Add a little salt to the water; this will help to clean it, and keep the fish firm. Cod, haddock, mackerel, whitefish, salmon, etc., are best suited for boil- ing. Put the fish into warm water with a little salt and vinegar. Al- low ten minutes for each pound of fish, and fifteen minutes over, if large. Boil slowly.

The source of proteins` are meat, milk, cheese, butter, eggs, fish, grains and legumes. Their chief use is tis- sue building, repairing waste, and making muscle. They also supply the same amount of heat as starches. The source of carbohydrates fs in starches and sugars, and they are found chiefly in green vegetables, grains and fruits. They are used to supply energy or power to do work. To a small extent they build tissue. They also furnish heat The. source of fats is in beef, lard, chicken, and in olives, corn, peanut and cotton seed oil. Fats in the body'. furnish a greater amount of heat than starches. They are also used for building tissue. The source of mineral salts is prin- cipally in green vegetables, grains, milk, meats, eggs and fish. Salts are ' #( &i?- `nia ,A dumpingI,rround for misfits.

It is caused by thin blood which fails to carry sufficient nourishment to the nerves, and the child becomes restless and twitching of the muscles and jerking of the limbs and body follow. In severe cases the child is unable to hold any thing or feed itself. St. Vitus Dance is cured by building up the blood. The most successful treatment is to remove the child from all mental ex- citement, stop school work and give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills renew the blood supply, strengthen the nerves, and restore the child to per- fect health. Here is proof of their power to cure. Mrs. S. Sharpe, Oakville, .Ont., says: --"When my daughter was nine years old she was attacked with St. Vitus Dance. She was sent to a sanatorium where she remained for nine weeks, without any benefit. Indeed when we brought her home she was as helpless as a baby. T got a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and continued giving her half a pill after each Meal for several months, when she had fully recovered .used to regulate the body; they are and has never had a symptom of the also needed for the formation of bone trouble since." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for .$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Sunday and War. It is certainly remarkable how many important military events have taken place on a Sunday. It will be remem- bered that it was on a Sunday that the Germans made their hottest attack on our positions on the Aisne. Monte- negro, Italy, and Rumania all declar- ed war on a Sunday. The majority of the Zeppelin raids on England have been carried out on a Sunday morning, The forts of Tsingtau fell to the Jap- anese on a Sunday. It was also on a Sunday that the German cruiser Blu- cher was sunk in the North Sea by a British squadron. If we look back we find numerous instances of important • military feats having been performed on, a Sunday.,, To recall but few: The battles of Salamanca, Vimiera, Fuen- tes d'Onora, Orthez, Toulouse, and Vittoria were all fought on a Sunday.

For working people of all classes— those who work with their heads as well as those who work . with their hands—fish is an economical source of energy to enable them to carry on their work, and for children and young persons it furnishes the very mater- ials that are needed to enable them to grow healthy and strong. Another very important reason why fish 'should be generally used is its easy digestibility. In this connec- tien, however, it is important to note that, as' in other foods, the digestibil- ity and nutritive value of fish largely depends on floe cooking. In buying fresh fish, see that the eyes are bright and prominent, and the flesh firm, not flab! y. • Fish may be divided into two aallanait The b/e?fat int. 13' zz5p4 oned :Al e• SAY III 1111.1110:4 >,.-:a ,,a• art y -4 .- . ,ag ..,ra M. ^ NEW CLOAN The Safest a ;gid N est Invest -me t P ss ble t . °Wahl,.

DECEIVING HUN AIRMEN. ackcnzic WINNIPEG Doctor Tells How To Strengthen Clever Device Employed by French to Eyesight 50 per cent In One Week's Time In Many , Instances Deceive German Air Scouts. Although enemy airmen rarely ven- ture over the British or French lines nowadays, they come occasionally. Yet it is highly doubtful if the informa- tion they obtain is worth the risks they run. The French in particular have or- ganized an elaborate system of deceit :for the prying Taube. Hundreds of artists are employed in painting gi- gantic pieces of scenery, all of natural size and color; These are cunningly arranged behind the lines—churches, towers, villages, trains, so deftly de- picted that, from a height it is quite impossible to distinguish them from the real thing. Thus a Hun battery may be induced to waste expensive ammunition on what it is told by aerial observers is a camp full of soldiers, while in reality it is merely shelling lath and canvas. *a• IF FOOD DISAGREES DRINK HOT Rti When food lies like lead in theatom- acil and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is because of in- sufficient blood supply to the stoinaeh, contbined With acid and food £ermentp,- tion.

PARKER'S DYE WORKS, LIMITED 791 'Mange: Street . Toronto Clean Clothes and Health. A spoonful of dust contains as !many as 1% million germs of one sort and another, and a recent examination of clothes sent to a certain number of dry cleaners in a city whit' had been through a serious epidemic in the schools disclosed that from fifteen suits a quart and a half of dirt was taken in which there were sufficient disease germs to wipe out a small town. Statistics show that sickness and deaths in the Public schools of Am- erica is three times as, prevalent dur- ing the second term of the sehool year • as the first, and allowing for other causes like the bad weather usually common during. January and February a great factor in this high percentage is conceded 'to be that' whereas most children begin the year with new ' clothes, by the middle of the winter. they have become thoroughly im- pregnated with dust, and germs are spread frcm child to child. A little economy practised in other parts of the house,• the denial of some accustomed luxury would pro- vide for the dry cleaning of the older children's suits at least once during the winter, Little boys and girls of under 9 years should always wear clothes whch may be washed at home with soap and water and so far as possible these are best made of cotton. But serge of a good quality made into kilts for girls and sailor suits for boys is an economical and all round satis- factory sehool clothes material. Three suits apiece, two for every day and one for best, are liberal winter provision. One mother who has to plan skil- fully in order to make her time fit her • many duties reckons to wash one suit a week. In this way her children, two boys and one girl, wear their . clothes three weeks, but when the weather is particularly dusty, she finds that every other week is about the right space. These Iittle suits are trimmed with white cotton "braid and this serves as a pretty fair indicator of the condition. 'When the braid is grimy it's high time for a visit to the washtub. Careful home washing with fine white soap, a little ammonia and warm water does not damage serge in any way, and now after six months of steady wear this little trio of school folk look as trim as they did in OctoTter when their :outfitss were new. i It may be mentioned too, that only one bad cold stands against this family, a. single ease of pinkeye, which was not transmitted to the other children, and Viten days absent from school since it I began in September. e . FISH FROM AFAR. .•4. Army'Supplies of 'Fish Now Obtained From Canadian Sources. Tommy's ration of fish now' comes '.'rom the Land of the Maple Leaf,; and It is estimated that the Canadian fish . markets benefit each week by the col- ossal sum of £100,000, says London Answers. The large stores of frozen fish ar- rive daily at our docks, and Atlantic cod and haddock, Pacific halibut, and fresh -water fish pass under the vigil- ant eye of our military authorities be- fore being pronounced as sound and fit for consumption by Britain's defend- ers. .. The Canadians themselves contend that these supplies reach us as sound and as fresh as our own North Sea produce. The Great Lakes, too, yield their share to the market. Here, when the pike and white fish are caught, they are placed upon the ice which,. during the cold season, covers the sur- face of the lakes, and are thus frozen quickly to a temperature from 20 to 30 degrees below zero—that is, from 52 to 82 degrees of frost! They are packed and shipped at once to Eng- land, This experiment has been in work- ing order since the beginning of last December, and has proved a very great success. Our rather scanty fish supply at home—thanks to the wily Hun and treacherous mine—is insuffi- cient for our Army's needs.
