Now that food is so marvelously trans- ported from distances in _refrigerator cars, the kinds of foods obtainable at this ‘season are not so widely different BEDTIME STORIES Chatterer Doesn’t Like It. Who doth consider neighbors’ rights Avolds the chance of future figh —Old Mother Naiure. Yellow Wing the Flicker is an early Fiser. Yes, sir, he believes in getting up with the sun, as the saying is, and even a little before. He knows all about how the early bird catches the worm, but that isn't why he gets up so early. He gets up because he loves the hour when the Great World is just awaken- ing for the day, especially in Spring- .. ! Rlavy YELLOW WING CHUCELED. “COME OUT AND SEE MR. SUN RISE,” HE REPLIED. in the habit of watching jolly. round, bright Mr. Sun_ begin his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky. So, having found a drum just within the Green Forest, a dead limb well ses soned, which gave forth a clear, ring- ing sound that carired far when he drummed on it, he went to bed early in a snug hollow in another tree. It was the bed room he had used all the year before; one he had cut out him- gelf. The next morning he was up and out with the first light, before jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun had even peeped over the edge of the Great World. Most of the sleepers of the night before were still asleep. ‘The first thing he thought of was his new drum. “Can't stop for breakfast,” muttered Yellow Wing. “Breakfast can wait. I've just got to let the Great World know how I feel this beautiful morning. I'll just let a few sleepy-heads know that 1t is time to get up.” So he flew straight to his new drum, settled himself comfortably and beat ngtime Dishes WALKER. from those we have been enjoying dur- ing the Winter months. Once this was not so. It is important, today, to couple color with kind to supply the desirable Spring elements. Some dishes that suggest Spring in a picturesque way wer: given last Tuesday. Two more may be added. They suggest Springtime sports dear to children, who delight to spin tops and roll_hoops. Trundle Hoops. — Cook unbroken sticks of macaroni until they are tender and flexible. From the longest sticks form as many trundle hoops as there | | are persons to be served. The ends of | the hoops must b: held together with wooden toothpicks until the rings are | cold and “set.” Hoops on Lawn.—Fill a platter with freshly cooked hot green string beans. Edge the platter with hot macaroni. On top of the beans place the hoops. ! Just b>fore serving cross each hoop | with a thin strip of cheese to supply | the sticks for the hoops. The effect is of hoops thrown down on a lawn. For each helping serve beans topped with a hoop and stick. Serve the macaroni in another mound, and over it pour a hot tomato and cheese sauce. Spinning Tops.—Tops can be made from mashed potato. Use a very small | funnel for a mold, and press into it servings of potato. Press a sliver of carrot into each Wp-end to supply the spinning voint, amd a rounded bit of tbe carrot into the center of the op- posite end for the “button” top. Cut uncooked ‘young cabbage into thread- like shreds, to sugg>st the string needed to make the tops spin. Put the tops on the bed of “string” Mix a little | finely chopped young onion, green sweet | pepper and capers into mayonnoise and serve with this and you will have a | dainty potato salad. For colorful dishes, these qualify. For color alone for a dinner menu, serve carrots, beets and peas or green beans. Cut the beets into roses. Fresh/straw- barries make a gay Springtime dessert. Cocoa Pudding. Mix together four tablespoonfuls each | of white sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, self- | raising flour and water, with two table- spoonfuls of butter and four or five | drops of vanilla. Beat in two or three egss, according to size, and stir all until thick over the fire in & double boiler. Pour the pudding into & but- tered baking dish and let it remain in the oven until set. Cocoa Sponge—This is almost like cocoa pudding, but with small differ- ence. Separate the whites of the eggs from the yolks, beat the whites stiff and fold them in at the last minute. Cook this pudding in & much deeper dish and in & somewhat hotter oven than you use for the cocoa pudding. By Thornton W. Burgess. What do you mean by waking up your betters at this hour?” barked Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Yellow Wing chuckled. “Come out and see Mr. Sun rise,” he replied. Chatterer came out. He came out with a rush and started up that tree. “Get away! Get away!” he barked. “This is my tree and 1 won't have you making such a racket here. If you must drum do it where you won't dis- turb other people ‘The only answer was another long rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. Almost at once there was another rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat from over toward the Old Orchard. “Cousin Downy Woodpecker is up and out,” chuckled Yellow Wing, and again beat his long roll. By this time Chatterer had reached that dead limb on which Yellow Wing was drumming. He had quite lost his temper. “I'll teach you that other people have some rights!” he barked, and made & rush at Yellow Wing. Yellow Wing around to the underside of the limb. 1l drum where I pleave,” he retorted. “You don't own the Green Forest.” * Chatterer fairly shrieked, he was in such a rage. “I'll show you! I'll show you!” he kept repeating as he did his best to catch Yellow Wing, who kept dodging around the limb. After a bit Yellow Wing began to lose his temper. He had come to drum because the hap- piness within had to be expressed, and this was his way of doing it. The next time Chatterer rushed he wished he hadn’t. “Ouch!” he cried as Yellow Wing's long stout bill, his drumstick, 50 to speak, struck him. Then things changed. It was Chat- terer who did the dodging with Yellow Wing after him. Back off the limb Chatterer was chased and then came an exciting game of dodge around the trunk of the tree. Finally, Chatterer ran out to the tip of a branch, made a flying leap to the next tree, which was a hemlock, and from its shelter began to scold as only he can. (Copyright. 1931.)

Their father and I are very anxious to give them the best education that we can. ‘Two of the girls will graduate from high school this year, one is anxious to go on to a teachers’ training college. All of this is very difficult for us to do, as we are poor, and it requires a great sacrifice in many ways. Their aunts, who are childless, consider us very foolish in making this sacrifice and tell us that | we should put them to work; that we had to do without an education and they can, too. Are the aunts right or are we? Answer—You are right to give your children every advantage of education that you 'possibly can, because it will not only enrich their whole lives, but it will enable them 'to make more money. ‘The girl and boy without education must do menial work, which is always poorly paid work, but if they are intelligent and well educated they can get Jobs that pay a fair salary to begin with and the sky is their limit. They can }gn Just as far as their intelligence will take them. The first question that any employer asks an applicant for a_position is | what education he or she has, and if one has not even a high school educa- tion he has small chance of getting a desirable situation. Don't listen to what the aunts say about the folly of sending your children to school. To give them an education is better than giving them a fortune, because they could lose the fortune, but the education they will always have and it will always be a tool to work with. DOROTHY DIX. e s e JDEAR MISS DIX—TI am a woman nearly 70 years old and have brought up a large family of children. I owned, through my own and my husband's labor and thrift, a house which we bought before our children were able to work. My husband died, but I managed to cling to the house with the aid ' { of all the boys except the oldest, who married when he was in his early 20s and who, (f course, had to support his own family. N(v I have sold the house at & good profit, and the oldest son, who has never jhelped me in any way financially, demands part of the money, saying it is Jis right. The other children refuse to take a cent, telling me to keep all T have for my old age. What shall T do about giving the oldest son the morfsy he demands? He is after me all the time about it, and it will make | the other children so angry wnen they find out about it if I do give him the money. Please help. TROUBLED MOTHER. Answer—Stiffen your backbone, Troubled Mother, and say “No” good and hard to your greedy, selfish son. ‘Tell him that he will have to wait until you are dead before he gets his clutching fingers on your little bank roll. Of 2ll your children he has the least claim upon you, and you will be unfair to them as well as to yourself if you give him the money out of which he is trying to wheedle you. Surely the angels must weep at the spectacle of a son, & husky grown man, who is trying to graft from his poor old mother the money that her one piece of property brought her, who is willing to rob her of the few dollars that she has depended upon to make her last days comfortable and independent and who torments her tender mother heart with his importunities, Human nature can show nothing baser than that. Robbing one’s mother is the most despicable of all crimes, vet it is one not infrequently committed, Grasping children take their mother's ,all, promising her to take care of her and cherish her as long as she lives. They are very affectionate and solicitous for her happiness until they get her money and then she finds her- self thrust aside, made to feel & burden, often actually turned out of the house she has given them. Any mother may be very sure of this—that if her children want her money it is not safe to give it to them. For if they loved her they would not be willing to take it. They would want her to spend it on herseif, not on them, They would want her to have the blessed assurance of independence. They would want her to be able to indulge herself in the little luxuries she denied herseif while she was struggling to rear them, So the mother whose children are urging her to give them her property does well to get a death grip on her pocketbook. As long as she has m‘:)ex::i they will treat her well. The minute she has none they will send her to the poorhouse, " lJust bear this in mind, Tr()uhl’eerolher. avariclous son. He is trying to take advantage of you and of his worthier sisters and brothers. Be just to yourself and to them by refusing to give him the money for which he hounds you. DOROTHY DIX. .

WILKINS Wilkins Coffee Or~hestra WRC, Saturday Evenings, 8:30 to 9 e Note the New Hour) that elusive state called “lowered re- sistance.” The young lady who holds the position of health education direc- tor with a Western State_tuberculosis association recently got off some crisp Stuff for the papers of the State. She was so emphatic about the way in which exposure to wet feet and drafts renders one more susceptible to infec- tion that one newspaper man, an of- ficer in his State editorial association, asked her to enlighten him further. She explained that she used the terms “immunity” and “resistance” inter- changeably as they are often used in the fleld of bacteriology and biology. But she added that the word immunity refers o more resistance 10 & certain disease. So we are left to assume if we wish that the young lady conceives the term resistance to refer to a kind of | general immunity against many or all diseases. Then she finished off the newspaper man by citing the experiment of Pas- teur and the hens. Parteur inoculated hens with anthrax and found they did not develop the disease. But he soaked a hen in cold water long enough to bring the fowl's temperature down to that of mammals and then Pasteur was able to produce anthrax in the hen. This famous experiment of the great scientist is often cited by those who would have us believe exposure to cold and wet lowers resistance or increases susceptibility to “colds.” Of course it proves nothing of the kind and Pasteur never remotely suggested any such thing. There is no analogy between the ordinary every day exposure of ever man, woman or child that lives and this unnatural experiment. No one seriously contends that ordinary exposure to cold and wet low- ers the body temperature even a frac- tion of a degree. The old-timers who cite Pasteur's experiment in the at- tempt to fortify their gwn absurd posi- tion are simply presuming upon the childishness of their audience, for any- body who knows even the history of Pasteur’s life and work can see through the little trick in an instant. Having served Pasteur’s frozen hen. | the young lady permits herself to be- ting the body to become accustomed to conditions which seem to favor the de- velopment of a cold, such as sudden and marked changes in the weather, undue exposure to dampness, and similar conditions.” Page Mark Twain, Here's a bird who proposes to do some- thing about the weather, or else to stop doing it. Finally the young lady makes a strong appeal to the newspaper man by admitting that there are no doubt people, as she knows very well from personal experlence, who do not_get colds after exposure, Yes, and like- wise there are some who do rot get murdered after crooning on the radio.

Dandruff is our national shame be- cause people ignore the truth about their hair. Dandruff is a scalp disorder. Soap and water can’t cure a sick scalp. Forget surface treatments and get down to the glands. All hair is nourished by tiny glands, deep in the scalp. When they don’t open, your hair starves, gets dry and brittle, and in time falls out. What hair is left loses color. But instead of “touching up” hair that’s streaked or off-color, try gland stimulation. Faded locks will come back like magic! Pigmentation will revive the natural color of any hair not completely, permanently gray. Start the stimulation of those lazy glands tonight. The only way to wake them is by massage. Use the finger-tips, dipped in Danderine, to cut through gummed pores and hardened secretions. The first treatment will end dandruff. The first week will loosen the tightest scalp. Two weeks will give the hair new life and promote vigorous coloring and growth. If you don’t believe Danderine makes the hair grow, measure a lock before you begin tfeatment! If your hair is so dead it will scarcely hold a wave, or your scalp is granular and greasy from wasted secretions, stim- ulate the lazy glands with Danderine and see what happens before you have used up one thirty-five gent bottle!
