Having found the trees he wanted for a food supply, Paddy returned to his home in the pond he had made in the Green Forest and told the good news to Mrs. Paddy and to his nearly grown children. “How near water are they?” was Mrs. Paddy’s first question.

The eyes of Mrs. | Paddy sparkled as she saw them. “My, these are nice trees!” said she, nibbling a bit of bark from one. “I don't think we ever have had finer trees.

The young Beavers were told that their father was going to look for a place to build a new dam and make & new pond, so as to be able to get plenty of food for next Winter. “Huh!” exclaimed one of the young | Beavers. “‘What fs the use of Worry. ahout next Winter now?" : | “Liv learn, my son.” replied vou older you 1sk such a silly question hen he led the way down | the Laughing Brook traveled slowly, for Paddy xamining the bank on both sides, aud often went some distance away from the water on either side. They had gone only a little distance when they came to a place that looked as if it was meant for a dam. It did so. There was plenty of material to build it of. It would not have to be very long in order to make a nice, deep pond. The work of bullding it would be easy. Mrs. Paddy ventured to say as much to Paddy.

Haste in the realm of food and dfet makes a particularly pernicious form of waste. This waste is a veritable Hydra, so many “heads” does it pos- sess! The first person to be affected by wasteful haste in the matter of food is the housewife, who purchases and prepares it. She goes to market or “‘phones for food,” according to her circumstances, but if she is “in a hurry” she loses a fine opportunity to think constructively as to what she buys and how much she spends for it. Waste No. 1! In cooking the food, if Mrs. House- wife “just throws things together’ the result is likely to prove most wasteful of all the family digestions, and this in turn leads to waste of thefr indlvidual and collective effi- ciency. So we might go on constructing a house-that-waste-buflt, and the chief guests at the board would be Worry, Discouragement and Inefficiency! 1t is of that particular form of haste, waste, as it affects the assimi- lation of food, that we are just now thinking. What happens in the body when food is, first, hastily selected: second, hastily’ swailowed; third, hastily ai- gested. in the sense that we hurl an-| other meal into a long-suffering_stom- ach still busily occupled with the las First, hasty selection.
