Farmer Brown's Boy, at work in the hayfield, heard in the distance the baying of Bowser the Hound. In fact, he had hear it when he first came out early that morning. He knew that voice. Of course. He would have known it among a thousand, for the voices of dogs are as different as the voices of human beings. . “The old scamp.” muttered Farmer Brown's Boy. “The old scamp. He sneaked off early this morning to visit that Fox den we found the other day and Reddy Fox was smart enough BROWN'S BOY ATE HIS HE ICel OF BOWSER CAME TO HIM FAINTLY FROM FAR IN THE GREEN FOREST. to give him a fresh trail before he got there and is leading him away. T hepe he will tire Bowser out so the old scamp will forget that den. If I Jcould get away I would head him off nd bring him home. But that hay must be taken care of. My, it is going to be a hot day if I know anything about it.” It was a hot day. It was one of the hottest days of the summer. Down in the hayfield Farmer Brown's Boy raked and pitched hay and whistled .

Noted Physician and Author - he worked, for that is the way of Farmer Brown's Boy. He says whis- tling helps. Once in a while he would stop for a moment’s rest. Then he would listen for the voice of Bowser the Hound. Sometimes it would be faint. That was when Bowsér was over in the Green Forest. Again it would be loud and clear. That was when he was up in the Old Pasture. As the morning wore on Farmer ! Brown's Boy's face wore a puzzled look. “I've listened and listened,” said {he to Farmer Brown, “but not once have I failed to hear Bowser baying. He doesn’t seem to have lost that trail once. There is something queer about that, for Reddy Fox can always mix his trail up 80 as to bother Bowser for a while. I never have known a fox to run like that, not even in the fall when the air is cool. I don’t see how that fox keeps going. I should think Bow- {ser would have run him to a hole by this time. If Bowser doesn't know enough to quit pretty “soon he'll kill himself running on such a hot day.” Noon passed. As Farmer Brown's Boy ate lunch the voice of Bowser came to him faintly from far over in the Green Forest. It seemed to him that that voice didn't sound as strong as it did early in the morning. And he could tell that Bowser was run- ning much slower than before. “That Fox is a wonder to Keep going like this,” muttered Farmer Brown's Boy. “I never have heard of a Fox making such a run. I don’t under- stand It. That dog ought to have sense enough to give up and come home. But that is Bowser all over. He'll run until he drops as long as there is a trail to follow. He doesn’t know the meaning of give up.” Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun poured down his hottest rays. The Merry Little Breezes appeared to have gone to sleep. Farmer Brown's Boy couldn’t remember ever having worked on a hotter afternoon. He no longer whistled. The fact is he was too worried to whistle. From time to time he could still hear Bowser’s voice, but it was no longer full and strong. In fact, it was little more than a series of yelps and these yelps came only at intervals. But by the sound of them Farmer Brown's Boy knew that Bowser was still run- ning. He knew that the periods of silence were not because of a lost trail, but because Bowser was too tired to use his voice oftener. “He'll kill himself, that dog will,” worried Farmer Brown's Boy. _“He'll keep running until he drops. I don't see how he st it as long as he has. And I don’t understand that Fox at all. I thought Bowser could outrun any Fox that ever lives (Copyright, 1921, by T. W.

Everybody knows what anhedonia is now, especially dyspeptics, and more especially those dyspeptics whose troubles are caused by splanchnopto- sis.

Nearly everybody ought tq know by this time that splanchnoptosis means dropping. falling, prolapse, sagging or just pto- sis of any of the in'ards. People with splanchnoptosis are generally experts in dyspepsia and indigestion, besides chronic constipation, autointoxication and all those vulgar ailments of the proletariat.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Extraordinary Exception. I swallow nearly everything you say. It is easler and pleasanter than taking pills. But I cannot agree with the teaching that hair should not be wet with water. I am sixty-two and proud of my hair. Every night it is brushed, braided in several braids and 1 sleep with my head toward the window, which is always open, and the air circulates freely around me, yet I never get coryza or sneezes or other cranium trouble. Why? (Miss A. L. some one showed it up for the pre-|A.) posterous bunkum that it is. Whether it be used as an explanation for marital unhappiness or social snob- bishness, it is poisonous piffie. Every married couple, every couple united in any sort of human endeavor, whatever their tastes or trainings may be, have acres of common ground between them. In fact, there is very jittle in human life that isn't common xround for every one. If you eat three squares a day, like puppies and babies, wear shirts, love your mother, sunburn easily, hate work, have gone fishing and lied -about it, played hookey or swiped jam, and enjoy your old shoes best, you have a ready-made community of interest that will serve you as a basis for the happliest part- nership—provided you use sense, humor, patience and are not too stuck on_yourself. For these common pleasures and de- sires are the real essentials of life. From them, and not from fads or fancles, spring the immortal miracles. From some man's hunger, from some Wwoman's love of her babies, comes the gold with which heaven -is paved. If you can’t find common ground in ;hese things, you'll be forever home- ess.

Answer—In advising against the frequent wetting of the hair in comb- ing or brushing it, I had in mind only the fact that water removes the nat- ural ofl of the hair. Of course, it is immaterial, so far as catching croyza or other respiratory disease may be concerned, for such diseases are caught from persons who have them or carry the germs, not from the air or a draft, as your question implies. Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good conditiom, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham- poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is Muisified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely grease- less) is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, ;J‘!hll can’t possjply injure the air. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it-in. One or two teaspoonfuls of ~ Mulsified will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses "the hair and scalp thoroughly. 'he lather rinses out easily and’ moves every particle of dust, di dandruff and excessive oil" The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, flufty and easy to manage. . You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It'is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last every one in the family for months.

Ltficient E¥kusele 3 ¥ Lesurs.A Serving the Season’s Vegetables. “Please tell me. how to serve the fresh vegetables from my garden in the most delicious ways,” writes a| reader of thig column. “We grow al- most every king of vegetable in our} garden.” Of course, the whole world knows that tender, young vegetables served only by themselves, without sauces, garnishes or “frills” of any kind, are about as delicious as they can pos- sibly be. Frequently the flavor of a young and tender vegetable is com- pletely spoiled by being combined with other foods or with strong sea- sonings. Yet there are many de- licious and more or less fancy ways of serving fresh vegetables which are very popular, some of which are the following: Spinach, Hotel St¥le—Wash and boil the spinach, as usual, in ralted water, then drain it and save the water. Chop it and add the following sauce: Fry one-fourth pound thinly sliced bacon and when done remove it from the {frying pan, not removing its hot fat. To this hot fat add two tablespoons of grated or finely chopped onion, then four tablcspoons of flour and two teaspoons of salt. Stir until well mixed, then add one cup of the water | in which the spinach w: let all boil for five min the volks of three hard-boiled eggs rubbed through a sieve and one todo 8poon of cither lemon juice or vinegar. Pour this over the hot, chopped spin- ach at once, and serve. Young Cabbage with | Sauce.—Cut the cabbage into removing the core, and pla Bechamel arters, ce it in drain, cover with boiling let boil uncovered for one-half hour— or until tender. Draip and put into a vegetable dish covered with the fol- lowing sauce: Put into a saucepan two tablespoons of flour, mix until smooth, and add slowly one cup of cold sweet milk; let heat boiling point, stirring constantly, then add salt, pepper and grated nutmeg to suit taste, and one hard-boiled egg. the volk of which has been rubbed through a sieve, and the white finely chopped. Turn this over the hot cal- bage in the tureen and serve at once. Tomatoes Supreme—Slice six medi- um-sized onions and shred two green peppers; cook these gently in three again ml FEATURE PAGE. until the onions are soft and almost done, then add one pint measure of fresh, sliced tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and let sim- mer for twenty minutes. Serve very hot. Baconed Tomatoes.—Select large, ripe | tomatoes and dip them for a moment | in boiling water by mears of a cheese cloth bag, then take out and plunge | into cold water; this will enable you to take off their skins. Place the skinned whole tomatoes on a baking | tin, each with a thin slice of bacon laid on top of it. Slip into a hot oven and let bake for twenty minutes, then serve at once on buttered toust. Baconed String Beans.—Cook tender young string beans in only just enough water to cover; when tender, serve mixed with the following sauce: | Cut two slices of uncooked bacon into tiny squares and place them over the ! firé in a hot minced onion; let fry until the bacon | bits are crisp and the onion a light | yellow, then stir in one cup of sweet cold milk and when at boiling point add one tablespoon of cornstarch which has been mixed to a paste with a little cold milk; stir until thick, sea- son to taste with salt and pepper, and serve at once with the begns. | Jellied Beef for Lunch. Strain one pint of cooked tomatoes. Bring to the boiling poigt and stir in one envelope of plain sfliuin, one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of vinegar and one-half teaspoonful of celery seed. Slice four hard-boiled eggs and chop enough cold beef to make one scant pint. When the jelly begins to harden, dip a mold into cold water, put a layer of jelly, then the eggs, meat, jelly and so on, until the mold is full. Set in a cool place until hard.
