WORDS
Words are mighty, words are living;
Serpents with their venomous
stings,
Or bright angels crowding around us
With heaven's light upon their
wings;
Every word has its own spirit,
True or false, that never dies;
Every word man's lips have uttered
Echoes in God's skies.—Proctor.

ICE-CREAM: 3 GALLONS PER
Did you eat your three gallons of
ice-cream last year? If not, someone
else ate more than three — for that
was the average consumption in
America—men, women and children
And as no well-regulated baby can
eat that much, the average adult
consumption must be even greater,
says the "Clip Sheet" of the United
States Department of Agriculture
(Washington):
"Ice-cream production continued
to increase last year, and reached a
grand total of 365,448,000 gallons
as compared with 348,046,000 gal
lons in 1928. Inasmuch as exports
and imports of ice-cream are negli
gible, all of the production is assum
ed to have been consumed. On this
basis, the consumption per person
last year was three gallons. Ten
years ago, the per capita consump
tion was a little more than two gal
lons."—Literary Digest.
