AN EARLY 31 ORXIXG SONG.
Tinker Bob, Tinker Bob, where do you
go?
The hills and the valleys are covered
with snow.
Away from the forest no paths do you
know,
Tinker Bob, Tinker Bob, where do you
go?
The King of the Forest heard these
words ringing in the early morning air
ust outside the palace. Silky had not
heard them for he slept more soundly
than Tinker. You see the King thought
Silky ought to hear some singing be
fore they started away lest he migh,t
forget what it sounded like.
"Listen. Silky." said Tinker Bob. "Do
you hear that song?"
Silky listened and heard it reneated.
"Who is it that sings like this so early
in the morning?" he asked.
"It is the Dwellers of thp Forest who
have come to say goodbye before we
leave for the lands far away," Tinker
lion answered.
"You don't mean to say that they
are all singing like that?"
"They can't understand that we are
going- away to the junprles of a strange
land. To those who live in the forest
the Jungles mean nothing. They never
saw any creatures so large as the Ele
phant and none of them can under
stand what it all means to go off to a
strange land lik that. Of course some
of the birds kno-.v more about it than
Jack, the Rabbit, for he can't see any

"No, he has no imagination," said
Silky. "He isn't like me. I can see
creatures that never did live in all the
world! I can look into the dark and
see strange things that never seem
to appear in the day light."
"Once upon a time I could do the

same thing." said Tinker Bob. "I used
to be afraid in the dark. I thought
there were a dozen creatures about
me all the time. Then when I met
Old Man Experience he told me that
there were no creatures only those
you could really see and feel and then
I tried it out. When I thought I
saw a creature I went up to him and
when I got there he was gone, for
there wasn't such a thing. But the
creatures of the forest are not . that
way. They cannot see things unless
they really exist."
"Listen!" cried Silky, "that singing
sounds closer than it did."
"Ope the door, Silky, and let them
come in. for this will be the last tim-e
for us to see them all together."
Siiky opened the door and who do
you suppose had come to the King's
Talace? TVell we will see tomorrow.

ISN'T IT TRUE?
Tou take them here, you take them
there,
And when you've finished they give
you the air;
Yet there is one who will surely say:
"It's the woman who always has to
pay!"
It's a taxi for this and a taxi for that;
Your roll is lean where it once was
fat; -
Yet the heroine mutters in all the
plays:
"It's the much abused woman who
always pays!"
Tou buy all the eats, you buy all the
drinks;
Deep in their hearts we're the miss
ing links;
Tet th9 poet will quote in his righteous
way,
"It's the woman who always has to
pay!"
Oh, those Amies and Dotties and Ger
ties and Lills,
Why don't they ever settle the
bibs?
I'm changing that phrase with my
head in a daze:
"It's the downtrodden MAN who al
ways pays'"
Mark Hellinger.
Corn at 20 cents a bushel, says the
Department of Agriculture, equals coal
at $10 a ton. "What does corn at $10 a
quart equal, professor?" Inquires the
Hootchinson "Gazette." Corn at $10 a
quart equals funeral processions at $12
a carriage. '
The dome of the capitol at Washing
ton is now illuminated. Some of the
Congressional domes beneath it are
light enough.
FOR "THE, BLUSHING BRIDE." ,
For a long time we have read of
"blushing brides," but now they are
to. blush no more. . Several ministers
throughout the country, notably in
New Jersey, have formulated rules for
bridal apparel. Before marriage is per
formed by these pastors, the bride
must:
"Wear skirts not higher than where
the spring of the calf of the leg be
gins. "Skirts must, be wide enough to al
low genuflecting without exposing the
calf, much less the knee.
"No dress called technically an
'evening dress' shall be allowed. That
is, they must not be cut low, although
a slight 'V will be allowed.
"Sleeves must not be shorter than
the elbow. (How short is an elbow,
anyhow?)
"There must be a real covering of
hat or veil for the head. If a thin
veil is worn, it must be lined.
"All transparent or semi-transparent
material . shall be heavily lined."
What's the fun of being a bride and
having a swell church weddyig? Heav
en knows it is hard enough to get a
husband these days without trying to
find one who goes into the affair blind,
as these pastors would have him do.
"No more tobacco after 1924!" is the
cry of the antis. We know some cig
arette manufacturers who are three
years ahead of the time now.

RECIPES FOR THE DAY.
When purchasing meat for a meat
loaf it is not advisable to ask for a
pound of ground meat, for, although
the price may be lower, so is the qual
ity, and one cannot always be sure of
the freshness of meat purchased in
this manner. If one can be sure that
the butcher's meat grinder is clean it
is sometimes possible to purchase the
round steak and ask him to grind it,
but the safest way is to purchase the
meat and grind it at home. In this
way one is assured of the quality and
freshness of the meat and the cleanli
ness of the utensil used for grinding
it.
Meat loaves are often mada,"'of vari-

ous meat combinations such as pork
and beef or veal and beef. Then, too,
there are various things that may be
added to improve the flavor. Among
these are tomatoes, pepper, onions and
pimentos. Occasionally one may like
to put a couple of hard cooked eggs
in the center of the loaf, so that when
it is cut a slice of egg will be in the
center.
Tomato Jelly Two cups of tomato
juice, one teaspoon of salt, one tea
spoon of sugar, one slice of lemon, cay
enne pepper, two tablespoons of gela
tine. Boil the tomato juice with the
slice of lemon; add seasoning; strain.
Dissolve gelatine in cold water. Have
tomato juice boiling hot: add gelatine.
Pour into mold; let stand for several
hours. Serve with mayonnaise. This
will te made in the morning and is
enough to make the basis for the next
day's lunch.
SUGGESTIONS.
Work On A Schedule Systematize
your nousework and see how much
time there, is for other things.
Learn to work with quick, deft mo
tions and even dish washing will lose
its terrors.
When 'hands are trained to do cer
tain tasks in the easiest and quickest
manner possible housework can be
done on schedule time and a long af
ternoon be left free. Work on a time
table and adhtre to it.
A Time and Money-Saver Time is
money; yes. and so is space. One of
the places where space counts the most
is in the kitchen, in which "every little
movement has a meaning of its own."
Time and labor are wasted wholesale
on account of awkward arrangement of
the furniture and tools. .Nowhere has
modern rfficiency counted for more
than in the kitchen, which is the fam
ily laboratory, the household bakery
and laundry.
One of the primary blunders, often
times, is the built-in clipboard, planned
when the cook's or houseworker's re
quirements are merely guessed, not
understood. To move the built-in cup
board to the right place or reduce it
to correct proportion is out of the ques
tion. There it is. to stay.
The portable kitchen cabinet, on the
other' hand, is readily shifted. It is
a marvel of space economy, because it
is the result of the combined experi
ences of thousands of families. It is a
teache? of household efficiency, in its
every plan. It is a constant example
and stimulus to ship-shape methods. It
is also an example of economy in first
cost.

It is surprising how much
heat one of these little heaters
can throw off and how econom
ical they are in the use of fuel ;
it is of course the air tight prin
ciple which makes this possible.
These heaters are durably made
and attractively finished and at
these prices are the best values
to be found anywhere.

If You Had To Make Your Own
Gas
think of the trouble ! Coal and intense heat and
water and air, men and machinery and vast re
sources all these would be required.
The making of gas is a highly developed industry.
The piping of the gas to your home and the proper
connection of the pipes to the gas range or other
appliance are quite as important and all a part of
the Gas Service we render.
If you had to make your own gas you'd go back to
using coal or wood. And you'd be justified. We
make gas in quantity and sell it just as cheap as we
possibly can.
