"BRITAIN'S STRONG DEFENCE"
Alone she stands, so strong and
grand, -
Undaunted, unafraid;
Though trusted Allies, all have fled,
Britain is undismayed.
What is this secret, hidden power,
That lends much grace and charm,
To Britain in this perilous hour
Of war and dread alarm?
'Tis faith •in God, eternal faith,
No power can ever break;
"Faith of our Fathers," Living Faith
That naught en Earth can shake.
And Britain's power shall never wane,
On land, on sea or air;
Her shield of faith can never drift,
Beyond God's love and care.
So small a sheath to hold so great
a blade,
So scant a shield to bear so great
a sign:
Britain! in this the darkest hour of
thine,
'Tis they who know thee best are
least afraid.

'Very often when the last flower is

Recipes
MAKING GRAPE JUICE
Hear are three recipes for making
grape juice which are recommended
by the Consumer Section, Marketing
Service. Dominion Department of
Agriculture. The first and second
recipes make a concentrated juice
which must be diluted before serving)
With the third method considerable
water is used and as a result the juice
is ready to serve after straining. In-
cidentally, more jars are required in
making grape juice this way, but the
flavour and colour of the juice is like
the fresh fruit. For variety sake, blue
green and red grapes maybe used to
make three different coloured juices.
Grape Juice (Method 1)
Wash and crush grapes. Heat slow-
ly either over low fire or in oven at
200 degrees F. for 10 -minutes. If
over fire, do not allow to boil. Drain
over night. To each cup juice add
1/s cup sugar. Boil until sugar is
dissolved. Pour into sterilized jars.
Partially seal and sterilize 5 minutes.
Grape Juice (Method 2)
(Without Sugar)
Crush grapes. Allow 1 pint water
to 8 quarts grapes. Place kettle in
the oven at 200 regrees F. or over
another kettle with boiling water for
15 minutes. Strain through a jelly
bag over night. Let juice stand 3
hours after bag is removed. Pour
juice carefully into sterilized jars,
being. careful not to stir up the sed-
iment. Partially seal. Sterilize 30
minutes -in water bath or 35 minutes
in the oven at 275 regrees • F'. Seal.
If sweet juice is desired, allow 1/4,
cup sugar to 1 cup juice. Bring to
boiling point to dissolve sugar and
proceelf as above.
In using the above methods a -see-
cond grade juice may be obtained by
adding a quarts water to drained
pulp, boiling slowly 20 minutes. Drip
and sterilize as for first extraction.
Grape Juice (Method 3)
1 quart grapes
1 cup sugar.'
Boiling water
Wash the grapes and remove them
from the stem. Fut them in clean,
hot, sterilized, one -quart jar. Add
sugar and boiling water to till the jar
to overflowing. Seal and store them
in cool place. The juice is ready to
use in three months.
Grape Jam
414cups (21/4 lbs.) prepared fruit
'7 cups (3 lbs.) sugar 1 bottle fruit
pectin.
To prepare fruit, slip skins from
about 3 pounds fully ripe grapes.
Simmer pulp, covered, 5 minutes.
Remove seeds by seiving. Chop or
grind skins and add to pulp. (Con-
cord grapes give best color and flav-
our. If wild grapes, Malagas, or
other tight -skinned grapes are used,
stem, crush, and simmer with 1/ cup
water 30 minutes. Sieve and meas-
ure, Use 4 cups prepared fruit and
add juice of 2 medium lemons).
Measure Sugar and prepared fruit
into large kettle, mix well and bring
to a full rolling boil over hottest
fire. Stir constantly before and
while boiling.' Boil hard 1 minute.
Remove from fire and stir in fruit
pectin. Pour quickly. Paraffinand
cover at once. Makes about 11 glass-
es (6 fluid ounces each.)

HEALTH
HEALTH
That the dentist is rapidly replac-
ing the beautician and the plastic
surgeon as the preventer and eradi-
cator of wrinkles and furrows, is the
statement of Dr. T. L. Marsh, writ-
ing in Health, the official organ of
the Health League of Canada. Such
disfigurements, he says, are as likely
to be the result of defective teeth as
they are of advancing age.
Dr. I4larbh also refutes the delusion
that a child's first teeth are of little
importance since they won't last long
On the contrary he asserts, they
should be looked' upon as the found-
ations for the permanent teeth. Un-
less they are maintained in the mouth
in healthy condition for the proper
length of time, he says, the lower two
thirds of the face fails to develop
fully and symmetrically and the
whole appearance of the face may be
spoiled.
More than this, he asserts,, dental
infections progress more rapidly in
the teeth of children than in those of
adults, and he recommends that
children's teeth should be examined
at least three times a year from three
years of age to adolesence.
Regarding the general care of the
teeth, Dr. Marsh urges thorough
mastication of fibrous foods such as
celery and raw apples. Gum tissues
need exeicise no less than muscles,
he states, and also the chewing of
fibrous foods is about the best way
Possible to polish those surfaces of
the teeth that lie toward the tongue,
Diet has mucic to do with the
health of the teeth, says Dr. Marsh.
At least a pint of milk a day should
be drunk, and meals should include
one egg a day, some fresh fruit and
vegetables, while sticky, starchy car-
bohydrates should be reduced to a
minimum. In winter months, when
sunbaths are impossible, cod-liver
oil should be taken in order to supply
the necessary vitamin D.
Starchy foods, says Dr. Marsh is
likely to form pasty masses in parts
of the teeth which are hard to clean,
and this in turn serves to accelerate
dental decay.
Neglected teeth are the source of
deep-seated trouble, Dr. Marsh warns

This picture is better because It has a natural "center of interest"—the
girl's face. When you have two or more subjects in a picture, make one
more prominent than the others.
r'rWO people often yield -a better
J- picture than just one—especial-
ly in the summer time, when lots
of young romances are budding.
However, to make these pictures
most effective, there are a few
points you want to keep in mind.
The first point is to make one of
your subjects more prominent than
the other. This keeps the intertest
from being divided, and it's easy
to do.
Just have one of the subjects do-
ing something, while the other
watches. Then the attention will
naturally go to the subject who is
most active.
An interesting example of this
is shown in the picture above. The
girl, dribbling sand from her hand,
attracts your eye nest. Then, when
your glance strays to the boy's
face, you are immediately turned
back to the. girl's face, because he
is looking in that direction.
There are some other good, in-
structive points in this picture.
You will notice that the girl's head
Is somewhat higher in the picture
apace than the boy's head; also
her face is more brightly lighted
by the sun, while his face is most-
ly in shadow. All these help to
make the girl the center of interest.
Every picture should have such
a center of interest. No doubt you
remember seeing group pictures,
such as a picture of a graduating
class, in which each face was as
prominent- as the others. Pictures
of that type are of course very
useful as records, but they do not
have the pictorial charm of an in-
formal
nformal arrangement—because the
"center of interest" is lacking.
Naturally, when you're picturing
a couple, or a larger group, you do
not want to slight anyone. How-
ever.,• for beat effect, you should
make one more prominent than
the others. Sometimes just a turn
of the subject's head, or a slight
change of your own position, will
do it. And it's a valuable point to
remember, because you'll be tak-
ing' lots of these pictures during
the summer—they're the type of
Snapshot that adds interest to your,
album. -
