THE MAIN COURSE OF
FOOD AND EVENTS
.Hello Homemakers! O o m i 0 g
events may "east their shadows
before" — but shortages in goods
provide a strange new experience
for most of us. To -day the dinner
table of the average Canadian home
reflects these shortages and brings.
the war close. .Now we can admire
with more 'understanding the spirit
with which the people or Britain
have accepted changing conditions.
Thoughtful people will not only
be anxious to comply with Govern.
meat regulations — they will study
equivalent food values of other
plentiful ,Canadian -products and
also methods of quick cooking to
conserve electricity.
Where rationing is fashionable
- it is up to ne to make it 90. The
question, "How does it affect me?"
has only one answer — multiply
what you do by 11,000,000 and see
if it adds up to 100 per cent war
effort. The right spirit is as vital
to us as our daily bread and as
necessary for victory.

Take the Chill Off
Water For Livestock
Starey-coaled constipated cattle
shivering hump -backed at icy
troughs on a bleak winter day are an
abject of sympathy and a standing
advertisement of shrunken profits,
says W. D. Albright, Superintendent
of the Dominion 'Experimental
tion, Beaverlodge, Alta.
On a cold day animals do not
drink enough water if it is ice-cold.
What they cls take chills them, and
cheeks natural functions. Results
are .constipation, i11 -thrift and some-
times Indigestion.
Warni water is relaxing, thus sub-
atittute9 in part for sucorolent feed.
Half a pailful of tepid water has
brought around many a horse after
an immersion or after a hard cold
drive.
Swine do: poorly on iced drinks In
winter thne. They thrive best when
penned i'n •com+fortable quarters and
given tempered food and drink.
While it may be inadvisable to
accustom teams to lultewarm water
if they are likely now and then to be
,proffered ice-cold beverages away
from home and while moderation is
probably advisable with all classes
of stock, a heater in the drieking
tank will not only avoid much ice -
chopping bat will contribute decid-
edly to the health and comfort of the
farmyard stock,

-Shortage of Materials
-Reduced Production
-Factory Facilities
devoted to war work
FOR these reasons the supply of Duro Pumping Systems will be
considerably reduced this year.
We will stipply our dealers with as many new Pumps as materi-
als and manufacturing facilities will permit but if you already have
a Duro Pump, we suggest that you ask your Duro dealer to check
it over and replace worn parts; if required.
Make certain your pump is in first class running order to insure
a continuance of the satisfactory Duro pumping service to which
you have become accustomed.
If you haven't running water in your home, your Duro dealer
may be able to secure a Duro Pump for you, especially if it will
increase farm production and your efficiency.
The Duro Special shown below pumps 250
gals. per hour and has 25 gal. galvanized tank.
