down. But that can soon be put
right, as you have had the sense
to come to me in time.

out prescription on q half-sheet

My Dear Nephews:
was fairly swamped with
Jingle poems this week. 1t kept
me up until IL O'Clock last night
sorting out the best and finally de-
Gliding which one should win the
first prize. wanted to give the
prize to every one that came In,
but of course / could not do that,
80 / used the best system that /
could to decide the winner. I de-
cided to select the winner by CIV
ing half of the credits for the sub
ject matter of the poem, and the
other half for the manner In
which the poem was written, and
/ decided that Lieutenant Rhea
Ravenberg, who goes to the Cen
trail avenue school, had done the
best.
/ cannot print nearly all of the
jingles today, but will try to print
some of the best ones next week
from day to day. I have given
honorable mention to Lieut.. James
Brendergrast, Lieut.. Eunice Billed,
Lieut.. Everett Stiles, Lieut.. Isabel
McFadgen, Michael Earls, Lieut..
Merlin Enright, Ralph Riden and
Orla Sines. Miss Marie Thomas,

some good jingles, but since she

Hoping this will win favor.

Away with the iced tea and salad,
Away with the lettuce and cress,
That food is too meager and pallid,
Too much of hot weather mess;
Away with the cold sliced tomatoes
Which recently fitted our mood;
It's time for the steak and potatoes,
The season for regular FOOD!
The brides are ceasing to chirrup,
The Panama hats on the blink;
Come on with your pancakes and syrup
And bring in hot coffee to drink;
For, be his work highly financial,
Or labor of body and legs,
A fellow needs something substantial,
So bring on your bacon and eggs!
In summer much less will sustain you;
You dine on fig or a prune,
But oysters are now on the menu
And life is livelier tune;
The blood in our arteries swishes;
We move with vigor renewed;
It's time for more nourishing dishes,
So bring on your regular food!

CAY M|-GAREME FOR PARIS

Paris, Feb. 27.-All Paris is agog
over the celebration of the Mi-Careme
tonight. 1t is the halfway mark in
the Lenten season and there is no fete
of all the gay fetes of Paris which is
celebrated with so much enthusiasm.
Then Parisians are still enthusiastic
over the Inauguration of President
Poincare.
The Mi-Careme festival comes down
to modern Parisians as historical
event, and it has undergone much
transformation, SO that today it is no
longer a fete of kings and their
courts, as it was in the days of Phil
ippe dOrleans, regent of France dur
ing the years of minority of Louis
XIV, or to go back further, when
Francois l., Charles TX, Henry III.
and Henry w. were the mi-Careme
heroes.
