use of food flavorings. It's the season-
ing that makes a dish memorable. At
this time of year. our appetites. seem
pernickety,—everything tastes bland.
You need a chef's shill to perk up the
flavour of your cooking. Here are a
few suggestions that add More to every
meal:
Prepare devilled eggs as usual, but
before filling the whites with the
mashed yolks and mayonaisse, put the
.Chopped peanuts in the bottom of each
piece.
Mash a banana in French dressing
just before serving. This is especially
good with fruit salads. By the way,
have you ever tried sieving plums and
adding a cupful of this puree to basic
gelatine dishes
Baked beans are de luxe when yon
sprinkle them with a half teaspoon of
Commercial steak sauce.
If you have some leftover chicken
gravy, pour it over a casserole in
which you've arranged layers of cook-
ed noodles and chopped weiners; then
sprinkle with bread crumbs mixed
with a dash of sage and heat in the
.oven for 20 minutes.

THE SUGGESTION BOX
Miss P. B. says: r bought two un-
painted chests for my small apartment.
I painted the fronts and tops but pap-
ered the sides to match the wallpaper.
This made our room look more spac-
ious.
Miss W. D. Says: I've replaced my
button bag with several glass jars
which makes button finding much
simpler.
Mrs. B. J. says: Instead of throw-
ing away a card table which had a
hopelessly broken top, my husband
covered it with rustproof screening.
We use it as a knitted garment drier:
Sweaters and such may be laid on it
for quick drying, preventing consider-
able shrinkage.
Mrs. N. Mc. says:—I've saved a lot
of time on wash days by tacking your
stain removal chart on the wall near
the laundry sink, Below the instruc-
tions are the materials requested in
many of the directions. This idea sav-
es many trips to the recipe file in
another part of the house.

Hints
By MRS. MARY MORTON 1
One way to finish leftover chicken
is to make individual chicken pies or a
single large one, Some restaurants
specialize in these individual chicken
pies on certain days.
'Vett, can of course, make chicken
pie, with freshly cooked chicken, but
it's especially tasty as a medium. for
Serving leftovers,
In case it's leftover ham-you want
to serve, try it with inataroni.
The rhubarb fig-bar dessert should
make a hit With you as itfias With me.

The topper stays on top of the sat-
oriel dress parade. The sort of little
coat that can be worn with almost
anything, suits, dresses, slacks or pedal
pushers is too good a .coat to discard.
Here is a new version with which to
greet spring. The fabric is something
different—white woollen striped in
navy. , The stripes are used in divers
ways for interesting effects. The out-
fit has a double-breasted closing below
the high placed revers and the pockets
worked in one with the stripes. It is
worn over a plain navy woollen street
dress.

THE SILVER LINING
OF PEACE.
By Edna Jaques
Peace will have a silver lining only
if we weave the fabric of our national
life to Make it so,
In the last few months the world
has found out the bitter truth; that
victory isn't enough; we've got to
make it work,
Famine is an ugly word., To die of
sheer hunger must be one of the worst
things that could befall a human be-
ing. To get a little weaker each day,
?o watch death come to your children
and loved ones . . this, indeed, must
be the dregs of human misery.
In Europe there are a hundred mil-
lion starved and half-starved people,
Millions are homeless, thousands are
crippled, wounded, battered and for-
saken, waiting for food.
If the people of. Europe are to sur-
vive, we must send more food to them.
Not next eummere or after another'
crop, but now - Death won't wait,
This past week' has seen the black
cloud of famine lowering over the
whole Continent.
The people of Britain were•dismayed
by the news that their already meagre
rations were to be further reduced,
even lower, than at any time during
the war. They, who haven't eaten any
too well for six years, were told that
their cooking fat rations would be re-
reduced further, and bread would re-
turn to its dark wartime hue with a
possibility of it being rationed.
There would be less bacon, poultry
and eggs, No more dried eggs would
be available. (To British housewives
dried eggs have been a life saver).
Meat would be kept the same, about
25 cents worth a week, this includes
21,4 slices of bacon per week and one
shell-egg a month.
These added reductions are being
made in order to allow more to go to
the ravaged lands across the Channel.
Answering this recent desperate ap-
peal for food for Europe, Canada will
ship an additional 140 million bushels
of wheat and tons of flour, We have
already shipped no million bushels
overseas since August 1945,
This past week President Truman
took drastic steps to help a very wide-
spread famine in Europe, The U,S.A.
will eat dark bread this year, and they
have been warned that foods will ,he
scarce for months ahead, The Presie
dent stated that, if necessary, meat rat-
ioning would be reimposed there, '
Australia has set a target for ship-
ment to Britain of a million tons of
wheat, eggs, ,dried fruit and meat, as.
fast as ships can take it,
New South Wales has alreedy• at
dockside .54 million bushels of wheat,
Flour mills are working at their max-
imum capacity. More than 800 branch-
es of the Red Cross are working for a
food-for-Britain fund.
Every housewife in Canada is urg,
ently requested to watch all waste in
her home, • The hard end of a' loaf is
often thrown into the garbage, but a
child in Europe would live a day on it,
In times like these wasting food -
even in little quantities is a crime,
