Bobby in a Bad Way.
Never, never say
You know there isn't any way.
BOBBY COON.

Bobby Coon, like most of his neigh
bors, has more than once been in a
tight place-such a tight place that
But Bobby long ago learned that the
most foolish thing that one can do is
to give up hope. Now, in one Of the
highest places he ever had been in, he
chung to hope.
They won't get me! They won't get
mel" he kept saying over and over to
himself, trying to believe it. Every
time he said 1t it seemed to give him
new strength and put new speed into
his legs
Even so, Bobby was in bad way. A
dog with good nose, very good nose,
was barking on his trail and, because
Bobby was so fat and heavy, that dog
was gaining on him. Bobby wouldn't
have worried about this had it not been
for the two hunters who were following
the dog. He could escape the dog by
climbing tree, but he knew that this
was just what the hunters wanted him
to do. If he didn't do this the dog
would catch him soon. This would not
be so bad If the dog had been alone,
for Bobby is a good fighter, but the
hunters would be sure to catch up, and
that would be the end of the fight and
of Bobby. Bobby knew it.
AS he ran he kept trying to think of
some place where he would be safe
from those hunters as well as the dog,
but the Lodges deep in the Green For
est were the only places he could think
of, and they were too far away. In the
lodges were caves and winding passages
where not even the dog could follow
and where the hunters could not pos
sibly get him out. He must think of
TAIn nf nfntu
So, while Bobby was making the very
best use of his legs, he was at the
same time using his wits. He missed
no opportunity to mix his trail, so as
to bother and delay the dog, and all
the time he kept going over in his
mind all the hollow trees and hollow
stumps and hollow logs and other
hiding places not too far away for him
to reach, hoping that he might think
of one that would promise at least
some degree of safety. He was more
and more in despair, but still he chung
to hope. He would do that to the very
last.
All the time Bobby felt that some
thing was wrong, terribly wrong. Where
was Farmer Brown? Where was Farmer
Browns Boy? Why had they allowed
these dreadful hunters to hunt him?
It wasn't fair. No, sir, it wasn't fair
BY keeping hunters away from that
part of the Green Forest they had made
1t seem safe for those who lived there
This was why Bobby had not thought
1t necessary to be so watchful and
careful and fearful as he would have
been otherwise. He had not felt that
he needed to be constantly on guard.
Now, with no warning at all, these
hunters had been allowed to enter the
Green Forest to hunt him. 1t was hard
to believe that Farmer Brown and
Farmer Browns Boy would do such a
thing. But here were the hunters and
here he was running for his life in the
very place where he had felt so safe.
1t wasn't fair. No, sir, it wasn't fair.
What Bobby Coon didn't know was

beauty. When circulation is sluggish,
waste properties will show their pres

heads, sallowness, etc. The circulation
may be kept active by exercise and
through the use of astringentS, massage
and patting, and also by alternate APP
plications of hot and cold water.
There are also many preparations on
the market called skin tonics, and most
of these are very good. They are to
be applied after cleansing the face and
before applying makeup. All Of them
have astringent properties in more or
less degree, and virtually every one
should use an astringent of some kind.
Clear cold water is one of the sim
pleSS and best astringents, If the
mother will teach her child always to
rinse her face thoroughly in cold water

long way toward helping her daughter

buy soft dressmaker's cord. Ordinary
Irvine of the coarser sort Is likely to
be too rough to be satisfactory Having
made the seam, fasten the end of the
cord TO a hairpin or thread it to a rib
bon runner or large blunt needle. Run
the needle or hairpin through one end
of the cording and then push it down
through the slot so that when the
needle IS drawn out at the other end
of the slot in the material the seam is
turned in and the cord is threaded
through the slot.
If you like you may first turn the
stitched material right side out and
then run the cord through it, but 1t
is easier to take both processes at the
same time. Loops of fine cording
make an attractive finish for the edge
of collars and cuffs.

stimulates the skin. Another simple
but effective astringent Is piece Of
ice wrapped In soft old linen. Rub the
entire face and neck gently with this
after washing and rinsing. Pat dry
with q soft towel.
AS one grows older stronger aStrin-
gents may be used to help keep the
facial muscles from becoming fiabby,
But use these stronger agents with dis
cretion. One of my readers who has a
dry skin has been using an astringent
so strong that it caused her face to be-
come blotchy. Such treatment Is far
too harsh, and any astringeht which
has this effect on the skin should be
thinned with rose-water or some SINH
lar product
Witch hazel, tincture Of ben2oin and
the various toilet waters are mild as
tringents which should cause no dis
comfort to the average skin. Those
with dry skin. however. will have to
use any aStringent except cold water
very carefully, while those whose skin
Is inclined to be oily find that fairly
strong astringent does wonders toward
improving the complexion and toning
the overactive oil and sweat glands.

and after you have cut out the mate
rial for a new dress you can use bits
of material that would otherwise be
thrown away from which to cut the
strips for the cord covering.
For fine cording of the sort that is
used to serve as loops to go over small
buttons to hold cuffs in position you
will need strips not more than half
inch wide. They should be cut on the
bias of the material.
Usually only small lengths of cording
are needed, and it Is better not to piece
the strips, as they are likely to be
punched But if this is necessary, make
a small seam, open and press well with
a warm iron. Now fold over the strips
of material and seam so that you have
a slot just large enough for the cord
you intend to use. Trim the edges a
quarter of an inch from the line of
stitching. For fine cording you can use
soft Irvine of the sort used by the
grocer.

Use OF BUTTER
AS HEALTH MOVE

Much has been said recently re-
garding the butter surplus and there
is much butter in storage but fig.
ures recently published showing the
amount of butter substitutes used
during the past year bring out the
fact that shortage should exist if
proper attention to health and home
Industry had been give by all part

The first IL months Of 1929
showed over 300,000,000 pounds Of
one brand of butter substitute sold
ia l.. S. which was gain Of more
than one per cent over the same
period of 1928. The survey also
shows a big percentage of this pro.
Duct was sold in rural districts and
even to dairymen themselves.
Dairying is the greatest agri-
cultural industry in America and
certainly dairymen themselves should
take the lead in combating any
thing which tends to ruin the dairy
business. but they can not do it all.
A given amount of money spent
for butter will do more good than
me same amount spent for butter
substitute regardless of price as it
is impossible to replace butter with
cheaper product which will do the
same amount Of good.
The value Of butter in the diet
is well illustrated by an experiment
carried on at an orphanage at Ro-
chester, n. Y. Seven children whose
average age was IL years were fed
on uniform diet, except that but

six months of the experiment was

again fed during the third period

made by each child in the first
six months when butter was used
was 6.3o pounds. During the second
