comes cleanly 'from the skies of the

half an hour before rolling it.

Linen Lessons
Worn out linen a problem? Here
are tips on how to make every bit you
possess work overtime.
(1) Rip worn sheets down the mid-
dle and seam outer edges together.
Now the thin spots are on the sides
where it„,doesn't matter!
(2) Pillow cases of tubular material
can be turned too. Cut off the seam
at the end and make a new one so
that again the thin spots are on the
edges.
(3) Washcloths out of bath towels
. . . Cut out the good spots and hem.
(4) Sew worn linen face or dish
towels together, criss-cross , .. Makes
one good strong one!
(5) Pot holders from bath mats
salvages the pieces that are still us-
able.
Oven 325 Degrees
Escalloped potatoes, smooth, creamy
andcris,py on top is a dish to please
any man, kings included. But not the
one that is curdled and unattractive.
This happens when the oven is too
hot. Milk idishes shouldn't boil, and
that means milk puddings too!

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
by Harry J. Boyle
IT was storming outside last Sun-
day . , one of those March squalls
that blow up quickly. I hurried up
to the house after choretime at noon
and retired to the comfort and warmth
of the front parlor and the stove with
the mica-front. Mrs. Phil induced
Patricia Ann to take a nap with her
and I read the newspaper. Tiring of
it I turned to the radio.. There Was.
a variety program on the air and the
announcer was playing a game with
some soldiers. He would give them
the name of someone and ',then they
had to, describe . someone, they knew
by that name:
Long after the program finished I
kept thinking about the names of
pdople, As their names flashed into
mind I kept trying to think of some-
body t knew by that .name and it was
sort of fun, For instance I thought of
Michael . . and remembered a curly
haired, blue-eyed boy who used to"
spend his summer holidays on our
farm here, Michael *as just natural-
ly inquisitive. From morning until
night lie peppered questions at every-
body insight. He wanted to know
what made the grain grow and why
we sowed fertilizer. Father used to
get annoyed at him sometimes whent he
questions were too difficult and so he'
would say, "You better ask God about
that Michael, lie made the world."
(Michael is now a scientist • . , develop-
ing new techniques for our Side in this
war,I heard Michael at a meeting one

NUTRITION
Are you a vitamin fan? Every time
you read a vitamin article in which
the symptoms of some vitamin defici-
ency are described, do you decide that
that's exactly what's the matter with
you? Certainly it behooves every one
of us to keep up to date and learn all
that we possibly can about proper
nutrition. This knowledge is our
weapon against these deficiency dis-
eases and we soon realize the import-
ance of following the Food Rules in
our daily menus. We realize that if
we follow the Food Rules we will not
need to indulge in these bouts of self-
diagnosis—followed 'so often by self-
treatment,
What about the use of vitamin con-
centrates and synthetic preparations?
They have great usefulness to doctors
in the treatment and prevention of
night. After he spoke he answered
questions . very difficult questions
about everything in general. One of
them stumped him and then with a
grin he said, "You better ask God
about that, he mad e the world."
Then there was Peter . . poor
old Peter. At 60 Peter was homeless
and touched just a little by rheuma-
tism. Father brought him home one
day and told mother that he had hired
Peter to work on the .farm and do
chores . . . but mother knew and so
did Peter. Peter breathed thankful-
ness for the rest of his life. He
worked hard at the chores . slowly
and carefully and then one fall morn-
ing he didn't get tip and light the fire
in the kitchen as usual. Father fotind
that Peter's soul had slipped I away
quietly during th e night without caus-
ing any trouble. Peter would have
wanted it that way, Peter gave us all
something. He taught us as children
to be gentle and hind, 'His nimble
fingers showed us many tricks at
Whittling and tieing knots with a rope.
He showed us .how to see everything
that was going the robins nest
and 'did meadow larks concern for her
eggs. in the field and how the rabbits
danced ins, the snow on cold, frosty
nights.
I remember Jake, the Old sailor who
stayed with us one winter, Jake had
a wooden-leg an imagination. He
told us fierce blood-curdling tales that
can thrill me even yet as I "remember
them, He talked about girls in South
Sea Islands . and cannibals and
sea captains who whipped their men

used to be shocked to death but father
particular diseases and have been used
with considerabl e success. However,
the indiscriminate use of these prepar-
ations without the advice of a physic-
ian id usually unnecessary and very
unwise. Real vitamin deficiencies
which result in ill-health are usually
multiple, and, hence, the hit-or-miss
selection of a single -one of the vita-
mins is apt to,pbe of little value. Some
authorities even feel that our know-
ledge of the vitamins- is . still so in-
complete that it is a mistake to ad-
minister to ourselves extra doses of
any particular one as too much of it
may upset the bodily assimilation of
some of the others.
So put your energies into studying
new and interesting ways of serving
well-balanced meals and you won't
have to worry about the state of your
health. You will enjoy the change—
and sp will your family!
was just as interested as we were in
what Jake had to say, The only thing
was that he'hid behind the newspaper
and pretended not to be paying any
attention.
I thought about Raymond who used
to run a store in the village and who
always gave me candies when I went
in with my mother when she bought
groceries. I kept on Mauling for an

LAST-MINUTE TIPS
ON HEAT-SAVING
Put a "Heat Ref lector"
behind your radiator
Heat is like a "wallilower"—it sticks
around near the radiators. A sheet
of aluinhium foil placed behind the
radiator will "reflect" heat to where
you want it—Out in the room.

Bello Homemakers! March having
come in "like a lion," its reasonable to
hope that the first days of Spring may
be fair with a real tinge of Spring
warmth, which will give us all uplift
in thought and inspiration to try new
ways in our household duties,
From the heavier meals of 'Winter
Days, when more body warmth from
food was necessary, change now to
lighter dishes particularly in desserts,
Have you thought, for instance, of new
puff pastry with creamy fillings? It's
rather tricky to make, but with de-
tailed instructions you may try them
with confidence, Having once master-
ed the successful making of your puff
pastry, there are numerous dainty and
delicious desserts to try, For example:
patty cases for hot creamed mixtures
or cold salad concoctions; Napoleons
and French pastrie when fruit season
commences,
Detailed Directions
I. Sift a quantity of bread flour
once, Measure 11/ cups into a bowl
— do this by spooning the flour lightly
into. a, measuring cup to prevent pack-
ing. Add 1 tsp, salt.
2. We measure the fat by filling the
measuring cup with % cup of ice cold
water and dropping chunks of very
cold fat until, with all fat pressed
under the surface, the water level
reaches the "cupful" mark. We drain
the fat well, To obtain % cup butter
we use the cup filled two-thirds with
water,
3, The shortening and 'butter (Vs
cup plus 1/3 cup) are then chopped into
the sifted flour and salt. A handy
dough blender or two sharp knives
may be used to •cut the fat into the
size of large peas. A, quick, sharp keen
cutting action is required — never
twist the blender as that has a tend-
ency to "cream" the fat. •
Wool is very much in the spring
sartorial spotlight especially for little
frocks of the all-day or casual type,
This one is of navy blue flannel with
a chalk stripe, with the stripe used both
in horizontal and vertical formation,
The pockets are worked into gored
sections at the side. Little navy tas-
sels slip through gold rings at collar
and front closing and 'similar rings
join to form a trimming on the set-in
belt.
