Thornton BEDTIME STORIES Bl’;’ Burgess. New Home Is Approved. ‘Who in his Shouid” a0 e Test Th et e hie e —Old Mother Nature. It doesn’t matter how simple or hum- ble a home may be, if it is a true home there is some cause for pride in it. If love dwells therein, there is something beautiful there, and if it is the very best home that can be provided, even though it be poor, indeed, compared with other homes, there is no cause for shame. There is always cause for pride in doing the best you can, even though that best be not much. Mr. and Mrs. Stubtail, the sleek *young Prairie-dogs who had been hard at work making a new home, their first home, next door to Yap Yap's home, had finished it and felt that they had earned a short vacation. Both had ‘worked and worked hard in the mak- ing of that home, and that was a splen- did way in which to start out together. ‘They had contributed equally to plan- ning it and to digging it, and now that 5)‘1 ';'t“ finished they were equally proud “There isn’t a thing about it that I ‘would change,” declared Mrs. Stubtail, who was & plump, very neat appearing young person. Stubtail chuckled. “Neighbor Yap ‘Yap thinks we haven't the proper slant to our hall” said he. “Neighbor.¥ap. Yap may think what he pleases. This home was made to “THERE ISN'T A THING ABOUT IT THAT I WOULD CHANGE,” DE- CLARED MRS. STUBTAIL. suit us, not him,” retorted young Mrs. Stubtail somewhat indignantly. “It a funny thing to me that other people 8o often think they know better what r first making, but if there is a better house in this town'I don’t know where it is. I wouldn't trade with any one. I'm proud of it. I am s0.” “You are no more proud of it than I am, my dear,” replied Stubtail. In truth, they had reason to be proud of it. It had been planned and dug according to the latest and best ideas in Prairie-dog homemaking. To begin with, it had a long entrance hall just big enough for a Elump e—dns to pass through easily and comfortably. but not big enough for any one larger to enter. That hall was a very long hall, indeed. It went down at a very steep angle for about 15 feet. This was much deeper than the halls of many other houses in the town. It had meant & great deal of work, of hard work, and more than once the Stubtails had been tempted to end it. Then, one would remind the other of a certain home they knew of with a hall going down only a few feet from the surface, be- u\ug the owneuhh:ldb;ebecndm \?’ leeper. This ha 'n_dug open by the Badger, and after that the lagy couple were seen no more. At the thought of that dreadful affair the Stubtails would resume work with re- newed energy. At sbout 15 feet down, the hall was turned at right angles and carried along for nearly as far. Opening from this was a comfortable bed room with a bed of another room, a sort of storeroom, opened from the hall. This was for use later. The earth that had been taken out was used to build 8 mound with the doorway in the middle, and this mound had been built with care. is | specifically, “What precautios grass. A little farther along |l As they built it up the earth was pressed down firmly with their noses. You see, it wouldn't do to leave the earth loose, for then it would be for- ever falling down into the house as they went in and out. So they bullt this mound with care. It had two pur- poses. One was to prevent water run- ning into their home during heavy rains, other was to give them a place to sit where they would be high enough to look over their surroundings and watch for possible danger. No sooner was the home finished than the Stubtails began to receive callers, for Prairje-dogs are social folk. The neighbors came to inspect the new home, and a great many nice things were sald about it. It was warmly ap- proved, even by Yl& Yap,- who had tried to give advice in the building of it. It was generally agreed that the Stubtails had one of the best homes in town. Do you wonder that they were proud of it? Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Poison Ivy and Oak. At this time of year children roam in the woods, pulling up weeds and flowers, in fact green thing which can be carried and put in a vase. We have by no means eradicated poison ivy and poison oak frcm the woods, and until we do children should be warned against this vine and shrub and told how to identify each. The two plants resemble each other, being three-leaved. Botanically they are not exactly the same, but both belong to the same family and are equally poisonous to touch or taste. The ivy is a vine, growing about the Tre poison oak is a 6 to 10 feet high, bearing greoxi: .2 berries. In the early Spring the lsaves of the poiscn oak are reddish in color and ere eesily distinguiched. Later, how- ever, the leaves turn green, so it is hard to distinguish the plant from dozens of harmless, green shrubs. Both of these poisonous plants grow in swampy lands and amid underbrush, 50 that to avold them it is only nec- essary in most cases to keep away from thick underbrush and damp, swampy places. Mrs. F. H. has already had trouble with peison ivy and she wants to know how to avold it and what to do if the child should encounter it. uhl.hflfl.l . take to insure the children's leaving this dangerous plant alone?” One excellent procedure is to go out in the woods with the vine or shrub, and then warn them against handling either. Suggest that when they do encounter one, they are to mark its location so that it may later be hunted out and eradicated. As all children's hands are stained and dirty after a day in the woods, hands, face and neck and bare legs should be well washed and scrubbed with soap and water as scon as they arrive home. It takes some little time | for palson ivy to show its effects and if ;| chi'dren weore taught to wash their hands and face thoroughly after picking flowers or green things, much distress might be spared them. If the skin does break out into the typical white blisters, the child should be taken to & doctor and properly treated, as the polson spreads rapidly and is capable of causing much agony. It is too bzd that children have to be warned against the dangers in the midst of nature’s beauties, but it is bet- ter for them if they think of even the woods 8as dens to be enjoyed by every one. re is much to be gained if children go into the woods to hunt | for and idenfify plants and flowers | without the persistent desire to tear up what they find, only to leave their plun- der in a wilted | ‘The warnings e | leaved plants or shrubs, to avold ruth- | ess tearing up of plants and flowers, to . wash face and hends and ‘all exposed surfaces thorcughly with soap and | mmflu x;"Mwn I; hm:! is renhg. should avert any danger of touching the ivy plants, which repay the vandalism o_cruell: COOL CAKE-ICING Make smooth, cake Confec taste you'll ‘A Franklin Cane Sugar for eve fuscious icing with Franklin oners Sugar, with- oking.

Perhaps you have noticed that chil- dren are delighted when they find out that their elders are paying attention to what they have to say. Children can hudl{nwlu to grow up. They feel that they have made a gain every time they are taken seriously. The big urge in childhood is to hand out informaticn. No matter how widely psychologists may disagree in other respects, they all agree in one, namely: Infants long to be rid of their infantilism. Freud, the student par excellence of childhood, asserts that we never fully get rid of our infantilism. Freud, of g in terms of emo- tions urges.
