would not allow that. He made me
promise not to do that. Then, as he
grew stronger, and the doctor told us
that perhaps an ocean voyage would

Means Found to Utlllee Objectionable
Vegetation in Panama Canal,
The prevalence of water lettuce and
water cabbage .on the surface of the
Panama Canal channel through Gatun
Lake has created a serious problem
because these floating plants become
entangled in the ship propellors and
lock machinery. It appears, also, that
mosquito larvae sometimes escape be-
ing suffocated by the crude oil pour-
ed on the water by lodging in the
roots of these plants and breathing
through them. Analysis shows that
this vegetation contains about five per
cent, potash, and as this substance is
much needed to fertilize local planta-
tions, it is proposed to make use of
these growthe, which heretofore have
been thought an unmitigated nuisance.

EVERY LITTLE M
When you are asked to have a beef- I
less meal each day and cut down your
allowance of sugar to one lump for
a cup of tea or coffee you scarcely
realize what it means. When you
are asked to eat fish instead of beef
and substitutes for wheat it looks al-
most like trifling with a big subject.
The average man's idea, if you are
going to save in a big way, is to cut
out everything you don't want him to
eat. Canada's Food Controller start-
ed out with the idea of educating the
people to save, not to do without alto-
gether, and there is vast difference in
the principle. You can only judge of
the results of saving by waiting for
a period and adding up your savings.
The wealth of the French nation be-
fore the war largely consisted in the
savings the people deposited in their
banks, which aggregated a huge
amount. It was out of these small
savings that the huge indemnity after
the Frenco-Prussian war was paid.
Calculations en the basis of returns
actually received show that the say -

Ings in December_iu the United States
were for meats 22,733,000 pounds,
and these had increased in January to
24,418,000 pounds. In wheat flour
the saving was 9,089,000 pounds which
in January had increased to 12,790,000
pounds, The U.S. Food Administra-
tion believes that the saving of wheat
flour during the month of February
amounted to considerably over 16,000,-
000 pounds. Multiply these figures
by twelve and you get a fairly good
idea what was saved to be sent to the
Allies; and how many soldiers were
fed on account of it. And nobody in
the United States suffered from it,
The same is true of Canada. From
returns so far as they have been re-
ceived show in public eating houses
savings from 25 to 60 per cent. The
use of fish has increased considerably
over 100 per cent. That means that
an equivalent in beef and pork was
sent; overseas. The moral is never
mind what your neighbor does, do it
yourself, If you have to come to
rationing it will be time enough to
call your neighbor to account,
Keep Household Accounts.
Since the cost of living has advanc-
ed so rapidly in the last few years,
much attention has been paid to re-
ducing certain items of expenditure.
Such efforts are more or less futile
unless we are able to draw deductions
to aid us in the future.
T believe every housewife should
keep accounts. She should knew just
what is spent each month for food pro-
ducts. The budget is a practical
means of reducing expense.
There is a great advantage in mar-
keting in person, and there is nothing
more important than the utilizing of
the leftovers in planning the meals
for the day. Ia goes without saying
that the selection of foods that give
the greatest nutritive value for the
least outlay is a step in the direction
of economy.
The' average housewife will reduce
expenditures by keeping accounts each
month of amounts spent for various
food products. By comparing ac -
coolie for several months it will be
possible to obtain the average amount
spent for groceries.
This tends toward the keeping of
budgets, and is the means of regulat-
ing family expenditures, as opposed
to the haphazard methods of the past.
It is possible to find what feed pro-
ducts are most expensive and make
some definite plan to lessen the ex-
pense.
Since heat makes up a large part
oe the ordinary family diet, any
economy in the purchase of it will
matte a noticeable reduction in the
food bIld, By using meat substitutes
which are less expensive, but as nu
tritioue, the amount paid for meat is
greatly reduced.

furallsl th4 Xeye efir"y food x'eciuiire•
-
ment, Nut loaf is also an excellent
substitute for meat, since it adds
variety to the dict and is rich in pro-
tein.
I find a great advantage to market
in person. The housewife may see
the foods before purchasing them. In
this way it is possible to get the best
that is offered for the price.
I always weigh articles that are
sold by weight. In case the grocer
gives short weight it should be die -
covered, Although the difference
may be small, in a year's time it
counts up, and the housewife has paid
a certain per cent. of her allowance
without any return.
Turn Food Waste into Eggs.
Should all the worthless cabs and
dogs now consuming table scraps and
more valuable food in several thou-
sand Canadian homes—and farms as
well es towns and cities are overrun
with such uneconomic canines and
felines—be replaced by a 'hall' -dozen.
laying hens for each dog and cat de-
's±r•oyed, there could be added to our
food supply millions of dozen of eggs
annually, replacing meat needed for
overssus. This replacement could be
made with little cost, as the expense
of dog licenses, collars, chains, ken-
nels, and the like would practically
offset the forst cost; of the hens.
It is only fair to say that there are
some ,dogs and eats that are worbh

uncounted multitudes of roaming, flea-

Sir Willie= Goode, Secretary of the .

"Few people have yet grasped the

1 Deviees„to Prevent Injuries to Ear
Parts by Detonations:
The relative etliueney of various de-
ivices for preventing injuries to the
ear parts by detonations was tested
!on guinea -pigs by Guild. Eight pre-
ventives have been used 'in the work
to date: 1. The -scientific ear drum
protector, Tommy," consisting of a
{ hollow soft rubber spherical bulb with
an opening on one side surrounded by
a flange. 2. A device invented by Dr.
1. Gordon Wilson and Professor A. A.
Michelson, consisting of a hollow
framework of bard rubber in which
is supported a valve of light, metal so
arranged as to stay open ;and permit
ordinary sounds to pass at the edges,
but so adjusted that detonation waves
can cause it to shut by moving inward
and foraging contact with what may
be called the valve seat. The Elliott
"perfect ear protector." 4. The "Mal -
lock -Armstrong ear defender," 5.
Wax cones which Guild made after the
description given by Rho as havi;ig

Dry cotton placed firmly. 7.'Cotlon
saturated with glycerin, carefully
kneaded to drive out all the air bub-
bles. 8. Cotton saturated with petro-
leum, carefully worked in until a uni-
form mass was obtained. I1r the first
group Guild places the "Tommy" and
the Mallock-Armstrong devices. There
is nothing simpler to keep clean than
"Tommy" and for army use it seems
the best of those tested. The wax
cone of the Italian navy type eomee
next in order, followed closely' by cot-
ton soaked with petrolatum. Cotton
soaked with glycerin did not protect•.
quite so well as that saturated with'
petrolatum; the explanabion probably
lies in tlae greater viscosity of the
petrolatum. The Elliott perfect ear
protector and the Wilson -Michelson
device rank together with dry cotton
as having been given the least protec-
tion to the middle ear parts of the and-
mals used. With all time preventive
measures every animal showed posi-
tive injuries, and one out of each
group of three animals bad a ruptur-
ed tympanic membrane. Of the giro-
chanical devices the Elliott reduces
