Ran Away from Home
From the time that he was
a kid, he had been doing it.
He ran away from home,
bounced all over the country,
and picked his way from one
town to the next.
He had no particular method
of procedure. Sometimes he
would merely follow a prosper
Gus looking person until an op-
portunity presented itself. At
other times he would stand
near the cashiers desk in a
hotel. When anyone paid a
bill. Slim took carr to examine
the contents of the wallet.
Whoever had the most dough,
was IT.
BY the time this boy reached
the age of Is, he had done a
few short stretches in some
of the loveliest jails in the
land. And if some of those
places aren't college for
crooks, they'll do until one
comes along.
Slim landed in New York
last year and decided that the
place was made to order for
him. The greatest sucker, he
knew, is the wise guy. And
New York, he decided, is full
of suckers.
He was right, too. For Sims
business hit no depression in
New York. The big town had
big pockets. And the big shots
had full wallets. So Texas Slim
was soon riding very high.
One day he got call from
an old sweetheart in Brook
lyn. He had known the dame
from the days when he was
on the Coast. She told him
she was sick. And she needed
money. Badly.
Now Slim was the kind of a
bird who rarely asked questions.
If the girl was sick, and needed
money, that was that. He
hustled into his clothes, and
hoped a subway train for
Brooklyn. An hour later, he
was on his way back. He
never saw the girl again. Nor
the money.
Lots of Heart
Texas Slim had what some
people call heart. Lots of it. He
could always be depended upon
to slip a dime or quarter to
q beggar. And he used to make
1t a point to walk three blocks
to a newsstand for his papers,
Just because an old lady sold
them.
And so it wasn't surprising
that Irene should fall for him.
She didn't know his business.
What's more, she didn't care.
All she knew was that he was
q swell guy.
After a good day, Slim would
go to her house for dinner.
There he would talk to her
mother and father about Wall
Street. And Broadway. And
the coming elections.
They were nice people. And
they appealed to this guy. After
dinner, he usually took the
family to a show. or a movie.
And, after that, he would go
home alone, and wonder what
they would think if they knew.
So he finally decided to re-
form. He hated the thought Of
it, but it was the only thing
to do. Irene was bound to
find out sooner or later. And
Irene had come to mean more
to him than the racket.
He prepared a nice set Of

Plants in Sleeping Rooms

1t is an old tradition that plants
are harmful in sleeping dooms,
but this is unscientific. During
the day, plants give off oxygen
and moisture and take up carbon
'dioxide. At night small quantities
of carbon dioxide are given off,
but whole greenhouse full Of
plants could not give off enough
carbon dioxide to make any appre-
ciable difference in the atmos-
phere. If the windows are open
ed even slightly, the effect would
be nil.
In the winter, a good reason why
plants should not be in the sleep
ing rooms is because the windows
should be opened at night and this
would freeze the plants. Poison
plants or those which induce hay
fever should never be brought in
to the house. Other plants could
not possibly do harm, in any room
day or night.

Carrots

Those who do not have plenty
of lettuce all winter, can substi-
tute carrots and rutabagas. These
may be stored in a box of dirt in
the cellar and dug out crisp and
fresh upon demand. They furnish
something live and fresh and rich
in vitamins for the days of stale
winter food.
Carrots have a complexion value
and help to make good blood and
rosy cheeks. They are valuable
for their lime content and for cal
cium which helps to keep the
bones and arteries from harden
ing. Use carrots, raw or cooked,
three times a week, and you viii
be less subject to ricketts, and &C.

Care for Candy

When he says it with chocolates,
one feels like leaving them around,
in an open dish where we may en-
JOY the sight as well as the senti-
ment of them, and we like them
handy where we may snitch one
twice in while, calories notwith-
standing. But fine candies are
sensitive to atmospheric condi-
tions. Exposed to the warm air of
rooms and to humidity, they lose
their crispness as well as their
flavor. Fine chocolates turn gray
and dull in appearance and lose
something in taste, unless kept
closely covered. They should be

Buying Wisdom

The housewife buys nine out of
every ten articles purchased and
if she is to make every penny
count, she must give careful that
to how she spends it.
AS a general rule, it is safest to
buy at reputable stores. 1t is
rarely that we get real bargains
from alluring but unreliable ven
ders. Bargains" should be closely
scrutinized. It is not bargain for
you unless it is something you
need and which you will use rea-
sonably soon. See if it is stand
ard size and make, or second
or freak type.
In buying for a family, consider
endurance. Most household furn-
ishings must stand abuse as well
as use. Avoid elaborate fretwork
and carvings in furniture. Their
care consumes time and patience.
Usually, the best is the cheapest,
for long. time wear; but there are
articles which will have little wear
and only occasional use.
Cheaper makes of these will an
swer your purpose. 1t may be
wise not to tie up much money in
equipment, but to. replace this
more frequently.
A large stock of soap, starch,
tooth paste, or what-not is likely
to make for extravaganza. This is
a consideration. Buy at times of
over-production, for this brings
real bargains.
In buying fruits and vegetables,
consider the appearance, condition,
size, flavor and correct measure
or weight. A good pineapple has
a fine aroma. The heavier grape
fruit has more juice and is less
pithy. The same is true of pars-
nips, turnips and many other veg
etables and fruits. The solid head
of cabbage is the best. In buying

Wool

Wooden materials are excellent
for outside garments but are not
popular today as undergarments
because wool irritates the skin and
| is too warm for our well heated
houses. Wooden undergarments do
not launder well, but shrink and
mat and harden, and wool holds
bacteria and shows the soil read
lily.
For dress and coats and other
outer garments, wool is the thing.
Wool has very curly fibre with
a scaley structure. These scales
stand up when moist and warm
and lie flat when cold and dry.
This peculiar habit is what makes
| it mat and also makes it easy for
the manufacturer to adulterate
the goods.
Wool material is usually adul-
terated with cotton fibres. Such
goods wears well, better than all
wool, but it is not as warm nor
| soft and will not keep its shape as
well, and will show the soil more.
There is not enough wool in the
world to supply the demand and
lit is much adulterated, and is used
over and over again. The best
wool rags are picked to pieces and
re-spun, usually mixed with new
wool or cotton. Such material does
not wear as well as new wool
goods.
Some goods is made by the use
Iof "shoddy," short fibre clippings
from the mills, which are worked

To Freshen Up

To stuff off about ten pounds
and feel younger and better and be
more fit for work and rid of body
poisons and fatigue, try this diet
for month: Cut out from the
diet, for one month, almost all the
bread, butter, cream, potatoes and
desserts other than fresh fruits.
Eat other foods as usual. You will
be surprised how light your step
will be, how free you will feel from
that stuffy, bloated sensation, and
how much more sprightly and gay
you will become.

Sleeve Aprons

The housewife and office work
er often have delicate cuffs or
long sleeves which become unduly
soiled and need protection. A good
way to make aprons to cover them
is to cut an inexpensive handker-
chief in two, sew the ends togeth-
er, hem the cut side and run a
piece of elastic thru the hem to
hold it in place on the sleeve. Small
safety pins may be used instead
of the elastic, if preferred. Paper
napkins may be folded and pinned
on as cuffs, using small safety
pins.
