The Munitions Department announc-
ed that to assure the most equitable
distribution, of available coal supplies
dealers now must give to consumers
who have less than one-quarter of
their annual fuel requirements on hand

Neary every Victory gardener is
making plans for a bigger and better
vegetable garden for next season. And
many tasks can be accomplished this
fall-which the busy gardener will find
difficult to crowd into next spring's
work schedule.
This is the time to improve the soil
for next season. If the Victory gar-
den soil proved troublesome this year.
because it was a heavy clay type, the
chance are it has become water-logged
and will never give adequate garden
results until it has been properly
drained.
As illustrated in the accompanying
Garden-Graph, pipe or tile draining is
the method most commonly used for
garden drainage. This year when it is

almost impossible to purchase pipe,
and difficult to obtain tile, an effective
method of drainage calls for 'the dig-
ging of trenches, as illustrated, and
then filling them in with rubble which
will permit the water to run off. The
rubble should be about nine inches in
depth, and, if possible, covered with
a layer of old sods turned upside
down.
Any area of the garden which has
not been planted with a cover crop
can be ridged, as illustrated. This
method exposes larger areas of the soil
to the action of frost. 'Freezing re-
sults in breaking up the soil into fine
particles making it more porous. Ridg-
ing is done by shovelling the soil into
hills or "ridges" from six to eight
in oh es high.

You can, too, make a grand piecrust.
If you're worrying about it, follow the
rules and don't fuss. And fillings are
as legion as they're luscious, so try
our suggestions.
Double Crust Pastry
2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt,
% cup shortening, 5 or 6 table-
spoons water.
Soft flour and salt. .Cut in short-
ening. Add cold water by spoonfuls,
tossing flour mixture together. Turn
onto a piece of wax,, paper. Gather
up and pressing from the outside form
a compact mass. Chill in electric re-
frigerator. Roll out lightly.
Plum Pie
Cook plums in a little water until
soft. Remove stones, mix with sugar
to sweeten (about 1 cup) and a table-
spoon of cornstarch. Drain of excess
juice. Slice in one apple. Fill lined
pie 'plate, cover and bake.
Pumpkin Pie
11A cups cooked strained pump-
kin, % cup sugar, 2 tablespoons
butter, 2 tablespoons mollasses
(if obtainable), 1 teaspoon ginger,
1 teaspoon cinnamon, lZ teaspoon
salt, 2 eggs, 11/4 cups scalded
milk,
Mix first five ingredients to gether..
Add beaten egg yolks and mix in milk,
Fold in stiffly beaten whites. Bake
in one crust.
Peach Pie
2 cups cut up peaches, %
teaspoon allspice, cup sug-
ar, 1 teaspoon butter, 1 teaspoon
-cornstarch.
Mix the ingredients together. Use
as filling for two-crust pie.
Note: If the boy or girl is uniform
is expected, cut narrow bias strips
of pastry and outline the name or
rank on top of the pie before it goes
into the oven,

TAKE A TIP:
1, To make a flaky pie-crust more care
must be taken than in making a
crumbly crust. Very soft fats do not
make as nice a flaky crust as the
firmer fats (lard or shortening).
2. Sift flour and measure. Add salt,
3.1n mixing the ingredients for cold
water pastry be sure the shortening
and water are cold, Cut two-thirds
of the fat in, using two knives —
one in•each hand "pencil style," or
pick and dr,ip pieces of fat with
some flour until mixture is like
coarse oatmeal. Sprinkle a little
water on at a time using a fork to
toss the mixture together,
4. When the mixture can be moulded
together place on a slightly floured
board and roll out with a floured
rolling pin, Dot on pieces of the
remaining fat. Vold and roll up hi
wax paper. Place in upper part of
electric refrigerator for at least 15
minutes,
8, Divide into portions for the number
of sheets and roll out, raising at the
end of each stroke.
6. Shift the sheet of pastry around a
couple of times while rolling into
a circular shape. Then flip hi half
shape which makes it easier to lift
to' pie plate; unfold and press into
shape of plate. Prick sd'vetal plates
to pt'event "bubbles," Put hi titbit
7, Roll out top crust quickly. Make
slashes or cut-outs for steam to es-
cape. Lightly dampen the edge of
the lower crust. Place top on, trim
With sharp knife using a downward
stroke, or clip with shears to with-
in 34 inch of plate and fold under.
S. Crimp the edge, pressing the edge
between the forefinger and thumb of
one hand and forefinger of the
other,
9. We cut &inch strips of butter
wrapping and wet it, then stick it
to the edge of pie plate and let it
fall over the dough. This prevents
juices from boiling out,
10, Place in hot oven (450°) for ten
minutes, then ,reset the automatic
electric dial to 350 for the remaining
thirty minutes for fruit pies.
Hints On
Fashions
- Many and varied are the silhouettes
and lines available in coats and so it
ought to be a comparatively simple
matter to select just the right coat for
general or for dress wear. Something
new is the modified butcher boy style
as shown in the accompanying sketch.
The coat, of black woollen, hangs
loose in back and is caught by a belt
in front, a good choice for the figure
that is a little short of perfection. It
offers a good line without appearing
too fitted. It is topped with a small
collar of black Persian lamb and worn
with a fuv.: beret.
,THE QUESTION BOX
With the announcement of the
rationing of jams and jellies, etc., we
are answering problems on jelly mak-
ing by sending our Wartime Jams and
Jellies leaflet to signed addresses —
yours for the asking.
Mrs. J. M. asks: Is bread flour
satisfactory for making pastry?
Answer; Yes, but use two table-
spoons per cup more shortening and
do not roll more than absolutely nec-
essary.
Mrs. S. G. asks: Will placing a
prepared pie in a warm place for a
few minutes prevent boiling over?
Answer: No, place cold pie in hot
oven. Lower the, temperature if it be-
gins to boil °Ter.

VICTORY GARDEN
FALL CLEAN-UP

Fall housecleaning and the Fall
garden clean-up are due.
Many insects, commonly found in
vegetable gardens, pass the winter in
different stages of their development,

on or beneath piles of plant refuse left
lying about by the untidy or innocent
gardner. Among many such insects
might be mentioned the tarnished
plant bug, imported cabbage worms,
flea beetles, striped cucumber beetles,
cutworms and leafhoppers. To reduce
infestation next year, all plant refuse
should be gathered up and burned just
as soon as the last crops of the year
have been harvested.
To destroy insects which lay their
eggs, cultivation of the garden should
be continued until freeze-up. Too
many gardeners allow the weeds to
grow unchecked during the late sum-
mer and autumn. This not only re-
seeds the garden with undesirables,
but affords suitable host plants upon
which many insects will lay their eggs
for spring hatching.
Clean up and destroy any insect

trees, shrubs, fences, building and

OPALS FOIL OCTOBER
Opal is the gem for October, It is
a great pity that for some years un-
deserved prejudices lessened the popu-
uarity of opal, one of the most beauti-
ful gems, Perhaps its fragile struc-
ture has contributed to its reputation
as an omen of ill luck. Sudden
changes of temperature sometimes.

Opal forms from a gelatinous silica
mass in rock crevices. A multitude of
cracks which develop in the jelly stage
are filled with different opal. The
variation of materials forming its-
structure causes the beautiful play of
colour • characteristic of the gem.
Precious opal is found in Hungary
and Mexico, but Australia is its real
home. It is considered the, national
gem of that country.

pletely digested When properly cooked.
You will find eggs a great asset to
your menus not only for their palat-
ability. but also because they can be
used in a variety of ways. Eggs are
used as:
1 Mainrdish—souffles, omelets, casser-
ole 'dishes.
2 Leavening agent—in sponge cakes.
The egg white holds air beaten into
it and forms a foam. If necessary,
half the amount of eggs in a sponge
cake may be replaced by milk and
'baking powder. 1 • egg-2 tlisp.
milk and 1/2 tsp. baking powder.
3 Thickening agent—the protein in the
egg coagulates. 1 egg may be re-
placed by 1 tbsp. flour or 14. tbsp.
,cornstarch.
4 Emulsions—in mayonnaise.

Now that meat rationing is estab-
lished, you probably have your own
system of meal planning in full swing.
In household of two or three people
you will find it more advantageous
to serve meatless meals a. couple of
times a week. You. can replace the
meat by foods such as eggs, cheese,
fish, poultry, which are in the same
category . nutritionally.
Eggs are important in our diets be-
cause they provide us with 'the best
quality protein, essential minerals and
vitamins A, D, B1 and B2. You
should eat 3 to 4 eggs a week; if you
plan to •have an egg dish for supper
you could use part of your weekly
supply this way.
Do not cook the eggs at a high
temperature as the whites become,*
tough—you should always use a mod-
erate, even heat for all types of egg
