Bedtime Story for Children
By THORNTON W. 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.

Greatest Depth for Diver's Work
The greatest depth at which useful
work can be accomplished by a diver
Is 275 feet. When a diver descends,
the extra air pressure to which he Is
subjected is ipstantly transmitted to
the whole Inside of his body. Some
divers are able to withstand greater
pressures than others. Much depends
upon the physique and health of the
Individual.
Last year is now at the county fair.

Of women who, doing a small^ thing

Ip, ED WYNN, The Perfect Fool'
Dear Mr. Wynn;
We are getting up a raffle for a
poor man In our neighborhood, and I
have been asked to write to you to ask
If you won’t buy somfe chances.
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

. He still had a long way to go and
many things might happen before he
reached that snug little l)ome and
Nanny Meadow Mouse and the babies.
But Danny’s, heart was light, for on
the Green Meadows he knew Just what
to do knd where to go. He could see
~ Redtall the Hawk sailing round and
round, high in the blue, blue sky. He
knew that Redtall was watching with
those wonderful eyes of his for a fat
Meadow Mouse, but’that didn’t worry
Danny In the least You see, he knew

grass hung over It making a regular

along as fast as his short legs woulc

his snug, safely hidden little home.
The half-grown children raced out to
meet him to see if he had brough :
them something. Inside, the babies
were having an after-dinner nap. Of
Nannj_Meadow Mouse there was no

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.

The kidneys can be thodfbt of as
two organs, each about the size of a
doubled-up fist, that are shaped like
a kidney bean. 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

Dear Mr. Wynn:
I know a boy who likes to^show off)
when there to a crowd around. He
plays the saxophone very poorly yet he
always brags about hla playing. He
said that when the Prince of Wales
was over here that ,the prince attended
an amateur performance and the prince
commanded him to appear, with his
saxophone, before him. Do you be
lieve him?
Yours truly,
CLARA KNETT. .
Answer: What your boy friend
means to simply this: He appeared,
with his saxaphone around 9 o'clock
and *the prince did not arrive at the
performance till 10 o’clock. Therefore,
be really appeared before the prince.

the child today can be spared this

we know that these childhood diseases

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.
But the person with ao Impaired
heart or kidney will add years to his
life, !f‘ be will learn how to live with
tills impaired heart or kidney. Ho
must let them now bo the master of
his activities. If be does that sensibly,
ho win often be able to live many
years without Invalidism In bed, except
