Mrs. W. C. asks: "Is it dangerous
to use real sour milk in baking?" ,
Answer: Sour milk only has a
limited amount of 'acidity but since
other bacteria grow in separated sour
milk the, baked product will have an
undesirable flavour and may notbe
of good texture. '

.Although that dual purpose has

such a type --of fighting machine they
would have felt that they had broken
faith.
Qpportunity Will Come .
Nor is there 'any doubt that failure
to aim at a full offensive share in
the battles of decision would have
brought a storm of protest from Can-
ada; and if ,by some strange quirk in
war's luck.thechance does not come,
every Canadian shock -trooper will
know a soldier's heart -break.
, But if anything is sure in this war,
their opportunity will come.
The mistakes, gird triumphs of the
pact are often the best guides avail
able whereby a Strategist can plan
an army or a campaign. Canada'•s
array planners were tank - minded
years before the lessons of this war,
and they successfuily resisted old-
style customs and obsolete doctrines
when war.struck. But in planning
the presenCanadian Corps, Defence
Minister Col. J. ,,L., Ralston, and Gen-
erals McNaughton and Crerar, cer-
tainly, remembered events of the black
spring of 1918. They adopted the
same power -building policy. •
Striking Parallels', Exist
There are striking parallels .con-
cerning the Canadian • Corps and the
-grave situation in the griin spring of
19181 -which preceded ,victory. In
March, When the British Fifth Army
Was bent, and almost broken„ three
of the four Canadian Divisions. were
held in reserve. They were held out
of the line and out of the attrition.
They were rested, freshened, refitted,
and made ready for August 8th when
the last war's tide came` to that ine-
vitable 'turn.
The story 'of. how the Canadians
'were ffien ',repairer for:distant lope
of final triumph, in the midst and face
of successive reverses and near -din -
asters, revealedthe sure. confidence
of the' British High Command that
the trend of war's fortunes actually
would -turn. It also revealed the Can.'
adieu foresightedness; the careful,
planning and intendive training that
,readied the Canadian. Corps as an of-
fensive formation for the opportunity.
When it finally .came, the Corps
spearheaded the assault and penetrat
ed twelve miles between the jump-off
at dawn anti noon. From then to the'
end they assaulted' and assaulted,
With brief spells between to change
front's, to bring up the guns, and to
take in the -.steady stream of rein-
forcements such fighting inevitably
demands.
the setbacks and defeats are suffered
by other troops. Again, the Canadian
Corps ie expecting attack, and stand-
ing ready to be thrown into a desper-
ate defensive fight, as they were 24
years ago._ '{Uniquely,( similar, too, is
the inspiring story. of how the Caea-
dian Corps has been trained; fitted.
equipped, and directly stointed to •
fight as a major hitting weapon while
standing on guard. They are once
again shock -troops waiting battle.
• The only feature absent is the hour.
And , whether they -must first fight- for
England's Life, on her vulnerable:
coasts, or whether they are given
their long -dreamed hope and are first
used as vital formation in the mount-
ing of a great British assault, the
order to "Stand to!", or "Attack!"'°
will find them ready.
Unpredictable 'and Resourceful
If their maiden fight is a defensive
battle, 'the Nazis' will find them dis-
mayingly unpredictable and resource-
ful. Their principal idea of defence
is to ,attack. They will not dig in
and stay dug in any longer than nee- .
,essary to get set to move and take'
the initiative. They are adept in •
tame tactics, !going Dither way. They
are enthusiasts • in close -combat,
street fighting, stealth • patrols, and '
the lone -hawk arts of the guerilla and
Corximando: >.Individually, they are as
clangorous to tackle, even unarmed,
as a wild oat. Para -troopers will
dread them. I would 'rather have
them on mys side than any soldiery •
have ever seen, or read, or heard
about in past ,ages.
If it is an offenhive operation, the.
grim stalwarts who made the old Can-
adian Corps great, will know from the
jump-off 'that their honor and their
splendor are in the care of fighting
hien as capable of shock -troop great-
ness as they were.

• Only` Time Factor Missing
At the present time. only one" tete
for is missing to make the spring of
194.2 almost identical with the spring
of 1918. The news is again black en-
ough, God knows, The ' Canadians'
`comrades -in -arms are •,; carrying the
fight and its- penalti'es. Once again,
through no fault of its own, its' lead-
-ership, or its government, the Cana-
dian Corps ris on the sidelines: while
