Arrange the meat in a dripping pan and place in a hot oven which should have the temper­ ature lowered gradually. Baste with drippings occasionally. When the meat is well browned place apples, which have been cored, in the pan with the meat. Fill the cavity of each apple with brown sugar and let bake until soft. In serving, arrange the apples as a border around the spare­ ribs.

Remove crack­ lings and all fat, leaving but one tab­ lespoon. Add flour. Bro'wn slowly. Add onion. Brown slightly, then add tomatoes. Season the meat and add. Cook in fireless cooker four hours. A COLD DESSERT FOR A HOT DAY By Betty Barclay Young appetities sometimes suffer during the hot summer months,'and anxious mothers are hard pressed to see that their children get proper nourishment in an easily digestible form. Since milk is, in itself, an al­ most perfect food, tasty, chilled milk desserts will prove a valuable addi­ tion to the menu . Here is one that will -tempt even the most jaded ap­ petite: Chocolate Ice Cream (Freezer) 2 Rennet Dessert Tablets 2 tbsps. cold water 2 ounces chocolate 3 cups milk 1 cup heavy cream 1% cups’ sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring Dissolve Rennet Dessert Tablets in cup with 2 tablespoons cold water.

Oi only have a pair of pyjamas.” Klcah: “How come lightnin’ nevah strike twice in de same place?’ ’ Bode: ’“Dat ain’t no mis’try. Aftah de lightnin’ strike de same place ain’t thah no mo’.” Customer: “I don’t want to buy your crackers; they tell me the mice are always running over them.” Giocer: That ain’t so; why the cat sleeps in the barrel every night.” Gladys: What is your favorite sport?” Young Doctor: “Sleighing.” Gladys: “No, I mean apart from business.” The careful driver came to the rail­ road crossing. He stopped, looked and listened. The only sound he heard was the car behind crashing in­ to his gas tank. No wonder Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are better! Their de­ licious flavor has never been imitated! Serve Kellogg’s at any time of the day. They’re always tempting and wholesome in milk or cream. And they digest easily. When you ask for Corn Flakes —be sure to get Kellogg’s. Oven-fresh and flavor-perfect. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. Nothing takes the place of CORN FLAKES amateur theatricals.

J. Hungerford, president of the Canadian National Railways, outlined the tremendous strides that had been made in railroading since he entered the railway business 50 years ago. “I can say in all truth that which has been accomplished has tran­ scended the vision of the pioneers”, Mr. Hungerford said. “Those who planned the Champlain and St. Lawrence and brought it into being no matter how optimistic they might have been, could hardly have foreseen what a mighty instrument of national welfare the railway was to be in Canada. The railway has been, and is the mightiest single force in thet welding together of Canada and in the preservation of it aS a nation. It is a mighty servant of the people. When this railway Was conceived there was likewise brought into being that chain of circumstances which led to the formation of the Canadian National Railways, with its scr- vices to every, province of the Dominion. It is the aim of the Canadian National Railways, the largest railway system on the North American continent, still to be in the vanguard of progress; to be a Worthy instrument in^the develop­ ment of this great nation?’ At the ceremony at St, Johns, Quebec, commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the operation of the first Canadian pas­ senger train, a full-sized model of the “Dorchester”, the first Canadian engine, was shown in comparison with one of the new 6400 type of „the Canadian National Railways, the largest streamlined locomotive in the world. The “Dorchester”, with tender, was 21 feet long; the 6400, with tender, 04 feet 7 inches. The 6400 is longer than the entire passenger train of 1836.
