THE SUGGESTION BOX Hello Homemakers! Liver and similar meat specialties are due for the spotlight. They are bargains in health as well as economy. Us­ ually thebe pieces arb cheaper than most meats since there is so much less bone,, gristle, and shrinkage. There is a fair supply of liver, sweetbreads, tripe and heart avail­ able. Packed with health builders, liv­ er easily provides your daily need of iron—the mineral which nutri­ tionists agree is the hardest to get adequately in the diet. Also, they contain large amounts of other minerals and protein, and a wealth of vitamin A, and Bl, as well as riboflavin and niacin. "But what good is all this food value unless eaten?” you may say. To be really delicious, care should be taken in the Steps of preparation I stock, add the pasley, carrots and onions, salt and pepper. Simmer siowly until tender, about forty minutes. Tripe with Onions Preparing Tripe—/J?ripe is usual­ ly sold in the city markets already cleaned. If not so obtainable, wash well then over MRS.

Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, into a large mixing bowl. Stir hot milk into dry ingredients, add vanilla and fold in stiffly beat­ en egg whites. Four mixture into an ungreased angel cake pan, bak­ ing electric oven at 350' deg. for one hour or until surface springs back and cake shrinks from centre tube. Invert pan on wire rack so cake can cool thoroughly before be­ ing removed from the pan. MRS. J.

Stewed Kidneys 3 cups veal or beef kidneys, bay-leaves, i lemon, salt and2 pepper, 2 tbsps. flour, 2 tbsps. butter or other fat. Split the kidneys and cut out the hard, white substances and fat from the centre. Wash them well and soak for three or four hours in cold water, changing the water as soon aS it becomes cloudy. Then put the kidneys into a granite pan, add enough water to cover them and heat slowly. When just at the boiling-point, pour off the hot water and again just cover them with cold water, once more heating slowly and again changing the water when hot. Change the water in this way three times, then sim­ mer (twenty minutes for small kid­ neys; forty minutes for a beef kid­ ney.) Set away to cool. If the stew is to be used for a breakfast dish, this preliminary cooking must be done the day ’before. When ready to prepare, separate all the cords and veins from the kidneys, leaving only the lean part. Cut this into Painful, Pus Filled Boils the Cause If you suffer from boils you know how sick and miserable they made you feel.

To help overcome boils you should purify the blood, so why not give that old, reliable blood medicine, Burdock Blood Bitters, a chance to show what it Will do in helping you get rid of them?

Street cars were running and the store windows had stock as good as you have back home, with toys, clothing and food.

The place wh’dre we stayed, everything came free'of. cost.karid:- we^could ride the -street cars' all' day and never cost us a penny. The first thing I did was to .get in a brim­ ming full bathtub and just soak. Then I had a hair-cut and a shave. What inxury, to stretch out in the chair. My uniform pressed arid a shoe shihe, and I wad i'eady for a meal, and it was just as gobd as I’d get back home. It was sure nice t-o have a real bed to sleep in and to lay in as long as I liked.

As per the enclosed card, please be advised that the parribl arrived in perfect condition. Now that the -official ledgement is over, may I say how very pleased I am to be send it. It was wonderful suebi a practical and well-chosen gift arrive from you, at that par­ ticular time. Precisely wten the people of Exeter and District were very much in my thoiights, along carii'e that potent reminder that you werib thinking of us too. It was a token of the real Christmas Spirit at its best. Please accept my sincere thairiks for this special remembrance. There are so many of you around home Wild have contributed geher- ously of time and money that I fear this blanket, “'I’bank you,” Will have to suffice, much as I would like to say it personally and indi­ vidually, and add the warmest “Season’s Greetings”! Although all the personnel on this mid-Atlantic drome are away froni home, so far aS I can find out, I am the only one who Was remembered by his home town. Thus it se’enis that wri Exeter boys are uniquely favored* in haying such kind and thoughtful fellow citizbns. Christmas riiorning saw the ed­ ible parts of the parcel put to the best possible use. My crew, some other friends, and I, had a little party in our hut, and your cake and candy played a major part in the festivities. The other articles have been shelved temporarily, un­ til they will be needed to take over from worn out" equipment. To close may I wish your com-, mitteq, continued success, and, hope that Christmas 1945 will find you out of a job as far as sending par­ cels to overseas servicemen is con­ cerned. Again “Many thanks” and “A Hri'i)py New Year to, ydu all.’*' —^Yours siricerrily, Ted BusWell. « $ 1 ''' Dear Sir;—Once again I take great pleasure in thanking you for the parcel I received a friW days ago. Everything was in splendid condition and I certainly admirie your choice of useful articles. It is indeed gratifying to receive these gifts from the people back home, who follow the news of their boys and whose support we would be lost without. We enjoyed a very marvelous summer which saw us cover many dusty miles of Italy. A summer that saw us enjoy a leave iri Rome, one 'of the finest cities I have seen. And then on to Florence, a centre of art and culture. It too, is a very nice city but is marked with a few scars of the war. And now we find ourselves midst rain and mud preparing for Christ­ mas—one that we know will be, very .good because we are able to make it so even if we are far from the Christmas at home we dream about. Next year L am sure our hopes arid ambitions will be ful­ filled. To tiie people Of Exeter, and vi­ cinity '^kb , make diir « Christmas over hrii’d ihbre bright, I rixterid my deehbst thankb. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and hopirig that the abxt one will sbe us all togeth­ er once again.—Ch'eririo for now, Stan Frayne. * * # Drihr Sir:—Again it is my privi­ lege to write, thanking thd riVeiribefs of youf orgahzation for the grarid parcel yoti sent me, the contents of which will come in handy at some future date. ■Recently my mother sent ane some postcards of the home town and with the arrival of your parcel it brings back memories that I hope will never fade—Some, town that! It may be small, but I still call it home. Just now I am a long way from it—somewhere in Holland- Where it either rains, looks like rain or is going to rain, giving one a damp dUtlook on life in general.

Belgium, It seems to me, hasn’t been as hard hit aS Holland or France. But onb thing really stands out—‘fat people are scared iri any of the three named places—must be the German influ­ ence. Everybody has bicycles-—at least those who were lucky enough to keep them from the Bdche, who seemed to have a w’eakiiesa fbr them. hid Wo Sq far, I haven’t seen many Ex­ eter boys. In fact I only remember .meeting one, and that was Bert Pilon, who in I met la Folkestone, England, We wore in blUets only a couple of blocks apart, With the coming of the Christ­ mas season I want tp wish you, and all th© members of. .your organiza­ tion a Merry Christmas and a Happy New (Year, and to express the hope that the war ehdb sopn, when we can all return to our former lives.

I’m still in hospital although I’ve had some sick leave. In all proba­ bility I’ll be around here for a few weeks to come. I have been very lucky of late to run into several Exeter boys. I ,was able to spend a few days With Gerald Lawson. As well I .met Bob Burns, Clarence McDonald and El- drid Simmons recently. They are all looking fine.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. —Yours sincerely, W. Matthew. 4 * * Dear Friends:—A few lines to say thank you so very much for 'the lovely parcel which arrived yesterday. I can assure you that it Was very welcome and greatly appreciated. It is good to know that pur home town doesn’t forget us, but it Will certainly be good to get back again after spending four years away. • «■ I often sit and wonder just what it will be like to go back and' how much difference there will be; how many of our friends are still there or how many Marie gone. I am afraid there are q'uite a number that won’t get back to find out these things but that is the fortunes of war. It is ah experience, though, that I wouldn’t have missed for a great deal, altli'oiigh a number of times I have Wish’e'd I wa^ some place else, when Jerry wks throwing everything over at us but the kit­ chen stove. Once again I thank you for the parcel and your kindness.—Yours sincerely, R.
