Hello Homemakers! With tea and coffee on the rationed list, milk shakes and fruit drinks are coning into their own as thirst quenchers. Milk, our most nearly perfect food, may be varied in flavour by the. ad- dition of fruit juices or ice cream. Fruit beverages, too, have a definite place in summer menus. In making them, you need not depend entirely on definite 'recipes but just use your imagination a bit, combining the fruit juices on hand and sweetening them just until the tartness is taken off, no more. To be refreshing, fruit juices should not be too. sweet. Homemakers can' do a great deal to guide the tastes of the family to- wards other satisfying and most nut- ritive beverages. Remember the bridegroom who told the best man that he was a little nervous because there were some things that he and his bride did not agree on. "For In- stance," he said, "she likes lemonade and I like iced coffee." "Oh, well," replied the best man, "You'll soon like lemonade!"

As bread is frequently stored for a murh longer time, it should be stored under proper con- ditions if it is to retain the most of its good eating properties, says Harry Miller, Cereal Division, Cent- ral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Mould, the colour of which oay vary from a light grey to an intense black, is probably the most common cause of spoilage in bread, The moulds usually grow in patches, which increase in size until the whole loaf may be attacked, In the early stages, hte mouldy patch may be cut off and the bread used up. When a large area is moulded, the bread should be destroyed, and the bread storage then thoroughly disinfected. The condition known as "rope" on the other hand, develops on the in- , side of the loaf, and the damage can not be noticed until the loaf is cut. The centre of a "ropey" loaf be- comes slightly discolored, somewhat sticky and stringy. As the condition develops a heavy characteristic odor is noted while the dark color and doughiness become intensified. When these conditions are found to exist the infected bread should be destroy, ed and a htorough clean-up made. Where bread spoilage occurs in commercial bread notify your baker at once, so that he may be able to take action. If the bread is baked in the home, the addition of 2 teaspoons of vinegar for every four cups 'of flour usually prevents the trouble. Bread should be baked a little longer than usual and thoroughly cooled before being stored away. Bread should be stored in a clean, cool, dry place, away from other substances which have decided flav- ors or odors. Where it is stored in large amounts, bread should be plac- ed on racks, preferably screened in,' one loaf high and so placed to allow adequate ventilation. The racks should be scrubbed frequently and thoroughly dried before bread is placed on them. Bread should never be stored for any length of time in pasteboard shipping containers. In the home a well ventilated bread box should be used, The bread box should be scrubbed and aired in the sun from time to time. If wrapped. bread is used, the wrapper should be removed before the bread is placed in the bread box, and left -over bread should never be allowed to accumu- late. As most of the bread spoilage takes place during the humid sum- mer weather, extra care should be taken during this period. Make Check on Vegetable Garden replies. In midsummer there are spots in the vegetable garden that have lost the freshness they had a few weeks before. It is a good plan at this time of hte year to make a check up. Early ercops such as radish and spinach that may be passing to the seed stage should be removed, not only to prevent an unnecessary drain on the plant foods in the soil, but to eliminate an ideal breeding gorund for cutworms and other insect pests, says Alan G. Dunston, in charge of lfisect Investigations, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. Cabbage and cauliflower plants should be dust- ed to control worm larvae. It is bet- ter to use pyerthrum ppwder.

Not given a fair chance because of all the hubbub that accompanies them—the hysteria of relatives, the public show that is made of it all, the tears and the sighs, hte incessant advice and ad- mnoition, and then the honeymoon— a custom which I consider barbaric. A young couple dash off some- where in a car and spend a great deal more money than they can af- ford on e,n Elysian three weeks. Then they come back to a prosaic flat, with all the troubles of house- keeping, gas bills, and leaking roofs, and are expected not to get on each other's nerves. The contrast is too instantaneous.
