sects If they were all consumed, espe-,
Cially the very destructive termiteS.
When this hunter finds an ants nest
he scrapes the dirt away from the city
gates. The way he uses his great claws
must sound as If an earthquake had
struck their city and ants pour out of
the long roadways by the thousands.
Just what the ant eater wanted. His
long, queer snout Is placed at the en-
trance gate: the long. round tongue.
coated with a sticky substance. is
quickly covered with the excited ants.
Not aS long as one ant Is likely TO come
ur to see. what has happened to the
others does the ant eater leave the hill
These strange-lookfng creatures are
rarely seen except in geological gar
dens. Their home, is In South America,
particularly In Paraguay. They range
from La Plata to the Caribbean Sea-
~ Unless very much annoyed, they will
not pay any attention to you. They att
tend strictly to their own business.
Though Of unusual size, few taps on
the head would kill even the largest
one. Its flesh and skin are not in de-
mand, except by a few credulous peo-
pie In Paraguay, who still believe that
lumbago can be cured If the skin Of
an ant eater is placed on the sheet of
the afflicted one. A few uncivilized
Indians are said to eat the flesh.
The size of this creature inspireg~re-
spect among the other animals, The
jaguar and cougar are its only Ihggres-
sive foes. The planters in Paraguay are
especially indebted to these animals and
protect them against their two enc
mics. Termites and ants are very nu-
rnerous and destroy many crops. There
are smaller ant eaters. but their method
is the same for catching their food.
The head and snout are especially long.
There are no teeth, as there is no need
OF any. The tongue is long, round and
slender. 1t looks like a worm and is
often mistaken for one. 1t is flashed
in and out Of the mouth. The ants
cover IL quickly when it Is thrust into
their midst, and before they know what
l. is all about, they have been trans
ferred to the ant eaters mouth and
the tongue is back with another family
group Of wriggling ants. The ears and
eyes of this creature are very small.
There Is one baby q year-a peace
ful, quiet child that keeps well out OF
the way by riding on its mothers back.
In this way it is getting used to the
clever way its mother hunts and routs
cut the ant, and the mother knows
where her child is all the time. The
long claws of the infant are buried deep
in its mothers hair as she goes ambling
along or bends over to inspect every
likely looking hill that might be the
fiourishing home Of fine dinner OF
ants.
In geological gardens, where ant eat
ers are seen, they are fed on meat
ground very fine and made moist. Ap-
parently they are contented with their
surroundings and give little trouble
They appear to be hunting for ants and
no doubt keep hoping they will find q
thrifty ant village some day, and this
hope inspires them /,

LITTLE BENNY

Me and pop was taking a wawk be-
fore supper and we came to a drug
store with a big sine in the window
saying, New, Modern, Practical, Light
ming Shave Tablets Put one on your
shaving brush and whisk it into a per-
feck lather before you can say Jack
Robinson.
BY gollies that sounds like quite an
ideer, pop said. AS a charter member
of the Gimmick Gatherers Union 1
think I better look into that, he said
And we went in the drug store, pop
saying to the man, I'd like to try some
of these Lightning Shave Tablets.
Yes sir, it's CRATE buy, you cant
lose, the man said, and pop said, How
come, can always lose.
Not this time, not on Lightning
Shave Tablets, for the simple reason
that an iron clad guarantee goes with
each and every package, the man said
In other words, you try tablet and If
for any reason you're dissatisfied you
simply rapp up the rest of the package
and send it to the factory with your
name and address and your money will
be cheerfully refunded, he said.
Being little man with partly gold
teeth, and pop said, Now that's just too
bad, that just. puts a permanent crimp
In the sale.
Why. how. I don't understand, the
man said. and pop said, The top shelf
of my medicine cabinet is paved with
things that ! could OF sent back under
those very same terms, but I didn't,
although no doubt should have as a
good bizzness man, and yet I know
now that | never shall, and the thawt
of adding to that collection is more
than I can bare I'm sorry you mem
toned the money back guarantee, but
it's too late now. Well, we may meet
again but who can say? he said ~
And we went out again and pritty
soon we came to another drug store
with the same sine in the window, and
We went In and pop said to the man,
I'll take q package of Lightning Shave
Tablets If you can give them to me In
absilute silence
Okay, the man said. Being the ony
thing he said, and this morning pop
tried to shave his face with one of the
tablets and after it had dropped of, of

rest of the package on the top shelf
of his medicine cabinet and shaved

Wonder Works of Long Ago.
Temple Of Solomon.

1cmpte Oh SOtOm0n.
IF A picture made at the time the
Temple of Solomon existed could
be found, it would be of high value.
L As it Is, there is no such picture
and We must depend on. ancient
accounts for our knowledge of the
building which was the pride. Of the
ancient Jews.
Modern architects, among them the
Frenchman, Chipiez have made draw
ngs Of the temple based on the old
figures; and some of the drawings may
be fairly close to the truth,
King David, father of Solomon, had
charge of wooden box measuring
8 feet 9 inches by feet inches,
and in this box were two stone
tablets with the Ten Commandments
written on them. The box was over
laid with gold and went by the name
of ARK of the Covenant"
David placed the box in q tent and
offered sacrifice before it.
Within a few years after he came to
the throne, King Solomon set about
building temple which was to contain
the Ark of the Covenant. Architects
from nearby country, Phoenicia, came
to Jerusalem and drew up plans. Hun
dreds of men went to the forests of
Lebanon to obtain lumber; and others
went forth to cut stone blocks from the
mountains. ~
For seven years the work was carried
on, much of it being done by skilled
craftsmen from PhOeniCia.
The main part of the temple is be-
Heved to have been about SO feet high,
33 feet wide and 100 feet long; and it
is stated that the walls were 8 or 10
feet thick at the base Cedar wood
was used in building the roof.
Inside was a chamber known as the
Holy of Holes, and in this chamber the
Ark of the Covenant was kept. Beside
1t were placed two large winged figures,
carved from wood and covered with
gold.
The Temple Of Solomon stood for
close to 400 years. Then 1t was de-
stroyed by soldiers from Babylonia, who
captured and set fire to Jerusalem. The
ruler of the Babylonians was Nebuchad-
rezzar. He carried some of the Jews
into captivity.
While they were h Babylnnia. the.
Jews learned much &bout khd Uaysf IL
that famous land; but they longed to
return to their own scountry At last
they were set free, and another temple
was built in Jerusalem; but the new
temple did not contain the Ark Of the
Covenant.

Let Baby Dictate.
~ NE of the first principles of
feeding. which must be
stressed frequently, Is to let
~ the child's appetite dictate the
amounts of food which he
needs. Even small babies are prone to
show individualism by refusing all of
the formula we prepare. Wise mothers
take note of this reluctance and re-
duce the formula rather than force 1t
upon them.
When solid foods are begun at five
months we cannot say, except sug-
gestively, Baby must have so and so
many spoonfuls of cereal." because
babys own appetite may refuse that
specific number. Instead we offer q
spoonful, then two spoonfuls, until we
have reached q point where baby indi-
Gates indifference, and there we stop.
No child was ever won to a liking for
any type Of food which he was COM
PEELED to eat. Forcing may get food
into the child's stomach, but his in
ner rebellion against it colors his emo
tions toward that food forever after.
We set up the most definite antag-
may make its digestion difficult. Also,
a very marked dislike for a food may
indicate particular food SenSitivlty,
and we should respect 1t.
One mother wrote, deploring the fact
that she was far from doctors and
clinics and therefore had no way of
knowing how much Of any kind of food
the baby should have. What was more
important in this case than doctors
or clinics was that she had baby him
self. He knows how much of cereal
or vegetable or milk he wants and his
mother should let this home barome-,
MY ieafet called s.How to Increase
New Foods" is helpful in showing
mothers what steps to take in begin
ming q new food and how the amounts
may be increased. Your request for
it should include elf-addressed, s.
cent stamped envelope. There always
comes q time when baby's appetite
languishes, and 1t Is wise to stay below
that point. A genuine desire for
more Is an excellent spur to the appe-
tite for food at some other meal.
II the child is always forced to take
another mouthful or two when he has
had all he wants, he Is bound to de-
velop a distaste for some food. Let's
prevent that II possible.

ETER RABBIT had safely
reached Farmer Browns gar
den. In broad daylight he had
i crossed the Green Meadows
from the dear Old Briar-patch
No member of the Hawk family had
been about to see him, and neither
Reddy Fox nor Old Man Coyote was
around at that hour Of the day.
Peter slipped under the fence and
behind o shock OF corn, for the corn
field adjoined the garden. From be-
hind the shock Of corn Peter peered
to watch Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy. They were digging some
be the carrots. When he discovered
that potatoes, not carrots, were being
dug. he breathed a soft little sigh of
relief. He thought about those car
rots so much that he had come to look
on them as If they were his own. Yes,
sir, ne thought of those carrots as his
when all the time they were Farmer
Browns
Watching his chance, Peter slipped
over to the bed Of carrots. No one
saw him. He chuckled as he discov-
cred that only few Of those carrots
had been pulled. There was no cause
for worry on that score as yet. Peter
dug one out OF the earth and began
nibbling at 1t. 1t was good. It was
very good. Peter continued to nibble
while he peeped out from under the
green tops of the carrots and watched
the digging Of the potatoes.
When his appetite was satisfied, he
thought Of Mrs Peter and wished that
she was with him. "She is altogether
too timid. She misses lot because of
It. There wasn't the least bit of danger
in coming over here this morning. I
knew It, Yes, SIR knew It, but I
couldn't make her believe it. Neither
Reddy Fox nor Old Man Coyote would
venture over here In broad daylight
with Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy at work here. With the
Hawk family gone South there was
nothing to fear in crossing the Green
Meadows from the dear Old Briar-
patch"
He remembered his promise to take
her the incest carrot he could find.
He would do 1t right away. Perhaps
when she had tasted it she would come
back with him and together they could
take some back to store in the dear
Old Briar-patch for use in Winter when
other food was hard to find. So he

Useful Cheesecloth.

Do you know how useful cheesecloth
Is in the kitchen? A yard or two, cut
In half-yard squares, should always be
on hand It takes but a minute to
launder these pieces, and they can be
used over and over again. Two of them
together make strainer for fruit juices
and fats; lettuce and cucumbers for
salads may be dried quickly with the
cloth. A piece can be wrung out of hot
water to keep sandwiches moist It is
better to wipe meat and fish with q

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

Like the things that boys oughtn't
to do.
The days that are joys to remember
Are the days when sat by the pool
And angled for trout,
When knew, past doubt,
That ought to be toiling in school
The days when hooked" on a bob
sleigh
And rode for full many a mile
Are the days that come back
Down the long, fading track
And bring me o glad, happy smile.
Remorse Is dissolved In the distance,
And, though maybe ought to feel
sad,
! glance through the haze
To my happiest days
The days when I knew was bad.

They judge quality by size. So Peter
went looking for the biggest carrot he
could find. At last he found one so
much bigger than any others he had
seen that he was sure it was what he
was looking for, the finest carrot in
the garden. He dug away the earth
from around the upper part and it was
so big that he had to sit down for

he tried to pick it up. He couldn't get
