Knowing about them, understanding them, we are filled anew with ad- miration and respect for the Government which is working in so many different directions to aid those living under its protection. The Government maintains these services for You. This book tells how-you can use them. Rose, Mary Swartz. 1940 FEEDING THE FAMILY. The Macmillan Company, Atlanta, Georgia. Price $3.75.
