More than ever this year, ways must be found to store vegetables such as cucumbers, pick­ ling onions and beets without sug­ ar. Since pickles make a plain en­ tree very tempting, we list a few recipes that may be helpful. UNCOOKED MUSTARD PICKLE 1 gallon cider vinegar, 1 cup salt, 2 ounces white mustard seed, 1 ounce of tumeric, U lb. dry mustard, 1 -pepper, 2 cups saccharine (two lets), cucumber, flower, etc. Combine vinegar 1 tsp. cayenne brown sugar, %-grain tab­ onions, cauli- _ _ ___ ___„J| and flavorings. Cut prepared vegetables in suitable sizes and place in the liquid. Cover with heavy plate to keep vegetables under liquid. The longer the vege­ tables are left in the liquid, the better the flavour. Stone or glass jars are desirable. PICCALILLI 1 peck green tomatoes, 6 green peppers, 6 onions, 1 cup salt, 1 cup horseradish, 1 cup sugar, 1 tbsp, cloves, 1 tbsp, cinnamon, 4 tbsps. allspice, vinegar.

Please give detailed directions: Answer: Good fried chicken de­ pends upon: Thorough coating of -flour, browning, rich gravy and cooking until tender. Disjoint 3 to 3% lb. frying chicken, cutting breast in 2 parts, Each piece needs its section of skin to keep it from drying. Blend 1% tbsps. salt, 1% tbsps. paprika to 1 cup flour, and pat into, the washed pieces—(save leftover flour for gravy. Heat % inch of melted fat in skillet until it will sizzle a drop of water. A nine-inch skillet will require two- thirds cup fat. Start meaty pieces first; then brown small pieces. Do not crowd while -browning. When •browned on both sides, add 2 or 3 tbsps. Cook large Low. excess fat in pan. Make a paste of 2 tbsps. fat and 2 tbsps. flour, blend in pan over low heat. Stir in 2 cups boiling water or giblet stock and cook 10 mins.

A number from the community visited on Friday evening with Mr, and Mrs. Howard Kerslake, the occasion being in honor of Lieut. Grant Taylor and his bride. W.M.S. Church three p.m. in the schoolroom with Mrs. Basil Edwards presiding, The meeting opened by singing, “God is our Refuge and our Strength”, after which Mrs. Roy MacLaren read the Scripture from Isaiah 3 0, verse 15 and Psalm 46, and led in prayer. Following the singing of “O Master Let Me Walk With Thee,” the roll call was answered with “Patience” as the text word. The offering was received and the president, Mrs. Hannah Workman presided over the business. The topic on “The Church in China and Japan,” was taken by Mrs. Edwards and meeting Leadeth and the was most closed Me, O Lord’s* interesting, by singing, Blessed Prayer * •* The "He Thought”, in unison. While business in practically every line of commerce and indus­ try in Canada may presently be classified as good this applies par­ ticularly to the fur industry; in fact it never was so active in raw fur production, on fur -farms, in trap­ ping, in fur manufacturing and in the retail trade. Recent auction sales in different centres throughout Canada, where most of the wide variety of Cana­ dian fur pelts are offered, have been marketed by the most active demand at record prices, says W, M. Ritchie, Chief, Fur Inspection and Grading Services, Dominion Department of Agriculture. The top) sales is the return of men in the ©rice paid for wild mink pelts dur- - armed forces from the European so that the cost for the skins alone would be $5,400, and to make a top quality coat involves infinite skill and considerable time. With inci­ dental costs added such as insur­ ance, a reasonable margin of prof­ it, 25 per cent government tax in Canada would run the total bill up to approximately $10,000. Money For Eur$ Just what will be the fur codts and other garments most in demand for next season, Mr. Ritchie said, is more or less uncertain, as all kinds of fur are selling readily.

Many of them have saved fairly sizeable amounts of money and they are eager to buy their wives, sweethearts, mothers or other women relatives, from whom long Many ing a ployment has been at a high point at reasonably good pay, so that a greater percentage of people have more money to spend, than in the pre-war years and the fur trade is getting a good share of the ready money. Though the demand for furs of all kinds has been advancing dur­ ing the war years, the output of raw fur pelts in Canada, "due to the increase in fur ranching and a pol­ icy of conservation in the areas where wild furs are trapped, has increased, says Mr. Ritchie. He has just completed a survey showing the number available and values for 10 seasons beginning with 1934-65 and ending with 1943-44. -Follow­ ing are a few of the- comparative figures: Ten years ago the number of beaver pelts sold was 50,175 at an average price of $8.03. In 1943- 44 pelts sold were 126,000 and the average ,price was $35.37. Compara­ tive figures for ermine (weasel)’ were .577,688—48 cents; 800,641— $1.65; mink, 1.83,305—($8.93; 363,- 9'73 at $16.70; muskrat (1935-36) — 1,630,231 — $1.18; 1,980,893 — $2.26; silver fox, 120,465—$35.53; 152,188—$33. Exports and. Imports Though Canada is principal producing notably high quality quantity is imported parts of the world, value of imported furs was $9,137,- 778 compared with a value of $3,847,602 in 1938, the year before the outbreak of the world war. These imported furs come from many countries. Mo^st of the Persian lamb comes from British West Af­ rica, though sizeable quantities are imported from Afghanistan, Persia, and Russia. A total of 686,683 skins valued at $4,196,585 were imported in 194 4, Rabbit fur, which is the finished product, is known as Aus­ tralian, Arctic, Baltic, French or some .other kind of seal, is next to Persian lamb in the value of import­ ed furs. They come principally from Australian, with lesser num­ bers from the United States, Swit­ zerland, New Zealand, the British Isles and Newfoundland. In 1944 imports aggregated *3,461,000 skins valued at $1,488,454. More than half a million squirrel 'skins came i-n last year from the United States and Russia valued at $508,548. All the raccoon skins imported come from the United States and are of the kind for making coats. Most of the Canadian type raccoon is used for trimming purposes. Last year’s imports were 202,762 skins with a value of show up garments from the and New ing the season was $67.50; ranch mink $42; marten, fisher, $185; platinum fox, $230; platinum silver fix, $180; marked silver fix, $140; standard silver fox, $105. Muskrat skins, from which Hudson Seal is made, sold as high as $4.70 per pelt, a really fancy price. Pelts at this price would probably be from the Rideau (Lakes or the Rice Lake districts in Ontario, the locale of the very best. At the auction fur sales in Mont­ real in June of this year, ermine and wild mink prices were 4-0 per cent above those paid in April; ranch mink and badger were up 25 per cent; marten, beaver and musk­ rat sold from,;,15 „to 25 .per cent higher. Keen Mbijaand linked with higher costs In every direction were the causes of the upward surge in •prices. This means that milady’s fur coat or any other fur garment or article made of this year’s pelts, whether of top or lower grade fur, is going to cost more. If she fancies a mink coat made from, top quality wild pelts, such as those that re­ cently sold at $67.50, it would cost around $10,000. It takes 80 pelts to make a mink coat of this type, for $160;McNeight, is one of worked on Base the the Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the W.M.S., W.A., and Red Cross met at the home of Mrs. W.

Boils are an outward indication of impurities in the system, and just when you. think you are rid of one another crops up to take its place and prolong your misery. All the lancing and poulticing you can do may not stop more’ , coming. 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?
