Tested Recipes SUMMER SALADS “Serve on crisp lettuce and gar­ nish with parsley or watercress.” This is usually the final sentence to directions for making' salads, which applies to the serving of the follow­ ing summer cheese salads as well as to all others. Salads must have an air of crispness, which is easily at­ tained if freshly made and arranged on cold, crisp lettuce leaves. They must also, have eye appeal, hence a garnish of parsley, watercress, or pepper grass to add the needed touch of attractiveness. Summer is .the true salad season, (land although the diet should not be made up entirely of cold foods even in hottest weather, the salad has a very definite place in the summer menu. Any of the following salads may be served as the main course for lunch or supper, and with an appe­ tizer and light dessert, will make a satisfying, enjoyable meal.

Home Sweet Home It would be difficult to imagine a poet writing “Home Sweet Home” or “The Auld Hoose’* unless that home contained comfortable furni­ ture. There could hardly be very much affection for an abode in which there was no bed, only a stool or two to sit upon and a rough table. In those homes which poets and writ­ ers have immortalized there must have been coziness and comfort — a restful place, some beauty about it, where one could sleep off one’s tir­ edness. A living-room that appeals to our sense of what home is, will probably have its log fire, its sofa, deep easy chairs. It will not stir fond memories in the striplings who have departed to make homes of theii* own in far places, unless there has been that atmosphere of content that is created by solid comfort. Money alone will noc make a home pleasant but there has to be enough, to make real enjoyment possible. The love, of home is easy to trace. In the days of migratory life, when families travelled from spot td spot as circumstances demanded, such as following the food supply or escap­ ing from the enemy, it was not in the nature of things to try to furnish a home. Even if they had had fur­ niture there was no icovered wagon to transport it. A grandfather’s chair would be an awkward thing to carry over the mountains and across the river fords on the broad of a man’s back. A baby’s crib would be a positive nuisance-—far easier to carry the infant papoose-fashion. So these far away ancestors of ours did not bother about furniture. They slept on the ground, perhaps on some balsam boughs or a spread of mea­ dow hay. They might have loved the place where once they camped but the tent or skin shelter went with them until it wore out and nothing remained at the beautiful spot save the litter that will collect around any dwelling. That however was hardy likely to ne so bad as in our day when, with abandon, we strew tin cans and paper all over the summer cottage lot. (rude Affairs at First When our ancestors gave up their migratory life and began to adopt a more centralized system of living, they built homes for shelter from the rigours of a cold climate. Until they had learnt how to saw wood or shape a stone, theii* habitations were very crude affairs. Turf huts were common—not such well equip­ ped turf-walled dwellings as may be seen in some parts of Canada even today, for they had no glass dr plas­ tic windows to allow the light of heaven to dispel the darkness. But they were getting s&mewhere. * With the same nomadic character of much of primitive society well behind them, people arrived at the period of centralized living, They began to live in communities. Beds, tables and chairs came into vogue. A good bed is more comfortable than a bag of skins on the hard ground. It is easier to feed out of a bowl placed on a table than it is to dip into a big iron pot of stew or to hack a chunk of meat off an ox roasted whole. A chair was handier than squatting upon the damp earthern or stone floor. BACONLESS BREAKFAST BREAKS OLD TRADITION Jasper Park Lodge, Jasper, Alta’., July—“What, no bacon!” that was the first exclamation to greet two English schoolboys, now on a ten- day hiking trip through the Brazeau country of Jasper Park, These lads, Stephen L. Harris and Jeffery Morris of St. Christopher School Lotchworth England, are exponents of a strictly vegetable diet. Not even the tales of delicious mountain trout can lure them from porridge, bannock and cheese, with dried fruits and choco­ late to top off with. They have been touring Canada and parts of the United States since early in April. They have just completed a trip with horses along the north bound­ ary, and will sail for their native land on August 16th. .MRS. MARX HERBERT, 88 BIDDUDPlI resident, dies Mrs. Mary Herbert, widow of James Herbert, one of the oldest residents of the Lucan district died Sunday at the home of her daughter Mrs. Robert Calvert, on the 4th con­ cession of Biddulph township. She was in her 89 th yea?. Formerly Miss Mary Bruce, she was a native of London, born there when London was a village. She spent most of her life in Biddulph, and Usborne Townships. Predeceas­ ed 16 years by her husband, she is survived by five daughters, Mrs. J, Heywood and Mrs. James Heywood, of Usborne; Mrs. Walter Hodgins and Mrs. Robert Calvert, of Bid­ dulph and Mrs. Charlotte Hartwick, Bryanston; two sons, Menzer Her­ bert, of Biddulph ana John Herbert, EXPECTANCY OF LIFE Not long since a New York act­ uary,* going over the tables .upon which pension fund contributions of the Teachers Retiremet Board are based, discovered that the longevity oi teachers in New York City schools now receiving funds had consider­ ably exceeded “life expectancy” set down in carefully prepared mortality tables. 'Likewise*, that the rate at which teachers have retired for dis­ ability had decreased. A medical ex­ aminer of the Board of Education advances the opinion that the re­ moval of “strain and responsibility” was responsible for the happy result. Obviously, since strain and a burden­ some sense of responsibility are men­ tal states, a proper mental attitude seems favorable to longevity. As individuals gain this, present expec­ tancy of life” tables may have to be renamed: “expectancy of long life” tables—Christian Science Monitor It matters not if you lose your re­ putation as long as your retain your character. » F»™»El5 SEE THE NEW CABINET OF .........
