Ilome Canning of Cherries :Cherries are now on the market— big., sweet, meaty, black Bings and Lamberts; sweet, red-cheeked, white Royal Anne's; ruby -red, sour red fruit of alontmorency and Morello varieties and bright red Riehmonds or lWindsers: The flavor and texture of these varieties differ •greatly and their uses, too, are many. 'Cherry pie is so delicious now when the fruit is fresh, why. not can them for pies in winter? The following method of preserving them with all their flavors is suggested by the' Fruit Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Cherries Canned Solid Pack Wash .and remove pits from sour, red cherries. 'Cover and allow to stand in a cool place overnight, . when some juice will have been extracted. Pack in sterilized pint jars, using all the juice. 'Put on rubber rings and seal loosely. Sterilize 30 minutes in a water bath, or 75 minutes in a steam pressure 'cooker. Cherry Mock Olives Select and wash firm ripe cherries of either black or red varieties. Pack, unpitted and with stems attached, in sterilized jars. Cover with cold vin- egar mixture prepared as follows: One cup water, 1 cup strong vine- gar, add 3 tablespoons salt, 3 table- spoons brown sugar, 1/z oz. stick cin- namon and 2 'tablespoons whole cloves. Tie spices in cheesecloth and boil all together 5 minutes; cool and remove s pies. Pour this mixture over cherries and seal, using sterile rubbers and lids. Do not use for at least three weeks. Or try some different recipes using, flesh cherries. Cherry Crumbly Pudding Make a crumbly mixture using cup sugar, 3 cup flour, 1-3 cup but- ter. Work together until well blend- ed. In a casserole put 3 cups pitted cherries (either red or black). Stir one-half cup of the crumb mixture through them and sprinkle the re- mainder,eker the top and bake thirty minutes in 'a moderate oven, Serve hot or cold. Serves six.

What Laura Secord Did (Continued from Page 4) Morgan Lewis and a major apparent- ly by himself, collected a band of kindred spirits and began raiding loyalist settlers on the Canadian side. On the 19th two of his men were cap- tured by FitzGibbon. In the course of these raids Chapin picked up some information about the base at De (bu's, and was one of the most in- sistent in urging upon United States staff officers the project about which 'On the 16th of June Dr. Chapin, wh:o had been made a captain by Morgan Lewis was so unenthusias- tic, He, of all people, would be a- ware of the plans for attack, and eager to discuss them.

CANADIAN NATIONAL v7 rYr2? r�rJ`lh .ttn4wlrSal�w,R;iliY^ On the 21.st of June FitzGibbon ar- rested a disloyal settler near Fort Erie and picked up another of Chap - tion. That there should be some ra- theil reckless conversation concern- ing it is entirely in keeping with what we know of at least one of its advocates, Dr. C. Chapin, of Buffalo. in's men. A participant's contempor- ary account of this affair shows that Chapin, with his main force, was at that very moment riding down the river road towards Fort George. The evening was' wet and chilly. He must have been irritated by the loss of one of his raiders and full of thoughts of his forthcoming revenge. Remem- bering that the 13th Regiment of U. S. Infantry was stationed at Queen- ston on that day, it is only logical to suppose that Chapin would stop there to dine, and incidentally to confide in the officers of the 13th. Plans had at last been submitted to the acting commander, Brigadier -General Boyd, he would say, for the long -desired expedition against De Cou's house, plans based on Chapin's information and calling for him to act as guide. if the officers in Queenston did not hear of the plan from Chapin there were other sources from which they could learn of it. :If the orders were signed on the 23rd, of June, arrange- ments must have been well under way by the 21st, for they were not con- summated without delay owing to Boycl's desire to evade responsibility it' the expedition failed. Even while Dearborn was still on a sick -bed the acting commander insisted on get- ting Dearborn's written approval. Broadly speaking, then, the known circumstances warrant the assump- tion that United States officers in Queenston on the evening of the 21st of June had knowledge of the expe- dition to he sent ,out so soon. Yet this. is the only assumtption neces- sary if FitzGibbon's testimony is to be taken at its face value—that, and the very easy assumption that one or more of these officers was careless enough to let his knowledge leak out within the hearing of Laura Secord. The extent to which Laura's mes- sage influenced the disposition of FitzGihhon's forces and those with which he, was co-operating cannot be cxac:iy known, in view of the secrecy which had to be maintained regard- ing her expedition. It is pertinent to point out, however, that the 24th of Juno information could have been of little value if FitzGibbon had net had the assistance of a considerable party of Indiaiis. 'Phe presence of these allies and their readiness to engage may have been due to pure accident, but could it not be more. reasonably considered the result of plans based on expectation of the United States expedition? Indeed, the long trip from the• Ten Mile Creek on the lake front, where Colonel Claus locates the Indians, could scarcely have been covered so expeditiously and an am- bush prepared so efficiently without previous definite arrangements. That there was an anilbush on the mountain road' just before it reached ,Beaver Dams, r'ontenvporai* refer- ences by FitzGibbon and others shcsw very clearly, and they' strongly sug- gest, though they do not explicitly mention, Britiah irnowiedge, of the ' HOUSE DRESSES Made from guaranteed Prints; good patterns; good styles; good fit.

SPECIAL 255 TEWART BROS., Seaforth United State attack before the ar- rival of the first information specifi- cally referred to by l"itzGibhon. Lieut. Colonel Bisshopp, in command in the Niagara peninsula, reporting the Beaver. .Danis affair to 13rigadier- General Vincent, said, "To Major De- Haren, for his speedy movements to the point of attack and etetution of the arrangements I had •previously made with him, I am very much obliged." It is odd that these "ar- rangements" should fit so perfectly into the operation of repulsing a strong attack upon De Cou's house, unless they had been made with such an attack in view. Secondly, Captain William Hamilton Merritt writes that Boerstler, the commander 'of the American expedition, "got caught in the trap he intended for the others." The figure of a "trap" is hardly applicable to any disposition of British .forces that could have been made between seven a.m, on the 24th of June and the fughtiug an hour or so later, and is suggestive rather of arrangements made on information received much earlier. Third*, Cap- tain Alexander Hamilton of the British forces in a letter written shortly after the event'says: "They determined on attacking us there,.'but from 'our intelligence we were again beforehand with them and attacked them on their way up," This surely does not sound in the least like a reference to inform'ataipn.Ae ,i;4' ed af- ter the United States •llitl$ * a in- contact ncontact with the defenders; indeed, it definitely suggests ithe worldnlgg" St a spy system, and Hamilton might readily have supposed '6h- nev brought by Laura •Secor4 bo haul been supplied by a regular spy. Altogether it does not seem at all necessary to conclude that FitzGib- bon was lying or su'ff'ering from lapse of memory- when he wrote, less than seven years later, that Laura Secord "did . . . convmumicate . . . in- formation of an intended attack. . This information was substantially correct, and a detachment' did march for the Beaver Dam oft the morning of the second day after the informa- tion was given." The author of the Peel Hist'orieal Series is •particularly- anxious that justice should he done to this early Canadian heroine, for the reason, among others, that through her i fa er'slsettlement in 1806 on the bar of the Credit as lessee of the Government House tavern, she niay fairly be regarded as a dau:ghterl, pf Peel. • Cold Drinks For Hot Days COLD DRINKS FOR HOT DAYS Milk drinks claim the distinction of being both refreshing and nour- ishing. In other words they are not only thirst quenchers but valuable food, an ideal.com!bin'ation for hot summer days when appetites are apt to lag and there may be 'little desire for solid feods. The natural flavor of milk makes it a most palatable drink when serv- ed ice-cold. Some pretfler the tang of 'fresh buttermilk to that of skveet milk, while milk drinks, such as the folloifiing, made by the addition of yrups and flavorings are also quite p,rpular. Chocolate Milk Shake 4 squares (ounces) chocolate (melt- ed ever hot water) Or si.'t cup cocoa Few grains salt 1 to 11/2, cups sugar 11, cups boiling water.

Orange, lemon, pineapple, strawberry, raspberry or fig syrup may he made by using half as muc!r sugar as fruit or fruit juice. In the case of berries, cover with water. Boil 5 minutes and strain through cheese cloth. Canned fruit or jam may be used to make the syrup. With most syrups' a few drops of lemon juice improves the flavor.
