The power laundry can do it so much better, and it is such a relief to eliminate “Wash-Day” from the week’s work. ¶ We are in a position to give you particularly good service in this regard, as we make a specialty of private work, and handle more personal laundry than any other concern in the city. ¶ Our patrons include the best people in town, and it is only necessary to ask your friends in order to learn how highly they esteem our work. ¶ A trial will convince you of the many excellencies of our service which our modesty forbids us to bring to your attention.

Ltd. “Everything for a Building” 175 Notre Dame Ave., East Winnipeg, Canada * * * * * METHODS OF COOKING =Roasting=—All meat should be placed at least one inch from the bottom of the baking pan, using trivet or rack made for the purpose. Rub the joint well with salt and pepper, and dredge with as little flour as will insure a dry surface. Very lean meat is improved by having thin slices of fat meat, either bacon or pork, or its own fat, laid over the surface at first until there is sufficient drippings to baste with. The oven and pan should be hot at first, then gradually reduce the heat. Baste frequently with equal quantities of fat drippings and water. (For time see the table.) When done, remove roast to a hot platter, drain off the fat, add enough water to dissolve the glaze left in pan, and use this for gravy, either “au jus” or thicken slightly with brown roux. This is a method for all roasts. The time varies with the kind of meat. =Braising=—Braising is particularly adapted for meats that are lacking in flavor or are tough. A deep pan with a close-fitting cover is necessary. The covered pans sold as roasters are really braising pans, and owe their excellence to the fact that the two parts fit together so tightly as to confine the steam, thus the meat is cooked in its own vapor. The most stubborn pieces will yield to the persuasion of a braising pan and become tender, especially if a few drops of lemon juice or other acid be added to the gravy in the pan. Braising also affords an opportunity to render the coarse pieces savory by laying them upon a bed of vegetables or sweet herbs. Dry meats can be enriched by the process known as daubing. =Broiling=—Broiling is cooking by direct exposure to a heat over a gas flame or hot coals. The surfaces are seared by exposing the meat to great heat at first, thus preventing the juices from escaping. =Pan-Broiling=—Heat a cast-iron or steel frying pan to a blue heat. Rub it with a bit of fat meat till well oiled. Season the meat and lay in the pan just long enough to sear thoroughly, then turn and sear the other side, and continue turning often enough to keep the juices from escaping. Reduce heat and cook more slowly until meat is done. =Sauteing=—To saute is to cook in a hot, shallow pan with a little fat, browning first one side and then the other. =Frying=—To fry is to cook in hot fat, deep enough to cover the material to be cooked. Test for cooking as follows: For cooked materials a one-inch cube of bread should turn golden-brown in forty seconds. For uncooked materials a one-inch cube of bread should turn golden-brown in one minute. All materials not containing egg, should be dipped in egg and crumbs to prevent food from absorbing fat. The albumen is hardened by the heat and forms a coating. Cook only a few pieces of the article at a time, reheating after each frying. Drain on brown paper. =Utensils=—Iron or granite kettle, wire egg beater, and brown paper to drain on. Wire baskets are nice to have, but not essential. The fats used are lard, cottolene and olive oil. To clear fat after using cut a raw potato into one-fourth-inch slices and add to the cooled fat. Heat gradually and when potatoes are browned strain fat through cheesecloth placed over a strainer. If carefully strained each time the fat can be used repeatedly. =Boiling=—In boiling, as in roasting, the general principle is to subject the meat to a high degree of heat at first until a layer of albumen hardens over the entire surface. The temperature should then be dropped much below boiling point and kept there until the gelatine and connective tissues are softened to almost the point of dissolving. Let the meat partly cool in the liquor, and if the slices are served on very hot plates they will be juicy, tender and well-flavored. =Larding=—Use a piece of salt pork fat. Shave off the rind as closely as possible, cut the fat in one-fourth-inch strips, and cut these into strips the same width. With a larding needle draw these strips into the meat, leaving the stitches evenly distributed and in alternate rows until the whole upper surface is covered. =Daubing=—When the large lardoons are forced through meat from surface to surface the process is called daubing. CARVING To master the art of carving one must understand the anatomy of the meat to be carved. The carver should insist upon having a sharp knife, a large platter, and sufficient space to move his arms. =Whole Fish=—The carving of fish is extremely simple. Run the knife the whole-length of the back fin, then cut from the back fin to the middle of the fish; the flesh may then be separated from the bone. When one side is served, turn the fish over and carve the other side the same way. The centre of the fish is considered the best, as it is the fattest portion. The meat around the head and neck is decidedly gelatinous. Medium-sized fish like mackerel, salmon trout, and so forth, are cut through the bone, thus giving a piece of fish on either side of the backbone for each serving. =Beef=—For carving roast beef, a long, broad-bladed knife is required. Always cut across the grain of the meat; never with the grain. The joint of the beef known as the porterhouse roast or sirloin roast consists of the sirloin, the tenderloin, and the flank. The flank is tough, and if roasted, with the meat, is generally used for some made dish, such as croquettes, or hashed meat on toast; it is seldom carved at the table. The =tenderloin= and =sirloin= must be carved against the grain. Cut thin slices parallel with the vertebrae, then cut close to the backbone, thus separating the slices. Rib roasts are carved the same way as the sirloin. =Rolled Ribs= and round of beef are carved in round slices as thin as possible, each slice having considerable fat mixed with the lean. =Beef Steaks= are carved across the grain. =Sirloin Steak=—Cut slices at right angles to the vertebrae in both the sirloin and the tenderloin, then separate. LAMB AND MUTTON =A Leg of Mutton= is considered by many the most difficult piece of meat to serve. If the hip bone is removed, the carving of this joint is simple, but it is usually left in. Place the leg on the platter, with the skin side next to the platter. Carve from the hip bone across the leg; these will be the largest slices as they come from the part of the joint which has the most meat. The portions near the knuckle are to be served in the same way; they will not be so rare as the thicker slices. Chops may be cut from the upper part of the leg. * * * * * _MODERN DENTISTRY_ =_DR. P. J._= =_GALLAGHER_= —— _SUITE 3_ _327 Portage Avenue_ _WINNIPEG_ —— _TELEPHONE MAIN 7929_ * * * * * =Fore Quarter of Mutton or Lamb=—Remove the fore leg and the shoulder, then separate the rib chops. Every part of the fore quarter of lamb is sweet and tender, but the neck in the fore quarter of mutton should be used only for stewing. In carving the shoulder of either lamb or mutton, one must study the meat before cooking. =The Saddle of Mutton=—There are several ways of carving this joint. The fat, tenderloin, and kidneys should all be removed in one piece. The most popular way is to cut long slices parallel with the backbone, on the portion nearest the tail, and slices diagonally on the portion nearest the neck. =The Loin of Mutton=—Generally this joint is carved by merely separating the chops, but it may be carved in the same manner as the saddle of mutton. VEAL =Fillet of Veal=—This cut is carved like the round of beef. =Shoulder of Veal=—The shoulder is often boned and stuffed. In that case, cut through the meat from side to side. If the bone is left in, carve in the same manner as the shoulder of mutton. =Loin of Veal=—This cut is often stuffed, and the kidney is always cooked with the meat. Carve the same as the sirloin of beef, in large, thin slices. PORK =Pork Spare Ribs=—Serve one rib to each person. =Loin of Pork=—Chops may be carved and served, or the roast may be carved exactly like the sirloin of beef. =Roast Ham=—Cut through the meat to the bone, using the portion nearest the knuckle first. Ham should be cut in very thin slices. =Tongue=—The small end of the tongue is inferior to the thicker portion. Cut slices crosswise of the tongue and serve a slice from both portions to each person. =Roast Pig=—Place the head of the pig at the right hand of the carver. Cut off the ears, then the head; cut the head in halves. Cut the whole length of the backbone, dividing the creature in two pieces. Cut off the leg of one half, then separate the shoulder from the body. Carve the ribs and loin at right angles with the backbone. Cut the other half in the same way. Young pig is very tender and the bones are soft, so carving is an easy matter. POULTRY AND GAME =To Carve Poultry=—Place the bird on the platter with the head to the left and the side toward the carver. Insert the fork across the centre of the breastbone. Remove the wing, then the leg, then the side bone between leg and body. Cut slices from the breastbone to place from which wing was removed. Remove wishbone by cutting from end of breast to the left of the wing joint. Make an incision to the right of breastbone for removing stuffing. Remove fork from breastbone and cut the leg in small portions. Serve a slice of the light and a slice of dark meat to each person. Serve one side of the bird before carving the other side. * * * * * “IDEAL” Fireless Cook-Stove MADE IN ONE, TWO AND THREE COMPARTMENTS TEN SIZES [Illustration: fireless cook stove, No. 13, Style “A”] Roasts Stews Bakes Fries Steams Boils Separate lids for each compartment— Steam valve— Water sealed top— Pure aluminum lining— Seamless cooking compartments— Pure aluminum utensils— Special formula, strata-laid insulation— Beautifully finished vulcanized solid oak cabinet.

SOME PEOPLE have an idea that fireless cookstoves are only good for boiling potatoes, soup, cereals, etc. TO COOK all your meals in a tempting, appetizing manner without fire may seem impossible to you. But it’s the simplest thing in the world. To lock up an entire, uncooked meal in shining, seamless pure aluminum wells, forget all about it for hours, and when meal time comes, to find it piping hot, deliciously savory and tasty, ready to serve, seems like a fairy tale. Yet thousands of women are cooking this way. They shop, read, visit or sew—whatever fancy dictates, while other women stand over hot stoves, with faces like beets, stirring, turning, basting, frying, etc. The food is wasted, often burned, fuel bills run up, nerves are on edge.

But if birds are small, serve one to each person. =To Carve a Duck=—Cut off the wing and the leg the same as for poultry. Cut the breast meat parallel with the breastbone, beginning at the side between the wing joint and the thigh. =To Carve a Goose=—Carve in the same manner as a roast duck, but cut the leg into several portions. =Grouse and Partridges=—These birds are carved like a goose, although sometimes the breast is separated from the bone and one-half breast is served to each person. Pigeons, quails and small birds are served whole, and generally on toast. BUTLER’S DUTIES A butler is generally given full charge of the dining room, as well as of the other men servants. He waits on the table at breakfast, usually alone; but if the family is large or there are guests present, he may be assisted. He directs the washing of dishes and the cleaning of the silver. He prepares the salad. He attends to the bell, to the fires, to the lighting of the house. He makes and serves afternoon tea and sets the table for dinner. He announces all the meals, serves the dinner, does all the carving. If he is assisted, he serves the principal dishes, and the assistant serves the vegetables and sauces. He is responsible for the safety of the silver, for the arrangement of the flowers and fruits, and for the proper serving of the wines. He has full charge of all refreshments served in the evening, and is responsible for the locking of the house at night. He alternates with the footman or waitress in answering the bell in the evening. DINNERS AND LUNCHEONS A formal dinner generally consists of ten courses, but may be eight or twelve. In order to have one harmonious whole, the different courses must blend well with each other. Avoid repetition; if oysters appear in the first course, they must not appear again. Observe these two points particularly in arranging the table: First, have the table linen immaculate and without folds; and second, arrange the covers with mathematical exactness. The table may be square, oblong, or round; it must be covered with a soft pad, and then with the tablecloth, which should hang over the sides of the table at least one-quarter of a yard on every side. The selection of the guests for a formal dinner is extremely important, and the seating at the table so that all are congenial takes some time to plan. Name cards should be placed at each cover. Each gentleman should be given a card, on entering the dressing-room, with the name of the lady whom he is to escort to the dining-room, and the letter R or L, also on the card, indicating to the right or left of the hostess. When dinner is announced, the host with the guest of honor leads the way to the dining-room, followed by the other men with their ladies, and the hostess with the gentleman of honor brings up the rear. The guests all stand behind their chairs until the hostess makes a move to be seated; then the men push up the chairs for the ladies, each lady seating herself from the left of her chair. * * * * * =FERGUSON’S= =INVALIDS’= =PORT WINE= This is one of the best tonics known to science as an upbuilder of a weak system. Lots of people get into a run-down condition from overwork and too close confinement indoors. They go to a doctor, and in nine cases out of ten he will write you out a prescription for some drugs and will charge you $2.00 each time he calls on you. Take my advice and hitch your wagon to a star and jump in before the star gets the start of you; in other words, buy a bottle of FERGUSON’S INVALIDS’ PORT and you will not have to consult a doctor. After you have tried one bottle you will never be without it in your home. You can purchase my Invalids’ Port at all first class Drug Stores at the nominal price of $1.00 per bottle. ─────────────── TRY IT! ─────────────── W. S. FERGUSON, Manufacturer * * * * * The decoration of the table should be simple and low in design, and in the centre of the table. A small flower may also be placed at the right of each cover. Of course, the colors of the flowers must harmonize with the china, but otherwise individual taste should be exercised. The illumination of the table is most important. If candles are used, they must be so arranged as not to interfere with the guests and the shades so placed that they will slip down as the candles burn. If candle light is insufficient, try if possible, to have the lights come from the side rather than from above. The Cover—The place for each guest and the necessary plate, silver, glasses, knives and napkin is called the cover. Arrangement for Cover—Allow twenty inches for every person. Place a ten-inch service plate, having decorations, right side up, in the centre of this space, and one and one-half inches from the edge of the table. Arrange knives, edges toward plate, in the order in which they will be needed, beginning at the right. At the right of the knives place soup spoon, bowl up; at the right of the soup spoon the oyster fork, with tines up; the other forks, with tines up, at the left of the plate, in the order in which they will be needed, beginning with the extreme left. If there are too many courses to admit of all the silver being put on at once, extra silver may be placed at each cover just before serving the course requiring it. The glasses for water should be placed just above the centre of the plate, to the right, the wine glasses to the right of the water glass, in the order in which they are to be used. Place the napkins either to the left of the forks, or over the service plate. They should be so folded as to hold a bread stick or dinner roll. The name card is generally placed on top of the napkin or over the plate. Serving the Formal Dinner—The dinner may be served from the butler’s pantry, having each course arranged on individual plates, and placed by the waitress on the right side of the guest, with the right hand, and anything which is to be served with the courses passed with a tray to the left of the guest, and low enough and sufficiently near to the guest to be easily taken with the right hand. Served in this way there is less interruption to conversation. Or each dish may be so arranged on a platter or serving dish on a tray that the guest may easily serve himself. Served in this way, the waitress places before each guest a plate before passing the courses. At present the service plate is quite universally used; that is, the space in front of the guest is always occupied with a plate. When the waitress removes the course plate with the left hand, she places another plate with the right hand. In this way of serving, the tray, if used at all, is only used when the food is passed, not for removing dishes. Removal of Courses—When every one has finished, the waitress removes one plate at a time, beginning with the hostess or with the guest at the right of the hostess. Before the dessert, everything not needed for this course should be removed from the table; if there are crumbs, they should be carefully brushed with a napkin on to a plate or tray. After this is accomplished, place the dessert dishes from the right. While the dessert is being eaten, the finger bowls, filled one-third full of tepid water, with a slice of lemon or a geranium leaf or a flower in it, set on a doily on a plate, may be placed in front of and above the dessert plate. When the dessert plate is removed, the finger bowl is moved into the space. If fruit follows the dessert, the guest removes the finger bowl and doily from the plate and uses that plate for the fruit. If coffee is served in the dining-room, the finger bowls are not placed until after the coffee, but coffee is usually served in the drawing-room. * * * * * AUTO LIVERY Autos furnished for Weddings, Balls, Operas, Park and City driving.

The Informal Dinner The hostess serves the soup, and the host the fish and the roast. Vegetables, sauces and entrees are served from the side. Either the host or hostess makes the salad, and the hostess serves the dessert and the coffee. The cover is arranged same as for the Formal Dinner. The Formal Luncheon The table may be covered or bare. If bare, use doilies for plates and glasses. The arrangement of the cover is the same as for the Formal Dinner. Lighter dishes are served for luncheon than for dinner; entrees take the place of the roast. Soup or bouillon is served in cups. Fruit may be served for the first course instead of canapes. The hostess sometimes serves the salad and the coffee, but it is better to have all served from the side. The Informal Luncheon Like the Informal Dinner except that the roasts are omitted. When luncheon is announced, the first course may be on the table, and the dishes required for the remaining courses arranged on the side table. Seldom more than three courses are served. Tea, coffee, or cocoa are served throughout the meal. Garnishings It has been said that “what appeals to the eye generally appeals to the palate.” Use care and taste in serving; dainty service will make the simplest food most attractive. Never allow any food which looks unsightly to be served. Toasted bread, burned on one side, may take away the appetite, but toasted a golden-brown on both sides, with crusts off, and then cut in strips and served in between the folds of a fresh doily, will appeal to the most fastidious. * * * * * “The Evans Institute is unique as well as successful, having been designed and constructed entirely by former victims of drunkenness who were cured by its system of treatment.”—Western Workman, Sept. 1st, 1900. ——— THE EVANS GOLD CURE INSTITUTE TWENTIETH YEAR 226 VAUGHAN STREET WINNIPEG TELEPHONE MAIN 797 FOR THE CURE OF THE LIQUOR, MORPHINE AND TOBACCO HABITS AND NEURASTHENIA (NERVE EXHAUSTION) ——— Do you know of any one, either friend or relative, who finds that liquor has secured a stronger grip on them than they are able to shake off?

Every Mayor since 1895 has officially endorsed The Evans Gold Cure, also Ministers and Statesmen give us hearty support and encouragement, copies of whose testimonials can be seen in our testimonial book. The cost of a course of treatment, including board and room at the Institute, is one hundred and twenty dollars, which is twenty-five dollars less than is charged at any other similar institution. We will be pleased to communicate with you or any of your friends who care to have us do so and will consider all such communications in strictest confidence. NOTE—Failures and relapses of other treatments particularly solicited. * * * * * Parsley is always used to garnish meats. Meats should be skewered into shapely pieces before being cooked, and served on dishes to display them well. Steaks and chops should be trimmed before cooking, then broiled evenly on all sides—never burned. Rib chops should be garnished with chop frills. Slices of lemon, hard-cooked eggs cut in strips, chopped pickles and parsley are used for garnishing fish. Cold sweet dishes are garnished mostly with jellies cut in cubes, and candied fruits, red cherries and angelica being the most popular. Nuts and raisins are also used. Ice creams are garnished with meringues and spun sugar. Cakes are garnished with nuts and plain and fancy frostings put through a pastry bag and tube. Whatever garnishing is used avoid overdoing the matter; the simplest is always the most attractive. FIRST COURSE DISHES Canapes Canapes are made from white, Graham and brown bread, sliced very thin and cut in various shapes. They may be dipped in melted butter, toasted or fried. The slices may be covered with any of the following mixtures. Served hot or cold. Anchovy Canapes Cut bread in slices one-quarter inch thick, cut in circles, dip in melted butter, sprinkle with salt and cayenne, spread with anchovy paste, and sprinkle with a few drops of lemon juice. Cheese Canapes Cut bread in quarter-inch slices, spread lightly with French mustard, sprinkle with grated cheese and finely chopped olives. Or brown in oven before sprinkling with olives. Crab Canapes Cut bread in slices one-quarter inch thick, three inches long, and one and one-half inches wide. Spread with butter and brown in oven. Mix one cup chopped crab meat, one teaspoon lemon juice, two drops tabasco, one-half teaspoon salt, a few drops of onion juice, and two tablespoons olive oil. Mark the bread diagonally in four sections and spread them alternately with melted cheese and crab mixture. Separate sections with finely chopped pimento. Sardine Canapes Cut brown bread in circles, spread with butter, and heat in the oven. Pound sardines to a paste, add an equal amount of finely chopped, hard-cooked eggs, season with lemon juice and Worcester sauce. Spread on brown bread. Garnish each canape in the centre with a circle of hard-cooked white of egg, capped with a teaspoonful hard-cooked yolk. * * * * * _=LOZO=_ _The Lock and Key Man_ _The Safe Expert_ [Illustration: door knob with lock mounted on a plate] He can furnish you Keys to everything but your Happiness The Key to that will be found by following this book closely, and remember the old saying—“The Key to a man’s heart is via his stomach.” I make Keys of all kinds I repair Locks, Umbrellas, Parasols, etc. I sharpen Knives, Scissors, Tools, etc. _PHONE GARRY 4276 when you want some work done_ Phone Garry 4276 J.

If the flesh of the fish is soft and flabby the fish has been frozen or has been kept too long. =Fish Fillets= are the flesh of vertebrate fish separated from the bone and cut into large or small pieces. =Fish Force Meat= is the flesh of fish finely chopped and pressed through a fine sieve before being cooked. Garnishings for Fish Parsley, lemon slices, lemon baskets, lemon slices sprinkled with finely chopped parsley, chopped red or green pepper, potato balls, olives, hard-cooked eggs, capers, and mashed potato and mushrooms, cucumbers and tomatoes; pickles cut lengthwise and spread to resemble a fan; maitre d’hotel butter and watercress. Baked Haddock with Oyster Stuffing Two cups oysters, one-fourth cup butter, one tablespoon chopped parsley, one cup cracker crumbs, salt, pepper. Drain oysters; mix crumbs, melted butter and parsley; season highly with salt and pepper; sprinkle oysters with salt and pepper and mix with crumbs. Remove head, tail and bone from haddock; season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Stuff with oyster stuffing and sew. Place on fish sheet or strips of cheese cloth in baking pan, dot with butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, allowing twelve minutes to the pound, basting with melted butter, or after fish is stuffed, place in pan; cover with buttered cracker crumbs and baste. Remove from pan to hot platter; garnish with parsley and pickles, and serve with tomato, Hollandaise sauce, or egg sauce. Panned Oysters Melt two tablespoons of butter in hot frying-pan, add one pint of cleaned and drained oysters, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook in hot oven until edges shrivel. Serve on hot buttered squares of toast with strained liquor from oysters. Garnish with finely chopped parsley. Sauted Oysters Pick over, drain and dry oysters; dip in crumbs, egg and crumb, season with salt and pepper. Melt one tablespoon each of lard and butter in frying pan. When hissing hot, cover bottom of pan with prepared oysters and saute until a golden-brown on both sides. Drain on brown paper, re-heat in oven if necessary. Serve on hot platter and garnish with parsley, lemon and sauce tartare. Lobster To open a lobster, wipe lobster, break or sever small and large claws from the body. Separate tail from body portion by twisting and pulling at the same time. Remove meat from body portion carefully, picking edible portion from small bones. Reserve liver and coral if there be any; discard stomach, or “Lady.” Meat from the body of the lobster is the sweetest and tenderest but is often thrown away because of the difficulty in removing it. Break the large claws, or if the shell is tender, cut with scissors, and remove whole. Crush the tail shell and remove the meat in one piece. Cut the entire length of the tail meat and remove the intestinal canal. The small claws are attractive for garnishing and should be reserved. * * * * * Plumbing and Steamfitting ¶ Is there anything that can more surely make a Saint swear than poor plumbing work in his house?

Add crab meat, fill peppers with crab mixture, cover with buttered and seasoned soft bread crumbs, and bake until crumbs are brown. Baked Fish Clean, wipe and dry the fish, rub with salt inside and out, stuff and sew; cut gashes two inches apart on each side so they will alternate and skewer in the shape of an S or O. Put the fish on a greased baking sheet, or if this fish sheet is not at hand, place strips of cotton cloth under the fish by which it may be lifted from the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place narrow strips of pork lardoons in the gashes. Place in a hot oven without water; baste with hot water and butter as soon as it begins to turn brown, and repeat every ten minutes afterwards. For a four-pound fish the time would be an hour. Remove to a hot platter, draw out the strings, wipe off all water or fat which remains from the fish, remove pieces of pork. Garnish the head of fish with parsley or watercress. Stuffing for Baked Fish One cup cracker crumbs, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, one teaspoon chopped onions, one teaspoon chopped parsley, one teaspoon capers, one teaspoon chopped pickles, three tablespoons melted butter. This is sufficient for a fish weighing four to six pounds. Brook Trout Dress, clean and wipe dry and rub with salt and pepper, lay in a baking dish with chopped onion, mushrooms and parsley.

Fish au Gratin Three pounds fish, two cups White Sauce No. 1, one-half cup cracker crumbs, two tablespoons butter, one-half teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper, few grains cayenne, one-fourth teaspoon celery salt, two tablespoons chopped parsley. The fish should be freed from skin and bones and broken into little flakes. Melt the butter and combine with cracker crumbs. Butter a baking dish and place alternate layers of fish and cracker crumbs, moisten with sauce and sprinkle with seasonings, sprinkle buttered crumbs over the top and bake in a quick oven for ten or fifteen minutes. MEAT “Some hae meat that cannot eat, And some would eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit.” —Burns. Hamburg Steak a la Tartare One pound round steak, two ounces beef suet, one-fourth cup chopped onion, one-fourth cup bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Put meat through meat chopper, treat suet in same way; add finely chopped onion and season with salt and pepper. Shape in balls, roll in crumbs, and broil over a clear fire, or pan-broil. Serve on hot platter with brown gravy, tomato sauce, or Spanish sauce. Garnish with parsley. Roast Beef A standing roast is one with the ribs left in. A rolled roast is one with the ribs removed, the meat rolled and tied. The tip of the sirloin is considered one of the best pieces for roasting. The pan and rack should both be hot. Wipe and rub the joint with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Have the oven hot for the first ten or fifteen minutes to sear the surface. Reduce heat, add water to cover the bottom of the pan, and baste every fifteen minutes if a self-basting roaster is not used. Let the water cook away towards the last. After the meat is done remove this to a hot platter. Add one pint of hot water to sediment left in the pan after the fat has been poured off, place on a stove and scrape all the glaze from the bottom and sides of the pan. When it boils add a thickening made of two teaspoons of flour rubbed smooth with four tablespoons of cold water, pouring it in slowly. Boil well, add salt and pepper to taste, and strain into a hot sauce bowl. * * * * * MANY BUILD HOUSES WE BUILD HOMES Your ambition is to own your own home and incorporate in it your ideals of the home beautiful.

Rub meat well and let it lie from eighteen hours to two days, turning in the dressing once or twice. Baste meat with the same dressing, adding salt and pepper to taste. Serve “au jus,” as in plain roast. Fillet of Beef, Larded The true fillet is the tenderloin. A short fillet, weighing from two and one-half to three pounds (the average weight from a very large rump), will suffice for ten persons at a dinner where this is served as one course, and if a larger quantity is wanted a great saving will be made if two short fillets are used. Remove from the fillet with a sharp knife every shred of ligament and thick, tough skin. Draw a line through the centre and lard with two rows of pork, having them meet at this line. Dredge well with salt, pepper and flour, and put, without water, in a shallow pan. Roast for thirty minutes in a hot oven. Serve with mushroom or tomato sauce, or with potato balls. If with sauce this should be poured around it. The time given cooks a fillet of any size, the shape being such that it will take one-half hour for either two or six pounds. Pot Roast Four or six pounds from the middle or face of the rump, or the round. Wipe with a clean, wet cloth. Sear all over by placing in a hot frying pan with fat trimmings from the meat, and turning until all the surfaces are browned. Put in a kettle with one cup of water and place it where it will keep just below the boiling point. Do not let the water cook entirely away, but add only enough to keep the meat from burning. Have the cover fitted closely to keep in the steam. Cook till very tender, but do not let it break. Add seasonings after the first half hour of cooking. Serve hot or cold. Broiled Beefsteak Wipe with cloth wrung out of hot water, and trim off any superfluous fat. Place on hot broiler, which has been rubbed with fat, cook over clear fire, turning every ten seconds the first minute to sear the surface. Steak one inch thick requires six minutes if liked rare; eight minutes, if well done. Remove to hot platter, season with salt and pepper, and serve with mushroom sauce, tomato sauce or maitre d’hotel butter. Par-Broiled Steak Wipe and trim as above, heating iron frying pan smoking hot, and rub with fat. Lay the steak in the pan, sear each side quickly, then draw back to cook more slowly about four minutes, turning often. When done lift to a hot platter, add salt and pepper, dissolve the glaze in the frying pan in two or three teaspoons of hot water, pour over the steak, and serve. Beef Steak Two pounds lean beef from round, or two and one-half pounds if there is a bone, one quart of water, two cups potatoes cut in one-half inch slices, turnip and carrots, one-half cup each cut in one-half inch cubes, one-half small onion cut in thin slices, three tablespoons flour, salt and pepper. Wipe meat with wet cloth, separate meat, bone and fat; fry out some of the fat in the frying pan, cut meat into one and one-half inch cubes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Sear the meat in the hot fat, stirring constantly. When all surfaces are well browned, put in the kettle; cover and let boil up once, skim and then simmer for two and one-half hours. Add carrot, turnip and onion the last hour of cooking. Par-boil the potatoes and add to stew fifteen minutes before taking from fire. Remove the bone, large pieces of fat, and skim; thicken with three tablespoons of flour diluted with enough cold water to pour easily. Let the stew come to a boil again and cook ten minutes. Mutton, veal, or lamb can be cooked in this manner. When veal is used, fry out two slices of pork as there will not be much fat on the meat. Lamb and mutton should have some of the fat put aside and butter substituted. Boiled Tongue Three pounds fresh tongue, one-fourth cup butter, carrot, turnip and onion, one-fourth cup diced; one tablespoon cornstarch, bit of cinnamon, one clove, bouquet of sweet herbs, one-half lemon, one teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Wash tongue, cover with boiling water and cook slowly two hours. Remove from water, blanch in cold water, and remove skin and roots. Cook vegetables in butter five minutes, remove them to a deep braising pan. Brown tongue in fat and place on vegetables in pan. Add clove, cinnamon, and sweet herbs, salt and pepper; cover the tongue one-half way with stock in which it was cooked. Cover the braising pan and bake two hours. At the last half hour the juice of lemon is added. When tender remove to hot platter. For gravy add cornstarch dissolved in cold water to stock in braising pan, which should be reduced to one pint. Boil five minutes and pour around the tongue on hot platter. One teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or tomato catsup may be used in gravy. Roast Veal Six pounds of veal taken from the leg, from the loin, or from the breast. Skewer meat into shape; dredge with flour, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover top with a slice of salt pork. Allow twenty minutes to the pound, bake in a hot oven and baste every ten minutes with fat from the pan. If there is not sufficient fat in the pan, fry out some pork on top of the stove and use that for basting. Remove pork slices from top of meat one-half hour before it is done and brown. A gravy may be made from the fat in the pan, same as brown gravy. Veal Cutlets Choose only the tenderest of veal for cutlets. Cut meat from leg, shape either in individual cutlets or in one large cutlet. Cover veal with oil and let it stand one hour. Drain; cover with boiling water and simmer until tender, having only sufficient water in stewpan to keep cutlets from burning. Remove from stewpan; cool; sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, dip in eggs and crumbs, and saute in pork fat or fry in deep fat. Serve on hot platter with brown sauce, tomato sauce, or mushroom sauce. * * * * * _You will find it a Pleasure_ _to Shop at our Market!_ ¶ Prompt, polite service naturally go with the fine qualities of meats we sell.

Serve on hot platter with tomato sauce and parsley. Roast Mutton The leg, loin, saddle and shoulder are used for roasting. Allow twelve minutes to the pound, if liked rare, fifteen if liked well done, basting every ten minutes. To roast a leg of mutton first remove the pink outer skin, as this contains the strong flavor. Never roast with the caul left on. The bone from the leg may be removed and the cavity stuffed and edges sewn; or the leg may be roasted without removing the bone. In either case wipe meat, dredge with flour, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on rack in dripping pan. Dredge pan with flour, and if the mutton flavor is desired, place pieces of mutton fat in the pan, or salt pork may be substituted. Stuffed Lamb or Mutton Chop, with Spanish Sauce Prepare French chops. Cut through meat to the bone, making a pocket; fill pocket with mushroom mixture, close with skewer and boil. Mushroom Mixture Melt two tablespoons butter, add two tablespoons flour, one tablespoon finely chopped onion, half cup chopped mushrooms, one teaspoon salt and cream to make of consistency to shape. This is sufficient to stuff eight chops. Pork Select sparerib, loin or shoulder for roasting. Wipe meat, place on pan, dredge meat and pan with flour. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in moderate oven allowing twenty-five minutes to the pound. Serve with cooked apples in some form—apple sauce, apple jelly, or fried apples. Roast Little Pig Clean, wipe and stuff a three-weeks old pig. Skewer into shape; place on rack in pan; rub with butter, dredge with flour, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in moderate oven; when heated through increase heat; baste every ten minutes with melted butter, turning often to cook and brown uniformly. Cook from three to four hours, according to size of pig. Serve on hot platter in a bed of parsley.

Clean and wipe; cover with cold water; bring to the boiling point, and then simmer until tender, allowing thirty minutes to the pound. Cool in water in which it was cooked. Take off the skin, sprinkle with sugar, and cover with seasoned cracker crumbs. Bake twenty to thirty minutes. Decorate with cloves, garnish with parsley and lemon, and serve hot or cold. A more aromatic flavor is given to the ham if a bouquet of sweet herbs and one-half cup each of onions, carrots and turnips are boiled with it. Many baste the ham, when baking, with cider. Sausages Buy the best. Pierce several times with skewer. Cook in hot frying pan in hot oven, fifteen to twenty minutes. Many prefer to cover sausages with boiling water after piercing and boil twenty minutes, then brown in frying pan on top of range. Always drain on brown paper before serving. Serve around a mound of mashed browned potatoes. Roast Venison Lard a saddle of venison, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour. Place in dripping pan and baste with melted butter. Allow ten minutes to the pound for roasting. Serve with Madeira or currant jelly sauce. COOKING HELPS Salt toughens meat if added before it is done. Meat should never be allowed to remain wrapped in paper, it absorbs the juice. When grease becomes too hard, grate it and put it away in covered bottles; it is useful for macaroni. A recent addition to the list of savory salts is onion salt, which is now put up in shaker cans or bottles for flavoring use. Celery should be allowed to lie in cold water, to which a little salt has been added, for an hour before it is required for the table. This will make it very crisp. Take bread scraps before they have become musty and dry them in the oven. When thoroughly dry, roll to a powder or put through the food chopper; put into jars for breading, etc. To brown flour for gravies and soups, put a few tablespoons of flour evenly in the bottom of a baker’s pan, over a moderate fire, stir until it has become a fine amber brown. Bottle and keep for use. If you value your own and your family’s digestion, don’t serve tea with fish, the tannic acid hardens the fibre and makes it indigestible. It should not be offered with any form of fish, shell-fish or the articulate animals like lobster and crabs. Iced tea and soft shell crabs are a combination that should be avoided. * * * * * Meats of the Highest Quality If you knew the extraordinary pain we take to maintain the high standard of Quality in selecting our Meats you would insist on buying your Meats from— HUGHES & ROBERTSON 126 OSBORNE STREET The high standard of our meats have won us many friends.

In choosing a chicken for roasting it must be young. A young pullet makes the best roasting chicken; always buy these when possible. The end of the breast-bone should be tested, and if pliable and soft, you can depend on having a nice young chicken. These remarks apply also to turkey, geese and duck. Boiled Chicken Clean, stuff, truss and wrap chicken in cheese cloth; cover with boiling water, and cook until tender, below the boiling point. Serve on hot platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and garnish with oyster sauce. Allow twenty minutes to the pound for cooking. Braised Chicken Braised chicken is generally a fowl. Wipe, stuff, sew, skewer and place on rack in kettle with tight-fitting cover. Place six slices of salt pork on bottom of kettle, and one-fourth cup each, carrot, onion, turnip, and celery, bit of bay-leaf, sprig of parsley, one teaspoon peppercorns, two teaspoons salt and three cups boiling water. Cover kettle and cook in oven three to four hours, always keeping enough water in kettle to prevent vegetables from burning. When tender, brush over with melted butter, dredge with flour and brown in oven. Serve with gravy and vegetables pressed through sieve. Garnish with parsley. Baltimore Chicken Cut chicken in pieces for serving; sprinkle with salt and pepper; dip in egg and crumbs taken from the centre of the loaf; arrange in baking dish, baste with melted butter, and cook in hot oven twenty to thirty minutes: Arrange on a hot platter. Garnish with thin slices crisp bacon, parsley and cream sauce. Creole Chicken Cut a chicken in pieces for serving; season with salt and pepper. Melt four tablespoons butter, add one-fourth cup finely chopped onion, chicken, and saute until golden-brown. Remove chicken; add four tablespoons flour, two cups chicken stock, two cups stewed tomato, one red pepper finely chopped, half cup celery, and salt to taste. Replace chicken in sauce, and simmer until tender. Arrange on dish; surround with sauce; garnish with cooked macaroni and parsley. Chicken Fricassee Cut chicken in pieces for serving; season with salt and pepper, brown in butter or pork fat. When golden-brown cover with boiling water; add six cloves, a bit of bay-leaf, a sprig of parsley, and simmer until tender. Melt four tablespoons butter, add four tablespoons flour, two and a half cups water in which chicken was cooked. Cook ten minutes; add one cup cream or two egg yolks. * * * * * _MUSIC_ GIVES MORE PLEASURE THAN ANYTHING ELSE MONEY CAN BUY. OUR PLAN MAKES IT EASY TO PURCHASE.

Arrange chicken in baking dish; cover with strained and thickened stock. Cover whole dish with mashed potato or pastry crust. Bake until potato is brown or crust is done. Roast Chicken Remove pin feathers, singe, take out tendons, draw skin back from neck, cut off neck close to body, cut out oil bag. Make an incision between the legs, running from the breastbone down, and through this opening draw the entrails. If care is taken all of the internal organs can be removed at once, by separating the membrane inclosing the organs from the body. Draw windpipe through the neck opening. Never make an incision in the breast. Wash inside of bird with a cloth wrung out of cold water, removing all clots of blood. Wipe, stuff, sew up openings, truss, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, place on rack in dripping pan, and cook fifteen minutes in very hot oven. Then dredge pan with flour, reduce heat and baste every ten minutes until chicken is done, turning often. Allow fifteen minutes to the pound for roasting. Stuffing for Roast Chicken Two cups soft bread crumbs, one-fourth cup melted butter, one tablespoon poultry seasoning, few drops onion juice, salt and pepper, one teaspoon chopped parsley, hot water. Mix ingredients in order given. If a moist stuffing is desired, add hot water until of the right consistency; but many people prefer a dry stuffing. For a stronger flavor of onion cook one teaspoon chopped onion in butter and add to crumbs. Oyster Stuffing Two cups cracker crumbs, one tablespoon chopped onion, one pint oysters, one-fourth cup butter, one tablespoon salt, one tablespoon pepper, one tablespoon chopped celery, one-third cup boiling water or hot milk. Parboil oysters, dip in melted butter, add remaining ingredients and use for stuffing chicken, turkey or goose. Potato Stuffing Two cups hot mashed potato, one-fourth cup salt pork cubes, two tablespoons onions, one teaspoon poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, one cup cooked sausages cut in pieces. Cook the onion and the pork until yellow; add remaining ingredients. Use for stuffing chicken, turkey and goose. Roast Tame Duck Prepare same as chicken; stuff with chopped celery.

Some prefer to rub the surface of the turkey with butter and flour creamed together instead of dredging with flour. Selecting Poultry A chicken is known by its soft feet, smooth skin and soft cartilage at the end of the breast-bone, and the presence of pin feathers. A fowl has a coarser skin, rough square feet, a rigid breast-bone and long hairs. A young chicken has an abundance of pin feathers. Choose spring chicken for broiling; a young, plump chicken for roasting. Cock turkeys are generally better eating than hen turkeys, unless a hen turkey is young, small and plump. A young turkey should be plump, have smooth dark legs, with the cartilage at the end of the breastbone soft and pliable. Geese and ducks should not be more than a year old. The breast should be plump and firm, the fat white and soft, the wings tender, the feet yellow and the webbing tender. Young pigeons have tender pink legs, and light red flesh on the breast. In old ones it is very dark. Squabs are the young tame pigeons. They are as large as old birds, but soft and plump and covered with pin feathers. Grouse, partridge and quail should have full breasts, dark legs and yellowish bills. How to Stuff Use enough stuffing to fill the skin, that the bird may look plump when sewed. When cracker stuffing is used allowance must be made for swelling, otherwise the skin will crack when cooked. The small openings may be closed by a skewer, the larger one sewed with half a dozen stitches, leaving a long end for convenience in pulling out. SALAD Bean Salad Boil green or wax beans in salted water until tender; drain, and when cold slice an onion (little or much to suit taste) and pour over the salad dressing made as follows: (Dressing) one-half cup of vinegar, two eggs, one-half teaspoon mustard, two tablespoons sugar (scant), one-half teaspoon salt (to taste). Beat the eggs to a stiff froth, stir into them the mixed salt, sugar, mustard and vinegar. Cook in a double boiler and beat constantly while cooking until light and thick (this prevents the separating of the eggs and the vinegar). Stir in two tablespoons butter, and cool. When ready to serve, thin with cream if dressing is too thick. Cheese Balls for Salad Two Neufchatel cheeses, one tablespoon chopped olives, one tablespoon chopped pimentoes, two tablespoons chopped walnuts. Make into balls, putting one-half English walnut on each side ball. Serve on lettuce with French dressing. Cherry Salad Take large black-heart cherries or canned California cherries, white or black, well drained from the syrup. Remove the pits, without cutting the fruit any more than necessary, and replace with the meats of hazel nuts or small filberts. Arrange on lettuce leaves, and cover with mayonnaise dressing or whipped cream. * * * * * =Clark-Leatherdale Co. Ltd.= [Illustration: C L Co.

It Spells Success and Happiness The NATIONAL INSTITUTE employs all the means being used today in the many SANITARIUMS throughout Europe and this continent. It has thousands of dollars invested in equipment and the MOST ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC METHODS KNOWN for making various body tests. There is no pain or disease that cannot be benefited, and few that cannot be COMPLETELY CURED when treated by one or more of the means used in this Institute. In proportion, CHRONIC CASES usually respond to the treatment with equally as gratifying results as do the less severe. =SKIN DISEASES.=—This is a subject that has had a great deal of care and study given to it. It is a department that the National Institute has made very special provision for, in its equipment for the various kinds of LIGHT RAY, X-RAY, etc. Skin trouble of twenty to thirty years’ duration will often respond within a short time to treatment.

Caramel Pudding One pint milk scalded in double boiler, one cup brown sugar melted in little water, one and one-half tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in milk. Put in a little salt and pinch soda. Pour in mould and when cool set on ice. Serve very cold with cream and sugar. Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding This pudding is to be eaten cold and the following quantities will suffice for six persons: One pint of milk, one tablespoon of cornstarch, two tablespoons of sugar, two eggs (yolks), one-fourth teaspoon salt, one teaspoon vanilla, one-half teaspoon of butter. Beat the yolks of the eggs and add to them a little of the milk, then wet the cornstarch with a small quantity of the milk and stir the two mixtures together; place the rest of the milk on the fire in a milk-boiler and when boiling stir in the cornstarch, eggs, etc. Let the whole cook five minutes, add the salt, sugar and butter, and remove from the fire; pour the pudding into a pudding dish and when partly cooled, add the flavoring, stirring it in well. For the Chocolate One-half cup of milk, one-half cup of grated chocolate, three tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon vanilla, two eggs (whites). Place the milk and chocolate together in a small saucepan set in another containing hot water and cook until the chocolate is smooth and thick, generally about five minutes, stirring all the time. Add the sugar, remove from fire, stir until cooled and put in the vanilla, spread the chocolate mixture carefully, a spoonful at a time, over the cornstarch in the dish. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, add one tablespoon sugar and two or three drops of vanilla. Spread this icing on top of chocolate and brown delicately in oven. This makes three layers. It does not require sauce. Chocolate Pudding One quart milk, one cup sugar, two squares chocolate. Let come to a boil, then add one-half package of well soaked gelatine. Boil five minutes. Flavor with vanilla, and serve cold with whipped cream. Christmas Pudding Time to boil, six hours. One pound of raisins, one pound currants, one-fourth of a pound of sultanas, one pound of suet, half a pound of bread crumbs, a pint of milk, ten eggs, three-fourths of a pound of flour and same of citron and orange peel mixed, one small nutmeg. Stone the raisins and divide them, wash and dry the currants and sultanas, and cut the peel into slices. Mix all these with the bread crumbs, flour and suet, chopped very fine; add the grated nutmeg and then stir in strictly fresh eggs well beaten, and the milk. When the ingredients are well blended put them into a mould, tie a floured cloth over it and boil. When done, turn it out and serve it with arrowroot sauce. Easter Pudding Grate sufficient fresh cocoanut to fill a small cup, mix with it two rounded tablespoons of powdered sugar, the white of one well-beaten egg, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Last of all stir in lightly one cup of stiffly-whipped cream. Put a slice of angel cake on each plate and heap upon it some of the cocoanut cream. Sprinkle the whole with powdered pistachio nuts. Plum Pudding One cup of finely chopped suet, two cups fine bread crumbs, one cup chopped raisins, one cup currants or whole raisins seeded, one level teaspoon each of ground cloves, cinnamon, allspice and mace, one level teaspoon baking soda, one-half cup molasses, one-half cup granulated sugar, one and one-half cup sweet milk, one cup sifted flour, to make a very stiff batter. Grate the bread crumbs from a stale loaf, or use stale pieces dried in the oven until crisp and rolled fine. Put the salt with the suet, also the spices, then add the other ingredients, the soda last, dissolved in the milk. Pour the pudding into a well-greased mould or a three-quart pail, cover closely. Set this pail into a larger kettle half filled with boiling water; cover this closely also and boil three or four hours, adding boiling water as it boils away. I often use three small tins, putting one-third the mixture into each, thus preparing three desserts at once, each amply sufficient for a half dozen persons. The pudding keeps like a fruit cake, and may be warmed by setting the pail into hot water a half hour before dinner. Serve warm, with hard sauce or the following creamy sauce: Mix thoroughly while dry one-half cup each of flour and granulated sugar. Add three cups boiling water and boil. Whip with a Dover egg-beater one egg and butter the size of one-half egg. Pour the boiling sauce over this and continue beating for a moment longer. Flavor to taste, and pour over the hot pudding and serve at once. * * * * * _TO GOOD HOUSEWIVES_ Begin Right by Buying Choice Meats at ROBERTSON’S MEAT MARKETS _Purveyors of High-class Meats_ If you knew the extraordinary pains we take to maintain the high standard of quality in the selection of our meats, you would insist on buying your meats from ROBERTSON’S MEAT MARKETS OUR DELIVERIES COVER THE ENTIRE CITY _=Markets=_: 434 NOTRE DAME AVE. │ 1427 MAIN STREET Phone Garry 3364 │ Phone St. John 1465 Deliveries 8, 11, 2.30 and 5 o’clock * * * * * English Plum Pudding Mix well together one pound of smoothly mashed potatoes, one-half pound of carrots boiled very tender and grated, one pound of flour or bread crumbs, one pound of currants and one of raisins, three-fourths pound of sugar, eight ounces of suet, one grated nutmeg, one-fourth teaspoon of salt and three or four eggs.

The bride is charmingly attired in her beautiful wedding dress, and the bridegroom is pardonably proud on this great eventful day. Then the party give themselves up to a good time, and fun, merriment and good feeling run high. ¶“How nice it would be if we could keep some record of this happy event,” fondly murmurs the bride, looking shyly down on the plain band of gold on her finger. Then her eyes wander around to the ’phone, and another kind of ring enters her mind. “I’ll do it, I’ll ring them up” she says, and unhooking the receiver she calls “ST. JOHN 1026.” In response the bell rings merrily at the studio of HOWLETT & RICHARDSON, corner of Euclid and Main, the famous specialists in Wedding Group Photography, and in very quick time one of their experts is in attendance on the wedding party, and the memorable occasion is faithfully portrayed for all time.

ESTABLISHED 1882 DON’T WORRY _about the _purity_ of_ NATURAL I C E ] To the list of summer “don’ts” promulgated during hot weather as aids in keeping cool and in good physical condition, might as well be added one more: “Don’t worry about the possibility of contagion from the use of natural ice.” Scientific research has absolutely removed ice from the category of food stuffs which communicate disease. The Massachusetts State Board of Health has stated, after exhaustive study, that “there has never been found anywhere a case of typhoid fever the origin of which was traceable to ice” and the New York Commissioner of Health, Dr. E. H. Porter, said after his thorough tests that “natural ice from its very nature and method of production cannot be a bearer of disease,” and more recently that “there is nothing sold on the public markets of today less liable to convey disease than natural ice.” These conclusions are in accord with the findings of the Michigan Health Department, the Boston Health Department and other similar bodies and among other scientists, of Dr. W. T. Sedgwick, Professor of Biology of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr. W. H. Park of New York, both with world-wide reputations as bacteriologists.

Put the sugar in the water and let it boil, then put the quinces in and boil twenty minutes and then put the alum in. Spiced Peaches Select ripe but not soft peaches. For a half peck allow three pounds of granulated sugar and a pint of vinegar. Boil the sugar and vinegar twenty minutes. Put the peaches into hot water for an instant, and in taking them out rub the fur off with a coarse towel. Put them into the boiling vinegar, and boil until tender. Put them in jars or wide mouthed bottles. Boil eight or ten cloves in the vinegar, then put it on the peaches, not so hot as to break the jars. Two or three cloves stuck in each peach are not too many. Pear Marmalade Peel large, hard pears. Cut into rather small cubes. To each pound of the pears add three-fourths of a pound of sugar. Let fruit and sugar stand for a few hours, or until the juice has been extracted, then set on stove. To one dozen pears put six (or less if desired) lemons. Boil lemons until tender, squeeze out the juice and chop or slice the rind. Mix with the pears. Have a jar of preserved Canton ginger. Chop the ginger-root fine, add that and the juice to the pears. Cook until the pears become tender but do not mash the fruit. Do not cook dry. The syrup should be rich and thick. Plum Jam One basket California plums, juice of five oranges and rind of two and one-half, one box raisins. Chop raisins and rind of orange together. Cover plums with water and boil until tender, strain through colander, add raisins and orange rind and orange juice and juice of one lemon. Then boil all together two or two and one-half hours. Piccalilli Two gallons green tomatoes chopped fine, eight large onions, three quarts cider vinegar, three tablespoons black mustard seed, three tablespoons white mustard seed, one tablespoon ground cloves, one tablespoon ground allspice, one tablespoon ground mace, two tablespoons ground black pepper, two tablespoons ground white pepper, four pepper-pods, one tablespoon celery seed, one quart granulated sugar. Mix well together. Chop tomatoes fine and let them stand over night sprinkled with salt. Drain in the morning and then mix in the spices and boil until tender. One bushel of tomatoes makes this recipe about once and one-half. Relish One quart raw cabbage chopped fine, one quart boiled beets chopped fine, two cups sugar, one tablespoon salt, one teaspoon black pepper, one-fourth teaspoon red pepper, one teacup grated horseradish. Cover with cold vinegar and bottle. Green Tomato Soy Two gallons tomatoes, green and sliced without peeling, twelve good sized onions, also sliced; two quarts vinegar, one quart sugar, two tablespoons salt, two tablespoons ground mustard, two tablespoons black pepper ground, one tablespoon allspice, one tablespoon cloves. Mix all together and stew until tender, stirring often lest they should scorch. Put up in jars or crock. * * * * * ADAM HUNTER FAMILY GROCER SHER. 5013 PHONES SHER. 5141 948 PORTAGE AVE. — CORNER LIPTON ——— Quick Delivery and Personal Attention given to all Orders * * * * * ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR DYEING AND CLEANING?

Chafing Dish Delicacies The chafing dish is composed of the blazer and hot-water pan, set in a standard with a small lamp underneath. Some lamps have an electric attachment, but alcohol is the fuel most used. The best alcohol is the most satisfactory although many use wood alcohol. Every kind of dish which is usually prepared in a sauce pan or double boiler can be made in the chafing dish, but ordinarily oyster, mushroom, fish, egg and cheese dishes are the ones most popular. When preparing for a chafing dish supper arrange the chafing dish on a tray, have the lamp filled, and the matches at hand. A wooden spoon or regular chafing dish spoon and a wire whisk are convenient and really necessary utensils. It is well to have all the ingredients measured and neatly arranged on a tray. If butter is to be used, butter balls, each representing a tablespoon, are a convenient and attractive way in which to serve it. Light the lamp and have the water boiling before the supper is announced, then the compounding of the dish may be done quickly. * * * * * A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned The best of furnaces and all articles of metal material will show wear in time.

Portage and St. James - Phone Sher. 4312_ * * * * * The Story of Winnipeg By CHAS. F. ROLAND Commissioner of Winnipeg Industrial Bureau The story of Winnipeg is one of the most marvellous and impressive records of growth on the continent. It is in the famous Red River Valley and surrounded by good farming, timber and mining districts and extensive lake fisheries. Forty years ago Winnipeg’s population was less than 1,000, and the school attendance was only 35; it was but a post of the Hudson’s Bay Company, without churches, streets or railroads, and but a few years previously the Indians chased herds of buffalo across the prairie where the city now stands. It is now the railroad and business centre of the Canadian West. Twenty-seven railroad tracks radiate from it, and the Canadian Pacific Railway yard here, with its 135 miles of sidings, is the largest in the world controlled by a single corporation. Winnipeg is the chief central point of the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific railway systems—these roads having just built a Union Station at a cost of $1,500,000, and a magnificent new hotel costing $2,000,000. Five thousand railway employees reside in the city. The streets of the city are generally wide—the principal avenues being 132 feet—168 miles of streets are paved with asphalt, block and macadam. The land area of 15,138 acres has been covered by 246 miles of sewers, 417 miles of paved and graded streets—120 miles of which are boulevarded—and 496 miles of sidewalks. Approximately 250 miles of water mains have been laid down since the city’s incorporation forty years ago. In 1890 the proportionate assessment value of the city was $18,612,410; in 1900, $25,077,460; in 1902, $28,615,810; in 1905, $62,727,630; in 1906, $80,511,727; in 1909, $131,402,800; in 1911, $172,667,250, and in 1913, $259,419,520. Winnipeg is the wholesale and jobbing centre of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. It has 22 chartered banks with 808 branches in the Prairie Provinces. Bank clearings: 1900, $106,956,720; 1905, $369,868,179; 1906, $504,585,914; 1907, $599,667,376; 1908, $614,111,801; 1909, $770,649,332; 1910, $953,415,281; 1911, $1,172,762,142; 1912, $1,537,817,524, and in 1913, $1,634,977,237. The city contains 135 churches and missions, 39 public schools, with an enrolment exceeding 22,500; also six parochial schools with 1,200 pupils, six colleges of the Manitoba University, Provincial Agricultural College, academies, ladies’ schools, the Provincial Government buildings, Court House, gaols, chief offices of the Dominion Government in the West, fine City Hall, a free library—costing $140,000—two railway depots, costing over $1,500,000 each, up-to-date fire, police and water systems. The electric street railway operates 300 cars on 101 miles of city tracks and 51 miles of suburban lines. New buildings erected in 1900-1-2 amounted to $5,558,545; in years 1903-4-5, $26,187,350; in years 1906-7-8, $24,562,200; in 1909, $9,226,325; in 1910, $15,116,450; in 1911, $17,550,000; in 1912, $20,475,350, and in 1913, $18,357,150. These facts give some idea of the progress being made. The grain business of the Canadian West centres in Winnipeg and for 1913 the inspections were 150,749,800 bushels, making Winnipeg the greatest grain market on the American continent. This is evidence enough of the nature of the soil tributary to Winnipeg. In addition to agriculture, a considerable fishing business is done in the large Northern Lakes, and timber and mining enterprises are being developed on its shores. Winnipeg city owns and operates its own asphalt paving plant, its own quarry, street lighting, water works—including high pressure fire system of 300 lbs. pressure for fire protection. Winnipeg is now in a position to encourage manufacturers by affording cheap power. On the Winnipeg River a total of 60,000 h.p. is developed by the city, which is sold to consumers at cost of production. Domestic lighting is sold at three cents per k.w. hour. The value of the factory output is now estimated at $50,000,000 annually, which is an increase of over 500 per cent. in the past ten years. Over 18,500 factory hands now find employment in over 400 successful plants operating. Take this record in industrial growth and add to it the annual wholesale turnover of $150,000,000, and the enormous grain trade, handled in the city, making Winnipeg the central market and capital city of commerce of Western Canada. [Illustration: PORTAGE AVENUE, WINNIPEG. LOOKING EAST] FIRE INSURANCE AND THE SAFETY OF THE HOME The destruction by fire of the two great cities of the plain, Sodom and Gomorrah, in the year 1897 B.C., is the first record in history of a conflagration, and although the cities of Europe and Asia were again and again visited by fire, it was not until the great fire of London, in 1666, that serious consideration was given to the question of fire insurance. Dr. Nicholas Barbon, a son of Praise God Barebones, became the first promoter of fire insurance in England in 1667. In company with others, he established a business which he subsequently turned into a company in 1680, with the title of “The Fire Office.” Fire insurance is a necessity of our modern civilization. Upon it depends the welfare of the family, the safety of commerce and the stability of the state. It is form of service which, by cash guarantees, provides safety and confidence to commerce, manufacturing, transportation, banking and property generally. Vast industries, employing thousands of operators and supporting whole towns, testify to the confidence they place in the protection afforded by fire insurance. Without such protection capitalists could not meet the necessities of the poorer population for employment. Because of fire insurance immense undertakings are possible and large values are collected in one spot, to meet the requirements of commerce, where a fire might destroy them in an hour. Loans are made by the capitalist on property because the fire insurance policy stands as collateral between him and loss. Merchants sell on credit knowing that although the goods may be destroyed by fire, the purchaser will be able, because of insurance, to meet the payments. Created resources are the things that have made our elaborate system of credit a necessity. The manufacture and exchange of merchandise as carried on today would be hopelessly wrecked and wide-spread suffering would follow any attempt to conduct our gigantic commerce upon a cash basis. Our commerce has outgrown our cash and we must recognize the fact that in the integrity of our system of credit lies the stability of commerce and the state. It does not require philosophical insight to see that the foundation of credit is fire insurance and that without it our whole commercial fabric would be destroyed and the nation bankrupt. Insurance companies are of great value to the cities in which they locate their home offices, for not only do they keep at home a large amount of money that would otherwise be paid, in the form of premiums, to companies located elsewhere, but as their operations extend over the entire country and in some the entire world, they are constantly bringing in money for investment. The companies maintaining home offices in Hartford, Conn., a city the size of Winnipeg, have an aggregate income of about $100,000,000 per year. * * * * * To whip eggs well, they must be very fresh and cold.

The following hints are valuable to the family thinking of moving to another part of the country in preparing goods for shipment. The following articles should be boxed or crated, viz., sewing machines, bicycles, bookcases with glass, sideboard tops, mirrors, pictures, delicate centre-tables, writing desks, and all fragile pieces of every description. All bric-a-brac, china and glassware should be packed in strong barrels with a very liberal supply of straw or excelsior. Do not burden drawers with books, clothing or other articles, but pack such things in boxes. Small or medium boxes are the best. Very large boxes are not easily handled, hence easily strained. Chairs should be tied together in bundles of two where practicable and wrapped with paper or burlap. Bear in mind that household goods cannot be too securely packed. In marking goods for shipment, be particular to mark each piece plainly so there can be no going astray of any of the articles comprising the shipment. A reliable company can make a considerable saving in cost and inconvenience by having them take full charge of the packing, moving, storage or shipping, as they have a complete establishment for such business and ship large quantities of household goods in carload lots, have padded vans, and employ only skilled packers for the preparing of goods for either moving, shipping or storage. * * * * * Soda crackers are much more crisp if set in a hot oven a few minutes before serving. To prevent the odor of cabbage or onions, throw red pepper pods into the pan they are cooking in. When cutting new bread always put the knife in hot water first, and you will find that it facilitates the cutting. Flowered vases can be easily purified and cleansed by rinsing them out with warm water and powdered charcoal. A box filled with lime and placed on a shelf in the pantry and frequently renewed will absorb the damp and keep the air pure and dry. Freshen the house by putting a few drops of oil of lavender in an ornamental bowl, then half fill it with very hot water. This will give a very delightful freshness to the atmosphere. If our lady readers wish to keep a bouquet fresh let them drop a teaspoonful of powdered charcoal into the water intended for the flower stalks, and they will keep their freshness and perfume for several days, and look and smell the same as those just gathered. The charcoal settles to the bottom of the vase, the water remaining clear. * * * * * Security Storage & Warehouse Company Limited PHONE SHERBROOKE 3620-21-22 Moving, Storing, Packing and Shipping of Household Goods our Specialty All work done by competent, experienced men SATISFACTION GUARANTEED [Illustration: Warehouse C and Office: Cor.

Vincent The home must be made the most potent factor in the development of innocent childhood into responsible manhood and womanhood. To be this, a real home must provide not only food and shelter, but fun and recreation. The whole nature must be “drawn out”—the physical, the spiritual and the mental, which includes the imaginative that delights in amusement. We moderns have learned the philosophy contained in the rhyme: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Our ideas have undergone a remarkable transformation. The time was when all games but dominoes were relegated to the wicked one. We now see that dominoes is the one game that ought to be given to the Devil, so tedious is it, and withal having no interest except for the small elements of =chance= in it. This leads us directly to the law that should guide a parent in the selection of Home Games. All games of skill may be allowed, all games of chance are debarred, because the love of “chancing it” is the foundation of gambling, and the gambling spirit is the most selfish in the human heart. A man will rob his home to gratify his love of gambling. We must rule out whatever cultivates this spirit. The games of skill which cultivate the mind are many. Says Edgar Allan Poe, the most promising of American poets: “In chess the =attention= is called powerfully into play; in checkers it is the =intellect=—victory is obtained by superior acumen. Whist has long been known for its influence upon what is termed the calculating power, and men of the highest order of intellect have been known to take an apparently unaccountable delight in it while eschewing chess as frivolous. Beyond doubt there is nothing of a similar nature so greatly tasking the faculty of analysis. Proficiency in whist implies capacity for success in all those undertakings where mind struggles with mind.” In the list of home amusements the game of English Billiards is paramount. It has been called “The King of Games and the Game of Kings.” Its attraction never seems to fail. Other games have their day and then die out, English billiards retains its place as a permanent source of pleasure. The charm of the game lies in its gentle stimulation of mind and body, providing exercise without effort. It also tends to composure of the mind, or what is called “billiard temperament.” What a factor in home happiness this may be. The game itself is stimulating, cultivates a steady eye and true hand and teaches self-control. In thousands of English homes the billiard room has a recognized place. The billiard room is fast becoming a Canadian institution also. Where there is not space for a room the portable miniature table (size 3 ft. by 6 ft.) answers the purpose very well, and may be used in a room 14 feet long by 11 feet wide. THE SCIENCE OF HEALING WITHOUT DRUGS It means curing disease by securing perfect circulation of blood and unobstructed nerve action. This is done by intelligent and scientific manipulations for the purpose of removing impingement or obstruction to blood, lymph and nerve, thus assisting natural processes in their return to the normal. The science was originated and developed by Andrew Still, M.D., a doctor of the “Old School.” He was an army surgeon throughout the civil war and continued the practice of medicine until 1874. About this time he lost three children by the disease known as cerebro-spinal meningitis. Personal sorrow lends a mighty incentive to human thought and Dr. Andrew Still became a philosopher. He reasoned that the human body, so perfectly made and capable of performing so many wonderful things, must also have within itself the power to combat disease. The skeleton and human body were studied with an aim hitherto unknown. He saw that interference or obstruction to the nerves and blood vessels caused abnormal conditions; that disease could be cured by removing these obstructions. This did not come by a dream of night, but as the result of years of patient study. It was not until 1892 that the science was sufficiently developed to found a school. The growth has been phenomenal. At the present time there are eight strong colleges with nearly two thousand earnest students and six thousand practitioners, who are practising in every state and territory of the United States, in every province of Canada, in England, Australia, Argentine Republic, Africa, France, Alaska, Germany, Hawaii, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, Porto Rico, Scotland, Sweden. The body is kept healthy as long as there is no interference with its natural functions; as soon as these are interfered with, however, we have disease. We can plainly see that when a bone has been ever so slightly displaced it may impinge on nerves and blood vessels, thus causing the part to which they are distributed to have a lowered vitality and allowing disease to set in. A cold or a slight strain will cause a certain set of muscles to contract, an imperfect circulation to the part follows, and we soon have a diseased condition. The osteopath, by his trained sense of touch and his scientific methods, locates the deranged parts and reduces them to their normal condition. The obstruction being removed, the now perfected circulation results again in health. It is a scientific fact that the body has within itself the power to successfully combat disease, and that when the causes producing disease are removed, Nature will effect a cure. He employs largely mechanical means, consisting of manipulations. The method of treatment depends entirely upon the location and nature of the cause. He seeks the abnormal conditions and removes the cause—this may be a misplaced or a maladjusted bone, a contracted muscle, a shortened or stretched ligament or tendon. He uses the proper osteopathic manipulations for the relaxation of tissues, the adjustment of parts, the stimulation or quieting of nerves and muscles, and the liberation of blood currents, thereby allowing a free circulation and innervation of the affected part. Both acute and chronic diseases from infancy to old age are successfully treated. Neglect to employ the proper means at the proper time has been responsible for many cases of lameness, deformity, suffering and even death. * * * * * “_Ancient traditions and prejudices have cost many people their lives._” IN THE FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION OSTEOPATHY has broken down opposition by sheer merit—demonstrating by positive cures their drugless methods a complete success. The wonderful achievements of OSTEOPATHY have attracted many able physicians, but, as in all professional lines, some are much superior to their fellows. Seeing that the remuneration is much the same, why not consult the best. DR. G.

These appliances are now very popular and are becoming increasingly more so as they present the advantages of perfect cleanliness, freedom from excessive heat, ease of operation, and readiness for immediate service. The consumption of current for these appliances is very small, and housewives who utilize them claim that the increase in their lighting bill because of their use is far more than compensated for by the advantage gained. One of the great advantages of electric household appliances is that they may be connected with an ordinary lighting socket. This enables the housewife to use, in many cases, the appliance directly on the dining-room table, a convenient form in case of chafing dish, toaster, coffee percolator, teapot or heating disc. The most popular household appliance is undoubtedly the electric iron, without which no modern home is today fully complete. Whether the housewife does her laundry work at home or not, the electric iron is indispensable, as there are many delicate pieces which careful housewives hesitate to trust to the public laundry. Should the housewife have all her laundry work done at home, the electric washer is an ideal method to meet the demand, this appliance at small cost doing all the work hard of washing and wringing the family wash. In the line of electrical cooking appliances the electric range, on which may be performed all the cooking operations of the home, has now reached an advanced stage. The individual electric cooking appliances are, however, still more popular with the housewife and by their use may be prepared an ordinary light meal very quickly and with great convenience. For the tea and coffee, electric percolators and teapots are available which start operation immediately upon turning on the current, and prepare tea or coffee in a very few minutes. The electric toaster operates very quickly and prepares on the dining-room table the slices of appetizing golden-brown toast, in a manner which cannot be duplicated on the ordinary kitchen range. For general light cooking, the preparation of eggs, bacon, etc., the electric heating disc meets the demand perfectly, and this apparatus may be utilized for every form of cooking, it being a miniature electric range. For the social evening gathering, electric chafing dishes are offered which do the work in their field quickly and in a perfect manner. Looking away from the kitchen and dining-room for a moment, mention may well be made of the various household appliances which may with convenience be used in other rooms of the house. The principle of vacuum cleaning is now accepted as the best type for this form of household work, and here the electric current, applied to either the stationary or movable appliance, does its work thoroughly and quickly. In the bathroom or other apartment where a small quantity of water requires heating quickly, the immersion boiler renders effective service. For the convenience of the ladies, electric curling irons are available, and recently electric warming pads have made their appearance, furnishing in convenient form a substitute for the hot water bottle. * * * * * [Illustration] “Johnson’s Electric Cooko” (PATENTED) A firm foundation for a Happy Home.

Salt will remove stains from silver caused by eggs. Apply with a soft cloth. The effects of ammonia on vegetation is very beneficial. If you desire your plants to become more flourishing, try it upon them by using six drops to every pint of water you give them. Do not repeat this oftener than once in eight days, lest you stimulate them too highly. Ammonia is a most refreshing agent at the toilet table. A few drops in the bath will make a better bath than pure water. Ammonia entirely absorbs all obnoxious smell so often arising from the feet in hot water. A package of Washing Powder and a cake of Cleanser should be kept in every kitchen to be used freely on all dishes that require scouring and cleaning. Two pounds of alum dissolved in three quarts of boiling water and applied to all cracks and crevices will keep out ants, roaches and bed bugs. =Jewelry=—Many jewels require an occasional sleep, in order to retain their brilliancy; diamonds, rubies, opals and sapphires are among the number. They should be put away in total darkness now and then. The usual velvet or satin-lined cases are the correct receptacles. It is best to wrap them in jeweller’s tissue paper, then pack them in wool and lay away in air-tight compartments. A number of stones are seriously affected by fumes from the furnace, sewer gas, moisture and sea air. No housekeeper should be without a bottle of spirits of ammonia for besides its medical value, it is very desirable for household purposes. With a pint of suds mix a teaspoonful of spirits, dip in your silverware, knives, forks and spoons and rub them with a brush and polish them with a chamois skin. Care of Bathroom.—Plenty of fresh air and a generous flushing of pipes, using disinfectants every two weeks at least. Copperas is the best. Dissolve a couple of pounds of crystals in a gallon of water, pouring it down the drains while hot. It has no odor but will stain any clothing, and must be used with care. To prevent portieres catching under the door when opened quickly, screw a small ring (such as is used for picture frames) into the centre of the door frame and to this fasten a blind cord sufficiently long to reach to the bottom of the curtain. Put another ring in the centre of the door at the top, thread cord through and fasten to bottom of curtain. As the door is opened the curtain rises. Carpets in rooms which are seldom used are apt to be attacked by moths. Salt sprinkled around the edges and well under the carpets before being put down will generally prevent their ravages. Plenty of light and air should be admitted into the rooms, as moths favor close, dark places. Tapestry-covered Furniture—To clean this first brush thoroughly; then add a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of water. Wring a cloth out of this and sponge thoroughly, rinsing and turning the cloth as it gets dirty, changing the water when necessary. This freshens and brightens it wonderfully. * * * * * Prescription Specialists [Illustration: WHY?] NO SUBSTITUTES QUALIFIED DISPENSERS PURE FRESH DRUGS ONLY PROMPT DELIVERY AT ALL HOURS UP TO THE MINUTE METHODS BARTLETT’S DRUG STORE _Drugs, Cigars, Tobaccos, School Supplies, etc._ Agents for NYAL’S FAMILY REMEDIES EASTMAN KODAKS AND FILMS NYLO CHOCOLATES Cor.

PHONE MAIN 1648 135 HARGRAVE ST. * * * * * To Renovate Leather Furniture—Wash it with soap and water, and when dry apply a little vaseline, rubbing it well in with the hand. Let it remain till next morning, then polish with a soft duster. This treatment will prevent the leather from cracking. Coal that is kept in a dry and airy place will burn much longer than that which is kept in a close cellar, with no ventilation. When coal remains long in close, airless places it gets rid of its gas, and the absence of this renders it less powerful and more wasteful when burned. =Ice Boxes=—Few housekeepers pay the attention they should to their ice boxes. An ice box can be kept in perfect condition if it is thoroughly cleaned once a week, but twice is better. The box should be thoroughly washed with strong soda water, and the drain pipes should be washed out. An ice box should always be full of ice. It is the poorest economy to allow the supply to decrease, and if sufficient ice is provided the box can be kept at an even temperature, which insures the preservation of the food it contains. There are people who, from a false idea of economy, fail to get the best results from the use of ice and refrigerators. A common mistake is getting a small piece of ice every day or every other day, instead of filling the ice chamber two or three times a week. The small piece of ice cannot reduce the temperature sufficiently, and the result is that each new piece melts rapidly and the food cannot be kept. To darken brown boots and shoes that have seen their best days, rub all over with a piece of clean white flannel wet in ammonia. Do this twice, then polish with the usual brown liquid. They will look as nice as ever. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have been hardened by water, and make them pliable as new. To make calico wash well infuse three gills of salt in four quarts of boiling water, and put in the calicoes while hot, and leave them till cold. In this way the colors are rendered permanent and will not fade by subsequent washings. To brush silk goods use a piece of black velveteen about a quarter of a yard large. This makes a most satisfactory brush, removing all dust perfectly and yet does not injure the fabric. To keep ants, moths or other insects out of the pantry or closets, sprinkle the shelves and corners with sassafras oil, and they will soon bid you good-bye. Tissue paper should never be thrown away. Save it for polishing windows and mirrors, or for removing the first coat of grease from dishes previous to their immersion in the dishpan. Never use soda for washing dishes which have any gilding on them, for the soda will in time remove it all. Instead of soda use a little soap that has no bad effect. To take white spots from varnished furniture, hold a hot plate over them and they will disappear. For washing windows and mirrors, take a piece of paper and put a few drops of ammonia on it. This will readily take off all finger marks on the glass. A Paint-Stained Dress—If you happen to get wet paint on your dress, rub the dress with another piece of the same goods and the stain will entirely disappear. You can use another piece of the same garment. What happens to the paint is hard to say, but it certainly disappears. * * * * * Freez-O Refrigerator Keeps Food Fresh and pays for itself while you are using it [Illustration: 39 in. wide, 22 in. deep, 46 in. high] SOLID OAK, heavy galvanized lining white enameled, solid brass locks and hinges, all polished, will not tarnish; door edges are felted to prevent any leakage and insures a uniform temperature.

Blue ointment and kerosene mixed in equal proportions and applied to the bedstead is an unfailing remedy for bedbugs, as a coat of whitewash is for a log house. To prevent flannels from turning yellow, lay pieces of white wax in the folds of white flannel or Swiss muslin. To remove ink stains apply lemon juice and salt and lay the articles in the sun. To take spots from wash goods, rub them well with the yolk of an egg before washing. Salt and beeswax will make rusty flatirons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a bag and keep it for the purpose. When the irons are hot rub them first with the bag, then scour them with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt. To brighten copperware, a little crushed borax if sprinkled thickly on a flannel cloth that is wet with hot water and well soaked will brighten the copper like magic. Grease marks on wall paper.—These can be removed by applying a mixture of paste of pipe clay and water to the stains, and allowing this to dry all night, or day. Then the powder should be gently brushed off without scratching the paper. Polish for Oilcloth.—Save all candle ends and melt in the oven, mix with it sufficient turpentine to make a paste. This is excellent for linoleum. Brushes and Combs.—Put a teaspoonful of ammonia in a quart of water. Wash your brushes and combs in this and all dirt and grease will disappear. Rinse, shake and dry by the fire or in the sun. =The Care of the Piano=—Have it tuned at least once every six months. Make it your business to know that your tuner has had factory experience. Let the ivories or keys be exposed to the light as much as possible, to prevent them turning yellow. When polishing or cleaning the case do not use these so called “cure alls.” Get it from those who are making this their specialty. This is important. If your piano is marred or scratched do not attempt to overcome it yourself, but call in a workman in that line. It is decidedly cheaper. To remove rust stains from matting, cover the stain with paper and place a warm iron on this. When the spot is warm dip a glass rod in a bottle of muriatic acid and go over the rust spot with it, wetting every part with the acid. The spot will turn a bright yellow. Instantly wash it with an old tooth brush dipped in boiling water and rub dry with woolen cloths. Before beginning the work have all the appliances ready, and then work rapidly from start to finish. Muriatic acid always corrodes metals, therefore keep the bottle corked tight when not using it. Two or three ounces will be ample. To clean straw matting, use a coarse cloth dipped in salt and water. Wipe dry. The salt will keep the matting from turning yellow. To remove paint and putty from window glass put sufficient saleratus into hot water to make a strong solution and with this saturate the paint or putty, which adheres to the glass. Let remain till nearly dry, then rub off with a woolen cloth. * * * * * If You are a Building Contractor let us demonstrate to you that our quick system of delivery, and the benefit of our expert advice, combined with reasonable prices, can be a great saving to you in time, money and worry. * * * * * We carry a most complete line of Builders’ Supplies and hold ourselves ready at all times to prepare estimates for owners. * * * * * Our organization is complete and well equipped to handle any size contract. * * * * * WOOD and COAL A complete stock of all kinds of Wood and Coal always on hand.

It is the duty of every woman to make the most of her personal appearance. This has been true in every age, but never more so than at the present age. The Lady’s Hair When retiring never leave the hair up. Always take it down, give it a good brushing, and braid it loosely for the night, as it is very restful for the hair after being tied up during the day. When curling the hair, beware of using tongs that are too hot. Do not brush and comb too often. Do not use too many pads. If you are particular about your hair, you will not use the cheap woolen pads, as they are not only unsatisfactory but very ruinous to the hair. If you can afford it, get a pompadour made of real human hair. Tonic for Oily Hair Tincture of alcoholic cantharides, one dram; tincture of capsicum, one-half dram; tincture of nux vomica, two drams; cocoa oil, three-fourths of an ounce. Shake before using. Massage nightly into the scalp with the finger tips. Tonic for Dry Hair Sweet almond oil, one and one-half ounces; oil of rosemary, one-half ounce; oil of cinnamon, seventeen drops; mix well and massage with finger tips into the scalp nightly, or every other night as required. Lotion that Keeps the Hair in Curl Of the many preparations recommended to keep the hair in curl, none is easier for amateurs to make, or is more effective, even in damp weather, than bandoline, made from quince seed. It is harmless, and keeps straight locks in curl. The only objection to it is that when dry it assumes a powdery aspect suggestive of fine dandruff. An old method for preparing this toilet preservative is to add a tablespoon of the seeds, bruised, to a pint of soft water. Boil gently until the quantity is reduced to three gills. Then strain, and when cold, two tablespoons each of cologne and alcohol are added. If the hair is naturally oily, one-half teaspoon of powdered alum may be added, dissolving it first in the alcohol. For applying to the hair a small sponge is the best agent. This lotion must be put on before using curlers. To Keep False Hair Clean and Natural Looking False hair will last longer and look better if properly cared for, and as the best quality is not inexpensive, and should be carefully selected, it behoves a woman, now that quantities of it are worn, to know how to make it last. To begin with then, a cheap quality is most expensive, for after a little wear it becomes either scrubby-looking or so harsh that it cannot be used. Cheap pieces lose color and either streak or fade quickly. One of the most important and difficult details of caring for chignons is to keep them free from dust. Like hair growing on the head, they hold impurities and unless cleansed will grow dull-looking and old. In their care a soft brush is essential, and every night when the pieces are removed they should be stroked lightly but thoroughly with bristles in such a way that the dust is taken out. This should not be omitted even for one night, for once the switch or puffs become dust laden they are difficult to clean. To wash a switch or puffs is practically impossible, but as cleansing is necessary at intervals, cornmeal should be applied. The meal should be rubbed gently but thoroughly through the strands and then, fastening the top of the pieces securely, a long bristled brush must be applied vigorously to remove the grains. Before this, however, the long hair must be rubbed between the hands so the meal will absorb the dust. Once in a long while (about every two months) a little oil rubbed on the false piece will keep it in condition and aid in preserving the dressing. For this glycerine is excellent, and the manner of applying should be carefully followed. Too much of the grease will almost ruin, while too little will not be effective. When using the glycerine the tip of the piece must be securely fastened where the long hair will hang free. Then a few drops scented may be rubbed between the palms of the hands, to distribute it evenly, and then put directly upon the hair, the only difficulty being that unless care is exercised the grease will adhere to only one part of the switch. This is most apt to be avoided by pressing the palms lightly when first they are put on, making the strokes heavier as the grease is absorbed. Under no circumstances must there be any appearance of grease. * * * * * Shampooing—Face and Scalp Treatments “=_THE HOUSE OF QUALITY FOR HAIR GOODS_=” {Illustration: profile of an elegantly coiffed lady] Hair Dressing In the Newer Styles Styles in Hair Dressing vary with wearing apparel.

Mix and massage into the scalp every other night. The Care of the Girl’s Hair Having the child’s hair cut every month is too often and will result in making naturally fine hair turn coarse. Every two or three months is often enough. See that it is not cut too close. Girls over six years should have the ends singed after their hair has been cut, as it seals up the open pores of the hair. Wash the hair every week and do not use strong soap. An egg beaten, and applied at time of washing will give to the hair more of its natural gloss and always help to keep it right. A few of the German canilles made into a tea and used after straining is especially recommended for blonde hair. The Baby’s Hair It is the duty of every mother to pay special attention to the care of her little one’s hair. Always keep the baby’s hair washed free from dust and grease (the latter caused through perspiration while sleeping). Never use a comb of any kind until the baby gets over its first year. Only soft brushes should be used. The baby’s hair should not be cut until it is a year old or more, even if the baby’s hair is extra thick and strong, the second year is soon enough. * * * * * A good china cement is made by mixing with a strong solution of gum arabic and enough plaster of paris to make a thick paste.

Melt the wax and spermaceti in an earthen dish, set in basin of boiling water, add the lanoline and beat in the oils slowly. Remove vessel from the heat and add the witch hazel and elderflower water. Apply at night or before going out of doors. In the latter case, dust on powder. Massage Creams and Lotions that Whiten Skin When it becomes necessary to treat the complexion with a massage cream or lotion it is desirable to select one that will soften and also whiten. As a rule any preparation that softens is likely to have a slightly bleaching effect, because the latter is included in a scheme of general improvement. But a woman who wishes the cream action to be less slow may like to try a paste made from two ounces of sweet almond oil, 160 grains each of white wax and spermaceti, fifty grains of powdered and sifted benzoin, 160 grains of rice starch, and seven and one-half grains of pure carmine. The wax and spermaceti are melted in a cup set into hot water, the benzoin being added at the time. The oil is poured in as the fats are melted, and the cup removed from the heat. The liquid is beaten a moment with a fork and the carmine and starch are mixed at the same time. Blending must be carefully done to prevent lumps. If perfume is wished, two drops of oil of violets should be added just before the grease hardens. This cream, which, owing to the benzoin, is particularly whitening, is especially adapted to use on skin in the evening, before applying powder. It may also be rubbed over the cheeks during the day, wiping off any superfluous quantity before putting on powder. Its action on the skin is beneficial. Bleach for Tan Put half a pint of rich milk into a porcelain kettle and bring it to a boil. Skim carefully and add a quarter of an ounce of strained lemon juice. Remove from the heat and pour in half ounce white brandy. Bottle when cold, and apply to the face with a soft cloth, letting the mixture stay on all night. Wipe over the face again in the morning after washing. To Whiten Hands Strained honey, one ounce; lemon juice, one ounce; cologne, one ounce; mix and rub well into the hands at night, then wear a pair of large kid gloves, the palms split for ventilation. Nail-Polishing Powder Oxide of tin, one-half ounce; powdered carmine, one grain; powdered orris-root, one grain. Mix by sifting three times through coarse muslin.

GILLESPIE Phone Garry 2330 347 NOTRE DAME AVE., WINNIPEG * * * * * Blackheads To cure blackheads make an ointment of one ounce of soap liniment and one ounce of ether; mix. At night scrub the face thoroughly with hot water, using a complexion or other soft brush. After wiping apply the mixture to each of the spots and let it remain over night. Wash off in the morning with hot water. Continue until the spots have disappeared. Then twice a week wash the face with this mixture, removing the liquid at once by rinsing with clear water. If there are large pores, wipe over each with a little alcohol. For pimples that frequently appear with blackheads, make an ointment of two grams of beta naphthol, twenty grains of sulphur precipitate and twenty grams of potash soap. Rub over the pimples at night. This may be used at the same time as the blackhead mixture. Freckle Lotion Two drams oxide of zinc, one-quarter dram subiodide of bismuth, one and three-quarters drams of dextrin, one and one-half drams of glycerine. Spread the paste over the freckles at night before going to bed. In the morning remove what remains with a little powdered borax and almond oil. Harmless Rouge Carmine, one-quarter dram; sweet almond oil, one-half dram; powdered magnesia, one ounce. To mix, mingle the carmine and powder, and then slowly work into the oil. The preparation should be forced through coarse muslin several times, pressing out the lumps. It will be in powder form, the oil being absorbed. Face Powder for Brunettes Lycopodium powder, ten grains; talcum powder, ten grams; powdered tannin, two and one-half grams; boracic acid, two and one-half grams; essence of violet, five drops. If desired tinted, one grain of carmine may be added. To mix, mingle the powders and slowly work into the essence. Strain six times through coarse muslin, forcing the lumps through. Eyebrow and Lash Tonic Red vaseline, five grams; boric acid, ten centigrams. Make into a smooth paste, and massage into the brow at night, also rubbing lightly over the lashes at the roots. AIDS TO THE INJURED Family Medicine Chest The following are a few of the many articles which should be in every household in case of emergency—especially if a doctor is not to be obtained immediately: Absorbent cotton, bandages of convenient length and width of old cotton (which every housekeeper has if carefully saved), old linen handkerchiefs, pieces of soft flannel, prepared mustard leaves, adhesive plasters, arnice, pure vaseline, collodion, witch-hazel, ammonia, borax, ipecac, spirits of camphor, aconite No. 3 labeled “Poison.” No. 2 is invaluable in the household if administered carefully in fever, ten drops in a glass of water; dose, one teaspoonful each hour. Pure wine, whisky, or brandy, if the occasion requires. The hot water bags are indispensable, and can be obtained at slight cost. One per cent. solution of carbolic acid is very useful (also a deadly poison) in cases of injury, because of its cleansing qualities. If a cut is to be treated, the wound should be cleansed in clear tepid water, then rinsed with the carbolic solution, then painted with collodion, which stanches the blood and serves as a varnish to keep out air and any dirt. The solution of carbolic above mentioned is excellent for burns; saturate the cotton and put on to the afflicted spot, bandage and keep wet. Trifling injuries, whether cuts or tears, should be gently cleansed with lukewarm water poured over the wound, then replace the skin or tissue, and lay a clean white cloth, soaked in laudanum, peroxide of hydrogen, alcohol or water, over the injured part and loosely bind on. A cloth dipped in cold water, or a key, placed on the nape of the neck, or a teaspoonful of salt in a cupful of water or vinegar snuffed up the nose, rarely fails to stop the bleeding. Also, brown paper dipped in vinegar and placed on the nape of the neck will stop bleeding from the nose. Burns and Scalds Dust the parts with bicarbonate of soda, or wet with water in which as much of the soda has been placed as can be dissolved. When the burns are so severe that the skin and blisters are raised, open the blisters at one side and swathe the parts with soft linen anointed with simple serate or saturated with sweet oil, castor oil or equal parts of linseed oil and lime water. Burns from acids should be well washed with vinegar and water. Choking If possible remove the offending substances at once with the fingers, or with blunt scissors used as forceps, or a loop of small wire bent like a hairpin. It may be possible to dislodge it by blowing strongly in the ear, or by causing the patient to vomit by tickling the throat. In a child these efforts may be aided by holding it up by the legs. Cholera Morbus Give thirty drops of laudanum or two or three teaspoons of paregoric to an adult, or proportionate doses for children. Also supply over the stomach a mustard plaster or cloths wrung out of hot water and turpentine and frequently changed. Cramps A cold application to the bare feet, such as iron, water, rock, earth or ice, when it can be had, is an excellent remedy for cramp. If the patient be seized in the upper part of the body, apply the remedy to the hands. Croup Croup attacks children at night and is distinguished by a peculiar resonant, barking sound. Hoarseness is one of the earliest symptoms. Apply hot water to the throat for fifteen or twenty minutes with a sponge or soft cloth, and give powdered alum mixed in syrup, in half teaspoon doses, repeated every twenty minutes, until vomiting takes place. Keep the child warm, so that sweating may be induced, and strive to allay its excitement or fear. Colic May be treated as above, with the addition of an emetic or purgative, or both if due to undigested food. Convulsions in Children When these are brought on by indigestion, place the child in a warm bath immediately, give warm water or a lobelia emetic, rub the skin briskly, etc., to get up an action. In brain disease the warm water is equally useful. In fact, unless the fit is constitutional, the warm bath will relieve the patient by drawing the blood to the surface. Diarrhœa In sudden attacks of diarrhœa a large cup of strong, hot tea, with sugar and milk, will frequently bring the system to a healthy state. Earache If a living insect is in the ear, turn the head to the opposite side and fill the ear with tepid water, oil or glycerine, and it will soon come to the surface. A bright light thrown into the ear will also often succeed in bringing it out. Any body that will not swell when moistened with water may probably be removed by syringing the ear thoroughly, with the face held downward. None but the very gentlest probing of the ear should be attempted by any one but a physician. Earaches may often be relieved by using hot drinks, and a hot hop poultice over the affected ear. Eye Dirt in the eye may be washed out by squeezing from a sponge a small stream of tepid water. To wash lime from the eye use tepid water moderately acidulated with vinegar or lemon juice. Cinders and other small particles may be removed generally by touching them with a soft silk or linen handkerchief twisted to a point, or by using a loop of human hair. Metallic particles can be removed often best by the use of a magnet. To expose the eye more fully, the upper lid may be easily averted by lifting it by the lashes and pressing from above by a slender pencil or stick. To Save a Person on Fire Seize a blanket from a bed, or a cloak, or a carpet, or any woolen material. Hold the corners as far apart as you can stretch them out higher than your head, and rush bodily on the person, throwing the fabric around the upper part of the body. This instantly smothers the fire and saves the face. The next instant throw the unfortunate person on the floor. This is an additional safety to the face and breast, and any remnant of flame can be put out more leisurely. The next instant immerse the burnt part in cold water, and all pain will cease with the rapidity of magic. Next get some common flour, remove from the water, and cover the burnt parts with an inch thickness of flour; if possible put the patient in bed, and do all that you can to soothe until the physician arrives. Let the flour remain until it falls off itself, when a new skin will be found, and unless the burns are deep, no other application will be needed. Hemorrhages In hemorrhage from an artery the blood is bright red, and spurts or jets out from a cut. To stop it make compression between the wound and the heart. In veinous hemorrhage the blood is dark in color and flows in a steady stream. To stop it make compression on the side of the wound away from the heart. Hemorrhage from the lungs is bright red and frothy, while that from the stomach is of dark color. To make thorough compression of a blood vessel, knot a large handkerchief in the middle, place the knot over the line of the vessel, tie the ends firmly around the limb, thrust a short stick beneath and twist by turning the stick like you turn an auger. Ivy Poisoning or Poison Oak Treated by the application of cloths saturated with sugar-of-lead water, or with solution of bicarbonate of soda in water. Hot water applications will give instant relief. Nausea and Vomiting First cleanse the stomach by giving large draughts of warm water, and then give small pieces of ice, a tablespoonful of lime water, or a half teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or a small quantity of magnesia or baking soda, and, if necessary, place a mustard plaster over the pit of the stomach. Poisons and Their Antidotes When poisonous substances have been taken into the stomach, the first move is to cause their ejection by vomiting, or neutralization by proper antidotes. Our first step, however, should always be to get rid of as much of the poison as possible by vomiting—riddance is always preferred to neutralization—but that which remains must be rendered inert by proper antidotes. Vomiting should be produced by the simplest means when they are sufficient, such as tickling the throat with the finger or with a feather, or by drinking lukewarm water, salt and water, or mustard and water, but when these means are insufficient we should at once resort to one of those emetics which is most powerful and speedy in its operation, as tartar emetic, sulphate of copper, or sulphate of zinc. When vomiting has been excited, it should be continued by copious draughts of warm water, or by tickling the throat with the finger or a feather until the poisonous substances are ejected. In cases where vomiting cannot be produced, the stomach pump must be used by skilled hands, especially in arsenical or narcotic poisons. When as much of the poison as possible has been gotten rid of by vomiting, the following antidotes will be found the most simple and reliable; acids are neutralized by alkalies, such as very thick soap suds of soap and milk, chalk, soda, lime water, magnesia, or saleratus. In cases of poisoning from sulphuric acid do not use soap suds or lime water; for nitric or oxalic acid use magnesia and lime, and for prussic acid use dilute ammonia and electricity. Alkalies are neutralized by acids, the vegetable acids, vinegar, or oils in large quantities. Opium and other narcotics are neutralized by strong coffee and frequent doses of aqua ammonia, following and during frequent powerful emetics, and for the spasms of strychnia use chloroform, or ether and electricity. Motion and heat must be obtained in poisonings of this character. Arsenic is probably the most difficult poison to antidote successfully of any we have to contend with; hydrated peroxide of iron in tablespoonful doses every ten minutes until relief is obtained is relied upon by the profession oftener than any other treatment. This preparation, as well as any others named under poisons, can be procured at any druggist. When poisoned by bismuth, copper and their compounds, mercury, tin, zinc, and their salts, and creosote, use albumen in some form, as the white of eggs, sweet milk, strong coffee, and mucilaginous drinks. For lead and its salt, use epsom salts, glauber salts, dilute sulphuric acid or even lemonade, in mild cases. For iodine use starch, wheat flour or arrowroot beaten up in warm water. For gases use dilute ammonia, electricity and friction. In poisoning from animals, but little or no benefit is derived from vomiting, but we should at once resort to antidotes and often to the actual cautery. For the bite of a mad dog the actual cautery should instantly be applied to the wound and large doses of zinc, or muriate of iron, given for several days. For serpents’ stings apply the actual cautery immediately and give sufficient whisky or brandy to produce intoxication. For insect poison apply iodine, or hartshorn and oil, to the part and give stimulants for a day or two. Sore Throat Gargle with warm water or alum in sage tea, and drink often and freely of flaxseed tea. Flaxseed tea should be made by pouring a pint of boiling water on one or two tablespoons of whole flaxseed and stirring it up for a few minutes. The flaxseed should not be boiled, as that would bring out the oil, which is too heavy for the stomach. It is only the mucilage from the outside of the seeds that is useful. Chlorate of potash, an ounce in a pint of hot water, makes a very good gargle for a simple or ulcerated sore throat. It is nearly tasteless, and not being at all offensive to take, is well adapted to children. A stronger gargle is: Take of very strong sage tea half a pint, strained honey, common salt and strong vinegar, of each two tablespoonfuls; use one teaspoonful of pulverized cayenne pepper, steeping the cayenne with the sage. Strain, mix and bottle for use, gargling from four to a dozen times daily, according to the severity of the case. To smoke dry mullen in an ordinary but new clay pipe has been found very beneficial where there is a tickling in the throat or hacking cough or other irritation. For =Burns= nothing excels linseed oil and lime water. Dip cotton in the lotion and apply to burn and bandage. For =Backache= and pain in the chest the Belladonna and Capsicum plaster is the best and can be obtained at all drug stores. * * * * * To clean carved ivory articles.—The beauty of carved ivory articles is frequently spoiled on account of dust which collects in the interstices, so those who possess them will be pleased to hear of an excellent method of cleaning the ivory effectually. A paste should be made of sawdust, water and a few drops of lemon juice. This paste should be applied thickly all over the carving, and be permitted to dry on. When finally brushed off with a soft, firm brush, the preparation will be found to have left the ivory pure and white once more. * * * * * Emmanuel Baptist Church S.E.

The teeth have many functions: first in importance is mastication; second, assistance in articulation of words; third, that of giving beauty and expression to the face. Mastication.—This is the cardinal function of the teeth. The crushing of food is not the only end accomplished in mastication, but during the process the glands situated in and about the mouth secrete large quantities of saliva, in which is a ferment which is necessary in the first stage of digestion. If the teeth are unhealthy there will be a tendency to select soft foods which require little or no mastication. In such cases the food will not be incorporated with the normal quantity of saliva which is required in digestion; the result will be faulty digestion, tainted breath, headache, and many other ill effects may follow. Tooth Decay and its Cause Dental caries is a disintegration or breaking down of the tooth tissue, resulting from action of certain species of micro-organisms. Decay goes on persistently, more rapidly in some mouths than in others, according to the condition of the secretions, the general health and the care taken in cleansing the mouth and the teeth. Neglect of proper cleanliness of the mouth is one of the chief causes of tooth destruction, as well as of other diseases. Each germ disease, whether it be decay of the teeth, tuberculosis, or any other, is the result of specific forms of bacteria. The warmth, moisture and presence of food in the mouth make it a desirable habitat for the growth of germs. In almost any mouth in which there are decayed teeth there may be present the germs of many diseases, such as diphtheria, typhoid fever, cholera, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.; and, strange to say, that people who have such pretty mouths will demand pure, clean foods to masticate in a cesspool of disease; surely the best results could not be expected under these conditions. Prevention of Decay Absolute cleanliness is the best known preventive of dental caries (tooth decay). The best means of cleansing the mouth and teeth, other than by mastication, is by the intelligent use of a good tooth-brush, together with plenty of moderately cold, pure water. The head of an ideal tooth-brush should not be more than one and one-half inches long, or wider than one-third of an inch. There is a right and a wrong way of using a tooth-brush, and most people employ the latter method. The old see-saw manner of using the brush is a very poor one. The motion should be a vertical one in line with the long axes of the teeth and used with a rotating movement, which will allow the bristles to pass in between the teeth, displacing any particles of food which may be lodged there. As it is generally impossible for the average person to keep their own teeth perfectly clean, they should consult their dentist at least once every three months. * * * * * _DENTIST_ DOCTOR T. G.

This being so you will readily concede the great importance of your eyes as a part of your animal organism. A momentary realization of your helplessness without them will aid you to a juster appreciation of their worth. As an essential, then, of a happy existence, do you give your eyes attention in proportion to their importance? Do you care for them as their delicacy demands? Most people—you included, perhaps—are extremely negligent in regard to their eyes, and very culpably so in regard to their children’s. This is because the public generally have literally no idea of the number and variety of eye defects. They know in a general way of near sight, far sight, old sight, squint, etc., and many with one or other of these defects foolishly think it is only necessary for them to pick out at random from a number of spectacles a pair that suits. Alas, many of the glasses selected in this way, that seem to suit exactly, prove most injurious and cause permanent injury. The fact is, that optical defects occur in such varying degree and in so many combinations, that only the competent eye specialist with a complete eye-testing equipment, such as an optometrist possesses, is qualified to discover the exact nature and degree of the trouble and properly correct it. Signs of Failing Vision Eye defects manifest themselves in various ways. Persons with normal eyes see to read with greatest distinctness when they hold the book from twelve to fourteen inches from the face. If, in reading, you find it necessary to hold the book much nearer to the face or much further from it than the normal twelve or fourteen inches, or if you see only indistinctly whatever the position of the book, then you should at once consult an optometrist, as you also should when you notice any of the following symptoms: When your eyes tire and when you cannot continue for any length of time to regard small objects, as in reading. When you involuntarily frown or partly close the eyes when looking at an object. When things “swim” or become dim after being looked at for some time. When the eyes ache, smart or water, when your eyelids get inflamed often, or when you have pain in the eyeball, orbit, temples or forehead. When you have any nervous derangement that you cannot otherwise account for. Always Go to a Competent Optometrist Never select glasses for yourself, and never purchase glasses from a peddling spectacle-seller. The stock of such spectacle sellers is as defective as their knowledge of optics. The lenses are carelessly ground, and the lens in one eye is frequently different from the lens in the other eye. Wearing them will soon result in pain in the eyes and injury to the sight. Then there is frequently the condition of unequal vision—that is, your eyes may differ in focus and each may require a different, specially prescribed lens. In such cases similar lenses such as you would select for yourself or a pedlar would give you, must of necessity prove injurious to one or other of the eyes. * * * * * [Illustration: sketch of man holding glasses] _AN INSIGHT_ _INTO_ _GOOD_ _OPTICAL_ _GOODS_ _FOR_ _OUT_ _OF_ _SIGHT_ _EYES._ If You Need Glasses we will test your eyes and fit you with lenses which are adapted to meet the necessity of your particular case.

THE SMITH VISIBLE TYPEWRITER COMPANY LIMITED PHONE GARRY 4975 PHOENIX BLOCK * * * * * Pointers for Spectacle Wearers It is just as important to have correctly fitting frames as correctly ground lenses. It is essential to good vision that the centre of the glasses comes exactly opposite the pupils of the eyes, and with ill fitting frames this most important essential may be absent. The spectacles should not be too wide or too narrow for the eyes, as in either case they have a tendency to produce double vision. The bridge should fit the nose so well that wobbling would be impossible. Such wobbling puts both lenses out of centre. Never keep a pair of glasses for reading on the face a moment longer than you are looking at some near object. How to Preserve Sight The proper reading distance is twelve to fourteen inches from the eye. Always turn your back to the source of light when reading, or let the light fall over the left shoulder, so that the light may fall on the book or paper instead of coming into the eyes. Never read or permit your children to read with an imperfect light. Short sight is often produced in this way, especially in young people. Never read in railroad trains when they are in motion. If necessary to do so, it is somewhat of a help to hold a card under each line, moving the card down as you read. Never read when the body is exhausted, and read but little when recovering from an illness. Do not sleep in a bed so placed that the eyes are opposite to a window and never read when lying in bed. Ladies should avoid the use of very thick dotted veils, and they should not do needlework with dark material by artificial light. HOW TO BAKE BREAD White bread is made from a mixture of flour, liquid and yeast. The most nutritious bread is made from patent flours. The liquid used may be pure water, scalded milk, or a combination of the two. The yeast is a fungus, and in the process of feeding and growing produces a gas which we depend upon for raising the dough. The conditions for growth are moisture, even temperature, food and air. The temperature best suited for yeast growth is 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Sugar is added to dough to give yeast an easy method of obtaining its food. The yeast attacks the sugar first, then the starch, and lastly the nitrogenous matter; therefore avoid processes of bread making requiring long hours and many risings. Two risings are quite enough if ingredients are carefully blended. The purpose of the first kneading is to thoroughly distribute the yeast; the purpose of the second kneading is to break up the bubbles and to distribute the gas evenly throughout the dough. If the dough is too light the bread will be full of large holes. To Knead Push the dough with palm, curving the fingers to keep the ball from flattening too much. With every push turn the dough one quarter way round and fold over. Do not make it too stiff. A soft dough makes a tender bread, and one that will keep better than a stiff one. Knead until the dough has a silky smoothness, is full of blisters and does not stick to the hands or bowl (about twenty minutes). To Bake Bread The best pan for baking bread is made from Russia iron. It should be four inches deep, four and one-half inches wide, and ten inches long. A new baking pan should always be baked blue in the oven before it is used. Bread should be baked in a hot oven. Use one and one-half pounds of dough to a loaf. The loaf should continue rising for the first fifteen minutes, when it should begin to brown and continue browning for the next twenty minutes. Reduce the heat and finish baking in fifteen minutes. Bread is done when it leaves the sides of the pan. When done remove from pans, lay on a rack, brush over with melted butter if you wish a soft crust. Biscuits require more heat than bread. The time required for baking is from fifteen to twenty minutes. The rolls should continue rising the first five minutes, and brown in the next eight minutes. A shallow pan of boiling water placed in the oven under the loaves causes loaves to rise better and produces a more tender crust. Care of Bread Bread boxes should be thoroughly washed, scalded and dried over the range before each new baking. When once dried do not leave open, to expose it to germs in the air. Keep dry, old rolls and pieces of bread in an earthen crock. This bread should be ground or rolled and used for crumbling, escallops, etc. Water Bread One quart boiled water, one yeast cake dissolved in one-fourth cup lukewarm water, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon lard, one tablespoon sugar, three quarts sifted flour. Put salt, sugar and lard in bread raiser, scald with boiling water. When lukewarm add dissolved yeast cake; mix in the flour slowly, beating constantly and thoroughly. When the dough is sufficiently thick to knead, sprinkle the moulding board lightly with flour and turn dough onto it. Knead, cutting often with a case knife to more thoroughly distribute the yeast. Knead until dough ceases to stick and is smooth and elastic to the touch. Return to bread raiser or to greased bowl, cover and let rise over night, at a temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit. In the morning cut down, and let rise forty-five minutes to one-half its bulk, turn out on moulding board, divide into four parts and shape into loaves; place in pans and cover with clean cloth, and let rise until they double their bulk (one hour). Bake for fifty minutes in a moderate oven. Bread set over night should be prepared late, and moulded into pans early in the morning in order to obtain the best results. When dividing the dough for baking, reserve one-quarter for breakfast rolls. Put dough into a sheet three-quarters of an inch thick, cut with biscuit cutter, brush over with melted butter; fold each biscuit through the centre and pinch edges together firmly. Let rise to double their bulk and bake in a hot oven from twenty to twenty-five minutes. The amount of yeast should vary with season. In warm weather use one-half this quantity. Nut Bread One cup sugar, one egg, one and one-quarter cup of milk, four cups of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one and one-half cups of nuts. First mix sugar and egg in a bowl. Measure and sieve your flour. Add baking powder to flour. Then alternate in adding the milk and flour to the sugar and egg. After these are mixed, add the nuts. Either English walnuts or the plain American walnuts can be used. The nuts can be ground by putting them through a meat chopper or by rolling them on the bread board by using the roller pin. After all your ingredients are well mixed, put the latter in two pans. The pans must first be well greased with lard. Bread pans are preferable. Let the bread rise for twenty minutes. Then put in a moderate oven to bake. Bake for forty minutes. The nut bread has supplied a long felt need, for upon all sides we have been constantly hearing the complaints of people who wish to eliminate such rich refreshments served at pink teas and bridge parties. What to give at an afternoon affair instead of the inevitable ice cream has been a problem. Nut bread, which can be used instead of rich pastries has helped solve the solution. A fruit salad and nut bread can be served and one woman reasoned that this is the same as the salad course of dinner, which we all agree is the most sensible of all the courses. When the bread is served, it is cut in very thin slices and plentifully buttered. A good plan is to butter the bread before cutting the slices from the loaf. This is delicious served with any salad. Banana Salad A banana salad can be made very easily. Skin the banana, put on lettuce leaves and cover with peanut butter, then put over this, mayonnaise dressing. The dainty romaine lettuce can be used or any other fresh lettuce. The bread is also good when served with a simple fruit sherbet—or is equally enjoyed when put on the family table at meals. Another fruit salad is made of chopped celery as the main ingredient and mixing sliced apples and bananas and white grapes. This is also served with mayonnaise salad dressing. Always remove the seeds of the white grapes before serving. Either of these salads or any salad in fact served with the nut bread will be found a most satisfactory refreshment for an afternoon affair or any gathering of people where light refreshments are served. * * * * * THE NAME “DUBOIS” IS SUFFICIENT GUARANTEE FOR THE MOST PARTICULAR WORK OUR TRADE MARK [Illustration: logo] FORMERLY OF TORONTO Those finer fabrics that you are so particular about, be they wearing apparel or house draperies, send them to us and you will be agreeably surprised with the perfect results obtained in our handling of your work. =Ostrich Feathers, Paradise, Osprey, Boas and Stoles Cleaned, Dyed and Curled= The ordinary dyers are not equipped for this class of work.

Potato Puffs Take one cup of hot or cold mashed potatoes, two tablespoons of cream, one egg, two teaspoons of melted butter, salt and pepper to season; if potatoes are cold stir over the fire until hot, adding the yolk of one egg; take from the fire, add the white of the egg, well beaten; heap on greased baking dish or in gem pans; bake in a quick oven until a nice brown. Riced Potatoes Wash and boil the potatoes in salted water and drain. To a pint of potatoes add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of butter. Toss about by shaking the handle of the saucepan, and when dry and mealy pass the potatoes through a ricer or vegetable sieve to a heated serving-dish. Do not touch them afterwards, but if not quite ready to serve keep hot over boiling water. Pineapple Sponge Cover one-fourth of a box of gelatine with one-fourth cup of cold water. Drain the syrup from one can of pineapple; measure and add if necessary to make one and one-half cup. Heat to the boiling point, take from fire, add the gelatine and stir until dissolved. Strain and set aside until it begins to thicken, then add one-half cup of thick cream whipped to a solid froth and the whites of two eggs beaten until stiff and dry. Stir carefully together, and when thick add one cup of pineapple cut into tiny bits. Turn into moulds previously wet with cold water and stand in a cold place until firm. Home-Made Charlotte Russe Put a quarter of a box of gelatine into one-half pint of milk, and stand on the fire where it will be warm, not hot, stirring often till the gelatine is dissolved. Cool, and beat with an egg-beater till perfectly cold. Beat very stiff one pint of thick cream, using an egg-beater; add one-half cup of powdered sugar, flavor with vanilla, almond or sherry and fold into the milk; put into a mould and set on ice. Turn out when firm, and press halved lady-fingers all around. Raspberry and Currant Sherry Boil one pound sugar in one quart of water for five minutes. When cold add one pint currant juice and one quart raspberries which have been mashed and strained; freeze, then add a meringue (i.e., white of egg beaten stiff with one tablespoon of sugar), which makes the mixture light and creamy. Serve in small tumblers or lemonade glasses. Caramel Pudding Put one-half cup granulated sugar in a saucepan and stir constantly till melted to a syrup of a light-brown color; add one-half cup of milk. As soon as the sugar is melted in the milk, add one-half cup cornstarch and two tablespoons sugar mixed to a smooth paste in one and one-half cups milk. Cook mixture three minutes, then pour into a pudding dish. Chill and serve with cream. * * * * * _To the Successful Housewife._ Who is to be Your Grocer? _Groceries are always the Most Important Item on Your Household Expense_ _Start Right_ - _Phone Garry 4640, 4641, 4642_ _St. Johns 446, 2268_ _The W.

Put a layer of the crumbs in an earthen dish, cover with a layer of apple sauce, sprinkle sauce with cinnamon and repeat until dish is full. Have the last layer that of crumbs. Bake slowly. Turn out, and when cold garnish with whipped cream and serve. Celery, Nut and Egg Salad Cut up the celery into one-inch pieces and slit each piece; rub dry on a towel, and put on ice; boil hard four eggs, cut in good-sized pieces, and prepare a small cup of English walnuts; make a good-sized cup of extra-stiff mayonnaise. Just before serving, mix lightly all the ingredients, add a little salt, and put into a salad bowl with celery leaves around the edge. Do not let it stand after adding the mayonnaise. Rhubarb and Nut Jelly Stew the rhubarb till tender; put it into a mould with either almonds or English walnuts; strain the juice, add more sugar, if necessary, and sufficient gelatine; pour this over the rhubarb, and set away to grow firm. Mayonnaise Dressing Success in making mayonnaise dressing generally depends upon all the ingredients being of the same temperature. Two egg yolks, one teaspoon cayenne, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon mustard, one tablespoon vinegar, one tablespoon lemon juice, one cup olive oil, one-quarter teaspoon paprika. Mix salt, cayenne, mustard and paprika. Beat yolks well, and add to seasonings; beat until mixture is thick. Add olive oil drop by drop for the first four tablespoons, then more rapidly until oil is used, thinning as needed with lemon juice and vinegar. Fruit Salad One-half pound almonds, four oranges, one can pineapple, three bananas, one-half cup French cherries, one cup of powdered sugar. Blanch the almonds and grate or chop very fine; pare and slice the oranges; cut pineapple into small dice; slice the bananas. Alternate the layers of fruit with the layers of sugar. Reserve the almonds for the top layer. Garnish with strawberries or other small, bright fruits; then add the following dressing and chill: One-half cup lemon juice, two tablespoons sherry, two tablespoons Maraschino liquor. SUPPER DISHES Cheese Rarebit with Tomatoes Cut enough fresh Canadian cheese into dice to make two cups; melt one tablespoon of butter in the chafing dish; add one-quarter cup of tomato pulp, one-quarter teaspoon of salt and a little red pepper. When this begins to boil add the cheese and stir steadily until it is melted and smooth. Add three-quarters cup of cream beaten with one egg, mix as quickly as possible and pour over toasted bread. There may be some chance of the tomato and cream separating. It is usually wiser to add one-third teaspoon of soda dissolved in warm water before putting it in the chafing dish. Rapid stirring should prevent any separating. * * * * * =QUALITY FURNITURE= At below wholesale price is what you will obtain if you will let us help you furnish your home.

Stuffed Eggs Boil six eggs hard and cut in halves. Remove the yolks carefully and mash fine with three tablespoons of cream or olive oil; add three tablespoons of forcemeat and one tablespoon of chopped mushrooms, or stuffed olives chopped fine. Season and mix well. Fill the whites with the mixture, being very careful not to break the edges. Smooth the tops, brush over with a little of the raw white of the egg and fit the halves together. Cover with the egg and breadcrumbs, mushroom or tomato sauce. Salmon Croquettes Make a thick white sauce with two tablespoons each of butter and flour and one cup of milk; add sauce to one and three-quarters cups cold flaked salmon, then add one teaspoon lemon juice, salt and a few grains of cayenne; shape, dip in crumbs again, fry in deep fat, and drain on paper. Jellied Chicken Dress, clean, and cut up fowl; put in a stew pan with two slices of onion, cover with boiling water, and cook slowly until meat falls from the bones. When half-cooked add one-half tablespoon of salt. Remove chicken, strain stock and remove fat. Decorate bottom of a mould with parsley and hard boiled eggs. Pack in meat freed from skin and bone and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour on stock and place mould under a heavy weight. Keep in cold place until firm. In summer it is necessary to add one teaspoon of gelatine to stock. Tomato Toast Cook down till thick one-half can of tomatoes, with a pinch of cloves, half a teaspoon of salt, a dash of cayenne, half an onion minced fine, and a teaspoon of minced parsley; have ready buttered toast without crust, and pour this over without straining. Chicken Gumbo One chicken cut in pieces, one cup salt pork cubes, one-quarter cup onion, four quarts water, four tablespoons flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, one cup of cream, one quart green okra, one tablespoon chopped red pepper, one bay leaf, sprig of thyme, four tablespoons butter, one cup rice cooked, one clove garlic.

Parboil red peppers. Make a white sauce with butter, flour, cream and seasonings. Add crab meat. Fill peppers with crab mixture, cover with buttered and seasoned soft breadcrumbs, and bake until crumbs are brown. Oyster Soup Clean and pick over one pint of oysters, remove liquor, add oysters slightly chopped, and heat slowly to boiling point; strain through cheese cloth; reheat liquor and thicken with two and one-half tablespoons butter and two tablespoons flour cooked together. Scald two cups of milk with a thin slice of onion, a stalk of celery, one blade mace, sprig of parsley, bit of bay leaf; remove seasonings; add to oyster liquor; season with salt and pepper. Cream of Pea Soup Thoroughly cook one and one-half cups shelled peas. Brown one slice of onion in one tablespoon of butter; add the peas, one teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons of sugar, one sprig of mint and one-half of a bay leaf. Simmer twenty-five minutes or until sufficiently tender to press through a coarse sieve. Scald three cups of milk. Rub two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of flour together until smooth; add sufficient milk to the roux to make it liquid, stirring continually that it may be smooth, add this to the remainder of the milk. Stir occasionally until the milk thickens; add one cup of cream and the peas pressed through the sieve. Season to taste, using onion and celery extract if desired, although the browned onion will give that flavor. One-quarter cup of very finely-chopped almonds is an agreeable addition to all cream soups; and to the pea soup, a cupful of finely-shredded lettuce added five minutes before taking from the fire gives an additional flavor. Potato Salad One quart cold cooked potatoes sliced, one cucumber sliced, one cup diced celery, two cups boiled dressing, one teaspoon salt, one-quarter teaspoon black pepper. Arrange in alternate layers the potatoes and cucumbers, sprinkled with seasoning. Add the dressing. Do not stir, but lift carefully with forks.

Mix and sift the dry ingredients four times; cut and rub in the butter, add the milk, lastly the beaten egg. Spread on a buttered biscuit tin and bake in a quick oven. Split apart at the edge, cooling five minutes; spread with softened butter and fill with fruit. Apple Dumplings One-half No. 1, five or six tart apples, one-half cup water. Pare, core and quarter the apples; place in a two-quart granite pan with the water and let cook slowly while preparing the crust. Roll the crust out to exactly fit the pan, cut several gashes to let out the steam, lay it over the hot apples; cover with a deep pie plate, cook on the top of the stove for one-half hour; set the pan on a trivet, if necessary, to keep the apples from burning; then lift the cover and brown the crust in a hot oven. Invert on a large platter and serve with brown sugar sauce or hard sauce. This is excellent also steamed for forty minutes. Baking Powder Biscuits One quart sifted flour, one teaspoon salt, three teaspoons baking powder, two tablespoons butter, two cups milk. Sift the dry ingredients together four times; cut and rub the butter into the mixture with the thumb and fingers, add the milk gradually, mixing and cutting through with a knife until the whole is a light, spongy mass. Turn on a well-floured board, roll lightly to one inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter and bake in a hot oven from fifteen to twenty minutes. If two-inch cutter is used the rule will make eighteen biscuits. Apple Pancakes Apple pancakes need three well-beaten eggs, one pint of milk, a half teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, two teaspoons of baking powder, two tablespoons of melted shortening and sufficient sifted flour to make a thick drop batter. Into this one pint of finely chopped apple tart. Serve with plenty of butter and spiced sugar or with a hard sauce flavored with vanilla and nutmeg.

The best time to eat fruit is in the morning. Most fruits are improved in flavor by being chilled. A dish of different fruits attractively arranged makes a very acceptable centre piece. To Prepare Fruit for the Table Apples should be washed and wiped dry. Berries should be looked over very carefully and, if dirty, washed by putting in a colander and allowing cold water to run gently over them, or place the colander in a bowl of cold water and raise up and down several times, then drain thoroughly and chill before serving. Cherries should be looked over, and served with their stems on. Bananas should be wiped and chilled. Currants should be washed and drained, and served on the stem. Figs, if the dried ones, should be washed, drained and chilled. Grape fruit should be cut in halves, the pulp loosened from the skin, and the pith cut out, then chilled; it may be served plain, or sugar and vine may be poured over it just before chilling. Serve one-half grape fruit to each person. * * * * * ‾=Our Specialty=‾ =HATS= ‾=Our Specialty=‾ Most men are either too busy or a little indifferent to their personal appearance, and the many additions to their wardrobe are many times the result of the wives’ loving forethought for hubby’s success. =A New Tie or New Hat= will help tone up his whole dress.

Peaches and plums should be wiped with a soft cloth, and chilled before serving. Quinces are never served raw. Strawberries are often served with their hulls on around a mound of sugar; but if they are to be served with sugar and cream, of course they must be hulled and chilled. Oranges may be chilled and served in the natural state; or prepared the same as grape fruit, and one-half served to each person; or peeled and the sections almost, but not quite, separated; or the orange may be cut in the shape of a basket, the pulp removed, the membrane cut off, and the basket refilled with the pulp, which may be sweetened or not. Pineapples may be served in various ways; perhaps the most popular way is to cut off a slice from the top of the pineapple, then scoop out the centre with a fork, and return pulp to pineapple, put on cover, chill and serve. Pineapples may be cut in slices, the outer skin removed, and the tough pith taken out, then served one or two slices to each person. If the pineapples are not fully ripe, it is better to remove the skin, pull the pulp in pieces with a fork, then cover with sugar and chill over night. Pears should be carefully wiped and chilled before serving. Melons should be thoroughly chilled. Cantaloupes should be cut in halves, have the seeds removed, and served one-half to a person. Watermelons should be cut in halves, then each half cut in pie-shaped pieces; serve one piece to a person. Nuts are ordinarily served at dinner. Hard-shelled nuts should be cracked, served in the shell, or without the shell. Almonds are cracked, and a portion of the shell discarded, or they may be blanched and salted, and served with the bonbons. Pecans, filberts, peanuts and walnuts are treated in the same way as almonds. Castanas or Brazilian nuts are cracked and served in the shell.

PRESERVING Canning and Preserving Canned fruits are now more popular with most people than preserved fruits. The expense in preparing them is less, and the natural flavor is retained. To prepare fruit for canning, look over carefully, reject imperfect fruit, and be sure that the fruit is clean. The fruit may be cooked in a saucepan with just enough sugar to make palatable and water to keep the fruit from burning, and transferred to sterilized jars; or it may be put into sterilized jars in the first place, and cooked by steam—the latter method preserves the color and flavor better. To sterilize jars, put jars into cold water, bring water to the boiling point, and boil ten minutes; fill jars with cooked fruit, and pour in syrup to over-flowing; adjust rubbers and covers. Invert and let stand on folded cloth until cold; if there are not air bubbles place jars in a cool, dark closet to keep. If air bubbles are present, take off cover, reheat, and add more hot syrup and proceed as before. Canned Apples Four pounds apples, one pound sugar, two pints cold water, juice and rind of two lemons. Pare and core the apples; cover with cold water. Boil sugar and water five minutes; add apples and simmer until tender; add lemon juice and rind; place apples in sterilized jars; fill to overflowing with syrup; adjust rubbers and covers; set in a cool place until cool, then keep in dark, dry closet. * * * * * [Illustration: The Peerless Winnipeg’s Premier Laundry 55-59 PEARL ST.] =There are Laundries and Laundries= =but only one PEERLESS= Try Us and See for Yourself _OUR MOTTO:_ “_Pleased Customers mean_ _more Customers_” In addition to the best laundered work in the City we sew on buttons, darn socks, and do small repairs.

R. J. BARKER—Gen. Mgr. S. D. BROWN * * * * * Canned Blackberries Four quarts blackberries, two pints sugar. Place sugar and berries in preserving kettle, let stand several hours, then cook slowly until the boiling point is reached; boil five minutes; fill sterilized jars and seal. Canned Blueberries Blueberries are canned the same as blackberries, allowing one-half cup water for every four pounds of blueberries. Canned Cherries Four pounds cherries, one to two pounds sugar. Stone the cherries or not, as preferred. Place sugar and cherries in preserving kettle over night. Cook slowly until boiling point is reached, skim, fill sterilized jars, and seal. Canned Peaches Four pounds peaches, two pounds sugar, one pint water. Pare peaches and cook in sugar and water, either whole or in halves, until tender. Arrange in jars, fill with syrup, and seal. Pears, pineapples and plums are canned in the same way as peaches. Canned Raspberries Four pounds raspberries, two pounds sugar. Arrange berries and sugar in alternate layers in glass jars; set jars on trivet in large boiler two-thirds full of water; cover and cook until the water in boiler boils vigorously. Remove jar; if berries have settled, refill from another jar, and seal. Canned Strawberries Prepare in the same way as canned raspberries. Canned Tomatoes Remove skins from tomatoes; boil hard twenty minutes; fill sterilized jars being careful to keep seeds away from rubbers. Seal, and keep in cool place. Grape Jelly Remove stems from grapes. Mash; boil twenty minutes; strain, but do not squeeze; process as for currant jelly. Half ripe and half green grapes make the best jelly. Apple Marmalade Apples with considerable flavor are best for marmalade. Wash, core, and cut apples in slices; put in kettle, add enough water to keep apples from burning. Cook slowly until mushy, press through a sieve, add equal amounts of sugar and apples, and flavor with orange or lemon juice. Cook until water is evaporated; fill glasses, and cover. All fruits may be made into marmalades by following the above directions. If the fruit lacks flavor, lemon juice, lemon rind, or ginger root may be cooked with the fruit. * * * * * The BLACKWOODS Limited ESTABLISHED 1876 Works: OSBORNE ST., C.N.R.
