A Valen­ tine's Day Party -may be in the ■offing .$£ y°ur home, in which case you' will already be thinking of special menus. To any homemaker the success of a party depends to a large extent on food—carefully planned and prepared. If you are entertaining the “Teen-Agers” at a. buffet supper, here are some food fancies we especially like, because they are so decorative and so easily prepared. Potato Salad In setting up Potato Salad for Valentine’s Day we use beets for a basis. Slivers of cooked beets are steeped for 20 mins, in hot vinegar to which a bag of whole spices has heen added. When chilled, put in lettuce cups placed in heart-shaped design on a platter. Press potato salad around to keep the lettuce in position. The salad could be served in the centre of a large platter sur­ rounded by assorted cold cuts. Spread each slice of meat with cheese filling (use cottage or cream cheese mixed with salad dressing and seasonings), then roll and secure with toothpick. Relish Tray This platter could be accompan­ ied with a relish tray made up of small gherkins, celery curls dipped in paprika, and thin triangles of white turnip. Chill in separate con­ tainers in the electric refrigerator for one-half hour before serving. Glaze for Rolls If you want a rich glaze to dress •up ordinary rolls, measure % cup hutter and % cup corn syrup into a saucepan. Boil for 3 minutes then pour over the rolls. This glaze will top 12 rolls. Cherry Petal Squares An upside-down Prune Square, served hot, is just about the pret­ tiest hot bread we make. For the glaze beat together 2 tbsps. butter, 2 tbsps, brown sugar and 2 tbsps corn syrup. Grease an S inch x 8 inch pan and spread the bottom with the butterscotch mixture. Into it press alternate rows of cooked, pitted prunes and mara­ schino cherries, cut petal-wise. To petal the cherries, drain well then cut up toward the centre into 5 petals. The cherries and prunes should make a regular pattern. Roll out two 8 inch squares of dough, either tea biscuit or bread, about 1 inch thick. Cut each in four strips. The first four Strips lay crosswise of the pan; the second four strips weave’ lengthwise of the pan so that when finished it looks like a piece of rather amateur men ding. Bake in a hot plectric oven for 15 minutes, |hen reduce the heat and finish baking. Invert while still warm so that all the butterscotch mixture glazes over the square. Serve yrarm. It’s quite lovely—the golden glaze, the dark prunes, the bright red cherries. ■s * sk Tako a Tip 1. Candles won't drip if chilled several hours in an electric refrig­ erator before lighting. 2. Wipe piano keys with cloth slightly dampened with denatured alcohol—soap stains ivory. ■s * * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. C. E. asks: Can you suggest an agent to remove .mildew frpm shower curtains? Answer: If they are made of cotton or canvas soak in soapy water, then, without rinsing, dip them in a solution of copper sul­ phate (get this at your drug store). This simple treatment protects fabrics against mildew even after home laundering. 4s # # Anne Allan invites you to write to her %the Times-Advocate.

A headache need not be an illness in itself, but it may be a warning symptom that there' is intestinal sluggishness within. To help overcome the cause of headache it is necessary'to eliminate the waste matter from the system. Burdock Blood Bitters helps to remove the cause of headaches by regulating, the digestive and biliary organs, neutralizing acidity, regulating the constipated bowels and toning up the sluggish liver, and when this has been accomplished the Headaches, should disappear.

They will read anything from dime novels up, but they prefer the bet­ ter books, books ot today, telling of the world in whifth.they liye and to which they will return when the fighting is over. Books are great morale builders for our forces. They offer a respite from ever-present danger. And they are the best possible preparation for the fighting man’s tomorrow. The minister of national war Services, Major-Gen. L. R. La- Fleche, has stressed this need again and again and to the Imperial Daughters of the Empire he has issued a special appeal to under­ take an immediate expansion of the important work of the Order has been doing since the war began. So, all across Canada, there is a campaign to raise $300,000 for its . service libraries at home and overseas. < The books, remember, are distributed free, either on ship­ board or in libraries organized and maintained by the IODE where needed. How valuable the work is may be judged from this, that more than a million books have been given to the armed forces already —more than 234,000 in 1944 alone. Books and magazines may be left at the post office and will he forwarded free of charge. top DINNER IS READY- _^®&FOLKS! tews Bl I AW, MOM! STEW AGAIN? ( YOUNG MAN, APOLOGIZE !■ TO YOUR MOTHER!
