This should be no hard's'hip. I'eople would save money and better health would be thelia to fit them for The reconstruction pb g and u uildin of Canadian industries of all kinds. Thrift and industry will quickly liquidate Canada's wear debts, Many commodities are sold in pack- ages which eari'be bought in bulk for better valuer Take an interest in all your shopping for food and watch carefully the savings you can make. It is the savinge of the people that make for national wealth. There are ether cuts of beef besides sirloin steak which show considerably more food value for the money. Beef at lower prices .tastes just as good if properly cooked. Do not get the idea that the end o the war means the end of saving. To day not only our soldiers and Allie must be fed but the people of van quished countries and even some o the neutrals, making a grand tots of something like 250,000,000 peopl in all. Food conservation moist g on with added vigor. Winter is th season of conservation, Should children have meat? It i a vexed question. Food experts bol tingly to the statement that mea should not be given to children under seven yearn of age. The food pro perties to he found in meat can b secured for children in bread, milk eggs, green vegetab}es and fish, These foods are good for them, whereas money spent in meat for children is wiwisely spent. Thrift does not imply meanness It is just good business applied to the home. We are beginning to know the meaning of thrift in Canada to -day, We had forgotten about the A number of housekeepers would be ,:oeked if they could see the dirt, eteria and molds in many fruit's which they consider do not need washing, Prunes and all dried fruits should be washed thoroughly in warns water before soaking. 'Then cover with cold water and' soak overnight. Right here it might be well to state that all dried fruits only absorb their original moisture 'content, and for this rea- son, when cooking, great quantities of water are not necessary. Serub lemons, oranges and grapefruit with a • brush under running water, Wash all nuts and then .dry, before oracle, If you purchase the shelled nut meats plunge them into boiling water, and drain and dry before using. Wash the tapioca and rice under plenty of water, until the water runs clear, before cooking. Wipe steaks, chops, roasts and stewing meats with a clean damp cloth. Pour boiling water over seed- ed and cleaned currants and raisins, f before using, Drain, turn on h - troth and pat dry. s Pour boiling water over candied - orange and lemon peel and also citron f peel.This will not only help it to be 1 shredded easier, but else removes e dust and dirt. This can be quickly O done and the food will not lose its e flavor. Wag' and wipe apples, pears, etc., s and plunge grapes into a bowl of wa- di ter or wash under running water t and drain on a cloth. Fastidious people like to know and feel' assured that the actual ,,axil, due to handling e 'anis packing the food, is removed be- fore ]enlacing the food on the table. Always remove food from paper bags and place in bowls or on platters be- fore storing. A. piece of charcoal will help keep the refrigerator clean and sweet-smelling, by absorbing all odors and purifying the box. AIIAI3S, INDIANS AND TQMMES ,wry. .flew Nationalities in British glisten Army Regarded One Another. In the Mesopotamian campaign the rritiali fiorce included some diverse i.ationelities. It was interesting, says rlr, Arthur Tillotson Clark in 'o 13ag- dad With the British, to see how these soldiers of different nationalities frtlm Arabs to Tommies regarded one an- other, The Arabs cared little for the Tedious, and 'the feeling was recipro- dated. The Indians felt far superior to mere Aruba. But one fellow had an experience that made hint a little doubtful of big superiority. One dark night when this Indian soldier was on sentry duty he saw something moving in the dimness,. "Halt!" he shouted; hut the figure kept moving as if it did not hear. Again the Indian shouted, but the figure still moved along steadily. Then aiming in hopes of hitting it if it were an Arab and missing it if it were not, he fired. The figure dropped, Trembl- ing with excitement, the Indian ap- proached the spot where the figure bad dropped. Nothing stirred. He must have hit it, He walked nearer and made out the shape of a lnan•in a huddled position, Ile shouted again, but got no answer. The Arab was surely dead. Coivinced that he had a prize, the sentry walked forward, and in his glee was about to kick the dead mean when up jumped the Arab, seized the gun from the Indian and made off across the desert, never to be seen again. - Although the Indians felt superior to the Arabs, they stood in awe. of the Tommies. One day some Arabs were walking along the path by the river where there was room'only`for two or three abreast. A group of In- dianst approached them from the op- posite direction. They might have found room to pass, but no; the Arabs mast jump down to the water to 'let the Indians have the whole path.

Canadian breeding cat- tle also are. wanted. ;Canada is the only country upon whose cattle France does not maintain an embar- go. Before the war Denmark used to send Great Britain 2,800,000 hundred- weight of bacon per year. To -day Denmark is herself short of 1,873,- 000 pigs. And her great hungry neighbor, Germany, is 'short 19,806, 000 pigs.

"I wish to goodness you'd shay once in a while, George Anderson! That outbrurat of Em's was wha started us. She had been going to high school in town for throe years, and it was pretty clear each time she'd come back that she didn't like our company very much at first un 111 she got used to us again. In fact if she hadn't been loyal clear throe I confess I would have had a sneak ing fear that some time Em woul grow ashamed of its out on the farm We were sitting at the supe table when she fired that out of clear sky. George's face got a dul red, and he rubbed the back of hi hand over his cheek. Then he said; "What's the idea in dolling up to- night? Going to have company?" It was Em's turn to flush up when ' her mother cut in with, "Oh, no, Just one of her• hielr falutin' happened. But after supper George in e went upstairs and shaved and chang- r s didn't have time, so we economized on clothes. We didn't care much about styles as long as a suit held together, a.nd the wife never was one to dress up much anyway. Besides, with keeping up with new machinery and paying for the children's school- ing, there wasn't much left for frivolity. But, in a way, Em was right, The Burgesses hadn't a cent more than we had, but they did seem to have a sight more fun, Mrs. Burgess was president of the Clover Valley Wo- man' 5 Club, and it seemed as if there were young foils over at their house every night. They had -a tennis court on their place, and they had a porch, cozily furnished, where the family gathered in slimmer, while someone read aloud or played the phonograph. They had a fine home, and flowers and shrubbery which w h c they seemed as proud of as their pure-bred live stock and big modern barns. They had made very cordial ad- vances toward us when they firsts came toi l ve in neighborhood, ou1 rbut we had not responded. We had decided that they thought themsehves superior, and George and Ern were stiff and shy with them, Personally I liked Burgess. FIe seemed to be a good, practical man and was mak- ing a success. But,as Bin asserted he wasn't making ayk more money than I was, "Agnes," I said, "what's the mat- ter with taking those kids at their word?" Shelooked d up with a queer expres- sion, and I realized what made it. I guess I hadn't called her by her own name forear . Y s Sometimes she got Aggie or Ag, but most of the time WO had dropped into calling her "Ma" ---except Em. She called her mother. Right then we planned to surprise the children, Em was going 'to the city the next day to visit a school friend 'and would not return until the following v g evening,The wife and I decided that we wold go with her, presumably on business with some of our city customers, but would spend the day shopping, We reached the city a little before noon, had An early lunch, and theta s 1 � .F n t3 n F elk) - --,w shopping, We planned to meet late in the afternoon and catch the even- ing rain home, When Mother' met me she was quite flushed and eXelted, and Molted younger than she had for a long time, even though she didn't have on any of Viler new clothes.

"I'd ike to have something new to put on every day. I'd like to see you all in something trete every day. I'd like to see Mother with her hair curled anin 1 d a blue sill. di.� silk . and s'lh m stockings and pumps. "The onlyreason eason the girls don't tape about Mother's hair the wa they do about Mrs. Burgess's is that it isn't shampooed often enough to make it fluffy and silvery, and be- cause she drags it back and lets the short hairs strings.

There isn't any sense in this slouching around at home and dressing up just for other people to look at us. We have to look at each other, don't we?"

IIo1:Y LAND Among Its Future Industries Will Be, Agriculture, Cattle Raising, ,Tans and pidoap Making. In the minds of most people the Holy Land is hardly associated with track and industry, yet as n matter of fact Palestine Was one ' cif the few provinces of the Turkish Empire where economie activities were per- sued with energy and sTuecess,'This is brought out effectively by comparing' the valise of Turkish trade as a whole With that of Palestine, Before' the war, says the. Lonclole Bconoreist, the imports and exports of ,Turkey am- ounted annual together in some $243e- 325,000, which: for "a population of about 25,000,000 works out at $10' a head. The trade of South Palestine alone (with a population of 875,000), which flowed through the ports of Tafl'a and Gaza, totalled some $12,166,- 250. This gives 530 a head of the population. Both imports and exports have gone up in value during the last decade or two. In'18851 the imports amounted to $1,167,900, and the exports to $683,- 980; the figures for 1900 were, res- pectively, $1849,270 and $1,289,622,. , while for 191.8 they were $6,375,115 and $8,649,875. Two causes have contributed chiefly to bring about this commercial ex- pansion. The'1•ailway system is one; the character of the population the other. geographic position of Pales- tine, now, as throughout the -ages, makes it the highway between Asia. Minor on the one hand and Egypt and Arabia on the other. It was therefore a vital link between the heart of the Turkish empire and its outlying parte, ncl this will explain why the Turkish government devoted more attention o lzilway construction in Palestine San in any other province. The first line was complgted, between Jaffa and erusalem, in 1892; to -day Jerusalem is linked up with Haifa, a splendid Harbor, with Damascus in the north, and with the Egyptian railway sys- tem via Gaza. But such lines as exist Tall far short of the requirements of the country. The skeleton of a mile -at way system is provided, and there will be great scope for railway construe, ion of a large scale in Palestine. Palestine may not perhaps be made neo a land flowing with milk acid honey, but its possibilities are never- theless encouraging. Agriculture will, of , course, continue to he the main source of the country's Wealth, yield- ing oranges; wines and olives, to say nothili I o g f the splendid barley grown in the Gaza district, which enjoys a well deserved reputation for excel- lence.' Cattle']{reeding'has also been atternpted, on a• sniale scale, with set- isfactoryy results, slid experience shows that there are_ good prospects in this direction in the future. More - ever, the, industries that are ,likely to thrive hill be 'based on 'the' tillage of the soil. The manufacture of wine, eat brandy and raisins is held by coo- 4" petent authorities to be capable.of great ''expansion; jam making has a future in Palestine; the manufacture of soap will: be facilitated by, the abundance of oil; and there is lin' open - in for'.th g e cigarette industry, which will be able to depend on home grown tobacco of excellent quality, HUNG PRISONERSIUP BY HANDS Germans Tortured British and Ruse shins for Small Ofi'ences.
