How Domestic Consumers - Can Save Electricity Conscientious. Adoption Of These Simple Suggestions Will Aid Can- ada's War Effort (Froth Hydro News)). Hydro lighting engineers have out- lined many simple .ways in which the half million domestic consumers in the power shortage areas of Ontario can save electricity which is a vital driving force -back of the war produc- tion programme. These suggestions followed con- scientiously by_ all these consumers, will effect a considerable saving of Power with the .minimum of inconven- ience to the 'consumers themselves. Briefly, the suggestions are as fol- lows; Home Lighting 1. Use only sufficient lamps to pro- vide eye-saving light. 2. Use one light or lamp in the living-room, rather than three or four, and -place so that the family may gather around the one light. • 3. Have the light source as near as possible to work, but avoid glare in the eyes. 4:: Keep lamp shades and fixtures clean; dusty fixtures absorb as much as one-quarter of the light; light- colored walls and ceilings reflect light into the room and absorb less than dark walls. 5. Eliminate cotorecb bulbs, they absorb approximately one-third of the light; replace dark shade linings with white or light colored lining, to re- flect more light. 6. Keep lights off in empty rooms and halls. Hints On Fashions HI Household Hints By MRS. MARY MORTON Win DR. W. M. CONNELL PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Phone 19 J. W.

N. C. asks; "Recipe for cookies using mincemeat," Answer; Mincemeat Drop Cookies 1s cup butter; cup sugar, cup corn syrup, 1 egg, 1 cup mincemeat, 1Y4 cups flour, 2 tsps. baking powder. Cream butter, acid sugar and syrup. Blend well together. Beat in eggs. Mix in measured dry ingredients and mincemeat. Drop by spoonfuls on greased baking sheet. Bake in electric oven at 400' for 10 minutes. Mrs. R. C. asks: "We still -have some cucumbers that have kept well. Can we use saccharine for pickling?" Answer: Yes, but precautions must be taken. Pure saccharine (1 grain) tablets are very strong. The 1./a grain tablet is the equivalent of about 1 tea- spoon sugar. There are 48 teaspoons in a cup, therefore you would use twelve - Yr-grani saccharine tablets when 1 cup of *agar is called for. * * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times.

Hits 'PURPOSE NIP MEUICItIL TAR One way of approaching the prob- lem of obtaining a proper diet is to consider the elimination of nonessent- ials. Some nutrition authorities have prepared a slogan-"First eat what you „should, ,and then eat what you want." The fact is however that if you really eat all the things yoti shoald in the course of a day, you simply won't have room, for much extra, So that-if you have been slip- ping in a few things .you want, but know you shouldn't, you are really crowding out some of the nutritional 2, High value breakfast Fruit juice Oatmeal porridge and milk Brown toast and batter Cocoa with sugar Either of these will feel like a per- fectly good breakfast, but breakfast number 2 gives you twice as much ,in minerals and vitamins • as the break- fast number 1, And obviously if you have •corn-flakes first, you're not go-' ing to have oatmeal porridge later, The same thing is true of the soft. drink menace. A child whose school lunch is accompanied by a carbonated drink is being deprived .of part of his vitamin requirement for the day. If instead he drank an equal quantity of he would be getting valuable amounts of calcium, Vitamin A and riboflavin. And' if he doesn't like milk, or thinks he doesn't, let him take- it the form of cocoa or chocolate milk. The latter can be bought in Ya. pint bottles at every. dairy and could be sold in any school cafeteria. For accurate information about vit-• amin rich foods write to the Health League of Canada, 111. Avenue Roard, Toronto, for a free copy of the leaflet "Do You Know Your Vitamins?" 144 "musts". These "musts" are foods- rich in Ininerals and vitamins. You will find yourself eating more of them if you deliberately cut out foods low in these essential elements.- Foods to boycott include refined white-bread and flour, packaged cereals of the no vitaminn no mineral type, and carbonated drinks. Consider for example two ways of close-fitting covers. beginning the day: 10. When cooking vegetables, use a minimum amount of water, 11. Arrange meals to serve all food cooked at one time-this eliminates reheating. 12. If range is equipped with warm- ing closet, turn off switch when heat is not needed. 13. Keep reflectors clean where us- ed under electric elements. Refrigerator 1. Open refrigerator door only when necessary, and close as quickly as possible. 2. Deftest refrigerator regularly - when Y/4-inch of frost has accumulated on the evaporator. 3. Operate refrigerator at temper- ature adequate for preservation of food; do not operate too cold. 4. If leaving home for two or three days, turn control on refrigerator to lowest operating point, but not neces- sarily to defrosting. 5. Locate refrigerator in order to obtain the best possible air circulation. 6. Do not place' hot foods. in refrig- erator; wait until they are cool. 7. Do not' load refrigerator with packages, bottles or cans that may be stored on paaitry shelves. 8. Clean condenser regularly. Water Heating 1. Use hot water sparingly. 1, Low value breakfast Fruit juice Cornflakes and milk White toast and butter Coffee with cream and sugar rOMMMM 2. When bathing ,temper the water as it flows into tub. 3: Turn hot taps off after using. 4. Repair leaking hot water taps. 5. Do not wash hands, dishes, or clothes under hot running water. 6. Use minimum =mint of hot water when washing dishes.- 1. Fill washing machine'to water line only. 2. Keep lid on the tub when wash- ing. 3. Use warm water far one rinse only when washing clothes. 4. Fre-soak badly soiled spots in clothes so as to reduce on washing time. 5. Use full-rated load of wash when- ever possible. Do not overload. 6. Whenever possible, use the wringer at the same time that clothes are being washed ih the tub. ' This saves time and electricty. 7. Do not leave washing machine operating for longer than necessary to wash clothes. Radio Turn the radio on only for -pro- grams desired; if not listening to the, radio, turn it off. Ironing 1. Press small, fine fabrics while' electric iron is ;heating to the point required for regular ironing. 2. Do not allow iron to get exces- sively .hot.' This wastes badly-needed power. Turn iron off before ironing is completed, and uSe stored heat to- press clothes that needonly dampness removed., Operate electric toaster as toast is• required; do not leave -on when not toasting. Turn off a cord switch on. toaster, or disconnect at wall plug. Small Appliances, ' Use -such electrical appliances as- coffee-makers, sandwich toasters, waf- fle irons, fans, etc., only when needed. Turn off electricity as soon as ,their function has been completed. Do not , use portable electric air heaters or grates at any time. • K. M. MacLENNAN Veterinary Surgeon Office-Victoria St., West.
