Lansing, Mich., Aug. 18.—What if
the price of meat is going sky-high?
We should worry and learn to eat vegetables instead/
This is the burden of a bulletin just
issued by James W. Helme, state dairy
and food commissioner, in which are
given valuable hints on how to get
along without meat. v
"Meat is not necessary for human
existence," says the bulletin. "The
public should learn at once what constitutes a cheap balanced ration for the
human animal. Two kinds of food are^wild animal' arenas, three rings and

.>    September,
September days again are here, reminding us another year is slipping by
as years will do, despite the fact that
Gwen and Sue are-just as far from Hymen's call as either were this time last
fall. The kidlets, too, wear faces sad,
for almost every lass and lad must now
give up vacation days and figure all the
different ways of having fun. upon .the
sly and not attract the teacher's eye.
And we who've worked the blessed year
regret to see the end draw near, for,
while we know not where it went,, we
haven't saved a blodmln' cent.
- To the elder heads who have lived"
through forty or more Septembers, the
month's memories are filled with thrills
r-ahd chills. Forty years ago; anyonte
who couldn't have^a-chill every other
day in September was truly out "Of

then hs.ed to find a comfortable seat
astride a»red-hot - stove - about* nine
o'clock every other -morning and sit
there, trying to keep from freezing to
death until noon., After dinner we
changed our position.' The afternoons
were, spent in the refrigerator, where
we reposed with a .chunk of ice .at one
end, a palm: leaf fan at the other, and
even then felt that we might burst into
flames at any moment. -The younger
generation has no idea of what it has
missed since science has eradicated September's chills and fevers.  .    !
The sun comes later every "morn that
each of autumn's days are born, and
too, with haste he fades away and
shortens every autumnal day. With
shorter days the clouds arise and throw
their shadows from the skies; we feel
a chill upon the breeze and note the
fading summer trees; Dame Nature's
robe grows sombre, sere, reminding us
Jack Frost is near.
