Today's Poem
BATTLE CRY OF THE MOTHERS


(By Angela Morgan)
Bone Of our bone, flesh of our flesh.
Fruit OF our age-long mother pain,
They have caught your life In the ma
TONS mesh,
They have bargained you out for their
paltry gain
And they build their hope on the shat
tered breast
OF the child we sang TO rest.
ON the shattered breast and the
wounded check
Q, God! If the mothers could only
speak,
Blossom of centuries trampled down
For the moments red renown.
Pulse of our pulse, breath of our
breath,
Hope of the pang that brought to
birth,
They have flung you forth to the fends
OF death,
They have cast your flesh to the cruel
earth,
Field upon field, tier upon tier
Till the darkness writhes in fear.
And they plan to marshal you more
and more
Oh our minds are numb and our
hearts are sore.
They are killing the thing we cher
ish most,
They are driving you forth in blind
ing host
They are storming the world with your
eager strength
But the judgment comes at length
Emperors! Kings ON your Needless
throne,

COSTS AND VALUES OF FOOD

1t is said that in a pound OF round
steak one buys one-third pound of
nutritive material; OF oysters, one
ninth; of cheese, three-fourths; of
prunes, two-thirds. Now, the energy
we use at rest or work or play comes
from the food we eat All foods yield
energy and most of them combine the
