Co-operation and working together for a common cause are more imporant to-day than at any time during the last decade——and the women of Ontario are rising to the occasion. An anal­ ysis of our mail will vouch for that. Good old-fashioned neighborliness and willingness to share with others are expressed in your letters. They are reminders of those days when neighbors everywhere exchanged a loaf of bread for a jar of preserves over the back fence, It is significant of this growing together in these times that Mrs. M. looks up old recipes gathered during the last war and sends them for you and me. We do appreciate all suggestions and discussions per­ taining to our problems, SPICED COTTAGE PUDDING Suggested by Mrs, C.

To plant slips of geraniums, etc., put some lumps of charcoal in the pot-—wood ash charcoal keeps the earth sweet. 2. For potted plants on the win­ dow-sill, use glass gliders that you buy for furniture. They are con­ venient to use on a narrow legde. 3. Always water plants with a little warm water—preferably at night. 4. Do not forget to pot some pars­ ley. It grows easily and supplies a summer green for winter salads. * * * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. G. S. asks: How can the flat flavor of fish be prevented? Answer: Sprinkle well with salt and let stand a few hours, then rinse off. Soaking fresh-water fish in water destroys flavor. Mrs. B. J. asks: Recipe for Boiled Salad Dressings without eggs. Answer: % tsp. mustard, 1 tsp. salt, Vs tsp. pepper, % tsp. celery salt, 1 tb. flour, ttb. sugar, 1 cup cream, 2 tbsps. vinegar. Mix dry ingredients together; add cream and stir until blended. Then add hot vinegar and cook until smooth and creamy. (% cup milk and % cup melted butter may be used instead of cream.) Mrs. N. M. asks: Why do mer­ ingues liquefy on some pies and not on others made from the same beaten egg whites? Answer: Filling should be cool­ ed slightly before meringue is put- on or meringue will liquefy under­ neath. Beaten egg whites should be kept cool and should not stand too long before used. * *• » Anne Allan invites you to write to her %The Exeter Times-Advocate.
