We have a11, perhaps, known fam-

they know how to pussyfoot around

play happily with any children but
their own brothers and sisters, with

some families grow -up with this habit
of irritability sod keep it up through

Meats Well -Cooked and Well -Served Means
Family Well Nourished
During the colder weather the meat
dish at noon or evening dinner -is an
important one. Many housekeepers
feel that meat costs too much and
that they should out down on that ex-
penditure, but the careful housewife,
she who is not only careful, of her
budget expenditure but sof the needs
of her family, will see that they have
their full share ofthis body-building
food. She will choose the cheaper
cuts of meat and cook then, so appe-
tizingly that the aforesaid family
will not know whether it is eating a
chuck or a sirloin roast.
and tonsils. A host of others cannot
do good mental work because of thea:
neglect of the ordinary simple rules
of hygenic living.
Sleep, fresh air, exercise, a balan-
ced diet and regular elimination are
essential to the health of body and
mind. You cannot increase your in-
telligence simply by living hygien-
ically, but through such living, you
are able to make better use of the
intelligence which you have.
The relationship between mind and
body works both ways. Good diges-
tion depends upon freedom from wor-
ry and emotional upsets just as much
as upon the proper selection of food.
Illness causes a person to be irrit-
able, and irritability brings about
physical upsets.
From these remarks, it will be evi-
dent
vident that child training, if it is to
bo successful, must be an all-round
approach to the whale child, physi-
cally and mentally. It follows that
education, which will prepare a child
for life, is not so much training to
earn a living, but rather training to
live. It is rieecssary to earn a liv-
ing, but that is not the whole of life,
and we will succeed better at earning
our living if we put into practice our
knowledge as to how to live so as to
have healthy minds and bodies for
work and play.

A Nice Muton Dish
The following is a. good recipe
for mutton birds: Make a stuffing of
bread crumbs seasoned with butter,
salt, pepper, sage and summer sav-
ory. Mix to a smooth .paste with
beaten egg. Spread mixture on thin
slices of raw mutton (leg or loin),
roll up and fasten with a toothpick.
Brown in butter, then add a little hot
water and finish cooking in the ov-
en, basting frequently. Thicken the
gravy with browned flour and serve
in casserole, keeping very hot.
Pot Roasting
In pot roasting the beef is seared
on top of the stove and then cooked
in a covered dish, either on top of
the stove or in the oven. A. heavy
aluminum utensil is preferable for
pot roasting as it retains the heat and
the beef is not so liable to scorch.
The beef is first seared in a little fat,
o
and just enough hot water r a
dded to
keep it from burning. It is then
cooked at a temperature of about 225
If., which is lower than the tempera-
ture used for ordinary roasting, and
slightly higher than used for brais-
ing. Pot roasting is really a form of
braising applied to a large piece of
meat.

Bra'sing
Braising is a combination of stew-
ing and.baking, and is similar to pot
roasting, the distinction being that
the beef is usually cut up into small
pieces instead of being cooked in one
piece, as in pot roasting, and less liq-
uid is used than in the case of a stew.
The beef is first seared, as in pot
roasting, and then cooked slowly in a
covered dish, allowing about three-
quarters of an hour to each pound.
An oven temperature of about 176
degrees F. is desirable, Vegetables
and seasoning may be added as de-
sired in sufficient time to provide for
their cooking by the timethe meat is
done. The covered pans sold as
roasting pans are really braising
pans. Covered casseroles are also
excellent for this purpose.
Boiling
The term "boiling" as applied to
the cooking of meats is misleading
and its literal application is largely
responsible for the fact that meat
000ked in water is not more popular,
Boiling beef for the full cooking per-
iod hardens the albumen all the ways
through, and makes the meat much
less palatable and digestible,
Beef cooked by this method should
be kept at the boiling point for the
first few minutes only ---just Iong -e-
nough to coagulate the albumen on
the outside, and prevent the water
from penetrating and making the
meat dry and tasteless. For the bal-
ance of the cooking period it should
be kept at the simmering point—a-
bout 180 degrees F. Tho brisket,
rump, plate and shoulder cuts are all
used for boiling. If to be used cold,
cool in the liquid in which it is cook-
ed. This will make the meat more
juicy. The liquid is an excellent soup
stock, which ,can be used clear or
have vegetables, noodles or other
thickening added.

Softly along the road of evening,
In a twilight dim with rose,
Wrinkled with age, and drenched
with dew,
Old Nod, the shepherd, goes.
His drowsy flock streams on before
him,
Their fleeces charged with gold,
To where the sun's last beam leans
' low
On Nod the shepherd's fold.
The hedge is quick and green with
briar,
From their sand the conies creep;
And all the birds that fly in heaven
Flock singing home to sleep.
His lambs outnumber a noon's roses,
Yet, when night's shadows,fall,
His blind old sheep -dog, Slumber -

Misses not one of all.
His are the quiet steeps of dream-

The waters of no -more -pain,
His ram's bell rings 'neath an arch

A CAUTIOUS LASSIE
There is in Sydney, Nova Scotia, a
unique record in marital affairs. It
is a quit claim deed to a man's af-
fections and is duly entered into with
legal formality. It seems that a
young blood of ,Sydney. was paying
attention to a young laky and after
paying court to her decided that he
preferred hersister but before the.
sister would consent to marry she
demanded and obtained a quit ,claim
deed from her sister to the effect
interf •re i
that she would not . a nany
way with her future husband nor ex-
ercise any undue influence on his
affections by reason of their former
association. The record forms par,
of those ' of St. George's Anglican
Church in Sydney, which was built
around 1785 as a garrison church
and contains a genuine Chippendale
chair which came from Nelson's cab-
in when his ship visited there with

"Adds Flavour and Character
to Alt Foods Baked With It!"
"Five. Roses does everything a flour should do — mists
smoothly, rises evenly, gives a nice golden brown sur-
face to bread and cake and a tender white crumb, and it
adds flavour and character to all foods baked with it,"
Mrs. Dan Anger, Perth County Cake Champion in the
Five Roses Baking Contest told us ... with 30 years
experience in the use of Five Roses to back her opinion.
And Miss Emma Buttery, Perth County Bread Cham-
pion, thinks Five Roses is the best, among the many
flours on the market. "Certainly it is the only one I have
usedover a long period with never a failure, and depend-
able quality means a great deal," she explained. "No one
likes to waste either time or money on1 poor results."
"Five Roses is economical in another way as well,"
Miss Buttery pointed our, "for it gives !note loaves per
bag, and more cakes and pastry too, than softer flours.
Andfoods made with it don't dry out as quickly, so that
you're not faced with `left -over' problems."
Mrs. Frank Vidier, Norfolk County Bread Champi"n,
began using Five Roses only a few months ago, but she
says she has been delighted with results, for "it gives such
excellent flavour,lightness and tenderness to everything!"
