It has long been recognized that moderate temperatures are better for the health. To ensure comfort, get into warmer clothes rather than pile on more fuel. Tests show that for every degree over 68° coal consumption is increased 3%. Keeping your home at 68° instead of 76° may save almost a quarter of your fuel. pueoitniecoM CLIMB INTO WARMER CLOTHES Ask your local fuel dealer for your free copy of the book let "33 WAYS TO SAVE ONE TON IN FIVE''today.

TAKE A TIP: Weights and measures of foods commonly used in Chritsmas bak ing: 16 oz. = 1 lb.; B oz. butter~ 1 tbsp.; 4B oz. cornstarch — 1 cup; 1 lb. cranberries = 1 quart; 1 lb. currants (dry) =2 3-8 cups; 1 lb. all-purpose flour = 3 14 cups; 1 oz, flour =3 tbsps.; 8 oz, lard = l cup; 4. ozs. macaroni = 1 cup; 5 oz. raisins = cup; 8 oz. orange juice = 1 cup; 1 lemon yields 3 tbsps. juicb and '3 tsps, grated rind; 12 oz. molasses = 1 cup; 5B oz. brown sugar = 1 cup (not packed, but level); 5 oz. —1 measuring cup.♦ ♦ * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. G. C. asks: Should raisins be washed before mixing in fruit cake’’? Answer: Not necessaiy to wash seeded or Lexican raisins but sul tanas should be washed, drained and patted with a towel to remove excess water. Mrs. D. G. says: We have a con siderable amount of chidken fat after using some of our too-fat-for- market fowl. When used in baking it, it flavours the product — can this be overcome? Answer; Do not substitute equal quantities of chicken fat for the re quired shortening. Use 2-3 cup chicken fat to substitute for 1 cup fat, Keep chicken fat in a covered glass or enamel container and store in a cool place. Mrs, C. K, suggests: Candied orange peel to substitute for 'Christ mas candy . , . but not too much. * * T. Ann Allan invites you to write to her %The Exeter Times-Advocate.

Everyone of them, therefore, man and woman, going on Active Service, is offered by the British & Foreign Bible Society a copy of the-' Scrip tures, and nearly 600,000 copies have been distributed to date. In cluded are Testaments to our own prisoners of war in Hong-Kong, Germany, and elsewhere, and copies to German and Italian prisoners of war in Canada. Life-boats and rafts of the Royal Canadian Navy have been equipped by the Bible Society with waterproof Testaments. This is a service which the boys and girls from Exeter and district have shared with hundreds of thou sands of others. An opportunity is therefore to be given to all to help the Bible Society defray the cost which amounts to about $60.00 a day. Special services will ,be held in the churches in Exeter on Sunday, December 5th, at the usual hour, to which everyone will receive a printed invitation by mail. These services should be attended and a worthy offering made to the Bible Society fox' its work especially as little or nothing has been contributed for some six years by this .town. Let us, for a start, support this excellent piece of war-work for one day— SIXTY DOLLARS! READING,ENG.—Nobody, I am sure, will be in the least surprised to read that more things have been happening to me. I do ‘buy it,’ don’t 1? It is this homeless, haphazard sort of existence one has to lead, of course—-at everybody’s mercy. Any thing at all may happen and, wnen it does, one is involved. I am out of my old lodgings. Illness sudden ly descended on the house and my room was wanted for a nurse, A nice predicament indeed in a town filled to the brim with people. Incidentally, the empty, the invalid home and the nurse still somewhere up in the clouds; but that is neither here nor there. One week in. which to pack, scrabble together every thing I have in the world and find somewhere to live. Small wonder that I lost nearly seven pounds in weight! Something, definitely, had to be done. I stepped over the suit-cases, saucepans, piles of papers and other effects and, hopping on the trusty Grace, cycled out into the country. It was good to get away from the muddle for an hour or two; and per-1 haps there might be some corner for me in a cottage somewhere. Wild of eye, I covered the two miles between the old pitch and the home of a friend who, I thought, might be able to suggest somebody in her village. She lives in a beautiful old house that is really an ancient farm en larged and improved. It is of the Tudor period, with timbered walls and lovely mellow roofs. The gard ens laid out; there are old oak beams and flagged paths and yew hedges; place to dream about. are broad and wonderfully i a A World of Welcome I don’t imagine they will quickly forget my arrival, port is a frantic problem for us now; but my pal the doctor leapt to the rescue by putting in a word for me with one of his patients— a coal merchant, So, when the day came, I rolled up here in a coal van, my luggage piled at the back, I do not suppose any visitor has ever arrived here before with this peculiar distinction. There was much mirth about it. I emerged from my seat on a clean sack, looking none the worse. But there was one other little episode which impressed me, and that was when the coal merchant, carrying a trunk into my room, admired the roses which had been placed there to welcome me. My hostess, with out a word, had a bunch brought for him, so the coal van went home again smelling like a garden. How many people, I wonder, would hav* thought of that sweet and gracious action? I think her whole life is like that: full of thought for others. Of course the war has left its mark, even out here among the rolling fields and the woods. The gardens are running wild and the once-smooth lawns get only an oc casional mowing; most of the staff bedrooms are empty and the hot- water system has been suspended. We do most of our own washing and all sorts of other economies are the vogue. There are tomato plants where tulips once made a blaze of color, and huge beds have been given up to sunflowers for phea sants’ food. There is no waste, no nonsense, no humbug about ‘appear ances.’ Nobody moans about it; nobody makes a fuss. (Quite frank ly, I have come across far more waste, fuss and various bits of non sense in those brick villas!) Plenty to Kick About J. W.

OF STARVING GREEKS A.C.P. dispatch from Atlantic city says that Canada’s gift of 15,00 0 toils of wheat a 'month to Greece is feeding 40 per cent of that enslaved country, according to reports brought to the U.N.R.R.A. conference by those closely touch with conditions in countries. The wheat regularly on the agency of Red Cross and is only wheat entering Greece, Among the advisers and observ ers at this huge conference which is attempting to design machinery for the speedy rehabilitation of the occupied and war-torn countries, are those who, through personal visits or reports from escaping refu gees are up to date on conditions in Greece and other occupied areas. Although they cannot be identi fied or quoted they have brought reports that Canada’s gift to. Greece has been one of the most practical and vital examples of relief of the war victims. This gift, which has been carried on for about a year may eventually become a part of Canada’s con tribution to U.N.R.R.A. beginning at a date to be fixed. $00,000,000 Share At the present time it is esti mated to the will be 10 per the remainder in kind. According to information avail able the gift wheat sent to Greece is being devoted entirely to feed ing the Greek people and the Ger mans are co-operating in its dis tribution. it is possible, an observer said, that some Canadian wheat might be consumed by Germans but only under a, strictly-observed exchange by which equivalent food is made available to the Greeks. Such an exchange -might take place in a case where transporta tion difficulties made it mere ef ficient to give wheat to the Ger mans at otte point where they were short and have them deliver an equivalent amount to Greeks in another area, that Canada’s contribution annual cost of U,N,R.R.A. about $90,000,000 of which cent will be in cash and She came out to meet me: charming and pretty in her bright summer frock, with a smile of I welcome that did me a world of!
