BURGESS DANNY'S HOME-COMING W HEN the first Jolly Sunbeams <ame stealing through the Green Forest, Danny Meadow Mouse began to be uneasy. He was thoroughly rest ed and the dangers of the dreadful night were already forgotten. Per haps I should not say that they were forgotten, for, of course, that Isn’t Wit* true. But Danny had quite put them out of his mind. That Is the way with the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. Dan gers that are past are not worth think ing about They must keep their minds ler own dinner. It was while he wait ed for her that Danny began to won der how ever he would be able to ex plain his long absence. He suspected hat Nanny would be very cross, very cross, Indeed. He suspected that he was due for a scolding, such a- scolding as only Nanny’s sharp tongue cpuld ive. He knew that he deserved It He was glad, ever so glad, to be home, but he felt most uncomfortable. By and by, as he sat just outside his snug little home, he heard foot steps hurrying along one of the pri vate little paths. It was Nanny hur^ rylng home to her babies. When she saw Danny she stopped short and stared at him as if she thought her eyes were playing her tricks. Then, •Instead of the sharp iyords he expected and knew he richly deserved, Nanny rushed to him crying, “Oh, Danny, I’m so glad! I’m so glad! r^hought you were dead!” And DannK Meadow Mouse-knew then how great Hi love. e T. W.

He thanked his cousin, Whitefoot, for all the latter had done for him and then climbed out of the hollow stump and once more started for th» Green- Meadows and home. As long as he was in the Green Forest he was anx ious. He didn’t feel at home there. He didn’t know what to expect He Imagined all sorts of dangers. But the Instant he reached the edge of the Green Meadows his heart became light.

Truly yours, BENNY FACTOR. Answer: I don’t want any chances, as I wouldn’t know what to do with a poor man If I won one. Dear Mr. Wynn: I have read a great 4eal lately about bigamy and blgami8$. Am I not right when I say “If a man has one wife too many he is a bigamist?” Yours truly, DELLA WARE. * * Answer: You are not right I know a man who has only one wife, and only the other day he told me that although he Is married to one woman he has one wife too many; yet, you can see, he has not committed bigamy. Dear Mr. Wynn: I hear so many jokes about matrl- muny that I often wonder If any of the things I heard h%ve any truth behind them. For instance, are all married people unhappy? Sincerely, I. RISH. Answer: No, only the men. "Oh, Danny, I'm 8o . Glad!’ k 4 1 .

TAPIOCA ICE CREAM N OW that the mechanical refriger ator has become such an every day affair, we are learning new ways of economy In foods as well as energy. The use of quick-cooking tapioca has become common in the preparation of soups, omelets, berry pies and meat loaves, but now comes the thrilling discovery of what this versatile Ingre- diet can do for ice cream. With the use of tapioca, a -velvety smooth cream can be made without the bother of cranking the freezer. Yet no more cream is required than for the mix ture which must be stirred. Simply prepare the mixture, set the control for freezing desserts and for get all about It until the freezing is complete. For those who have no me chanical refrigerator, turn thfe mix ture Into a mold, pack In ice and salt and let stand for four or five hours. Formerly recipes of the mousse type, with a large proportion of cream have had to be used In order to get satisfactory results In the texture, without stirring. All cream desserts are too rich as well as costly t<» serve for the average housewife, also are too rich for the children and adults after a heavy dinner. Chocolate Ice Cream. Take two squares of unsweetened chocolate cut Into pieces, add to two cupfuls of milk in a double boiler and heat When the chocolate is melted beat with a rotary beater until well blended, add three tablespoonfuls of quick-cooking tapioca, one-fourth tea- spoonful of salt knd cook until clear and thickened, stirring frequently. Add one-half cupful of sugar and four tablespoonfuls of light corn sirup; cook until all are well blended, then cool Strain the mixture by stlqring, not rubbing through a fine sieve. Chill. Add two tablespoonfuls of sugar lb two beaten egg whites and fold Into the mixture. Add one cupful of cream whipped and two teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Turn into the freezing tray apd freeze as rapidly as possible. Three to four hours are required. Lacking the refrigerator, pack In Ice and salt for several, hours. • WMtara Nvwapapw Uni**.

In fact. It li because of this resemblance that the vegetable kidney bean gets Its name. These or gans are specialized glands for the ex cretion of water and dissolved sub-, stances from the body. It Is; Just as Important for the kidney to excrete water as It 1s for It to excrete the dis solved salts, urea and other substances Which are poisonous to the body when allowed to concentrate In the blood stream. The kidney represents the dam that allows the constant flow of. the end products of metabolism from the body. The secreting units of the kidney are specialized small twists of capillaries that are like a small ball of yarn, and are located In thq outer portion of the organ. There are several million of these small secretory units, whose job It to to secrete urine .every minute ol the time, day and night Nature prodigal with the number of these se creting units, for there are many more „ than are needed for dally use. She has provided for a reserve supply In eabh kidney, so that In case of emer gency, these can come to the rescue. Now during childhood or adolescence, a person may have had an Infectious disease common to young people, such . as measles, diphtheria or scarlet fever. Although apparently recovered, there may have been some damage^to one or both of the kidneys, which was not sufficient, however, tp cause acute kid ney disease, and the reserve secreting units were able to carry on the normal function of the kldneysAAnd for the next 20 or 90 years the Individual was left happily in Ignorance that the kid neys bad been damaged, for there were no' extra demand* placed upon them, and they seemed to be functioning they shotld. \ Then when this-Individual reached ap'age pant forty, and the aging proe- r Make it In percale for a morning frock I Make It In novelty cotton, shantung or pique for a sports frock I And then make It again Jn silk crepe for an afternoon flock f This pattern will make a charming frock for nearly any summer day time occasion, fts lines are partic ularly good—for the “not-too-ellm” figure.

But the child today can be spared this danger. We have the vaccines now; we know that these childhood diseases need not be “inevitable'” accompani ments of young years; we could stamp them out If the community so willed.

Science has not yet been able to vhc- cinate against the kidney or heart rearing out! The chances art it never will The way to keep these organ functioning without impairment of re serve power is to keep infectious germ diseases out of the body. Then scar tissue will not be formed as the result of a secondary infection, or inflamma tion, on either of these organs. Scar tissue on a kidney impedes the func tioning power of that kidney just as much as the loss of one of our hands would impede the working ability of our arm.
