Spice of Health

During the Middle ages it was as drugs rather than flavoring mediums that spices were used, and as such were commercially of great value. They were also prized because of their aroma which enumerated the evil smells prevalent, for disease was commonly supposed to be the out come of bad odors. Spices are a safeguard against disease, for now we know that they have a definite antiseptic value, says London Tit Bits Magazine. Oil of cloves, for instance, acts as an antiseptic even in as weak dilution as parts in 1000, cinnamon bark oil in a solu- ton of 4 parts in 1000, though car bolic acid ceases to have any anti septic value when 5.6 parts are mixed in 1000 of water.

Weather in a Teacup

Here is practical way of telling whether a day is going to be fine or wet. Drop a lump of sugar into cup of tea and watch the be- havior of the bubbles as they rise to the surface. If they appear as tiny drops hurrying to the side of the cup, there to disappear, then the day will be fine. Should the bub- bles grow large and float in the center of the cup for some time, then be sure rain is close at hand. The reason? A writer in Pearson S London Weekly answers: The be- havior of the bubbles is due to the pressure of the air. When this is high in fine weather-the bubbles burst quickly; when low, and rain is near, the bubbles remain intact for an appreciable time.

There's nothing so bad that it couldn't
 be worse,
 Is a saying as old as the hills.
 Just ask Peter Rabbit. he's proved that
 it's true.
 And he'll tell you a story of thrills. VOU see, Peter has thrills almost every day. He has grown so used to them that a day that didn't bring him at least one thrill, a real, shivery thrill, like reaching the dear Old Briar Patch only one jump ahead of Reddy Fox, would seem as if there was something wrong with it. But of all the thrills Peter has had perhaps the greatest was when he sat under the pile of brush in the Green Forest, while just out side were Reddy Fox, Granny Fox, Old Man Coyote. and Redtail the Hawk. There he was far from the dear, safe Old Briar Patch and waiting and watching were four of the hungriest and fercest of Peters enemies. It would have been bad enough to have had one waiting and watching, but here were four! Peter was in a tight place. Yes, sir, Peter Rabbit was in as tight place as ever he had been in all his life.
 But Peter isn't the kind to worry until he has to. He was so thankful to escape under the pile of brush

She was audaciOus with accessories. ground with chenille design in brown and rust
 When she put them on the twin loW-poster maple beds in her room the result was nothing to brag about. The walls were cream color and, with the brown and natural tones of both spreads and furniture, the whole effect was along toward dull. But Mrs. Martin was not to be stumped, so that bedroom turned out to be unusual, sedate, and a little on the masculine side-which, she claims, is as it should be since it is her husbands s room too. She chose a deep woodsy green for her rug, and painted the walls of the room a cool, light green as a com plement.
 At the four easement windows she placed draw-type curtains of brown linen edged with beige chenille A slipper chair she covered with a slip cover made out of an old bed spread which was simply covered with bands of chenille in natural beige. A pillow for the chair was covered with a hooked slip she made herself, copying the lovely bow-knot designs of the bedspreads in natural, brown and rust yarns.
 Accessories might have proved a problem if Mrs. Martin had not been audacious-for it occurred to her that there was no law that for bade her using brass in bedroom so her lamp bases are of brass. A little maple table beside the chair has a large brass tray for decora- tion and brass bowls on the window sills hold flowers and, in winter, small green plants.
 The whole effect is as pleasing as can be and as this smart lady says-"All because I bought foolish. ly but planned wiselyl"

BEDTIME STORY

that he didn't waste any time Wor- rying over how he was to get away from there. He just worked his way under the very thickest part of the brush and there he sat trying to get his breath, for he had lost it in that last hard run for safety with Reddy Fox at his heels. Granny Fox he hadn't seen at all, nor Old Man Coyote. It wasn't that he knew that they were around He had heard the swish of Redtairs wings just as he wriggled under the brush, and he knew what that meant, for he had heard it before.
 Presently Peter began to chuckle. You wouldn't suppose he could have found anything to chuckle about when he was in such a tight place, would you? But he did. The fact is, there was a quarrel going on outside that heap of brush, and Peter heard it. Reddy Fox was calling Redtail the Hawk all the bad names he could think of. and Gran- ny Fox was helping him.
 If it hadn't been for you I'd have caught him!" snarled Reddy.
 No such thing!" screamed Red tail. You weren't within two jumps of him. Besides, he didn't belong to you, anyway. I had just as much right to him as you had"

T tell you he's mine, and I'm going to have him." snarled Reddy.
 No such thing!" retorted Red tail. He belongs to the one who catches him, and that is going to be me-"
 Then Peter heard new voice. It was smooth and Peter knew it right away. It was the voice of Old Man Coyote. Peter stopped chuckling and listened as hard as ever he could, for he is more afraid of Old Man Coyote than of all three of the others together. He is very crafty and has an oily tongue. has Old Man Coyote.
 Friends" said he, and Peter pricked up his ears, for he knew that Reddy and Granny Fox hated Old Man Coyote. Friends, what is the use of quarreling over something none of us has got?" he asked. Peter Rabbit is safe now, but he can't stay in this brush pile forever. Let us think of plan to get him when he comes out Instead of fight ing, why not try a plan which will give one of us a good rabbit dinner"
 Reddy and Granny Fox looked at Old Man Coyote suspiciously, but as they were afraid of him anyway, and as they could see nothing to lose, they agreed. Redtail the Hawk thought it over and at last he agreed, too. And so a plan was made to catch poor Peter Rabbit.

According to legend, the 10-gallon hat was named because it was used as a water bucket and also to carry food. And at night, the cowboy even rested his weary head on his "10- gallon pillow" Although all the gallon" hats were pretty much the same size, they were called not only 1O-gallon. but also one, two and five gallon hats, varying with the imagination of the Western story writer.
