Rabbit had jumped right, over it without noticing it. . “No, it isn’t in such a bad place after all,” he repeated. Then he scampered a short distance along the old stone wall, disappeared down between the stones, peeped out to make sure no one saw him, and then scurried through the grass over to the path between.the trees of the Old Orchard and the old wall and popped through his new doorway. H was sure no one had seen him, and he ‘chuckled all the way'to his bed- room. “If any one was watching me they saw me go down between the stones of the old wall and of course they will be sure that my doorway Is somewhere, down there,” thought he. “If you suspect you may be watched or followed never go directly to a place.” Oh, Striped Chipmunk is smart! 4 Not long afterward Farmer Brown's Boy came over to see what damage had been done by the great storm. He spent some time looking at the maple tree which had been struck by lightning. He put back some of the big stones which had been knpcked from the old wall. He discovered that two or three had been buried in the ground and he was greatly in- terested. . “Lightning does _queer things, sald he, talking aloud. “I'm thankful I wasn’t under this tree when it was struck. No one can ever guess where it will strike, but it strikes trees more often than anything else, and you'll never catch me under one in a thunderstorm.” . 3 Farmer Brown's Boy was still thinking of the lightning when he stepped out into the path. Just in front of him in the middle of the path Lwas a little round hole. He stopped to look at it. . “That is queer,” said he. “I'm sure that hole wasn't here, the last time I :n'us along here.” 1 wonder who made t. He stooped over to look at it more closely. “Now how could a hole be dug_ and there be no sand around?’ he demanded of no one in particular. “There isn’t a grain of sand around this hole, not a gian.” A sudden idea popped -into his head: “I wonder.% said he, looking over at the mapie tree which the lightning had struck, “if that lightning made this little hole too. It does funny things and ‘wouldn’'t wonder if it did this. An way we can’'t have a hole in the mid- dle of the path. Water would run in and wash it bigger and there would soon be a bad place in the path. I'll fill it up. Yes, sir, lightning does do funny things.” He went over to the place where the lightning had torn a hole in the ground and partly buried two or three stones from the old wall and filled his cupped hands with sand and small pebbles. These he took back and put in the little hole in the path. He had to make a number of trips before the hole was filled. Then he stamped it all down firmly and went on his way whistling merrily. g And once more Striped Chipmunk was a prisoner in his own home, though he didn’t know it. (Coprright, 1921, by T. W.

(Helen c.c) ; Dandruff is practically impossible to _cure, though generally it may be relieved, while. the victim persists in the unhygienic custom of wearing headgear that excludes sunlight and air from. the scalp. And very few of us can muster the moral courage to discard hats from our wardrobes. The evidence seems to show that the disease conditions which physi- cians call seborrhea (increased oily secretion) of the scalp is of bacterial origin. When the oily secretion is thick and scaly, it is called seborrhea siccd, or.dandruff. Lassar. a noted European skin specialist, found that dandruff scales from the human head. could be - mixed' with vaséline and rubbed into the-back of a rabbit and the rabbit would develop seborrhea sicca. There is every reason to be- lieve that dandruff is- communicated from' one person to another by the barber, the hairdresser, the common hair.brush (which still prevails even in some modern. hotels), and by the hat bands in hat stores where cus- tomers try on numerous offerings be- fore selecting ome.

CO. ELECTRIC 719 9th St. N.W. Distributors . You hear a lot about freedom and oppression these days, great talks of slaves and tyrants. To hear ’em talk you'd think that freedom was the one thing most folks battle for con- tinuously. Well, maybe they do— maybe! But I've my doubts. I'l} ad- mit there are lots of slaves lying around. Those little flapper wives —yes, they're slaves. And Edward down at the office who “néver ha: no luck,” he's a slave, too.

I think . thaf most ‘slaves simply dote on their shackles 3 Yes, they do. They wouldn't really accept freedom if you offered ‘em a bonus with it. They like to be bound down. They want to be bossed. They wouldn't thank any Abe Lincoln to come around and bust up their slavery. And why? avery is a snap and freedom im- plies a lot of unwelcome responsibility and hard work. You have to make your own de- cisions when you're free. You have to keep your temper and hold your tongue and acquire a backbone—be- cause you yourself will be the loser if you don’'t. You've got to shodlder the blame for your own mistakes— fight your own fights—hustle for your own joy and strength and keep your whining to yourself. Are those easy jobs? They are mnot. It's ever 80 much easier to ‘pass the buck and blame it on the other fellow. And the best proof of it all is just this—no one needs to be a slave a minute more than he or she wishes to be. The day you're ready to stand the gaft of freedom it's yours. For the only chaine that can ever bind you down you forge yourself of your own con- science, lasiness and lack of spine. HOME ECONOMICS. . BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT. Fuel From Animal Sources. s incloned, Besides the protein fat and carbo- hydrate of the vegetable world, man yses these same energy producing substances as supplied by the animal world. Animals, eating plants, have worked over the protein, fat and car- bohydrate of their plant food in the living cells of their bodies into ani- mal protein, derived from * vegetable protein; animal fat, derived from vegetable carbohydrate or fat, and animal carbohydrate, derived from any of the three vegetable substances, but chiefly 'from vegetable carbo- hydfate. In his animal food man gets protein from milk and its products, lean meat,. fish.and eggs. He gets very little carbohydrate except from milk, though scallops, oysters and clams yleld a certain amount. Fat he gets from meat and fish, from milk and its prod- ucts, especially butter and cheese, and from the yolks of eggs. Milk is the ani- mal food that gives all three in consid- erable omounts. ;i ‘hen we consider the immense varlety of foods eaten civilized man, the complicated cesses of preparation through whith many of them pass before man eats them, and finally the delicate complexity of the machine by which man assimilates them, of the difficulty that confronts the student of diet, and we must admire the patient intelligence which has been brought to bear on it.
