IN OUR STEAD In greater or less degree, we are all guilty in the matter of the lack of a feeling of personal responsibility in regard to the conduct of the war. We talk grandly and somewhat vaguely of oar wax' effort, when actually we have not mde any effort at all. As, day by day, we see our friends and neighbors taking their places in the armed forces we do feel a sort of detached interest but conclude that, after all, it is their own affair. But (in truth and humility of heart we should realize it) every man who steps into tbe ranks of the country’s defenders, Is substituting for us, personally. It is all very well to salve our consciences with talk of the importance of the industrial front. This is very necessary to the success­ ful waging of the war, but in the last analysis, it is the man who gets out and fights who stands between us and ruin. No effort that we can possibly make can balance the weight of the sacrifice he offers, for he throws upon the scale, his whole past, present and future, all he may have accomplished, all he is, all he hopes to be. Counting all as loss in the face of the peril that confronts us, he offers his life as ”a ransom for many.” —The Missus HE’S YOUR MAN liere’s your- Canadian soldier—- Remem her t he face?

Syrup is "not as sweet as su­ gar and if the same degree of sweetness is desired, use a third 'more, I 2. Since syrup adds bulk or more liquid to the‘mixture, it is necessary, ' when substituting, either to reduce the amount of other liquid in the proportion ot about one-quarter, or; Lon vi on guna 1Ul else to use more shortening. p Murch 3.

COFFEE CONCENTRATES AND SUBSTITUTES CONTAINING GOFFEE. We have often wondered what was the really correct course to follow in time of storm. The fol­ lowing information, which we copy from the Toronto Globe & Mail, is timely and accurate: ■The moment a thunderstorm threatens, get into the house, pre­ ferably a large house. This is the advice of Dr. P. L. Bellaschi, in charge of a high volt­ age laboratory, who has -dealt with more than 400,000 strokes -of arti­ ficial lightning, and reviewed the case, histories of .more than 100 deaths by natural lightning. In the house choose a spot near .the centre of the room. Stay away from windows, open doors, stoves, pipes, chimney and fireplace. Don’t go up into the attic. You are then quite safe, for the lightning will follow preferably the roof and walls to the ground. Hundreds of houses are struck each year without injur­ ing the occupants. The most dangerous place to be is out in the open. About 90 per Cent of lightning casualties occur in the rural districts. If you are so caught, and no large barn or farm­ house is in sight, do not make for a shed, booth or small open barn-— they are no protection. Keep away from tall isolated trees, wire fences, poles, pipes, tractors and other metal objects. Get away from beaches, swimming pools and fish­ ing ponds. Make for depressions, valleys or dense woods. ”«If you are in your car, it Is the safest place. Recently Dr. Gilbert D. McCann, in charge of lightning | studies in East Pittsburgh, sat in a steel topped sedan while bolts of 3,000,0P0-volt artificial lightning re­ peatedly struck the top. The steel- topped buses and trains are equally safe. i|f :|< « * * *• ft ft ft ft ft ft ft * have also found that the clear white variety of syrup is the best to use where granulated sugar would or­ dinarily be used.

DENIES CUTTING AGE FOR ARMY few Mrs. with and Minis-OTTAWA—War Services ter -Thorson said in the House of Commons that there was no truth in a report that alteration is being •made in the war services regula­ tions to call the 19-y ear-old class for compulsory service-. The question was raised by John Diefenbaker (Cons,, Lake Centre) who referred to a newspaper story to the effect that the 19.-year-old class was about to-be called “There is no truth in the re­ port,” said Mr. Thorson. The Canadian Press in an Ottawa story said the probability Was seen that the bottom call-up age would be reduced from 20 to 19 before the Government turned to the pool of married men to meet compulsory military training quotas. 6 tablespoons pastry I Honey-Bran Rolls Temperature, 40 0 .degrees Time, 25 minutes. 1 cup baking bran 1/3 cup buttermilk 3 tablespoons shortening % cup honey 1 egg, well beaten 1 cup all-purpose flour teaspoon baking soda ^teaspoon salt teaspoon baking ’ powder cup chopped raisins Measure the bran and buttermilk into a mixing bowl and let stand for 20 ’ minutes. -Cream together the shortening and honey; add. the well-beaten egg.
