"Why Borden’s Ice Cream, of course!" recalls Elsie, the Borden Cow. “Imagine me forgetting for a moment that delicious, creamy- smooth Borden’s Ice Cream is just teeming with proteins, min­ erals and vitamins! That it’s a great energy food! Hello, Homemakers! Hints home nurses is our thought for the day. With the shortage of nurses and hospital rooms, many illnesses, unless critical, might be treated at home. This, of course, will depend on the advice of your doctor, Home nursing js no easy job, especially when the homemaker has to run the house and take care of the rest of the family, too. Recently, many women have taken the course in home nursing and realize that defi­ nite instructions should be carried out with regard to sleep, food and medicines. Then, there’s also the problem of keeping the convalescent in a contented frame of mind, It’s easy enough to say, but to do. Children are so they're well, that it’s possible to keep them sick bed, especially when they are on the road to recovery. Things around home can be used to advan­ tage for construction work on a tray in front of them , , . for in­ stance, a paper jig-saw puzzle, hard coked eggs to decorate, clip, into Tack them come g?owil-ups like someone to read tu them.

At first, patients are placed on liquid diet which includes milk, buttermilk, < malted milk, cocoa, cream clear broth, whole grain gruels, strained fruit and tables, ices, sherbets and ice They should have one quart of milk a day, no more, as you do not want to “sicken” them of it.

Ginger ale, cof- and tea are sometimes served variety, rather than food value. Soft diets may be recommended by the doctor, especially after liquid diets, for a soft diet, soft- cooked or poached eggs, custards and all simple cooked puddings, cooked whole-grain cereals, and sieved vegetables. On a light diet you add meat such as chicken, lamb baked fish, all cooked raw citrus fruits. A full diet means all are removed except that rich puddings, and pastries omitted or given in small amounts until the patient gets back to regu­ lar routine. Foods with a strong flavor, such as onions, cauliflower, cabbage and turnips should be used cautiously. Excessively sweet * foods such as jams, preserves and candies should be given sparingly. Condiments and spices should be used as little as possible, while scorched foods, poor ly sieved foods or large pieces of meat should be avoided. All foods should be cooked care­ fully to preserve vitamins, minerals and ease of digestion. Dishes need color, variety of flavoi’ and -attrac­ tive servings. Serve meals on an attractive tray, with pretty dishes, perhaps a flower or gay cloth— anything to perk up the patient.

The most pala­ table food may be spoiled by Al­ lowing it to stand after being pre­ pared. 2, Cover tray with a clean servi­ ette or tray cloth, Avoid serving too many things or too large por­ tions. When the nature of the dish permits, add a piece of red cherry, or a small sprig of parsley. 3, If possible, taste all foods and drinks before serving, for seasoning and temperature, Always use a separate spoon for tasting. 4, When liquid foods are to given, other receptacles should used tliqn those used for medicine or the association of ideas may be strong enough to destroy what little appetite the patient has, Fill cups and glasses to within one inch of the top—not full. 5, Cover all foods and drinks left standing in the sickroom. The tray and all traces of the meal should be removed immediately after eat­ ing. Care should be taken, however, not to hurry the patient through a meal. 6, The diet of a patient should be under the supervision of a hig directions followed be be doctor implic- Store the food supplies containers in a cool and itly. 7. ered preferably the refrigerator.

A. number of good teachers had gone to larger centres. When asked the reason for this he said that higher salaries and se­ curity were the explanation. Sal­ aries in the county have been stead­ ily increased and now average $1,100. The custom of school boards’ buying suppies of books, etc., tor the children is spreading rapidly. Where agricultural high schools are set up, they have done very good work.

Fesster, of the Ontario Safety League, [ also a speaker at the afternoon . sion. “Traffic accidents,” he dieted, would “grow by leaps bounds” after the war, when and travel restrictions were moved. He suggested that traffic training schools be established to instruct boys and girls in the High­ way Traffic Act. Pedestrian safety, he thought, could only be reached through the medium of the schools, radio and churches. Bicycle riders should be organized into clubs, he suggested; and he advocated the es­ tablishment of safety commissions. Bruce Matheson, agricultural rep­ resentative, gave a comprehensive review of the work accomplished during the year. He announcea that Ruth Carnochan, Seaforth, had been selected to compete in junior farm extension work in a competi-] tion to be held in Chicago. Some 3,900 bags of milkweed floss, collected by the children, are ready to be shipped. He felt there would be a great deal of postwar work to be dohu. There is much land in the county which might be bettei’ under trees. He hoped to have a soil survey of the county, and suggested that a recommendation for such a survey he sent to the Department Of Agri­ culture.

Thev are going out in the forces to far away places, not only as soldiers in the army, ail’ force and navy but soldiers for Christ. There has been ’nvaluable assistance given our forces in this war by Christians in foreign lands, who were formerly savages, largely due to the influence of missionaries for the past 50 years. In China there is a combined church and they believe there cannot be univer­ sal salvation or lasting peace with­ out unselfishness and above all a love for Jesus Christ.
