,cases fat ---so avoid frying , when-
ever possible.
4. Cook vegetagl'es in small amount
Of water and use whatever liquid

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. N. C. asks.: "What is the
reason for coarse-textured muffins
when I use •sour cream instead of
sweet cream?"
Answer. If you use a tartrate
baking powder with sour cream,
add 3 taps, of baking powder in-
stead of 4 tsps, and you must stop
stirring the instant that the drY
ingredients are just dampened. r;
If a calcium Phosphate ate or •S.A.S.—
phosplrate baking powder has been
used, stir until.dry ingredients are
dampened and' then 4 or b •strokes
more,
Miss J. M. suggests: That if you
make up your sandwiches for your
lunch box the night bee:re, leave
theme unwrapped in the •orlaping pan
of the electric refrigerator over
night. '.hey will taste quite fresh at
noon.
An English visitor ,suggests:
When yoel empty a mills 'bottle, rinse
out the, milk that remains with
water and use it for cooking, in
gravy, or cream sauce, or puddings,

This is a war of Steel ... and of Electricity!
Ontario's wartime plants now use over 1,000,000 hydro -electric
horsepower. And still more hydro power must be harnessed to steel
to produce guns, gun carriages, tanks, corvettes, cargo vessels, etc.
Over half of Canada's wartime weapons are "made in Ontario". Your
Ontario Hydro System must and will supply the electric energy to
produce them.
Now, you can see why we must al! save "Hydro" current in

every way. Such savings will help to win our Battle for Freedom.
Everyone can help—in homes, offices, shops, factories and public
buildings. Not a single unit of electricity, for Tight, heat or power
should be used unnecessarily.
Remember, too, that wartime production must be paid for. Save
all the money you can and buy more War Savings Certificates.
