Our grand- mothers sliced and cooked red stalks pulled from the broad leaf- ed rhubarb plant. sweetened the subsequent sauce with white sugar and called it Spring Tonic. Today we find other more attractive ways to serve this harbinger of spring to the family. Last week we made one pie crust of the juice thicken ed with cornstarch and siwirled tender meringue on the top. Probably one of the most dis- tinctive taste values of rhubarb is the the tart flavor achieved by com- bining it with some form of sweet- ening, and pastry, tea biscuit bat- ter or crumb mixture. The crust idea adds a bit of crunchiness to our spring tonic. For a change. try one part seed- less raisins and three parts sliced rhubarb for a fruit pie. Make it -with one crust and serve with either a whipped or sour cream topping. Wit: warm with a tart lemon sauce. Mrs- H. T. says: "Often the simplest recipes are best. Hare is a good supper dish: Add Ss cup grated cheese to 2 cups white sauce and stir until melted. Sea- son with salt and pepper, Arrange slices of canned corned beef and slices of two hard -cooked eggs in - a greased casserole. Pour over hot oheese sauce and bake in a moder- ate oven for 15 minutes." Editor's Suggestion: Have you tried the packaged icing? It is a mix developed and made in Can- ada. A handy, good quality topping for the emergency shelf.

Thompson gave the benediction. The Voice Of Temperance It is often claimed that what we need is more temperance educa- tion—make it known the harm that liquor is doing. Whoever reads the newspapers knows a lot about the woe that goes with liquor—the ac- cidents and deaths on the high- ways caused by drunken drivers— the crimes that are committed when men are under the influence of liquor. Surely everyone knows the menace of liquor. The trouble is that men's conduct is not always governed by their knowledge. They need to 'know' and then beyond that they need the will power to say "no."—(Advt.). ..

A large number of these were prema- ture births due to malnutrition and lack of medical care of the mother. In most communities in Canada, pre -natal and well -baby clinics are conducted to help keep mother and baby healthy. Sonny vs. Soap -and -Water Children are not instinctively clean and neat. They require care- ful training in the regular use of soap and mater. They should be taught to wash their hands before eating and to brush their teeth im- mediately afterwards. General hab- its of cleanliness must be made routine as soon as the youngster is able to understand such train- ing. Katchoo!

This neces- sitated frequent cleaning of all poultry houses, with removal of all the floor litter at each cleaning. Increasing costs and shortages of labor, particularly during Ghe war, led to the use of floor litter for a much longer time without removal and this, in turn, led to the discov- ery that birds kept on old litter did not seem to suffer any adverse ef- fects, an observation contrary to previous teaching. Nevertheless, experimental proof is now avail- able to show that built-up litter is not only -sanitary, but contributes valuable nutrients. The management of built-up lit- ter is not just a question of al- lowing it to accumulate. It must be properly started and controlled. The ntiscroorganisms in the litter • are important and must be given a chance to develop properly. Cak- ing must be avoided; hence a good depth of litter must be provided, six to 12 inches; and the litter must be stirred frequently to mix the fresh droppings and surface accumulations with the materials below, where chemical and biologi- cal activities are taking place which create healthy conditions. The chemical and biological activi- t'es taking place 15 built-up litter are similar to that of the compost heap. Moisture and heat are both necessary but sufficient moisture is generally supplied by the drop- pings and splash around the was tering system and the biological nctivities in the litter generate heat similar to a hotbed or man e heap, which is' usually suffici- ent to maintain the organisms pre- sent. in the extremely cold areas of Canada biological activity may • DAIRY PRODUCTS MAKE Your FOOD DOLLARS GO FARTHER • 00 i!0 too HOURLY RATES O'F PAY 226.8 DEC.', 19,50'' Every housewife these days is fighting the "battle of the home budget". She is quite aware that food costs have soared, and was not surprised when the Cost of Living Index at March lst. last showed food at 244.4 compared with 100 for the base period of 1935-39. The Dairy Farmers of Canada, faced with rising costs like everyone else, are pleased to draw attention to the fact that Dairy Products in the same index stood at 200.1 while other foods in the index were 247.5. The price of Dairy Products is not at all out of line with other items in the Cost of Living Index, nor with wages in industry. While milk, butter and cheese stand at 200,1, clothing stands at 196.6 and home furnishings at 199.3. Wages based on hourly rates of pay in Canada stood at226.8 as of Dec. 1, 1950, according to Department of Labour Statistics.

This is parti'iularly true where the litter freezes and under such conditions it is difficult to maintain good built-up litter. Once established, under good conditions, says Mr. McIntyre, built-up litter can be maintained indefinitely. The moisture le ab- sorbed and the heat generated by the miscroorganisms helps keep the floor dory and the litter warm. The microorganisms favored 'by this method of litter management, not only produce some valuable nutrients in the litter, such as vit- amin B12, but also seem to have some effect on the presence of harmful organisms in the litter. In other words, this built-up litter is not insanitary and, if properly handled, is beneficial to growing stock and laying hens.
