TIMELY TIPS
Firm Anchorage
Do you have trouble with a food
chopper that won't 'stay firmly anchor-
ed to the table but slips and slides as
you grind? There's,, a cure and it's a
simple one, ,Put a piece of sandpaper,
gritty side up, on the edge of the table
before screwing the chopper in place.
Cutting Remarks
For easy cutting of fresh bread fgr
dainty sandwiches first thoroughly
chill the loaf, Cheese slices without
crumbling if • you use a strong thread
or 'piece of string instead of a knife.
Not HOpelessl
- • An old knitted garment so shrunk
and matted that, ravelling, is -hopele*ss
is not •a dead loss • . not by a long
shot. When the scams are nitpicked
the pieces can be cut as though they
were cloth, Sew round the edges by-
machine before stitching seams mid be-
careful to not stretch. There May be

in that old sweater of yours.

Cherry Petal Squares
An upside-down Prune Square,
served hot, is just about the prettiest
hot bread we make; For the glaze
beat together 2 tbsps, butter, 2 tbsps.
brown sugar and 2 tbsps. corn syrup.
Grease an 8 inch x 8 inch pan and
spread the bottom with the butter-
scotch mixture, Into it press altern-
ate rows of cooked, pitted prunes and
maraschino cherries, cut petal-wise.
To petal the cherries, drain well then
cut up toward the centre into 5 petals.
The cherries and prunes should make
a regular pattern. Roll out two 8 inch
squares of dough, either tea biscuit or
bread, about 4, inch thick. Cut each
in four strips. The first four strips
lay crosswise of the pan; the second
four strips weave lengthwise of the pan
so that when finished it looks like a
piece of rather amateur mending. Bake
in a hot electric oven for 15 minutes,
then reduce the heat and finish bak-
ing, Invert while still warm so that
all the butterscotch mixture glazes
over the square. Serve warm. It's
quite lovely—the golden glaze, the
dark prunes, the bright red cherries,

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. C. E. asks; Can you suggest
an agent to remove mildew from
shower curtains?
Answer: If they are made of cotton
or canvas soak in soapy -water, then
without rinsing, dip them in a solution
of copper sulphate (get this at your
drug store). This simple treatment
protects fabrics against mildew even
after home laundering.

Hello Homemakers! A Valentine's
Day Party may be in the offing at your
home, in which case you will already
he thinking of special menus. To any
homemaker the success of a party de-
pends to a large extent on food—care-
fully planned and prepared. If you
are entertaining the "Teen-Agers" at
a buffet supper, here are some food
fancies we especially like, because they
are so decorative and so easily pre-
pared.
Potato Salad
In setting up Potato Salad for Val-
entine's Day we use beets for a basis.
Slivers of cooked beets are steeped for
20 ruins. in hot vinegar to which a
bag of whole spices has been added.
When chilled, put in lettuce cups plac-
ed in heart-shaped designs on a platter.
Press potato salad around to keep
the lettuce in position, The salad
could be served in the centre of a large
platter surrounded by assorted cold
cuts. Spread each slice of meat with
.cheese filling (use cottage or cream
cheese mixed with salad dressing and
seasonings)`, then roll and secure with
'toothpick.
Relish Tray
This platter could be accompanied
with a relish tray made up of small
gherkins, celery curls dipped in papri-
ka, and thin triangles of white turnip.
Chill in separate containers in the
electric refrigerator for one-half hour
before serving.
Glaze for Rolls

up ordinary rolls, measure 14. cup but-
ter and 1./. cup corn syrup into a
saucepan. Boil for 3 minutes then

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry. J. Boyle
We have been clearing up the slash.
In the piece of swampy land next to
the bush there is a good section of
timber that has been neglected. To
tell the truth we haven't paid as much
attention to the bush on this farm as
we should have. In place of going
in and cutting down a big strip- of the
bush this year we are going through
and taking out a few trees that are
old. Some of them have been touched
by lightning and one or, two have
lodged in other trees nearby; Some-
how or other I've come to ihe con-
clusion that by careful planning the
bush could be as good a crop as any
on this farm.
I bad a timber ;:tan in trying to buy
the bush, He made me an offer for
the whole thing.' I went through and
picked some beech and maple and of-
fered to sell them to him. After some
haggling and figuring it appeared that
for the trees marked I would get al-
most as much as for the whole bush.
That made me think a bit about the
whole thing, and I've come to have
a healthier respect for the, whole bush
than I ever did before.-
These are frosty'...days and very
pleasant ones for working in the bush.
The frost creaks under the sleigh run-
ners and the little breeze that seems
to spring up from 'the motion of the
jogging team bites et your cheeks.
Once you get inside the timber line
however everything is still and cold,
We unhitch the team when we're not
using them and let them stand in the
stable beside the sugar shanty.
The saw rings with a metallic sound
as it bites into the wood. The blocks
of wood seem to break apart magically
with a welt of the axe, Evert a tough
old elm that we cut down et the end
of the swamp was hardly, any trouble
after it had a bite of frost when it was
felled, Prost can certainly help you.
I -took back a. piece of suet and tied,
it up with a string to a tree branch
just outside the „sugar shanty door,
At noon with a warm fire in the little
heater we sat around and 'waited for
the kettle to boil for some tea and,
watched the birds dancing around en
fluttering wings ete they pecked at the
suet, I rather imagine the deep snow
we have had in these parts hasn't been
Any too goOd for the,birds this 'year.
A rabbit hopped into the elearieg,
'watched with interest, sniffed 'around
the bobsled and then disappeared into
the bush. The pup had been asleep
inside the shanty, He came to with
a start and went after the rabbit with
a great hullabaloo. He came back an
hour later panting and empty-handed
but with a much better appreciation I
sin sure for the agility of the shy,
little. rabbit.
These are great days for working.
