MEAT TOKENS MISLAID The Ration Administration has is- sued' an appeal to housewives to bring out those evidently forgotten meat tokens and u^ them intead of cashing a coupon each time they vi- sit the butteher shop. During the recent survey it was discovered that toke<ns are disappearing and the Ra- tion Adiministration believes the hiding place is chiefly in Jiandbags and on pantry shelves or in kitchen table drawers. The disappearance is creating a problem in that many small dealers find theipselves short of tokens vAen they want ooapoiA! to replenish stocks.

She leaped io a stool, and from that point of vantage, saw the cat dart across the floor and make a flying leap after the fleeing rodent, and cau^t it, too, with its left front paw.
