Bake in a slow oven. Corn which is too old to_boil will make good chowder. - Cut the corn from six ears and put it, along with six potertoes, an onion, and a sweet pepper, through a food chopper. Brown two tablespoonfuls of chopped meat in a little fat, add a tablespoon- ful of flour, then the minced vege- tables, a teaspoonful of salt and a ealtspoonful of pepper, Barely cover with boiling water, or stock in which meat has been boiled, and simmer gently for an hour; then add a cupful of milk and bring to a boil. Serve hot. Mint apple jelly: Steep a cupful of mint leaves for one hour in a cupful of hot water (don't boil), then press through a cheese -cloth bag. Use green, unripe apples and cook them in enough water to keep them from sticking to the kettle. Add a teaspoon- ful of the extract of mint to one cup- ful of apple juice (strained), allow- ing a pound of sugar to a pint of the juice. Cook for about twenty min- utes, then pour into molds or glasses. This makes a clear, delicately colored jelly, very pleasing to the eye and most appetizing with a roast of meat. Tomato chowder makes a meal in itself: Dice salt pork to make four tablespoonfuls; put into a hot frying - pan; brown with it two chopped on- ions. Add a quart of boiling water, a quarter of a cupful of rice, a quart of canned or freshly stelived tomatoes, two teaspoonfuls of salt and a sprinkle of red pepper. Cover and let cook slowly for an hour, or until the' rice is soft. If not quite thick enough add a tablespoonful of cornstarch, mixed with water, and stir until the cornstarch is cooked. Macaroni with minced ham affords an opportunity to use left -overs. To one cupful of macaroni, use a cupful of minced cooked ham, a cupful of corn (canned, fresh or left -over cook- ed corn), half a cupful of bread - crumbs, one tablespoonful butter or butter substitute, salt and pepper. Cook the macaroni in a large amount of boiling salted water, driein and rinse itt cold water, Arrange macaroni; ham anal corn in alternate layers in How To Do Things. - Sweet peppers shquld be skinned before using for seasoning. The skin peels off easily if the peppers are dropped for a moment into boiling water or heated in, the oven. Keep cider sweet by. putting grated horseradish, a tablespoonful to a gal- lon of juice, into the cider while it Is fresh; then bung it up tight. The horseradish gives a pleasant tang. Frankfurter sausages are popular cooked thus: Pare large potatoes, and with an apple corer make a tunnel through each and draw a sausage throttgh the tunnel. Put into a baking pan with a slice of fat salt pork or bacon over each potato, pepper lightly and bake until the potatoes are done, basting occasionally with the drip- pings and a little hot water. Peanut cookies are nice or school luncheons. They require one-half cupful of sugar creamed with four tablespoonfuls of butter, two eggs, four tablespoonfuls of milk, one cup- ful finely chopped peanuts, one heap- ing cupful of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.

Serve cucumber loaf with hot or cold roast meats, The loaf is made thus: Into two cupfuls of boiling water tarn six pepper corns, a blade of mace, one-half of a bay leaf, ono - half teaspoonful of celery salt and a slice of onion; steep twenty minutes; drain and add to the Auld three- fourths of a, box of gelatin dissolved in a little cold water; strain and add. four tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Cover the bottom of a mold to the depth of a half inch with the mixture, add a layer of sliced cucumbers and xe- peat the layers until the dish is full, Serve very cold on a bed of water- cress. Heavenly jam is all that the name implies. It calls for five pounds UT Concord grapes, four large oranges, one pound of seedless raisins, four pounds of sugar. Wash the grapes thoroughly. Remove the pulp from the •skins, saving the skins. Heatathe pulp and run through a sieve to re- move the seeds. Wash the oranges. Pare the skin very thin and grind it in a meat -grinder. Take out the juice of the oranges. Chop the raisins fine or run them through a meat -grinder. Put the grape skins, the grape pulp, orange juice, ground orange skit., chopped raisins snlesugar together in a granite pan, and let the mixture cook slowly until a syrup is farmed. Be sure that the grape skins are well cooked. Chopped nuts may be added to the ingredients, if desired. PUt itt jelly glasses and cover with paraffin. The Hotne Dispensary. .A. mother cannot hope to cope suc- cessfully with little ailments and mis- haps unless she sets up a family media cine chest, which need not be either elaborate, expensive, nor a thing beauty. If her husband is a han man he might knock one together f• her; if not, then she can make us of a small wooden or even a tin biscuit box. Either will 'serve her purpose ad- mirably, but if it contains poison, she would be well advised to place it on the topmost shelf, as far as possible out of the reach of the children. One of the commonest troubles of child life, perhaps, is the cuts and bruises which they get itt falling on hands, knees, legs and faces. The injured parts should be at once bathed in warm water to which a few drops only of carbolic acid has been added. The correct Apportion is one,in, IP the skin is hot broken, then ateam may be applied; if it is broken, boracia ointment, compounded of one ounce of vaseline and one drachm of boric acid, is excellent for healing and cleansing wounds. In the case of burns the great thing is to exclude the a'ir, and flour, starch, be used with good effect. Blisters soap, and the white of an egg may should be pricked with a needle, and lint well soaked in Carron. oil, a mix- ture of equal parts of lime water and olive oil, put on. - Castor oil, in addition to its med..: kiwi properties, is a splendid eia61- Bent, and even if the disease is to be found in the innermost layer of the skin, the effect:, of the oil penetrate to the root of the evil. A very little dropped into the eye rids it of an obstruction, and cools the eyeball at the same time. .A. milder medicine than castor oil for delicate children is magnesia, either fluid or calcined, and ginger essence is useful in cases of flatulence. Where children are liable to croup, ipecacuanha wine i•s indispensable. A teaspoonful should be administered on the first sign of a crow, and the dose should be repeated every five minutes until the cough is relieved. Whooping cough is relieved by a large tablespoonful of glycerine in a glass of hot milk. Linseed meal must be includecl in the list of contents for the medicine chest, as it is necessary for poultices. No less important is mustard for an emetic in case of poisoning, choking, or for a hot bath in case of convul- sions. Permanganate of potash, besides being one of the best disinfectants, is very good as a gargle for sore throats, or for a sufferer from diphtheria. It should be used in the proportion of four grains pure permanganate of potash to eight ounces of water. The bite of a dog or the ating of an adder is rendered innocuous by the immediate application of lunar caustic, which should be well rubbed into the wound for about ten t..l'econde, Lime water, 'for use in cases of weak digestions or sickness or stom- ach troubles, is easily 'made at home. Put •a piece of quicklime the size of both your hands in a basin, and cover with two quarts of cold water, stir well, and leave for six boars. With- eut disturbing the sediment, strain the liquid part through a double cheesecloth. Bottle, cork tightly, and keep in a cool plate. Before using this, pour a quantity off the top if it has been kept for any length of time. A teaspoonful to a tablespoonful is a dose, and should be given in a glass of milk. Strips of bleached obr unbleached cotton and linen, muslin or flannel, from half a yard to OM and a half ,yards in length and four inches wide, should bo reserved and kept r Oiled up for bandages, also a bundle of clean raga for binding up wounds and cuts, and for poultices, fomentations, etc. Adhesive and court plasters are also needful. Here is a short list of necessary articles for tho medidee chest: Arnica, boracie ointment, boric 'acid, Carron oil, castor oil, cod liver oil, camphorated oil, court plaster, ginger essence, ipecacuanha wine, lime water, lunar caustic, linseed meal, magnesia (fluid and calcined), mustard,' perman- ganate of potazh, and vaseline. Why He Was Leaving. A prosperous grocer had occasion to engage a new errand -boy. Trade was very brisk, and the lad had a great deal of work to do in delivering Parcels in different parts of the town. "Well, Johnnie, how did you get on on 8aturday?" asked the grocer on Monday morning. ' "Oh, fine," replied Johnnie, "but I'll be leavin' at the end of the week." "Why, Johnnie, what's up now?" querried his master, "Are the wages not high enough?" .

His allusion to its reference to An army comes later. And Webster is corred—rnetzculously so. It was their private.life morale that made such splendid soldiers of our boys when the time came for them to don the khaki. It was that, and that alone, that made them take the first itep, and it was that which carried them through to 'victory. If their every -day morale had been neglected, the Army could have done little with them and success would not have crowned their efforts. It is the many little incidents of your daily routine that make up your morale—the morning shave, your clean linen, polished shoes, brushed clothes. Webster speaks of zeal, spirit, hope and confi- dence. It is by attentin. to the small details of your personal appearance that these may be attained. The Gillette Safety Razor enters as much into the morale of every- day life as it did into that of the trenches. It helped our soldiers to maintain their confidence and bearing. It will do the same for you. The Gillette Safety Razor makes the daily shave come easy—there,, is no pulling or scraping—no honing, or stropping—just five minutes of perfodt shaving comfort, And, afterwards, a chin that tells of morale and self-respect.

Pain and soreness along the ribs and on the breastbone is an exceed.* ingly common complaint, The dis. comfort is ncreased by moving the arms, coughing, or upon taking a deep breath, and •at times there are , shooting pains which -seem to pierce ' the body. When the pain is looated on the left ,side it is often .attributed to heart trouble, and is the source of a great deal of worriment on the part of the patient, At times there is a burning sensation in the affected region; or there may be a tingling sensation, or the patient may feel as if something were crawling on the skin. When the trouble is located in the upper part of the chest it znay be painful to mellow, and trouble with the gullet is suspected. The above is a fair description of the condition known as "intercostal neuralgia." This ailment is often mistaken for pleurisy and vice versa. Pleurisy is, however, nearly always accompanied by a cough and some fever. In true neuralgia there is no rise in temperature. The diagnosis of intercostal neer- algia may be confirmed by the absence of fever and the presence of three tender points in line—the first point at the border of the spine, the second itt line with the first and midway be- tween the back and breastbone, and the last on.the breastbone in line with the other two. These tender poirts may be elieated by pressing along the rib on a level with the painful area, The causes of the trouble are alas, den chilling of the musaies, over, erticn, weather ci angee :sad pressure resulting from tight clothing. The treatment consists in the appli- cation of heat and counter irritation obtained through the use of irritating liniments or ointments If there is a tendency to rheumatism a preparation of salicylic acid taken under a physi- clan's direction will usually afford relief. In severe cases 'strapping the side with adhesive plaster will ac- complished the desired result. TO PROTECT GAME, Local Associations to • Promote Wild Life Conservation. It A a well recognized manciple that, in a democracy, a law is difficult of enforcement unless it has behind it the force of public opinion. It is also a fact that public opinion is ineffec. tive unless it is organised. One difficulty with the laws pro. tecting.our resources in game and fur - bearing animals has been that too fres quently the game wardens have not had the public behind them in the en- forcement of the law. Accordingly, in some districts, local societies have been formed to promote the protection of wild life. Such a society should be composed of sportsmen and others interested in the objects of the association. It can perforin valuable service by educating public opinion, by supporting the game wardens, by recommending to the Provincial governments improve ments in the law and means by which the law nmy be better administered and by calling attention to infractions and abuses. Among societies already in exist- ence may be mentioned the Essex County Wild Life Conservation As- sociation, the Sudbury District Game and Fish Protective A.ssoeiation, the Petawawa Camp Fish and Game Club; the Vancouver Angling and Game As- sociation, and the' Vancouver Game Club. The National Conference on Con. servation of Game, Fur -bearing Ant. mals and other Wild Life, at its meet. ing this year passed the following re, solution: "That the National Conference of officials, sportsmen, and others con. cerned in the conservation of game animals and other wild life, is of the opinion that, as one of the best means of promoting the conservation of these animals is by the promoting', of local game and wild life protective mocha. tions, the organization of such amnia - tions be encouraged by every means possible and that the Provincial gov- ernments be recommended to make special efforts to promote the organie zatioa and to assist in the maintop. - once of such associations. 44 Hemlock Bark Useful. The feasibility of using waste hem- lock bark from paper mill operations for tanning purposes has been further demonstrated in recent toots made by the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis. The product is satis- factory to the tanner and can be pre- pared at a cost that will allow it to compete with leaf bark, The Use of paper mill bark for tanning would Mean a source of ineorne to the paper mill from a material which is now of little or no value.
