I will say, it did not have many old wear- able clothes, as there are too many needy people to hoard useful things like that, But as for other things— oh, dear me! The sort of thing that you are not using, but hate to throw away in case it may be useful. Just try throwing it away ' and there will be a cry go up for it immediately. They talk about women hoarding. Maybe. My experience is that the male sex are the worst. And the younger they are the worse they get. I have learned by experience to time �rny bonfires to take place immediate- ly .after school goes in. If the boys are home I am not allowed to burn anything. Time after time I put things in the garbage, to have them discovered .and rescued. Now I am like the dog with a bone. I bury it deep. At that I try to show consid- eration, but when things are no good at all, what is the use of cluttering ups the house with them. While we were packing to move, I threw out an amazing .amount, and when I saw how much we had left, I discarded as we unpacked.. I was not ruthless enough. The cellar is the catch-all and it is much too full. Nearly every house accumulates, and if you have never moved you have .no idea how much you have. Man -Made Houses There is a crying need for women architects. When you think of all we women have to put up with in houses simply because men do not know any better, you will agree with me. If men had to do more housework, we would have things more convenient. I only wish plumbers had to break 1 Bringing Up Father Will play at GORRIE "Bringing Up Father," the World's greatest laughing show will play at Gorrie on Monday, Dec. 7th Real live performers on the stage.

We had the some- what painful pleasure of building a house some years ago, and what a time I had to get what I wanted. I almost had a hand-to-hand fight to get the sink high senough,• But I got it. There were no wash -tubs made that were high enough, so .1 had the tubs set on blocks to raise them. Why it was almost a pleasure to wash in those tubs. Wall space is another thing that men will not give •us. The house in which we are living at present has no Less than three double archways and by the time you take these arch- ways and a fireplace, there is no wall space left. No woman would have de - signed a house like that. We need not give up in despair though, if we keep on struggling we will get ;these things. Just look at cupboards, For years women talked about cupboards until they arrived in the joke cate- gory, like mothers-in-law. But they got their cupboards. New houses have lovely cupboard space and 'many an old house has been revamped to provide the lady of the house with her heart's desire. So we must not despair. We will get these things yet. In all seriousness, we need women architects. .Gastric Ulsers • ' If you are the thin, nervous, hard- working type, and have occasional in- digestion, see a doctor immediately. Gastric uisers conte to the lean. Un- fortunately, the indigestion apparent- ly gets better and lulls the victim in- to a false sense of security. If gastric ulcers are discovered in time, consid- erable can be clone for them, but if not they are a serious menace. Give your doctor a chance. He cannot cure your indigestion or discover ulcers if you do not go to him. Orange Pudding 2 cups milk 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch Legg 1 teaspoon butter j teaspoon vanilla 2 oranges Add the butter incl sugar to the milk and put on to heat. Mix corn- starch with a little cold water until smooth and adcl to the beaten egg. \'Vhen the milk is almost boiling stir a little of it into the egg and corn- starch. Add this to the hot milk stir- ring steadily, Cook this over a slow fire until the mixture thickens and then cook for three nitrates longer, stirring constantly, as it will burn easily. All the vanilla, when you re- move -from the stove. Pare the or- anges, removing all of the bitter white, membrane. If is better to pare the oranges as you would an apple, rather than to peel it. Slice the or- anges in a pudding dish and pour ov- er them the pudding mixture. Chill thoroughly and serve with cream, Serve Puddings Cold This kind of weather, it is easy to serve 'your puddings very cold. The only thing to do it to remember to make them early enough for proper chilling. Puddings of a starchy na- ture, such as any cornstarch, tapioca, or sago are much improved by thor- ough chilling, If your family is not • fond of milk puddings, it may be be- cause you have not been serving them at a proper temperature.
