old Mother Nature.

YOHNNY CHUCK, sitting on the
old stone wall watched Reddy
Fox turn and trot away in dis
~ gust. He watched until Reddy
was no more than a red speck
over toward the Old Pasture. Ihen ne
looked rueiully over toward his home,
where Reddy had been digging.
He didn't get me, but he did ruin
nv house" muttered Johnny some
what Wrathfully. You could hardly
blame him for feeling a bit Wrathful.
No. sir YOU could hardly blame him.
That had been a very good house. with
front door and a back door. 1t had
been even better when third door had
been added. But nov this last door had
been torn wide open by Reddy, ana tne
hall leading down to the main hall
had been dug big enough Tor FOX 10
enter easily.
Johnny looked across the Old Or
chard to where Polly Chuck was living
with five children. IF it were not for
those youngsters I could go live with
Polly. She has a big, comfortable
house. and a safe one. 1t is plenty big
enough for two. but it isn't big enough
for seven" muttered Johnny dlsconso-
lately. Il suppose III have to dig new
house or else fix up one of my old ones
down on the Green Meadows, and I
don't want to go down there. want
to stay up in this neighborhood. I
guess III go over and see Polly and tell
her what has happened She ought to
be warned Reddy may try some such
trick on her"
So, mumbling and grumbling, Johnny
made his way over to the home of Polly
Chuck. Polly was sitting on her door
step and the five little Chucks were eat
ing grass close by.
MY, but you look cross!" exclaimed
Polly as Johnny came up.
Il have reason to-" replied Johnny
glumly. IF ever anybody had reason
to look cross, I have. I haven't any
home"
How is that?" asked Polly. with a
quick interest Il thought you had a
very good home"
Il did, but I haven't now" replied
Johnny. Then he told her all about
what had happened. Il don't know
what to do" he concluded. "Of course,
I can dig a new house around here
somewhere, but somehow I don't feel
like doing that. Or I can go down on
the Green Meadows to one of my old
houses, but I don't feel like doing that
Have you noticed how the children
have grown?" asked Polly.

like to eat them occasionally for lunch
with Just a sprinkle of sugar. Some
people like to add a dash of vinegar.
Perhaps you know that the original
way Of serving tomatoes. which were
called love apples, was with sugar and
cream. This was when it had been dis
covered that they were not dangerous
to eat. We think 1t amusing now when
we read warming in old cookery books
against the tomato as a cause of can
cerl
Nowadays the tomato has risen to the
topmost rung of the ladder Of food
value, because of its high vitamin and
mineral content We drink tomato
juice cocktails and eat tomatoes in nu-
merouS ways as favor for soup and
sauces all Winter. 1t is one Of the
vegetables which retain not only food
value but flavor after canning.
When we can get them fresh in their
season. however, we welcome tomatoes
not only for the uses mentioned, but for
frying, broiling and baking. Fried to-
matoeS make delicious main dish for
luncheon, and in some sections OF the
country are favorite for breakfast
Certainly there is nothing better thar
fried tomatoes with a cream gravy,
served with waffies or griddle cakes,
whether you serve them for breakfast
Sunday breakfast-or lunch.
Whenever tomatoes are cooked, they
should not be overlooked. You may
remember my mentioning the fact
which I noticed in France end in
Sweden that tomatoes were under
cooked rather than overlooked They
are exposed to the heat just long
enough to brown them and in this way
shape and favor are preserved. l ShcH
not soon forget the tomatoes Proven

allowed to broil or bake to 10 min

There are some ways in which the
usual service of the raw tomato is bet
ter in this country. We usually skin
them before Slicing them for salad, and
we usually serve them chilled. To-
matoes to be used for salad should
preferably be skinned several hours be-
fore we expect to use them and then
chilled until We need them. Did you
ever try freezing small whole or halved
tomatoes in the tray of the automatic
refrigerator. They can be spread with

Johnny glanced at them without much

admitted

the garden. Well, whatever you do,
don't go so far that you can't drop

Then Polly changed the subject and
told Johnny what care the children
were and what a load Of anxiety she
carried, and how hard it was to keep
an eye on all five lively children all
the time, and what relief a little help
now and then would be, until, without
realizing what he was doing, Johnny
sat up to keep watch while Polly went
to get something to eat. And as he sat
there the hint that Polly had dropped

lNCLE SAM is a landlord with conscience,

with the low price Of meat, the stock raisers
