Try also the addition of grated carrot or chopped parsley, which is not only good' for health, but gives an 'at'tractive appearance to the soup. Have you tried rice pudding this way: .

While sub- stantial iinprov*ernent is evidenced in Canada's health -'in the last 20 years., and public interest has been greatly creased, it'isr'pointed out that much 'mains to be clone through improv- er public he al ' services and educa- tional programs so that needless deaths and preventable disease can be wiped oat, The article 1s -introduced by statis- tics showing *that fe*er Canadian mothers are dying in childbirth; that the number of infant deaths,has, been reduced by almost half; that recent measurements of school children show that children seven to 13 years of age are oneto=-two inchesrt_aller than. they were 20 years ago.. To dispel any complacency, however, Dr. r. J. Heagerty, director of public health. services for the. Department of Na- tiorial Health and Welfare, is quoted as 'saying that the general death• rate is still too high and deaths from cer- tain diseasesand conditions are ex- cessive. Particularly did he refer to infant and maternal deaths and said that most of them definitely are pre- ventable. He believes tuberculosis, for instance, need not exist in any civilized community, yet in 1'94'2 a to- tal of 12,361 cases was reported.

In delving tato the, trend of sta- tisties, the article . picks out some- in- teresting points., related to marriages, births and ,deaths. The: marriage rate is closely allied with prosperity levels and employment opportunities. It reached a low ebb during the de- pression period; and showed ta, marked increase in' the,, early- war years with marriages taking place at an earlier age.- The 1930-32 average age of mar- riage for girls was 25.3 -years; in 1940-42 it was 23.8. The peak of 'Mar- riages was apparently reached in 1942. Since then the rate has declin- ed and is now about what is consid- ered normal. However, it will prob- ably decline further if the War is pro= longed because of the absence of men. Nuptiality figures for 1930-32 indicat- ed that, sof every •100 girls 15 years old, 82 would •• live" to be married at least once. This was a lows rate that reflected postponement of marriages during depression, years. 'In con- trast the 1940=42 .figures show prob- able marriage for 95 per cent. of girls 15 years . old,. which is abnormally high and n ,•!aikely' tq, toirtinue for; any tengt It o tiiC4e, •. 0-E• .. at~ While .the, long-term •�Qaaadian tread.' tre is toward ansiailer families, ihe'aaX lcle points;. out most masa,,-iges:.. ,alai lowed very soon by a Ilr°st +bi tb aa:d Many by a later second,, birth, The birth, rate elosely\follows- luctuatio% s in tile, Marriage rate 'et an intervat of about one year.

The mortality rate seemed to be stationary during the worst depression years, began to improve in 1938. In 19.41, a bad epi- demic year, the death rate rose, ..but dropped„ in • 1942, to the. lowest level - ever recorded. . ae; Qre's ai y truth 1n the says, way, to, a man's fteart li thii`i1>lk' his stomach, thea surely. exeh an`t abetter short cut.;thati,via are gaol,; pie or pie. is 'Phren pialiy, he favorite. dessert, of most' alien; and a great runny • We'Alen Tho •Consumer' Section 'of ;'tlte i?4 minton;p0P'artament of Ag rieulture ha:. :none ? g flew n ipastry,,and les. and he ' . ale nre , 4p eccrae tosp Envoi is 4:40;09. out `.o p. hp tt f hd all, •ate esN-lt'a, ordi , orb. ..n0rily..go..d RoIIed Oats+' Pastry enl►& r9i ` : fted 411 -purpose flour•, e3PS ,sifted,"pastry dour I490409?4, salt •cul► tii,id'davared fat x cups . rolled .oats 1/3 to IA cup cold water... ll 7e ;andsift flour and salt. ;Cut' in the shortening; using . two knives or mixtur ro= r until e a 'pastry blehde , sembles ;Hue crumhrs-` Add rolled oais and mfr Il l qtly togetilier.

In thee three years before; the war the maternal mortality rate was re- duced 25 per dent, and in the first three, years of the war a further 30 per cent' reduction was noted. Th1: improvement kept on . through, 1943 despite an Increased number of births among a highly mobile population, .a severe strain on hospitals and medi- cal facilities. The use-' of sulpha drugs and "improved nutrition of the. mother are two basicreasohs for this goadtrend, it is, suggested. Recent government health campaigns ate con- sidered as great aids. 3F .3 3F Statistics show that stillbirths have been on the decline since 1939,, A contributing 'factor, states the art- icle, is fewer large families and more families of one and two children: Con- ditions affectingmaternal: mortality also affect the stillbirth rate. 3F .. . . : The conclusion reached is 'that; in general, the health of the ,Canadian people showed a marked improvement during the le years preceding the war d -'that •improvement has continued through the war years.. Progress has been greatest in maternal mortality, some aspects of infant mortality and mortality from pneumonia and influ- enza.- Contributory factors are' be- lieved to be . advancesin medical methods and the improved nutrition of mothers during pregnancy. How- ever, there is .no room for any slack- ening of health education and pub- lie health programs if Canada is to. continue to progress' toward the mor- tality • levels, of the most advanced countries. * 36 * Qf interest arer the figures" on "life• expectancy," which has improved greatly in' Canada • fn the -last ten years. Figures silow the mean length of life for children born . in 1930-32 to be 60 years for males, 61.1. for females. • Male. children born 10 years later, in 1940-42, had an expectancy of 62.95 year's, and‘fereale children 66.9y ears. • It is indicated that while the inci- dence of tuberculosis' increased. in. war years, earlier • ' diagnosis and treatment -have lowered the death rate. • ' 3 3 3F Accidental deaths' in 1941-42 were higher than the average of the pre- vious .five years, and, while automo- bile accidents were numerous in 1940- 41, the 1942 death rate was •below the average for "19364, Of course the gasoline and' rubber shortage was the reason._ Now ..as to infant mortality, there has been a steady improvement be- tween 1926 and 1942. Significant is the fact that two. causes of infant deaths much. affected by 'tate state of health of the . mother during preg• nancy ,show the most favorable im- provement even during the war years. :Gheseappie , Pig 'ie ,Paste 6 a m11dina-eized'appie:•..• . 1/3 t4 34 cup bream anger % teaaPoon cinnamon' ?%a teaspoon nutmeg;: . $ teasljoon alit • 1 tablesi coir shins tar -eh 1 tablespoon butter •,1 tablespoon lemon 1ufee 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind .A 1 cup grated cheese, .

Precious RTewe1s Today, diamonds, sapphires, rubies and garnets are' all playing important roles as tools of war. Sapphires and rubies are used in watches and chronometers- For this job jewel experts •say that they trust• be hard and free from flaws. Natural sapphires and rubies meet these re- quirements, very well because they are almost as bard as diamonds. They are also needed in meters and. deli tate instruments that go into air - .planes, tanks and other war. Mater- •ials. In a fighter or bomber smash- ing at the crumbling walls of Fortrehs Germany, sapphire's and. •rubies. fly. to battle behind the' various dials on then. planes instrument boards.: ''There are not ' ,enough tiff Itlrelse jewels :available for wide usage, so many of them are now made syn- thetically. Rubies and sapphires were synthetically produced by a: French chemist in 1902. ' The original meth- od has been iinproved to such •ail° ex-- • tent that it is nova.. difficult, to dis- tinguish between a real and a , syn- thetic jewel. Before the war the sup- ply of these gems came from coni tinental Burope. Now they are+made+ ` 'in the United States. Diamonds are doing one of the most important jewel jobs in this war. ln' 1864 the diamond was first used for •drilling-.• purposes.. In That year, the diamond 'drill -hit was in- vented' by a Swiss engineer. .This, tool was •first. used in "tJie construc- tion of the famous'Simplon tunnel in' Switzerland .which was •opeiaed .38 , Years ago. The diamonds used by industry are trot the ' same as those .gracing the third finger,;, left hand. ' Itirki1e those used b'y industry are 'real a rough, they are . only, fragments ' of diamonds' and are called•' borts. .,The borts' are chipped/ off' in the . mining of .gem stones." ;Although probably the Most important wartime job they have • is in the diamond drill, they ..are •also used in such precision 4nstrUinei is as cutting, grinding ;and machining' tools.
