salting should' not be more than OM,
quarter cup of amalgamn salt to one
quart of cold water. To much salt
shrivels the vegetables instead of
crisping them.
Mr. R. B. asks: "Is it possible to
steam a dessert over the Dutch oven
stews?" •
Answer: Yes, if you have astearoe
er to fit the kettle. If it does not lit,
the food may stop simmering on low
heat and become soggy.
You may cook a custard, bread
pudding or steam pudding if you
make a small quantity on a covered
casserole and put on top of meat
bones.
• Take a Tip
On the use 'of processing food in
tin cans:
1. We do not-recoramend -process-
ing food in tin cans placed in the
oven.
2There are three types of tin cans
available. The plain can. is a gen-
eral purpose cen.whieh may be used
for all foods. "R" enamelled cans
have a special coating which assists
in maintaining the normal coloring
of red berries and beets. "C" enamel-
led cans have a special coating to
prevent discoloration of corn. They
are also suggested for processing
green beans, peas and kidney beans.
"C" enamelled cans are not recom-
mended for acid fruits or tomatoes.
3. If the food is not precooked, cov-
er with hot syrup. The contents. of
the can should be processed accoed-
ing to the following method:
Place coveted cans on a rack in
processor with boiling water aboat
two- inches- from the tap of the cans.
Keep the water boiling during the
processing period, 'but do not let it
bubble over into the cans. Seale with
sealing mechirte according to • the
manufacturer's directions:

Next-of-kin of • soldiers overseas
should 'send vecation-time changes of
address to the Director of Records,
Department of National Defense,
Ottawa, or if they cannot be easily
reached give the name 'and eddr'ess
of relative or friend to whom any
casualty telegraps could be deliver-
ed. Dates of 'arrival and departure
from away -addresses shouldalso be
given.

The 'Consumer Branch suggests to
rural women that they ask the hired
man for his ration book immediately
on, arrival, pointing out that with .it
they can serve better meals. Quite a
number have reported to Ottawa they
have had to share their family's sug-
ar, tea, coffee and butter, because the
hired men forgot or lost their books.

Canada spent $912 millions in Mut-
ual Aid in the first 10 months of the
Board's operatiohs, out of which over
$723 million went to Britain. You
may be astonished to know that in-.
eluded in shipments to Britain were
768 aircraft; 3,075 armoured fighting

of any war department, Though this
is $250,000,000 less than "last year,
'Canada's 1944 war output will be big-
ger because of lower prices, for arms,
ammunition and equipment from the
Dominion's industrial plants.
Votes $800,000,000 Fair Mutual Aid
The Commons also discussed: and
passed the •$800,p000.00 appropriation
for Mutual Aid to other United Na-
tions for .war purposes. This in.
cludes $77,000,000 as' 'Canada's initial
contribution to the funds of the Unit-
ed Nations Relief 'and Rehabilitation
Administration. •
• During the 10 months ending March
31, 1944, 'Canada spent over $900,000,-
000 on mutual aid. This is greater,
proportionately, than the amount
spent by the United States for lend-
lease during the ' same peeiod. Of
this, $723,750,000 was for «ajcl to Bri-
tain; more than $23,000,000 for goods
sent to Russia, $21,000,000 for help to
Australia.
All of this money was spent in
Canada and the products sent abroad.
These included food, and all kinds of
armament and munitions. ,Food va-
lued at $192,000,000 went to Britain,
while the United •Kingdom also
bought $252,000,000 worth of food
from Canada. This included: Bacon,
$84,000,000; canned pork, $3,600;000;
cheese, $15,500,000e 'butter, $3,000,000;

June 5th was a big day in Cana-
dian Red Cross history. It marked
packing of the 10,000,000th food par-
cel for Canadian and British prison-
ers of war. This means' that Cana-
dian women packed 55,000 tons of
food. Think of it! The Canadian and
British -prisoners get one parcel week-
ly and those Of allied countries
receive one a month. New packing
plants are to be openea as the socie-
ty right now has only capacity for
putting up -100,000 parceds weekly in
five plants. They'll have to increase
that to possibly 190,000 a week.

Sound advice in connection with
coal supplies aa summer will soon 'be
on the wane: Place full orders for
coal at once; accept it whenever your
dealer' can deliver it, .and take what-
ever suitable kind he can deliver. It
is also suggested that now is the time
to clean heating equieraent; to have
it in good operating condition and
haie storm doors and windows -repair-
ed ready for next winter. We all
know we should follow this advice,
but sometimes procrastinate.

The production of commercial mix-
ed feeds has been stepped up tremen-
dously in Canada during the past four
years, and preliminary figures for
1943 show an output of nearly 806,-
000 tons compared with about.- 650,000
tons in 1942, and 376.000 tang in 19.39.

Farmers will be interested in this
answer to •the enormous eisappear-
anees of feed grains in Canada dur-
ing' the past two years. Since. 1941,
total number of cattle, hogs, 'horses,
sheep, ' hens and cbickens on eau*
farms increased about One-third. Hens
and chicken's rose by 14,000,000; hogs

Minister of Pensions and. National
Health, announced inereased treat-

service. Complete revision of the reg-
ulations have been made to prevent
hardship to veterans of all wars who
are .prevented by illness fram taking

period for treatneetit has been great-
ly extended, more 'generous .finaaicial

some veterans from securing the
benefit of the plan. .
GARDEN TOOL CARE
Garden- tools are the civilian wear
pons for victory, according to the De-
partment ,of Agriculture's 'report on
1943 wartime gardens.
Mowers, garden hose, and other
tools should be .put away with extra
care after a hard day's work,' if they
are to last, say garden experts. When
the lawn 'mower is dropped on the
pavement the moving Parts are apt
to break off.
When the garden hose isn't in use, '
it should be stored off the ground in
the garage or basement. . This wilt
keep it free of dirt, grit and grease.
It possible, keep it coiled on a wood-
en reel in order to prevent kinks and
bends from forming.
'Make certain that the handles' of
all the garden tools are tight, and as
soon as they become loose, fixed.
