Uncle Sam will take care OF his own

The Ants "ParasoI."

The so-caned parasol ants Of Brazil
get their name from their habit Of
marching along in single file, each
one with a piece of green leaf held
over its head. These scraps of leaves
are taken to underground chambers,
well chewed, and allowed to ferment
and decay in a mass, through which
the mycelium of a fungus soon begins
to run in white threads. When little
mushroom buttons have started to de-
velop the workers bite them off and
feed them to the baby ants.

you please suggest a simple menu for
a wedding breakfast? K.

Or, you could substitute creamed
chicken on hot baking powder biscuits
for the patties, and have cake instead
of waffles.
