Many of Qiir agriculturists have buildings that are sadly in need of repair, and we hope they take this opportunity to put into shape their buildings that have been neglected for the past few years through no fault of their own. $ * It is said that Jim Braddock has been offered $400,000 for a 12-round no-decision built. The referees may not make a decision iti such a bout but we are sure as Hire the general public will and our guess is that it will not favor Braddock. # The straw vote taken,in the recent Presidential elections were away wide of the mark. President Roosevelt has no need to worry over this guess vote. He got the ones that counted. sp * -s ❖ A gang of boys, from 7 to 12 years of age, raided some cottages at Grand Bend. They only took toys, fishing rods, balls, bats and other articles that a child would fancy. They no doubt acted without thinking seriously of this affair. This mistake if corrected in the proper manner may serve a verv useful lesson for them. Canada may get the opportunity of making munitions for Great Britain.

There is little doubt about this and’ it is hoped that when the Premiers of our provinces meet at Ottawa with the Federal au­ thorities, at least a start will be made to correct the overlapping of ions provincial and federal meats. Premier Hepburn's ideas subject of the duplication of ment services by Federal and l’r«* vincial Governments will receive the endorsation of most people, we arc sure. Premier Hepburn considers that the duplication of services concerning ag­ riculture, health and labor, should re­ ceive attention. If his suggestion is taken seriously, and it. apparently is, .at Ottawa, the December meetings which will be held at Ottawa between the heads of the above named depart­ ments, Provincial and Federal, should be able to form some plan that would eliminate this duplication and relieve the Canadian taxpayer of much unne­ cessary expense.

One Constipation* is not a condition to be treated lightly. Continued neglect of regular habits of elimi­ nation tend to lower your resis­ tance. Then there is the actual discomfort. For constipation* is one cause of headaches, poor appe­ tite, listlessness. Common constipation usually de­ velops when you eat meals that lack sufficient “bulk.” Your system fails to get needed internal exer­ cise. Fortunately, today, you have a generous source of effective “bulk” in Kellogg’s All-Bran. * Within the body, the “bulk” in All-Bran absorbs moisture, and forms a soft mass, which gently cleanses the system. This natural laxative food also supplies vitamin B and contains iron. Serve All-Bran as a cereal, with milk or cream, or cook into muffins, breads, etc. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. Stub­ born cases may require All-Bran oftener. If not relieved .this way, consult your doctor. All-Bran is guaranteed by the Kellogg Company as an effective laxative food for constipation.* Sold by all grocers. Made by Kel­ logg in London, Ontario. ♦Constipation. due to insufficient “bulk'* men trained in the goose-step. Every nation is rearming. AH this does not make sense in a peaceful atmosphere such as ours. ANCIENT PROPHECY WRITTEN IN 1449 Copy of This Prophecy Found in Bible Which Belonged to Bluevale Man’s Mother. This poem is said to have been written in England by one known as stream Fulfillment shall be a strange dream. All England’s sons that plow the land Shall oft be seen with book m hand. The poor shall now most wisdom know And water winds where corn- doth grow/ Great houses stand in far flung vale All covered over with snow and hail, And now a word in uncouth rhyme Of what shall be in future time, For in those far off wondrous days The women shall adopt a craze To dress likp men and trousers wear And cut off all their locks of hair. Then ride hstride with brazen brow As witches do a broomstick now. Then love,shall die and marriage cease The women shall fondle cats and dogs And men live much the same as hogs. In nineteen hundred and thirty-six Build houses of light straw and bricks For then shall mighty war be planned And fire and sword shall sweep the land, But those that live the century through In fear and trembling this shall do Flee to the mountains and the dens To the1 bogs and forests and wild pens For storms shall rage, and cannons roar When Gabriel stands on sea and shore And as he blows his wondrous horn The old world shall die and a new be born. 1'i tsp. nutmeg % cup chopped nut meats Soak chopped apricots in milk about fifteen minutes.

It would be a lost opportunity to serve canned or dried food When fresh was available. But as soon as fresh fruits become less plentiful on the market and are higher in price, even a thought should he* given to the food value, the comparative cost, and the uses for dried fruits. Dried fruits are the most concen­ trated form of fruits and are econ­ omical ti. buy. They are fully ripen­ ed fresh fruits with the water and, in most instances the seed, pit or core removed. The widely used method of removing the water content of the fresh fruits is by sun drying, but it is also done by the dehydrating me­ thod, which is rapid drying by .arti­ ficially heated air. From three to seven pounds of fresh fruit are re­ quired for one pound of dried fruit. The storage-’bf dried fruits is im­ portant. They should be kept at nor­ mal humidity. It Is not advisable to keep them under refrigeration but they should be kept in a cool place, out of draughts and away from rad­ iators, stoves, etc. The cut fruits such as apricots, peaches, pears, and ap­ ples darken when they are exposed to heat. Dried fruits take on odors readily, so should be kept away from strong-smelling, foods. Apricots are one of the most inter­ esting of the dried fruits. There are many ways in which they can be used in cookery. Because they have a truly distinctive flavor they add zest to al­ most any dish. Stewed, they are very good at breakfast-with ready-to-eat cereal, or served for dessert, for the school lunch or for a bedtime supper. Allow six to nine apricot halves for. each serving. One pound of dried fruit is enough for twelve servings. Wash -.he fruit, cover with water and cook gently from thirty minutes to one hour. Add sugar to taste during the last five minutes of cooking. One- half cup of sugar is usually sufficient for one pound Of apricots. In this recipe for Pickled Dried Apricots we meet the fruit in a new form. Fixed this way, it makes an appetizing pickle to serve with meats or in the relish dish on the buffet table. PICKLED DRIED APRICOTS 1 cup larged diced apricots Water 1 cup .'Ugar 3 tbsps’. vinegar 12 whole cloves 1i tsp. mustard seed Stick cinnamon Wash the apricots, ten minutes tn water sugar, vinegar, spices the apricots are tender but still hold their shape. Fill small sterilized jars with the apricots. Cover with syrup and seal. Note: Prunes may be prepared in the sam-’ way. Next we have a recipe for apricot bran bread which is a deliciously dif­ ferent loaf to serve at any meal but is particularly suitable for tea sand­ wiches of to serve with the salad at luncheon.
