Attention -S3
i
Wanted} A number of progressive 'farmers in Western dis
tricts who would like to set out a commercial block of Red
Raspberries, either for your local trade or for shipping to recom
mended city dealers. Recent Ontario-Quebec production figures,
prices at 4<M0c per quart and dealer reports would indicate short
supplies everywhere.
To encourage a limited planting of new high yielding patches,
a well known nursery is sending a special representative of many
years experience in commercial production to personally interview
and educate interested farmers in raspberry culture. This should
result in higher unit yields, longer patch
when translated into dollars at normal
ratio of profit is assured.
Because of the present shortage of
■bookings can only be made for FALL PLANTING- 1947, limited to
one acre.
If genuinely interested in berry growing as a sideline to
farming, write Box 457, Campbellford, Ontario, on or before
January 22nd,,giving location of your farm. Our specialist will
call later and completely analyze the business, soil requirements
and preparation, up-to-date cultural practices, home markets and
surplus shipping, cost of planting, estimated yields and profits
per acre. Late replies cannot be covered.

Sentimental Landlady (at table):
“It’s sad to think this1 poor little

flower of its youth just to satisfy
our appetites.” Cnyical Boarder:
‘Yes, it is tough.”
Hello, ‘Homemakers! What kind
of breakfast should yon have? A
substantial breakfast or none at all.
‘Phis is not a question to be an
swered by “now everybody has been
fed and is off for the day, guess I
should go shopping right away.”
Nor is the answer to be found in
“I must reduce.”
It has been proven that good
■health is maintained 'by a substan
tial meal at the beginning of the
day. And this is true every day in
the year, summer or winter, Break
fast should account toy at least
one-fourth of the protein and one-
fourth of the vitamins and minerals
required daily.
Some people have developed the-
habit of omitting breakfast in an
effort to lose weight, but that is the
wrong way to reduce. Their energy
would be maintained at a more even
keel if they divided the food they
■ eat among three meals a day rather
than two. Planning a well-balanced
diet with three meals a day is .not
a difficult task if a few simple "prin
ciples are followed. But with only
two meals there is .a danger of
omitting some of the important
foods which furnish the much-
needed vitamins .minerals and pro-
'bgverage, which means milk 'for
children. During conservation of
wheat products, serve either cereal
or toast, but not ’both. Even this
economical meal will be well-bal
anced and hearty.
In many ways youi’ body is like
the engine in your car. It takes
fuel in the form of food and trans
forms it into energy, the energy
twith which you accomplish your
day’s work. It is just as reasonable
to expect your car* to start on an
empty tank as to suppose your
body can furnish energy for the
morning’s activities without proper
food.
A good breakfast can work won
ders in the way you feel. Try it
and see how much it adds to your
contentment and the ease with
which you perform your forenoon
tasks.
For a happy, healthy start on the*
day’s activities, serve breakfasts
like these;
(1) Half grapefruit or orange
Bran flakes with milk
French toast
Milk or hot beverage
(2) Prunes Or orange juice
Poached egg on, toast
Muffin and jam
I Cocoa oi’ milk
(3) Baked apple
Oatmeal porridge and raisins
'Milk or coffee.

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. N. K. says: Why do the new
soap, substitutes lose their suds
action quickly and make the water
look so dirty?
Answer: The suds of the wash
ing compounds disappear as the
materials dissolve in the water. The
compounds do not hide the dirt in
teins.
Breakfast can be planned from
five items, namely, fruit, an egg,
cereal or toast, butter or jam and
the solution as the soap-suds do.
Mrs. J. M. says: What is meant
by the inclusion of a detergent in
the washing compound?
Answer: It should mean that
more borax or washing soda has
been added to dissolve grease and
oil, A small quantity of a deter
gent on -materials goes a long way
—so you should not use it as lavish
ly as soap-
Sirs. B. J. asks: What is the dif
ference between a woollen wash
product and a laundry soap for
washing fabrics?
Answer: The difference is the
gentle action of softening water.
As you know, wools and nylons do
not absorb water easily; therefore,
it is advisable to use a “wool-wash”
because they contain a wetting
agent. The cleansing will be morq
thoroughly done.
Mrs. J. T. asks: How can you tell
if a new washing compound con
tains an alkaline detersent? Is it
true that you should not wash wool
and nylon in such a compound?
Answer: You can recognize it 'by
the slippery feel it gives to the
water solution and 'by the failure
to make standing suds. Alkaline
products tend to destroy animal
fibres so it' is not wise to wash
good wools and pastel coloured
clothes in this solution.
Mrs. T. M. asks: Will crickets in
our clothes closet eventually die
without doing any harm?
Answer: A cricket’s chirp indoors
is a signal to start taking action
because they eat holes in clothes.
Provide other food such as a tea
spoon of oatmeal or piece of apple
in which you have sprinkled some
DDT powder.

When King Winter mdkes an all-out attack; man can do little but repair
the damage as fast as possible. Recent power breaks in Niagara and Western
Ontario areas were the direct result of unusual and severe storm conditions:
Because of the flexibility provided by its unified, province-wide organiza
tion, Hydro was able to rush emergency5 repair crews from other parts of Ontario
to restore power* Every effort was directed to this end.
To Oil consumers who suffered in these storm areas, Hydro expresses Its
thanks and appreciation for their patience and understanding in a difficult and
frying situation.
At all times Hydro safeguards service by endeavouring to locate lines
free from trees arid by free trimming: Present storm damages illustfate
advisability of these methods.
during this winter period, storms and power shortage present
great operating problems for Hydro* Your co-operation in the conserving
of power will be of material assistance and much appreciated*
