By "PEG" Recently' the world: was .stunned long afterwards the friend was killed in action and her son was reported missing. Many Mothers and Fathers are awaiting word of missing sons. They have the comfort at this par- ticular time that things are in such a -state of Chaos in. Germany that prisoners are not jbeing reported. Ifi you have sent your sons and daugh- ters, out to war with thefear and love of God in their hearts you have no need to worry for as this Mother said, "1 know wherever R is, whither in this world or the next he is safe in God's keeping." What a comforting assurance. Have we used our Motto. "Service." to try to lean others to Christ or have we been ashamed to let it be known that we are followers • of His. Are we wearing a un:forin? Yes, every ,one .of us is. We have either donned the uniform of the soldiers of Jesus Christ or of his satanic majesty—the devil. Under which are we serving?` We alone can answer that question. The late Dr. J. A. McDonald for- merly of the Globe once spoke to a graduating- class of Nurses. Al- though that is many years ago those who heard him will remember his message on the service of that par- ticular profession. He exemplified the news that Franklin Delano ooseveit, the president of our riendly neighbour to the South, bad ith practically no warning passed o the great Beyond, To the minds of many there came he .thuught, "What a catastrophe, ust `at this - particular time when us influence`was needed so badly;". hy-did God call ,him just now? That word why? seems to form uch a large part of our lives. We o not know why the call came so nddenly';but: we do know that God ad need of him or the angel of, eath would not have knocked at be door of that little white house here the President was resting pparently in, preparation for the onfereuce at " San Francisco. We an well imagine that the President ould have chosen that way to go ther than to be as an invalid for oaths or even years. He had known hat it was to suffer, for 39 years go at the early age of 24 he was ricken with that cruel disease antile paralysis. He was there - ter a very handicapped nista ' but uldanyone, but a man of his rung character have carried on e way he did and have risen to e position of Chief Executive of e United States and gone on to very strongly the service of love. eak all records and had entered That .service, no matter how handl - n his fourth term as President capped we may be we can give.

If they could only realise that there is a purpose in them not being able to get around like others, it would help them •greatly. God has some lesson. He wants them to Iearn through suffering, whether it be ill- ness of sorrow and when the last call conies and they see the plan of their lives how glad they will be that God took His own away to bring them into full fellowship with Him: If handicapped, did it ever occur to you to feel sorry for those who have to wait on you. There ave many instances where a mother has sacri- ficed her life to care for a child who has come into life maimed.

Hello Homemakers! Sunshine has prematurely warmed the earth and, urged the succulent asparagus sprouts to make an early. appear- ance this season. To enjoy asparagus 'to the ut- Most' you should eat it as fresh as possible, cooked only until it is tender. When you shop for aspara- gus, look for stalks that are firm and fresh , the tips should be tightly closed. The very green asparagus is a good source of Vitamin A. This is the kind that is most plentiful on the market. Green asparagus is a good source of iron and also contributes some vitamin 0.

Take A Tip When cooking asparagus: i If you break ratherthan cut the ands, the remaining portion will be entirely edible. Wash each stalk thoroughly to remove any grit. Tie asparagus in bunches and "An army can move only as fast as its supplies." That truth is well established. Engineers and infantry need artillery support. All need ammunition , .. food . and they need moral support - . proof that we, at home, are doing all we can to back them up. Attack wins objectives. Support wins Wars. And that is where we, on the home front, fit into the war programme. We must furnish support. We must buy more Victory Bonds. Bear in mind that part of the money which Victory Bonds provide is used to buy foods which Canadian farmers produce and which' is needed to feed our fighters and the fighting forces of our ' allies. Victory Bonds are a good investment .: the safest place that you can put your savings. You should buy them to have money for things you want to do when the war ends. (In case of emergency you ca¢ get cash for them.) All the money you invest in Victory Bonds comes back to you eventually. Mean- time your bonds earn 3% interest. Your banker will tell you it's good business, to put your savings into Victory Bonds. INVEST IN THE BEST° VIC1ORY 110 stand in a deep saucepan., Use enough boiling, water to come half way up the stalks. Cover and cook 15 mans. then tip bundles over and,. cook another 5 Mins.

Another interesting cure for a horse with. a sprained leg was "Take a stone from under a waterspout, put the horse's leg upon the stone and say 'I place ?ndself upon a hard stone, 2 have an .ailment of my leg bone which bauses me much pain: Be this pain black or white, grey or reps in less than three days it shall lte deadi."
