Food Value Of Milk.

4 quart of milk supplies practically
as much Of both protein'and energy as
three-quarters Of pound OF beef. or
eight average eggs. Proteids serve a
fuel, so do fats and sugar (also a part
OF milkl, but they also build up and
repair the muscular tissues Of the body.
The mineral matter contained in milk
is chiefly valuable for making bones
and teeth and other ply sioIogical pur
poses.

TODAY'S POEM
PREPAREDNEss-

We're mighty glad we're Twin down
 to Pohick on the Crick, We're ready for Thanksgiving an it
 can't come round too quick. Of course, we have our, sorrows, same
 as other people get, But they don't outweigh the blessin's
 we kin nention-not as yet. We haven't had our share of all the
 funds the nation pays \ Erectin' public buildins an improvin' waterways But we find the sun a-shinin' an' the sky a-bearnin' blue, Even though we pay more taxes than
 we really think is due. We know the cost of food is high, an'
 goin' higher still,
 But jees, the same we go ahead 'an
 labor with d will. If we van't join the banquetin', a-say-- in Happy days!'' We'll drink the water from the spring
 and eat the stuff we raise We have, our own opinions though we
 mix up the debate Till we have to get some lecturer to
 come an set, us straight The wheels of time more< softly
 There is music in their click, An we're ready for Thanksg1vin' down
 in Phick on the Crick.
