reputation, just as it can make or
near a meal. actually, too; the
achievement of a rich, velvety pro-
duct is (mite a simple feat. For
gravy makers, however, w h o
aren't up to all the tricks of the
trade, the Consumer Section of
the Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture offers two rules, which, if
followed -Pill result in glossy
gravy, free -from -lumps, the pride
T any housewife.
Two Rules
Rule number one deals with the
proper blending of the flour and
fat. They should be well blended,
and the "flour browned before the
liquid is added. Remenmber . . .
the gravy won't brown after the
liquid is added.
Rule nuniber two is concerned
with addiicg and blending the
liquid. It may be water, meat or
chicken stock, liquor trom canned
or cooked vegetables, milk or to-
mato juice. Whatever it is, the
liquid should he cold when added
to the fat -flour mixture, Also, it
should be added gradually and the
Mixture stirred constantly during
the operation.
Gravy should not be made too
far in advance of serving, other-
wise it will dry out, become thick
and pasty and form a scum • on top
Which is difficult to blend back
smoothly into the gravy. For late -
to -dinner members of the family,
keep the gravy hot in the top of
a double boiler, closely covered.
Pan Gravy
Add 2 or 3 tablespoons boiling
water to frying or broiler pan used
in cooking steak. Stir well to loos-
en particles adhering to pan. Sea-
son as desired and serve on steak.
Brown Gravy
g cup fat (drippings from
roast)
y cup flour
2 cups cold liquid (water or
meat or vegetable stock)
Salt and pepper to taste
Always make gravy in the pan
in which the meat was cooked.
When meat is done, remove from
pan to a hot platter and keep warns
in oven with heat off or hi warm-
ing oven, Pour off excess fat leav-
ing / cup in pan. Add flotir and
cook, stirring constantly, until flour
becomes brown but not burned.
Remove pan from direct heat and
add cold liquid. Return to low heat

"It's goodby," he said firmly.
"I won't take :you. At least, I'm

because I love you. ft's goodby,

She could not speak; she let
him go, but she stood 'still, tears
blinding her. Iie would not take
her to fight his battle, there was
a tumult ism her heart, she wanted
to run after him to tell him she
would face anything for hint, but
he didn't want her to got The hot
blood rushed to her face; then she
remembered the angtciah in his
eyes—and he was going! She stood
holding her breath, listening to his
footsteps going away down the
long hall and, at last, the closing
of the door.
If there was something that
she could do; wasn't there some-
thing? Suddenly her heart leaped
—the jade god! She would make

"And now I'm hi for that, too,
I suppose!" Landon cried. "When
I tried to undo it, too,"

and her icy voice trickled back at

"And I'm glad of it—the coward!"

Thea Pani slipper past that cur-
tain arch and found the little door
in the corner; it opened into the
library beside the fireplace. It
was still in there; her first thought
was that there was no one in the
room; the shades had not been
drawn; a street -lamp garished out-
side, the fire ou the hearth was
low. Then, beyond the shaded
lamp, she Sa)w the outline of her
uncles gray head. She thought
he was asleep, his eyes were
closed, the red streak had faded
into ashen gray, he looked ilh It
seemed impossible that' hr could
be asleep after all that violence!
She saw the scattered bits of pol-

like poor Mark's hope of freedom
long ago.
She stooped softie and began.

letting her words sink in, but he
es.id nothing, only looked intently
at her. "Don't you see?" she
pleaded, "Ire gave it to you after
Mark left him. He was killed
after that. You can clear Mark, if
you will!"
"Oh, can I?" his gray lined face
was cruel when he twisted his
lips like that!
The girl looked steadily at hint
with the eyes of youth. "Yes, you
can! You umust—" .She tame near-

Burleson returned her look
steadily, Isis grayness seemed to
increase, -for the tempest of his
anger had left him weak.
"Welty are you so sure he didn't
do it?" he asked raspingly. She
broke at that, suddenly childish
and forlorn, "I know—I love hint!"
Ile was dumfounded, "Extra-

"Yogi young girls now—good Lord,

"Who cares?" Pain stormed.

his race twisted again into his
mocking smile,
"If it stands in the way of life—

Uncle Herbert, you must have
known something; there was some-
one else; why didn't you say so?"
FIe considered her, his head sunk
Ietw'een his thin' high shoulders.
She was so Splendidly young and
so cruel in her youth.

slowly, "suppose I didn't know, but

"You meant it! Was any old

"Perhaps his people were. Think

The Bells Of Peace
Some day the bells of peace will
ring.
The wheels of war will .cease to
hunt.
Free Wren will plough the fertile
fields;
The thunder of the guns be dumb,
Once more will happy children
play
And sleep, uictroubled., safe in bed;
No terror fly by night or day!
No fear of bombers overhead! '
Yet, grass will grow on countless
graves,
Marked by plain crosses row on
row —
On men who gave their very all, ,
That love and beauty we might
know.
And, though the bells of peace may
ring —
Stil1, mangled bodies, wracked writh
pain,
And sightless eyes, will 'dumbly
plead —
"Let not mw torment be in vain."
In unknown 'places, noisome, dark,
In swamps, in sands, in restless sea,
Lie amen who sacrified life's
chance —
That you and I might still be free.
* * *
What kind of world will we then
make --
Full
Full of ideals for which they died?
Or, will we grow stiff-necked
again,
In hatred, greed and haughty pride?
Will trade and conquest be our
God?
Will we still seek the highest seat?
Then surely war will scourge once
more
And make destruction all complete.
Shall we not bravely see that they,
Our flesh mid blood, strove not in
vain,
And build a World on right, not
night,
When bells of peace ring out again?
— T. B. Gleave.
War Or No War

chapter of "recovered situations"

have written in wartime clothing.

coats of may colors, the heroic last
stand of five other shirts.

CHRONICLES
of GINGER FARM
By
Gwendoline P. Clarke
* s *
Last Thursday my baby chicks
were supposed. to atrive on the
morning train. I met the train and
waited eargcriy near the baggage
car—but alas there were no little
Chicks. I could hardly believe it
I thought the 'trainman must
have overlooked them, however
the train moved on, and 1, per-
force, went home, minus the chicks.
Naturaly I thought the shipper had
missed the train and that he would
either phone or deliver them in
person. Noon came elle there were
no chickensand no telephone call.
So then I called "long distance"
myself. The hatchery -man would
hardiy believe me when I said the
little biddies had not arrived. "But
I took then to time station at six
o'clock this morning," be said.
"Did you put them on the train
,,ourself?" I inquired.
"Weil, no, but I gave them to
the shipping agent. If you will
wait a minute I will make inquiries
and ring you back."
In a short while that is what he
did—and told nle the chickens had
been shipped all right but on the
wrong train! They had gone to To-
ronto. In all probability they would
be sent dove on "the Peanut" that
evening.
My poor little chicks—shut up in
boxes and shunted around from one
place to another. What will they
be like when I get them, I won-
dered.
* * *
At 7,30 I was at the station again
and this time, so were the
chickens. I opened the box with
considerable trepidation and found
not dead and dying chicks—but
150 lively, chipping little balls of
black fluff, as warm and happy as
you please, Joy riding must have
agreed with them as I have since
lost only two.
Now, of course, 1 spend quite a
lot of time running back and forth
tc the brooder house—mainly to see
that it doesn't get too hot.
The Sun is so warns and bright
ttlese early ,pring days. It is no
hardship looking after baby chicks.
I love to sit on time iced bag and
watch- them grow. Yes, watch
them! Honestly, they seen to
sprnut wings under my yery eyes.

In between attending to chickens
and collecting for the Red Cross,
Partner and i have made two trips
to Hamilton — it having become
necessary for Partner to have a
check-up et the clinic. These old
soldiers,

On our first visit to the clink
we were very interested in the
efficiency we found in every de-
partment. Partner's name was called
five- minutes ahead ' time. A
nurse tool, hiui to the doctor's own
waiting roost. From there to the
consulting ron, the laboratory,
consulting room, the laboratory,
office, back to the first one, and
finally out to the mair office where
accounts were tabulated and paid.
The complete round took exactly
two hours with hardly a minute
wasted. The "chief doctor, as he
questioned Partner, wrote down ell
the particulars, and as each page
was filled it was pegged outside his
office' door, From there it was
whisked away as if by magic, taken
to some secret sanctum, where the
rough copy later appeared in the
forte of typed cards forfamere-
fercnce.
The efficieney and quiet dignity
which prevailed throughout the
entire building was something; to
admire, and certainly gave Part-
ner confidence hi whatever -pro
ntouneenment might result from his
visit.
