But first he is a hand- picked man, goes through gruelling training and receives the finest equipment yet devised—for his and your security. As his attack is our defence against Axis domination so Brantford Roofing defends many a home against the beating of the weather. But just now, because it's built of strategic materials, the supply of Brantford Roofing is limited. Supplies available for civilian use are rationed to dealers, to ensure an equitable share in each community. To stretch raw materials as far as possible, all Brantford Roofing lines have been standardized on a minimum range of styles and colours. If you are faced with roofing problems, ask your Brantford Roofing dealer to assist you. He will help you make your present roof last longer and effect urgent repairs with a minimum. of new material.

TIME MIXING HOWL fir'AOOrIt OMAN Istro N... 10*****Ost GOOD OLD STANDBY IS HOT MEAT PIE Hello Homemakers! Just as soon as the winds pipe a little higher, men- !fat (especially) praise a hot meat pie, And we homemakers should smile be- cause its a splendid way to use UP those ends from the small roast. If you are buying meat for pie, goose a piece of round steak or lean brisket' and cut it into cubes (about 2-inch size). Brown the meat in a little fat, using a frying pan; then empty into a narrow, deep pot with a tight fitting lid so it can stew away without scorching. Add a tin of consomme, or 4 cups tomato juice, or a cube of concentrated beef dissolved in water or vegetable juices to cover, and let it simmer while you prepare cubed carrots, sliced onions and some diced Celery which you put in along with seasonings, Let it simmer (not too fast) until done and serve with a lot of parsley sprinkled on top. For a special pie, put into a casserole, stir in cup sliced mushrooms and top with a good pie crust, Bake until richly browned. A good old-fashioned beefsteak and kidney pie is a favourite, and its the most savoury of meat dishes with its rich gravy and topping of light fluffy biscuit or flaky pie pastry. Beefsteak and Kidney Pie 11/2 pounds of chuck steak, cut in strips; 3 lambs' kidneys, 11/2 teaspoons fat, 6 cups boiling water, 1 large onion, peeled and sliced; 1 large potato, peeled and sliced; 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, Cut chuck steak into strips; core, split and, quarter lambs' kidneys, Sear meat in fat. Add boiling water and simmer hours or until tender. Place meat in individual casseroles. Add onion and potato, sliced. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Thicken gravy from the meat and pour a little into each casserole, Bake in electric oven 450° F, for 30 minutes or until po- tatoes and onions are tender. Roll pastry inch thick. Cut 6 circles the size of the tops of casseroles; slash, and place on top of the meat, Bake 15 minutes longer. Yield: 6 servings. Chicken Pie Cut up a boiling fowl and stew slowly until tender in a deep pot, us- ing enough water to cover, Allow hours for 4 lbs, Add carrots, onions and potato cubes, Season with salt, pepper and sage. Drain off liquid and thicken; pour over meat and cover with biscuit dough. Bake in electric oven at 425° F. for 15 minutes. Shepherd's Pie 4 cups cooked beef, cut in 1-inch cubes; 2 cups cooked sliced car- rots, 1 oup cooked small onions, 21/2 cups gravy, 3 cups seasoned mashed potatoes, 1 egg, beaten. Arrange the meat, carrots and on- ions in 11/2 quart casserole or in 6 in- dividual casseroles. Pour over the gravy (or tomato juice and meat ex- tract cube), then top with the mashed potatoes to which the beaten egg has been added.- Bake in a hot oven of .450° F, for 30 minutes, Yield; G . servings. ,Flank Steak ..en Casserole 1 teaspoon dry Mustard, 1/2 cup vinegar, salt and pepper, 2 onions, sliced; 2 pounds flank steak, hot water. Make a paste of the dry mustard, vinegar and salt and. pepper, Slice onions very thinly. Cover steak with the paste and place in a baking dish. Cover with onion, slices. Add suffi- cient water to cover. Cover and bake in an electric oven for 1.Ys hours' at 350° F. * TAKE A TIP; 1. Protect wool blanket by stitching a wide, band of heavy cotton at top and bottom. 2, Use two spoons instead of a fork when you turn a roast, The fork per- mits valuable juices to escape. 3. If water has been spilled on some of the pages of a book, slip a piece of a blotter on each side of wet pages immediately. Press with a warm iron. 4, To remove fish odour from frying pan add dry mustard to dishwater. 5. Soak a new broom in hot strong salt water to make if' last longer, * * THE QUESTION pox Mrs, R. B. asks: What causes gr'ape jelly to become granular? Answer: !Grape juice should mel- low by standing overnight before it is boiled to jelling point. Or, too much sugar may have been the cause. Mrs. J. T. suggests a small strip of leather makes an excellent button loop on garments that get hard wear. Use Scraps from old gloves or hand- bags. * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times. Send in your suggestions on homemaking problems and watch this columns for replies.
