lack of proper food and neglect

Does your ball of knitting
yarn insist on running away?
Put ball of yarn in a small
box with a tightly fitting lid
that has a small hole cut in it.
Pull the end of the yarn
through the hole after the
cover is in place. Your yarn
will pull out easily and will be
clean and free of tangles.
Milk scorches easily, so heat
it in a double boiler or warm it
over low heat in pan set on an
asbestos mat. To help keep the
milk from sticking to the sides,
rinse the pan in cold water be-
fore heating.
Never use a sharp instrument
to loosen the ice trays in your
refrigerator; you might pune
ture the coils. Take a dull in
strument and use it as a wedge
under the rim. When you re-
place the trays, wipe them with
a cloth. It's the freezing of the
excess water that makes trays
stick.

made that do not satisfy the ma
jority? PERPLEXED WOMAN.
Fashions used to be set
by Paris. Now an effort is being
made to establish this country as
the style center of the world. AS to
who originates them, heaven only
knows. When you look at the mod
ern hat you are convinced that it is
the brainchild of an alcoholic in the
throeS of delerium tremens, seeing
pink elephants and things.
Why women follow fashion
blindly when they know it turns
them into figures of fun. is a mys-
terry no one can explain They
just do it as if they were under
compulsion and had no volition in
the matter
Hence we are daily confronted
with the spectacle of knock -kneed
and bandy-legged women. whose
mlSfortunes no one would know if
they were decently covered up, wear
ing knee-length skirts that expose
their faulty underpinnings to the
world.
We see women who are living
skeletons in decollete gowns that
turn a spotlight on their bones. and
fat women Waddling around in
Klassy Kut Kollege sport suits that
add tons TO their weight. And why
they do it when there are mirrors
on every corner is past all guessing
Their excuse is that it is the
style, and they never seem TO think
that it would be possible to rebel
against it and wear what is becom-
ing to them and suitable for them.
and thereby make the best of them
selves instead of the worst.
So, lady, if you and your friends
look better in full and flared skirts
than you do in straight ones, why
don't you stick to them and thereby
set style? Don't say you can't DO
it, because you can.
If the women in any community
refused to buy freak hats and unbe-
coming gowns. the manufacturers
would soon enough make for them
the kind of things they wanted.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

When the snow is deep, Peter
Rabbit really has to work for a
living. Perhaps this is a good
thing. If he didn't he might grow
too fat to keep out of the way of
Reddy Fox. There are times when
Peter has to eat whatever he can,
and very often there isn't much of
anything for him but the bark of
young trees. 1t is at such times
that Peter gets into mischief. for
there is no bark he likes better than
that of young fruit trees.
Now you know what happens
when the bark is taken off all the
way around the trunk of a tree.
That tree dies. 1t dies for the SIM
pie reason that it is up the inner
layer of bark that the life-giving
sap travels in the spring and sum-
mer. OF course, when a strip of
bark has been taken off all the way
around near the base of tree the
sap cannot go up and the tree must
die.
Not far from the Old Orchard,
Farmer Brown had set out young
orchard. Peter knew all about that
young orchard, for he had visited
it many times in summer. Then
there had been plenty of green
clover and other green things to
eat, and Peter had never been so
much as tempted to sample the
bark of those young trees. But now
things were very different, and it
was seldom that Peter knew what
it was to have full stomach. He
kept thinking of that young or
chard. He knew that If he were
wise he would keep away from
there. But the more he thought
of it the more it seemed to him
that he just must have some of
that tender young bark. So just
at dusk one evening Peter started
for the young orchard.
He got there in safety and his
eyes sparkled as he hoped over
to the nearest young tree. But
when he reached it Peter had a
dreadful disappointment. All
around the trunk Of that young tree
was wire netting. Peter couldn't
get even a nibble Of that bark. He
tried the next tree with no better
results. Then he hurried from
tree to tree, but not taste Of bark
could be get. You see, Farmer
Brown knew all about Peters liking
for the bark of young trees, and he
had been wise enough to protect
his young fruit trees.
Peter didn't give up until he had
visited every tree. Then, too dis
appointed for words, he turned and
hoped hpperty- -lipperty-lip over to
the Old Orchard. AS he passed a
certain big apple tree he was start
led by a voice.
Whats the matter, Peter?" said
the voice. You don't look happy"
