Prohibition is three years old and naturally sticks everything it can get The figure is so big that it cannot be fully con- “ceived by any human mind. ‘ America is the country that introduced “mil- lions” and “billions” into the production of goods. “Millions” and “billions” cannot be imagined or pictured by the human brain. That is why none of us realizes the tremendous: productive power of the Yankee Giant, our country.

' DIET Children of rich parents are starving, because the food they get at home does not contain pro- per health-building materials. This is discovered by the school board at Bridgeport, Conn. It will take the undernourished, “poor little rich children” in hand and feed them milk and other’ foods to build up their bodies. It’s the kind of food we eat, not the amount, that makes us starve or grow healthy. A glutton, eating seven meals a day, die of starvation. smothers the fire.
