DAYS were very fun OF patriotic
II work q year ago. Rich and poor,
old and young alike. were denying
themselves luxuries that our men
might win the war.
But the pendulum swings again to
peace and happiness and society again
takes on its prewar brilliancy and the
appointments are becoming again
marked with daintiness and beauty.
There is no doubt that many years
will elapss before the days are as
oarefree as before the war ana never

"rhe Bureau of Chemistry has

the danger of fermentation in tanks
will probably be fully as great II
