"What a happy family you have Mrs. Pussy Willow. And how are you this lovely spring day?" "Lovely!" exclaimed Mrs. Pussy Willow, and she shivered -so hard her bud children nearly tumbled off their stems. "Lovely nothing! I think it's dreadfully cold."

Gladys Harpelle, Kathleen Baker, Reporters, > . Oliver Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell lived in the Stuart Period, in' Charles the First's reign. He was an Independent in religion. At this time Charles was breaking his promises made in the Petition: of Rights, Cromwell saw something had to be done. He got Parliament to pass the 'Grand Remonstrance," bringing up all the wrong things Charles had done before him. © Charles still kept doing wrong and unlawful things so Cromwell raised an army and fought Charles. His army was called the Parliamentary army, or Ironsides. He defeated Charles at Naseby In 1645, at Morti- miers' Cross 1647, at Preston 1648, at Worcester 1651, and the battle of Edge Hill 1643, was a drawn battle. Cromwell passed the Solemn League and Covenant in 1643 after the battle of Edge Hill, getting the Scottish to help him on condition that he would make the Presbyterian . church the state church. In 1645 he passed the Self Denying Ordinance, forbidding any member of Parlia- ment to hold office in the army. In 1648 he sent Colonel Pride to the House to order all Presbyterians to leave. In 1649 he had Charles ex- cuted. Cromwell ruled from 1649-1658. England prospered under his rule. It was a one-inan rule but he did what he thought w#s for the good of the peope.--Gladys Harpélle.

Why, I've been trying for ever so long to awaken the flowers, but they're sounder sleepers than you are. But I'm sorry if it caused you inconvenience. I'll fly away this very minute, so you can go back to sleep again if you wish." ' "Well, I guess you won't flad me sleeping any more this year," laugh- ed Mama Pussy Willow.

Bluejay was only too glad to do all he could to help, so Squeedee hopped on his\blue wings and away they sailed. When they returned they not only brought soft, woolly, gray coats for Mama Pussy Willow's children, but for every pussy willow baby along the stream. Mama Pussy Willow was so proud of her children in their new coats she thanked Bluejay for awakening her ,and sald he might do so every year if he'd furnish woolly coats for her bud babies, and that's how it comes that Mama Pussy Willow's bud babies all wear soft, woolly, gray Variety is the spice fe----aspec-, fally in a first-class vau lle show.

Sugar is one of the most important foods in the world. We could not be strong and healthy without it. Sugar is found in the sap of many trees, especially the maple. It is also found in the nectar of many flowers and in fruits and vegetables. We know that peaches, grapes and pears are sweet because of the sugar in them. ' J The ordinary sugar we use is made from the sugar-cane and sugar-beet. The first sugar was made in India about 800 years before the birth of Christ, and the process slowly travel Jed across the countries of the Medi- terrenean and then explorers brought sugar to the new world and now sugar came is grown in the Umited States and the West Indies and South America.

(Johns Hopkins University) { \ How to Treat a Sore Throat Until a Doctor Takes Charge. When you have a sore throat you need a doctor to make certain that it is one of the nine harmless types, instead of the tenth or diptheria kind. Always find it convenient to do this ,especially if you need imme- diate relief. f Cold compresses are generally good applications for sore throats and are at all times avatlable. The only things necessary are cold water, a cloth or two and a warm room. It is preferable to lie in bed when these are applied to the outside of the neck, but it is not absolutely es- sential. Camphorated oil should find a place in every medicine chest. This is to be applied upon the throat ex- ternally. It should be thoroughly rubbed upon the jaw and down. It is best to apply it at night when the oil may be absorbed into the pores of the skin. This is assured under the Warm covers. It is to 'be, under- stood that the oil should be so rubb- ed into the skin that the hands and neck feel dry after the massage is completes. Any clean bandage such as a cloth or a folded handkerchief, will do for a ¢old compress application. Put the material in cold water, wring it out--not very dry--and put ft the neck. Over this place a plece of flannel and pin it in order to insure its posftion. [Under no eir- cumstances allow the cold air to penetrate the bandage or the neck, [A | for this fis apt to make the sore throat much worse. Simple Home Remedies, re use of plain table salt and hot water is very excellent for a sore throat. The salt, a teaspoonful to every glass, should be dissolved In hot water. This should then be allowed to: cool and approach the tempera- ture which your throat can bear and gargled. Throw the head way back when you gargle, so that the solution can penetrate as far down the throat as possible. It your throat is very sore it may even be advisable to swallow hot salt water. This is soothing and at the same time It is an irritant. Hot salt water may even be made a dally ap- plication for the throat. In this capacity it acts as a preventive of sore throats. The salt water acts, moreover, as an astringent, whether applied daily or only at special times. It thus draws the lining of the throat together, has healing qualities and is a cleasser. The throat very often. becomes sore from the presence of ditt or other irritating particles, In thie event hot salt water is not as good as dllluted vinegar, which should al- #0 be hot. Vinegar, like salt, has as- tringent qualities, and, therefore, a healing effect. It is to be gargied only. Consult Your Doctor. It is always wise for a person who is subject to sore throat to keep aloof from others. Sore throats are nests of bacteria and other conta- gions.
