governments, sent the following cablegram to the United States Food

perative necessity compes NJ e to cable you lin this blunt way.
mo me knows better than / that the American people, regardless of
national and individual sacrifice, have so far refused nothing that is needed
for the war, but it now lies with America to decide whether Of not the allies
in Europe shall have enough bread to hold out until the United States is

an epidemic of measles was raging and
she finally succumbed to the disease.
All went well, however, and at the
end of fortnight she was quite able to
return to school. But the mere sug-
gestion of, going back to school was
received with CONSERVATION. Peggy
didn't want to return; in fact, she was
panicky over the thought.
"Why is it, Peggy, that you don't
want to go back to schools" questioned
her mother.
Peggy answered: Because the
teacher is going to burn me up in the
furnace"

emit And Peggy said:
