l! To prevent moths from injuring
luirs, woolen garments etc. brush
and air them thoroughly, then put
away in the customary drawer eldest
Or
olosett, and place in the same re
ceptacle a two ounce phaal of chloro
form uncorked. This not only keeps
mo the out but kills the larva also.
Clean White Woodwork.
Put Boda on a damp cloth and rub
on woodwork. Then rinse with a
clean wet cloth and wipe dry. This
will take soot and dust from white
painted window sa,sli as well as in
side white woodwork.

Slip a strip of pasteboard inside
of the due in on which tliie braid is
to be sewed, and move along as you
sew, to prevent the 6 tic
lies from
ehowiaig throughi the hem.
Two Pine Threads For Kiubroidery
If two fine threads are in the
needle instead of one coarser otne
for embroidery gives a much better
effect. The finer threads fall more
closely together and the work is
smoother. Ca.re must be taken to
keep tli am even.
I Pre-s AVoal Dress Goods
If moistened brown paper is 'laid
over the goods to be pressed no flint
w.ll adhere to the gocds.
When cooking cabbage or turnips
that have become rather, tasteless
add a small amount of sugar.
Shake the folds from the clothes
when they come from the Wringer
It saves time when hanging them
on tli9 line, and they iron much
easier if well shaken out.
Try a nejk pieje of beef for a
pot roast. It is cheaper, contains
anucli nourishment, and if well cook
ed is appetizing.
The contest is drawing very close
now and perhaps some of your
friends in the race would like to
have your help.
Remember th^re are eight big
prizes to be given away. Ask
some of the contestants about the
features, "special servic^" "two
for one" "special days," etc.

T. ei Qreen of Miy anil June
I know a rl, a 1 1.* girl,

To see it on. a cloudy day
I'd g'adly walk a mile.

the boys sang.
Babs lickly tu: n:d and faced them
pushing back her curls..
"I dou'c care—not a bit,' she said,
'•I'd just as lief be it £s not. But
the next time I'll hide in a peachy
place where even you boys cant find
me.." and turning she rapidly began
to count. "Five—ten—fifteen—twent
twentfi-thirty," and so on to the
"All aren't ready, holler I,'
With head cocked on one side, she
lister.e'l caiefully for any sound by
which she might know where the
others had h!dden) but everything
was quiet in the big barn save the
stamp, stamp of the hordes below.
"I ll bet they're up in the hay
mow, Hector," she said to the dog
following clcse at her heels, "thats
the very pla e," and she ran up the
ers to the hay mow.
'"Con.e on Hector," she cried,
'I'll bet they're here, and—but sud
denly she shot hsad first out of
sigihlt.
It was the howling of the dog that
collected her scattered senses.. Whei
r/as she—in a box? It felt like it
for she could not use her arms.
Wiliere could she be? She felt a
tug and an impatient pull at her
hair wh'ch scared her almost to
death, and she screamed with fright.
Pcor Babs, she had fallen down
one of the hay chutes and the horse
below was eating her hair.
She sc eimed ag .in and again but
her vo'C3 buzzed about lier ears.
Then she found that she was get
ting strang.ly sleepy. Wasn't it
range she could go to sleep stand
ing on her head? She'd have a new
stunt to show the boys anyway.
D. owsily she wondered why Hec
tor still howled. Haw could s'ne go
to siesp in all that racket.
Tha r.ext thing she knew her aunt
was hugiing her tight and the rest
wtra standing around her with
scared fa es.
'•Babs, dsar," an 1 her aunt hug
ged her tighter, "don't you ever go
in the hay mow again If it hadn't
been for Hec or we would never
have found you."
Dizzily Babs sat up and grinned
at ring of white faces around her
"I told you I'd find a place xfliei'e
you'd never find me,' she said tri
umphantly.
for their meat, aid the men usually
cartri'.d a gun with them wherever
they went with the hope of getting
a deer, bear or other animal.
One day Abram's father concluded
to go deer hunting and asked the lit
tie boy if he would like to go along.
Of ccurse lie was crazy to go. So
they e:it the a'.'tsrnoon making pre
parations to start eirly in the morn
ing.
I hope we will cee a bear," Abram
said, I wou'.d like to be able to say
I hid killed a bear."
The day was jld and snow had fai-i JIXOJLE

about five o'clock. They were an
hour reaching the place where the
deer were like'.y to be.

It is easy to point out in what

it is not SJ easy to see the error.

hour and seeing no deer they went
further in:o the wood.
They had not gene far when they
heard a crashing ahead of them.
Tney pushed aside some brances and
looked, and there, standing with his
head lwgh in the air stood a beauti
ful stag.
lAbram was g.'eatly excited but
his fatlur had told him lie must not
shco: until near enough to kill as it
was cruel to crippie animals.
As they were not near enough to
thi deer to shcot they concluded to
separate and try to get behind him.
They were to meet at an old tree
directly behind him.
"Now is my clian.e" Abram thought
as he made his way cautiously
through the bushes and trees. "Fath
er thinks I am afraid, and I want
him to find out I a® not. What's
that?"
Abram l:g'.er.©a and wae frozen with
terror, for he distinctly heard a low
growl.
1
He did not entirely lose his wits
however and suppressed the scream
which rcse to his lips as he thought
of the deer which would take fright
and run away.
So he hesitated for an instant,
but his blood raji cold and his legs
would s:arcely support him he was
so scared.
The growl came again a little loud
er this time, and Abram dropped his
gun and shinned up a tree.
When he had reached a place of
safety he looked down and at the
foot of the tree, looking at him,
stood a big black bear.
Abram knew that bears sometimes
climb trees, and could hardly resist
the teaiptihion to scream and let his
faher know of his danger, but he
thought of the deer which would be
frightened and run away, and kept
siHentv
Suddenly a shot rang out and the
bear turned and ran away.
As soon as it was out of sight
Abram scrambled down and ran to
see if his fa:her had killed the deer.
Now that his fright was over he
felt a 11 tie ashamed of not having
at le.'sst given the bear a shot.
He told his father about his adven
ture an' was surprised when he said
you did just right, my son. It was
fortunate that you were near a tree,
and you shewed great bravery by
keeping silent. If you had made a
noise the deer would have gotten a
rway.
iAbrem was comforted, but still
had the feeling that if lie had not
got scared he might have killed a
bear.
