DELICIOUS ' COSTS LESS Tia; fc- PER'A VERAG,i BAKING • THE MIXING BOWS By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Homo Economist WARMTH FROM FOOD Hello Homemakers! Another leaf has been torn off the 1943 calendar, bringing lee to a realization that we should fortify ourselves against bit- ter.. biting weather. Things ere different this year. We must try to get along with less fuel. By following the advice of heating authorities we can do much to keep our hones warm and at the same time share the fuel. It is our shay, however, not only to co-operate in exercising necessary economies, but to safeguard our health in order that we may be fit -. for the vital work we have to do on the home front. To safeguard our health we should not only wear warm clothing for the winter, but the must eat the right Icincls of food. Unfortunately, there is still some misapprehension as to the kind of heat -producing foods we should take, Hot foods are not always heat pro- ducing. For example: a cup of cool cocoa produces far more heat than a cup of steaming clear coffee, because cocoa is a starch plus fat. Starches, and fat speed up • the circulation of the blood which governs the rate of heat production in the body. A most important point is regularity, You don't go clown to the furnace and fill it with coal and wait until it burns out before you refill it. We all know the way 1:O get th emost heat out of the fuel is to use it moderately but regularly, The human body is stoked the same way. It requires a good sup- ply of fuel in the morning and at regular intervals throughout the day. Honey, sugar, and whole grain cer- eals are most valuable fuel foods, Porridge made from oatmeal, corn- meal, cracked wheat, is one of the best whole grain dishes. But there plenty of other grain products to select for the other two meals of the day: macaroni, spaghetti, bread crumbs, manufactured cereals, bis- cuit mixtures, pastries, dumplings, eta Of course, bread is our mainstay et each ureal. Root vegetables may also be added to our starch list, fre- weather does offer us the opportunity to enjoy meat coated with fat, 1'ieher gravies and sauces than we care to eat !ruing the summer. Merit, fish and eggs fit into pitch meal lis body-building and repair mater$als, Adequate supplies of citrus fruits, stewed fruits and raw vege- tables do not feature in the heat story, but do not overlook them. They are protective foods.

Answer: Failures in baking muffins are frequently due to over -mixing or letting the mixture stand for some time. * * * 1. Serve hot castes, hot tea biscuits, hot muffins and there will be little need for butter. 2. Substitute 1 square chocolate by using 2 2/3 ablespoous cocoa phis 1/ tablespoon shortening. 3. Substitute 1 cup butter by 'using 1/2 cup lard and 1 teaspoon salt and increase the liquid 1/y cup. W.P.T.B.

By essential users the price board means guards, trappers, persons re- quiring ammunition to protect live- stock and crops.

The rationing order has now been clarified along lines similar to a recent amendment in the British ration regulations. "London now has a large clothing remake centre with a local supervisor who directs the activities for all west- ern Ontario," according to Mrs. Det- wiler, chairman of the western Ont- ario consumer branch comnmittee. Smailman & Ingram Ltd., have don- ated 'floor space on their third floor to house the remake centre set up by the consumer branch of the wartime prices and trade board, Miss Marg- aret Birrell is in charge of the re- make centre. About 30 experienced sewers 'Volunteered to help as instruc- tor's in the remodelling of clothes for grown-ups and children. The remake centre is open even M:onday, Wednes- day and Friday from 9.30 am, to 12 noon and 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Women interested in learning new tricks in the art of re -making should send or call for an application fowl now ob- tainable at the London ReMake Cen- tre.

Repellent Protects Trees from Rabbits For the protection of trees against the depredations of rabbits in winter time, a Dominion Experimental Sta- tion in Saskatchewan, has tested litany repellents, the best of which is 11 mixture of resin and alcohol, states G. D. Matthews, the superintendent. This repellent is easy to prepare; the rabbits do not eat: the bark of trees where the repellent is applied, and it does not injure the trees. Like most things around the farm, the making of the repellent calls for attention to a few details which must be followed to obtain tite desired results. The al- cohol used mast be denatured ethyl (oracle 21:0 under wartime regula- tions), available through hardware or paint stores, Lump resin is used but it must be finely powdered before dis- solving. The lumps can be crushed by plato'g them in a sack and using a woe thy.\mailet. The resin can then be sift1 9rsrough a piece of fly Screen.

All parts of the trees which can or may be reached by the rabbits during the winter are treated.
