TO KEEP BUSY ANTS
FROM INVADING

Although the majority of the Vona-
than species of ants' live. In Colonies

and annoyance by invading kitchens
and pantries in search' of food. One
of the most common and troublesome
household species, known as the red
ant or Pharaoh's Ant, confines itself
entirely to heated'buildings such as
bakeries, restaurants; and houses.
This tiny, reddish-yellow ant had its
origin in the ,tropics. The common
large carpenter ant, although nor-
molly an outdoor •species ' nesting
principally in decaying wood, fro-
quently occurs in dwellings, chiefly
frame houses and summer cottages,
and may cause injury to woodwork
as well as annoyance by its presence.
A third common sliecies is the small
yellowish -brown lawn ant which nests
in lawns and gardens, often entering
houses in search of food,
The most satisfactory material so
far discovered for destroying ants isThe
sodium fluoride? sold by druggists in
the form of a fine white powder. This
Powder should be scattered or dusted
lightly in places frequented by the
ants and left undisturbed until the
insects have disappeared, As sodium
fluoride is somewhat poisonous, care
should be taken to prevent children
or pets from . gaining access to it.
Ants may be discouraged Froin en-
tering houses by keeping shelves; ta-
blas, and floors in kitchens and pan-
as free as possible front crumbs

tamers. Further information on the
control of ants is given in a mimeo-

DIABETES
The human machine is a sort
furnace. Human beings are the sto-:
kers. Food is the fuel.
Sometimes the wrong fuel or
excess of fuel is used, Certain dis-
eases result from the mis-use of the
fuel or of using some of the fuel
excess. Sometimes the machine breaks
down and cannot burn even the nest
of fuel.
Diabetes is a disease in which there
is improper burning of the fuel sup-
plied as food.
In addition to water, foods are
three, classes: the proteins, such
lean meat and the white of a fats,
egg;
such as exist in 'butter, cream, nuts,
yolk of egg and the fat of. meat; car-
bohydrates, including starches and
sugars. The latter are found
bread and cereals, in vegetables, such
as potatoes and corn, and •in fruits,

there is improper burning of the food,
One of the diseases of disordered met-
abolism is known as diabetes.
There is a small organ in the abda-
men called the pancreas, the chief
function of which is to secrete a sub-
stance known as insulin. If insulin
be deficient in amount, little of
starches and sugars can be burned:
Insulin seems to be necessary to

carbohydrates are not burned, they

' BUTTER MAKES A
DIFFERENCE
What is it that makes one cake or
batch of cookies taste ire much bet
ter than another? True, every in-
gradient affects the finished product
but it- is the shortening that makes
the marked difference in palatability..
flavoured shortenings give a
pronounced, usually objectionable,
taste to cakes and cookies, while on
the other hand; flavour is lacking in
baked goods made with a tasteless or
verymild type of shortening, With-
out taking into consideration its nu-
tritional superiority, due to vitamin
y`
content, the distinctive, inimitable fla-
your of butter justifies its general
use for highest quality -baking. `
The Milk Utilization Service, Dairy
' Branch, Dominion Department of
Agriculture in recommending the fol-
lowingrecipes for "butter" cakes
and cookies, draws attention to the
fact that butter is very easily and
quickly creamed if left in room tam-

When from the leaves there fell s

In fragments, on the floor.

To lay them by with care

With roses in her hair.

Of charm and id of rare

With smiling lips and love -lit eyes -
And roses in her hair.

There's another book about two
English persons who left their native
land to go farming—to Canada. Like
the other book, it made its first ap-
Baran this year. Its title is
With the West in her Eyes". The
author is a woman—the wife—Kath-
leen Strange. You probably have read
aboixt her and her book, which won
for her a prize of $1000. Mrs. Strange
was city -bred. Like Mrs, Simpson she
knew, nothingabout farming —
though her husband did; for before
the war he had been manager of agrees
sugar estate in Honolulu, These two
people settled in Alberta. Their first
home was a shack. Mrs. Strange did
not know how to keep house or to
cook. But she learned. Her husband
became a famous grower of seed „
grains, and won prizes in U. S. A.
grain shows. He became wealthy —
or near wealthy. In the end he was
offered a salaried job in Winnipeg—en
an agricultural post
This narrative of Mrs. Strange's is
a tale of crude conditions overcome,
of success built on success. It it true
that there were bad years and trials,
but steadilythere was an emergence
from the hard life of pioneer condi-
plenty.

This book is a fiadvertisement
for Western Canada. And when it is
placed along side the Kenya boo, it
