Jimmy Skunk has sense OF hui
Nor. He likes his little joke. Tie
knows just how afraid of him ev-
erybody is and he likes to see them
afraid. So Jimmy kept walking to-
wards Reddy Fox and appeared not
to notice that Reddy kept backing
up. In a few moments Jimmy was
between Johnny Chuck and Reddy.
1T seems to me, Reddy, | have
never seen you looking finer said
Jimmy. advancing two or three
steps.
I'm feeling fine. Jimmy. In fact.
I never felt finer" declared Reddy,
retreatins two or three steps.
Jimmy advanced few steps
more. How is the hunting?" he
inquired.
Reddy basked off few steps
more. Hunting has been pretty
good" said he. but now that the
grasshoppers are nearly gone We
miss them"
80 you like grasshoppers, do
you?" said Jimmy. There's where
you show your good taste. I've
been getting fat on grasshoppers
this summer. I'm so fat that I'm
positively lazy. But can't resist
nice. plump CRASH ppers. BY the
way. what do you expect to find up
here in the carrot latch ?" All the
time that Jimmy was talking he had
been advancing and Reddy had also
been retreating.
1T doesn't look as if I shall find
anything" replied Reddy in a dis
couraged tone OF voice. Did you see
Mrs. Reddy over there"
Jimmy turned and pretented to see
Mrs. Reddy fer the first time. why,
Mrs. Keddy. how DO you do?" he
cried. Il certainly must pay you
my respects" Jimmy turned and
began TO amble towards Mrs Reddy.
Mrs. Reddy sat right where she was
until Jimmy was almost to her.
Then she began to back away, all
the time trying to appear not to.
Jimmy Kept right on going and Mrs.
keddy kept right on backing away.
She was doing her best not to show
that she was losing her temper. but
with every step she took backwards
her temper grew shorter.
Jimmy Skunk appeared to be
looking for beetles. He wandered
back and forth. always keeping be-
tween Mrs. Reddy and Jerry Musk
rat and Mrs. Muslrat, and all the
time movingin such a way as 10
force Mrs. X aGdy farther and faV-
ther back. You see. Jimmy Skunk
as the most inde pendent little fellow
in al the Great World. He carries
a lItle bag of scent d strong
Int that nobody likes. In
itrt when Jimmy throws it in the
FAC" of an enemy, that enemy is
lilly to cough and S, rangle and lose
his nrtdth. and for d time be quite
I'll nicG, 10 say nothing of hating
iimS"lf for DAYS and days after be-
cause OF the smell he carries around
with him. So all the people of the
Green Forest, big and little. have
great respect for Jimmy Skunk. This
was why Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
we're trying so very hard TO be polite
and why they keep backing away as
jimmy advanced. They didn't want
to be within range should Jimmy
lose his temper and try throwing
that scent.
Now. Jimmy knew all this. He
knew it perfectly Well He was en-
joying the situation very much. He
knew that Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
We're trying to catch Jerry Muskral
or Mrs. Muskrat or Johnny Chuck
And he knew that there was a
chance that the two WORKING to-
gctheP might get one OF them. Sc
pretending not to notice what was
going on, he kept driving Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy farther back.

Health Hints
by DIR, NORRIS FISHRElN
Editor journal OF the American
Medical Association and of Hy-
yoin the Health Nam zin4


gcta, the Health Maxazin
With the coming OF fall and with
the exposure OF the skin to the win
try blasts. chapping of the skin be-
comes daily problem.
Chapping il the way the skin
has of expressing its reaction to
physical irfitations. In winter the
air is dry and the glands Of the
skin situated just fellow the sur
face are relatively inactive. They
produce less moisture than for
merly.
This. coupled with the increased
dryness of the skin. because the
wind and dryness of the air serve
to evaporate the moisture more
quickly. is responsible for chap
ping.
Skin Becomes brittle
The lack OF moisture makes the
skin inelastic. brittle and more
easily attacked by irritating sub
stances. such as occur in dish
water and in some soaps. When
the fat secreted by the skin
glands is present in abundance.
these rritants cannot attack it.
Soaps serve to dissolve such
fats and to take them away from
the surface. When the hands are
badly chapped. soap and water
should be used in great modera-
ton. and WIN they are used. the
hands ,''ould be dried imme-
diately after with soft towel
Since the fat of the skin is less
cned, and since this Is one of
the causes of the chapping. the
deficiency Of fat may be supplied
by putting on any such ointment
as cold cream or vaSeline. During
the winter season. particularly "
the hands are likely to be exposed
a great deal to outdoor air. they
, should l@ creased twice each day
toned.
Thick Coat At Night
| If chapping has already oc-
Cured. the cold cream or vaseline
may be put on thickly at night
and allowed TO remain on the skin.
During the day it may I've put on
lightly and rubbed in by rubbing
the hands together for a few min
utes.
If the skin of WOman's face
tends to chap. it may be protected
by a veil: and by a man through
use of the coat collar and suit
able grease.
