Aunt Polly Helps.
Somehow Henrietta Hen couldn't
help liking Aunt Polly Woodchuck,
it: spite of her old-fashioned appear
ance. She certainly had a way with
her a way that made a person want
to tell her his troubles.
"I don't know whether you can
liel'i me or not," said Henrietta Hen.
"Have you any feathers in your bas
ket?" "No nol No feathers!" Aunt
Polly replied. "I use herbs in my

business of doctoring. But I've
htfard that a burnt feather held un
der a body's nose will do wonders
.sometimes. . . I must carrv a
feat'her in iny basket hereafter."
"One feather wouldn't do me any
good." said Henrietta Hen with a
doleful sigh. ''I need a great many
more than one."
. ;"You do?" Aunt Polly cried. -'
"Yes!" Henrietta Hen answered.
'Half my feathers have dropped off
inc. And that's why I've come to
ask your advice. I'm fast losing my
fatal beauty.
Henrietta Hen's voice trembled as
she told Aunt Polly Woodchuck the
dreadful news. "I don't believe
you'll be able to help me," she quav
ered. "I'l soon look like a perfect
fright. Besides, winter's coming;
and how I'll ever keep warm with no
feathers is more than I know."
Hcrnietta Hen couldn't under
stand how Aunt Tolly managed to.
stay so calm. Henrietta had ex
pected her to throw up her hands
and say something like "Sake
alive!" or "Mercy on us!" .But the
eld lady did nothing of the sort.
She set her basket down on the
ground; and, pushing her spectacles
forward to the end of her nose, sb?
leaned over and looked closely at
Henrietta Hcn: Aunt Polly's gaze
traveled over Henrietta from head
to foot and then back again. And
she took hold of one of Henrietta's
feathers and gave it a gentle twitch.:
"Look outl" Henrietta cried.
"You'll pull it out if you're not care
ful. And I can't afford to lose any
more feathers than I have to."
"Don't worry!" Aunt Polly Wood
chock advised her. "Cheer up!
There's nothing the matter with you.
You are molting. You are going to
get a new outfit of feathers for win
ter. Your old ones have to fall out
in order to make ropm for the new.
And no doubt the fresh ones will be
much handsomer than the old.
Henrietta Hen couldn't believe
that Aunt Polly knew what she was
talking about,
"I can't be molting as early in .the
WHY-
, Is Sugar Bad for the Teetch?
Like many other beliefs which are
only half-truths, the- feeling that
sugar is bad for the teeth and that
it leads to premature decay is true
only in certain cases principally
those where the teeth have not been
properly cared for or the mouth is,
not-well cleansed. But. a normal
amount of sugar is not only not in
jurious to teeth that are well- .kept
but: essential to the system . as a
whole. :
The danger of sugar in connection
with the teeth thetnsels lies in the
fact that it is transformed by the
action ,of the saliva into acid which
if present in sufficient quantities, has
an injurious effect upon the enamel
of the teeth, eating this away and
thus giving rise to, tiny cracks and
crevices into which the more danger
ous germs of decay make their way.
But, if the teeth are cleansed regu
larly at least twice a day and pref
erably after each meal this acid
Iocs not remain in place long enough
to do any harm and the sugar will
have no effect upon the teeth what
ever. Tarents. therefore who make
a practise of denying children sweets
of all kinds on the ground that "it is
bad for their teeth" should remem
ber' that a certain amount of sugar
Is as necessary to growth and nutri
tion as starch or salt and that the
danger lies not in the sugar, but in
the failure properly to cleanse the
mouth.

fall a th's." she protested "I've
never got my winter feathers so
soon. I fear you're mistaken," she
told Aunt Polly.
"Oh, nol I'm not mistaken,"
Aunt Polly Woodchuck insisted. "I
know it's early for molting but
haven't you noticed that the wheat
grew big this year, and that the bark
on your trees is tlrck? And haven't
you observed that Frisky Squirrel is
laying up a great store of nuts in his
hollow tree, and that the hornets
built their paper houses far from the
ground this summer?"
. Henrietta Hen's mouth fell open
as she stared at Aunt Polly Wood
chuck. ind when the old lady
paused, Henrietta lopked quite be
wildered. "I don't know what you're talking
about," she murmured. "I don't see
what all this has to do with molt
in?." . "Some of tho;e signs," Aunt Polly
explained, "mean an early winter:
and some of 'em mean a cold one.
I've never known 'em to fail. And
you're molting early so you'll have
a good warm coat of feathers by the
time winter comes."
"Well, Henrietta Hen began to
feel better at once. She actually
smiled something she had not done
for days. - '
Ihank you! J hank you! she
said. "You're a. fine doctor, Aunt
Polly. I don't wonder that folks ask
your advice--espccially when there's
nothing the matter with them!"
And then Henrietta Hen hurried
off down the lane. Being timid about
hawks, she never felt quite comfort
able far from the farmyard.

Sense
By J. J. MUNDY. -Plugging
Away.- '' -
How do you figure it is going to
be possible for you to do bigger
things than you are doing at pres
ent if you do not begin, or make an
attempt at it? -
As you look ahead you see a
point you -would like to reach; you
have cast your gaze in that direc
tion many timeswhy don't you
start? '
. A whole-hearted start is . what
you need..
Do you think a miracle can be
worked and it will set you -where
yon want to be, with no effort nor
education on your part for a suc
cessful issue? '
Men who do big things have big
plans, and then they work and
keep working at them, a wedge in
here, a poke and a pull and a twist
and a turn, a never-ending pushing
forward to the goal.
If all your ventures are small
ones, you won't get above the a-b-e
class in business.
Not that you have to be a plunger,
but you have to have everlasting
stamina and aggressive grit to get
out of the small groove into the
larger ones to cut a swath in accom
plishment. How broad is your vision, that
tells the story.
Look far enough ahead, and you
won't realize the obstacles.

Jack and Jill
Jack fussed through dinner and Jill
sensed a brewing storm. Not a storm,
really, for the dear girl had never
known a storm with her Jack-man
in all the whole year of their wedded
life.
"Picallili?" she said in surprise.
"Sure picallili haven't we any?"
'Why, no, dear, I didn't know you
were so fond of it. I'll order some
from the grocer tomorrow."
Jack spread half a biscuit thick
with butter.
"Haven't we got any jelly, either?"
he asked presently. '
"Any jelly? What on earth has
gotten into the boy?"
"Well, I think we ought to have
jelly on the table," said Jack, trucu
lently. "All right, honey," said Jill. "I
won't forget it, you old bear. ' I'll
order some from the grocer tomor
row, and we'll have it on the table
every night."
Jack thawed a little.
He pressed the mealy baked pota
to on his plate and was just about
to spread it liberally with butter,
when he glanced searchingly over at
the tea wagon that served Jill for a
serving table.
"Say, don't we ever have gravy,"
he demanded.
"Gravy? Of course we have gravy
when we have a roast.' But we don't
have gravy with chops, honey. What
in the world is the matter with you
tonight, you old crosspatch?"
"Well, I like gravy on my potato,"
said Jack. Nevertheless he contented
himself with the butter.
Jill -passed him a plate with a slice
of chocolate cake and . poured the
coffee.

Jack positively glowered on the
rich, heavily-frosted cake.
"Say"
"Goodness sake, Jack, if you dare
to ask for another things th;rt we
haven't got for dinner tonight, I shall
just cry," said Jill. "I don't know
what can he the matter with you to
night. You're as fussy and cranky
and fault-finding as a"
"Say," went on Jack, without no
ticing her interruption it's funny we
never have any of that whipped rream
stuff yoti know with pineapples and
everything in it comes in a long
stemcd glass thing"
"You just hush up Jack, about
whipped cream desserts, with cream
the price it is now. I simply"
"Well, other people can afford It,
and I guess we can," said Jack,
sturdily.
"What other people?" asked Jill,
suspiciously.
"Well, don't you remember, when
we had dinner over , at Bill and
Anne's, the other night, they had
picallili, : and jelly, and gravy, and
everything?" ;
Jill sat back in her chair and stared
at him. '' '
"Jack, you just listen to me. Any
time you find that my cooking isn't
suited to your distinguished taste, you
just march over to Bill and Anne,
and ask them to take you in as a
boarder. I ll bet they d get mighty
tired of your fussing and complain-
