Any 1 have seen are a treat, The actors and actresses all. seen to really be the character and riot just to act il. The American stars so often are poorly supported,. but in the English films, even the smallest bit is given to a competent actor. Somehow, they all seem to fit their parts. The ladies are real ladies, not just acting a lady, And the voices! Sonie of them are like music, Thereare sweet voices, too, in the American films, but so few a themsound natural, The backgrounds in the English films are very different. The natural scenes themselves are used, not 'sets' built for the occasion, They must be a great pleasure to those, who are familiar with the country. When an English company tours Canada, we are reasonably sure of seeing a good company, and the same thing appears to be true of the talking picture, Vitamin B and .Arthritis Arthritis is a disease, which is very often very difficult to relieve. An English doctor found, during the war, that feeding foods high in Vita- min B had an effect. He specialized in This work after the war and. found in his private practise, that some- times the patient would be relieved completely. Most cases were reliev- ed considerably and a few were not affected at all, However, if you are suffering from arthritis;; rheumatism, in any form, or neuritis, it is worth trying to see if it relieves you. Vitamin 13 is widely distributed. It is found in the leafy vegetables. Let- tuce, spinach, water cress, radishes, and beet tops contain considerable amounts. Cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts also contain it, but to a lesser degree than the other leafy , vegetables. Vitamin B is found in root vege- tables and tubers and in grain such as wheat,' oats and corn. It is also found ill peas and beans. It is found iri grains, but we must use the whole grains in order to get the Vitamin B. If we use products manufactured from the grains such as white flour, polished rice, degerminated cornmeal, starch and glucose, we Tose the Vita- min 13,. Fruits contain considerable quan- tities of the vitamin in question. The fresh fruits should be included in the daily diet. Canned friuts and vege- tables do not lose vitamin 1' in can- ning, that is, commercially canned ones do not. Home canned ones may have it destroyed by excessive heating. Yeast is rich in vitamin 13. Milk and eggs contain small quan- tities ofvitaminB, but they are not specially rich in it, Muscle meats, AN OPPORTUNITY TO HOLDERS OF EARLY MATURING CANADIAN GOVERNMENT .

Gairdner & Company Limited 320 Bay Street Telephone Elgin 2301 Toronto such as steaks, roasts, stews and so on, do not contain it, but the glanu- lar organs, liver, kidney and sweet breads are rich in vitamin B. Fats and vegetable oils contain no vitamin 13 at all. To plan a diet rich in vitamin B is not' at all difficult as it is so plenti- fully distributed. Start the day right with a breakfast cereal made of the whole grain. It may be a cooked one or a cereal that is ready to eat. If you like to eat fruit with it, so much the better. Substitute liver or kidney for your bacon and eggs fre- quently. For your dinner, have po- tatoes and two other vegetables, or use water cress or radishes without a dressing. Have potatoes frequent- ly for the second meal and use whole wheat bread. Creamed sweet breads make a good supper dish. Have a salad at this meal too. It is not at all difficult to add Vitamin 13. Vitamin 13 was the first vitamin discovered. Since then there has been considerable research work done on it, and it has been divided into 131, 132, B3, B4. This diet list does not mean that other foods should not be included, but just means that these foods should be used liberally. Pineapple. May is Pineapple Month. Is it really as delicious a fruit, as we think it, or is it because it is the first of the fresh fruits to come in the Spring that we enjoy it so much? Whatever the reason, it is very welcome. Its only drawback is that it is rather a nuisance to prepare. There are sev- eral ways of doing this. The follow- ing method seems to me to be the quickest. Remove a slice from the top and bottom of the fruit, Cut in quarters lengthwise. Remove the core. Cut to the skin in strips, len- gthwise. Cut the same way cross- wise. Then slice. You will find the fruit comes away in cubes, the size of them depending on the width of the deep slashes. I use a large knife to make the slashes and a paring knife to slice off the little cubes. If you find this method awkward, don't give up at the first attempt, as there is a knack in it, which will come after a trial or two. This method wastes neither time nor fruit. Pineapple Wedges • Cut the pineapple in slices, Re-, move the core. Cut in wedge shapes ed pieces. Serve arranged around a mound of powdered sugar. The:, wedges are dipped in the sugar, anti eaten from the fingers. This makes a good breakfast fruit, by way of variety. It is also a dessert to be chosen by our friends the reducers. Spring Pudding Cut rhubarb in - inch lengths. Place in a shallow baking dish and cover with water. . Sugar well and sprinkle with whole strawberries and pecan or walnut meats. Place in a moderate oven of 350 degrees, and bake until water has gone down one- r. half. Cull Them Out As soon as the spring spurt in egg production commences to lessen there are certain hens in every flock that should be culled out and market- ed. The sooner they are gotten rid: of, the bigger will be the flock pro- fits. Labor is reduced, feed costs are lowered and the profitable birds are given more room in the laying house and on the range, Poultry also should sell for more money per pound in the; early part of the summer than later, so there is a material gain in dispos- ing of the non-productive birds. OnP of the simplest ways to cull the flock is to go over the birds when they roost at night. Pick out those with shrivelled, rough combs, and shrunk- en, hard abdomens. A bird with a large amount of hard fat around the abdomen is not in laying condition. Favorable reports on crop condi- tions are received from most parts of Ontario. Recent rains have helped matters and little damage by frost is reported. There are large increases in the acreage of early potatoes and clover and alfalfa seedings in many districts.
