Such unfortunate publicity tends to defeat the efforts of nutritionists and physicians to educate the public about the importance of the various fruits and other foods that go to make up our diet.

Over long periods these indices reflect the totality of commodity price changes, but they often lag in revealing price trends over periods of less than a year. For daily distribution by the United Press, a more responsive index is compiled by Dun & Bradstreet from the spot prices of 30 basic commodities.

It was the sort of day when a young man's thoughts turn to the contemplation of Nature's simple beauty. A student, weighty with books yet light with joy and good feeling, smiled at a little, rosy-checked lass who was patting the snow with her red-mittened hands. The sweet innocence on her round face made him wistful, and for a moment he lost his carefree look. But to show...
