More stringent ration of meat appears Inevitable. Major reasons for the meat scarcity are a sharply slackened production and large govern ment purchases for war purposes. rC r f ? ? o is at its best J when it's Iff FRESH J WE ARE NOW FEATURING "SWEET MAID" BUTTERMILK with CREAM ADDED COTTAGE CHEESE with CREAM ADDED AT YOUR EAST SIDE MARKET WHEN QUALITY IS THE FEATURED ITEM lL'i--.

Mrs. Elizabeth Fowler spent a few days last week in the hospital. She was threatened with pneumonia. I really feel this man makes unnecessary de mands. For one thing, he could marry a fat woman and in no time at all, married to a man like him, I bet she'd be honed down to movie actress specifi cations. But I am not surprised that he wants one young and healthy. Even so, I imagine she would be, as he says all women are "through" at 40. His letter was sincere, believe it or not, and repeatedly he ask ed that his name be kept con fidential. Which it is. The con ceit of the man was so utterly stupendous, it practically knock ed the wind out of me. Since considering it, I've wondered if he is a lone specimen or if there may be others of his kind. Which is why I've considered the letter worthy of notice. I do not con sider it worth a personal answer. But I confess I would like to get the reaction of other women than myself to this expression of bloated ego. Personally, I've known more women who were biologically conceited than I have men. But maybe this man represents a larger group than I think for. So, girls,' let me hear how you would answer such a letter. It will at least be enter taining to me to see what you think. And goodness knows I've a little entertainment coming after that epistle.

So I deserved the letter I got from a man asking my help in his search for a mate. Judging by both his handwrit ing and antiquated ideas, he must be a man of 50 or more. Yet his specifications for a wife are: She must be 25 or tnereabouts. healthy, energetic, smart, glim, and with no interest in movies. He doesn't Insist she have any money, but If she docs have this will not disqualify her. Regarding her age, and his, he says that womeq are no good after 40, but a man is just be ginning to live at that age and many a man can "kick up a dust" at twice that age. He said that Just In case no single girls ap plied, he might consider a young widow. So there you have this bar gain In husbands.
