"If he'd just do something so that
I condi onrush him:" Jerry often
thought while he marched and eoun-
termarehed with his company in the Y.

him sheut omit his ',order, with an ee-
traord•inary ferocity. Roger Trask,

Septen be., at. the invitation of the
euperintendeint of the leeal branch of
the 1.M.0 .A., the officer had given a
talk on the: discipline and service rtf
the militia. He often revelled his sat-
isfaction when atter the talk a stal-

about thirty men had doubled in size.
It was still a varied asseeement of otd
firearm, that the privates bore;
Trask had wanted them to dispense
with weapons, but .Jerry had plead-
ed so hard for them that he had con-
ceded the point.
.Terry's feeling for Trask was noth-
ing less than her•oworship, qualified
only by the secret sense of kinship
that humble appreciation claims.
Trask was exactly the kind of mss
that Jerry aspired to be—straight,
vigorous, eummanding. yet genial,
too, with a.g;eniaiity that never cern-
promised his dignity; contemplating
him .Jerry l'e'st in himself all aorta of
similar potentialities; and at the sante
time more than ever despaired of out-
growing his celtishness.
A circumstance chronicled on the
first page of the Daily Press, the fav-
orite newspaper of the workingman.
confirmed and emphasized Jerry's
secret sense of kinship with the drill-
master. The engagement of Colonel
Roger Trask and Miss CIaire Des-
mond was announced in an article
richly biographical and illustrated by
photographs of the pair. Allies Des-
mond was not only very beautiful, as
appeared .from her picture; she was
the daughter of Benjamin Desmond;
and locally that name was as signific-
ant as that of Vanderbilt or Astor.
It was not long after this that the
figure of Benjamin Desmond began to
loom portentiously alive to persons for
whom his existence had hitherto been
as mythical as that of Croesus. For
the rumor that had been disturbing
the community there proved to have
been a solid foundation; one morning
early in January the announcement
was made that the banking house of
Desmond and Company had purchased
the Purroy Steel Works.
Grim speculation at the Works,
foreboding and panic in the homes of
of the workmen, followed promptly
upon this disclosure. That evening,
on going home, .Terry found his moth-
er in a cempdetely pessimistic yet de-
spairingly resourceful frame of mind.
She wee waiting for him in the hall;
she clung round him and he felt the
trembling of her arms, the nervous
clutch of her fingers.
"Now don't you feel blue and cast
down in your mind, Jerry," she en-
treated him. "It's just when you
least expect it of them that things
have a way of coming out all right in
the end. I've been thinking what a
blessing it is that I have my health
and strength. If things come to the
worst, we ca.n maybe sell or rent the
house, and we've still got your fath-
er's life insurance money, Then in
the city I can find washing to do, and
that will keep us till you get a new
job. Of course if we can't sell or
rent the house and there's the molt -
gage to pay and you don't get some-
thing to do right off well, then I sup-
pose we'll lose pretty much everything
we own. At least we can keep body
and soul together through my wash-,

KITCHEN E
The busy woman of to -day realizes
what efficiency in the kitchen means
to her further ability to easily supply
to her family nutritious food without
waste of time and strength,
i The problem of obtaining help
brings to the housewife a thought of
the time, strength and energy required
to keep the household at par. So
that to equip the kitchen with modern
[tools and to replace the furnishings of
the household laboratory in an attrac-
tive manner is no longer a fad, but a
dire necessity.
Cleanliness is an absolute essential
thatt is based upon fundamental princi-
ples. Tho kitchen should be compact
in its arrangements, so that no motion
may be lost. Unless one can afford
a tiled kitchen, a durable wash paint is
the most economical. While the cost-
liest kitchen is not necessarily the
best, intelligent and careful planning
will count quite as much as money.
Color schemes can easily be follow-
ed. But for general utility a Colonial
buff is the best color with which to
paint the walls. The window trim-
mings may be ivory and white. A
good quality of linoleum for covering
the floor will be found satisfactory, A
kitchen cabinet, a fireless cooker and
a good range, a refrigerator and a
table with a sanitary porcelain top
would complete the large furniture
needed In the kitchen.
Have the man of the house build
and attach to the kitchen table a
frame that will act as a rack, above
the table, to hold dippers, strainers
and other utensils that are necessary.
A drawer in this table to hold the
knives, measuring spoons, etc., will
make for time saving and efficiency.
A careful selection of pots and pans is
vitally necessary, and right here I
wish to tell the housewife my pat and
pan stony.
Sixty-five out of every hundred per-
sons suffer from some form of in-
testinal indigestion. That is due to
the manner in which the fool is cooked
or to the utensil itself, How many
women are there who, in cooking food
in an enamel saucepan, stir the food
while cooking and then tap the spoon
on the edge of the pan. Ahl I see
you smile, for you all recognize the old
, trick. Now, do you know that often

you chip the enamel off the saucepan,
sometimes into the foot!, and you have
to pick it out; then again,oftener you
fail to see the damage you
e done
until, when washing the pots and
pans, you find a spot where you have
chipped off the enamel. Now, if you
have a broken spot in the bottom of
your saucepan and you are stirring
the food that is cooking in this pot,
using a metal spoon to stir with, you
are grating off the glass coating on
'the enamel saucepan into your food.
Think about this, and then use wood-
en spoons for stirring all foods while
cooking in all saucepans.
These wooden spoons need not be
costly, and any handy man around the
house can whittle a couple of paddles
for you from any piece of hardwood,
preferably maple or ash, in a very few
minutes. Learn to use the fireless
cooker for cereals and brealcfast foods
and also for eooking the cheaper cuts
of meat, Meat cooked in the fireless
cooker loses proportionately less per
pound than meat cooked upon the coal,
gas or electric ranges.
Use all left -over breakfast cereals in
making bread.
A word about the refrigerator.
Upon this important household uten-
sil depends the health of the family.
The ice compartment should be suffici-
ently large to keep a piece of ice that
will keep the food compartments at a
temperature of not less than 50 de-
grees Fahrenheit constantly, A
thorough cleansing three times a week
is an absolute necessity, Remove
the drain pipe and flush and swab out
the trap. This is very important. Do
not place the refrigerator in a dark,
damp place.
Do not permit the drain to be con-
nected with the sewer, If the waste
pipe is attached have'it made so that
it may be frequently taken apart and
flushed with boiling soda water,,
Drain the waste water from the re-
frigerator into the garden or yard.
To make a drain from the icebox, cut
a hole in the floor and place a large
funnel in the hole. nNow connect suf-
ficient length of pipe used for speak-
ing tubes to this hole and drain into
the yard or garden, This pipe can
easily be taken apart for frequent
flushing.
To Have Clean Windows.
There are few women who really
enjoy cleaning windows, and one rea-
son must be that the result is so often
disappointin ;. Soap always seems
to smear the glass, and the cloth gets
too drippy and countless things hap-
pen. But one housewife, has thought
about it hard and has decided just
what is the best method of cleaning
her winnows. She sent us her deci-
sion, and here it is:
"I have found a way," she says, oto
polish windows brilliantly with the
least possible work. I can clean them
whether the sun is shilling or not, so
infallible ie my method. First wipe
off the dust with a dry cloth, or if
eery dirty, with a damp one, then put
a small quantity oaf water In a basin
and make it very; strong with house-
hold ammonia, using not more than
two parts of water theme of ammonia.
Dip a small cloth or sponge in this
and wring It nearly dr"y, then go over
the glees, rubbing hard but working
rapidly. Wipe itnmediately with e,
dry, aimless cloth, or the pane will be
dry before you can get over it, The
sole objection to this method is in the
effect of the strong solution on one's
fingers, A rubber or leather glove
may be used, but even without gloves
Ifrnd It takes so short a time to clean
a number of windows that if one is
careful to wash the hands immediately
after the task, then rub them with
lemon juice or vinegar and rinse
again with clear water, there will be
no unpleasant effect."

Food Control Corner
Frequent statements appear that
mills are insisting upon dealers buy-
ing large amounts of flour in order to
gest feed. This is not the case, and
has not been for some time. The
stills are able to sell all the flour they
cern stake for export to the Allies, for
cash, and at a price equlvnh•nt to that
allowed by the Canada Fuad Board to
be charged to the Canadian trade and
there is no necessity for attempting to
force sales in Canada, as otherwise
might be the cause, an. feed cannot be
made unless fluor is made and taut be
sold.
The Canada Food Board, the !weer!
Ilranch of the Department of Agri-
culture and the millers have been
working together for months upon the
very difficult problem of the fairest
method ofdistributing , , nd
n iron and
shorts. The demand in Canada for
these feeds is many times the total
output of Canadlan mills and comes
from all parts of the country. The
prices fixed for bran and shorts have
o made them relatively cheaper than
Y other feeds, such as oats and barley,
•nand this has increased the demand
o and, moreover, in many parts of the
country, oats and barley were a short
crop last year, as was also hay,
The extreme need of our Allies in
Europe for every pound of flour and
every bushel of wheat that could he
spared has necessitated the lengthen-
ing of the extraction in milling. Under
ordinary conditions about 270 pounds
of wheat would be used to make 19G
pounds of flour, and allowing 3 pounds
fur waste there would remain 71
Pounds of offal, bun about 10 pounds
of the lower grade flour would be add-
ed to the shorts to make middlings so
that there would be a total of abort
81 pounds of feed produced. Under
the Order now in force the mills must
make 100 pounds of flour out of 258
pounds of whoat and cannot turn any
back into the shorts, so that to -clary
only 59 pounds of feed is made in the
process of grinding a barrel of flour
and the richer feeds cannot be made at
all. Taking an equal amount of wheat
in each case, this means that almost
25 per cent, less feed is being made
than before, which of course has made
the feed problem still more difficult.
It is entirely out of the question for .
the stills, under these conditions, to
ship full carloads of bran and shorts
to meet the demand for feed without
causing users at other points to suffer.
It would mance no difference to the
miller whether he sold in full car-
loads or in less than carloads, for his
price to the trade is fixed at the same
amount per ton in both cases, but the
best and fairest method of distribu-
tion has required shipment in smaller
quantities. If a dealer does not re-
quire flour or some other cereal pro-
duce to fill a car, this of course in-
volves the payment by the dealer of
the higher freight rate charged upon
1, c, 1. shipments. This difference
in freight may run from $1,00 to
$10.00 per ton, according to distance.
Dealers are naturally anxious to avoid
this extra cost, which might put them
at a disadvantage as compared with
competitors in the same district who
could fill a mixed ear, and although
there is no extra profit to them the
millers do not desire their customers
to be at a disadvantage if they need
oats, barley, oatmeal or flour which
could be used to fill the car. There
is, however, no such thing as compul-
sion on the part of the miller nor any
financial object on his part in insist-
ing, since he can make no more money
by doing so and already has a bigger
market for all his products than he
can fill.
The critical condition of food sup-
plies for the Allies during the next
;few months has led the Canada Food
Board to pass additional orders affect-
ing wheat and flour. It has been
made illegal for farmers, or anyone
else, to use any minable wheat for
feed for any kind of animals, Con -
punters are prohibited from accumul-
ating stocks of flour beyond their ac-
tual current needs and must return to
dealers any excess they may have
been hoarding, and dealers must re-
port their excess stocks which will he
returned to the millers or disposed of
as the Canada Food Board directs.
The British Ministry of Food has
proved that excellent bread can be
made by the addition of 15.20 and even
50 per cent, of potatoes. rt has prov-
ed that a loaf made. of equal parts of
flour and potatoes adds 5a/a pounds of
bread for every 7 pounds of potatoes
used.
The potato bread mado in England
is better than the regulation war broad,
Why should not every Canadian wo-
man who bakes her own bread get in-
to the habit of using a certain percents
age of potatoes? !'hose who have
tried it out are enthusiastic about the
results,
It is a fact that we scarcely know
the value of potatoes in this country
yet, Germany's wise use of peta•
^toes helps her to hold out against the
Allies. Our wise use of potatoes
would farther strengthen our arm in
bringing victory nearer. Germany eats
three times as many potatoes as We ole
in Canada. Now is the time .for us
to show some practical patriotism—to
