canned meat Fluid milk per cent

more non-fat dry milk and more

fruit-about 20 per cent fewer, but
1900 per cent more canned orange

Frozen citrus concentrate produc-

20 per cent fewer fresh sweet po-

berries-about so per cent fewer,
but about 200 per cent more frozen
strawberries.
Among other fresh items, we are
eating double our 1889 consumption
of avocados and 40 per cent more
lettuce. The trend toward more
salad eating is apparent in these
figures and, no doubt in the figures
of the salad eaters as well. American
men have discarded their one time
prejudice against salads apparently.
The statistics also explain why
calorie consumption per person has
remained about the same for the
14-year period while nutritive in
take has risen considerably. Protein
consumption is up per cent, cal
cium II per cent, thiamine % per
cent, iron 10 per cent, riboflavin "a
per cent and niacin 26 per cent Al
this means that the nations diet is
substantially healthier on the whole
and will continue to improve
thanks to continuing advances al
along the line from farmer through
professor and distributor to tn,
homemaker's table. And thank
also to our growing knowledge o
nutrition.
Americans are eating less of tn
fattening foods, more of the body
building proteins and protectiv
foods. Yesterdays diet luxuries ar
today's necessities.-AMY MARTIN

Teach Your Child to Write
Thank-YOu L tterS---NOw

giver of this present loves you. You
are important to him. He is inter

giving because you make up part

And being a somebody, you have re-

change yourself in friendship to the

Big words, know. And a parent
could never say them to a child. With
the thank-you letter, the child gets
the feeling. He understands. If, after
suitable time, the adult will an

while the correspondence need not

The child, too, begins to believe that
letter writing is a tedious business
without ever having tried it. Thus
he never realizes the pleasure of an
exchange of written thought. There
is truly thrill in a personal visit
in the mail box.
AS the child develops, what started
out to be the writing of only thank
you letters broadens into many fields.
He finds himself writing all kinds of
letters. And enjoying it. And feel
ing important when he receives one
in return. Life becomes more eX-

WE JUST RECEIVED letter
from a boy aged 9. Though pencil
smeared and written on tablet paper,
it is a perfect letter. 1t reads: Dear
Kay and Art: Thank you for the
game. How are you? How is school?
I went out to the farm and found
some rabbits. We feed those rabbits
with a baby bottle. Donnie Jones'"
say it is perfect letter, not be-
cause it came from a boy that l
happen to be fond of, but by analysis.
First, he thanked us for the present,
which was the primary purpose of
the letter. Second, he inquired about
our welfare and interests. (My hus-
band teaches school) Third, he in
formed us of his own activities, and
finally, he put in something of spe-
cial interest-the feeding of the rab-
bits. True he could have said some
thing like 'FYour loving cousin" but
boys aged do not usually declare
affection. 1t sounded more like DON
ME himself the way it was. What
more could one ask of any letter?
But it did far more than its con-
tent indicated. 1 am not referring to
how it warmed our hearts, or amused
us. 1t showed us that he was being
guided by an understanding parent
-coerced perhaps-into observing
one of the niceties of which the world
has increasing need. He was per-
forming one courteous deed which,
repeated occasionally, would become
a habit-a habit that would yield
rich rewards.
Amy Child Old Enough
Any child who is old enough to
receive presents is old enough to
write a thank-you letter, even if he
has to dictate it to his mother and
scribble accordion-pleated lines by
way of signature. The simple state
ment personally written by second
grader, "Thank you for the present
I like it fine" is pleasing to the giver
but it means much more to the child
1t lifts the gift from thing, which
he happened to get, to symbol Of
friendship.
The present speaks to the child o.
relationships that an adult cannot eX
plain to him. 1t says in effect: "Tht

Wheat Prices Rise
As Buying by U. 5.
Creates Shortage
By The Associotsd Press

American grain markets are
witnessing the strange sight of
wheat prices going up in face
of a record surplus supply of
grain.
In fact, the surplus is large
enough to fill all normal domes-
tic needs for the grain well past
the middle of 1866 without the
harvest of a single bushel this
year.
Pointing out the paradox, the
Agriculture Department said to-
day it expects further increases
in price before this years crop
starts moving to market next
summer.
The reason for increases in
prices at a time when they nor
mally could be expected to con-
tinue weak or decline is that
Government price support pro-
grams have created a market
shortage" in the midst of plenty.
The Government itself owns
about 438 million bushels of
wheat acquired under price sup
port programs prior to the 1853
crop. In addition, about 500
million bushels from last years
crop have been locked UP, so to
speak, under price support loans
to growers.
AS a consequence. there is not
enough wheat remaining in reg
ular market channels to take care
of needs until the 1854 crop be-
comes available. The Nation
needs about TOO million bushels
year for its requirements, ex-
elusive of export demands.
Thus, buyers have been finding
it necessary to bid up prices in
order to get supplies for current
milling and other needs. The
department said prices for wheat
have continued to advance since
last october and are expected to
continue to strengthen.
Prices dropped to as low as
$1.85 a bushel nationally in the
fall. They now average slightly
above 50.
