FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIESâ€" No. 5 What 'Orange PeKoe' Means Many buyers of tea have come to ask for *Orange Pekoe' believing that it signifies fine quality. This is not, however, neces- sarily tlie case. In the trade 'Orange Pekoe* is only a name given to the first leaf below the bud or tip on any Indian or Ceylon tea bush. An 'Orange Pekoe' leaf grown at a high elevation usually possesses a very fine flavour. If, however, the plant is grown at a low elevation, it may still be 'Orange Pekoe' but also be of very poor quality. The consumer's only safeguard is to buy a tea of recognized goodness. High grown 'Orange Pekoes' comprise a large part of every blend of "SALADA " and give to "SALADA" its unequalled flavour. n SALADA" They Were Most Properly Ashamed A STORY FOR THOUGHTFUL PARENTS.

Tommy carried th? remainn to a I aecludod spot and criod. No mourner evtr wapt more sinceraiy. When th» flow of tearH stopped he was confront- ed with a big question. How could he atone for hib cHretesmiesrt? An idsu cam* to Tommy. He c»>'here«l a few of his c'.o.sert and choii'tst friends to- gether for a funeral. ! "We are now asscnih'ed together to preach the funeral of a load," Tommy informed the audience and then he told the stcry of the unfortunate ani- mal, not sparing himsf.-lf for the part hh had played. His concluding re- marks are worth recording. The boys and girls listened with thoughtful,^ serious faces. "You see, I didn't want to hurt him.j I just wanted to find out how n)any| different kinds of bjgs he would eat. Some folks say toads make warts on our hands. That air.'t so. And some! say they're ugly. Weil, that ain't no- thing. Ivots of folks are ugly, too, and] lots of them don't do as much good as toads. Anyway, toads are all right. Don't you evor step on them or throw rocks at them. And don't you girls scream at thsm. Thay won't hurt you." The youthful champion of toads made a deep impression upon his iin-jj tem-rs. This wa.s diw largely to the fact that during the discourse the dried remains lay in full view of the; audience. A suitable ^mall l>ox had been provided for a coffin. With the grave rounded up, Tommy produced a marker made from a white pine board. With the marker in place an inscrip- tion wa.s visible, the printed letters rather crooked but well done oil the whol«! "He Died for a Noble Cause." PART r. A diary found in a private desk re- vealed the loneliness and innermost thoughts of Old Man Townsend. He had been a quiet man, attending strict- ly to his own atfairs; a lonely man without relatives. He wished to be friendly but lacked the knack of mak- ing friends. Because of his wealth and timidity people imd misunder- stood him. Many had called him a mLser. Almost everybody had left him alone. In spite ol this neglect, the rich old man had risen to the su- preme height of unselfishness. He had given his wealth in an effort to stamp out that w^hich had brought him the greatest sorrow. His will provided that a handsome gold medal and five hundred dollars •hould be awarded annually to the person living in Mcadville who per- formed the most truly unselfish ser- vice during the year. All of his w«alth had gone to maintain this fund. "What you can see in these turtles is more than I can undcr.«tand. Now, Tommy, this is final! Don't you ever dare put anything in the rain-water barrel! Another prank like this and if you^ father doesn't take a hand, I shall." Tonmiy's heart beat joyfully. He did not hear hia mother's last words, but the tone of her voice told him the interview was ove Mrs. Feaster walked slowly toward the house. The instant the screen door banged, he bolted, ran across the back yard and a tew seconds later, was combing about in the hot and dJsty weed patch in an effort to locate the turtles. Mrs. Feaster knew Tommy would put no more turtles in the rain barrel ^^^ c^ssmm BS» PANTY.. FROCK FOR THE TINY TOT.
