Yes, sir, there is. Peter ‘knew what he was talking about when he said that. It is fine to have favors done for one, but it is finer still to do favors for others, especially for those who have done favors for you. | Now Jerry Mushrat had done the 1 greatest favor one person can do an- other; he had saved Peter Rabbit's life. At least, he had made it possi- ble for Peter to save his own life b telling him of the enly hiding-place anywhere near the Smiling Pool in which he would be safe from Old AT 1 P ST PETE ; : K HIS NOSE OUTSIDE.

For some time he sat without moving, just his nose out- side that hole. All the time he was listening with all his might for the least suspicious sound. At last he glance around hastily. The way was clear. Peter came wholly out and sat up in the middle of that little clump of alders. The first thing he did was to look over to the little open place where the Laughing Brook entered the Smilisg Pool and the water had not frozen. He was looking for Jerr. But Jerry wasn't to be seen. Then Peter looked over to the mound of white, which was the snow-covered roof of Jerry's house. It looked jusy as it did when he visited it—that i it was all white. Yet somehow there as something about it not quite famtliar. Peter-stared very hard. It looked to him as if now there was a little white post right on the very top. and there was nothing of that kind there when he was there. He was still puzzling about this when a faint splash drew his atten- tion to the open water. There was Jerry Muskrat climbing out on the ice with another piece of lily root He climbed out and sat down with his back toward his house and at once began to at that root. Peter was just on the point of | hopping out of that alder clump when { he happened to look again at Jerry's | house. ~He was just in time to see | that thing that “had looked like a 1whm» DOSt spread great broad wings i ! and sail out straight toward Jerry Muskrat.

That was all he could do. Peter thumped. Without stant's pause Jerry dived into the water. He was just-in time. Peter had paid his debt. (Copyright, 1922, by T. W. Burgess.) HOME ECONGMICS.

D. | The Fate of a Drink of Water. Water constitutes two-thirds of | the weight of the body. It enters info the composition of every tissue in the body, including bone. Bone ma- terial is two-fifths water; muscle is three-fourths water; brain substance is nine-tenths water. Write your own joke on this. | Everybody, except only the invalid who ph cian gives contr: 3 tructions, should drink one to three glasses of water with each meal as {an aid to mormal digestion. This is the teaching of physiology, which frankly reverses the ancient theory i that water should not be taken with 1food, Another curious relic of an- tiquit that has been reversed by {modern science—knowledge—was the notion that one with fever or one suffering with the heat must take no jcold water. He should take all the { cool water his thirst calls for—cool { enough to satisfy, not ice cold. ! Cold water is a natdral stimulant in | | the sccretion of gastric juice in the | | stomach. The water ‘itself soon |leaves the stomach, whether food is { present or not, but the effect of the i stimulation continues, and _digestion {is improved. The water passes from | the stomach into the intestine some {ten or fifteen minutes after it has {been swallowed. In the-intestine it { has a further stimulating effect on the i secretion of pancreatic juice, and it !Nmtribules toward the absorption of digested material there. Further- [ the presence of a fair amount iof wgtér stimulates peristalsis, or on-'| ward®movement of the material in the food tube. The water is absorbed from the in- testine 'by the capillaries or micro- scopic vessels in the wall of the in- testine and thus directly enters into the circulation. curs in This absorption oc- part in the small’ and in part in the large intestine. Little else than water is absorbed into the blood from the large intes- tine. No one need worry about what may be absorbed from the colon; let every one drink not less than twoj quarts of water d#ily and make sura of absorbing therefrom one good, all- around tonic. A‘great many people have learned by experience the salubrity of a gen- erous drink of hot water on rising each morning, a habit especially to be commended to elderly persons of | spare build. Stout and younger per- sons had better take their internal morning shower cool or cold. me of the water absorbed into the circulation is retained in _the vari- ous tissues, replacing the water set free by the oxidation of those tissues in the ordinary course of metabolism, | or life. Most of the water is imme- idiately eliminated through the lungs intestine as water vapor in che expired air, through the skin as the water of pera-g pirration, through the kidneys and | |throuzh the intestine.

To miss this popularity is a tragedy. Yet many girls are socially unsuccessful because of some lack in charm, ¥ What constitutes this charm is hard to define—but one thing is cer- tain. The popular girl; the success- ful girl, the gay, happy, all-admired girl, is always distinguished by a fresh, radiant skin. How to have this perfect com- plexion is the problem of many girls, but we can solve it for you. It's a simple secret, discovered many thou- sand years ago. ‘What spoils complexions Every day your skin accumulates a coating of dust, dirt and general soil. Every day you apply powder, and every day most women use a little or much cold cream. This dirt, powder and cold cream penetrates the tiny skin pores and fills them. Perspiration completes the clogging, You can judge for yourself what happens if you fail to wash these accumulations away. Once a day your skin needs care- ful, thorough cleansing to remove these clogging deposits. Otherwise youwill soon be afflicted with coarse- ness, blackheads and blotches. How soap beautifies Mild, pure, soothing soap, such as Palm- " olive, is a simple yet certain beautifier. Its profuse, creamy lather penetrates the network of skin pores and’ dissolves all dangerous deposits. Gentle rinsing carries them away. The Happiest Time of Her Life When your s s cleansed, it quickly responds with fresh, smooth radi~ ance. The healthful stimulation results in natural becoming color. And the lotion- like qualities of the Palmolive lather keeps your complexion delightfully soft. Now, when your skin is healthfully clean, is the time to apply cold cream. Now, powder and that touch of rouge are harmless. You can pericct your good complexion and beautify one not so good by the means of this simple cosmetic cleansing. Cleopatra’s way With all classic peoples, bathing was a daily rite never neglected. The ruins of Cleopatra’s. sumptuous marble bath are ample proof of her faith in this ancient beauty secret. Palm and olive oils were the cleansers used—the same bland oriental oils we blend scientifically in Palmolive. The lo- tion-likg qualities which made them the most highly prized of all old world beau- tifiers are imparted to Palmolive Soap. A 10-cent luxury The vast volume in which we produce Palmolive to supply the world-wide de- mand natyrally lowers cost. If made in small quantities the price would be at least 25 cents. Manufacturing economy permits us to offer this finest facial soap for only 10 cents. Thus you can afford to share Cleo- patra’s_favorite luxury. Use Palmolive for bathing and let it do for your body what it does for your face. THE PALMOLIVE COMPANY, Milwagkee, U. S. A. Volume and efficiency _~.
