With a Can of Salmon.
',What shall we have for lunch?" is
often as serious a plea as "What shall
we have for dinner?"
The solution is frequently found in
the emergency can of salmon, which
should be upon every housewife's
shelves. Canned salmon is a good,,
whoiesenie food, and while many
may utilize it to some extent, it is
really capable of wider use.
Canned salmon is a most concen-
trated food equal to meat, and also
containing' considerable fat. It there-
fore cotnliries best with starchy food,
either bread or potatoes, or milk. The
most quickly prepared dish is, of
course, simple creamed salmon,
which can be laid on toast or served
on open, stale rolls. But where a
little more time is available, it is bet-
ter to prepare the salmon as a steam-
ed loaf, or.a baked dish.
Such a loaf can be combined with
bread crumbs, eggs, seasoning,
placed in a buttered mold and steam-
ed about half an hour, or baked a lit-
tle les„ time. It can be surrounded
with a garnish of plain boiled riee or
mashed potato. Another way to use
Salmon is to make it into a creamed
puree soup. Rave ready a thin white
;sauce; pick the salmon free from the
pones and mash fiyte. Add this sal-
t/Ion pulp to the sauce, season well

THE EXTRAORDINARY CROPS.
Should Be No Let-up in Canada's
Farm Output.
The Government estimate of $800,-
000,000 as the value of Canadian field
crops for 1915 coincides with indepen-
tient business estimates. The total i
so much in excess of the best previous
output by Canadian farmers that
upon the first statement it might rea-
sonably be regarded as exaggerated.
It is indeed remarkable that in one
year the value of the field crops

The Fashions
Novelties on Spring Counters.
Even the most skeptical among us
must he thrilled and interested by
the attractive novelties Fashion is
now placing on her spring counters,
and in her spring shops, Far in-
stance there are the quaint bonnets
which are being displayed at the mo-
ment iii our millinery departments,
as a logical sequence of the modish
gathered and haring' skirts.
Fluttering about one of these bon-
nets, a fascinating creation of garnet
braid and white gardenias, in one of
our smart shops the other afternoon,
was a quaintly smart little person,
dressed all in gray. She wore one of
s' the new faille suits, made with a
could be increased from about $550
000,000 to 5800,000,000, an increase
about 45 per cent., notwithstanding a
great decline in prices. The extraor
dinary yields per acre for grain in
the West contributed the chief part
of the great surplus, but another im-
portant factor was the increase in
acreage as a result of the war and
of the special campaign on production
conducted last Winter. The result of
that campaign may be summed up
in the figures, which show that the
additional wheat acreage was about
two million, and the ' average yield
about 28 bushels to the acre. The
campaign therefore led directly or
indirectly, to an increased output of
about 50,000,000 bushels.
If it was important for Canada
last year to have large increases in
crops, it is equally so this year. The
zecovery'in business has tended to
distract public attention from the
crops question. For the payment of
Canada's large war commitments we
must have steady progress in output.
The weather is, of course, beyond
control, and it~` has a powerful say in
what the harvest shall be, but even if
the extraordinary yields of last year
are not again attained for several
years the area planted should go on
expanding. Are steps being taken -to
urge another special year of `erop-
expansion? If not, they ought to
be, The exceptional returns from
the yield now being marketed ought of
themselves to be a sufficient incentive
to larger production. But a 'consider-
able part of the Canadian army now.
overseas and in training at home
consists of farmers' sons and farm
help. ` Withdrawal of effective labor
frosii the farms may tend to diminish
the 'area under cultivation. Farmers
who have done remarkably well in
one:year do not always come back to
their ci"9pping with equal vigor. They
"taketi t} a. little easier:" Under the
special _circumstances of Canada's
position`as a belligerent, there ought
to be no let-up in Government efforts:

MANY GERMANQFF[CERS SUICIDE
THEY RAVE GREAT FEAR OF
THE FUTURE.
Russia's Growing Power Causes ;n -
easiness in the German
Ranks.
Roumanians .and • Greeks who have
lately left Germany report marked
disappointment on all sides at the pro-
longation of the war, and especially
the renewal of Russia's fighting
strength, says a Petrograd correspon-
dent.
.A Greek officer says that suicides
among wounded and convalescents oc-
cur painfully often. In the boarding-
house
oarding-house where he stayed for some time
in Berlin were eleven German oflieers
recovering from sickness or wounds.
Three of them killed tlaeme:Ives.
It is common talk in Germany that
a hundred thousand were killed in thea
fruitless autumn campaign in lt:ls:aia;
the number of wounded and captured
is, of course, far larger.
These losses might be borne with
resigr..ation if they gave dueisive re-
sults, but, as Maaimilial Harden has
admitted in the Zunkunft, Russia will
be stronger in the spring than at any
m
time before, and the foolish dreaof
a separsete peace I: as faded utterly
away.
Furthermore, the difficulty and dear-
ness of living tl ?erose -es the poorer

turn to the former comfortable condi-
tions of existence.

Iia this district,. she says, the scarc-
ity
of food is pitiable. Wheat and
flour are impossible to buy, and even
last winter there were ao cattle, and
therefore leo meat.
All food stores which are transport-
able wore sent to Germany at the be-
ginning of the war. People say that
re if the war lasts much longer the Ger-
of mans will "literally” have eaten them.
se There is general grumbling about
nks, the feeding of the Austro-Hungarian
or soldiers, who have fregi.ently no meat
s or soup, and only potatoes. The Bun -
pearl= openly say that peace must be
the matte.
the These pictures are drawn, it 'must
in be remembered, mostly by those who
es, wish to believe them true. There is

basis of truth, but it would be foolish

Popularity of the Jumper.
The jumper dress or blouse is one do
of the most satisfactory notions in- fam
traduced for many seasons; instead of Sib
losing favor because of its general mitt
popularity, it is, on the contrary, be- ing
coming daily more in demand. For aim
business, street, and general daytime sen
wear, the dark blue serge, jumper
frock combined with an underblouse
of crepe de Chine, Georgette, or black
satin, is most satisfactory. The fact lana
that the underblouse may be changed,
and the frock so varied, makes its ap-
peal to women who like a change now
and then, but who cannot afford a
great number of frocks.
Satin or taffeta blouses or junipers, sleeves of a transparent or, con-
trasting material are still being worn
for afternoons and more dressy occa-
sions, combined with skirts or taffeta;
faille or satin. •
