At least, govern ment authorities might be cred ited with enough romance and sentiment not to curtail this privilege until after Valentine’s Day. #6* TABLETS. SAtofL MOSS DWtff Drink Your Milk, Dear “Drink your milk, dear,” is a command or entreaty often heard in families where there are small children. Every one should have milk, fresh, evaporated or dried, in some form, and there are many ways to get the milk in the diet if one does not like the taste of milk to drink by itself. If you can’t drink your milk portion eat it in cream soups, milk puddings, creamed dishes, ice cream, hot chocolate, floating island, frozen custards, baked custards and nu merous other ways. Matrimony Vs. Romance Interesting facts were gleaned from questionnaires sent out by certain investigators in differ ent sections of the country, in which the husbands and wives were asked to tell how they rated each other after 15 years of matrimony. The replies show ed that nearly twice as many husbands were satisfied with their wives as there were wives satisfied with their husbands. Perhaps it all boils down to the different views men and women take of marriage. A man, it ap pears from the different replies given, considers his marriage a success if he can settle down to it in comfort and is satisfied with his wife if she makes him a good home and is easy to live with; while women expect marriage to be a never-ending romance and for their husbands to be always thrilling lovers.

Douglas Wants To Know Little Douglas Page, 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Page, was very much interested in watch ing the firemen at work when the | fire alarm was given at the Baker; | home last week.

It calls for the largest planting program in the nation’s history—the planting of 380,000, 000 acres, an increase of 16,000,000 acres over 1943. “This vast production program will require the efficient utiliza tion of machinery in planting, cul tivating, and harvesting the farm products needed,” says J. D. Blick el, extension agricultural engineer at State college. Although more new machinery will be made in 1944 than in 1943, it may not be available in large quantities when it is needed. Also, the quantity of new machinery probably will not be sufficient to meet the increased crop acreage and for replacement of worn equip ment. This means that it is highly essential to have every usable ma chine now on the farms properly repaired and maintained for use in 1944. “The machinery needs include in spection, checking, ordering parts early, repairing, servicing, and maintenance. The machines, both new and old, must be used effici ently. Efficient use may make it necessary to include in the pro gram some plan of sharing so that each essential machine will pro duce to its maximum capacity,” Bickle points out. Timely Hints For Farm Homemakers BY RUTH CURRENT “A good farmer must know more than a doctor, a lawyer, a mechan ic, or an industrialist. He must know soils, be a veterinarian, an agronomist, a botanist, a chemist, a mechanic, a forester, a biologist, and a horticulturist,” says Louis Broomfield—a farmer. It’s garden planning time. Plan your garden so you will have a continuous supply of a few vege tables all through the growing sea son. The green leafy vegetables are especially important, and it’s wise to have one or another of them from earliest spring up until freezing time. Dr. Hazel Stiebeling, assistant chief of the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics, says that as a nation we need to double our supplies of green and yellow vegetables. High on the list for food values are: tomatoes, cabbage, chard, kale and beet greens. All these are easy to grow. Other good vege tables for nutrition are limas, snap beans, carrots, green lettuce, spin ach and turnips. The old Negro cook would al Angel's Wings CAPT.

It was placed on the oven rack until thoroughly hot. The pie and plate cooled together, thus avoiding sweating of the pie and a soggy bottom. Whole wheat is a good food. For good nutrition, each person re quires one or more servings of a whole grain cereal each day. Whole wheat provides • energy for the body. It contains some protein for body building and repair.

LIMITED NUMBER BUSES TO BE BUILT BOR CIVILIAN USE War Production Board Sees Need For Transportation In Helping War Effort In permitting the manufacture of a limited number of buses in 1944, the War Production Board has given further recognition to the importance of highway trans portation in the war effort, accord ing to Arthur M. Hill, president of the National Association of Mo tor Bus Operators. WPB has set a tentative quota of 6,960 integral type buses to be built for civilian use in the next twelve months. Indications are that 1700 will be allocated for intercity service. Mr. Hill stated that more than 4.000 of the nation’s 22,000 inter city buses are over eight years old, the life expectancy of such ve hicles. Although highway buses are now carrying triple the num ber of passengers of any pre-war year, no new equipment has been made available for over-the-road use since 1942 and there is an acute need for replacements. Many buses are being driven 10.000 to 12,000 miles a month to meet wartime transportation de mands. Older models are kept op erating only because the industry has developed more intensified methods of maintenance, repair, and conservation. While the number of new buses promised the intercity lines is far less than the annual requirements in peacetime, even the limited quantity will help by replacing the carriers which have reached the point where overhauling and re pair work is impractical for de pendable operation. _ I Feeding troops overseas de mands great amounts of concen trated, processed foods. It takes 270 days’ supply of food, stored up in advance, for each man in over seas operations. SPEED HIS—OR HER—RECOVERY Have you a friend recuperating from an illness?
