IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS
Keeping House With the Hoopers
[The Hoopen, an average American family of fire, living In a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meei the conditions of the high cost oi living with them.] “I’ve made up my mind,” said Mrs. Hooper as the doctor came downstairs after his morning visit to Betty, to nurse my baby myself. I know very well that I can carry out your instructions perfectly, and that there is nothing that Miss Bing is doing that I can’t do. “Are von dissatisfied with Mias ding? asked the doctor. “If so I will get another nurse, but I never take a chance on a case as serious as this, by letting any one but a trained nurse take care of my patient.” ... ... “I have no fault to find with Miss Ring,” answered Mrs. Hooper, “but I “have always believed that no one can take as good care of my children when they are 111, as I can myself, and while I realize that Betty is not yet out of danger, I feel convinced that she will come through the crisis of this fever all right if I am only permitted to take care °**‘A. e great many mothers feel Jnst as yon do. Mrs. Hooper,” replied the doctor, "and on one or two occasions I have been persuaded against my better ment to permit them to undertake the ntmdng° of my patient only to find timm absolutely and not to De trusted In ft sick room. . nrn "But I assure you, doctor, that I 0‘ not the helpless, unintelligent person jcm suppose.” answered Mrs. Hooper. spirit. “I have always taken care of mj children when they were ill, and I have been regretting all week that I gave m have a trained nurse at aU It was your Instance and Mr Hooper s persuasion that caused me to give In, but I am quite determined to have my own way now. and take charge of Betty myself from now on.” “Very well. Mrs. Ilooper. was the doctor's hauvbty response. “I shall tell Miss Ring what you have decided upon, and I will give you the Instructions you need when I come back this afternoon, hut I think you are making a great mis take in not continuing as we have beexpect to be the best judge of that,” replied Mrs. Hooper as she followed the doctor to the door, “and I know yon will not be disappointed ln me “ s * nurse, when you come to work with m ln the sick room.” “You will, of course, have to go In strict quarantine Jnst ns Miss ■ and have no comm unicat'on with the rest of the family.” _ ' „ “I expect to do that, of course, answered Mrs. Hooper. “I saould not care to expose the other children unnecessarily. and besides. I realize that all mv efforts must bo concentrated on taking care of Betty, so if you will arrange* to have Miss Bing leave tonight 1 shall be ready to go Into the Mck room and remain until Betty is out of danger “Just as you like, of course, said the doctor stiffly, as he closed the screen door of the pront porch with a sharp little bang that indicated that he was not it all pleased. Mrs. Hooper sat down in the low elrnr near the reading table to think over the decision she had just made. Po far a-* she knew Betty was holding her own very well. The nurse seemed perfectly competent and the doctor had fi-oii her no reason for feeling alarmed But vaguely she felt that the lile of her little daughter safer ln her own hands, and she had not been able to persuade herself that she was not the proper person to care for her when she was seriously ill There had been practically no illness in the family heretofore. She and Henry were unusually healthy, and Roger and Helen and Betty had been so well cared for that they had escaped everything of a contagious nature and were not given to catching colds or suffering from stomach ailments as many children are. The old doctor who had been with Mrs. Hooper when the babies were born had died, and the man she had called in when Betty had fallen ill so suddenly was a stranger to her. He had insisted on sending for a train'd nurse as soon tu he bad diagnosed the child’s illness and Mrs. Hooper had reluctantly con sented. After enduring the suspense of being absolutely separated from the child for a week, she had come to the definite conclusion to dismiss the nurse and take care of Betty herself, whether the doctor lilted it or not She had all day to piar as to what would be best to be done as far as Roger and Helen were concerned, so that the house could run along while she was taking care of Betty. When Henry telephoned from the city in the evening be was surprised to have her say to him: “I am going to nurse Betty myself. I’ve sent Miss Ring away. I’ve had a lory cord put on the telephone so that It reaches into by bedroom and you can talk to me at any time, and I will be able to tell you just how Betty is get ting along. Mother is coming to take cure of Helen and Roger so that everything will be all right.” The menu for the three meals on Tups day is: BREAKFAST.

To Discard Freckles, Tan, Pimples, Wrinkles
It Is said that creams containing animal grease cause hair to grow. You run no risk of acquiring superfluous hair from using ordinary mercolised wax There is nothing better for a discolored skin, as the wax actually absorbs the offensive cuticle. The latter Is naturally replaced by a clear, smooth, healthy complexion, full of life and expression. It's the sensible way to discard a freckled, tanned, over-red, blotchy or pimpled skin, get an ounce of mercolized wax at any druggist's and apply nightly like co'.d cream, erasing in the morning with soap and water. Soon you will observe a most remarkable transformation. The Ideal wrinkle remover is made by dissolving an ounce of pure powdered saxolite In a half pint of witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution brings almost immediate results.—Advertisement.

Wash the beets, rubbing them carefully with tbe palm of the hand to dislodge the dirt, but not to hard as to abrade the tender skin. Drop them into fresh, cold water as you cleanse them. Put into a sauce pan of salted boiling water and cook for an hour. Drain, scrape, slice and serve in a deep dish with melted butter poured over them. They are best when a tablespoonful of hot vinegar is added to the melted butter.

A delightful summer sonp. PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Ily David Cory ' Well, yon remember the fairy whistles were blowing Just as we ended the last story. So Puss and his Good Gray Horse went Into the forest a little farther and then, all of a sudden, the Fairy Queen came out of a big Jack-in-the-Pulpit Flower and said: “Little Puss Junior, where have you been All this long time, I pray? And where are yon going upon your good horse, Tramping the woodland way?" “I am seeking adventure, your Highness,” answered Little Puss Junior, taking off his plumed hat and bowing. “X have a message for you," s&ld the Fairy Queen. “A little fish who swam all the way from the castle where your father lives told me that your father is getting very old. So I have made up my mind to tell you of a most wonderful flower, the Flower of Youth, It is called. You must find it and take it to your father, who will then remain young and strong.” “Tell me quickly, good Fairy Queen,” ' cried Puss, “for I am anxious to keep my : dear father young and strong.” “Get off your horse and sit town by me,” said the Fairy Queen. “You are so high up in tha air atop of your great steed that I must call to you with all my voice.” So Puss dismounted, and then the Fairy Queen told him ho must flrst take i the path through the forest until he cama to a big stone cross. "And then yon must wait there until tho moon is
in the center of the heavens, and its light is reflected In the little pol of water that lies near the great stone cross." Well, after that, Puss mounted his Good Gray Steed and set out o.i his quest for the Flower of Youth. And by and by after a while he rode down the forest path he heard a voice singing: ’ "Make haste, make haste, O little Sir Cat, For It soon will be night and the big horned bat Will fly across your paih and try To throw Bleep Sand, in your Good Steed’s eye.” And when the Good Grny Horse heard that he broke Into a gallop, and pretty soon the great stone cross cam* .nto sight. And just as they reached It a big bat flew right in front of them and threw a handful of Sleep Sand, tut tho Good Gray Horse shut his eyes Jnst in lime, and the sand fell to the ground and rolled down into a little ant house and put all the ants to sleep for a week and three days. “Well, here we are, safe and sound”
SOUTH MERIDIAN ST, WOMAN WANTS TO SHARE HER RECENT BIG GAIN WITH THE PUBLIC
"I recommend Pepgen to the people of Indianapolis as the best medicine money can buy,” says Mrs. L. Gephart, of 1661 South Meridian street, Indianapolis. “For the last two years I have been confined to a wheel chair because of a crippled condition which resulted tipm a broken limb. 1 have not even been able to get about the house except in a wheel chair. Asa result of this, I have not had any exercise and this had a bad effect upon my health in general. I lost my appetite. Then It got so that the little food I ate didn’t seem to have any taste to it. I began losing my strength and energy and finally got so that I didn't seem to have a bit of life about me. I was very nervous and restless. 1 couldn't sleep right. I often heard
said the Good Gray Horse at mat, stooping beside the stone cross. “That wicked bat threw away Lis Sleep b'and for nothing, although I believe a little did get into one of my ears. Then Puss Jumped down and tho Good Gray Horse took a long drink from the spring that bubbled up from tho ground. And in the next story you shall hear what happened when the moon shone’ down from the middle of the dark blue sky.—Copyright. 1921. (To Be ContinuedL.)
