QUESTION BOX
Mrs, M. C. asks: 'Why do boiled
onions look grey instead of white.
even when they are just cooked?"
Answer: Probably you cook then
too long or to slowly. Overcooking
makes• most white vegetables turn
dark and lose their fresh flavour.
Drop onions into boiling salted
water. Add a tablespoon of cooking'
fat, Turn electric element to med-
ium. Cook then until they are just
tender,
Mis* 3.'D, writes: "What,'does'en-
rirhed' flour mean? Would you ad-
vocate using it for everything?"
Answer: The new flour is an "Im-
proved" flour. It contains two vita-
mins—thiamine and nicotine acid
and one mineral—iron, It may also
contain Vitamins B2 and D, and cal-
cium and phosphorus, at the miller's
option. Read label. Use for baking.

For Liberty
It is common knowledge that Brit-
ain, tln'oughoutits long years of
peace, has always been inclined to
forget its twiny. And even in time of
war the .English habit is often to ap
plaud Dominion troops, at the expense
of those solid, encini'ing battalions
that are raised in its own counties.
In the fighting in Eritrea, for ex-
ample, the Indian regiments that
snared the victory were rightly prais-
ed for their gallantry and hardiness,
But 00 soldiers on that parched and
tearful battle+filed fought better than
a battalion o .English infantry, the
'West Yorks.
But this diffidence toward praising
its own regiments has not been chart
acteristic of Scotland. The Royal
Seats, the Black Watch, Camerons,
Gordons, Highland Light Infantry,
Scots Guards, Scots Greys, Argyll and
Sutherland, the Seaforths, the Scot-
tia11 Rifles, the Scots f usileers—these

When ce
action,
h non of been r in
all Scotland reads of the battle with
tensa• and personal interest. Victory
or defeat comes home to every vill-
age. Even news of defeat has never
conte without some circumstance that
modifies its hurt --a story of courage
in disaster, of a great spirit in tinges
of little hope,
HIe was relating his adventure to
his fiancee, "1 had to hack my Way
through almost impenetrable jungle,"
he Said. "Chopping, slashing a thick
undergrowth and trees. Many a man
would have collapsed under the
strain, but I won through."
"Oh, George," said he. "I•Iow
splendid. What an expert you'll be at
weeding the garden, darling!"
A depressed -looking fellow strolled
into tine restaurant. A waiter bustled

cold shoulder?"
"No, thanks; I had that this morn-
ing,"
"Well; then, tongue, sir?"
"No, thanks; I'll get that tonight."

The Spirit o
The Pioneer
Mother
FlamesAnewToday
THINS BACK to the old days - when Canada
was young.
Think of the high courage, the indomitable will of
those pioneer women. Within the stockade or in
the open field, they toiled—yes, fought by ,the
side of their men for the safeguarding of everything
they held dear.
In the hearts of the women of Canada, this old spirit
flames anew today ! Gone are the heavy muskets,
the log barricades—but the love of freedom, the
stubborn resolve to win through at all costs — these
things remain unchanged, unchangeable !
Grimly quenching their tears, mothers say "God
bless you" to their fighting sons—everywhere young
women are serving where duty calls—the women of
Canada are bound together in one common cause.
In. thousands of Canadian homes, women are revising
their family budgets, planning new economies, mak-
ing extra sacrifices—so that more and; more money
will be available for the purchase of Victory Bonds.
They know— these women of Canada— that every
dollar loaned now means more tanks—more guns—
more planes—more ships—more of everything which
is needed' to smash Hitlerism and bring Peace to all
the family hearths of the world.
