HINTS TO
 HOUSEWIVES

Efficient cooking equipment is as essential to meal success as good ingredients. When buying spoons see that they are large, light and easy to hold Too often spoons are so heavy that they tire the wrists or the handles are so sharp they cut into the hands.
 Did you know that Two cups of butter or other solid fat equals pound: one pound of grated cheese equals four cups; five eggs, will fill one cup, and a pound of dates or prunes, when pitted, make two cups?
 Cooking cereals in milk or equal parts of water and milk increases the milk consumption. This is espe- cially advised for those under weight people or for children who balk at drinking milk.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
A grudging liking you'll detect
For an opponent you respect.
fvhMak

IF AN adversary wins your respect,
= you will in time ind that no matter
how bitterly you have fought you have
q sort of liking for him.
When Polly Chuck whistled the
alarm, the danger signal, that stopped
the fight between Johnny and the
strange young Chuck who had aroused
Johnny's jealousy, they saw instantly
the cause for that alarm. It was Flip
the Terrier. He was racing toward
them so excited that he couldn't bark
straight. You have heard Of people
being unable to talk straight. Well,
it was just so with Flip. He was too
excited to bark straight. He would
start to bark and it would wind up
In a yelp.
The two rivals, who moment be-
fore had been fighting, were now side
by side, shoulder to shoulder, as they
faced the common enemy. Their
quarrel was put aside. Having been
engaged in a bitter fight they were
in no mood for retreat. They faced
Flip and waited. Flip had come rae
ing up as If nothing could stop him,
but when he saw that he was faced
by two adversaries. and who they
were. his enthusiasm for fight waned,
but his excitement increased.
He was no coward Not bit of it.
Had either Of those Chucks been
alone it is probable that he would
have recklessly plunged to the at
tack regardless Of the fact that he
had fought with Johnny Chuck be-
fore and had come out second best.
But the two sets Of sharp teeth being
shown him in such an unpleasant
and threatening manner were at least
one set too many and he knew it.
So at a safe distance he stopped
and then began dancing back and
forth and from side to side, making
threatening rushes of a few feet only
to back hastily, and all the time bark
ing as If he were trying to bark his
head off.
The two Chucks were, Of course,
right out in the open. They didn't
like this. A Chuck, when he must fight.
likes to have something behind him,
safe retreat or at least a stone or
tree to protect him from the rear. So
when Flip backed away after each of
his futile little dashes they also backed
away. Little by little they were back

those Chucks out there. It was the
only safe retreat they had with that
Dog so near.
Little by little they came back and
back until they were at the foot OF
the little mound Of sand that formed
her doorstep. There they stopped
backing. They were safe now and they
knew they were safe. Meanwhile Flip
had discovered Polly Chuck and he
was fast losing interest. No Dog his
size could be expected to fight three
big Chucks at once. Unless Bowser
the Hound came to his aid, he might
as well 60 home and forget about
them, and there were no signs that
Bowser was coming. Flip contented
himself with staying at a little dis
tance and barking and finally grew
tired Of that and started back for
the house. now and then turning to
give few half-hearted barks.
Johnny Chuck and his rival relaxed

Both were the worse for wear, as the

Natures Children
HOLSTERS Chipmunk
(Tarnias striatus).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

A DARKER fur coat Of q richer
n and deeper shade, with golden
~ stripes, identifies this hand
4 n some chipmunk from his
cousins, Of which there are many.
Otherwise his habits are the same and
his thrift a. xealous.
Ohipmunks were among, II not the
first, foresters Of America. They are
never found except in the vicinity OF
trees. They have q squirrel-like form,
but the tail, which Is bushy, is only
half the length Of the head and body.
They have cheek pouches and are al
ways marked with conspicuous stripes
along the back and sides. They have
long ears, too.
HOLSTERS chipmunk, like the other
members of his family is not wide
ranger. Usually he finds an abundance
of food to meet his needs. He loves
sunny glades, where a boulder or two
have been left. Here he takes his
sun baths and often his meals, for he
loves the sun and is really a SUM-
worshiper. When 1t begins to get
cool he has already made wise pro-
vision for the winter and will go into
coy and hidden quarters underground
until the sun Is warm again. Chip
munks are charter members OF the
Famous Seven Sleepers' Club.
Seeds of the wild plants are gath
cred and placed in their bins. nuts
are cached in pockets made IN the
soft ground. Whether the planter
forgets some of the many nuts he
hides, we do not know. But we do
know they are buried at the right
depth and in the right position for
growing, if they are forgotten. Thus
many trees have been planted by the
chipmunks, who are, in fact, con-
servationists.
During the winter the nut hunter
sleeps curled up in snug little ball,
his sensitive nose tucked into his deep,
soft, furry coat. What time OF the
spring he awakes from his deep slum-
bers we do not know. Unlike the
other members of his club. this fellow
does not return to the sunlight thin
and lacking in pep That would indi-
cate he has kept within reach of his
well-filled larder and did not permit
his body to become too emaciated and
weakened.
The babies are born without hair
to their wrinkled pink backs. They
are blind and helpless and have nc
shape to boast about. Not until they
have on their fur coats do the mark
tngs appear. There Is nothing to show
the father takes any responsibility for
his children or wife. The babies are
not permitted to come out of their
protected nursery until they are half
grown In the North this will be about
the latter part of May. Even then
they are rather shy and do not &c
far from home or mother.
Chipmunks are sociable little fellows
They are much given to singing in
the spring and they sound like birds
tuning up for q fine concert.
Their enemies are many. Hawks,
veasels, cats, snakes and foxes cause
them much pain and anguish when
their presence is known. If the chip
munk can reach his underground pas
sages he usually can outwit even his
arch Toe, the weasel.
To see one Of the brightly-clad
gnomes Of the woods sitting upon q
stump and making his famous "chock

Although an electric meter is

check all meters to insure correct
readings.
Due to the great ranges of tenn
