Some Vegetables Seldom Grown.
With so many good vegetables to
be had for..a song, itis a . pity that
the average ,farm „garden groweth
them note' 'Sterne.vegetables little
known should be grown more widely.
Everybody grows beets, if they
own a garden, but few are familiar
with the aristocrat of the tribe—
Swiss chard, a 'beet that can't• be
beat for greens. Greens that are
healthful, delicious in flavor, easily
grown, cut and cleaned, are possible
wherever Swiss chard is cultivated.
The cut -and -come -again quality of
Swiss chard rivals the best of -spin-
. itch. There is no waste, as stem and
leaf are .equally good. The. mid -rib
:is so heavy and thick that it can be
served like asparagus, with cream
or drawn butter. '
As a marketable plifnt it is profit-
able, Besides the sup]tly needed for
I,tlte family several dollars' worth of
greens can he sold in one 'season
from a small packet of seed.
Kohl rabi is a unique vegetable

the overgrown, woody specimens, so

table has the flavor of a cattliflower

"Look at this, Ma," said Mr.
Brown, handing his wife a cheque.
It was signed by the wife of a
prominent financier in the neighbor-
ing city, and had been given Mr.
Brown .in payment for the weekly
supply of butter which he had that
morning delivered to her. Mrs. Brown
almost gasped at the amount. From
their few cows, kept more for their
own use, and for fertilizer for their
land, they did not pretend to regard
the butter -money as an important ad-
dition, to their income. But when a
ten -pone jar of butter brought a
cheque -of more than six dollars this
sideline began to take on a more seri-
ous aspect.
"How much are we using for our-
selves' now, ma?" asked Mr. Brown.
"Better cut down all you can, eh?
Give the children bacon fat on their
bread. Used to love it when I was a
kid."
"But, Jim," said his wife, "we're
buying our bacon, neew that we've
given. up trying to cure it ourselves,
and it's awfully high, too."
"Well, then, give'em jam,"
"We haven't very much of that,
fruit was, so high last summer and
sugar scarce—but I'll see about but-
ter substitutes, I've been hearipg so
much about them." - -
Mrs. Brown wisely investigated be-
fore changing her children's lunches.
Fortunately she was a faithful read-
er of reliable farm and dairy papers,
and she -had no difficulty infinding
that while butter substitutes are
palatable, and apparently take the
place of butter, .b reality they do
not furnish a proportionate - amount
of nourishment per pound per price,
nor do they furnish thoselife and
growth -giving principles called vita-
mens.
Then this sensible mother found a
review of a .new book that she de-
terinined to read for herself, and so
she sent to the publishers, the Mac-
Milian. Book Company, Toronto, for
Dr. E. V. McCollum's' book, The New-
er 1Cnowledge of Nutrition, oMe of the
best books that I have read'on the
subject. Ih this book Di. McCollum
is very emphatic and clear on the .im-
portance of milk and :butter in the
diet of the human race, especially in
that of children and he has not only
contributed much to the future health
of humanity, but also to the fu'tare
development' of the dairy industry.
Everyone should read and study this
book, especially every mother..
To Keep Stove -Pipes Clean.
When green wood ,is substituted
for coal during the winter in the
household heater, there is on,e small
drawback. A deposit of a tar -like
substance will form on the 'heater
flues and stovepipes. This can easily
be removed if it is done by the right
methods. This is the right way:
Dissolve /air -slaked lime in water
until the water will take up no more.
Then apply it with a whitewash
brush to the inside of the heater flues
and smokepipe. Remove the smoke -
pipe and apply it .o the base of the
chimney. Put bac the pipe and
start a fire, The tar -like substance
will drop off the flues, or can easily
be scraped off.

"But, deands," began her husband
doubtfully, "you said yourself yes-
teaday that you forgot the salt in
the omelet, and the baking powder
in the cake, and—"
"Well, what of I did?" she conted-
ad'aggrievedly. "What's a little salt
of baking powdlee? 'Twasn't but a
pinch or spoonful, any . how; and I
remembered n11 the other things, Be-
sides, if those rules were any good
they'd' be worded so I couldn't forget
part of the things. And, anyhow, I
don't thinly it's very nice of you to
b -blame me all the time when I'm
doing the very best I can. I told you
I couldn't cook, but you• said you'd
like anything I made, because I did
it, and—" •
"Yes, yes, darling, and so Ido,"
Interrupted the remorseful husband,
hurriedly. And, to prove it, he ate
the last scrap of the unappetizing
concoction on -his plate, which his
wife said was a fish croquette. After-
wards .still furthet''.to show h,is re-
morse, he helped her wash the dishes
and set the moms in order, Then to
gether they went for a walk in the
moonlight.
It was a beautiful walk, and it
quite restored Iielen to good nature.
They went up 021 West Hill' (where
Helen particularly loved to go), and
they laid 'wonderful plans of how
one day they, too, would build a big
stone palace of a'"home up there—
though Burke did say that, for his
part, he liked Elm Hill quite as well;
but Helen laughed; him out of that
"old-ftashioned idea;." At least he
said no more about it.
They talked mucic of how ,proud
Burke's father wee going to be when
Burke had made good, and of how
ashamed and sorry he would be 'that
he had so misjudged his son's wife.
And Hele 1 uttered some very sweet
and beautiful eenlliments' concerning
her intention of laying up no malice,
her flrrl}, determination to be loving
and forgiving.
Then together they walked home i
the moonlight; and so thrilled and
exalted were they that even the
cheap' little Dale Street living -room
looked wonderfully dear. And Helen
meld that, -after all, love.was the only
thing that mattered—that they just
loved each other. And Burke said,
"Yes, yes, indeed."
The vision of the sweet, Clint -By
gowned wife and the perfect home
was very clear to Helen as 'she drop_
ped off to sleep that night; and she
was sure that she could begin to
realize it at once. But unfortunate-
ly she overslept the next morning—
whch was really Burke's fault, as she
said, for he forgot to wind the alarm
clock, and she was not used to getting
up at such an unearthly hour, any-
way, and she d1d not see why he had
to do it, for that natter—he was
reailly the son ,of the owner, even if
he was called an apprentice.
This did not help matters any, for
Burke never liked any reference to
his position at the Works. To be
sure, he did not say hush, this time,
except to observe stiffly that he
would like his breakfast, •1f she would
be so good as to get it—as if she
were not already hurrying as fast as
she could, and herself only half-
dressed at thee!
Of course the breakfast was a fail-
ure. Helen said that perhaps some
people could get a meal of victuals
on to the table, with a hungry man
eyeing their every more, but she
could not. Burke declared then that
he really did not want any breakfast
anyway, acid he started to go; but as
Helen only cried the more at this,
he had to come back and comfort her
—thereby, in the end, being both
breakfastless and late to his . work.
Edleii, after he had gone, . spent n
blissfully wretched telt minutes weep-
ing over the sad fate that should
doom such a. child of light and laugh-
ter as herself to the -somber role of
martyr wife, and'wondered if, after
all, it would note be really more im-
pressive and more soul-tortiering-
with-remorse for the cruel father-ln-
law, if she should take poison, or gas,
or something (not disfiguring), and
lay herself calmly down to die, her
beautiful hands crossed meekly upon
her bosom.
Attractive as was this picture in
some respects, At yet had its draw-
backs. Then, too, there was the
laurel wreath of praise due her later.
She hacl almost forgotten that. On
the whole, that would be preferable
to the poison, Helen decided, as she
began, with really cheerful alacrity,
to attack the messy breakfast dishes.
It was not alone the cooking that
troubled the young wife (luting that
first month of housekeeping Every-
where she found pitfalls for her un-
wary feet, from managing the kit-
chen range to keeping the Iiving
room dusted.
And there was the money..
Helen's idea of money, in her hap-
py, care -Free girlhood, had been that
it was one of the commit necessities
of life; and she accepted it as she did
the sunshine -something sIle was en-
titled to; something everybody had,
She learned the fallacy of this, of
coulse, when she attempted to earn
her own living; but in marrying the
son of the rich John Denby, she lind
expected to step back into the see -
shine, as it were, It was not easy
now to adjust herself to the change,
She cid not like the idea of asking
for every penny she spent, and it

he linvanablyr 'handed it over with a

occasion he had added a dismayed,
"But I hadn't any idea you could have

it made her feel very uneomfortable

he suppose it tools sone money to
.rbock up with things, when ons had-
n't a thing to begin with?
Helen had been on the point of
saying something of this sort to her
husband, simply as a -matter of self-
justification, when there unexpected-
ly came a most delightful solution
of her difficulty.
It was' the grocer who' pointed,the
way.
"Why don't you open an account
with us, Mrs. Denby?" he asked smil-
ingly, one day, in reply to her usual
excuse` that she could not buy some-
thing because she did not have the
money to pay for it.
"An account? What's that? That
wouldn't make me have any more
money, would it? Father was al-
ways talking about accounts—good
ones and bad ones. He kept a store,
you know. But I never knew what
they were, exactly. I never thought
of asking. I never had to pay any
attenton to money at home. What is
an account? flow can I get one?"
"Why, you give your orders as us-
ual, but let the payment go until the
end of the month,' smiled the grocer.
"We'll charge it—note it down, you
know—then send- the , bili to your
husband." -
"And I won't have to ask him fon
any money?"
Not to pay us. The man's lips
twitched a little.
"Oh,: that, would be justgrand,','
she sigheci,longingly. "I'd like that.
And it's something the way we're
buying our furniture, isn't it?—in-

ALL SUCCESSES PRODUCED BY
PIONEER ESTABLISHMENTS.
"Bristol Triplanes Are Famous War
Machines Converted Into Passenger -
Carriers For Commercial Use.
All the British aircraft successes of
the war, it is most interesting to ob-
serve, were produced by pioneer es-
tablishments; that is to say, by es-
tablishments engaged in airplane
work before 1912. One, of course, in-
cludes the Royal Aircraft factory,
which turnd 1 out the P.B. and the
5.10-5, None of tate numerous firms
that took up airplane making during
the war produced a single successful
type; most of them were entirely en-
gaged upon machines to Government
specification.
Among the leading successes were
the Bristol airplanes of the British
and Colonial Aeroplane Co., which be-
gan operations in 1910. The Bristol
Scout and the Bristol two-seater
fighter are famous war machines that
are invariably spoken of with en-
thusiasm in Royal Air Force circles.
The latest type brought out is a big
high-speed bomber, that came too late
for the war, and is now converted Into
a passenger -carrier. This machine,
having gone through exacting trials
extending over some weeks, was ex-
hibited at the works at Hilton, near
Bristol, on March 6th, to a number of
experts and journalists representing
the daily and weekly newspapers and
the technical press.
An Engineering Achievement.
What struck everyone present, even
those familiar with the excellence of
the workmanship put into Bristol ma-
chines, was the achievement, as an
engineering proposition, of this new
bus. It dicrnot need the expert eye to
appreciate•the immense strength and
the beautffull finish. The supporting
of the four 410 lt.p. Liberty motors on
the middle plane, strengthened there
by V struts, was highly approved, for
it is a satisfactory solution if a some.

four wheels under big V-shaped striae
very substantially sprung on steel
spring shock -absorbers.
Being a triplane, the necessary
large lifting surface is obtained with-

section, making a shall1ow ">.rrow"
form In plan -aspect.
The two rear propellors rotate in
the "slip stream" of the forward pro-
pellers. All are two -bladed, and the
normal rate is 1,750 revs. per minute.
The wing -area is 1906 square feet, and
the "loading" is 10 lbs. per B,H.P., and
8.66 lbs. per square foot of wing. The
lateral control is by ailerons on the
two top wing0„only.
The "Braemar MK2" (as it Is
scheduled) weighs (light) 10,060 lbs.,
or "all on" 18,500 lbs. Its comple-
ment is 14 passengers (beeides two
pilots), who are seated most comfort-
ably 1u a roomy, well -lit saloon rest-
ing on the bottom plane. The petrol
capacity is 450 gallons, which gives
abnut seven hours' flight at cruising
speed (about 100 miles perhour). The
machine, however, earn do 125 niles
per hour, and can climb to 5,000 feet
in 6 minutes, a really remarkable per-
formance, actually comparable to that
of a modern fighting scout. It can fly,
if need arise, with any two if the four
engines not running.
This machine is undoubtedly des-
tined to be one of the first passenger -
carrying regular service airplanes that
are to inaugurate the commercial fly•
ing age.
A smart boot which is a
great favorite with women
who prefer the long vamp

slender Spanish heel.
Choice of several grades and
varieties of leather.
"How o • Buy S•. es"
THERE are aany things which you need not buy
unless you choose. But footwear is not one of
them. You must have shoes. And the problem of
buying- shoes is one which comes home to every man
and every woman in Canada.
In order to help you solve this problem, we have prepared a booklet
with, the title given above. We believe that you will find it helpful
and interesting, whether you buy A.H.M. Shoes or not. And it is
not necessary to buy A.H.M. Shoes in order to profit by the
information which is contained in it.
We are glad to send a copy with our compliments to any address in
Canada. Please send your request to our Head Office, at Montreal.
