Grasping in their simple sweetness all

If no eyes of dreamy wonder beamed

What a miserable wildnerntsa this

So soon to join the multitude along

If there were no need of comfort or

Not a ray of real sunshine ever would
adorn the sky.

Their Food Valu Us In Wartime la
Seen by Conservara of Crop.
Washington. The humble peanut,

of the fixnl adndiilstrat Ion.
Tor peanuts make peanut butter,
which. It Is predicted, Is going to play
a more Important part In the dietary
as ordinary butter la conserved, lu line
with the food administration's milk
saving campaign.
Peanut butter has 2tl per cent of pro
tein, !!! per cent of fat mid "1 er cent
of carbohydrates and afTords a total of
2,filO calories per pound. Thus peanut
butter has a marked nutritive value.
Peanuts huve been forging ahead

An Important feiifurp of the eamit
