"I wonder," mused Monte. "1 can't
imagine myself, for nsanert living
twelve months in the year In New
York and he enthusiastic about it."
"What do you do when you're
there?" inquired Peter,
"Not name) of anything," admitted
Monte.
"Then you're no mere in New York
when you're there than in Jericho,"
answered Peter. "You've got to get
into the game really to live in New
York. You've got to work and be

You're married, are you not, Coving-

"Eli?"
"Didn't Beatrice tell me you regis-

Monte moistened his lips.
"Yes—she was here for a day. She

"That's too bad. I hope we'll have
an opportunity to meet her before we
leave,"
"Thanks."
"She ought to help you under-

t:;cls. Now, do you know that often
• There are few women who really
enjoy cleaning windows, and one rea-
son must be that the result is so often
disappointing. Soap always seems
to smear the glass, and tie cloth gets
too drippy and countless things hap-
pen. But one housewife, has thought
about it hard and has decided just
what is the best method of cleaning
her windows. She sent us her deci-
441011, and here it is:
"I have found a way," she says, "to
polish windows brilliantly with the
least possible work. I can clean then
whether tho sun is shining or not, so
infallible is my method. First wipe
▪ off the dust with a dry cloth, or if
1' very dirty, with a damp one, then put
a small quantity of water in a basis
4' and make it very strong with house-
hold ammonia, using not more than
• two parts of water to one of ammonia.
Dip a small cloth or sponge in this
q and wring it nearly dry, then go over

rapidly. Wipe immediately with a

you chip the enamel off the aaueepan,
sometimes Into the food, and you have
to pick it out; then again, oftener you
fail to see the damage you have done
until when washing the pots and
pans, you find a spot where you have
chipped off the enamel. Now, if you
have a broken spot in the bottom of
your saucepan and you are stirring
the food that is cooking in this pot,
using a metal spoon to stir with, you
are grating off the glass coating on
the enamel saucepan into your food.
Think about this, and then use wood-
en spoons for stirring all foods while
cooking in all saucepans.
These wooden spoons need not bel
costly, and any ]randy man around the
house can whittle a couple of paddles
for you from any piece of hardwood,
preferably maple or ash, in a very few
minutes. Learn to use the fireless
cooker for cereals and breakfast foods
and also for cooking the cheaper cubs
of meat. Meat cooked in the fireless
cooker loses proportionately less per
pound than meat cooked upon the coal,
gas or electric ranges.
Use all left -over breakfast cereals in
making bread.
A word about the refrigerator.
Upon this important household uten-
sil depends the health of the family.
The ice compartment should be suffici-
ently large to keep a piece of ice that
will keep the food compartments at a
temperature of not less than 50 de-
grees Fahrenheit constantly. A
thorough cleansing three times a week
is an absolute necessity. Remove
the drain pipe and flush and swab out
the trap. This is very important, Dol
not place the refrigerator in a dark,1
damp place.
Do not permit the drain to be con-;
nected with the sewer. If the waste!
pipe is attached have it made so that'
it may be frequently taken apart and!
flushed with boiling soda water.,",
Drahn the waste water from the re -1
frigerator into the garden or yard.
To make a drain from the icebox, cute
a hole in the floor and place a large;
funnel in the hole. Now connect suf-
ficient length of pipe used for speak -i
ing tubes to this hole and drain into
the yard or garden. This pipe can
easily be taken apart for frequent 1
flushing,

dry before you can get over it. The;
sole objection to this method is in the'
effect of the strong solution on one's)
fingers, A rubber or leather glove
may be used, but oven without gloves!
Ifind it takes so short a time to clean'
a number of windows that if one is
careful to wash the hands immediately
after the task, then rub them with i
lemon juice or vinegar and rinse'
again with clear water, there will be
no unpleasant effect."
How to Clarify Fats.
Here are three methods of chtrify-

given under Method 1, using sour milk.
Flavors and odors are modideci, Me-

"And still feu them?"
"Clearer titan ever now." -
"Then you area t sorry she came

"Sorry, man?" exclaimed Peter.
"Even at this price—even if there

visions."
"But there is hope?"
"I have one chance in a thousand.
It's more than anything I've had up to

"One in a thousand le a fighting

"You speak as if that were more
than you had."
"It was."
"Yet you won out."
"How?" demanded Monte -
"She married you."
"Yes," answered Monte, "that's
true. I say, old man—it's getting a
bit cool here. Perhaps we'd better go

Monte had planned for them a drive
to Cannes the day Beatrice sent word
to Marjory that she would be unable
to go.
"But you two will go, won't you?"
she concluded her note. "Peter will
be terribly disappointed if you don't."
So they went, Leaving at ten o'clock,

cul'ture and tlie mil:er'1 have been -
working 1305et1er for nloatlt.4 upon the
very difflcolt problem of the fails::b
method of diitri'hueing bt all and
shorts, The &emend in (,puede for
these iee'ls 14 many times the total
output of Canadian tennis 111111 40nle3
from all parts of the country. The
prices fixed' for brats tint shorts have -
made deem relatively cheaper than
obiter feeds, such as outs and barley,
and this tan increased the demand
and, moreover, in many ports of the
country, oats and barley were a short
crop last year, ez was also hay.
3he extreme need of our Allies; in
Europe for every pound of "lour and
every bushel of wheat that could be
spared has nocessitabed the lengLbeu-
ing of Lhe extraction in millLig. Under
ordinary conditions about 270 pounds
of wheat would bo used to snake 101
pounds of flour, and allowing, 3 pound::
for waste there would remain 71
pounds of offal, but about 10 pounds
of the lower grade flour would be acid-
: ed to the shorts to make middlings 610
, that there would be a total of about
81 pounds of feed produced. Under
the Order now in force the mills must
make 196 pounds of flour out of 258
pounds of wheat and cannot turn any
back into the shorts, so that to -day
only 59 pounds of feed is made in the
process of grinding a barrel of flour
and the richer feeds cannot he made at
all. Taking an equal amount of wheat
in each case, this means that almost
25 per cent. less feed ie being made
than before, which of course has made
the feed problem still more difficult.
It is entirely out of the question for
the mills-, under these conditions, to
ahip full carloads of bran and shorts
to meet the demand for feed without
causing users at other points to suffer.
It would make no difference to the
miller whether he sold ill full carAt
-
loads or in less than carloads, for his
price to the trade is fixed at the same
amounb per ton in both cases, but the
best and fairest method of distribu-
tion has required shipment in smaller
quantities. If a dealer does not re-
quire flour or some other cereal pro-
duce to fill a car, this of course in-
volves the payment by the dealer of
the higher freight rate charged upon
1, c.1, shipments. This difference
in freight may run from $1.00 to
$10.00 per ton, according to distance.
Dealers are naturally anxious to avoid
this extra cost, which might put them
at a disadvantage as compared with
competitors in the same district who
could fill a mixed car, and although
there is no etetra profit to them the
millers do not desire their customers
to be ata disadvantage if they need
oats, barley, oatmeal or flour which
could be used to fill the car. Thera,*
is, however, no such thing as compul-
sion on the part of the miller nor any
financial object on his part in insist-
ing, since he can make no more money
by doing so and already has a bigger
market for all his products than ho
can fill.
The critical condition of food sup-
plies for the Allies during the neat
13ew months has led the Canada Food
Board to pass additional orders affect-
ing wheat and flour. It has been
made illegal for farmers, or anyone
else, to use any minable wheat for
feed for any kind of animals. Con-
iunters are prohibited from accumul-
ating stocks of flour beyond their ac-
tual current needs and must return to
dealers any excess ,bhey may have
been hoarding, and dealers must re-
port their excess stocks which will be
returned to the millers or disposed of
as the Canada Food Board direcbs.
The British Ministry of Food has
proved that excellent bread can be
made by the addition of 15.20 and even
50 per cent. of potatoes. It has prov-
ed that a loaf made of equal parts of
flour and potatoes adds 04. pounds of
bread for every 7 pounds of potatoes
used,
