We spent about two weeks in these great foreats in the last two years at different times, one week in Yosemite National Park and from Yosemite to see the big trees you have to drive about 35 miles to what they call the Marifosa Grove, To us' it was -a won- derful grove; one tree _in so large that a paved noadngdes through the base of it. Then we drove about 250 miles to General Grant and Sequoia National • Forests and of course we viewed the above mentioned giants. It gives one a . glorious feeling to breathe in that pure mountain air and see nature in the raw. We camp- ed right among these trees and at dawn it was a great sight to look up at thetops of these trees which were all glowing like candles from the morning sun while wewere down. in. :the shade. Wild 'life,. too, is abundant—bear, deer, etc. We saw as many as twelve • deer at once; also lots of bear, large and e;inall. We saw the bear climb-. • ing trees and say they, can climb, but we never knew before that ,a bear backs down a tree. Of course these animals are all protected' by the gov- ernment There is a lot more could be said about these giant forests, but I' guess my letter is long enough. I forgot to mention though that the , bark of some of these giant trees is up to 24 Inches, thick. • Now, in closing; I would just • like tosay that it gave us one of the moat awininspiring thrills we have ever bad, to follow • and wander through the winding fern -decked trails of these giant forests.

The result 'was that a large proportion of the troops, raw lads from farm and behind - counter, came down with typhoid fever and many died as a oonsegnenee. In the Boer War,na couple of years later, more than 8;000 salters, t very flower, many of them, of Eg- llSh and other British -born boys suc- cumbed to the same malady. 4n fact_ more British soldiers died of the fever than from the rather accurate bun letnef our Boer brothers as we now call them. In the year 1910 the mortality rate of typhoid fever in Ontario Cities, was something over 50 per hundred thou- sand of ponulation. Many cities, had borne the tincury "of an epidemic on typhoid .fever and what was true of Ontario was true of the cities of east and west in Canada. The usual story was that in the winter ice or some- thing had disjointed or broken: the in- take pipe. The water users were drinking sewage. There arose a storm of indignation. Public opinion de- manded protection. As a result filtra- tion of the public Water -supplies was established. The use of chlorine 'ga was commenced. At the moment there is scarcely a town of any size in Canada; without its safe water sup- ply. .Typhoid fever, except for the isolated case is rarely seen. The mor- tality -rate of fifty and over is now about one and one-half. What a triumph for sanitary measures! The foregoing is not all of the story of typhoid fever control. In the Great War, of the millions enrolled in Britain's armies, the, number of typhoid cases- was infinitesimal. The death -rate from this cause was the, lowest heretofore seen among armies. One reason for this was because Bri- tish. troops were inoculated with the triple vaccine that affords protection against the entire group of enteric fevers. . In the training camps in Canada, there was an almost complete im- munity against this group of disease benanse of the universal inoculation with protective vaccine. In the Nia- gara camp and again at Camp Bor- den, -throughoat the entire period of training, extending for about 4 years, not a single case of typhoid originat- ed among offieers or other ranks. Disease in armies, due to the dis- cipline, is much readier of control than disease in civil life. Our people are singularly restive under restric- tive measures. A trifle of army would materially assist in rid- ding whole communities of communi- cable disease.

Dr. Chase's Ointment EAT FM FOR REA, Swift ,once wrote; "Fish should swim thrice . . . first it should &W1* in the seas WO you mind me?) then it should swim in batter, and at last sirrah, it should swim in good clean et." Dispense with the claret, for this would not be in keeping with our effort to help the housewives of Can- ada stretch thei•r food dollar to tile limit. It has been our aim, however, to keep you- in touch with seasonal foods . . . foOds that will ,give neu; the biggest return for your dollar in health. From an economic, as well as from a health standpoint, it Is desirable that fish should have an important place on our bill -of -fare. ' nne too strongly emphasized in for working people of all .cla s, those who work with their beads as well as those who work with their hands, fish is an economical source of... energy necessary to enable therin to carry on their work; and that for children: and young people it furnishes the yery materials that are needed to enable them to grow healthy and strong. I. Fish, as you know, is one of the important protein foods. It makes a pleasing variation of the daily diet and should be included at leak twice a week in your tuna. There Is a wide variety to choose from: Fresh or frozen, filleted, boneless,, dried, canned, pickled, cured and, smoked. Fish are very easy to digest — a fact of particular importance inthese days wthen so many people are of sedentary habits. Large fish are, as a rule, better when steamed or boiled; medium siz- ed ones should be baked, or split op- en and broiled, and small come should be fried. White,fish, trout, mackerel, and small cod should be split down the back and broiled whole. If pre- ferred, cutoff the head and tail. Hali- but and. salmon should be cut into inah slices and turned often while broiling., To clean fish: Wipe with a cloth wet in salt waternand dry on a fish towel. Season: Oily fish need only teltand pepper., but dry meated fish shoould be "'spread with oil before broiling. TJse a double wire broiler greased well with salt pork rind. Put thickest edge of fish next to the mid- dle broiler and turn often. With split fish, sear the flesh side first and then turn. The fire should be hot and clear, The time of cooking will vary with the thickness of fish. When ready to serve, loosen the fish from broiler on - each side. Open broiler, slide fish on platter, flesh side uppermost Spread with butter, salt and pepper. Garnish with butter cream and a bor- der of potato balls. There are any number, of sauces to be served!, too, with scalloped fish, creamed, also baked fish, but these shall be dealt with later , Start to -day planning to serve fish in your "weekly menu.

Choose a steak two inches thick, and weighing from two to four pounds according to the size of your family. Sprinkle with salt on both sides, and let stand for one-thalf au hour, then drain and pat dry with absorbent pa- per. Put into a pan of suitable size, one-fourth of a cup of bacon fat, the juice of a large lemon (the Spanish add a cup of non-alcoholic sherry but that was in. the good old days and Canadian mothers 1 know would like it much better without). Let all beat together, then lay in the ,fish steak, cover closely, and allow barely to simmer, for twenty or thirty minutes or until done. The moment a fork can beinserted between flesh and bone, the fish is cooked. Serve with shoestring parsnips and, paprika gar- nish.

The interest centred on matters of local importance ----he condition. of the toads, the location of nridges, the inadequacy of, grist mills, the price. of land 'and the (nudity and variety of the goods obtainable at the com- pany's, store were the matters of chief interest Col. Van Egmond was a leader in this party. In. 1833 he was agitating the Scotch settlere in the Township of Easthope, fan- ning their discontent and telling them that "if they wanted anything, they must glit for. it." . In -1835 Miran became anelectoral district and the people were celled on to, elect their first representative in the Legislative Assembly. Cap- tain Dunlop, a retired naval officer and a brother of "the Tiger," was op- posed by Col. Van Egmond. There were but 60 votes cast, 35 for Dun- lop and 25 for Van Egmond. Two years later, William Lyon Mac- kenzie called on his adherents to rise In armed rebellion for the pur- pose of obtaining reforms which with , a little patiencencould have been ob-.- talned ,by constitutional and orderly method*. At the outbreak of the rebellion Col. Van Egmond , hastened. to York to join the rebels, but he failed to take any followers fromnthe Huron 'Tract. The militia was called Out— Dr. Dunlop was lieut-nolonen Mr. Prior was the major; companies, were commanded ' by Lizars, Hyndman, Gooding, Luard and others; Edouard Van .Egationd served: in Capt.

Accent On Accessories Clothes do not Make 'the, man—so we have been told ever since we were old enough to 'wear 'garments. Nor do accessories and garnishes make thefood we eat—another truism that We have heard much of since Wewere old enough to cook: On both of these scores we have a little corner of our minds which says contradictorily, "Maybe clothes don't make the Man, and maybe garnishes -don't -make the roast, but they go a long way toward making life More interesting." We have to bow tp the part of our, mind which won't accept a truism as wholly true. Then we start to think of food without g,arnisinnent, plain and .unembellisthed.. It would stillbe food,'. no. ,cloulat, but the joy of 'eating. it would be gone. We wouldn't feel a. little wave of pleasure at seeing a lovely dish appear before us, color- ful and attractive in arrangement. We wouldift think of our menu as a col- or picture into which each, food must blend. We wouldn't have the joy of achieving something new and differ- ent in the way of a garnish that *bind make our linen:din say, "Susan Is so original! I wish I could think of things that a million other people hadn't thought of before me!" No, food wouldn't be the same without the little touches, the furbelows, the plus gestures, the added attractions. Cook- ery wouldn't be fun if We didn't put the accent on access.oriern For Soups—creamed ones especial- ly—croutons, of course, pop ,corn if you like, oheese toast, grated raw car- rots, toasted shredded almonds, rice krispies, .salted whipped cream, grat- ed cheese or tiny cheese cubes, whin - pea' cream' cheese, finely chopped green pepper and the good old stand. bys, parsley and paprika. Be .sure to keep your mind's eye color -conscious and accent your light soups with bright garnishes, your gay soups 'with light garnishes—grated raw carrots on potato soups, salted whipped cream on cream.' of tomato. For Salads—Tiny pimiento rings. or strips, finely chopped green peppers or chives, shreds of Swiss cheese, all bran, match sticks, of carrots, wafer thin slices of sweet pickle, slices of hard cooked eggs or finely riced yolk, grated raw beets, nuts whole, shred- ded or chopped, watereresse curly en- dive, tomato slices, thin strlps, of truffles, celery, hearts, chicory, . tiny cubes of cream cheese, anchovy t3.1; lets, lemon with fish salads, .and pelt- ley—lordg may it wave!

Dairy Farmers' Account Book The Dairy Farmers'. Account Book which has been prepared for use in the operationsconnected with the eost study of milk in Ontario was in-. Mated through the activities of the four milk commodity associations in Ontario, namely, the Ontario Concen- trated Milk Producers' Association, the Ontario Cream Patrons' Association, the Ontario Cheese Patrons' Assochn tion, and the Ontario Whole Milk Pre- dueers League, The purposes of this milk study, asnoetlined by the Ontario Milk Producers" Cost of Milk Produc- ed Committee, may be grouped under three heads:, - 1. To determine milk 'production, costs in all sections of 'Craton° and for all markets, in order that the various .milk producer groups may' deal More effectively with their mar- keting 1problems. • 2. To assemble unbiased data rela- tive to the milk producing industry, and the economic conditionsof those engaged i milk production, in order that the requirements of these con- stituents may be dealt with more In- telligently. , I 3. To • focus greater attention on the detail of dairy norm •organization, management, expense, and revenue, and through the study to reveal means whereby dairY farmers! may increase the net returns from their biminess., Effects of Drought For -the first. timein many years a large part of Old Ontario was visited. by a severe drought last summer. The more obvious effects of this lack of rain has been, -of 'course, the curtail- ment of crop yields, but there were other serious , effects winch were not so • obvious during the dry spells bat are showing up .now. 'According to a report made by Prof. O. McConkey of the Ontario Ag- ricultural College, "farmers in some Sections of the province have been experiencing difficulties because •the feeds grown on their faints are too low inthe essential minerals to main- tain healthy stock. Animals Show symptoms of mineral deficiency trou- bles by depraved appetite, Le., .chew- ing bones and sticks, lack of thrift - nese, decline, in milk production, and breeding troubles. • An analysis of 1.05,samples of nay from different farms in Ontario show- ed that the protein content ranged. from 5 per cent. to 21.75 per cent. and the calcium content from .22 to 3.99, wbildthe phosphorus content ranged from .06 to .22.
