''But why worry over something that

"Time enough to worry about IT

Mrs. Glowworm.
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. GlowwOrm, "you

Glowworm can, and If you haven't

"That's true" said Mrs. Glowworm,
"you haven't our light, have you? And
we haven't your wings, so after all, It
is pretty fair do admit"

Glowworm. "And you see, too, how
much happier you should be about the
name because you deserve It,"
"What do you mean?" asked Mrs,
Glowworm.
"You are called Glowworm because
you glow and give light-whereas
am just called it because l belong to
the same family. If there is any fear
about either of us ever being called
plain worms-it is 1 who should be do
ing the worrying. But l am not, no
indeed! There is too much else to do
in our Woodland and Marshland
homes. There Is fun to be had, and
there is fun to give others. No one
ever enjoys having us grumble-espe'

"Splendid," said Mr.. Glowworm
''You light the way. I'll fly. And Wen

The Glowworms came hopping and
flying along and at last they al
reached Fairyland. The fairies were
dancing and singing, and>a few little
stars were peeping out bravely in the
sky.
"We've come to give light for you

''That is glorious" said the fairies
And then they called up to the stars

Canned FOODS ARE SAFE TO EAT

tant. What Is important Is that the
story is not true. The government is
not going to seize any hOme-canned
foods.
A story related to this last is re-
port that the government Is contem-
plating a war tax on home-canned
fruits and vegetables. Careful inves-
ttgation here has failed to show the
slightest basis for this report.
Perhaps the most annoying report
that has been making its unpatrlotic
rounds Is the report that fruits and
vegetables canned by what Is known
as the "one-period. cold-pack method"
are liable to be unsafe as food.
For those who have canned foods of
this sort on their pantry shelves the fol.
lowing absolutely authoritative state
ment Is offered by way of reinsurance:

show any signs Of decay should not be

although experienced housewives often
make use Of canned fruits that show
