Dainty Dishes.
Cold Meat Warmed Over, 1. -
Cook together two tablespoons uf
butter and the same amount of our -
rant or other tart fruit jelly until
they melt and blend, and lay in
them slices of cold lamb, veal or
chicken; let them become hot
through. Season with salt and pep-
per and serve.

llfelt a tablespoon of butter in your
blazer, fry in it half a minced on-
ion, pour in a cup of stewed toma-
toes, freed from lumps and seasoned
to taste with salt, pepper, and a
little sugar. Let this become smok-
ing hot and lay in it slices of cold
beef or mutton or veal and heat
through. If needed, add more salt
and pepper and serve. This is a
savory way of heating any kind of
cold meat.
Cheese Fontlu.-Melt a table-
spoon of butter in the chafing dish
over boiling water, add to it a cup
of milk in which you have dissolv-
ed a tiny pinch of soda, a small cup
of fresh breadcrumbs, and two cups
of grated cheese. Add pepper and
salt to taste, cook all together un-
til . smooth, add two beaten eggs,
and cook three minutes longer.
Serve on toast or crackers.
Minced Han>. with Eggs. -Mix
hall a pound of cracker crumbs
with an equal quantity of finely
minced boiled liam (a leftover).
Moisten the mixture with a. little
;hot water in which a small piece of
batter has been melted. Put the
mixture in a baking dish, make de-
pressions in the surface, and place
in each the yolk and white of an
egg. Bake to a delicate brown.
Any other meat may be used in
the same way.
Bread Without Yeast. -Take a
cup of your sponge of a morning
before, mixing your bread and put
it in a glees jar with a hall cup of
sugar on top. Koop it in a cool
place and add some of this in the
place of yeast the next trine. Make
a batter of luke warm water and
ilour, acid the starter, and take
some out each morning before put-
ting in the salt. The addition of
this kills the starter.
'l'u(ti Frutti Cake Recipe. -- One
cup each cf butter, sugar, and sweet
milk; two and a half cups of Sour
sifted several times with two heap-
ing teaspoons of baking powder,
one pound each of raisins, figs, al-
monds, and dates; a quarter pound
of citron, and the whites of seven
eggs beaten stiff. Blanch the al-
monds and cut in thin strips, stone
the dates, seed the raisins, and
chop all the fruit. Dredge it with
flour before putting it into the
cake.
Orange Maranrlatle.-Slice thin
two dozen oranges, removing-, the
seeds, but not the peel, Shred. and
seed two lemons and put with them.
Measure the juice .from them and
put with it enough water to make
three quarts of liquid, and put this,
with the sliced fruit, into a stone
crock. Cover this and let it stand
all night. In the morning empty the
contents of the jar into a preserv-
ing kettle, bring slowly to a sine
mer and keep the fruit et this un-
til it is tender. Allow a pound of
sugar to each pint of juice and cook
all together until the peel. of the
fruit is clean and transparent, then
take from the fire, and when it is
cool turn it into jars 'or jelly gias-
ses and seal.
Orange Preserves. - Select a
number of small medium sized
oranges and weigh them. Take
their weight in sugar, grate the peel
or the oranges slightly and score
them around with a knife, taking
pains not to let the knife pierce the
skin, Put them in cold water for
three days, changing the water on
then( throe times each day.., At the
end of the time tie them loosely in
e cloth, put them over the file in
warns water, bring them to a sim-
mer, and cook gently until the skin
is tender enough for pin to pene-
trate it easily. While they cook.
put the sugar over the Are with a
half' pint of water for each pound
and boil for five minutes. Strain
through a cloth, return to the fire,
pul; the oranges in the syrup, and
cook slowly until the syrup is yel-
low and begins to stiffen. Take a
little of it out to coolwhen you
think the right point is reached and
sae if it jollies. Don't let it be
too stiff, If there is not syrup
enough to cover the oranges oom-
pietely,, turn than often, that all

is. Strange to say, there is no odor
of onion in the room, either.
LONDONJTAS REACHED MUT.
It Is Improbable That Population
Will Increase.
.London, England; has nearly
reached its limit of population.
That is one of the conclusions in an
interesting report issued recently'
on the decline in the rateable val-
ue of London. Discussing the
cause, Mr. J. C. Spensley, assistant
statistical officer of the London
County Council, declares that While
to some extent inoreaeing taxation
and rates have had their effect, the
chief causes are probably those as-
sociated with the movement of pop-
ulation, more especially the move-
ment outwards. Them has been a
lessening of the demand for house
accommodation, involving an in-
crease of empty, properties and 'a
reduction of rents.
There can be little doubt, says
Mr. Spenseley, that dissatisfaction
with the old type of house in Lon-
don is a factor of considerable im-
'portance in the outward movement
of the population. Moreover, it is
.a factor 'which affects almost alt

'!'illi FARMER'S ANSWER. TO
TILE ROAD PROBLEM.
Nrovineittl Government Will Iatvcs•
Ligate Rinds of Material Suit-
able for Highways,
Tho official report of this year's
Convention of the Ontario Good
!toads Aeaceiution, to be published
shortly, will contain a number of
interesting resolutions bearing on
the Highway Problem in Ontario.
These resolutions are of particular
value as voicing the sentiment of
the rural community throughout
the Province. Bepresentatives of
practically every county from Essex
to Glengarry were in attendance at
the sessiuns,of tine Convention, and
the number to register ran dose to'
seven hundred. Whatever propos-
als, therefore, received the sanc-
tion of such a body can be taken as
representing in a fair degree the
ideas held by the farming comma-
nity generally in the Province.
Resolutions Adopted.
Briefly stated, the resolutions
ere as follows :-
1. That the Provincial Govern-
ment should give a grant towards
the maintenance as well as the con-
striiction of roads; -
2. That the Government's pro-
portion towards the cost of builtl
ing county roads should be increas-
ed from one-third to one-half;
3. That automobiles should either
be taxed per horse -power. or per TAILORED DRESS BY
weight, the revenue thus received
to apply towards the maintenance
of roads •
4. That the statute labor system
should be abolished;
5. That the Government should
regard permanent roads in the
same light as railroads which were
subsidized to the extent of $0,000
a Mile;
0. That good roads as a medium
of quicker transportation would be
the chief factor towards repopulat-
ing the rural sections;
7. That good roads would do
much towards reducing the cost of
living;
8. _Mat the license fee on autos
should be raised from $4 to $25 a
year, and the revenue applied to-
wards roadmaking;
9. That the Government grants
assist in the construction of all
county bridges over 100 feet in
length.
Such a programme of reform
opens up a number of difficult ques-
tions, such as Government opera-
tion in local municipalities;, the
earmarking of a tax (a departure
from the practice at present in
vogue in Ontario), and the discard-
ing of a system of road workwider
which .practically the total mileage
of the Province has heretofore
been. treated. It is evidence, how-
ever, that the country is awakening
to the fact that something radical
must be done to meet the increas-
ing demands of modern traffic, and.
that the people are ready to ap-
proach the problem with open
minds and adopt whatever solution
proves itself most practicable.
Row to handle the Problem.
The -resolutions adopted by the.
Convention show that the farmer
has recognized the magnitude of the
problem and that he realizes that
the only way to cope with it is to
handle it in a large way. Hence, in
providing for maintenance, he asks
that this be made to a great extent
a Government task; he. asks that
the building of leading county*
roads be undertaken 'on a larger
scale; he points out that the motor-
ists who are using the roads in
very increasing numbers should be
called upon to become directly re-
sponsible for part of the expense;
and he advocates the placing of lo-
cal road building on a business bas-

this point, the Provincial Minister
of Agriculture, Hon. Dr. Reaume,
has expressed himself, as follows :
"One of the questions of highest
importance to be dealt with by the
Provincial Government is the main-
tenance of roads. It costs money
to build roads and a great deal
more money, together with careful
attention, to keep them in order
after they are built.
"To -clay we are on the verge of
having our dreams realized, and it
is the intention of the Government
to investigate the kinds of material
suitable for roads in various parts
of the Province. We intend to
start right and feel our way in car-
rying out the great scheme that has
been outlined,"
The farmer knows' whet good
roads would mean for rural On-
tario. Both political parties are
pledged to highway betterment.
Road improvement is, in fact, a
business and not a political issue,
and the answer which the farmers
give to the problem will go a great
way towards forming the scheme of
improvement that is finally adopted.
If the farmer continues.to insist on
progressive measures like those
embodied in the above resolutions,
a system of highways of which On-
tario can be proud will be assured,
"Rainless Wheat."
Dr. Macdonald of the South Af-
rican Department of Agriculture
declares that it is now possible to
'grow a "rainless wheat'':that is to
say, a crop upon which no single
drop of rain has fallen between
aced time and harvest. It does not
maintain its sxistcnoe without
moisture, but all that is necessary
is obtlninecl from the deposit of a
previous season in "moisture sav-
ing fellows." This would mean a
great boon for those areas where
the rainfall is uncertain and irriga-
tion, for various reasons, impossi-
ble.
