"Good evening, Major Thomson,"
he began. "Please sit down and join
us for a moment."
Thomson was a little surprised at
the gathering,
"You'll forgive my suggesting that
this is likely to be e. marked spot to-
night," he said,
The Premier smiled.
"Well, you could scarcely expect us
to hide, could you,"Major Thomson?"
he remarked. "In any case, there is
not one of us who is not prepared to
share what the other citizens of Lon-
don have to face. The country for
the women and cheerer', if you please.
We gather, sir, that it is chiefly
through you that we are in the for•-�

Can Your Surplus Meat,
There is a tendency in many farm
homes to feast on Meat during De-
cenber, January and February and to
some extent fast, as far as fresh meat
is concerned, during the other months
of the year, This is not at all neces-
sary, if someof the meat is canned
when animals are hfl:ed on the farm:'
Canning meat is as easy as .canning
veget') es and the ,process is the
far/trier cold pack method which many
housciccepers already use.
The work is quickly and easily done
here between us all: We deckled to
chickens dressed and tut up, as if for
frying, then sf'tparate the meat, pack-
ing some jars with "drumsticks"
alone, other jars with white pleat and
still others with dark meat. Later
on when wanted, for soupmall that is
necessary is to open a jar of peeks,,
wings, etc, The white meat can be
used for salads, creamed chicken and
san 1w iches, The dark meat is baked
or used in various other ways. Thus
you have just the nart of the thicken
needed for the dish you 'are making.
Chicken can be packed in pint ar quart
jars, depending upon the size of the
family, Half -ping jars are a conven-
ient size for chicken which is to be
used for sandwiches.

Edward Lloyd was censured and his

ly.
The frequenters of Lloyd's n to cof!ee-
hou a were not permitted s enjoy
their monopoly of marine insurance
for long, and in 1720 Parliament al-
lowed two other companies to be es-
tablished in (London.
Aboutone hundred years later there
was a Parliamentary inquiry into the
monopoly enjoyed by LIoyd's and
these.teio companies: The House of
Commons decided that Lloyd's liad
rendered• such great service to the
country by supplying the Government
with information regarding maritime
matters that it should retain its pr•ivi-
leges,
Ten years later, however, an' Ant
was passed by which marine insur-
ance was thrown open, and since that
date many other Companies have been
established.
All candidates for membership at
Lloyd's have to deposit such security
for their liabilities as may be requires(.
This security- at the present time
amounts to over $20,000,000.
