Wink, .our most nearly perfect food, may be varied in flavour by the addi- tion of fruit juices or ice' cream. Fruit beverages, too, have a definite place in summer mends. In making them, you need not depend' entirely on definite recipes but jest use your imagination a 'bit, combining the fruit juices on hand and sweetening them just until the tartness is taken off, no more. To be refreshing, fruit juices should not be too sweet. Homemak- ers can do a great deal to guide the tastes of the family towards other satisfying and most nutritive bever- ages. • Remember the bridegroom who told the best man that he was a lit- tle nervous because there were some things that he and his bride did not agree on. "For instance," he said, "she likes lemonade and I like iced coffee." "Oh, well,' replied the best man, "you'll soon like lemonade!" RECIPES Lemonade 2% cups corn syrup 1 quart ice water or carbonated water 1/2 'cup strained lemon juice 1/ teaspoon salt. Mix the corn syrup and ice water, add lemon juice and salt, and serve .with cracked ice. Fruit Frosted Milk - 1 cup milk • 3 tablespoons fruit juice (strawber- ry, raspberry, peach or pear) Chill well.. Orange Buttermilk 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup orange juice. Mix well. .Serve cold. Spiced Milk One' cup •milk. Season with nut- meg, coves, or cinnamon flavouring. Pineapple Dream One cup milk; 1 egg and. 1/2 cup pineapple juice. Honey Crush 4 ripe 'peaches 1/4 cup honey 2 cups orange juice 1/4 Cup lemon juice., Pare and crush peaches with hon- ey Add orange and lemon juice. Dilute with ice water. TAKE A TIP 1. when substituting molassesfor granulated sugar, one-half cup of molasses plus one-half teaspoon baking soda equals one-half cup granulated"sugar plus one and one- half teaspoons baking powder plus two tablespoons milk or water. 2. There is no difference between dark and light coloured corn syrup except that the light syrup has a very mild flavour and is preferred in such products as frostings due to its, color. ' 3. You may have noticed that we have never suggested tea or cof- fee for dinner, and now we serve "coffee milk" for breakfast. We hold the coffee pot in one hand, a pitcher of hot .milk in the other,. and pour them into the cue at the sani'e time. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. D. O. suggests: "Oatmeal Drink to refresh a hard-working .per- son." Add 1 cup uncooked oatmeal to a pitcher of ice cold water. Stir well 'and serve. (Mrs. J. C. M. asks: "A recipe Por an uncooked pie crust?'' Answer: Cornflake Apple Pie Roll about 4 cups of cornflakes un- til fine. To 1 cup of the fins crumbs add one-third cupmelted butter or baring fat and '4 cup melted honey. Mix in other fine .cornflakes. Pack in a greased pie plate. Chill. To 3 cups fresh warm applesauce add one teaspoon lemon juice and 1,:2 teaspoon ground, cloves. Add 2 tea- spoons plain gelatine which has been soaked in 1/4 cup cold water for five minutes. Stir untilgelatine is thor- oughly dissolved. Chill. Turn the chilled applesauce into the cornflake-lined pie plate. Whip 1/4 cup cream and fold in 1 tablespoon thin honey. Heap on top and serve. Mrs. D. S. asks: "Should milk be kept covered in a cold refrigerator?" CUT FINE FOR CIGARETTES' Answer:.. Yes. The circulating air may take up .moisture -which forms fi"osf on the freezing unit.

Everyone Relaxes An English lieutenant stretched himself in the easy chair. In a mat- ter of moments he was asleep. The othere found their own methods of relaxation. The ringing of the telephone, how- ever, brought them quickly to the alert. The operations officer took the message, his face unreadable and his.only comment a "Thank you" as it concluded. "Another signal., through," he told them. "It reads, 'Enetny driven southward. Am chasing'." "Good show, what?" said the Can- adian, who has gained some of the English idiom although he has lost nothing of his own accent. - "They've got a good moon for it, should get some of them," added the senior officer of the unit, a Royal Navy lieutenant. Square -jawed, stea- dy -eyed, he had shown no sign of re- laxing during the period of waiting. There was another settling •down, broken once more by the telephone's ring. Chased Them Horne "No further contacts. Stopped off " read the signal, this time, The port off which the British craft had stopped was an enemy port. The English officer murmured com- mendation: "Chased the so-and-so's right back home." "It looks as if you could go home, too," broke in the operations officer, "there just isn't going to be any fun for you to -night." - , The original force, outnumbered as it had been, had handled the situa- tion without need of assistance. .Fr.om...a.'Canadian .._offices_,._ L..ieuten- ant ;George F.

It was a short affair, for they turned tail right, away and streaked back for home. We chased after them, but couldn't get contact again.

MAITLAND,n•R.C.N.V.R., ON BRIDGE OF HIS SEA HORNET • Lieutep.,nt Helps to Save LivesWith New Valves (By Jay Franklin, in the :Montreal Standard) Shower :baths, grease interceptors for sewers, or safety valves for boil- ers and hot water systems won't. -win the war against the Axis powers—but the way things have happened in the three fields .have a bearing on what will win. Over at Fort Meade, in the Engin- eering Corps, some strange things have happened.' Many of them°can be traced to a new lieutenant. This fel- low left private life and $3,600 a'year for the $1,500 of a "second looey." Recently he has been upped one grade :-and—may sreeeive --a captaincy before - long. He has been approved for the second promotion. His promotions' are not the most important things in his life. Winning the war, takes pre- cedence. When the new citizens' army was being assembled and thrown into has- tily Constructed camps and barracks there were. several deaths by explo- sions of 'boilers. The lieutenant got busy on safety valves. He discovered faulty valves the cause of deaths. Following tests of all valves bought fee use orily one company out ofthe many in the line was found manufac- turing a valve that was safe. The' young fellow called in all the other manufacturers—many from the "big stuff" — and told them they were through. This caused. no end of trou ble—in his own division, in the Army circles, in the House and Senate and the late O.P.M. But he stuck to his guns. As' a consequence all the valve manufacturers not only revised their product for Army 'use but all their line of valves, • and for the past year there have been no deaths frons this unnecessary cause. One large corporation had been selling a grease interceptor to the Army for use in large kitchens. 1t was a cast-iron affair weighing sev- eral hundred pounds. At the time the orders came out from the War Pro- duction Board that priorities would hamper this type of article, the lieu- tenant got busy again. The result was be accomplished another production miracle. through the use of pottery ,and plastics and now the Army has. available a better interceptor—it has proven •a fine .thing and a healthful thing .Since much camp dysentery can be traced to faulty drainage. The new interceptor costs the government $50 in place of the previous $175. . New Shower - Steel is short. And steel was used in the construction of dish sterilizers.. In kitchens where 900 men are fed at the "first table" dish sterilization is mighty important. Through the ef- forts of the same lieutenant the Army will soon have another substitute- for the steel cabinet formerly' used. Bath tubs are about out fon the duration. This is a serious problem since the United States has been pic- tured as the "bath tub" heaven of the world. There have been several manufacturers in the field—the clean- ing field—with shower cabinets.. But these. used steel in varying quanta ties. However, priorities cantle along with regulations that -steel over 25 pounds could snot be used in shower construdtfon. A Washington repres- entative for a steel shower manufac- turer was called by the young lieuten- ant and given the sad news. He was asked about' substituting , a shower which used only a Minimum amount of steel. The representative questioned the availability of such a product. R0 put the lieutenant On the ptot4Irlth: the president of life company e, Jerk c m,pany-wand that official asked for three weelt,6, In ten days a '8416'4' + WAWaSiiington. rv'itin11 hos ';1#61ai ed the entire nation. The manufac- turing company made an arrangement With one of the big plastic board pro- ducers and went to work. The big plastic producer didn't pro- duce and now the company has a de- finite arrangement with the produc- ers of masonite and between them they are laying down a shower for about $2.4. Not only has this shower relieved a, critical Army and Navy need but it has also reduced some of the headaches for other housing ag- encies, both private and governmen- tal. Simply Produced . The.......question_... of.....fixtures...._b.ecame_ acute also. Brass, chrome, copper, etc.,. are on the shortage list. The lieutenant has been babying along some ,of the smaller pottery, plants in the nation and he now has an' eye- opening collection of perfectly suit- able bathroom fixtures' made from that industry. • In the case of the new showers, the lieutenant also ran the -blockade of some of, the really .important ri p- ple in the 'fixture and plumbing bus tress.—He faced experts in War Pro.- duction ro-duction Board sanctuaries. He was panned by Congressmen and Senators. He was cited to his superior officers all the way to theOffice of the Sec- retary of War.. One cbmpany placed a complaint before the Tru'man•' De- fence Investigating Committee against what they called his arbitrary deci- sion 'in favor of the .company which produced the right showers from the right materials. But no record of the fact or fancy can ,,produce anything except that the company which pro- duced used no politics, no pressure, spent no time condemning the gov- ernment and so-called government red tape—it simply ,produced and got business. More than 9,000 of these fabricated' shower cabinets have been sold fn the Washington area and they are in for unlimited business. The manufacturer can just about write his own ticket. Manufacturer's representatives say that these few examples can 'be' multi- plied a hundred -fold in service ordn- ance. Many of them hold no brief for the "big fellows" who have spent some two years figuring on competi- tive postings, tax savings, amortiza- tion, plant expansions, st$ek piles and all, the rest of what has happened. They say the `miracle of production" now so loudly hailed 'is due for the most part to these unseen and un- heard of accomplishments by thori- sands of little known corporations, companiea and partnerships—all part- ners now of :Elie: government.:. They get bitter over the political jockeying, pressure 'applications and influence exerted by the traditional leaders in all lines of manufacture rather than change any set technical procedure of production to fit the needs, let -alone the demands, of the armed forces.
