Wise h4usernakers will plan alterna >ttte foods; to do the job that ,meat does--"etick to your ribs;" a,s the men say, • In meat, you really get four food values: (1) protein for building up and 'repairing body tissues, (2) iron for fled blood cells and carrying oxy- gen, (3) fat for heat and energy, and (4) ,B vitamins for, good appetite and nerves. As you know, different foods = have different food values and some have protein, iron and B vitamin va- lues similar to those contained in meat. The following is a list of meat alternatives: Poultry, fish, eggs, cheese (which contains small amounts of iron), dried peas, beans, green veg- etables and potatoes. And don't for- get the meat "extras"—liver, heart, kidney, tripe and brain—so exception -- ally rich ie. minerals and under no government restrictions. After your busy day's work, an old favorite recipe easily prepared., and satisf=yingly flavored will keep your wheels and cogs in good repair. We suggest eggs: omelette, scrambled, poached, devilled,°•. scalloped, curried, fricassed, etc.; ,cheese—fondue, omel- ette, souffle, macaroni; fish — cakes, croquettes, creamed, ereoled, fried, baked, etc. ' • One important tip to remember in the cookery of alternatives such as cheese, eggs`and fish—use short cook- ing periods and low temperatures.

The use of extension core with_ your household electric appliances cut efficiency. If too many -appli- ances are attached to one plug or outlet; you run the danger of over- loading the circuit and blowing a fuse., 2. Clean your old playing cards with- out leaving a sticky surface by us- ing a small amount of spirits of camphor- on a cloth and rubbing: dry with a soft cloth. The men in uniform would. appreciate any extra packs you may have. THE QI,IE$TION BOX Oven Baked Chicken (Requested by Mrs. M. D. C.) 1 chicken cut up Milk, flour, salt and pepper le cup for frying 1 tablespoon onion chopped fine 2 cups top milk. Dip chicken in milk and seasoned flour and fry in skillet until brown- ed. rowned. Sprinkle chopped onion over top of chicken arranged in casserole. Pour milk over top and hake in oven 325 degrees until the chicken is tender, about two hours, and the milk is a thick sauce.

But on the morning after, cold and grey, When all the tumult and the shouting died, I heard a ghastly noise which auricled like John A. Macdonald turning in his grave! LOYAL LIBERAL ee British Women In The Forces (By Phyllis Bentley, in Britain) This war is unique among wars ,in respect to several of its important phenomena-, One of the most strik- ing of .these, to the thoughtful obser- ver, is the very large number of wo- men at present serving in the forces of the British Crown. In no previous war, if we rule out the mythical con- tests of the Amazons, have so many women .been gathered from their homes into uniforued battalions, • to further warlike purposes. . Sucha novel and large-scale phenomenon can- not but .have large-scale and novel. accompaniments and large-scale and novel results. The •accompaniments are observable all round us today. It is interesting to try to forsee some of •the Post-war results. I had better state at once that the spectacle of women in uniform does not in itself attract me. That it is, necessary :to' sacrifice, of our o'w•n free will, some of our individual liberties temporarily in order to secure the freedom of all, is a truth with which I heartily agree. But I view the ne- cessity as a necessity and without enthusiasm. • In my teens, as a hap- py member of a large school, I em- braced devotedly the principles of esprit de carps, prefects, captains • and •all the apparatus of discipline and authority. But later I not only ,felt that I ,had grown out of all that, but also thought I perceived some ill con- sequences of that "regiment of wo- men." When I say, then, that I ap- proached the problem of the uniform- ed woman after the war in a spirit of searching inquiry and without undue opt.imi'sm, and came away more hope - telly than I •approaohed, I expect to be believed. There are four cardinal'facts about the life of the woman members of His Majesty'•s forces today. The first is communal discipline, the habit of gi' 'ng, and receiving orders and obeying them. The second is communal work. The third is/ommunal play. To these three Is added the fact that women are working•'side ,by .side with the men of their "brother" forces. Wo- men's work may be different `(some- times it differs very little), but it serves. the same gun, the same instru- ment, the same boat, in the same place at the same time, as the men's work. On •the' -ack-ack gun site, at the radio locator, in the lorry, there is no segregation of the sexes. Women ,uvea similar (sometimes the same) uniform, observe similar discipline to the men's. They use, in their work- ing speech, the same teohnical terms. We must recognize that women from different income levels approach these facts differently. The girl from the higher income level is used to boarding -school, to hockey matches', but wince leaving school has usually worked in a household, on an individ- ual basis, apart from her brother and her husband. She is accustomed, that is, to communal discipline and communal play, but µnot to communal work. The girl from ..the lower in- come level is used to communal work in the' office or the factory, and `to work at the• side of men, but the team game has not come so often her way. Life els- a member of the A.T.S., W.A.A.F., or W.R.N.S., therefore of- fers to each something familiar lead- ing to something strange, which she is assisted to conquer by her coro.pan- ion's familiarity. They therefore more easily 'become knit into a strong firm fabric. All groups of this kind, united by the strong communal loyalty induced by communal action and' communal purposes, are subject to certain psychological dangers, and the woman With her sensitive emotional balance, is certainly no less subject to these than the man.• There is the danger of an artificial. allegiance, an exces- sive loyalty, oh the one side, and an excessive enjoyment of power on the other, with the.- atrophy of the criti- cal faculty to -`which these lead. There is the leek of iYldividuality which too much subordination to a communal will may entail. 'In Addition there are, we are told, special dangers for the unitormed ieptiutiiaa last` of ,two/ inanllriess;" a hottgiiness and .dareleest Mese, en irreffPon'eibility, a aiellke •of Of iaow t4 exerrlee '1iln'd$F wit he* be- com%ng c94334.:04 bye .e erd?iee oQt F9441K-4iy tO, on se; It iso the pripl,e- ),;v0)1 4 of hole twentieth seas xu) y in �� sphere, Wi11 •thetib • service women be able to adapt ;1: emselves' to the average small home? It will be hard work keepi?g I►ouse for many years after- the. i?terthe. war: But I am sure that the wo- men of the forces, trained 'to early, rising, undbdgeable tasks, and physi- cal• training on the icy 'barrack square will not ibe afraf'd of mere hard work. They will take housework in their stride.- ;s" But there are some things I•am sure these women will not he content to return to. They 'will not return to the messy drudgery, caused by poor tools and faulty organization. The woman who has cooked admirably for 800 with fine equipment will be impatient of tinkering with a poor oven for,one. They will not return to a lonely, over- ino'vidualized life They have tasted communal life and liked it, and they will demand clubs and societies and committees on a large and active scale. They will not return to a life purposeless except for personal am- bition; they are used to "something worthwhile" to do. They will not re- turn to economic dependence; they have grown used• to, drawing their pay and spending it as they choose. They will not, I believe, return .willingly toe life where the personal control of parents or relative's acts in con- straint. An impersonal communal discipline which leaves their leisure their own will be the only restraint acceptable. This may-- be good or it May be bad, but that it is true I are quite certain. I believe these women in unform swill not "go back" anywhere. It is useless to expect them to "return" to their old life. They will want to go forward, to add their service experi- ence to civilian life and make a finer, fuller, freer world. • the duties of marriage and mother- hood. /law are Britain's uniformed women reacting to these dangers? In a word, how are they going or net going to settle down after the war? I am going 'to quote rather fully from a discussion which I chanced to hear the other day among a group Of girls and women in one of the uni- former services, about what was go- ing to,,happen to them" after •the war... I confess I was astonished to hear that all of them,' without exception, hoped that their branch of the ser- vices would continue after . the war. One or two, while agreeing in 'this hope, yet wondered what the service could be kept on for, what work could be found for it tp do. This was eag- erly answered.., There would have to be a "police" army, navy, and air force to keep order in the world, and where there was an army, navy, or air force, of course the women's army, navy and air force would be sure to go. `But that couldn't go on indefinite- ly in peace time," said one. "No," said another, "and we must- n't plan as if there were to be an- other war." Suggestions were then put forward that the service could exist on a vol- untary basis, . that local branches could meet once or twice a week, that members not • attending regularly should be .thrown out, that there would be heaps of work, "tidying up," for the service' to do after the war. "But don't you want to go back home?" queried an older member thoughtfully. There was a pause; then it emerged that while the mar- ried members wished. to go home, the unmarried girls, though rather em- barrassed and shamefaced about it, admitted that no, they didn't want to go back home after the war. I tried to find out exactly what it .was that endeared the service to them, "You're freer, somehow," opin- ed pined one e "more on your own." "You feel you're doing something worth while," said another. 'You long to go on leave, another., when . you get there it's all strange," said a third.' "People don't seem to under- stand what you're talking. about, and it makes you feel lonely." They looked at each other uncom- fortably,` reurprised and even a little alarmed to find how strong and uni- versal these• feelings were, "It's the communal life," said one of the older ones at last. "Yes, that's .it!" cried the others, rodding emphatically: -"That's what it is." The shape of things to come seem- ed to reveal itself very clearly to me in this conversation. To begin with, I saw no dull uniformity, but a lively individualism in the discussion. The admirable ABCA, and the opportuni- ties for attending technical classes, 'doubtless have much to do with this; 'Britain's women's forces; no less than the. men's will emerge more and not less knowledgeable- hiciviliafi affairs than they went in. But will these uniformed girls want to marry when they leave the forces? Qf course! Lots of them are marry- ing, lots more are becoming engaged:. And surely the married life of two people who have known each other in work (and sometimes in danger) as well as in play will have a surer foun- dation for happiness than -that of two people who have seen each other on- ly in 'their beat clothes and thein best behavior before their wedding day. Moreover, men and women who have worked aide by side gain a' tolerant understanding of the weaknesses, pe- culiarities and foibles of the other a ex. Britain's uniformed women' are and 'will remain "womanly"—look at their curls arid cosmetics now—but they will be womanly in • a mire fearless, candid, and cheerful way.
