Eat q good breakfast to start q
good day is wise rule at any time,
but especially in q wartime winter.
Every active growing child needs to
break his fast with foods for energy
and body building. Workers on &C
tive duty on the farms, ia the fac
tory, or around the house also need
foods that will stand by until noon.
Office workers may not need so

from good breakfast including q
variety of lighter foods. Even elder.
ly people in the home often profit
from substantial meal first thing

Farmers Share of Milk
Dollar High, Study Shows

A new study of operating results
Of leading milk distributors in 80
states and the District of Columbia
shows that farmers and employees
of milk companies received 1887 per
cent of the milk dollar. The figures
announced by the Milk Industry
foundation covered operations for
1941.
Average figures for the al firms
reporting showed profit of 2.12 per
cent after income taxes. Wholesale
and retail sales of milk were al
most equally divided with retail at
81 per cent.
Farmers received for their raw
milk 56.82 per cent of the milk dis
tributor's dollar while 22.05 per cent
went to employees for wages and
salaries. The latter figure did not
include administrative officers sal
aries which were IA of / per cent.
The balance of 1927 per cent in the
milk dollar went for supplies, taxes,
containers, maintenance, repairs
and other necessary operating ex-
penses.

Rugs and Worship Make
Kairouan Famous Site

Kairouan, scene of clashes in Tu-
nisia, is famous for rugs and wor-
ship.
Arab conquerors Of North Africa in
$40 A. D., schooled in desert cavalry
combat and knowing nothing Of naval
warfare, chose the desolate, wa
terless site of Kairouan on which to
build governing town.
Kairouan, in April, long has been
a festive city where thousands OF
visitors have gathered to examine the
years output of native weavers at
the annual rug fair. Fostered by
the French, prizes have been award
ed to the best weavers, while COM
petitive exhibitions of horsemanship
and large variety Of side shows
have given the event much Of the
character of the county fairs known
to all Americans. Jugglers, beg

Autos Move America

Approximately 20 per cent OF the
Americans now engaged in war pro-
duction depend on private transporta-
ton to carry them to their jobs, &C
cording to the Office of Defense
Transportation. It is the individual
responsibility Of every American
who owns truck or car to keep his
transportation working for him; ii
is also the duty of every serviceman
to help by supplying proper lubri-
cation and such replacement parts as
are available, and to educate the
war worker in the conservation OF
his vehicle. Based on ODT statistics
of 59, 900, 900 war workers and maxi
mum public transportation facilities
for only 100000 workers daily,
four out of five Americans engaged
in war work depend entirely on pri-
vate vehicles to get to and from
their jobs.

Interpreting the News


TIHE news of the day should be
interpreted in the light of spir-
itual reality, in order to Offset the
fear, encouragement, and depression
likely to attend the reading OF what
seems to be bad news, and also to
leaven the emotionalism that comes
from taking a merely material view
of what is regarded as good news.
For this spiritual Interpretation, so
greatly needed, one must have some
understanding of God, and of the
mission Of Christ Jesus. Thus one
finds ian interpreter, one among
thousand, to shew unto man his up
Brightness" dob 1929.
Each one has the spiritual ability
to interpret current events from the
basis of the allness and ever-avail-
ability of infinite Love. Whether the
news seems to be encouraging or dis
couraging, we can see that the strug-
gle in which the world is engaged
is a battle for the ideals of Christi
anity as opposed to the barbarism
of paganism, battle of truth against
error. And Mary Baker Eddy writes
in Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Up. 1907, Truth is
always the victor" The Masters
words on this point are forceful and
encouraging John 1897: Eye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall
make you Free"
That enlightened people are be-
coming more aware of the nature
of the struggle is evident in the unity
of action of free nations, in the
strength and foresight used in guard
ing the advances made in better ways
of living. There is more knowing
of the truth than is generally recog-
nized; and action of purpose and
determination to maintain the STAN
dards of liberty are evidence of the
unfolding of the ideals of Christian
ity. -.
Rightly to interpret the world
news we must understand God to be
infinite divine Principle, Love, and
Truth. He made the real universe.
Creation is governed by His I'M
changeable law. Ignorance of His
law, or disobedience to it, results in
fear, defeat, struggle, reversal, and
despair. The effect of ignorance or
disobedience does not always appear
at once. As the Psalmist says (37:
IS, 36): 81 have seen the wicked in
great power, and spreading himself
like green bay tree. Yet>he passed
away, and, 10, he was not: yea, l
sought him, but he could not be
found"

V-Mail Has Advantage;
1t Can Hardly Get Lost

A striking example of how V-Mail
has come to be known as the safest
method of transmitting mail over
seas in war time was revealed by
the army postal service.
Recently, with winter weather con-
ditions preventing regular west
bound airplane flights between the
British Isles and the United States,
it became necessary to dispatch
from England 70 rolls of film carry
ing 49, 200 individual V-Mail letters
on United States merchant ship.
A victim of enemy action on the
high seas, this merchant ship was
forced into neutral European port
for extensive repairs, and it was
impossible to make immediate ar
rangements for the dispatch of the
lis, 200 V-Mail letters to the parents,
relatives and friends back in the
United States.
AS soon as word was received by
the army postal service that this YES
sci had put into port for repairs, the
rolls of V-Mail on board were re-
processed at the V-Mail sending sta
ton in England and dispatched by
subsequent fast ship sailing for
the United States. This was made
possible by the system of numbering
each V-Mail roll and not destroying
the original letter until the film has
arrived at it's overseas destination,
which in this case was the United
States.

II one should, through ignorance
or willful disobedience, believe that
six and six makes thirteen, he would
in the course of time find his affairs
in sad state, and certainly disorder
would result II q nation held to such
q mistake. Inharmony is inseparable
from the mistake, lasts so long as the
mistake, and ends with its correction.
One of the mistakes that is holding
the world in the bonds of war and
disease is the belief that good is per-
sonal and limited, that there is not
enough good to go around, that hap
piness and satisfaction depend on
worldly possessions, place, and pow
er. Because of its wide accept
ance as having at least a semblance
of truth, and also because of the ten
acity of the error, mighty effort to
correct it on the part of those awake
to the great need is essential. Mrs.
Eddy gives the following as the rule
for this correction Science and
Health, p. 1927: "For right reason
ing there should be but one fact be-
fore the thought, namely, spiritual
existence. In reality there is no
other existence, since Life cannot be
united to its unlikeness, mortality"
We constantly reason with our
selves and talk with others on SUBJ
jects either purely personal or of
broader nature. 1t is quite as easy
to direct our thoughts and conversa-
tion to the constructive and confident
as to the destructive and despon-
dent, and it is far more profitable.
Knowing that God is present and all
powerful, we can be courageous, con-
fdent, and expectant of good even in
the face of evil reports. Right is
always victorious. Spirit never bows
to matter. Material so-called laws
become ineffective in the presence OF
spiritual understanding. Knowing
the perfection of man in Gods like
ness we can prove ourselves superior
to suffering, sickness, fear, and de-
feat. Thus are we the master of cir
cumstances and not the slave, and
no enslaving thoughts of discourage
ment, intemperance, or fear can bind
us, as we rely on God.
Wherever we are, and whatever
our part in the worlds struggle for
freedom, we have fresh opportunity
every day to reason correctly. What
ever the news may be, we know that
the real man is governed by the law
of Love, is free, and safe from harm.
Truth understood and utilized will
ultimately triumph over all evil. !.

Dehydrated Foods

Although canning and freezing
have been the most popular methods
of conserving foodstuffs in the Unit.
ed States up to now, dehydration
holds promise of superseding them
as means Of getting needed food
to the armed forces, allies, and &C.
cupied countries. Two and three
quarter million tons of steel were
used for canning in 1941. Although
savings are being effected in the
amount of steel utilized for this pur-
pose, even greater amounts can be
diverted to war uses by more ex-
tensive use of dehydration. If de.
hydrated, foods "click" with the
American people, there will be
'micro-stores" after the war, in
which small country store will be
able to hold the equivalent of TO-
days super-markets.

Counterfeiter. Made Good

In ancient times the very practical
Chinese, confronted with the prob
lem of what to do with people con-
victed for making counterfeit money,
decided it was a shame to waste
their talents, so they put them to
work in the mint making legitimate
money. Slaves were owned not only
by wealthy individuals privately, but
the government itself held many to
perform various services. The bu-
reaucracy of the government, inso-
far as minor functionaries was
concerned, was composed largely Of
slaves, rather than of the type Of
''payrollers" with which modern gov.
ernrnents are sometimes charged by
opposition parties.

Its A Peoples War

We are paying more in taxes
than ever before ). and likely
will pay more. But we cannot
rely ON taxes to finance the war.
It would not be fair to base a
tax on the average single fam
lily income when many families
have more than one income.
We could borrow all the money
from the banks, but for both
economic and social reasons
this is undesirable. The gov
eminent would then sacrifice
its greatest dam against infia-
ton. This is Peoples War
and the people should finance
it. The people WANT to finance
it. Sale Of War Bonds has
