production was but 45 per tent,- of
the normal produetion (and this, re-
-member, never was enough for her
ponsumption). After deducting the
amount necessary for seed, the 1917
produetion was one-third ,Fraisce'e

Food never has been wasted in

In 1917 the Frentle home fbod

"What IS a doughnut?" "ate ques-

"where is a doughnut?" But few
people . Au)* know hdw to make

is a matter of substance, not shirk
It ie Perituite, not persiflage. It must
be golden brown; bot from the 'deep
lard; not norm(' (Sugar is a crime);
smelling like atm and mother and
Thanksgiving perfhmes like besting
of turkeys; simmering of .miece pies
and browning of sugar cookies. A
doughnut ***6.y be made like a little'
man and fried. until he winks at lit-
tle boys who eat them like cannibals,
but the usual form of -the doughnut
is a rim of ecstacy around a hole of
hope, The hole in a doughnut is not
,an accident. No doughnut may pro-
perly be fried to Perfection unless
around a hole, because the. solid
doegh. will not do as well unless it
has room to. grow beautiful in the
cooking, There is ..,alwa,ye a reason
in old-fashioned housekeeping. A
doughnut is as deaf elerfect as is
mince pie. And Mince pie le what

Dinner by Daylight.
It seems incredible that anyone
should object to the! very Sensible
daylight saving plan whereby so.
;many thousands of wcirkers are sre-
Sent-9d withextra hours of outdoor
en4mtinent for all the outdoor
months, to say nothing of the saving
to the nation in coal, gas and elec-
tricity. But there are always objec-
tors to every movement, and the iob-
Jectoes in this case appear .to be the
women who like to give dinner par-
ties. Even a "little dinner" of six
or ,eightdpeople is apt to last over
an hour, or an hour and a half of
tinie and. hostesses 'claim. that it is
impossible to make the dinner table
look eight by daylight. Flowers, sil-
ver and table, decorations have not
'the mind effect, viewed by tb.e rays
lof the setting BUD that they have un-
der the Elubdued gleam of shaded
. candles; neither do the women
!guests look quite as charming by dy-
, lug daylight as they would by candle-'
!light or the soft rays of indirect elec-
tric light. And the peofokingenart
of it is that Canadian servants will'
not accede gracefully to ouch a vital
change in the domestic' schedule—
:and in their hours of freedom—as
.eight .o'clock or half -past eight
'o'clock dinner,sneh as Is the rule it
England, where -daylight lasts lite,
would involve. Indeed, a newlY
established dinner hour of , 8.61)

Manyi Are Disloyal.
It is .ci{tite within bounds to say
that in th.e armies of pan -Germany,
of every three soldiers there is one
,who certainly -doesynot desire to
make use of his weapons against the
Entente; and one who, on the cop-
trary, will joyfully make use -of
them, as soon as he shall be clearly
cimvinced of the necessity, to mist
in the destruction of pan -Germany,
whose continuance would perPetuate
his own slavery and that of his
people.
This is a fact ot tremendous im-
portance to the allies,
The Berlin staff feels so far from
. re of ;the Slav and Latin troops
that it dares not use them in dense
masses on the western front. They
are, for the 1310St part, -either sent to
Turkey, or utilized In the garrisons
of the interior, or mobilized in the
munition factories pf pan-Gerroany,
Thus the majority �f them are so
eituated as to make an insurrection-
ary movement .on. their part parti-
cularly effective. It is for the Allies
to heve the Intelligence to d� what-
ever may be necessary to make the
most of it—Andrew Cheradame
