“I'll give you my program for a typ

“The trouble with this count-y is

"I have a heart-breaking time with

Somewhere between the French at

a half-way point that would combine
the best elements of both.
“Life,” says the Bible, “is more than.)
bread, and the spirit t^n raiment.” It
also asks the question," “What shall it

'Or, in modem language, wbat's the
use of killing yourself by being quota

tomato
filling. Or string beans, bread crumbs,
shredded green pepper and onion.
Tomato, celery, and onion, with rice
or bread crumbs to give consistency,
make a good ftlling for stuffed green
peppers. Or you may use 'rice, onion,
celery and asparagus.
