Cincinnati — Sleepy Travis Zel- lis literally snored his way out of jail. The 28-year-old man had been given a 90-day sentence for steal ing. Soon after Zellis was incar cerated, however, complaints began pouring in from the jail staff. It seemed that Zellis snored day and night. He couldn’t stay awake on any job given him. He snored so much during the day that other prisoners couldn’t work, and made so much noise at night they could n’t sleep. There was only one way out; he was released—on probation.

Miss Virginia Wilson, nutritionist for the N. C. Agricultural Exten sion Service, says peaches satisfy the appetite, add color and flavor to a meal and are high in food val ue. When buying peaches, get them big enough to be meaty, plump enough to be juicy. Color should be creamy white or yellow without ELECTRIC MOTOR REBUILDERS 24-Hour Service ACE ELECTRICAL CO. 318 S.

Over-ripe fruit may be sweet and juicy but waste ful to buy in quantities that cannot be used immediately. There are white and yellow peaches in both the Clingstone (peach flesh clings to stone) or Freestone (stone pulls away from flesh). Both are delicious. In storing peaches, place in the refrigerator. Handle as little as pos sible; they bruise easily. Serve raw in salads, fruit cups, shortcakes, in ice cream, or just plain. They’re equally delicious cooked in pies, puddings, upside- down cake, cobblers, fritters, or broiled peach halves to go along with any meat dish. A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is. but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.—Pope.
