Baked Potatoes
To bake potatoes is one of the very
best ways of using them, as nothing
is lost in the cooking. Sometimes it
is difficult to get potatoes of a suit-
su a.
them. In that way, I have them sorE'4,,,
ed ready to bake. It works two ways
as the very large potatoes are not
as good for boiling.

Children Left Alone
In a little house in a backe.;treet.
two children are awaiting Mother's
and Dad's return. They are being
helped by a friendly organization
but there can be no home for them
until their parents come hack.
Where are the parents? For many
months they have been struggling
for lost health and strength in the
Toronto Hospital for Consumptives.
They have benefited greatly, as so
many hundreds do, froni the quiet-
ness,' fresh air, .kindly nursing and
medical attention.
"Able to walk to the diming -room
for two meals a day now" is the
proud boast of the husband and
father. But a short time ago he
could notbe moved from his bed..
A few months from now,,who
knows, he may be back again tak-
in up the burden of the home.
Such work as this has great econ-
omic value to the community as
well aa opening the only way from
misery and despair to hundreds of
the consumptive poor. The hospital
greatly needs your help. Will you
please send a gift to Mr. A. b,
