Boyle "Mpther Is Sick" When the head of the household gets sick there is usually a lot of noise and moaning , 'and he announces on frequent occasions that he is almost done in. He recalls that he has been working too hard and speaks often of quitting farming and retiring . not mentioning how the family will live. But then of course lie is too sick to think of that. It is 'most surprising how smoothly .and calmly everything proceeds in spite of Dad being sick. The chores get done . . . the meals are on time . . and the house is kept warm and comfortable at all times. Life travels along in fact as if there was nobody missing from the household scheme of affairs. How vastly different it is when Mother gets sick! 'First of all the fires don't seem to burn right and from constant poking and stirring little piles of ashes heap up beside the doors. Occasionally a vagrant belch of eye-stinging smoke goes wandering up in the direction of the ceiling. There is a gray coldness that seems to settle over the house. The piled-up dishes in the sink . . . the clothes that have slithered from the chairs where they were .carelessly tossed and the dust that piles up so quickly on the furniture. The wood seems to shed chips leaving a' trail from the wood- shed to the wood box and from there to the stove.

DIE MIXING BOWL M ANNE ALLAN Wee Nome lisimiessid The Swing is to Scheduled Meals Hello Homemakers! I ask you! Can you prepare three delicious, satisfying, health-giving meals in less than two hours a day? For four oeople? An Hour and a half is really time enough. But there is a big secret to make it possible. When sowing vegetable seeds, part- icularly small seeds, it is important to choose a day when the ground is in good working condition. Should there be any doubt about the fitness of 'the soil, take a handful of soil and squeeze it. If, on releasing, the soils falls apart, it is in good condition for work- ing but it •it hangs together in a sticky RAKE SEEDEEDTHOPOUONLY TO REMOVE STONES, LU MPS Preparing outdoor soil for tory gardens ball the ground is too wet and mast be allowed ,more time to ,dry or the surface will "cake" after working and the seeds will germinate badly from lack of air.

Plan dinner first - the biggest meal of the day. After deciding on your meat, it's important to chaose vege- tables to, accompany it that will be cooked by the time the meat is ready. If desserts are to be served hot, they should be qpick-cooking - made be- tween the time the vegetables are put on and the serving hour - or desserts that can stand before baking.
