II YOU suffer from ordinary con

Scientific tests show ALL-BRAN

In the package, ALL-BRAN has
a shredded appearance. But
within the body, it changes to a
soft mass, which gently cleanses
the intestines. H is much Ike

chanting as the thrush's evensong in
May?
Well, the robin is here, all ready to be
the early bird. He was so eager to take
the honors for being the first bird to
get back to us that in some cases he
never left us at all, but, unacceptable
in his melting state, hiding away" in
plain sight, he has braved out Winter

twirls some notes from his song. He is
not. however, quite honestly a Spring
migrant. 1t is too soon to call Winter
over, and the robin knows it. Still.
like his optimism, and we shall hear
more Of him in the days to come.
AS for the other birds, picture it this
way: Somewhere in the Carolinas now
are the woodcocks and red-winged
blackbirds, the soras and coots and
snipee, the phoebes and barn swallows.
Further South-say, in F1orida-are the
bluejays and orioles, the vireos and
warblers. But, as for the hummingbirds,
the orioles and tanaEers, they are lin
gering still in the balm of the tropics,
waiting, like the cautious fellows they
are, for seasonable weather.

Another thing-when you tell a man

necessary examinations this would GER

Maybe you haven't any of the fresh,
succulent Spring things on hand. Still
you want good salad.
We're taking it for granted that you
have plenty of lettuce or some other
good salad green. With that on hand,
you can make good salad from many
things already on your pantry shelves.
Macaroni, for instance, forms the
basis for many good salads. If you
have little cooked chicken or pork
on hand, chop it and mix it with
macaroni that has been boiled tender
and then rinsed in cold water. The
macaroni should be in short pieces.
Pile on lettuce leaves and serve with
mayonnaise or with French or Russian
dressing.
Macaroni cooked and cooled and then
mixed with chopped cooked or raw
vegetables is delicious. With tomato
and green pepper, or with chopped
celery and chopped olives Or with
diced carrots and string beans. Or with
chopped onions and green and red pep
pers. 1t is then served on lettuce with
mayonnaise or French dressing.

ing. They have a refreshingly fresh

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Some behavior common II small
babies is the antithesis of originality.
1t appears repeatedly when the condi-
lions causing it become active. For
many years We have been noting this
particular phenomenon. At about T.
or months Of age the nursing
baby, who has heretofore slept peace
fully through the night, begins to
waken, not once, but three or more
times, demanding to be fed. This so
astounds his mother that she thinks
of every reason on earth except the
obvious one that she is dealing with
hungry baby. Once the daytime
rations are improved the sleep will
take care of itself. In a few words,
this baby needs to be weaned.
Here is an exaggers ted case Of a
mother who is putting the cart before
the horse. She writes: please ad-
wise me of the best method OF stop
ping my year-old baby from nursing at
night? Why is he so wakeful at
night?"
All the bright pupils already know
what is wrong. There is no excuse
for nursing a year-old BABY. Stop the
nursing Immediately, improve the day
no longer hungry baby will begin to
sleep through the night.
Your baby should be having three
regular meals daily and one afternoon
lunch; four cupfuls of milk daily and
no bottles or formulas; cereal twice
daily, orange juice, cod liver oil, vege-
tables and the above amount of milk
constitute a diet that makes night
feelings unnecessary. Please let me
send you the leaf1et We have on feed
ing. Please inclose a self-addressed,
stamped envelope with your request
for the leaf1et..
If he does continue to waken for
a few nights let some one else attend
to him, offering him a drink of water
while you keep out Of sight. The baby
will go to sleep if his mother stays
away from him.
Mrs. c. E. WHITE clothes are
washed as any fine garment would be,
soap and water, several rinSings and
a tiny bit of bluing, but no starch
FlannelS or part-wool garments
should be washed in good suds, rinsed
once and pulled over wooden stretch
ers to dry. You can buy these stretch
ers for shirts and hose to keep the
baby's things at their original size. I
think your choice of linen shirts for a
February baby is not good one.

when / found that he was here in the
Green Forest l thought I would like
to see him and just pass the time OF

who says Jimmy Skunk is in the
Green Forest?" inquired Jumper.
MY nose" replied Peter. Il can al
ways trust my nose. and that tells me
that Jimmy Skunk is around here some
where. or at least has been mere very
recently. Don't you smell him?"
NO" replied Jumper bluntly. mo, I
don't smell him and what is more 1
don't believe he has been in the Green
Forest this Winter. If he had would
know it,.
We'll, you are wrong!' retorted Peter.
Perhaps you can't smell him OYER there,
but if you will come over here by me
you'll smell him. 1t isn't very strong,
but it is Jimmy Skunk'S odor all right.
There is no mistaking the scent Jimmy
uses. You'll admit that can smell it
this very minute. Come over here and
you will"
