In adding chocolate to a recipe let the chocolate take the place of some fat and flour. One ounce of chocolate is the equivalent of about 11 table- spoons fat and 1 tablespoon flour. Kidney, brains, heart and liver should be considered economy Ilea'd- liners because they furnish so much food value, Alwys serve pork well cooked. Crackers can be restored to ,their original crispness by heating them slowly in the oven, With every glass of whole milk— thers's protein, fat, calcium, phosphor- us, milk, sugar, and some vitamins added to the ,diet. Care in cooking cheese is absolute- ly necessary, Temperature must be kept low—the cheese should merely be heated enough to melt it. Over- heating toughens cheese and makes it stringy.

HOUSING SCHEME IS NOW DRAFTED Home Extension Plan Will Permit Housing Loans. Effected By War Work The Federal Government has taken a new step to meet Canada's growing housing shortage by drafting a home extension plan aimed at creating new housing accommodation by loans to householders in all towns and cities where the deficiency is caused directly or indirectly by war activities. The new plan, announced last night by FinanCe Minister Ilsley will be in operation by September 1st, and is one of several methods adopted by the government to meet the housing short- age which has developed from war- time booms in many Canadian muni- cipalities, Mr. Isley's announcement said spec- ifically that the plan is "solely for the purpose of assisting owners to im- prove or repair the homes which they now occupy," Otherwise, it is in most of its essentials to the old Home Improvement Plan. The new plan is based on an item placed in the supplementary estimates during the closing days of the last sit- ting of parliament which was to en. able householders 10 divide their hotnes into self-contained duplexes or apartments by a limited government guarantee of loans being provided, The total amount of-loans which may be guaranteed must not exceed $2,000,000. Handled Through Banks Under the scheme, loans will be handled through the chartered banks:, with the maximum rate of interest at a discount rate of 314 per cent, for a one-yeat loan ipayable in 12 equal Monthly instalments, and proportion- ate .rates for other periods, "This is equivalent to an effective interest rate of 0,32 per cent, a year,"'' Said Mr. Ilsley. 'Loans Must be re,- paid ,in not more than 60 monthly stall:meats aptl,tbe ,tninirnttm pay mem is $15 mottle • Coasts ':maybe triode for the lull cost of construction, provided they cli*ot exceed $1606 for tbe,firatloomittis- Keyed to thesNeeds tami.mmarisupw, of theESeasona Casual and dressy styles, to. suit, each date. on. your. busy calendar..

C. A. I met some very nice people, The congregation was made up of Austral- ians, English, Canadians and Ceylon- ese, Most of the educated Ceylonese people speak English very well and are very friendly, In fact most of the people on the Island can speak a little English. But they are very prim- itive in their way of doing things. Most of the hauling is done by oxen' and they have rickshaws pulled by collies that take the people around One night one of our boys hired a rickshaw for two hours. By the time the two hours were up the colly was getting pretty tired so the fellow put the colly in the rickshaw and pulled it himself. Most of the natives are Buddists, about 10 per cent. of the population is Christian, The remainder are made up of Mohammedans, Hindus. I was playing tennis yesterday at a club run by the Roman Catholics. The members are very friendly and also good tennis players. I would like to keep on writing about this Island for a long time but will have to cut it short as .a letter is supposed to weigh Vs ounce for air mail anything over that goes by sea and it would take months to reach you. These letters also cost 36 cents to send, I am going to try and ans- wer as many letters as I can afford but fell the people who wdote me to be patient also tell them to keep on send- ing as many letters as possible.
