Soup Recipes
With colder weathee back again the
family are all set to smack their lips
over flavoursome, piping hot soups.
Even with rationing of meat there
are still many possibilities for good,
wholesome meat soups. Meat trim-
inings, bones, hearts, necks and, giz-
zards of fowl, ox -tails and the last
remains of the roast all contribute to
the making of a basic bouillon. Cheam
soups and many sauces are improv-
ed by the addition of a little bouillon
or stock. Vegetables of allsorts, liq-
uid form cooked vegetables, tomato
juice or home -canned tomatoes will
add nutritive value as well as flavor.
Here are: soups that the family will
enjoy. The recipes are from the test-
ing kitchens in the Consumer Section
of the Dominion Department of Agri-
_

�(By B. olra4gleachman),
I eat beside a .?,an, a strangee to
me, ata Public Tweeting which was
to be addre0Sed by an M.P. Said he,
"I have net the ,slightest idea why .-'I
came here." ellaby . not?" I queried.
"Politicians are ell crooks,"' he an-
swered. "If you can prove that and
don't," said I, "then you are worse
than they are." Hie blood pressure
rose. I waited for^shim to Calm down.
His face changed from red to blue
and then to white. I said no more.
Perhaps I $aid too much. He had en-
dangered'his health by the poignancy
of his mistaken conceptions, hate has
toxic qualities.
One gets tired of that particular
type of piffle! It starts with the as-
sumption that there is one class, sep-
arate and apart from all others, com-
posed of men from all lines of busi-
ness, who, when they enter the ser-
vice of the state, become crooks. No
assertion could be more stupid; more
ridiculous, more absurd. It is not
only false; it is criminal. It darkens
the imagination of youth. It blacks
out democracy, makes it impossible.
It was one of the main moves in the
destruction of democracy in purope.
Destroy the leaders of a natl"on and
you have gone a long way towards
destroying the nation.
Sometimes politicians are them-
selves to 'blame. They are notorious-
ly careless in their statements. They
say things they do not -mean. This
happened a short time ago with Mr.
E. B. Jolliffe, ••provincial leader of the
C.G.F. He was speaking in Tecum-
seh, a lovely little town in Western
Ontario. Said he:
"According to the Bank of Can-
ada's statistical summary for Octo-
per and November of last year, .
which includes all companies with
assets of more than $500,000, the
true picture is this: •In 1938, the
last full year of peace, .these com-
panies made net ,profits before pro-
viding for taxes, . of $320,000,000,
and in 1941 they made $668;000,000. -
The war more .than doubled their
net profits."
That was a deft statement; it pack-
ed a wicked punch. No one listen-
ing to it would suspect that tax in-
creases between 1938 and 1941 would
alter profoundly that particular state-
ment. Why did Mr. Jolliffe say: "The
war more than doubled tbeir net pro-
fits?" I don't know, that is Mr. Jol-
liffe's problem. The war did not dou=
ble their net profits;' it doubled net
profits before taxation, but taxation
rose from $56 million in 1938 to $295,
000;000 in 1941. Why was Mr. Jol-
liffe silent about that?
Ho* do I know that he knew about
it? Irl the same speech the made this
statement:
"Even after` paying (their taxes
these companies made far bigger
profits as a result of the war. In
1938, their profits, 'after taxes, were
$264,009,000 and in ,1941 they were
$373,000,000." '
Do you see what happened? Mr:
Jolliffe made one statement in which
he said: "The war more than . dou-
bled their net prots." He followed
it by another statement showing that
the war did not double theiremet pro-
fits—nor anywhere near it. A broad
sweeping statement. remains in the
mind of an audience figures do. not.
Mr. Jolliffe gained -but at the ex-
pense of truth. -
The facts are that total -compensa-
tion of employees in industry rose
from $705,668,000 in 1938 to $1,264,-
862,000 in 1941—production moved up,
rom $3,337,681,000 to $6,07-. „308,000:
rofit per unit of production was
much less in 1941 than in 1938—earn-
ings per worker much more. Of the.
broader facts Mr. Jolliffe said not a
word. If he had spoken, on 'this as-
pect of the problem, he would have
refuted his own statements. To bim
it had to be—a time for silence.
Window
Screen Care
This" fall when " the snreens were
taken down and the storm windows
put up in their place, many discern-
ing housewives may have noticed
holes sir the odd screen. The clever
housewife did a darning job -on them.
Actually, it is a comparatively simple
matter -'to neatly patch a faulty screen
with wire. Ravelled wire from screen-
ing of the same mesh is used for
thread.
The life of galvanized screens can
be prolonged if a coat of paint is ap-
plied to them. Tbis process is not
usually necessary for copper screen-
ing, except to prevent stains.
Frames of screen doors and win-
dows ,that have pulled apart- at the
corners during the summer months
will 'take a new leaser on life if they
are braced with wood.
,"Screen darning" does not have to
stop there. In her kitchen, the house-
wife can Patch toles in sieves and
strainers using the same method as
she does for her window screens.
FAT SAVERS
Bake or grill meat cakes, croquet-
tes, patties and fish, instead of fry-
ing.
Instead of greasing baking sheet
for pastry, biscuits, plain scones and
rolled cookies, simply flour it.
Heat a cake pan Slightly before
greasing, less fat will be needed.

powadays.
The first thing to learn_ is - that the
furnace should be kept as Spic and
span as the katehen sink. Although
it's a dirty job, it's not a difficult One.
Experts have estimated: that `a soot
deposit of only a fraction of an ane'k
can waste up to one-third of the fam-
ily's coal •csupu y.
• The furnace ie cleaned through the
Olean -out door, which is just above,
the fire door. Inside tt are cast iron
sections, Aid] should be kept so
free. • The only •tools r, eeded are a4
scraper and wire brush, which are
Part of the furnace equipment. The
experts say to scrape the section • and
sides from top down; and then finish
off with the brush. Clean out the fire
pot as well. Tbis, of course, can on-
ly be done when the fire is out.
When cleaning the fire pot, it's a
good idea to check the grates. If one
of these happens to be warped, it
should be replaced. Otherwise, a
great deal of unburnt coal will drop
through to the ash pit and be wasted.
"A furnace can be run efficiently
and economically, if five important
dules are carefully followed.
First, avoid overheating. Don't
wait • until- the house is thoroughly
warm `before checking the fire. A
good plan is to •tend the furnace about
half an hour before retiring.
Second, clean out the ash pit ev-
ery day, and sift the ashes carefully.
Ashes are valuable for banking a fire.
Third, keep a fair depth of ashes
above the grates. , The fire will hold
better and be easier to control.
Fourth, clean the furnace, every
week when burning soft coal; with
hard coal, clean it every two weeks.
Fifth, know the draft controls.

three Ways to Save One Ton in Five,"
bas diagrams showing draft controls
and how they work. Canadian coal
dealers have supplies of this booklet.
WRINKLE REMOVER
If clothes 'become a little wrinkled,
wring out a bath towel in water, put
it over a hanger in the back of the
clothes closet and shut the door. The
clothes in the cupboard will respond
to dampness and out come the
wrinkles. .

amiably clambered upstairs. In a
few minutes he was back.
"What's the matter?" asked the
driver. "Didn't you like it up -there?"
"Yep, mice view, nide air," answer-
ed the drunk. "But it ain't safe—no
