, the dryest portion of. it should
be sought for this purpose. Also
the vegetables should be inspected
occasionally in the following months
to see that those which threaten de-
cay are removed and prevented from
communicating the rest
Soap for the laundry or bath should
be bought in quantity and allowed to
become hard before using. A shelf
in the cellar can be delegated to this
purpose.

how to get rid of that bristly coat. and
that one is Jimmy Skunk. But he
| wouldn't tell Peter how, he did it.
1t was in the Fall that Peter finally
discovered how the trick was done.
Woolly Bears were travelling in all di-
rections, seeking places to spend the
Winter. Grasshoppers were no longer
plentiful. 1t wasn't so easy for
Jimmy Skunk to keep fat. He had to
roam about little more for living.
Occasionally Peter met him.
Finally one day Peter started down
the Lone Little Path, and halfway
down he met Jimmy Skunk coming up
the Lone Little Path. Good morn
ing, Jimmy" said Peter. How is
the world using you?"
Pretty well, pretty well, Peter, y
replied Jimmy.
"You look it," said Peter ''If you
were any fatter, am afraid your skin
would burst
mo danger" replied Jimmy "As a
matter of fact, l could eat a little
more without any discomfort. This
cool weather has put an end to lot
of grasshoppers. When grasshoppers
are plentiful, 1t Is easy to keep fat. "
Suddenly Jimmys eyes frightened.
A look of eagerness came into them.
He was gazing past Peter up the Lone
Little Path. LAS I live" exclaimed
Jimmy, Il believe there goes one
now!'
do you mean a grasshopper?"
asked Peter, turning to look.
II do not replied Jimmy. ST
mean Woolly Bear. There is one
thing about Woolly Bears that l ap-
preciate."
Meaning WHAT" inquired Peter.
"They cannot jump like a grass
hopper" replied Jimmy. Excuse me.
Peter; 1 must get that Woolly Bear
before he has chance to hide"
Peter stepped aside, and Jimmy
Skunk actually hurried. Anyway, he
called it hurrying. Peter followed.
When Jimmy reached the Woolly
Bear, the Woolly Bear curled up. as
is the way OF Woolly Bears. Jimmy
reached out a little black paw and
pulled the Woolly Bear to him. Then,
with those little black paws of his, ha
began to roll him. He rolled that
Woolly Bear, and he rolled that
Woolly Bear back and forth, and he
rubbed him this way, and he rubbed
him that way, and when he got
through, that Woolly Bear was no
longer a hairy caterpillar. All the
hair had been rolled and rubbed off.
but nowhere had the skin been broken.
Peter left Jimmy Skunk to eat that
Woolly Bear at his leisure. Now /
know how he does it, cried Peter.
Jimmy is clever. Yes, sir, Jimmy is
clever"

Prevention of Ivy Poisoning.

Poison ivy has three leaves on a
stem, the leaves appear Waxy or
shiny underneath. Two of the leaves
are short stalked, but the middle leaf
Is long stalked. Many persons mis-
take woodbine for poison ivy. WOOD
bine, however, has five leaves on
stem. The berries of poison ivy are
greenish at first and later turn yell
loWish or ivory, whereas the berries
of woodbine are blue. AS both of
these vines often follow fences or
trail over the ground Of neglected
places or climb over other bushes or
trees, il is well TO remember theSe
distinguishing features, ivy having
three letters and three leaves, shiny
Underneath.
The poison may be carried in the
fumes or smoke from burning ivy.
A susceptible person may be poisoned
bv passing near the growing plant,
particularly late in the Summer
when the plant is pollinating. Ordi-
narily actual contact is necessary to
produce the characteristic skin infiam-
nation.
The best treatment is applied be-
tore you get poisoned. If you know
YOU are going to be exposed, apply
10 the exposed surfaces of skin ordi-
nary soap lather and let it dry on
Then repeatedly wash the exposed
surfaces with soapy water immcdl-
stely after exposure. Wear rubber
gloves il you must handle poison ivy.
Wash the gloves as carefully as you
wash your hands, with several fresh
tinsines OF soapy water. Always
lake pains to keep the wash water
from further contact with normal
kkin, as il contains the poison and
NAV produce inflammation OF the
skin. Where contact with ivy Is
Necessarily prolonged the exposed
skin may be anointed with cup
krease or petrolatum or any kind OF
Erease or oil, instead of soap lather
which does not remain long, and the
grease as carefully washed away
when the necessary work is finished,
TOR il, too, contains the irritant prin-
riple. Likewise, clothing that has
rome in contact with the ivy or with
the washings or dressings or eXudate
from the inhamed or blistered skin
must be carefully washed or burned

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. T. ]. Fl. writes: II am in
quandary and am coming to you for
help, for 1t seems to me that your
answers are always so sane and prac-
tical. What can a young mother 90
when she wants to train her BABY III
one way and she has to fight her
husband. her husbands mother and
her own mother because OF 1t? Ii my
husbands mother comes over TO the
house and finds the baby crying she
rags me because / let him alone.
When | know he is comfortable and
he cries in a hearty, lusty way and
calms down the moment l take him
up and begins to look around with in
tcrest, l can't feel that he is being
abused or hurt in any way. But
CRYING baby is like a red rag to the
whole family and l come in for moth
ing but condemnation. 1t seems to
me a young mother has a hard enough
time following out orderly routines
with babies when babies themselves
are pretty much of a puzzle, without
having the whole family against one.
What is the right thing to do?'
AnsWer-Evcn the most model baby
cries, because crying is part of his
dayis job, and when it is so clearly APP
parent, as in your case, that there Is
nothing serious and the baby is
healthy chap, there is no reason to be
ANNOYED or frightened by his crying.
Let him get over with 1t and he ii
calm down without being held. Most
grandmothers long for an excuse to
hold babies In their arms and COM
fort them, and when they are denied
this privilege they are certain TO
think the baby is being abused. The
present mother, who will some day
be grandmother, will have had such
different ideas of what constitutes
the proper way of rearing babies that
she will be Mortified If her daughter or
daughter-in-law should run to pick up
baby every time it cries. SO don't be
hard on your mother adm mother-ln'
law. They can't change their view
points any more easily than you will
be able to change yours. 1t is all IN
habits of thought.
Choose a book or an authority or
a doctor which you trust. Use your
own good common sense in an emer-
Qency when the baby deviates from all
the rules that are laid down for him,
and otherwise follow your schedule un-
moved by what other people say. One
can't follow every guidepost even
though each of them points toward
good road. One must follow but one,
and. as most authorities in the care of
babies differ only in unessentials, you
can choose any one and be certain
that YOU won't be led far astray. 1t
is irving to satisfy every one by fol-
lowing advice in this and that partic-
uIar that distractS a young mother
and makes her doubtful that any one
knows what he or she is talking
about.

Jimmy's Cleverness.
Who uses wit way will find
To do the thing he has in mind.
Jimmy Skunk

Peter Rabbit still doubted if Jimmy
Skunk would eat such a hairy fellow
as Woolly Bear, the most hairy of all
the hairy caterpillars. In fact. Woolly
Bear is so very hairy that he fairly
bristles. Peter simply couldn't imag-
inc anybody eating Woolly Bear Yet
Jimmy Skunk had said he would eat
him if he were hungry. Peters Gu
riosity was greatly aroused. Jimmy
Skunk had said that if he were to eat
Woolly Bear, there wouldn't be any
hair on him when he ate him. Peter
aeased and teased Jimmy to tell him
how he would get rid of that hair.
But Jimmy wouldn't.
So il was that whenever Peter hap

pened to run across one of the Woolly
Bear family he would remember what
Jimmy Sunk had said and wish that
he could find out how Jimmy would
get rid of all those prickly hairs.
Moolly Bear never seemed to be
afraid. You see, among caterpillars
he is very much what Prickly Porky
Is among animals. But even Prickly
Porky isn't safe always. There is one
