Now that spring is here house mothers will find that the appetites of do several members of the family Inay be somewhat uncertain at times and it is well, when this happens, not to be unduly discouraged but to call upon the ingenuity to devise dishes which will tempt the most fastidious„ It is really not to be wondered at that a steaming plate of stewed beef, gravy and dumplings, which would look like a dish sent down from the gods on. a blustering clay in midwin- ter, has no appeal at all on a sunny perfect day in April. But if that same piece of beef were slowly stewed, cooled in its own juice, (just as little juice as it is possible to cook it in), sliced thinly and served on a crisp leaf of lettuce, with a -mound ofnicely made potatoe salad and perhaps a crisp pickle or a slice of tomato, a stick or two of. celery or a mound of tomato jelly, it is just what the appetite craves. Something green and crisp goes well these spring days and the housewife who fails to make use of such greens as come to her hand is not playing' fair with her family. And, for those who like them, (and those who do not miss ,such a lot that I cannot help being sorry for them), nothing tastes more appetizing than toma- toes, cooked or raw. The home- I canned ones, eaten simply as taken a from the can, 'with the addition of pepper and salt, just seem to touch I the spot. No vegetable grown can; be used in so many ways as the to- mato and those who understand these things tell vs no vegetable is more healthful, If your family like them serve thein often, If they do not like them devise some means of teaching them to de so, They will bless you in the future for it. Another standby in the spring is the egg, and this spring eggs have the added virtue of being cheap. There are so many ways in which an egg can be served. Hardboiled and served in salads, is a very popular 'way; fresh eggs broken into-indivld- nal buttered Pattie (Relies and cooped in a pan of hot water", then turned I out onto a mound of hot mashed po- tatoes, and a sprig of parsley or a leaf of crisp lettuce added to the plate makes a nice supper or lunch-; eon dish. If you de not wish the po- tittces serve lettuce and tomatoes or a mound of plain boiled rice, with a dash of red pepper jelly. This is a stain dish whish will satisfy ebnost any appetite,.by serving. two eggs to'ff the man of the house and the grow-! ing boy or girl, if necessary. Devil- led eggs and potato salad, with let- tuce, make a niee hot weather sup -1 per dish, while a simple boiled egg with nice bread and butter for a first: or' main course is not to be sneezed at, It may come as a distinct shock to lot of good cooks to be told that 1 they don't even know 'how to boil an egg. Science, has, however, upset old practices and theories. New met- hods of slow cooking for eggs are be- ing generally adopted as furnishing. more palatable and more rapidly di- gested foocl, Soft cooked and hard cooked eggs, cookedslowly at a mod- erate, even heat, have taken the place. of old swift -boiling methods, To cook eggs so that -'the whites will be tender, according to the Iat- est seie'uitic principles, the eggs should be placed' in cold water in a sauce pan ,having a rack at the bot- tom. The water should be heated gradually to simmering but not al- lowed to boil A cooking thermom- eter can be put to good use in pre- paring eggs, The temperature should. notbe allowed to go higher than 185 degrees. Once you note the delicacy of flavor of a nice fresh egg cooked so you'll not want to go back to the old, swift -boiling method.. COUNTY LIVESTOCK IMP'ROVE- MENT ASSOCIATION TO BE FORMED • At the January session of the Huron County Council the necessary by-law was passed establishing Hu- ron County as a "Better Bull Area," and coming, into effect on May lst, 1931. In any County or district where this by-law has been passed, any farmer buying a pure bred sire for the first time is eligible to receive a 20 per cent. bonus, from the Govern- ment on the purchase price of the animal, providing such animals have passed Government inspection and have successfully passed the tuber- culin test or are sold subject -to the testy Before any bonuses can be paid it is first necessary to form a County Livestock Improvement Association, which shall have as its object the general improvement of ail livestock throughout the County, It is through such an organization that the bon- uses in connection with the "Better 13u11 Area" are granted -nil, as this by-law comes into effect on May 1st, a meeting of all interested live stock men is being held in the Agricultur- al office, Clinton, on Saturday, April 25th at 2 p.m. 1lr. R. W, Wade, Di- rector of the Ontario Live Stock Branch, will be in attendance to out- line the policy and explain fully•the ccinditions on which bonuses will be paid, The formation of such an Amnia - tion should meati mach to the live- stock industry in Iluron County and breeders of pure-bred cattle in all townships of the County should plan to be in attendance at this meeting.. ADVENT OF SPRING SEES MORE BUILDING March construction contracts throughout Canada amounted to $27, 311,800 and was an increase of 5.3 per cent over the awards for Feb- ruary and a 12.0_per cent inereeee a- bove the total for 1ltarelt 1930.

A t hire Ammonia ',Acrd just .a little ammonia to ,the water when you wash your blankets this spring. It will make the woolens fluffier and lighter besides greatly aid in loosening the soil. Sonny's Blouses Don't discard those blouses 'thslt are worn on the cuff's or at the el- bows. Remember, summer is coming and :sleeveless blouse is just the nicest thing ever for those • chubby little arms. Parchment Shades It is about time: to take the win- ter's soil from the parchment lamp shades and perhaps the best way to do this 15 to dip a -Wool cloth into cold water and wring it fairly dry,' Moisten'with a little linseed oil and rub over the shade. Repeat 'until all dust is removed. Thenrub shade with a :dry woolen cloth. If your shades are looking a bit shabby why not give them a coat of white shel- lac? It will rejuvenate then won- derfully. Pot Holders • Use the worn cuffs from hubby's shirts and over thein with a pattern of gay cretonne and your pot hold- er is all ready for use. Old Felt Fats A discardedfelt hat comes in very handy to cut new inner soles for those comfortable old bedroom slippers that lost theirs long ago, Glue them in so they stay firm and comfortable, " Converted If you do a great deal of sewing and yet feel an electric sewing ma- chine is an extravagance, why not buy a motor for your old sewing ma- chine if it is in good condition? It will answer the same purpose, even though not as compact. Smeary Mahogany, We have all been confronted with that blue, smeary look on mahogany furniture and had trouble polishing it satisfactorily. Spronge it first with a cloth dipped in a solution of hot water and vinegar and then with a cloth dipped ' in a pint of warm. water to which 1 teaspoon of each linseed oil and turpentine have been added, Polish with a dry soft cloth and your smeary look will have dis- appeared. Mother's Day Out The day the bridge club meets means a bit of figuring on Mother's mart so she has an interesting dinner for the family just the same. If she wants to serve a casserole dish the best plan is to cools it within about a half hour's enmpietion in the morn- ing and then reheat it and continue reeking while she is preparing. the finishing touches of the meal, It will mean no worry for mother and a very nice surprise for the fancily. Timely Topics Put shoo trees in the shoes that are about to be cleaned. Use steel ribs from an old um - brute. for flower enol vegetable stakes. They will last several sea- sons. A newspaper Spread under the tab- le when the food chopper is in action will collect all bits of food that may miss fire. Look over the oven before using it and clean out any specks that may have dropped from the last us- ing. .These burned over particles cause a nasty smoke to fill the room and oven, if not cleaned out before the oven is started again. That Oily Smell If the oil stave smells very strong- ly of oil, drop a small piece of gum camphor into the tank and tree if it does not do away with much of the unpleasant odor. Grease Spots T'uller'a• earth sprinkled on the grease stains on the sills (tress and allowed to stay there over night will ferquently take out the.stain and no further treatment is necessary. Denim for . Draperies Denim new conies in most attrac- tive shades and may used to ad- vantage in the sunnier cottage as storable draperies 'vrithout any a - min o nt of expense. It launders eas- ily, - t1 v, too, and will stand the open Win- dows of sutra eettme for a long time without soiling, Cleaner Purses. ;'1'liere is nomore excuse for soiled leather handbags and purses than for soiled gloves, because a soft cloth wet with a good` cleaning fluid will clean thein beautifully. Many wo- men Use the Cleaner 'they bought for light shoes on their leather bags with great success. Pencil Marks Look over the children's clothes be- fore laundering and remove any pen- cil marks with an eraser. It will save you lots of effort later on. Brighten`' Up the Fish 1[f the goldfish does not seem up to the mark add a teaspoon of 'salt to the water, allowing 1 teaspoon to a ,quart of water. Frequently this treatmentwill brighten then up con- siderably. The Electric Toaster .So many toasters are allowed to stand around 'any oId place and col- lect plenty of, dust, at the same time losing their brightness. When •not in use keep it covered with a clean piece of muslin it you feel you must ]seep it out at all times. , Cantaloupes and Cucumbers •Cantaloupes, cucumbers, and ban- anas may be .kept in the refrigerator with safety if they. are put in indi- vidual bags and the tops of the bags twisted• tightly shut. No flavor from these rather odorous edibles will per- meate the rest of the refrigerator if this precaution is taken and natur- ally the articles will keel) longer in the cold atmosphere. Scrap Baskets Scrap baskets come for every room in the house and it is poor taste to nix therm up, TIte painted tin, wash- able ones belong in the kitchen and children's play room. There are very dainty ones with appliquid flowers that belong in the bed rooms and dressing rooms, while the living room `baskets are of heavy reeds and materials that add dignity to the room they grace. Electric Flashes Never operate any electrical de- vice or turn oft or on a switch when the hands are wet. Don't attempt to mend broken el ectrieal appliances without definite knowledge as to what ebonlcl be done. 1 Use only one hand in switching off or on electric lights. Keep the other hand free front, any possible ntetalir contact. Don't try to wire lamps with enor- mous lengths of wire tacked around doorways and snrheses, It is cheap- er to pay extra -money and have the n lug put where the lamp is desired. These long lengths of exposed wire are dangerous. hits and Buis If the meal seems skimpy, then it is time to open that can of soup. Windows will never steam if a pro- per amount of circulation 01 air is in the room. Always serve fish with utensils of silver as steel is apttto impart a clis- agt'eeable taste. 'Cut off the feet of your discarded. hosiery and use the tops for dust cloths. They leave no lint. When hemming a skirt take a double stitch every so often to make the hem more secure. Then if the hem catches and rips, it won't be a long rip. Canadian Forest Yield $500,000,000 'The annual value of forest pro- ducts in Canada is placed at ap- proximately $500,000,000 by the Cans adian Government Forestry service, and over 200,000 persons are employ- ed in the extraction and manufacture of the products of the forests of the Dominion. Canadian lumber, wood pulp, pulp- wood and paper ore exported to the United States, the British Isles, Aus- tralia, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, China and other countries. Last year the valve of these exports was over $291,000,000. . There are 8,000 saw mills and 108 pylp and paper mills in Canada. The saw -mills represent a capital invest- ment of 31.80,000,000 and the pulp and papers mills an investment of 3660,000,000. The former employ about 46,000 persons and the latter about 34,000.

N AsSOCIATS-sECRETARlr COMMUNICABLE DISEASES The communicable diseases are ,so named because they have certain characteristics `in conenten, the most outstanding and important being that they are all spread from one person to atnother:- Commmunicable diseases are caused by living agents called bacteria,, parasites or disease germs. Each disease has its particular germ. The germ et diphtheria never causes any disc aso 'except diphtheria, and so R. is with others inthe genet). The germs aro usually passed dir- ectly front one, person to another. Most of . the totlunnnicable diseases from which wa suffer in this country Iare spread in this manner, . 'The germs leave .the body in the secre- tions of . nose, mouth and throat. In the act of eough;ing, sneezing, 'expecte orating or loud talking, these secre- tions are thrown out into the sur- roundin.g air, into the :faces, of per- sons who are nearby and who re- ceive the germs in this, way. It is obvious that we should cough and sneeze only into a handkerchief, and that Ave should not talk directly into another person's face. The saliva is, of course, deposited on all eating and drinking utensils which aro placed in the mouth or.. which come into contact with th.e. lips. If these' utensils at:eused by another person before they bave been cleansed, the person'teices into his month the _ • t t ,tits individual's . saliva, y, whicha i may contain the � `m Y gm sofdis- ease. That is why it is unsafe to use contemn" eating or drinking utensils, the common thinlcing-cup constitut- ing e very real danger. It is also why dishes should be thoroughly washed after use and why there are laws requiring the sterliratien of dishes in public eating -places. You may agree that such care is Reasonable, providing some person. in the home is ill and that it appears sensible' to be careful outside the home, but you are apt to feel, when everyone in the home is apparently Iell w that no particular atcare C is riLC- essarY, that it isquite all right for everyone to use the common cup at the sink when drinking between, meals. The reason why this is not all right and why you need to talsecare at all tunes is, first 'of all, because it is only by remembering to be care- ful always, that you continue' to do so when this is necessary. The se- cond reason is that it is not possible to tell which persons have disease germs in their noses and throats. those suffering' front the disease caused by that particular germ, but germs may .also be )` b present t n 1 x yes- es who have' a c e overed, and, in tha, case of some diseases, even when the person has not been i11. The spread of the communicable diseases may, to some extent, bear-, rested bythe control of coughs, sneezes and expectoration, and by the avoidance of common eating and drinking utensils.
