BEDTIME STORIES Danny Suspects. When eversthing seems most auspicious *Tis well to be a bit suspicious. ~-Danny Meadow Mouse. Danny Meadow Mouse and Nanny Meadow Mouse were fat. Yes, sir, they were fat. Nanny insisted that Danny was gett] roly poly. Danny indignant- ly denled it, but there was no denying the fact that his little gray coat was| @ tight fit. Other little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest might be hungry, but Danny and Nanny had plenty to eat. To begin with, they had been very DANNY MEADOW MOUSE AND NANNY MEADOW MOUSE ARE| FAT. | industrious all through the Fall and they had laid away @ supply of food | for use when other food could not be obtained. But so far there had been no difficulty in obtaining other food. They liked the snow which covered the Green Meadows. The deeper it was, the better they liked it. It put an end to a lot of their worries. You see, they felt very safe down there under the| snow. All they had to do was to make little tunnels close to the ground and then they could go and come as they El(’ased without running the risk of | eing seen by sharp-eyed enemies. Then whenever they felt like going up to the surface, all they had to do was to climb some stout weed, making a little hole up the side of it as they climbed. When they reached the sur- face of the snow, they were where they could get all the weed seeds they wanted. You know certain weeds keep their seeds all Winter, or at least well | other Meadow Mouse. | that Reddy had not caught him and BY THORNTON W. BURGESS ground, the seeds of these tall weeds are hard for a Meadow Mouse to fil. But when the snow is deep, all he to do is to help himself to those seeds right from the surface of the snow. It was on this -cco\m’ . t that Danny and Nanny were so fat. Nov’l’, don't get the idea that Danny and Nanny were perfectly safe. None of the littie people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows is ever wholly safe. When Danny and Nanny were hidden from the sharp eyes of Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyoie, the sharp ears of these two could sometimes hear them down under the snow. Then there would be furious digging on the ! part of Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote. So Danny and Nanny had to be sure hat there were always little tunnels to dodge aside in; and of course when they ventured to the surface of the snow, there was always danger that Roughleg the Hawk by day, and Hooty the Owl by night, might see them. But on the whole they were safer and more , comfortable than at any other | time of year. | It happened that one day Danny climbed up to the surface. He climbed up a big weed and when he reached the surface he was well hidden by that | weed. Of course, he was very careful. | He just poked enough of his head | above the surface for a look around, | to be sure that no enemy was wateh- | ing for him. Then, very cautiously, he crept out. Now, only a little way from him was a place where Reddy Fox had dug in the snow, trying to catch an- Danny looked over at this place and chuckled as he v that another Meadow Mouse was over in that very place. That meant he had returned after Reddy had left. But even as Danny watched, Rough- Jeg the Hawk shot down and that Meadow Mouse Wwas caught. Danny, dodged back out of sight. When he at | last ventured to peep out again, Rough- leg was back on the lone tree which | was his watch tower. Thinking of what | had happened, Danny forgot that he had come up to get something to eat. For a long time he watched Rough- leg. At last Roughleg flew and once more he swooved down at one of the places Reddv Fox had been digging in the snow. For the first time, Danny be- gan to suspect that Roughleg was work- ing with a plan. “I do believe,” said Danny to him- self, “that old Roughleg has discov- ered that Reddy Fox digs only where; there are Meadow Mice, and so he'is watching the places where Reddy digs. I must tell Nanny and we'll keep away | from those places.” (Copyrizht. 1929.) into the Winter. With no snow on the LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

And I quick went in the frunt room and sat down and waited for her to come down, wich pritty soon she did, *® Jooking all around till she saw me on the sofer with pops hat and overcoat on, saying, Now izzent this provoking, here I was in the midst of my accounis and now Il haff to start all over agen.

When one is il he shouldn't strive to walk six miles or even five, nor wear out costly shoes; but let him find a cushioned nook, ‘where, with @ stogie and & book, he may in comfort snooze.” There are 12 doctors in our d, and I, at times, when feeling bad, have patronized them all; they always look me up and down and hand me out some bitters brown and pellets large or small. And then they tell me, looking wise, “You need much wholesome exercise, your slug- gishness is vile; go walk eight miles ©| who wouldn't tell a man to walk, but and hale, I have to climb the hills, and walk around the fens and brakes, along the margin of the lakes, and by the babbling rills. I have to walk away the fat, I have to be an acrobat, and do a gymnast's chore; I have to drag' my aching bones along the highway's | clods and stones, if I'd be well once more. And so I wish there were a doc who would kindly say: “Go find a ham- in the shade and mock drink three quarts of lemonade and rest yourself all day.” ‘WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1920.)

Speculative stocks will double your money if you will believe the exhorta- tions of glib stock salesmen of a certain type. Most of us will not, and we understand that the doubling of onme’s money requires more perservance and patience than luck. If you have money saved in any form you may readily double that money by reipvesting dividends, or interest, or Figures talk sometimes as nothing else will. Over a period of 30 odd years, if you have saved a fixed sum each month, our total savings will consist by more than half of interest. For example, if you start to save money st the age of 30, and wish to have $15,000.00 when you reach 60, you need only save about $18.00 a month. This totals about $215 a year. In 30 vears at that rate, without interest, one O SINCERE. \S MORTIMER MUSHBY IN HIS ASSERTION THAT HE HAS SoLD THE For THE ARRWAL OF MUSHBY.S Creck FROM.

But by reinvesting the interest one would have $15,000 in the same period. ‘The time in which money will double itself depends of course on the rate of interest which is paid. If your money draws 5 per cent it will double in 14 years if reinvested, at G per cent it will double in 13 years, at 7 per cent it will double in 10 years, and so on. If the interest is not reinvested it will take at the aboyve rates six, five, and four years longer to double one's money. This undoubtedly will sound attrac- tive to woman savers. It may not have the allure of the blue sky stock, but it is a safe and sure way to double one’s money. One may reinvest one's interest by depositing in a bank that pays com- pound interest. We may reinvest in- terest by buying securities with each payment of interest or dividends. We NOPE! NO AH!

Dften misspelled: Peel (skin), peal (loud sound). Synonyms: Sad, defected, depressed, despondent, disconsolate, distressed, un- happy, downcast, melancholy. ‘Word study: “Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let us increase our vocabul%w mastering one word each day. Today’s word: Convey; to carry; transmit. “I appreciate the high com- pliment conveyed.” may reinvest interest by “salting away” stock dividends, bonuses, and the like, Many fortunes have been built on this principle of safe and sound sav- ing. “Nothing ventured nothing gained,” is 2 maxim which does not apply here. THIS I WOULDNT STAND FOR IT HR. MUSHDY' INSECT POWDER ~ DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. .D. Mrs. W—If there is nothing or- ganically wrong with you, you are un- |t derweight because you do not eat ough for your needs, just as the over- weighter is suffering because he eats too much for his needs. You must rest more and eat more. You can also add to your calories by taking cod liver oil, and if you can- not take this take one of the malt and cod liver ofl mixtures. You will have to take more of this because it is only half oil. Begin with small doses—say, one-half teaspoonful before meals—and increase until you are taking two ta- blespoonfuls a day. Gradually add a little more food to each of your meals. Add nuts, milk, cream and more egg yolks to your diet, and continue the green vegetables and fruits that you like, but be sure to get more concentrated foods. Eat five or six meals a day instead of three. You may experience a little distress at first until your stomach has stretched a little. Nl WHAT wouLd Y You Do SIR? CoueeT ™ (Jave you had & physical examina- i ‘Whiteheads. H.—Whiteheads (technical name mi- laria) are formed of the same material 8s blackheads—that is, sebum, or the oil secretion in the oil glands of the skin. However, with the whiteheads the outlet to the gland has grown over, and therefore the sebum cannot be squeezed out as can blackheads, nor do they ac- cumulate dust. It is not known why these little glands should have no out- lets. There is no relief for whiteheads except to prick the skin over them, after they have been washed thoroughly with soap and water, with a sterilized needle and ‘then gently squeeze out the con- tents. You can sterilize a needle by running it through a flame two or three times. Skin specialists might use certain rays to prevent their formation, but no one but a qualified physician should use these rays, for they may cause trouble.
