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.

Sentimental Landlady (at table): “It’s sad to think this1 poor little lamb should be slaughted in the 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. j|c $ ifc 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. fay Feepk Suffer From Sheumatio Pain There are people wlio suffer from rheumatic pains year in and year out regardless of the season or the weather.
