HOME FROZEN DISHES
Hello, Homemakers! Once t h e
'idbg days" are upon us we begin
seerehing for cooling foods to make
the hekt more bearable. Home -froz-
en salads and appetizers can be very
tempting indeed. Home-made ice
cream as cooling and refreshing --
nourishing • and delectable—it's no
troubleto serve, and simplicity itself
to make, with the help of your re-
frigerator freezing trays.
There .are really five different types
ot` ices—sherbets, mousses, parfaits',
ice cream and ices?
Unfortunately a great many home-
makers purchase a refrigerator, and
without asking any questions or read-
ing directions, attempt home frozen
dishes.' 'Dhey place the mixture in
the tray and then turn the dial to
freezing point—w1hieh is the wrong
method! True, .the mixture will
freeze, but it will be full of large
icy articles—or layers of ice—be dis-
appointingly tasteless.
For a smooth, rich, true flavor and
fast freezing, the following rules
should be closely followed:
1. The finger-tip control 'of your
refrigerator should be turned to the
coldest point at least 40 minutes be-
fore the ice-cream mixture is stirred
up.
• 2. The bowl and ingredients of the
mixture should be thoroughly chilled
before mixing. The food will then
freeze more quickly.
• 3. If you .want an especially per-
fect dash, do not try to freeze ice
cubes when freezing ice cream, sher-
bets, etc.
4. Wetting the bottom of the tray
causes the tray to freeze to txhe shelf;
in the unit and so tends to hasten the
freezing.
5. Use recipes tested for the elec-
tric refrigerator.

Value
TISEMENTS
• Experts can roughly estimate the value of a
product by looking at it. More accurately, by hand-
ling and examining it. Its appearance, its texture,
the "feel" and the balance of it all means something
to their trained eyes, and fingers.
•' But no one person can be an expert on steel,
brass, wood, leather, foodstuffs,' fabrics, and all of
the materials that make up a list of personal pur-
chases. And even experts are fooled, sometimes, by
concealed flaws and imperfections.
• " There is a• surer index of value than the senses
of sight and touch . . . knowledge of the maker's
name and for what it stands. Here is the most cer-
tain method, except that of actual use, for judging
the value of ..any manufactured goods.. Here is the
only guarantee against careless workmanship, ' or
the use of shoddy materials.
• This is one important reason why it pays to
read advertisements and to buy advertised goods.
The product that _is advertised is worthy of your
confidence.

QUESTION BOX
Mrs. D. 4..asks: "Is there anyway
of beating egg whites, so that they
will be very foamy?"
Answer: If you adds a pinch of
salt—before beating—they will foam
up, and be less likely to become wa-
tery (if left standing).
Mrs. A. L. L. asks: "Should a tin
'hiss' when opened?"
Answer: This usually means there
is a good vacuum in the tin. The
`hiss' comes when air rushes in to
fill the vacuum. However, if either
end of the `tin is bulged, the hissing
may be . an outrush of gas from the
tin—arid suggest that the contents
are- •spoiled. Vacuum packed' coffee
is the -exception.

Beware {
Poison Ivy
(By C. A. M. Black in
Standard)
Sally went up to the Laurentians
for a week or ten days. But only
two days after her departure, the tele-
phone rang and the caller was . Sally!
"Come on over," she said, "I'm a
ruined woman!"
"Good grief, Sally, what's happen-
ed? I thougl}t you intended tn stay
a week."
"I thought so, too," answered Sal-
ly, grimly. "But I'm back and I wish
I'd never gone. Three days ago I
wasn't a bad -looking weeche But you
ought to see me now! I'll never be
the same again."
And indeed she was a sorry sight.
Gone was her school -girl complexion.
Where her face was not covered by
an angry, fiery rash, clumps of water
lien logk like the tag
winter. Her eyes: were
bynswellings. Moreov-
er, her a and legs 'were in like
condition.
Poison ivy had certainly done a
good job of work!'
"It's not only the looks of me,"
groaned Sally, peering disconsolately
into her hand mirror, "but it scratch-
es like the seven years 'itch. And all
those blisters throb and pain abom-
inably.' Why on earth I had to select
a clump of poison ivy as the spot for
a sun bath, I don't know?" '
"Well, wiry did you?"
""Because I didn't know the stuff
wsls poison ivy! I wouldn't know it
if I met it in the Sahara Desert! I've

Testinee Brain Waves
,After a briefcall at the office of
Squadron Leader .McPherson, officer
in command at No. 1, I.T.S., I went
to the office of Flight Lieutenant C.
B. Stewart. This brilliant young doc-
tor, a graduate of Dalhousie Univer-
sity in the Maritimes, is carrying on
Dr. Banting's work, but he took time
off to guide me personally through
the , building where the atircraftmem
are tested, mentally and physically,
to see whether they will be able to
stand the strain of flying and fighting
five miles above the earth.
•
As we started down the hall, 'we.
met .a young man whose appearance
was startling. He looked as though he
had just come from the hands of an
electrician: r^Five long wires • hung
down: from 'his head. Twp' of thegn
seemed to be soldered to the top of
his head, in among his hair, two more
were attached to.the back of his neck
and one hang from his lea ear. Lit-
tle patches of hair had been shaved
off and the wires attached' at impor-
tant points. 'Dr. Stewart explained
that the two in front were over the
part of the brain controlling muscu-
lar co-ordination and the two on the
neck indicated the place where the
optic, nerves entered the brain'. The
one on the ear was just a ground
'wire. By using a complicated elec-
trical xnacthine, it was possible to
measure the brain waves of the man
who now looked like something that
had wandered out of a cartoon com-
edy.
The Young aircraftman was told to
enter a small room and lie quietly on
a bed. The wires were attached to
binding posts on the wall.' He was
told that he wasn't to think of eine
thing exciting, such as an, evening
with .ham best girl, but to try to -cpme
as near as possible to thinking about
nothing at ail'.
Out in the next room, the Flight
Lieutenant touched .a switch. A broad
ribbon of white. paper .began,to creep
over a table. On, it were four wavy
lines, drawn by pens actuated by the
wires from the head of the man whom
I could see 'through "the window, lying
peacefully on the bed.
This patient was normal. The wavy
lines had no sudden variations. His
electro -encephalogram showed that
he had passed one more test.
A few are abnormal: Suddenly. the
black line .takes a jump to one side.
An aircraftman with a 'record like
that may take a fit up in the air some
clay. He won't be rejected on that
one test alone, but the' chances are,
that the titheand expense ';31' training

lIn the next room, a large cylindrical
structure stood in the centre of the
room.. It looked like the bottom of
silo. The -outside was reinforced with
teel and planking and large metal
1.Ipes ran around it. A porthole of.
heavy 'glass was built on one side and
there wrI.s a desk with 'a microphone
near the windrow.,
Dr. Stewart opened a door and we
entered a circular, room, lined with
burlap. Seats for ten persons raa
around the aides and in the ce ,e•e
was a table with a chair where the
doctor sat.
THis strange room is used to test
eh? _ ability to stand high altitudes,
endrom, which means sumac poison
plant. The poison sap is a non-vol-
atile oil found in all parts .of the
plants, roots and stalk and leaves.
Some people seem to have an im-
munity against the poison and can
handle the plant without effect, but
it is as well not' to rely upon this ad-
vantage. --It has happenedthat those
who have escaped for years are sud-
denly dismayed to find that the sup-
posed immunity -'has gone with the
wind. Other people have an intense
allergy and burst into a rash at the
slightest touch of any part of the
plant. Usually, while the poisoning
is most unpleasant, sufferers recover
end have no scars or after-effects.
But there have been cases where
death has resulted in the cases of
abnormally sensitive -skinned individ-
uals. It is as well to take no chances
and to keep at a distance, just as one
would with a skunk. Poison ivy is
one of Nature's children endowed
with the power of enforcing respect
through fear. And because it' has
Gestapo characteristics, it is a wise
precaution to know its appearance.
Proper Treatment
The first symptom of poisoning is
an itchy skin. Unless this is treated
at once, the white blisters will fol-
low. But if immediate remedial 'meat.
sures are taken the spread of the
poisoning can be checked and the us-
ual advanced stages averted.
At any suspicion of contact with
the plant, wash the part involved in
lukewarm running water, using a
plentiful lather of. suds ftom any good
non-irritant soap. The object is to
get iid of the oil which is most per-
sistent, so washing in still water is
not advisable. Dry the surface of the
skin with soft lint or rleansing tis-
sue. Then dab on rubbing alcohol
by means of a soft pad. Follow this
with an application of a two to four
per cent wartreesolution of perman-
ganate of potash to neutralize the
poison; ' this leaves a brown color
which can be washed off with a weak
solution of oxalic' acid.
If the .hands have been affected, re-
member not to put them near the face,
until the poisoning has been stopped,
otherwise the trouble will be spread
unnecessarily. On no account scratch
the itching skin. Never put ointment
on the blisters when the' acute stage
has been reached'. And no bandages
should be used, for these tend to
spread the infection to adjoining sur-
faces. .
Sone people employ carron oil as a
renxerly; and if the itching continues
they sprinkle bjcarbonate of soda ev-
er the skin already moistened by the
carron oil.
CaII a Doctor
Still another first aid measure is a
lotion made of 1% drams of ferric
chloride, 1% ounces of alcohol and 3
ounces of water, shaken 'together, un-
til the ferric chloride is dissolved.
One individual swears by a 5 per
cent solution, of ferric chloride in 50
per cent grain alcohol; and another
in a solution of one part of ferrous
sulphate in. 5 parts an 'Water, Either
of these is supposed to neutralize
the poison. If applied to the skin be-
fore .going into the woods, protection
against infection is given.
A good prev''entative, recommended
by the U.S. Public'tealth service, is
vanishing cream' mixed with 10 per

where air ..gets thin and oxygen
scarce. Usually a class of ten takes
the test at once,,twith a doctor keep-
ing watch through the window from
outside a nd giving instructions
through a loudspeaker, while another
do.otor•sits at the centre table. The

which the air is: similar to that in-
side the circular room, • 5,000 feet

There is no prarticul'ar sensation
felt by the person inside the tank, but
above 10,000 feet, or two miles, the
nails turn a bluish tinge, ;which is al-
so apparent in the lips. The brain '
seems unimpaired, but that, is an il-
lusion. To prove this, the aircraft- '
glen are given simple little problems
to do—to change a sentence into a
common code, or something of the
kind. Like a car driver with a few
drinks, who thinks he can drive as
well as ever, they don't know they
axe making mistakes. As the air :s
exhausted, the )margiin of error aris-

Another teat follows.. A rubber -oxy-
gen mask is fitted' over the nose and
r.,outh. A tube hangs down from it
and the end of this is •Iugged into a .
small pipe which rune around the in- •
side, of the wall. With a supply of
oxygen available, the teats show nor-
mal brain operatign no matter how

ressive lesson, thoroughly taught.
43 Degrees Below Zero
I wondered what would happen next
as Dr. Stewart led me into another
room. Young mein were elimbin4g out
91 flying suits of various, , types, and
hanging them on hooks along the
;all. Equipment, as well as men,
moat stand the tests.
The Flight Lieutenant opened a
door similar to :those on large refrig-
erators and we entered a cold cham-
ber. The temlpetature txbere was said
to be 20 above zero, but we didn't
stay long, going on into a second and
a third, through large insulated doors
each time. The second refrigerator
chamber was kept around zero and the
third' at 20 below. In ordinary summer ,
clothes, it began to feel chilly, but
such temperatures are . encountered
in high flying.
In the third refrigerator room there
was a Metal ohamber, somewhat like
a large concrete mixer, oaten outside
With an asbestos eo npound. My
guide unscrewed a circular door like
e, big porthole and the two of us
climbed inside. There was only room
for two at a ,time there, and a cold
artificial wind blew conthivall'y. Dr.
Stewart pointed to a thermometer;
which registered 43 degrees below
zero, a temperatures encoui tered four
or five miles, above the earth. It is
possible to exhaust, the air from this
chamber also.
We did not stay, long. As we came
out again through the -various cham-
bers, even. zero temperature felt
w arm.
