A.—No. When acid fruits are as- similated by the body they have an alkaline reaction. It is most unwise for anyone to unlit these foods from their diet 'except on the advice of a physician, for they are an important source of vitamin C. Q.—Is it alright to combine milk and fruit; milk and meat or fish at the same meal? A.—es. There is no scientific basis for the idea that certain foods, whole- some in themselves, are harmful when taken together. Q.—Is cheese a suitable food for children? A, ,—Yes, Cheese is readily diges- -tible even by * young children, but more readily so if diluted with other foods as in a cream sauce, casserole dish or soup, High cooking temper- atures must be Avoided as that tough- ens'the cheese and makes it less diges- tible. the feet together close to the body and turn the tips of the. wings close back under the body.

The list brought to Canada, for the first time in seven years, 'decorations in orders of chivalry which were previously barred' under the anti-title policy pur- sued by Canadian governments since 1919, except for .a short period be- tween 1930 and 1985.

Building Large Power Plant Ottawa, — Official disclosure that a vast hydro-elentric power develop- ment in Quebec, being built to meet war-time needs of the Arvida, Que„ aluminum plant, will ultimately have an output of almost 1,000,000 horse- power, was made by Resources Min- ister' Crerar. WINTER CARE OF . BREEDING EWES (Experimental Farms News) The care and attention given the breeding flock during the winter months may well determine the suc- cess of the coining lamb crop, states S. A. Hilton, Senior Assistant, Dom- inion Experimental, Farm, Nappan, N. S. Ewes that have been "flushed" dur- ing the breeding season, and are in good flesh, may be carried on hay and turnips or silage until a month or so before lambing, providing the hay is early-cut clover or alfalfa and of good quality. If grass hay or late-ant hay is fed, a light grain ration is necessary to insure the ewes being in good con- dition at lambing, Like the dairy cow, the condition at freshening governs, to a great extent the succeeding milk flow. Regardless of the other feeds available, a mineral mixture should be kept before the flock at all times. Turnips should always be Cleat and free from decay, Frozen turnips or silage should never be fed, For preg- nant ewes, not More than 4 pounds daily per ewe should be given to large ewes or 8 pounds to those of the smaller breeds. Miring the last mouth of pregoancy, reduce the succulent feed to 1,1/4 to 2 pounds daily and start feeding a light graitt mixture, (Y4 lb. daily, or more if the ewes are thin). After lambing, gradually increase the roots to 5 poutult or More daily, and the grain to 11/4 to 2 pounds, depend- lag upon the percentage ,of twin lambs born. Fresh, 'clean Water should be avail- able to the flock. Do riot depend on snow as a Water supply. If the lamb crop is not arriving until late March Or April, ,treat the flock with piteno- thiazine tablets two weeks dr so .pre vious to the first date of lainbing.n winter lambs are .expected, postp:!n the treatment until the ; lambs are week or more old, but treat before lb heavy freezing weather is over, Buildings for sheep .should be wel ventilated and free from draughts, For winter or early spring lambs, pro vide one or more warm laMbing pens Arrange for the flock to have regular exercise. This may' be done by feed ing the hay at a distance from the barn. Close observation of the flock is essential at all times, especially dur- ing' thclambing season. 'Canada needs every lamb that can be raised in 1943, and every lamb saved means increas- ed.labour returns. For details regarding grain mixtures and other ,information, consult your nearest experimental farm or agricul- tural college. • _ BROCKVILLE OFFICERS ARE WELL TRAINED Course Is A Strenuous One By I,t, John W. Hughes They make em tough in Brockville these days. Tougher than ever be- fore! The new officers of the Canadian .Army who are now training at the Officer's' Training Centre in Brock- ville have recently had instruction in whIt has been called "gutter fighting': by experts, N > trick ia :illegal by the officer tad data, '"daddy of theta. is at Present at the centre in.struct. future eminnando leaders . . He •is Major Ewart Fairbairn,- late of Sintri,,4-trai Municipal Police • . the. ,uugliest police force in the world. • For thirty years pion to the outbreak if war, the Major was with the Shang-. police. His methods, now beittg' :sect at Brockville, were -developed in alleys and shadows of Shanghai. The famous Japanese Jude (jiu-jutso).con:. tributed, and so did Chinese boxing.. Major Fairbairn's methods can beat' both. Shanghai was filled with cut-throats and - the -police had to, be tough, Tougher even than the killers they had to bring in. Major Fairbairn made them tough. Since then he has instructed'the ish Commandos and parachute troops, and the American Armed Forces. Now he is in Brockville for a short time to give the instructors there an insight • into his methods. Knife fighting is one of the most important phases of Commando train- ing; claims Major Fairbairn •. . and. he knows whereof he speaks, The "Commando knife" was designed by lihn. And he shows his followers how to use it. The modern soldier can't carry the spirit of sportsmanship into a theatre of action. He has to be hard-hearted to last. It's himself or his. enemy. And the Commando has already prov- en himself superior to his opponent. The-beginning of the New Year saw 'the start of Canada's Natiohal Nutri- tion' Campaign in which wide-spread interest is already in evidence, Nu- trition Services at Ottawa . receive many letters from housewives, asking questions pertaieing to Nutrition. Some of those most frequently asked are answered here. Q.—What is the best way to cook vegetables? A.—The beet 'way. to cook vege- tables in order to retain as much as possible of their vitamins and minerals is to steam them or to cook in a cov- ered, saucepan in a small amount of boiling water until just tender. Any liquid remaining after vegetables are cooked should be saved and utilized. Q.—Is milk fattening? A,—Milk is a food and should be regarded as such, If milk is added to a diet already sufficiently high in calories increase in weight will result. Everyone needs milk and this most important food should be included in the daily meal plan, not added as an FAVORITE FOODS .• FOR WINTER MEALS Here Are A Few Suggestions That Should Help ,,The menu, should be planned carefully around the main dish, with accompaniments, vegetables and des- sert that fit well into the meal.

There they are given a thorough medical check-up before being transferred to the organized agencies responsible for the care of such children. Not long ago a 2-weeks-old baby girl was found late in the evening, crying on the doorstep of a private dwelling, The infant was wrapped in • warm clothes and appeared to have bad the best of attention, There was .no clue as to the parents. Police were called, and the baby was taken to the Hespittie for Sick Children, Where she was given a warm welcome by the night start. "Welcome little sister," said the nurse who took the infant frOm the coat and two blankets in which it was wrapped, "Kick around and enjoy yourself," the nen* continued, as the little one laughed at her in glee as rf the knew she had found a new home Who knows what tragic story ties behind this 'incident, But perhaps it brought some grain of comfort to' the 'mother's heart to know that her little brown-eyed baby was in such ennoble hands, every case ended As happily as ths.'
