Good to Get Out Into
Wintry Weather
By FLORENCE LA GANKE

Lois looked out of the window. The
snow flakes were falling fast and fu-
riously. What a marvellous day to hug
the fire and stay at home and play
with baby Ann.
Surely it would be criminal to go out
on a day like this with baby so young
as her daughter. She sat down and
tried to read, but her conscience hurt
She remembered that all last Winter
her physician had insisted that she get
out every day. The teachings of the
prenatal clinic came back to her-a
baby can go out of doors every day in
the year if it is bundled warm enough
1t can sleep out of doors on the porch
or in sleeping box if it is properly
dressed. And more than that-hoW
well she could hear the lecturer saying
this-not only can the baby do this
but it should. Don't shut babies up in
steam heated rooms for the Winter sea-
son and expect them to be well. They
need the fresh air.
With sigh, Lois began to put Ann
into her out-of-door wrappings. She
was careful to see that the feet were
socked, booted and ensconced in the
baby bunting with its pocket for feet
She slipped the hood well over the
forehead. Then she put on her own
Winter coat. She slipped wooden
stockings over her thin silk ones before
she put on her galoshes, and warm
gloves. And out she went. She hao

make sure that the way was clear. No
where could be see anything that looked
the least bit suspicious. Jumper came
out from under the little hemlock tree
where he had been hiding and started
off, not too fast, lest he run head
long into unseen danger. His long
ears were erect to catch any suspicious
sound. His big eyes were watching,
not only ahead, but behind as well. He
had gone but a short distance when of
to one side and back of him what
seemed like the upper part OF tall
white birch stub appeared to break on
and sail out on two broad white wings:
Jumper was away like a shot, and
when Jumper really tries to run he
is a sight worth seeing. Away he went
in great bounds, those long hind legs
acting like pair of powerful springs.
But fast as he was Jumper found that
Whitley was Just as fast. 1t was sur
prising how fast those great broad
wings carried him along. At first he
didn't gain, but after bit Jumper be-
gan to slow down without knowing 1t.
Then Whitley began to shorten the dis
lance between them. It came over
Jumper that his legs would tire before
Whiteys wings would.
Now, Jumpers eyes are so placed in
his head that he can look behind when
he is running, and doesn't have to turn
his head to do 1t. This Is important.
1t is just so with Peter Rabbit. Both
Jumper and Peter are often chased and
if it were necessary for them to turn
their heads in order to watch their pur-
suers they would soon be in difficulties
But with their eyes placed as they are,
they can see behind and so know just
when to dodge.
Whitley was coming fast now. Jump
er saw that he was just about ready To
strike. Jumper lodged and away he
went In quite another direction
Whitley turned as quickly as he could
but Jumper had gained. A few minutes
later Jumper lodged again with the
same same result: 80 began game OF dodge 5ge
Whitley the Snowy Owl If he should
win, and his own life the prize for
Jumper should he win. Every instant
it grew more exciting. It didn't seem
as If Jumper could possibly keep it up

Interesting Articles for Table

pleased with potatoes he found that
on his return voyage to Great Britain
he took enough of the edible tubers
back with him to begin growing them
on his estate in the Emerald Isle.
Potatoes must have rapidly become
popular from this time and also cheap
to grow, for they acquired the name OF
Irish potatoes and are so called fire.
quently to this day. AS will be seen,
they more truthfully deserve to be
termed American potatoes.
1t is recorded that the potatoes m
troduced previously into England by
one John Hawkins were not white, but
yelIow-potatoeS such as we call sweet
potatoes The Peruvians called their
white tubers "battata," which makes 1t
an easy translation to our own WORD
potato" TheSepotatoeS were introduced
from Peru to Spain before they went
to any other European country. The
point is debatable whether England got
them first from America through Spain
or her own colonists who were our
settler ancestors.
With such an interesting American
genealogy, it is not surprising that the
potato is popular. 1t is for the home
makers to become acquainted with
some of their qualities and grades
when buying potatoes, when cooking
and when serving them. Potatoes are
rich IN starch, but not in nitrogen
They require supplementing with other
vegetables to supply a correctly bal
anced vegetable diet. Their flavor is
not so pronounced that white potatoes
fail to blend with other vegetables
agreeably. This quality Of blending
makes them especially good to serve as
one of the vegetables on a menu.
Very small potatoes are graded as
seconds. Very large ones are not de-
sirable to serve except mashed, French
or "shoestring" fried potatoes. Small
potatoes are good for parsley potatoes
and potato salad. Medium-sized pota-
toes are the most in demand. When
buying potatoes see that you get the
size suited to your needs.

Answer-O Try the following treat

your face and neck with cold cream.
Wipe it off. Now mix three table
spoonfuls Of corn meal with hot water
and spread this on the skin. OF course,
it should not be hot enough to burn
or to be really uncomfortable. Leave
it on a few minutes, then wipe 1t of
before 1t has cooled Press out the
larger blackheads with comedon ex-
tractor, a little instrument you may
buy at any pharmacy. Battle the skin
with warm boric acid solution, made
by diSSolving heaping teaSpoonful of
boric acid in pint of boiled water.
Do not try to press out the tiny black
heads. Pat on some witch-hazel Cor a
mixture Of equal parts of witch-hazel
and rose water) and let 1t dry on the
skin. If your complexion feels sensi-
tive after the treatment, pat on little
soothing facial cream. Every day use
plenty of cleansing cream on your face,
making two separate applications. Wipe
them of and apply witch-hazel. AL
ways use cold cream as powder base
Sometimes an excessively dry. sensitive
skin is due to lack of proper diet. If
you are underweight, build yourself up
Drink more milk and eat more cheese
and fatty foods. When the excessive
dryness Is corrected it will be easier to
treat the blackheads.
(2) There are blonde rinses that you
may use to bring out the lights in your
hair. The juice of lemon in a pint
of water makes simple rinse. Leave
1t on for 10 minutes, after your hair
has been shampooed and rinsed. Rinse
of in clear water. OF course, your
hair will continue to grow in brown at
the roots, since you are not naturally
pure blonde. LOIS LEEDS.
