'dust as soon ;44.the winds pipe a little higher, men - :elk (especially) praise a hot meat Erle. And we homemakers sihou1d '•Slnfle because it's a splendid 'way to 'else up those ends ,,from the small :avast. If you are buying meat for pie, Choose a piece of round steak or lean brisket and cut it into cubes (about 2 -inch size). Brown the meat in a little fat, using a frying pan; then empty into a narrow, dep pot with a tight fitting lid so it can stew away without scorching. Add a tin of con- somme, or 4 cups tomato juice, or a cube of concentrated• beef dissolved in water, or vegetable juices to cov- er, and let it simmer while you pre- pare cubed carrots, sliced onions and , some diced celery which you put in along with seasonings. Let it sim- mer (not too, fast) until done and serve with a lot of parsley sprinkled on top. For a special pie, put into a casserole, stir in one-half cup sliced mushrooms and top with a good pie crust. Bake until richly browned. A good old-fashioned beefsteak and kidney pie is a favourite, and it's the most savoury of meat dishes with its rich gravy and topping of light fluf- fy biscuit or flaky pie pastry. Beefsteak and Kidney Pie 1% lbs. cut steak cut in strips 3 lambs' kidneys 1% teaspoons fat 6 cups boiling water 1 large onion, peeled and sliced 1 large potato, peeled and sliced 1 teaspoon salt, pepper.

B., asks: "What causes grape jelly to become granular?" Answer: Grape juice should mel- low by standing overnight before it is boiled to jellying point. Or, Ape much sugar may have been the cause. Mrs. J. T. suggests a small strip of leather makes an excellent button loop on garments that get hard wear. Use scraps from old gloves or hand- bags.

GARDEN HOSE CARE In the •autumn the garden hose should be carefully drained of water, coiled so that there are no kinks or bends and storedooff the ground, so that it will dry out free of dirt and grit. Jim reds . do you e how mu n,VICtaRy $ JIM: We've done our share every Ioan. So it should be a tidy sum. MARY: It is, but I wish we had a lot more. There is nothing like preparing for a rainy day, and buying Victory Bonds is one of the best ways to save. JIM: Well, let's see.. We ' bought a $ 100 bond the first loan,. and found it so easy to pay for ojthe instalment plan that we doubled that for the second and third loans. That's $500 right there! MARY: Then, the last loan,to help back the attack, we signed up for a $500 bond. 'JIM: Well, in the next loan, we'll take another $500 -bond ... and a little bit more. That will give us a nice nest- wegg for the future. When peace comes NDS alO MARY: 7 we can start building that home we've got planned. And there'll be plenty of good business opportunities to look into. Besides all the things we'll be needing when everything is available again. • JIM: But by gosh, Mary ... despite the kick we get out of providing for the `future, I get my greatest thrill in knowing the money we lend is help- ing to beat the enemy` ... to bring our troops home quicker ... andmake this a better world for our children to grow up in. 1 MARY: It all ties,together, Jim. By investing everythinwe can in Victory Bonds, we are being practical as well as patriotic. ''Bat's why, with victory on the way, we should save harder than ever before: ' - NATIONAL. WAR FINANCE dOMMITTEE. The question is often asked: Aow many people are in Ottawa now? The 1943 directory gives it as 223,103, au increase of 14,313 in the past year. That is, of course, Greater, Ottawa. A survey shows; and this is •interesting in the light of .the housiiig shortage; that there are 13,973 houses; ,3,382 duplexes, 658 triplexes, 837 apartment houses and 723 stores with apart- ments over them. Still they're thou- sands abort. * * Something else I have 'been asked about and might as well get it off my chest. There are,124,000 civil service employees in Canada:. 34,000 in Ot- tawa. One day last week medicine - went on mass production in the na- tion's capital when •the 34,000 start- ed stepping before the X-ray camera for tuberculosis survey. It• will take three months to do the job. Two out of every thousand, it is expected, will show unsuspected touches of T.B. * * * Highest rating of radio programs in Canada goes to "Soldier's Wife," the serial which by a happy thought em- anated from the Information Branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board' in Ottawa. It .has a rated lis- tening audience of 500,000 and has proven so successful in putting over necessary information, in addition to giving splendid entertain"rnent, that other government departments— un- derstand—are thinking' of something along the same lines. It's" a home- spun program, which makes it worth while. * * x Plans are being pushed along for the establishment of five projected health and occupational centres for discharged personnel of the armed forces. According to the Department of Pensions and National Health, these centres will prepare those, who are not fully fit, for employment. Centres may be at or near Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, London, Ont:, and Vancouver. .It is hoped to have one ready by next spring. That is plan- ning in the right direction for a prob- lem which must be faced. * *.* What a mess of misunderstanding can belch forth and trouble people and officials alike! That is proven in the recent Rush case at -Toronto where a fine of $50 was imposed on an alleged farmer for having had his wife with him as passenger in a farm truck, contrary to Prices Board regu- lations. The press played it up, peo- ple thought tbat was small potatoes anyway. A.. statement later issued, by Donald- Gordon,. Board Chairman, indi- cates that Rush was not a farmer; it wasn't a farm truck; it was transport- ing no freight or produce; and the magistrate who tried the case and had the evidence, dubbed it ''deliber- ate waste of gas, tires, etc." The Board has,.however, now clari- fied the order, which is something that the Rush case helped to do any- way. A new order will allow pas- sengers" to be carried in the cab of a truck, provided it is transporting goods. Exempt from restrictions will be use of truck, to carry persons to and from places of worship or a re- ligious ceremony. * * 0 In a release, Munitions Minister Howe makes it clear that there was no arbitrary date set before which no furnaces could be lighted. He points out that, there should be no misun- derstanding, •only . regional weather conditions can determine the length of the heating season. Besides the conservation of fuel, which everyone knows is tied up with our war effort, authorities are cognizant of the ne- cessity of preserving the people's health, too. * "Don't be discouraged it your Vic- tory Garden didn't turn' out so (hot, in effect says James Gallagher, head gardener of the Dominion Experimen- tal Parra in Ottawa. Which means try again. 'He points out that fall is the. best time to dig the land and by the middle of October all later vegetables should be harvested. Another point he makes is that at this time the land should be cleared of refuse and burned. He warns against digging leaves and roots into the ground be- cause•they are disease breeders. >* That some folks :don't give a hoot about the equal distribution of foods was shown in a story in the Ottawa Journal, related by a shopkeeper who was blazing mad because a woman came in with a big dog, evidently her pet. She ordered two ice cream cones, one for the dog, the other for her. Refused, she vented her wrath 'on ev- erything from the government up and down. Odds *�. * and ends: Field dodder, ,a weed which germinates into stuff re- sembling pale yellowish hair, is con- sidered a menace to Canadian farms. Like a vine it coils itself around the nearest plant available. The Domin- ion Experimental authorities want farmers, where it is prevalent, to get advice about it from their nearest ex- perimental farm or agric}iltural re- presentative, and don't sew clover, alfalfa or flax where dodder is found. . The Fifth Victory Loan to "Speed the Victory" will have two .maturi- ties, one at 3% maturing January 1, 1959, the other at 13/4% -maturing May 1, 1947, both being dated 1T ,ember 1, 1943; the minimum objective for in- ($Y dim 'Grtflenitlat) trol order to stabilize A and B labor priorities,' the "freezing" thing you read about, will not apply to most building and 'construction projects, only to those in high priority _work there, the department so rules. * * * This, I think, needs further public- ity: Western Canada farmers -want- ing to ship feed grain to Eastern Can- ada for use on their own farms or for sale to relatives on farms can get cars through the Canadian Wheat Board. Freight assistance and other related subsidy plans may be claimed against such shipments by the Pura chasing farmer who buys feed grain direct from the western grower. Pur- chaser gets in touch with Feed Ad- ministrator, 640 Confederation Build- ing, Ottawa (for subsidies); for cars, write Canadian Wheat Board, Winni- peg. m * Do you know that Canada is now producing ,95 per cent of the combin- ed nickel output of the United Na- tions, 20 per cent "of the zinc, 121/2 per cent of the copper, 15 per cent of the lead, 75 per cent of the asbestos and 20 per cent of the mercury. Our alum- inum production is now six times that of 1939 and equals the entire world production of that year. m * * Where does all Canada's war pro- duction go, is something folks might be interested in. Well, about 30 per cent is delivered directly to the Can- adian armed forces at home and abroad. The rest goes to Britain, the United States, India, Africa, Russia, China, Australia, New Zealand and to the South Pacific—in short to all the fighting fronts of the United Nations. Canadia nworkers and producers need not be •ashamed of their contribution and will not be' when the history of this war is written. Milk bubsidies With further reference to the appli- cation of subsidies for the production "of .dairy products, as announced re- cently by Hon. James, , G.• Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, and adminis- tered by the Agricultural Food Board, the Board has made the following ex- planatory •statement: "The Board is authorized to apply the subsidy of fifty-five cents per 100 pounds on milk for fluid Consumption in all areas 'where such subsidy is cpnsiderea necessary to maintain pro- duction. In other areas where the previous rate of subsidy, viz. twenty- five cents per one hundred pounds, is considered adequate this subsily will apply. The subsidy of thirty cents per hundred pounds for milk which is concentrated will be extended to apply on milk used in the manufac- ture of skim milk powder provided that the milk or butterfat is not oth- erwise subsidized. The granting .of such subsidies will be considered on receipt of recommendations from Pro- vincial Milk Boards or Commissions. "In the case of milk manufactured into Cheddar cheese for which a sub- sidy of thirty centsper hundred pounds is firovided, application should be made by the management of the cheese factory on forms supplied- for Cold Sore Throat Swallow one Paradol tablet. Giome with two tablets dissolved in water. Go to bed and rest and sleep. Soon the pains and aches disappear and you may avoid a disagreeable cold. Paradol is a fast relief for head- aches, neuralgia, toothache, rheuma- tic and sciatic pains. It is pleasant to use and leaves no disagreeable after effects. Paradol does not disappoint. FOR THE RELIEF OE PA!N the purpose and sent to all cheese ' factories. "Under authorization granted to the Agricultural Food Board, distributors and manufacturers of milk or milk products are required to obtain per- mission from the' Agricultural Food Board before purchasing milk or cream from producers other than those from wthom they were obtain.- ing btaining supplies at the date the order be- came effective, which was Sept. 9th." DISH WASH IiIG Dishes 'that have 'held fish should be washed in water with a generous quantity of dry mustard or washing soda added to remove the odour. • CUTTING CHEESE Cheese may be cut in very thin slices without having it stick to the knife, if the blade of the knife is cov- ered with a.piece of waxed paper.

The dramatic series of launoh'ings was concluded at Victoria with the christening of the frigate H.M.C.S. Orkney. 'More than 625 vessels have now been launch%d in' Canada since the beginning of the War, including naval ships, freighters and special boats. The 12 launching's were part of the production schedules of but a feW of the twenty-one major shipyards, and sixty smaller boat building organizations in the Domin- ion.
