Uncle Wiggily and the Tarts
are you goLng, Tncle Wig-
Kily?" asked Nurse Jane Fubej
Wuwy, the muskrat lady, as she saw the
rabbit gentleman starting out of the hol-
low stump bungalow one morning.
"Oh, Just for a walk over the fields and
through the woods," he answered. "This
is the spring of the year, now,'you know,
since the four-and-twenty blackbirds Jump-
ed out of Old King Cole's pie. aud I want
to see If the grass and flowers have begun
to spring up.'
"I think it is a little early for them,"
spoke Nurse Jane.
"Well, I'll go for a walk, anyhow," said
Uncle Wiggily.
So the bunny uncle hopped on ami on,
sometimes using his red, white and blue
crutch,Nurse Jane had gnawed for
him out of a cornstalk, and again he would
carry it under his paw.

Pretty soon Uncle Wiggily came to the
palace where Old King Cole lived. He was
think of going inside, and perhaps play'.ng
* game of checkers, as he used to do with
Grandfather Goosey Gander, when, all at
once, the bunny nncle saw a lady looking
at him from the kitchen window
The lady had on a silk dress, all span-
gled over with red hearts, like a valentine.
And ou her bead was a cap and that had
blue hearts on, so she looked very pretty,
Indeed.
"How do yon do?" asked the lady of
Cncle Wiggily.
"Very well," he answered. "And how
are you?"
"Oh, not well at all," was the answer,
and the lady sighed sadly. "Oh, there is
so much trouble hare!"
"Trouble? Trouble?", asked lTncle Wig-
gily. "Why, then 1 came to Just the right
place."
"How Is that?" asked the lady, sort of
surprised like.
"Because I always try to help trouble,
or those who are In It l.et me see now,
I don't believe I have the pleasure of know-
ing you."
"Oh, you must have heard about me,"
said the lady, with a smile. "I'm In Moth-
er Goose's book, yoa know. Listen to this:
"The Queeu of Hearts, she made some
tarta,
All on a summer's day.
The Jack of Hearts, he took those tarta
And with thein ran away "
"I am the tj.ieen of Hearta," said the
lady, bowing politely.
"rieased to meet you," apoke I'ncle
Wiggily, with a low bow. "So that la the
trouble, eh? The Jack of Hearta has taken
the tarts away?"
"Well, no, not exactly," answered the
Heart Queen. "You see I haven't yet made
the tarts But, when I do, I suppose the
Jack will take them, and then there'll lie
trouble, for Old King Cole specially wants
them."
"Why haven't you yet made them?"
asked the bunny uncle. "If It says lu the
Mother Goose book that you must make
the '.atts, why don't you make them?"
"Because, In the first place," answered
the Queen of Hearts, sort of shivering like,
"this isn't a summer day. And, In ;he sec-
ond place, I dou know how to make the
tarts—that's the trouble."
"Well, that Is easily mended," spoke the
bunny uncle. "I can't make a summer day

out of a spring one, but I can ahow you
how to make tarta.'
"Oh, can you-and will yon?" asked the
Queen of Hearts, clapping her handa in
delight.
"f can and will." aald t'ncle Wiggily. "I
have often watched Nurse Jane fony
Wu«y, my muskrat ladv bungalow keep-
er, make them, so 1 ought to know how."
"Tell me," said the Queen, "and we'll
do It"
"You take flour and water and milk
and augar and a yeast cake and aplcea and
make a pie crust," aald the bunny uncle.
"Then you bake it In tbe oven after you
have cut It out in little round plecea, tome
with three holea In and aome Just plain."
"Oh, how lovelv that aounda!" cried the
Queen, clapping her handa again, "t have
all the things you need. Let'a make tbe
tarts."
"And when the cm at la baked lit tbe
oven," went en Mr. Longeara, "yon take
out two plecea of tarta, put Jam In between
them, preaa them together, and—then yea
are."
"Lovelier and more lovely 1" cried tbe
Queen. "Ob, I am ao glad yon happened
to come along. Now we'll begin."
So ahe and Uncle Wiggily mixed up tbe
augar and mice, and other tklngs nice,
making the pfe crust, out of wblch they cut
round, flat plecea, aome with three boles
in and aome plain.
"Oh. what lovely tarta they'll be!"
laughed tbe Qimrn. "lan't It a shame that
the Jack of Hearta must take them
. away !"
"Well, If It's in the Mother Goose b<w>k,
it can't be helped," said t'nele Wiggily.
"But when he takes these we'll make some

The Mouth and Breath.
The health and beauty of the teeth are,
of course, influenced by the generul health,
especially of the throat, mouth and gums.
The appearance of an otherwise attractive
set of teeth is frequently marred by pale
or uuhenlthy or diseased surroundings.
An excellent mouth and throat gurgle
that can be u*ed with much satisfaction
under these conditions is one made of
cholorate of potash. 1 yA drums; tinetureof
myrrh, 2 drams; alcoliol, Va ounce; ciuna
iuou water, (i ounces.
Little canker sores frequently appear ou
tin gums, especially in women. They are
usually caused by some gastrointestinal
derangement. Toueh the spots with a nit
of cotton 011 the tip of an orange stick
saturated with an astringent—tincture of
idolne is good—or a 10 per cent solution
of silver nitrate.
Fever blisters appearing on the lips, or
at the fissure of the mouth, are extremely
unpleasant as well as very unsightly. They
;iiv sometimes Induced by dental treat-
ments and cause considerable uneasiness
for l'ear that unclean instruments were
used. Touch them as devised above with
pure peroxide of hydrogen to thoroughly
cleanse them, then apply spirits of nun-
phon liberally. The appearance of the
mouth can be improved if the blister is
covered with liquid collodion.
No woman, however charming and de-
lightful she may be, can impress others
with these qualities if her mouth and
breath are not only uninviting, but pos-
sessed at the same time of an unpleasant
odor. In some cases, this condition is
distinctly local, and does not arise from
any constitutional disturbance. I am giv-
"Now we'll hide behind the kitchen
door/' said the Queen of Hearts, "and
watch the Jack as lie comes in to get
thern. I hope he doesn't take them all."
"Maybe he won't," said LTncle Wiggily.
Pretty soon, as the bunny uncle and the
Queen of Hearts were hiding, into the
kitchen came the Jack of Hearts. He was
a funny chap, with little candy hearts all
over his clothes atld cap.
"Ah I ha!" said the .Tack, smacking his
l.ps. "This is tart day. Here is where I
hare a fine feast I I'll get the Queeu of
Heart's tarts."
Laughing to himself, the Jack went up
to the shelf where tbe tarts were coollu#.
He llften one down and took a big bite
from It, aaying:
"I'll taate them before I take them
away."
But no sooner had he tasted It than the
Jack of Hearts dropped that tart, and, all
excited like, he cried:
"Oh me! Oh m.v! Oh Icewater and lem-
onade! Oh how my mouth burns! I don't
want any of those tarts! Oh, no," and
away he ran, not taking one.
"Why, that's queer," said the Queen.
"He should have taken those tarta. That's
the way It Is in the book."
The bunny uncle looked at the tarts he
and the Queen had made. He took a little
taste of one, and then I'ncle Wiggily said:
"No wonder the Jack didn't want them.
By mistake we have put red pepper in the
tarts instead of red raspberry jam! They
are as hot as a stove. Oh, dear!"
"Never mind," said the Queen, aweetlv.
"We'll make some more tarts, and this
time we'll d9 it right and put In the Jam.
Anyhow, I'm glad, for now the Jack won't
want to take the new tarta I make." And
the Jack did not. He had had enough.
So the tarts were made over again by
I'ncle Wlggllv and the Queen -right, this
time, with real jam—and King Cole ate
tliem and said they were fine. And if the
paper boy doesn't turn into a bottle of 'nk,
and make the fountain pen go swimming
with the goldfish. I'll tell you nest about

The general use of astringent mouth
washes is condemned, because certain tls
Mies require theui and others require stini-

showed that the constant use of astrlgenta
interfered for hours with the action of
