Farmer Browns Boy.
"Ye-e-s, I guess I would" admitted
Mr.. Jones honestly If reluctantly.
"Well, that Owl was starving and he
did nothing but what you or would
have done under the same circum-
stances, and he probably did what we
would have done-tried everywhere
else to get meal before visiting your
henyard. That Owl tsn't stupid. He
knows there is danger for him around

Forest. He knows nothing about any

FARMER JONES had lost fine fat
pullet. He had seen Hooty the
Owl carry it off from his henyard late
IN the afternoon. Hooty had flown
in the direction of the Green Forest
on Farmer Browns farm. So the next
morning Farmer Jones had taken
his gun and gone to his neighbor's
intending to hunt for Hooty in the
Green Forest. He was angry, was

Young and mature, in figure or in years, find equal flattery in this Shirtwaist dress. It is one of Claire Tilden's own favorite designs, for Pattern 556 can be so readily adapt ed into either house dress, sport frock or more formal style. It's ideal as a uniform, too. If you are looking for flattery through the bust, you'll find it in that interest ing, diagonal line of the bodice. And if you want to achieve the effect of greater height, that center seam and pleat will do the trick. Choose the comfortable short sleeve for all the casual, daytime versions, but make the dress with long sleeves if you want it for travelling or trips to the city. Detailed Sewing Guide accom- panieS this pattern.
 Pattern 556 Is cut in misses and women's sizes 16, 18. 20, 34, 36, 38, 70, A, A and 46. Size 16 requires 4 yards 36 inch fabric.

"Wake up, Jack, and forget that bad dream" Helen's saying.
 But should Jack forget it when it troubles him so often? He's caught in a rain storm with two enormous wedding cakes in his arms. He feels he must keep them both dry, but he can get only one under his coat at time.
 A psychologist would say this dream represented conflict of loy- alties. In Jacks case, one of the wedding cakes represents Helen, his fiancee; the other, his job. Though he's deeply in love, he's uncon- sciously afraid that marriage now will prove an obstacle to business success. But If he and Helen under stood dream language, they might work out happy solution Together.
 Many dreams contain clues to personal problems. To struggle with a bolted door means you secretly feel unequal to life. To dream you can't speak suggests you depend too much on others.

Glorifying Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Along about this time of year every type of skin needs some kind of pick-me-up. It may be a new preparation, or it may be an old, well-known one, but, whatever it is, it should be something that IS likely to remedy a specific defect, tone the skin generally-in other words, give 1t lift of spring and rid 1t of the marks that winter left.
 For the dry-skinned woman and for anyone who doesn't like mask which hardens on her skin, there's 8 new soft cream mask. Heavier than any night cream you ever have seen, this is to be applied after a thorough cleansing, left on for 20 minutes of half an hour. It brings up circulation (you can feel your cheeks become warm and tingling) and, instead of having slightly drying effect, leaves the skin moist and smooth. Wonderful for fine lines and wrinkles that steam-heat- ed rooms and cold winds have put around eyes and mouth.
 One of the oldest and best known non--liquifying cleansing creams now comes in an attractive, pale pink plastic jar. The jar is decora- tive on a dressing table. The cream, as it always has been. is more pop ular with dry-skinned women than light, liquifying cleansers.
 Cleansing pads in small compacts are something girls with oily skins are finding to their liking these days. Several firms are making pads O. this type, they are not expensive and neatly solve all cleaning your face-during-the-day problems.
 One manufacturer features small kit containing plastic com- pact that holds 12 pads, a large container of extra pads and bottle of cleansing lotion with which to moisten them. The refilling job is easy. Simply pour teaspoonful of cleansing lotion in the compact, put in . dozen pads. press down on the top one until all are saturated.

Seek Cause of Misdeeds
 Before Furnishing Child

pride. Often children behave abominably when they fail. Some times cratic behavior comes from failure to make friends. Our boy likes Bill, but Bill doesn't like him. Victor will play with him, but he treats Victor disgracefully.
 All these things, and many more, produce unfortunate conduct. We expect children to be more perfect than we are ourselves, but they re- act no more unworthily than we would if we were held inescapably in wise.
 So in this matter of punishment, parents, I should keep 8 weather eye open and try to get at req sons rather than to pile punish ment on punishment. It is best to help the child with his hidden trou- bles, at which we have to guess very often, for he won't tell.
 However, all children have to learn that mistakes bring retrib- ution. It is one of the first laws of nature. Mistakes are not l. ways innocent. But even when they are, it is really a protection to the child to know that he must abide by the consequences of his own actions.
 Denial Also Furnishes
 He has to learn to live with other people who have opinions and rights of their own. He must learn to give way and take some opposition as it comes. He must learn right for rights sake, too.
 Denial is a splendid method of met out the displeasure of the gods. Not too much scolding. It gets to be useless bore. Spank ing leave to you. I believe there are occasions when it brings the back to the line. I don't recommend it often, but I defer to you, good parent, when you think it the very best answer there is.

There are but three degrees of mur- der recognized by the law, and none of them quite fulfills the require ments under these circumstances. I have endeavored to salve my con- science with the excuse that, al% though it is unwarranted for the mere visitor or friend, the attend ing physician of course has to keep informed on the condition of the patient. But that's no good, for no matter how faint the spark of life becomes I can't help thinking that if the doctor were any good at all he ought to be able to see without asking just what progress the pa- tient is making-and this doesn't help the ache in my conscience.
 This recent cri (short for Com- mon Respiratory Infection, pro nounced kree) was a StreptococcuS infection It was epidemic. The Streptococcus is notorious for viru- lence and for it's capaciy for work reaction in the body and hence without inducing enough natural immunity to afford reasonable pro- l lection against subsequent attacks. That is why it was the worst cri I have ever had; incidentally it was the first cri have had for many | years. Whether my experience means anything, don't know, but I believe it pays to keep ever in mind the fact that CRI spreads or dinarily via conversational spray and the effective range of such spray is less than five feet, no mat ter whether the specific infection proves to be measles, scarlet fever, pneumonia, bronchitis, diphtheria, whooping cough, infantile paralysis, acute Sinusitis, acute coryza or what not. Nobody can tell until the vic- tim has passed the stage of incuba- tion. Meanwhile, if the victim takes seriously the teachings of the graft CTS holding public health berths, he can share his incubating illness with as many others as happen to come within his conversational spray range. That Is how epidemics occur. The Golden Rule is fine rule in intercourse between nations, and a fine rule in hygiene-for the other fellow to follow.
 Sun Bathing
 | It is our experience that sun bath ing. complete, leaves one tired and in need of considerable rest after 1t. What is the explanation for this? (R.H.H. and CH.H0
 Answer-Perhaps too long ex- posture. Failure to cover eyes with black mask or dark bandage and protect them from glare. Keep some fresh fruit beverage at hand and take it in the course of the bath.
 Myasthenia Gravis
 You wrote about myasthenia gravis and described my condition exactly-upper eyelids so tired can hardly hold my eyes open, and 1t is a gerat effort to smile. Have clip ped your article to show my doctor. Please tell me what dose of prostig- mine is used? (MrS. D.S)
 Answer-Hypoderm doses of l. Tooth grain are used-such dose gives relief for four or five hours. Doses much larger-1-4 grain to 1-2 grain-by mouth have same effect. First dose should be given by doc tor, and subsequent dosage adjusted by him according to effects. It is not cure, only a palliative or tempor- ary relief.

KEEP FAR FROM ME I HAVE
 THE CRI
 Early this winter had the Cri. It was the worst that ever cursed. I don't know what it was but I know it made me curl up and go into a coma one day. They tell me I'm the worlds worst patient, just because I fail to wax enthusiastic about describing my symptoms and comparing notes on prognosis and trying the remedies suggested by every one who happens to discover I'm out of commission. Now when I'm feeling 8 bit qualmish all in the world I ask of only one who cares at all is to be let alone. Please, please, don't ask how I'm feeling now. I'm feeling worse than you can possibly imagine, for I suffer not only the physical distress that accompanies the indiSposition, what ever it may be, but also a dreadful burden on my conscience, for keep thinking of the hundreds and may be thousands of times I have ruth leSsly aroused a wretch from his blessed lethargy to inquire Well, old man, how are you feeling now?"
