When we expressed doubt that such action would work, he suggested sending a nice present We pointed out that such acts have been tried in the past, but didn't bring results. Then he got tough “How many Germans and Japs are there?” he asked. "Two thousand,” we replied, knowing that such fig- was astronomical enough for him Well, what we ought to do is to make two thousand guns.

Those statements no doubt were true, but we suspect that crime always will flourish until people learn to think beforehand of the sorrow and mental anguish which inevitably will be theirs if they overstep the bounds of the law. Even if they aren't caught, they have themselves to live with and must always be on the alert to pro- tect their secret crimes tt —— ——— Queer Custom of The Japanese (Continged from page one) in one of these pens in broad day- light.

Finally, completely nude, he began to look over every inch of his flabby, skin. It was plain to the dis- tinguished woman by this time, that he was not merely showing off his yellow body. but was also looking for some fleas But a million fleas would not have disturbed this Jap a fraction as much as his display of infantile nudism upset his white traveling companion Perhaps the psychoanalysts would say such instances, which have been common every where the Japs have tiled to police places to give better impression to tourists, indicate that the Japs have not generally advanc- ed out of the three-year-old stage. But it is obvious that it would be no shame to them to have the pants beaten off them.

Butler, home economics extension representative of Centre county Breads and cereals are one of the most important and cheapest forms of energy-giving foods that we need (every day. They also are one of the {best sources of vitamins B and G and minerals, especially iron. It is advisable to serve whole grain bread and cereals at least half the time or all the time if the money to spend for fruits and vegetables is limited Whole grain products contain the vitamins and minerals in their nat- ural form. The outer coatings and germ of the wheat grain supply that essential nerve and digestive vita. min B and iron for building blood Homemakers who have been ug ing whole grain products have de- veloped an excellent habit and should continue to follow it. How. ever, those who do not have the whole grain habit will do well to change over to at least the enrich- ed white bread Enriched breads, cereals, or flours look and taste the same as the old- er styles of the same products, but the enriched products contain vita- min B and iron. These essential food elements been added to the regular milled white flour to add same of the food value removed In milling. Enriched bread and flour are avallable at many stores today . .
