DOMESTIC SCIENCE,AT HOME, ' Fourth Lose= The mission of food in the body is to repair, build new tissue and to furnish heat and energy to the body for the daily tither.

Upon close study we find that digestion starts in the mouth and stomach and finishes in the inteltines.

"They have had their time -table smashed to smithereens at the first go," was the joyful comment, "Wait till our lads get across, they'll let 'em know." In these days there was very little bitterness against the Germans. The terror of war had scarcely been felt. t People talked about the untold mil - Bas oof Russian soldiers who would be in Berlin by the following October.

The real trou.ble, that which causes all the pain and difficulty, Is avid In the stomach, usually due to, or aggravated by, food fermentation. Acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind whin distends the stome.ch normally, causing that full bloated feel. trig.

For currant jelly wash the currants by placing them in a colander or in a sieve. Dip the colander in plenty of cold water and shake around. Drain and remove the currants from the stems, and measure them before pine- ing..them in the preserving kettle. Three quarts of prepared currants, three cupfuls of water. Place cur- rants and water in a preserving kettle and bring to a boil. Use a wooden potato masher to mash fruit while cooking. Boil for ten minutes and then place in a jelly bag or in a piece of cheesecloth. Then lay it in a col- ander to drain. Do not squeeze; this would cause the pulp to work through and make the jelly cloudy. Then measure the jelly and allow one cupful of sugar for each cupful of the currant juice. Return the juice to the kettle and bring to a boil. Boil for eight minutes, then add sugar. Stir with wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Cook for ten minutes. Pour into sterilized glasses, cover and store in usual manner for jellies. Spiced Currants.—Three pounds of sugar, one pint of water. Place in a preserving kettle. Bring to boil and cook for ten minutes, watching care- fully. Do not stir the sugar after boiling has begun, then add -spice bag, four quarts of prepared currants. Cook slowly for three-quarters of an hour, stirring constantly with wooden spoon to prevent scorching. Fill into steriliz- ed pint jars, seal at once. For the spice bag take four blades of mace, one stick of cinnamon, broken in bits, two pieces of ginger, one-half tea- spoonful of whole cloves. Tie in a piece of cheesecloth. This bag must be removed -before storing the cur- rants. Prepare the currant:. as direct- ed for jelly, To Store Currant .Juice.—The juice of the currants may be prepared, bot- tled and stored up for future use, when it may be made into jelly, used for sauces or with carbonated water as a thirst quencher. Currant Juice.—Six quarts of pre- pared currants, two quarts of water. Place in a preserving kettle'bring to a boil and boil for twenty minutes. Fill this juice into sterilized bottles. Then place the bottles in a hot-water bath and process twenty minutes after boiling begins, for quart size, Cork and then cool, dip the tops of the bot- tles in hot sealing wax. Spiced Currant Jam. --Rub the pulp of the currants used in making cur. rant juice through a fine sieve. Mea- sure and add three-quarters of a cup- ful of sugar to each cup of this pulp. Place in a kettle and stir to dissolve the sugar. Then add the spice bag. Bring to a boil and cook slowly .until thick like jrvdt. Pour into sterilized glasses or other containers that may be sealed by covering with hot para - wax. For the spice bag take two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, one tea- spoonful of nutmeg, one teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of alspice. Tie securely in a piece of cheesecloth. This spice bag must be removed be- fore the jam is stored. This jam is delicious on cold meat. Simple Remedies. I have found several drugs indis- pensable in the home, which, under trade names, cost several times as much. It is very often possible to buy antiseptics and water softeners at a great saving in this way. For instance, boric, or boracie, acid as a drug is inexpensive, yet I have had to pay several times as much_for it when purchasing under a trade name. This acid is one of the most widely used eye remedies, and is the principal ingredient in most of them. The same is true of most foot powders. For an eye wash I use a saturated solution. This same solution is also a splendid antiseptic, and I keep a small quantity made up for this purpose. It may be used on open wounds without pain. This is very effective, and is also non-poisonous. As a foot powder the acid is used in the powdered form. One or two spoon- fuls to a shoe relieves tired, aching, and sweaty feet, and also removes all odors. I keep a bottle containing a saturat- ed solution of borax for use in my sink. A few spoonfuls of this , softens the water and brightens alu- minum ware, A mixture of half borax and half sugar is an excellent ant poison. THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR King George Has Changed the Appel. felon of British Royal Family. The Royal family of Britain is of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The Hanoverian line ended with the :mar- riage at Queen Victoria and Albert, Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. George V. lives up to the conception of a "Patriot King." He has now struck out the German names used in the description or the British Royal fatally. Several weeks ago German titles held by connections of the Royal family, such as the Tecks and Batten - burgs, were abolished, and new Brit- ish appellations found for them. Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is now dropped as the name of the reigning dynasty, Henceforward it is to be the House of Windsor. That is a line old historic English name, after the castle which has for so many centuries been one or the chief abodes of Royalty. The change will he welcomed by the Brit- ish people, at home and in the outer parts of the Empire. Windsor is a parliamentary and - municipal borough and market town in Berkshire, on the Thames, 22 miles west of London. The village of Old Windsor is about two miles to the east, where was situated the royal residence, granted with the town by Edward the Confessor to the monks of Westminster, William the Conqueror regained possession of it and occasion- ally resided there. Windsor Castle, the chief royal palace of England, stands oil an eminence near the Thames, and the buildings and lin, mediate gardens cover twelve acres, while there is a park of 1,800 acres. Henry 1. made extensive additions to the fortress constructed by William the Conqueror and the fortress became a palace. Edward III. was born there and alter his accession lie rebuilt and enlarged the palace. James II, and Wililam er Orange added fine collec- tions of paiutiugs. During the reigns of George ITT. and George IV., more than $5,000,000 or public money was spent on the castle. Aa the prilicipal Royal house in the lintente, the Windsors' conrse will no doubt have direct intionce Upon other monarchs, such as' King Albert of Belgium, who is of the House of Saxe- Coburg-Gotha. Thus another atop is • taken in the isolating and discrediting of Teuton royalty. TO SWEEP GARDEN WITH Princess Mary Wanted Nice Hard Broom For Young Prince. Princess Mary likes an open.air life, and has been often seen riding with the King during his Majesty's early morning rides, both in London and at Windsor. She made her debut in the hunting field when she was only eleven, attending a meet of the West Norfolk Foxhounds on her chestnut cob. As the only daughter in a family with fiveboys, the Princess has shared her brothere' games and re- creations. She enjoys shopping, and takes great trouble to obtain the par- ticular presents which she sets her heart on. Par instance, she once asked in a LoAdon shop for a small hard broom. They had not one. "I want a nice little hard broom for my brother to sweep garden paths with," said the Princess. Since the war Princess Mary has made a quantity of things for sale and distribution on behalf of war funds.

All soldiers are now instructed what to do when a hostile scouting aero- plane is sighted by troops on the march. On the warning "Aeroplanel" every 'man drops on hirv.right knee, with his head bent well over the muz- zle of his rifle—to look up is fatal, for it creates a "sea" of white faces— which is held in a sloping position in front of the body. All ranks then re- main as motionless as they possibly can until the aeroplane has passed over them. In fact, they may be said to "freeze,' as wild animals froze when seeking to evade observation.

The English Language is 'Constantly Being Enriched by Now Terms.

The -lat- ter word, in all its war -paint, actually appears in the latest volume of the new English Dictionary. But some words are still required, so get busy and see whether you can find them!

A 10 It is the duty of every subject of the Allies to help win the WAR, and they can best do it by preventing WASTE and storing up for the COMING WINTER all food products, especially those perishable foods such as fruits and vegetables. This can be accomplished easily by using one of the NATIONAL CANNING OUTFITS. With the aid of one of these all kinds of fruits, corn, peas, tomatoes and beans can be cooked, which will keep indefinitely when properly prepared.

SMOKELESS ERA OF THE FUTURE NOT SO PAR DISTANT AS SOME MAY IMAGINE, Electricity is Just Coming Into Its Own and Will llizisaecse. Coal For Ailpu Who can prophesy the efface elec- tricity will have on our future life? It is beyond the wildest dreams of Jules Verne, The country will be covered With a network of wires 'which, view- ed from an airplane, would resemble a huge sieve. Whether it be for actuat- ing a transcontinental railway system or for cooking a7"stepless meal" on the dinner table, all our power and heat ewill some day be drawn from this Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the elec- trical wizard at Schenectady, U.S.A., wrote: "When -we use nothing but electrical power for heating as well as f Or other purposes, the supply will come through transmission lines from big central stations of many million horsepower, These stations will be lo- cated wherever power is available, such as at waterfalls, coal mines and oil and gag wells. This will do away with the wasteful process of hauling coal from the mines to the relatively small power houses scattered all over the country, As Cheap As Water. "It may be that at the coal mines, instead of taking out the coal and burning it the way we do now, power will be generated in the mine itself by setting the coal in the veins on lire. No—this is not beyond the dream of possibility. It has already been seri- ously proposed by an eminent English scientist. Startling will be the changes effected by such a supply of electricity. Electrical power will bo used so generally that it is •very like- ly the cost will be on the basis of a tax, like our water tax. For example, so much a plug, as we are now charg- ed so much a faucet. It will be very cheap and it will not pay to install meters and have them read and keep the accounts in the offices of the elec- tric companies. "To -day water is used universally, and no one would think of making a charge to a friend or even a stranger for any amount of it. If you make a call in your electric vehicle, the vehicle Will be run into your friend's base- ment and the batteries will be charg- ed while you are making your call. It won't make any difference whether you get your electric current from your friend's plug or from the plug in your own home—the tax will re- main the same." Think of the smokeless age that is coming. It is not so far distant as many of us imagine! AVOID WASTE. A. National and-77individual Duty at This Tune of Food Shortage. The world war has taken so many producers from the sources of food supply that the world's consumption of food is greater than the amount available, and, consequently, food reserves are being rapidly depleted. Millions of men are actively engaged in warfare and in the supply of muni- tions and equipment. They are fight- ing our battles and we must provide their food. Canada will produce all... the food we can consume, but Can- adians have never been known as a selfish race. Our'allies, therefore, are. depending upon us for help and our people will unquestionably respond with generous hand. The time for planting for 1917 is past, but the time of harvest is yet to come. There is very often much waste at this time, due, in many in- stances, to the lack of 'a demand at market prices. Fruit, especially, sup- plies much of this wa.ste and yet, while this waste is taking place, many 2 families are compelled to go without it for lack of means to pay the market prices. Local organizations could easily arrange to bring the consumers in touch with this surplus fruit that it might not be wasted. The. use of such perishable food, which would otherwise be wasted, will help to ia- crease the supply of exportable food. There is also much urate in the kit': chens and dining -rooms of Canadian homes. The waste in bread alone is a considerable item. Bread has been looked upon as one of the cheaper staple foods and little care has been- talcea to prevent its waste by drying up, the discarding of crusts, etc. A little thought will show what this waste amounts to when the cumulative result throughout Canada is consider- ed. Sir Robert Borden has said that: Canada is in the war "to the last man and the last dollar," Canada is also in the war to:the last pound of food. Canadians are their' brothers' 'coopers, and will feed thorn, cost what it may. 11 is.,neceSearY, therefore, that we praelase economy of the food supply. to put into practice thrift and rigid It is better to clelouisolves from. no denying that there will be a food economy in the Use of food, ehoice than from necessity, There is shortage, and the 'present is the time Bread to be wholesome for any member of the family. should be thor- oughly baked.
