The Busy Bees
i M lxtv of 11,0 Busy Boos are spending their vacation days in the
JF country, or by somo 'pretty Httlo lake. And some- ot ub aro
jrl I staying homo. Helen Turklngton is now enjoying a trip in
ono oi ue iako Doata, me rortn Liana, one is not bo ousy,
however, that she has forgotten her little friends at home,
for sho has written a story for tho Busy Bees this wcok.
Another Interesting story Is written by Alice Crandell of
Chapman, Neb. Sho tolls of picking cherries and what fun tho children
who live In tho country aro having picking fruit this summer. I hopo that
all Busy Bees will not forgot tho animals this summer; you know that they
can stand tho hot weather so much better if wo sco that thoy havo nico,
clean water to drink and good food. Then, too, tho little birds need a cool
drink, and if a dish of clean water is placed in tho yard each day it will bo
n ploasuro to seo our llttlo friends accept the kindness and soo how happy
thoy aro when they havo had their drink, It will not tako them long to
learn that you care for them if you show such conslderutlon for their com
fort during tho warm weather. If you havo a dog, remember that ho, too,
needs a cool drink moro often during the warm weather than ho does in
the winter tlmo. It is so much better for us to think of others and do for
them than it Is for us to worry about how warm it la.

How We Spent the Fourth in Mexico.
By Charles Clayton, Ajred 11 Years, 2340
Sumner Street, Lincoln, Neb.
I am solnc to toll you how wo spent
the Fourth in a little mining- camp in
Northern Mexico, There were only about
thirty Americans In camp, but we de
(elded to cclebrnto the Fourth by bavins
a picnic. Ono morning a few days later
soma of the men pot horse and found
a. place for tho picnic. They liad a hard
'time, for trees are scarce In northern
(Mexico, unless you go to the mountains.
The. plaee they selected was In an aroya,
(Where there was a grove of black wal
nut trees. It was dry because the rainy
season had not begun yet.
On the Fourth early In the morning
somo men went down and started tho
barbecue. About noon the rest ot the
party went down In the carryall. When
we (got tliers the meat was almost done.
Tils' ladles spread out a tablecloth' and
many good things to est Then they
fried bacon and made coffee. By tho
time the meat was done wo sat down to
eat. first looking under all the stones to
see If any centipedes or scorpions were
around. After supper wc played games
while tho men shot at targets. As It
Krew dark Uie men built a large camp
fire and wo sat around It singing songs
till we saw some clouds rolling up rapidly.
tWe all hurried to the carryall and horses,
becauso when It docs rain In Mexico It
.Imply pours and If we had stayed In
the aroya we would have been drowned.

The Little Caterpillar.
By MoUIe Carenman, SOS Bouth Seventh
Street, Omaha, Neb.
One day while I was looking at my
garden. I saw a little brown caterpillar
eating the leaves from my morning
glories. It ato so much that I thought
It would cat them nil, but it didn't. I
watched It every day and at last it
stopped eating. It was doing something
else. It was making a cocoon. Ono
morning X didn't see the caterpillar and
I wondered where It was. I then asked
my father If ho could tell me and he
aid: "Why, don't you knowT It la In
side of tho oo coon." I was very much
surprised to hear this, and he told me
to watch It every day and seo what '
Would happen. While I was watching
It one day, all of a sudden a magnificent,
white butterfly flew out of the cocoon.
It was very beautiful. It mult have
thought to Itself, "how much more beau
tiful a butterfly Is than a caterpillar."
And I think It la right, don't yeUj

A Visit to an Ostrich Farm.
By Mildred C. Clllmore; Aged IS Years.
Gibbon, Neb.
One day early last fall wo visited an
ostrich farm. When wo got off the car
we could see nothing but a high board
fence with a building which gave en
trance to the park whore the ostriches
were kept. We entered a room of this
building and saw ostrich feathers of dif
ferent colors and sizes, and large ostrich
eggs. After looking at those tilings we
went out into the park.
Thoro were a lot of pens with ostriches
In them ' of different sizes.
The ostriches.' liayo long legs and pecks
with no feathers on them. The fcathors
on the bodies of the female birds were a
dull gray' and those, ot tho male, black
with white plumes on their wings and
tails.
There was one ostrich that was about
seven or eight feet tall. When It saw us
It started straight for Us. Wo wore told
they were not very tame. They tried to
reach over the fence and pick our hats.
We were also told how they get the
plumes from the ostriches.
Some feed Is put on the ground under
the fence When the ostrich goes Jo
pick it up a big Is slipped over Its head.
They aro .then driven Into V shaped pea
and the plumes are clipped off. An os
trich never kicks backwards.
They commence to clip the feathers
when the birds are about eight months
old and are clipped every nine months.
The feathers are cut off near the body
and the quills are left to be pulled out
a few weeks later, when the operation
is painless.

Me&lfli arKd Beauty Mints
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN
Katie: I advise you to uso this form
ula for a hair-tonic, because to my per
sonal knowledge It does more for the hair
and scalp than anything eiBe and is easy
to make: Into li pint alcohol pour 1
ounce qulnzoln and add 'A pint water.
This qulnzoln tonic qulckiy stops tho
Itching and' cures tho dandruff and lu
soothing to a eoru or tender sculp. The
regular uso of this inexpensive tonio cor
rects dry, scaly conditions or excessive
olllncss, becauso It makes the scalp and
hair-sacs healthy; and to dull, brittle,
faded hair will give a brilliance and
softness, as well as restores the former
color.'1 For best results it Is well to
shampoo with canthrox. (bee answer to
"Leila).
Lydla: Yes, rubbing pyroxln on eye
brows will induce tnem to grow thick
and glossy. Apply pyroxln at lash-roots
with thumb ana loretlnger and thoy will
grow long, silky ana curly. This treat
ment Is unfailing, but be careful not to
get any pyroxln where hair is not wonted.
Mabel P.: A thick pasto mode of dela
tono and water and applied to those hairs
for 2 or 3 minutes wil entirely dissolve
them. After tho oelatone is removed tho
skin should be washed and anod. This
is quick, harmless and in no way mars
the daintiest complexion. You must,
howover, be sure It is delatone you get.
Bertha: Yes, exorcise and dieting some
times reduces your weight. An easier
and better way is to dissolve the unnec
essary fat-tissues with the aid of the par
notls treatment. This reducer Is made
by adding 4 ounces Parnotls to VA pints
hot water. When it cools take one table
spoonful three times each day. Keep up
the parnotls treatment regularly and in
a short while you will havo gotten rid ot
the annoying fat and your figure will be
gracefully plump and rightly propor
tioned and the skin will bo tight and
smooth.
I .aura: Your dull eyeo will- tako on a
delightful sparkle and. expression whoa
2 or 3 drops of a crystos tonic ore put in
them daily tor awhile. It Is an old-fashioned
and very economical remedy which
also soothes the burning and relieves the
aching after one or two applications. It
Is simply flno for granulated lids. To
prepare, dissolve an ounce In 1 Pint cold,
clear water and it Is ready. It Is abso
lutely harmless under all conditions.
Leila: In a case Uko yours where the
scalp Is so sensatlvo I should use canth
rox. Get from your druggist an original
packago and dissolve a teaspoonful In a
cup of hot water and your shampoo Is
ready. You will find canthrox shampoos
very beneficial, because they remove
every trace ot dust, dandruff, excess oil
and leeuvo the scalp and hair-roots
healthy and vigorous. CSanthrox is beno
ncial to uie finest head of hair and to

it has no equal, it is also
greatly beneficial to yeuplo suffering

Iorothy: It Is a pleasure to know
that you are so well picas od with quln

In a spurmax lotion, because It Is for
superior to powder and will surely over
come tho sniny, "muddy" condition ot
your skin. Just get 4 ounces spurmax
from your druggist and dissolve It in
M pint witch hanel or hot water and add
2 teaspoonluls glycerine. When tho
spurmax lotion Is on It cannot be de
tected, and It lenda an exquisite rose
tint and youthful charm to any com
plexion. Once you try this lotion you
will much prefer It to any powder you
ever used . It is especially nice for taa
and freckles.
Cora H.: To remove wrinkles. I use
this puroly vegetable product which I
make at home. It Is unlike creams con
taining onnlmal fat as it does not grow
hair nor make the flesh loose. Just dis
solve an ounco of almozoln, which you
con get from any druggist. In j4 pint
cold water and add Z tcaspoonfuls ot
glycerine. Stir and let stand for one
day. To remove wrinkles apply a thick
coat of this cream-Jelly and leave 'on
over night. This protects the Bkln and
allows all tho blood action to be used
In constructing new toxture. In tho
morning wash it out of tho pores and
massage thoroughly with more of tho
