Here They Will Sing You Their Songs—Sometimes

'Take Beauty for your bread:
Beauty's not far to seek;
When the soul is weak
-For want of being fed
Find it the manna given
In lovely solitude:
Find it in the precious food
Daily dropped from heaven.
Gather your strength and go
Where there is none to guard
Through meadows many -starred
'With whiter flowers than snow.
Look at the sea's ellipse.
On whose celestial glass
Pase and again re -pass
The .slant sails of the ships.
Walk where the hare has trod)
Taste where the moth has fed;
Take Beauty for your bread
=From the 'stretched hand of God.

MAKING SURE ,OF YOUR
MINERALS AND VITAMINS
Hello Homemakers! The Nutri-
tion campaign is under way. Once
again we, discuss minerals and vita-
mins. Why? First of all, because
85% of the women.at the last Red
Cross meeting we attended requested
it, and, secondly, because recent
surveys show that Canadians are not
getting sufficient: (1) Calcium; (2)
Vitamin B1; (3) Iron; (4) Vitamin A.;
(5) Protein; (6) Vitamin C. This
happens largely through lack of'
knowledge of food values— and sel-
dom through lack of money. Nutri-
tion experts have found that most of
us don't get enough vitamins and
minerals because we don't know how
to spend our food dollars.

Perhaps chief among the things
we learn from the pioneers is their
regard for the Sabbath. That day

it was observed. The shoes of the
