, "I am much interested to hear of your efforts to encourage the
use of codfish from the wonderful .Canadian fisheries as a means of
• increesing the food supplies of the world.
"The Duke and I fully realize the necessity for continued effort hs
food censervation in order thee the starving people of the devastat- •
ed eountries of •ihrope may be fed.
''We can all help to attain this end by making the fullest possible
use of the natural reseurces of this country. We shall go on using
large quantities of fish and vegetables at Government :House as long
•as it may be considered advisable to do so."

New Year is naturally.. enough a
time to take Stock of the events of
the past twelve .months to sum up
what has been accomplished end to
took intothe future. .A. New Year,
with peace on earth again, is so verY
strange an occurrence that at is hard
to grasp its real significance. Taere is
a feeling abroad that it is theend of
things, rather than the ,beginning of
a new, era of effort )frugality and
subsequent prosperity. Thee is danger
of relaxation and latitude which- could
only be fate.' to the future ofthe
country. We cannot afford to rest on
eur oars at this juncture, no matter
haw hard we may have striveu to
•cope with -difficultiesduring the past
• four years.
••• The women of Canada have been
magnificent in el their war work and
credit is especially due then i ter the
ewhole-hearted way they have given
,themselves eel to the work of food
.conservation. Women are essentially
„the nation's foodsavers and they are
briocipally responsible for Canada's
recent izt sending foodstuffs overseas
to meet the needs of Allied Europe,
It Is not too much to say that they
have forgedsone of the most binding
• links in the chain which , was gradu-
ally wound 'atoune the enemy. And
' the marvel of our voluntary food sav-
ing, now that we can look squarely
at results, is that no one actually- sue
fereo any hardship from it; that we
are all better In health and spirits,
and that We have gained a more un-
selfish viewpoint. We have a n.ew
appreciation of the value of food that
will peee.ent us from e'er again wast-
ing it as we did in the oar days, We
have come to emderstand the religion
of sa.vine and to realize the place that
food occepies in our new world-wide
human relations.
It is abundantly apparent now how
toed control made sufficiency from
shortagekept the rein on food prices
and elicited a fine spirit of Volun-
tary co-operatiart from the people of
'Canada. Figures furnish th.e most elo-
quent testiMOOY to what has been ac-
complished and some measure of the
size of the problems which have had
to be met may be gained from the fol-
lowing table of the value of food-
stuffs exported since the war began:
Far fiscal year 1914-15 ..$187,011,30.0
For fiscal year 1915-16 .. 332,455,900
For fiscal year 1916-17 .. 482,619,400.
For fiscal year 1917-13 .. 710,611,400
So much for the past, The great,
objective has beou reached. The Can-
ada rood Board accomplished what it
set out to do, with the help of tee
women of the Dominion. But there is
much ta be done in the New Year,
There are tremendous deticits in live
stock in Europe amounting to some-
thing like 12000,000 head, Milk is
almost at theevanishing point in some
countries, Great Britain will depend
upon Canada and the tinged States
for animal fats for sOlne time to come.
Prance wit require many milions oe
dollars' worth of foodstuffs from
abroad for years to come. The troops
will have to be'fecr tor two or three
years yet before demebilization, is
completed. The shortage of butter in
Great Britain is slit very acute and
the per. capita .censumption there re-
mains only about one-eighth of the
consumption in ,Canad.
So that the clear ditty of Canadian
woraen for the next few months and,
indeed, for years to come, Is to prac-
tise general thrift; to aim at a nation
of better and more frugal housekeep-
ers; to co-operate food saving with
money -saving. The continued use of
fish and vegetables; a greater de -
mend for tbe cheaper, rather than the
more expensive, cuts of meatee and
pare in the use of sugar and Iaare
all essential if we are to met the more
immediate demands epon us. Many
of the food restrictions have been
lifted but it is lett to the individual
censcience of the woman in the home
to continue in the way she has been
going for months past and thereby to
help along the work of reconstruc-
tion. There is a stringent period
ahead. .Annual interest upon our war
debt alone will amount to over $70,-
000,000. The French people, set the
whole world an example of industrial
thrift when they went to work to pay
off the crushing war indemnity levied
on them by. Germany after 1870. What
the French did then, Canadians can
do now. If every Woman in the land
throws herself heart and steel into
this thrift campaign Canada's future
among the natiOns is assured.

What has happened to Soissons dur-
ing the past two and a half years is
no new thing, and, however much un-
like war was the appearance of the
littIe town, to those who passed
through it in the early summer of
1914, the roar of guns had been heard
around it less than fifty years before,
and that fifty years had been the
longest period of peace it had enjoyed
perhaps in all its history. At the
dawn of that history, Soissons is seen
as the capital of the great Gallic tribe,
the Suessones. The S'uessones occupied
twelve towns, and their king,. Just. be -

roads which the Romans threw out
in all directions from the growiug city
on the bents of the Aisne to Rheims,
Chateau - Thierry, •1340a1.1e, Theriot
Amiens, and St. Quentin.
Along one of these roads, one deg
towards, the close a the third CeritUrY,
came the two noblemen, Crispin. cute
Crispinien. They were Christian mis-
sionaries, and they first impught the
faith to Soissons, teecbing and preach-
ing in the city and round about, and
earning their living the while by shoe-
making. They suffered martyrdom in
297, and Iry reason of their craft be-
came, in after years ,the patron saints
of shoemakers. It was, however, after
the corning of the barbarians, after
the last of tbe Roman governors of
Gaul, Syagrius, had been defeated
close to the city of Clovis the Prank,
that Soissons began to make history.
It was here that Clovis married the
famous Clotilda, around whom much'
lege rul is woven, and It was here that,
yielding to the plea: of his Wife, he
finally renounced his pagenism an
embraced nChristianity. Clovis after-
wards settled in Paris, but Solssone
was the capital of his son Clotaire,
and it was not until many years afe
terwards that the kingdom of Se's -
sons was incorporated with that of
Paris.

Another bitter period was towards the
end of the Napoleonic wars, in 1914,
when Soissons was captured and re-
captured by the Allies and the French.

When the beautiful young Princess
Elizabeth of Bavaria visited a villao
fah' some seventy years ago in d's„suise
and. in the company of her father, a
147PaY woman revealed her future to her.
"I do not know who you are, young
lady," the gypsy said, "btu you will ene

an empress. • You will be one of the
greatest and most envled women in Eur-
ope, but your he.ppincli will not last

• Within tour years Eligazeth bad mar-
ried Franz Josef, the young Emperor of
Austria, and within' another year her
young life ws laid In ruins.
Her husband's unk1nd/les:3 and infidelity
had driven ltcr In despair from Vienna to
bcgin the long period of exile and sorrow
and pitiful loneliness to which death at
last put a merciful end when the aesas-
sin, Luellen', stabbed her to the heart.
The 111-staired career of the late King
Alexander of Serbia was foretold' before
his birth' by an inepired• peasant of
'Kremlin.
"The chnd wi,o is about to be born,"
the pcaant deelar'ed, "will lutve. a rar
more turbulent reign than les ,father,
will many a woman from the people, and
in his twenty-,•_eventh year w:11 cease to

How exactly this prophecy ',vas fulfilled

the beautiful widow of s drunken eng.-
neer, and mo.rried her in spite of the
strong opposition of his parents, minis -

distinction as a national asset. That
It has already been tried and tested
in this capacity, with the best re -
suite is evidenced in tb.e case -of
Denmark and—to come nearer home
—in Prince Edward Island,,where co-
operative egg-seIling has become
more or less of a fine art.
ORIGIN OF EGG CIRCLES.
Ta explain tbe origin of the "egg-
clecles" which are operating in die
ferent parts of Canada to -day, and
which are the greatest stimulus that
poultry -keepers can have, it is neces-
sary to turn to the commercial *his-
tory of Denmark, It was between
1865 and 1570 that, Denmark opened
up an egg export trade with England
After a time it was found that the
farmers were holding back the eggs
so as to receive the higher prices
that prevailed later in the season.
This resulted in a falling off in the
quatity of the eggs and a correspond-
ing decline in trade. Some far-sight-
ed men, seeing hew fatal the . tend-
ency was, formed sosieties for col-
lecting and selliug the eggs; so
stamped and nninber:".d as to show
from whore they came. This was
really the nucleus ' of the co-oper-
ative movement itt the handling oil
eggs and it resulted in the restor-
ation and growth of Denmark's trade
with Great Pritaie. Iu.deed, the year-
ly average went up from P5 tons in
1915. Prier to the formation of these
societies France had the bulk of Bri-
tain's egg trade, but by failing to
espause the co-operative system, her
trade dwindled.
WHAT THE CIRCLES AIM'.
The oceeperative egg circles, as we
know 'them in Canada, are nothing
more or less than associations organ-
ized among farmers for the propose
of marketing eggs frequently and re-
gularly threugh a eommon medium,
the object being to maintain the
quality of eggs as they leave tho
farm' and to place them in the hauds
of the consumer in good condition
and with despatch.
It is estimated that before the
adoption of the ca-operative,system,
Canadian farmers loat between five
and six million dollars anually as a
result of carelesences in the handling
and marketing of 'ma. This con-
dition ne longer exists, however, and
where circles are ia operation farm-
ers are consistently making money
on their hens, Prince Edward Ishend,
with its few thousand inhabitants,
hes perfected the syetem and sets
the pac3 for the whele Doininien
with its egg circles. Ontario, Quebec
Nova ScAla anti Atherte have been
progressive in this direction, but, for
various reasons, little enthusiasm
has ,been shown for peultry raising
in the other provinces.
THE mirmlo WEST.
According to Mr. 3. ld, Bergey,
poultry epecialist at gho Manitoba
Agricultural' College, co-operative
hanaline, of eggs has hardly had a
fair trial in Manitoba. Ills depart -
meet is at precent eoncerning ilsolf
with encouraging farmers to take
bettor care of their eggs, and thie
repaganda is having pee results.

A great mimeo of revenue to the
Dominion is being neglected where
na attempt is made to organize egg
circles. Denmark's strength, com-
mercially, has centred wholly in her
co-operative agricultural system and
• her central marketing agencies. Ob-
vionsly her egg trade increased by
leaps and bounds after th's
syston was adopted. Similar results
might.be attained. in" Canada, and it
is no Utopian dream to hope that
there may yet be a chain of these
circles from coast to coast and that
