There were moments, 'therefore, when the cautious Mr. Podmore felt qualms which though not born of a troubled conscience, were nonetheless disagree - as he raight--and he had spent hours .in deep thought—even his keen mind had. been unable to solve the situation to his" satisfaction. Somebody had stepped in and walked. off with this ,211,04-ey in front of his nose in spite that Clayton had not double-crossed him. Clayton had tairen the first train for Chicago; but not before Pod- more had third-degkeed him into ab- ject fear. No, Clayton had had no hand in it; that was certain, and with that once estiablished, the identity of the arch -thief remained a mystery which baffled investigation—especial- ly when the situatiOn called for the utmost circumspection. It was a problem which Podinore was forced to solve without consulting anyone. He could not go boldly to his supposed partners with -his discov- ery; for thereby he would reveal to Nickleby and Alderson his own at- tempt at double dealing. That he had to be very careful what he did, Mr. Hughey Podmore realized,—very care- ful indeed. For this mix-up held many possibilities for pereonal misfortune. In fact, the situation suddenly had be - own interests. There was rio mis- taking the earnestness with which he spoke, and McAllister stared at him. "You have some inside information to pastry it?

Conscience in the case of Hughey Podmore, if it had ever existed, had been a stunted affair which because of malnutrition long since had given up the ghost. Its place had been pre- empted by Argus -eyed regard for all matters affecting the preservation of Mr. Podmore's precious epidermis— the safety of his own skin. And Hughey Podmore was well aware that a large contribution to campaign funds by a construction company would be a matter of immediate sus picion among Opponents of the Gov ernment if it became known. Such things had got people into trouble be- fore this. It- had been one of the things which had landed the famous Honorable Harrington Rives in jail— and others who were involved. Hughey Podmore knew all about that strenuous period of political chaos. Twelve years ago he had been an eager -eyed young reporter. with it large appreciation of newspaper sen- sations. His skill at f,erreting into hidden recesses by 'unscrupulous methods had made him a valuable man fax a paper which was willing to ig- nore certain time-honored traditions of the press. Under editorial stimulus Hughey had blossomed forth among the flowers of the journalistic profes- sion as it yellow chrysanthemum. "Mum" heeame the word wherever Hughey showed himself! His repute- tiorrfinally had ostracised him into other fields of endeavor. Those had been the days! la sally he and Rives had been working to- gether!

Those who thought that France, "bled white," was doomed to perish, mast marvel at the power of the na- tion to revive. Returning tourists who have had a good time there na- turalla see things in a favorable light, but official accounts also are cheerful. Fax example, Le Temps reports that there were 623,000 marriages in 1920, �r twice as many as in the same period before the war; the births were 44,000 more than in 1913, and the deaths 56,000 fewer.

The housewife may, therefore, plan to have her baking operations fit in with her other duties in the home. Mixing, kneading, molding and baking the process and not subjected alter- nately to heating' and chilling. But how may the housewife control the temperature of the dough? The simplest way is to provide herself with a "sponge boy," which is a simple box or cabinet, capable of holding the dough, and which can be warmed by means of hot water, a hot stone, a small lamp or an electric light bulb. On an extremely hot day the cabinet may be se adjusted that they will not may likewise be cooled by means of conflict with other matters, and the baking especially may be arranged to come during the ,time that her pres- ence in the kitchen is required for other reasons as 'well. NOT' need she spend the entire morning in the kit- chen mainly to "watch the dough." Knowing the temperature of the dough and the time required for xis - that of maintaining the temperature in•g, the housewife may calculate just of articles placed within it. If, there- fore, a. sponge or dough be mixed so that its temperature is correct, then placed inside the cooker, this temper- ature will be maintained. On it cold cold water or ice. The thermometer, by means of which the temperature is regulated, is one of the most import- ant things in conneetion. with the sponge box. In place of the sponge box a fire- less cooker- may be used. The pgin- ciplee underlying its construction is when her dough will need attention., Dark, close streaks in the crumb of bread are often due to unevenness in temperature during rising. Particular - day it is well to have net only the lywhen a dough has 'been chilled anca liquid but also the flour slightly fails to rise properly the housewife is warmed.

Without the aid of a ther- menseter it is difficult to gauge the dough is to stand -a considerable length of time, neither'. the flour nor thtemperature, and there is danger that e — the yeast ...cells in that portion of dough most ex -posed fo the heat may be killed. Although blended later with the rest of the dough no expansion of this portion takes place, and close streaks in the finished crumb are the result. Could the housewife but realize the importance of knowing the teraper- ature of the dough she would not be- grudge the investment of a dollar or two in, a simple dairy or chemical thermometer. Through its use guess work is elhnleated, the operations of bread-inaking maybe 'adjusted to suit the convenience of the housekeeper, and bread or hot rolls may be provided fresh for any meal. Moreover, the never, texture and general quality of the product are almost sure to be excellent. liquid should be warmed:, and certain- ly the radiator should not. Again- a thermometer should be used, fax how can one guess accurately by "feel" when the liquid is luke warm? .Dif- ferent andivideals vary greatly in their sensitiveness to heat and guess, work may cause great -error in gauging the temperature of liquid or radiator. Two general methods fax making bread are.. practiced largely in this country, the "sponge" and the "straight dough." Each of these may be divided into the short or quick and the long or overnight process, depend- ing upon the amount of yeast 'Used as well. RS Upon the temperature main- tained. Besides using less yeast in their preparation over night, sponges or doughs are generally kept at a lower temperature than those made by the shorter daytime process.

Though Canada Is drawingon her tlnla ber wealth to satisfy a w!..de, variety of needs, the principal phase Of interest at the present time, both from itit in- ternal and external point of vieW,1, is in her pulpwood posseesioes.

It haia been. estimated that there are 500,000;000 acres of forest la'rid" Canada, about half of which is cover- ed with merchantable timber. On this there should remain, de ucting the amou.rit'cleare.d and cut by lumbermen, according, to estimate at 3,000 board feet per acre, a total of 3279 billioa feet. Owing to destructive fireS' this has been lessened considerably, Just exactly how much pulpwood is aveil. able it is impossible to state. A state- ment put out under gcvernmental authority in 1915, estimated Canada's supply of pulpwood at 1,033,370,000. A more recerit estimate made by the Canadian Commission of Conservation giVes the total pulpwood resources of Canada at the present time ns 901,000,- 000 cords of coniferous pulpwood species, and adds that there are also largo amounts of peeler and jacapine it ail the prortecas which are, to an extent, used in the manufacture Of Some papers. The Situation in Eastern Canada. A study of the pulpwood situation in Eastern Canada by the Comaiiseion of Conservation gives a total estimate of actually available spruce and balsam in Quebec, °ataxia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as, roughly speaking, 306,000,000 cords, with a poesible ad- dition of 38,000,000 cords in Ontario with the extension of the Temislcam- ing and Northern Ontario Railway. Accessible and inaccessible the Com- mission places the supply of spruce and balsam in ate Eastern Provincea at 501,000,000 cords. The commission's estimate includes roughly 100,000,000 cards in Ontario, 18 per cent. of Which are privately held; 155,000,000 cords in Quebec, 14 per cent. private; 26,000,000 cords in New Brunswick, 46 per cent. private; an.d 25,000,000 cords in Nova Scotia, practically all private. The annual consumption and pulpwood experts of spruce and balsam from these four pro-vinces is between five and six mil- lion cords. British Columbia is estimated to con- tain 92,000,000 acres of absolute forest land of avbich 33,000,000 acres con- tain merchantable timber,- about half of which haa been damage'd by fire. There aro estimated to be 225,000,000 cords of pulpwood in the Pacific Coast province. Exploitation in „this pro- vince has only begun, but already Bri- tish Columbia ranks as third pro- ducer in the nation's pulp and paper industry, and very extensive develop- ments in the near future are quite as- sured. The totally une,xplaited---pleywoocl resources of the Prairie'Provinces are estimated to account for '85,000,000 cards. Great areas of young forest growth exist on lantls previously burn- ed, and these should in time consider- ably supplement the preseat pulpwood supplies. . Behind the Door.
