Another leaf has been torn off the 1943 calendar, bringing us to a realization that we should fortify ourselves against bitter, 'biting weather. Things are different this year. We lutist try to get along with less fuel. By following the advice of heating authorities we can •do much to keep' our homes warm and at the same time share the fuel. It is our duty, however, not only to co-operate in exercising necessary economies, but to safeguard our health in order that we may be fit for the ',vital- work we have to do on the home front, To safeguard our health we should not only, wear warm clothing for the winter, but we must eat the right kinds of food. Unfortunately, there is still some misapprehension as to the kind of heat-producing foods we should take. Hot foods are not always heat pro- ducing. For example: a cup of cool cocoa produces far more heat than a .cup of .steaming clear coffee, because cocoa is a starch plus fat. Starches and fat speed up the circulation of the blood which governs the rate of heat production in the body. A most im- portant point is regularity. You don't go clown to the furnace and fill it with coal and wait until it burns . out before you refill it. We alt know the way to get the most heat out of the-fuel is to use it moderately but regularly. The human body is stoked the same way. It requires a good supply of fuel in the morning and at regular irtervals throughout the day. Honey, sugar, and whole grain cereals are most valuable fuel foods. Porridge • made from oatmeal, corn- meal, cracked wheat, is one of the best whole grain dishes. But tiers arc plenty of ether grain products to select for the other two meals of the day: macaroni, spag iietti, bread crumbs, manufactured cereals, biscuit mixtures, pastries, dumplings, etc. Of course, bread is our mainstay at each meal. Root vegetables may also be added to our starch list, frequently enriched with a cream sauce. It is not necessary to tell you to increase the use of fats — fats are precious in war time — but cold weather does offer us the opportunity to, enjoy meat coat- ed with fat, richer gravies and sauces than we care to eat during the sum- Meat, fish and eggs fit into each meal as body-building and repair ma- terials. Adequate supplies of -citrus fruits, stewed fruits and raw vege- tables do not feature in the heat story, but do not overlook them. They are pt otective foods, Start your day off — a warming One. * * * Ginger Muffins 2 cups flour sifted., with 2 tea- spoons baking powder, Vs tea- spoon ginger, 1/1 teaspoon cinna- mon, V2 teaspoon .salt, combine Vs cup molasses, 1 egg beaten, % cup milk, 4 tablespoons incited fat.

If you have never used soft coal before, better ask the coal dealer for a copy of the free government booklet, "Thirty-three Ways to Save One Ton in Five", Soft coal requires a special firing technique When a mixture of soft and hard coal is being used, it shotild be treated as soft coal. Skins and All Raw apples make a good addition to almost any kind of salad. Whether they are sliced, - chopped or grated, leave the skins on. They'add colour. and extra vitamins and save the work. of peeling. Sweater Salvage Did you ever think of turning an old sweater—especially the machine- knit—into a scarf, cap and mittens set for a youngster? Sweaters in bright or pastel shades make• the gayest sets; but the more sombre colours are just as warm and they can be enlivened with gay flowe;s embroidered in wool or bits of applique cut from an old summer felt. Applique does a grand job of masking tiny moth hole dams. Stove Care The porcelain or enamel parts of a stove should never be washed while they are hot, for the water may cause them to crack or chip. A gritty cleanser should never be used as this scratches the surface and will event- ually lead to stains which cannot be removed. Warm soapy water will do the job and the surface should be wiped dry after washing, Bread Crumbs Need Air Bread crumbs should notthe stored in an air-tight container, for this will cause them to develop a musty flay- u, A few holes may be punched, in other, cover or a double layer of cheese- cloth fastened on with an elastic band will keep the dust out and, let the air in.

"How do you manage," I asked her, "all those hungry boys day and night; when do you sleep?" "Well, you see," she explained as she flipped a pancake over, "I like to feed people. If one of those boys ever went hungry and cold because I was too lazy to get up at three o'clock in the night to feed him. I'd hate myself as long as I live. Sometimes when they come in at might, dead tired, have to sit beside them at the table and keep them awake long enough to tired in all my life." "How about the price ceiling and price control, does it help you out or make it harder for you?" "Shucks, I never. thought I'd live to see the clay when I'd cheer for Ot- tawa but them fellas down there, must 'seen this all comin' a long time ago; someone had a brain wave sure as. shootin'.

"Before jam rationing came in I couldn't offer 'my boys' jam, now get my share and they sure like jam. Most of them are southern boys you know — Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, lots of 'em never saw snow before. It's a corker how homesick they gin, I try to mother 'em." She wiped her face on her apron, but it wasn't all flour she wiped off. "And the rationing of foodstuff helps you too, -in what way exactly?" "Everyway," she answered emphati- cally, as -she, greased a loaf of bread she was putting in the pan.

"Anyways," she beam- ed, "I like feedin' people." Splendid Sound Pictures Available To Any Club Or Organization According to information received from Squadron Leader Harold Wens- ley, .Connhanding Officer of the Re- cruiting Centre at London, Ontario, excellent motion pictures, with sound, are available to the public.. Any Club, Society or organization who wishes to use these films is ad- vised to communicate .with the R.C.A. F. Recruiting Centre, Bell Building, London, Ontario.

The apple will be in first place instead of being just a fruit filler-in when, bananas, peaches, plums and apricots are scarce. The .price of apples as yet is not low . and clue to poor crops in some parts of the country is not likely to go clown further, Even so apples are our cheapest fruit, and like no' other Cana- dian fruit are in season throughout the year. • Apples should be firm, well 'colour- ed, tart flavour, and medium size. They may be bought by the pound, dozen or bushel. You will find it most economical to buy the fruit in large quantities. They can le stored in a cool moist place, after all the bruised and decayed fruit are removed. It is best for economy's as well as flavour's sake to buy. each variety at its proper season. You should also consider whether the apple is to be served raw or cooked as they vary in flavour and texture. The varieties ex- cellent for cooking are Duchess, Gravenstein, Blenheim, Greening and Northern Spy. These apples in the order given are in season, each for a ample of months, from August until March.. Those excellent for eating are McIntosh, Snow, Delicious; Tolman scenes taken overseas. Anyone who has seen this picture will be in a posi- tion to speak authoritatively on the course the war took up until Germany attacked Russia. Another picture available, "Wings of Youth", ,deals in detail with the course of studies from Manning Depot through Initial Train- ing School, Elementary and Service Flying School up to presentation of Wings upon graduation. Anyone con- templating- enlisting as . aircrew or friends or relatives who would like to know exactly what the fledgeling air- man experiences in the R.C.A,F. should not Miss this opportunity of witnessing this most remarkabla moving picture. An entire evening's program can be arranged by using a feature film, or on the oilier hand shorter featurettes can easily be included as one item in an evening's entertainment. Titles of films available at the pres- ent time are; "Divide and Conquer"„ Sweet, Melba. Although apples can not replace the vitamin C rich citrus fruits and to- matoes, nevertheless they are valued for their vitamip and mineral contri , bution to the diet. They are com- parable to white peaches, pears, bana- nas. I know you will have many favour- ite recipes for serving apples cooked. so today I am going to stress ways of servings the - apple raw. First of all you must remember to marinate the cut portions of apple with lemon juice to pre-Ant clispolouration. For optimum vitamin retention you should. not expose the cut fruit to the air for any length of time. Raw apples may be used in combin- ation with other foods to make appeti- zing salads. Diced apples, celery, wal- -nuts and salad dressing makes the- well known WaldOrf salad. Or you. may combine diced bananas, oranges,. apples and stoned cherries with dress- ing for a fruit salad. A side salad_ of diced apples, cubed cheese and wal- nut meats blended together with may- onnaise dressing would add colour flavour to a special occasion dinner. These are only a few methods. for- serving the versatile apple. If you further recipes write to the: Health League of Canada, 111 Avenue- Road, Toronto, "Nazis Strike", "Wings of Youth",. "Battle of Britain" and "Prelude to• War". Math. Teacher: "Now, we find that X equals zero." .Student: "Gee! All that work for nothing."
