Predominant items in Italian cookery include pasta, cheese, tomatoes, veal, fish and pastry. It is little surprise, therefore, that today Italian cook- ery in it:thawing food habits in many countries of the world. Re- ecntly have heard a lot about the famous Italian dish, Pizza. Those who have visited Italy may have- seen -Pizza bakers work- ing in front of their "pkzeria," toeiiing and.whirling the dough into a round disk and garnishing it ac cording' to the customer's order. Here's how you can prepare this ftallan dish in your own home with the sakill of the famous Italian pizza bakers. This Pizza which consists 0. a yeast shell and a fill- ing of melts I cheese, tomato and herbs can be served plain or. topped with plump rural shrimp, anchovies, sliced olives, frankfurters or what- ever pleases your fancy and your family's taste.

A fresh flower is not too far open, is not wilted or faded, and has not beet:, cut too long. The tenderest flowers stay fresh only for one Or two days after cutting, while others can be kept fresh for five or more days. ,A hard flower has stems, leaves and petals that are firm and sturdy and not weak and flabby, although what is hard quality fur one type May be soft for another, Roses mid carnations for example, dific r natural hardness, the rose 1)01141 more tender and succulent, Other flowers, too, differ widely in hard- ness, The hardest flowers of all usually keep best in the home, sometimes for many weeks. They can be good bargains even at prices much above those for softer kinds, Florists charge a premium for the longest stems, biggest flowers and largest potted plants. There- fore, flower buyers who will take shorter stemmed, smaller flowers and less massive plants can often get more for their money, in sizes better suited for the average home. Canadian flower lovers can also economize by buying each kind of flower at the season it is cheapest. Although most flower crops are available for much of the year, they are usually in peak supply at lowest prices for a shorter time. : Here arc some of the best bargains , for each season: In the spring, bedding plants for gardens, ealceolaria, eineraria, daf- fodil, hyacinth, hydrangea, Dine!: iris, Mies, snapdragons, stork and tulip.

Have You a Gold Mine in Your Attic? Have you a gold mine in your basement or attic? When it eomes' time for a general clean-up you may find that you have,' Take a good look to see it there's any wood or other material that can be salvaged from discarded pieces of furniture, Old doors and tabhe tops often yield good, straight lengths of wood that can he stored away to emerge later as gaily painted garden furniture, shelves; or bookcases. Even an old brbom hanule can be a diamond-in-the-rough when you need a rod for a clothes closet or legs for a small outdoor table. The same thrifty principle applies to dowels from old chairs as well as metal rods, hinges and the like. Old furniture often contains wood of an unusually good quality, even though hidden under several layers of paint. A liquid remover and a piece of sandpaper, then a new coat of paint or varnish will work wonders with a forgotten piece of furniture. Who knows? Your gold mine may produce a valuable collector's item. 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1, envelope active dry yeast Vi cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 15-ounce can solid-pack peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped 1 to 2 tablespoons canned tomato paste 2 cups grated sharp, Canadian ,pro- cessed cheddar -cheese 1 teaspoon garlic salt teaspoon pepper 1,A".1' teaspoon oregano - Combine' scalded milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, salt and shortening in a large bpwl; stirring well, and cool to 10kewarrn.

For this reason they are becoming increas- ingly popular with Canadian home gardeners from coast to meet.. "Hod bless us, every one!" .piped Tiny Tim, after he and his father, Bob Cratehitt had downed their Christmas. dinner, At the time that Dickens was writing his classics of everyday life in.England, the one most in need of blessing was the poor meal maker. It's a wonder, in fact, more of these unsung heroines didn't die the death—by pneumonia or Scald- ing. The only source of- water was a hand 'pump in a drafty back porch. They had to manage their magic while tripping around (and often over) the outstretched legs of a small army of men folk who had come into the kitchen to get warm. Today's women need run no such risks or cover the ground their grandmothers did. A housewife preparing dinner in the "good old days" walked far more than a mile, Thanks to modern magic, the same operation now means moving less than a total of a hundred yards, Planning ds, of course, the ans- wer. While meat, fish and vege- tables remain a staple part,of our diet, the working parts of the kitchen have been radically im- proved, more efficiency arranked with the sink right in the centre of things, where it belongs. Keep- ing pace with the motor ear and TV, today's combination sink is indeed "a cabinet full of miracles". Features of today's kitchen sinks include the ledgd type swing fau- cet, sometimes called a deck fau- cet. This is to sink operation what the gear shift is to the motor transmission. There'll be no more loud screams or scalded pinkies with one of these around, for they make it. Possible to obtain just the right mixture of hot and cold water for the operation at hand, What's more, the working parts aide, en- closed in a cartridge which pumps air tilt° the water as it rises from the (pipe, thereby ensuring an even flow and completely eliminating splashiness, the natural enemy of party or dinner dresses. The second miracle is the re- tractable spray nozzle. This handy tool has sufficient hose to reach any part of the sink- area with a carefully directed fine spray, a big help in cleaning grubby potatoes or refreshening green Vegetables. Th wonder-working trinity is, completed by the basket strainer, which can be closed when washing GLAMOUR COMES FROM. THE UNGLAMOROUS Cleopatra painted her toenails. Mrs. Julius Caesar slicked down her locks with pomade, So there's no reason why a man should scoff at the bottles on his wife's dress- ing table. They've been there since history began and they'll remain as long as war:en want to be more attractive. First the alchemist, then. the chemist helped her in her quest for beauty. In the. old days, cos- metics depended on natural run-; Lariats such as oils, fats and acids. Today,, the chemical indtaitri has, opened the door "to a COmpletely now range of, cosme4es "-based On synthetics, Chemistry's most sensational con— tribution to glamour is in the per- fume field. Laboriitories are pro- ducing the loveliest scents of na- ture from such unlovely raw ma- terials as coal tar and 'vegetable oils,. Before synthetics, perfume making was an elaborate business and only the wealthy few could enjoy the luxury: For instance, it took nearly 25 tons of violet petals • to yield just one ounce of natural oil,, Today, the oder is duplicated perfectly in a combination of quite ordinary plant and .vegetable The average woman can easily af- ford to smell "sweet violets" every day of the week, The finest known base in per- fume making is musk, said to be the•most alluring of all odors. It comes from the glands of the male musk deer of Tibet, but so great Was the perfumer's demand, the animal was gradually being ex- terminated. The cost of natural musk—and the price of perfume--. went sky high. NoW chemistry has developed a synthetic musk which can he produced eoonomically iit a laboratory. The cosmetic counter's today of- fer a tempting array of scents at modest cost, We enjoy wearing the frograriee, rven though a bit Skep- tical about their vaunted power as mati,,beit, nut perhaps we under- estimate their potency. In Meth- itevai ngland at one Wile there was a. law banning cOanietiea. It was illegal for it woman to tare netititiitti aids to beauty and thus procure a husband under false pre. toast's, Today's bachelors have he such protection. Thank gootineact dishes, then removed along with trapped food particles and such, which are deposited in the gar.. bage disposal unit, Such niceties, .aiso useful solving other mys- teries connected with meal getting, take 'care of a job once handled by the hard working old,fash,loned trap. Combination sink units are avail- able in various types and sizes, They may be had with one or two sinks, as desired, The compact, smaller size with regulation .sink, requires only 42 inches of wall space.

The mor- al of the story is that you can't do a .good job unless you have the proper tools, The easiest way to determine whether a glue is the best one for your purpose is to read the label on the tube or jar, The lady who wanted to mend the broken plate would have been successful with a pyroxylin-base household cement. As its nanip implies, household cement is about the most useful. glue to have around, since it sticks to almost anything except rubber. It's gbod for mending broken china, glass, wood, metal, pearl and ivdry, as well as mending a tear in paper,- fabrics and leather. Cementing plastics tbgether is a PLASTIC IS II ANDY FOR "CUTTINGS" Amateur gardeners pan take this tip from the horticulturists at the central experimental farm in Ot- tawa.
