A bet-. ter method is to crush the grapes, add 1 pint of water for each 8 quarts of grapes, and place the kettle contain ing them over a second kettle contain- ing boiling water or in a slow oven (200 degrees F.). The grapes are thus steamed, instead of stewed, un- til tender; their juice is extracted. in, the usual way, by pouring the cooked fruit into a jelly bag and allowing it to Stip - over -night, Holding• t h e strained grape juice oversnight in this way permits it to settle, Pour the clear juice into'glass fruit jars, adjust rubbers and cover and set on a rack in a covered bailer or kettle or en the shelf of a steam cooker. If a boiler or a kettleisused, add water until it comes up about one inch over: the tops of the bottles. Bring the water gradually to the boiling point and boil for 30 minutes. Then seal the jars and store in a eool, dry place. • No sugar need be used in making grape juice; it will keep satisfactorily without sugar. If sugar is desired, add it to the juice before pouring into the container, using one-quarter cup- ful to each quart of juice. A second-grade grape juice may be made by returning to the preserving kettle the pulp left after the juice has dripped from it, cover it with water, heat gradually and allow it to cook for 20 minutes. Proceed as with the first extraction. ' The pulp may be extracted for juice a third and a fourth time. The yield of each successive extraction is smal- ler and more dilute than the proceed- ing. If the second, third, and fourth extracts are mixed, a very pleasing juice results. A NEtLTN SERVICE OP THE CANADIAN' MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND, LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN C'CNADA INDIGESTION Indigestion is a much -abused term and has no definite meaning. It is '41 word in general use to describe any uncomfortable feeling which the suf- ferer attributes to the stomach or' some other part of the digestive sys- tem, : The true condition may be an "ulcer at the stomach, inflammation gof the gall -bladder, chronic constipa- tion, chronic appendicitis, or some one or other of the many conditions "whieh cause what ispopularlyknew. as indigestion.

National Cheese Week Tha ksgiving "In everything give thanks: for this is the Will of God in•Jesus Christ con- cerning you. (1 Thess, 5:18). Once more, sustained by the Grace of God we have been permitted to see Thanksgiving Day. It is well that we live in a country whose government sees fit to proclaim a day of general„Thanksgiving. So many times the day is spent, not in heart thanksgiving, ,but as a day -of pleasure. We know that 'God is not pleased with anything but sincerity. Thanksgiving Day should .really just be a climax to all the days 61 the year, for every day should be a Thanksgiving Day, just as every day should be a Mother's Day. As we look back over the past year, all days have not been happy. The sun has set many times, and we have felt that we . could not look far into the future. Into some of our lives have conte incidents, which on this Thanksgiving Day have made us think "Can.I be thankful to -day?” The past year has brought to many homes serious illness, the angel' of death has taken a loved one, a son or daughter has chosen a path which leads to destruction. We have pray- ed prayers which as far as we could see have not been answered. Gan we be thankful for these things? If we cannot just see our way to thank God for these calamities, as we call them, we can thank Hint, that He is part of om' life and at the close of our earthly day, though "we see through a glass darkly now, we will then see Him face to face", and all these things will be explained. The hardships in our lives are the exception. There is so pinch else for which we have reason to be thankful. The habit of. continually giving thanks is a wise one, for it keeps us constantly in eommunion with God. ". Let us tate time each,,,day tet steal away to our sanctuary and be thank- ful unto God who has given us Jesus Christ, the means of our Salvation. Tradition tells us that several thou - stand years before Christ, an_Arab herdsman went forth one day as usu- al to the tendance of his flocks, car- rying with him by, way of lunch a bag of dates and a skin bottle made from the stomach of a calf, filled with milk. When the time came for his noon -tide meal and rest, he opened his primitive milk container in order to drink, but to his amazement, instead of the milk with which. be had filled it at dawn, there trickled forth only a clear, wat- cry fluid. Startled, he slashed open. the skin bottle to explore what had happened inside, and saw iinmediately that a cream -white, semi-solid, lumpy mass had formed. Curiosity prompt- ed him to taste this, and tasting he found it good. Relating bis experi- ence on- his return to the camp at the end of the day, his tribe from that tine forward, often experimented' with pant of their milk -supply, and this, if credence may be placed in an ageold tradition, was the beginning•, of CHEESE/se a popular and constant element of the ever-changing ,and at all tines variable diet of mankind. The making of this first "milk - product" tntdoubtedly spread to other lhltds during those sparsely chronic- led\early rg^s *hi h followed, and ycl all down through the later history and changes of the world, it has corttin ,ued as a staple article of . food; sl, - though mrepared in widely differing ways - until today, when there is probably iso garner of the world which does not include some form of cheese among its hest known and most popu- lar national foods. A noise of special' interest to us in Canada may nerhars be ;n roducei" at this point. It is this: That the first cows were brought to Canada in 1608 by Sa.muelde. Champlain in his early swallowing of air as a result of gulping of food. In such cased, the tigtble will be corrected by establishL. ing proper eating habits. If there is inflammation or ulceration of some part of the digestive system this, of course, ireeumes suitable treatment,. and constipation is dealt with by re- gulation of diet and'habits, not by drugs. "For all things, beautiful, and good and true; For things that seemed not good, yet tm'ned to good; For all the sweet compulsions of Thy Will, That chastened, tried and wrought us to Thy shape; For things unnumbered that we take of right, And valve first when they are with- held; For .light and air: sweet sense of sound and smell; For ears to hear the heavenly har- monies; For eyes to see the unseen in the seen; For vision of the worker in the work; For hearts to apprehend Thee every- where:— We thank Thee Lord." efforts at colonization, and the French inhabitants of Acadia brought with them the knowledge and ability to make butter and cheese for their own requirements. The United Empire Loyalists from the United States started cheese snaking in Ontario in 1782. This cheese was also originally used domestically, and not as an ar- ticle of commerce—and yet, looking at present day figures far commodi- ties exported, we find that this same cheese has now earned a foremost place among important Canadian ex- ports, An extract from a booklet entitled, "About Milk," recently published in England, and written by a Professor of Public Health and Hygiene may be quoted here, which reads as follows: Cheese is composed of all the sal - ids of milk, except the sugar, A few chops of a feiglient, called rennet, is able to curdle and thicken. a large quantity of milk in a stunt time . 1' Cheese is really at concentrated form of milk, for 1 pound of cheese is pro - deiced from 1 gallon (about' 10 lbs.) of -milk. It is thus specially rich in fat and protein: Old cheese is 'very dinestiible. preferaaly it should be three or four months old before being eaten. Further,+it is one of the, most concentrated foods known, and con- tains a great deal of nourishment, in fact them is neatly as much food va- lue in one pound of cheese as there is in twinpounds of meat." And now a few words as to the va- lue of cheese as an article of diet There is no doubt that cheese is both palatable and attractive to moat Deo - ole. It is capable of many adaptions in its Ilse 'as a meal-ineredient. It contains a great store Of energy pro- ducing units, and is an economical source of protein. Its low cost puts a highly nutritive food well within reach COOKING CARE OF CHILDREN Making Head Cheese and Farm Sausages Farm sausage is usually made from trimmings 'when the carcass of the. animal is cut up for curing. The trimmings are cut into conVenjent strips as pieces, and,groundot•, finelychopped, • the' lean and the fat being Mixed ' in about equal proportions. Salt( pepper, and sage or allspice are used for preserving and flavour- ing. Thirty pounds of sausage meat requires one-half pound table salt, 2 ounces of pepper, and one to two. ounces of sage if the sausage is for immediate use. Far long keeping, one and a half to two ounces of all- spice are used instead of the sage. These ingredients are mixed dry and thoroughly incorporated with' the sausage meat. When sausage meat is intended to be kept, it is firmly peeked into clean crocks. Another favourite dish, head cheese, is made . from meat taken from the head, feet, and other trim- mings not used in making sausages. In preparing the meat, it is impor- tant that it be thoroughly cleaned and all tnmecessary particles remov- ed. The meat particles to be used are boiled until the bones separate readily, and then the meat removed from the kettle and cooled to permit of being chopped up finely as for sausage. For seasoning, three oun- ces of salt, one ounce of pepper, one ounce of allspice, and a quarter ounce of nutmeg may be used for 10 pounds of neat. Sufficient of the liquid should be poured over the chopped meat to make a fairly thick consistency, the mass being then brought to a' boil and poured directly into wet moulds. With regard to the home curing of pork, there are two -methods, the "dry salt" and the "Urine cure" process. Compton salt in both methods is the curing agent, but other ingredients, Such as sugar, saltpetre, and baking soda, are sometimes used with it. The old-fashioned brown sugar is prefer- red to the white ,granulated kind as it is believed to give a slightly better flavour to the meat, Baking soda is used principally in the brine cure. Full details of the various processes and the storing and smoking of meat may be found in the circular "T he Home Curing of Pork" which may be obtained free on, request from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Do- minion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, of every housewife, no matter how slender the Nurse may be. Cheese should be used often, in com- bination withtother foods, as the train dish of a meal, and whenever utilized in this way, other protein foods should be reduced to a minimum. Because cheese is so rich in protein, it should be combined with carbohydrates or starchy foods. These, with the addi- tion of the leafy arid root vegetables, and almost all fruits, are an excellent combination for the maintenance of a reasonable and well-balanced diet. Canadians have a particulr inter• est in. • the cheese industry. There are over 316,000 farmers in Canada pro- ducing '.ilk for market. Cheese util- izes 7 per cent of this production. 17 per cent of our total population is di- rectly dependent on the Dairy Indus- try for a Iiving. The value of their production is approximately $200,000,- 000,00 per. annum. How To Hang Pictures There are a great many different ideas on the subject of hanging pic- turos. Some say they should' step, while others favour block formation. Some say they should hang in pairs and there are those who claim that one picture should not be placed close enough to detract attention from an- other. The theory of hanging them so that the eye strikes the middle of the picture as you stand in front of it is atime worn tradition, but, of course, this varies with the person Who 'hangs the picture. The impor- tant thing to keep inmind in the hanging: of wall decorations is bal- ance. Walls, may be redecorated to form a: suitable background for pictures with funds obtained through the Dominion Government Hoene Im- provement Plan. mprovement'Plan.

A FARMER'S LIFE , Down on the farm, 'bout half past four, I slip on niy pants and sneak out the door, Out of the yard I run like the dickens, To milk the cows and feed the chic- kens. Clean out the barn, curry Nancy and Jiggs, Separate the cream and slop all the pigs, Work two hours, then mat like a Ttrlc, And, by heck, I'm ready for a full day's work. Then T grease the wagon and put on the rack, Throw a jug of water in an old grain sack, Hitch up the horses, hustle down the lane, Must get the hay in for it looks like rain. Look over yonder! Sure as I'm born, Cattle on the rampage, and cows in the corn! Start across the medder, run a mile or two, Heaving like I'm wind broke, get wet clear through. Get back to the horses, then for re- compense Nancy gets a -straddle the barbed- wire fence, Joints all a -aching and muscles in a jerk, I'n fit as a fiddle for a full day's work. Work all summer till winter is nigh, Then figure up the books and heave a big sigh. Worked all year, didn't make a thing; Got less cash now than I had 'last spring. When spa'ing rolls 'round. I take an- other chance, While the fringe grows longer on my old gray pants. Give my spenders a hitch, my belt another jerk, And, by heck, I'm ready for a full year's work. •—C. VanHavere, VETERAN The old man sits, bareheaded in the sun, A battered hat beneath hint on the amass, And watches, lazily, the people pass. The limping hours drag slowly, one by one, Now it is four, and children home- ward bound Run by and wave at hit'; they know him well As one who has, a thousand tales to tell Of ships and battles, treasure lost and found. By five the ancient pipe he puffs is cold; The gentle sun takes on a tinge of gold. His eyes are closed, his thoughts have wandered far, And head on chest, he dozes in the light, To dreamt again that magic moonlit night The British marched through sleeping Kandahar. —Herbert, C.
