So dependent is he upon it for his comfort and inspiration, that the very word has become a symbol for everything bright and beautiful and pure. But how sadly has this good gift been profaned and mishandled! Perverted to the ends of destruction, the ’’Greek fire” that turned back the infidels at the gate of Byzantium can now lay Whole cities in smoking ruins, A single bomb can work moie destruction than was formerly wrought by whole armies. The fire is essentially the symbol of th© home, the centre of comfort ’ around which revolves all the multiple graces of domestic order and hos pitality. In the pioneer days the hanging of the crane in the fireplace was a ceremony of dedication for the new house. How did folks manage to light their fires before matches were common? There was, of course, the flint and steel with its box of fine, dry tinder to catch the spark, but that must have been a tricky process. It was the custom ni the early days to roll a great backlog into the fireplace which would burn tor days, anti against it the coals wore banked fox* the night. In times ox emergency a man might even take his iron pot and borrow coals fioin his neighbor’s hearth to kindle his own fire. But in the long ago what a id they do? How did He kindle the coals where the fish lay toasting in that early morning when He called His tired friends to breakfast beside the Lake of Galilee? Such speculations as these make us long to understand the wonderful tale that the fire could tell as it burns itself out in glancing 41anie' —The Missus THE HOMEMAKER OLD PRODUCTS FROM NEW SOURCES SALADA News of Hensall day under the direction of Mr. R.

Through her work in connection with Women’s Institutes and with one of the starch companies, she made personal contact in many On tario localities and her quick re sponse and sound commonsense have made her something of a community possession. She has directed the Women’s Building at the C.N.E. for its last two sessions and at present edits a food column in the Montreal Standard. She has now -been appoint ed supervisor of the conservation program for the Consumer's Branch of the W.P.T.B. and will conduct a campaign for the conservation of food, clothing and equipment. En joying, as she does, popular confi- i'dence, and with her unbounded re sources of energy and ingenuity, she should be a success in her new work. We hope to have her back with her broadcast in September. —o— Mme. Chiang Kai-shek is so far recovered from her recent indisposi tion as to be back in the news. Of her many activities the most note worthy, perhaps, is her appearance before the United States Congress, .where in her own incomparaole style, born of enthusiasm for the ■cause of her embattled homeland, she presented the needs of China to ] the attention of what may have : seemed at times, a somewhat apath- atic America. The results of intensified chemi cal research continue in volume and interest. A concentrate prepared from the cores and peelings of de hydrated apples, is a new source of a product which can take the place of glycerine in various types of pro cessing. Glycerine is so essential in war materials that any salvage in its use is very valuable.

It can be brought to the producing stage in a quarter the time in which the Brazilian rub ber plant can become commercially useful. Sunflowers have always had a place in the farm garden and have been recognized as a valuable ad dition to poultry food, but since with the fall of the East Indies we have lost the source of many of our im portant oils, the sunflower has as sumed a new importance. Develop ed as a commercial crop through the foresight of Mr. Ross, in Sas katchewan, is has proved a paying proposition. This year it is plan ned to plant 10 0,000 acres to sun flowers. After the oils have been extracted there still remains an oil cake that is 50 per cent higher in protein than any other stock feed. $ < * ft * KETTLE AND PAN sister and brother-in- Mrs. Lome McNaugh- meeting of the W.M.S. i t It is fittig too that we pay a word of triubte to the work of Mrs. Virna Sheard who passed away suddenly a few days ago.

For pot roast and meat pies— Rump cuts. For hamburgers and meat loaves —Flank cut. For corned beef—Brisket.x For roast beef—Rib cuts. As a butter-saver nothing can take the place of good gravy. So we may plan to serve it often and in varied form. It does not always have to be ■used with the meat. Good hot brown gravy served over bread or sand wiches is a nourishing and appetiz ing supper dish in any man’s lan guage. Leftover gravy is an addition to meat pies or stews and a little may often be used to flavor butter less vegetables or even to enrich the soup pot. Meat coo'ked in a very hot oven will give a browner, richer gravy, but most food experts seem to be on the side of slow cooking for a roast, as it makes for uniformity in cook ing and less shrinkage. Most cooks prefer to cook a roast uncovered on a rack, and not to baste or turn it. The best gravy is made tight in the pan where the roast has been cooked, allowing one tablespoon of fat to one of flour, according to the amount of slowly ovei’ ture is rich cold water half-cup to used.
