PORK REASONABLE LIMITS Britain's requirements of Canadian. bacon and hams and other pork pro- ducts are such that it is necessary that Canadians continue to keep domestic consumption within reasonable limits, if the' minimum export quantities are. to be assured, the Meat Board stated. • Although the Meat Board has al- ready announced the lifting of reStric- tions on slaughter and domestic dis- tribution of hogs and pork products, any appreciable increase in domestic consumption call only mean that smaller quantities of bacon. will be. available for export to Britain, .Con- sequently, retailers are asked to con- tinue to co-operate with the Meat Board by ref Paining ,.from featnring bacon, hams or fren pork in adver- tisements and store displays. The Meat Board states thtit the total supply of Meats in Canada is ample to provide the quantities re- quired .under the rationing system of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Consumers are therefore able to satis- fy their full ration requirements with- out materially increasing their pur- chases of pork products.

SMALLPDX EPIDEMICS CAN BE STOPPED Protect 'Your Children Against Smallpox Increasingly rapid Means of com- munication, especially by air, have made it imperative to 'take every pos- sible precaution against the introdnc- tion or spread of dangerous diseases, health authorities warn. They urge ! that there be no relaxation of meas. ores against smallpox, of which only sporadic cases have occurred in Can- ada in recent years. ' In early times, smallpox was so common in Canada as well as in Eur- ope that people exposed themselves to it, "to get it over with" although I DO fiust To relieve discomforts, one of the hest things you can do is put a good spoonful of home- tested Vicks VapoRub in a bowl a baling water. Then feel welcome relief come as you breathe in the steaming medicated vapors that penetrate to the cold-congested upper breatbingpaSsages! See how this soothes irritation, Cillibts cough-ing, and helps clear the head-- bringing grand comfort. FOR ADDED RELIEF. . . rub throat, chest artd back with VapoPtub at bedtime. Vicks VapoRub works for hours-2 ways atonce-to bring relief from distress. Itemember,it'sVicks VICKS VapoRub you want. v VApoltua many thereby lost their ,lives. Epi- demics which decimated and incapici- tated whole communities, and left the survivors with disfigured faces, are part of Canada's medical history, It was in 1796 that the English physician, Edlvard Jenner, diScovered the vaccine that immunizes against smallpox. Methods of preparing the vaccine have been much improved but jeriner's discovery remains the oldest and surest way of protection, In most of the Canadian provinces vaccination is not compulsory but is left to the discretion of parents and guardians. Health authorities fear that the reduction of Smallpox to a few cases a year has lulled the people into a false sense of security and that any serious outbreak would find many victims among those who have not been vaccinated. Smallpox is still a serious cause of death in many coun- tries. If all parents will take personal responsibility for the • protection of their children as well as theniselves, the whole community will be safe- guarded. For this reason smallpox is one of the diseases against which parents will be urged during National Immunization Week (November 14 to 20) to protect their families. 9i.iit111111....111p11411 llllllllll llllllllll 1 llllllllll I lllll 4111111,,.

"An Apple a day keeps the doctor away" is an old adage. The apple cannot be measur- ,ea in monetary value when you con- sider the satisfaction of munching a good Ontario eating-apple, and as a fruit it rates high in nutritional value. Raw apples contain amounts of minerals needed for' good bones and teeth and red blood. One apple doesn't provide the total amount that we need daily, but when cooked and combined with such foods as milk, meat dishes, cheese or eggs, we may be assured of eating health-providing dishes. RECIPES Rice with Apples 2 cups rice, 1/2, cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 3 eggs, 2 Canadian- grown apples (steamed). Pare and core the Canadian-grown. apples; cut in eighths and cook .until soft. Steam the rice; add the well- beaten yolks of eggs and sugar; mix well; add cooked apples; fold in the stiffly beaten whites; and bake 30 minutes in electric oven at 350° in -a welt buttered baking dish. Serve with cream, Spiced Apple Pudding 3 cups bread crumbs, 1 cup sugar, 1.. pound raisins, 2 table- spoons fruit juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 3 cups chopped apples, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon mace, 3 eggs (beaten separately), Scald the milk, stir in the crumbs and scald for 2 minutes. Remove from fire, mix together all the in- gredients, adding lastly the whites of eggs beaten stiff, Butter pudding .dish, fill with the batter and bake for about 40 minutes in a moderate elec- tric oven. Serve with custard sauce. Custard Sauce cup milk, yolk of 1 egg, 11/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, few drops vanilla. Beat yolk of egg slightly, add sugar, salt; mix well; then gradually add hot milk. 'Cook over hot water, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Strain and, when cold, add flavouring. Dried Apple Pie Wash the dried apples thoroughly; soak over night in cold water; stew until tender. Rub through a sieve, acid sugar, a little lemon rind and about 1 teaspoon butter. Fill and lake as any other pie. Serve warm. with 'sweetened cream.. Apple and Cheese Salad Mix browned soya beans with twice their bulk of cream cheese, adding a little cream to blend the mixture. Season with pepper and salt and make into tiny balls, Pare mellow tart ap- ples, core and slice across the centre into rings about 1/2 inch thick. Ar- range rings on lettuce leaves and place several cheese balls in the centre. Serve potato salad and dress- ing. * * * TAKE A TIP: Apples and vegetables from the small gardens must be carefully stor- ed this year, since imported vegetables are expensive and processed vegetables are not available at present, 1. The storage space is most im- portant. A separate room in the base- ment of your home with a window in it is advisable. 2. Do not hang cabbages upside down, unless the temperature is close to freezing, because moisture collects in the leaves causing growth. 3. Store pumpkin and squash by wrapping well in two folds of paper. Only dry and well matured ones will keep. 4. Dry onions should be stored in a temperature of 40°-50° just above freezing. 5. Carrots, beets and turnips should not be washed. Dry and pack_ in leaves or sand in a dark but ventilated room; keep at 38°. Use a thermom- eter to check temperature of lower 'part of storage room. 6. Store apples and winter pears in slatted crates in a cool, dry place. * • THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. S.W. asks: Would you re- commend malaga grapes to substitute for expensive oranges? Answer: No, oranges contain Vita- min C which the grapes , do not. A better food to substitute is a glass of tomato juice or raw grated turnips. • Mrs. j,.H. asks: How to cook liver without frying it. Answer: Liver may be sauted (that is, cooked in a frying pan with a small amount of fat) or browned in a hot pan for only a minute, then place in covered pan and bake for 10-15 minutes. Liver may be minced and shaped into a loaf pan and baked. Baked. Liver Put in bottom of dripping pan or baking dish slices of calf's liver, cover each slice with a strip of bacon. Put hot water about 1/4 inch deep in bot- tom of pan and bake in a moderate oven, 375° F. from 40 to 50 minutes. * * * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times.
