Mrs, Phil was busy baking so I volunteered to • do the breakfast dish- es. She didn't look exactly pleased as she planned on washing the bake.- dishes along with 'the breakfast ones. 1 discovered- that later. In trying to get the water for the dishes I spilled part of a tea-kettle full on the kitchen floor which had been scrubbed on the day before. The water turned very: greasy after a little while so I had to get more and then Patricia Ann cluck- ed the clean dish-towel into the water and we had to get a new one. I broke. a cup and Patricia Ann finished the- matching saucer and we were chase& out of there, I tried sweeping and got along fam- ously. There didn't seem to be any.- point in gathering up the dust when it could be neatly swept down tI'iroug' a crack in the floor into the cellar, I (lid that until Mrs. Mrs. Phil caught me at it and she chased both Patricia. Ann and myself upstairs. We made the beds. It seems there is a certain knack in making beds. I never knew about it before. We got the sheets mixed up with the blankets and landed ulr . with a gaudy blanket on top. Then I tried dusting out the front parlor and upset the vase her mother gave us one Christmas. Because 1 never- liked that vase there were grave doubts about it being an accident. Finally 1 bundled up and decided to go down to the barn. On the way down I slipped on the ice and the doctor tells me'that I'll have to star inside for a week. Mrs. Phil doesn't: relish the idea and Patricia Ann thinks.• that it's wonderful. Now I'll be able to read stories every day.

Boyle A woman has a lot to contend with around a house. That's especially true in the case of the average farm house where• she hasn't got the con.- Venierices of the average city home. The cistern pump freezes tip. The man of the house forgets to split en- ough wood out in the back woodshed and the woman finds herself eonfront- -ed with a real problem, About the biggest problem she can have however is when. the treats of the house gets 'sick. Mrs, Phil is looking over my shoulder as I write this 'so I simply can't tell anything else but the truth. I sprained my back last week when we were out in the bush looking over the trees. and planning what we would cut down for fuel, There was a lot of snow and I slipped on some ice and fell on a log that was partly covered by loose snow. My feet went from under me when I was getting up and by chore time I could hardly stand up straight without "cricking" my back something terrible. Next morning I could scarcely move around at all. Higgins, my neighbour, said that he would look after the chores. All day long I sat pinned to the one rocking chair. Patricia Ann brought all her story books so as to not miss an opportunity. I had the Three Little Pigs and the Godilocks story and all the other tales going around in my head so badly by night that I could scarcely think straight at all. It was quite an experience but the*little girl took a terrific delight in it. This was the best opportunity she had ever had. By next morning my back had eas- ed up somewhat. It wasn't nearly as acute but I still couldn't navigate out to the barn for the chores. There was sun that day so that every time I sat by the window the thought of the first sunny day in months and the amount of work to be done drove me frantic. The idea of having a sleep didn't work very well because Patricia Ann simply climbed up on my stom- ach and grasping both of my ears had Stalin Expresses Victory View London, -- Premier Joseph Stalin has sent a message to President Roosevelt expressing his conviction that "joint military operations of the armed forces of the United States of America, Great Britain and the U.S. in the near future will bring about victory over our common en- emy," a Moscow dispatch said. May Force Shorter Liquor Hours Ottawa,, — The Ottawa. Evening Journal said it was "reliably informed" that ,"if the Ontario Liquor Commis- sion continued refusing to conform with other provinces in limiting the hours of beer sales, Ottawa was pre- pared to invoke the War Measures Axis armies, staggering from-a winter- Act." Minister 'Of Food Talked Ottawa, For the creation of a food ministry with a fobd board oper- ating under it, the agitation is quite, strong and evidently gathering Some . momentum. It started on the outside, where it has enlisted the support of several bodies, and it was reflected in the House, Mr. Graydon, at the outset, wanted to know what was like- ly to be ,done about it, the prime min- ister answering that "any matter of policy would be announced in due... course," That is a stock answer to, such queries. Ashpit and Radiation Loss BY ashpit loss is meant the heat loss due to unburned or parn tially burned coal that falls through the grates into the ash- pit. This is usually caused by vig- orous and too frequent shaking of the grates. This waste can be entirely dinninat- ed by shaking the grates gently and only up to the time that the first red glow appears in the ashpit. It is net necessary to shake the grates every time a fresh charge of coal is placed in the fur. nate, The number of times a day that grates should be shaken de- eiulg upon outside weather on. ditlona. Burned out or warped grates will also permit unburned •tp coal to fall into the ashpit. Radiation loss means loss of ' heat that is thrown into the base- ment by uncovered boilers, warm air ducts, hot water lines or steam lines. In this respect they as radiators. If it is necessary' to heat a basement room, do so by means of equipment where- by the heat out- put can be con- trolled. According to,' heating specifica- tions, all boilers , should be covered with 236 inehes of asbestos cement. Or its equivalent. ver-heated base,- Montt may Mean+ chilled rooms Upstairs.
