There is something of mystery in the making of a friend. You go alone along the highway of life and then, at th© appointed hour, from out the multitude that throngs and presses, someone steps out to take ms ■place beside you and so you go side by side, companying down through the years. What an indescribable gift. To. have one person with whom you can fearlessly “be yourself”. Cue who accepts you as you are, with all your dull moments and bad moods, with your over-statement and ingrati­ tudes with your annoying habits and irritating mannerisms, counting as his reward the rar© moments of perfect companionship. One who counts it not too great a task to sift the wheat from the chaff and lov© you foi the small amount of good, that remains. One to whom ‘time and distance do not exist, but is a partner to that, strong bond which neither can break. If you have such a friend, humbly thank God for a gift so tai' beyond your own deserving.—The Missus OLD FRIENDS TEA SUBSTITUTE “Old Friends!”—The writing of these words has borne My fancy backward to the gracious past The generous past, when all was prospering, For all was then untried.

A friend of our page very .thought­ fully furnished us with a sample of a tea substitute which she has just received from British Columbia, It is toasted apple pulp, a fine, dry, crumbly substance.. It may be us­ ed as an addition to tea, in th© pro­ portion of 2 parts tea to one of the substitute, or may be used alone. We tried it with the tea leaves and found that the flavor was not ap­ preciably altered. With so many ingenious substitutes for things we have long looked upon as indespen- sible, one wonders if our tastes may not be greatly altered by the time the war ends.

Do not allow anything metallic to touch the coil of open elements and the range at the same time when the switch is on. It will cause a short circuit. Do not use open toasting—for large i toast use top oven broiling pan and rack. Keep salt away from open ele­ ments as it is destructive to them. Keep your tea* kettle free from lime.

He advises that wool be chosen, not for pleasantness in knitting, but for the purpose for which it must serve. He stated a fact which personal experience has verified, that imported fingering yarn will shrink and “full” in spite of the most careful Canadian affected, ■putation specially Mr. Bird son for this. The Severn River, he says, is the last blue water you see on your way to Muskoka. That is because from.. the Severn south there is limestone, which precipitates the vegetable matter coming from the swamps. From there north there is no lime, so the water retains its vegetable matter and its softness. . The sheep ■ drink this water and their flesh is tenderer and their wool softer. The effect of a high average rainfall up­ on the vegetation doubtless contrib­ utes to this result, too. And sheep moved, up from Southern Ontario have, after a generation or two, soft­ er wool than they had before. * # * # < * X* # X, Xf M KITCHEN- KINKS To keep parsley, chives, let­ tuce or other green stuff fresh, wash, shake off all water, and •put in a clean, dry, glass fruit jar, screwing the lid down tight, Keep cool, - ■ O - , Callouses on the sole of the foot or on the hands may be re* lieved by placing a strip of ad­ hesive tape over the callous.

Near the mummified were found vanity cases and make-up, nail-files, mirrors and even crude tweezer-like instruments which the owner had evidently used for eye­ brow-plucking.
