There's a good spirit at our church however, At the present time the ladies are bairIng a raffle on a quilt and they are going to have a fowl supper to raise money. Our clergyman is going to be mighty surprised because they plan on putting a furnace in his house so that he can get rid of the stoves, After church this morning the folks stood around talking, I had a chat with old Thomas Williams. He has been laid up with rheumatism for the past while but looks much better. Mrs, Phil invited the school-teacher out for the day. She comes from about 200 miles away and she has been having a grand time today. Mrs, Phil just happened to see her at church and asked her to •come along home with us for the day. The men at church this morning got together and talked about the. widow, Mrs. Janes, She has been trying to get somebody to buzi* wood for her all summer but help has been too scarce. We made it up that we would have a bee tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of getting her a supply of wood. I guess we wouldn't have thought of it, if we hadn't gone to church. These are just a few of the reasons why I think we have a good spirit at our country church. RATION COUPON INFORMATION balance will be returned' o the general fund.

Care should be taken, however, not to hurry the patient through a meal. 6, The diet of a patient should be under the supervision of a doctor and his directions followed implicitly. 7. Store'the food supplies in cover- ed containers in a cool place, prefer- ably the refrigerator. The refriger- ator or cupboard should be kept scrupulousl clean. 8. All dishes or utensils used in the sickroom should be washed in a sep- arate bowl in hot, soapy water and scalded with boiling water. In case of infectious diseases, dishes should be boiled in two quarts of water, contain- ing one-half cup of baking soda for one-half hour, * * * THE SUGGESTION BOX Miss J.

CONSERVATION CLIPS By Marnie Edison Not So Tough Leather Warm, dry air takes the life of more than your potted plants ... it is linger- ing death for any prized leather pos- sessions, from Great Uncle Henry's leather topped desk to the youngest's ski boots. Leather needs a preserva- tive treatment every so often to keep it in good health. Saddle soap is one of the best knoWn of these. Remem- ber . once it is allowed to get really shabby leather cannot be made to look like new . . but its looks can be im- proved. A good way to clean suede is to rub it with hot bran and a special brush for the job. Skeptical? Try it and see. Old Refrain "Don't scrub the evegetables Mrs. Kaye Unless you use them right away" Too true. If you like to buy po- tatoes and carrots and other root vege- tables that have been washed clean and bright buy only in small quantities and use them up quickly—They don't keep as well as the unwashed ones. More Kitchen Life Lines It's the acid touch that keeps aluminum pots and pans all aglitter inside as well as out. Give them a doing out with boiling water plus a little vinegar. Let it bubble on the stove for a few minutes. 'k If food burns while you're on the telephone with the friend who always calls when you're in the midst of pre- paring dinner don't scream. Salvage what food you can and put some water in the pan to boil. This will loosen the black mass so you can scrape it off (with a wooden spoon please). Enamel saucepans that have been burned take well to a-pinch of soda in the water. • Don't Feed the Drain Out of the saucepan and down the drain go up to half of the minerals and vitamins from home or commercially canned vegetables. Oh yes they do! That is unless you save the liquid in the can. Make up your mind to use it in gravies, sauces or in tomato juice cocktail. Go on , . . the sink can get along without vitamins but you can't. PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle "CHURCHTIME" There's something sort of comfort- able about going to church in the country. I suppose going to church in the city has its points, but the few times that I've attended have always seemed to be much different. They seem to lack a friendly feeling, such as I noticed this morning for instance at our little church which is‘ on the edge of the village and can be consid- ered a country one. Our choir of course isn't what you would find in a big place, Peter Udell, the blacksmith pas been sing- ing with it for quite a number of years. He has been trying to master one particular high note for at least fifteen years and his voice always cracks just when he about reaches it. He hit it once and they say he sang all week long as he worked. You can notice smiles playing across the faces of the people like ripples on little pools when he starts climbing and everybody tenses up, as if there was a sweep- stake an hint They settle back and relax when he slips. Our clergyman isn't what you would call a top.notcher when it conies to preaching but he's sincere and he's known Most of us since we were small, We haven't got what you would call a wealthy congregation, and lie has Scraped along and kept the church, in, good repair. I knOw he has had to put in a good bit of his own small 4 PARCELS FOR YOU) SMITH— SOME GUY IN THE POST OFFICE GETS THEM !: in a sick bed, especially when they are on the road to recovery. Things around home can be used to advan- tage for construction work on a tray in front of them . . for instance, a paper jig-saw puzzle, hard, cooked eggs to decorate, paper to clip, colour, braid, fold and make into airplanes, ships or buildings. Tack wax paper on a board and let them use finger paints. Story books come in handy for anyone — even grown-ups like someone to read to them. If mother l'as time, she can sit and do some mending in the convalescent's room. At first, patients are usually placed on liquid, diet which usually includes milk, buttermilk, eggnog, malted milk, cocoa, cream soups, clear broth, whole grain cereal gruels, strained fruit and vegetables, ices, sherbets and ice cream. They should have one quart of -41.1 4 a day, no more, as you do not Svant to "sicken" them of it. Part of it can be used as milk to drink, and the rest in sherbets, creamed soups and cereal gruels. Ginger ale, coffee and tea are sometimes served for variety, rather than food value. Soft diets may be recommended by the doctor, especially after liquid diets. For a soft diet, soft-cooked or poached eggs, custards and all simple cooked puddings, cooked whole-grain cereals, gelatin and sieved vegetables. On a light diet you add tender meat such as chicken, lamb chops, baked fish, all cooked fruits and raw citrus fruits. A full diet means all restrictions are removed except that fried foods, rich puddings, and pastries are omitted or given in small amounts until the patient gets back to regular routine. Foods with a strong flavour, such as onions, cauliflower, cabbage and turnips should be used cautiously. Ex- cessively sweet foods such as jams, preserves, and candies should be given •sparingly. Condiments and spices should be used as little as possible, while scorched foods, poorly sieved foods or large pieces of meat should be avoided. All foods should be cooked care- fully to preserve vitamins, minerals and ease of digestion. Dishes need colour, variety of flavour and attrac- tive servings. Serve meals on art at- tractive tray, with pretty dishes, per- haps a flower or gay cloth—anything to perk us the patient. * * TAKE A TIP 1, Cook foods for invalids in small quantities and according to the hour of feeding. The most palatable food may be spoiled by allowing it to stand after being prepared, I Cover tray with a clean serviette :or tray cloth. Avoid serving too many things or too large portions. When the nature Of the dish permits it, add a piece of red cherry, or a small sprig of parsley. g, If possible, taste all foods and drinks before serving, for seasoning and temperature. Always use a sep- arate spoon for tasting, 4. When liquid foods are to be -given Other receptacles should be used than therbe used for medicine or the as.soci- ...TO HERE-AND REACHED YOU SAFELY-BUT THE POSTAL CORPS GETS NO THANKS WHAT .D'YOU MEAN SOLDIER?

JOHN 1LABATI I,IMI FD !Leeks &midi THE MIXING BOWL My AIM AKAN Orb* Ibis floseentila Hello, Homemakers! Hints for home nurses is our thought for the riay. With the shortage of nurses and hospital rooms, many illnesses, unless critical, might be treated at home. This, of course, will depend on the advice of your doctor. Home nursing is no easy job, especially when the homemaker has to run the house and take care of the rest of the family too. Recently, many women have taken the course in home nursing and realize that definite instructions should be carried out with regard to sleep, food and medicines. Then, there's also the problem of keeping the con- valescent in a contented frame of mind. It's easy enough to say, but not so easy to do. Children are so lively when they're well, that it's al-
