WAGE-EARNERS AND KIDDIES PAY The Amusement Tax scale now en- forced by the Ontario Government, by the very nature of its rates of tax- ation, forms a piece of class discrim- ination of the rankest type, according to the Allied Sports and Amusement Association which has made an ex- haustive study of the present and for - suer tax schedules. Not only does the new levy hit all forms of essential conamunity and sport activities but the heaviest burden is laid upon the shoulders of'the.working classes and their children. How the new Ontario impost hits the wage-earner and his family: is in a comparison of present and previous rates of those admissions which have been taxable over a period of years. The tax on a 30c ticket has jumped from 2 to 5c, or an increase of 150 per cent. Even the 35c admission price has a new levy which means an increase of 66 per cent., while the tax on 75c seats is only 25 per cent. high- er. The astounding fact is brought out that there is no tax increase what- soever on the $1.50 admission ticket, The general principle is that the high- er you go in the admission scale, the lower the rates of the tax increase. Under the previous Amusement Tax Act, all admission tickets of 25c and under were tax-free but the new as- sessment starts from the very bottom with an impost of lc on a 5c admis- sion, 2c on 10c and 15c tickets, and 5c on 20 and 25c admissions. This is a direct blow at those who are unable to provide for little more than the ac- tual necessities of life but who are just as much entitled to their hour or two of valuable recreation as any oth- er class in tithes such as these. In paying a 5c tax on a 20e ticket, the average roan or child will contribute an aggregate tax of 50c in attending ten ball games or community con- certs in as many weeks. The person who attendsla $2.00 performance pays only 25c tax for the same amusement investment or just half of what the ordinary man is called upon to meet in way of taxation. The ordinary man pays to play. x * * * CANADIANS .GREAT TELEPHONE USERS More telephone calls are made by Canadians than by the people of any other country. The latest figures, compiled from official sources by the Bell System as of January 1, 1934, show that 214 telephone conversations were held in Canada for every man, woman and child in this Dominion. This record is approached only by the United States where the compar- able figure for the year was 191.4. It is a matter of interest that Denmark with 158.7 and Sweden with 137.4• con- versations per capita were next in the line among the largest„ telephone -us- ing countries of the world.. Canada's outstanding development in the larger centres is a feature of the statistics presented in this world- wide telephone, survey. With 19.33 telephones per 100 population in com munities of 50,000 and more, Canada ranks second to Sweden which has a comparable development of 22,59 tele- phones. Denmark is third with 19.24 and is followed, in order, by Norway 18,88; Switzerland 18.82 and the Unit- ed States in sixth position with 18.54 telephones per hundred inhabitants in the larger cities. • Canada ranks high also in teleph©n- es in the smaller communities. With 7.43 per 100 population in: communit- ies of less than 50,000 popluation, this Dominion is led by the United States with 9.76 and New Zealand with 9.29 telephones in these less peopled areas. On the basis of development throughout the whole population, Un- ited States' is first with 13.29 tele- phones per hundred people, Canada second with 11.15 followed by New Zealand, 10.01; Denmark, 9.99; Swed- en, 9.51 and Switzerland, 8.81. Great Britain comes ninth with 4.78. These latest statistics make it clear that Canadians continue as they have done for many years to place a very. high value upon their telephones as indicated in the fact of their being the world's 'leaders in the use of the ser- vice. • * * * Kincardine calls their ball team Penetangs.

The cost of relief in many towns and cities is becoming so great that it will be impossible for these muni- cipalities to pay this expenditure by the usual method of taxing property. MILK WITH MEAT FISH ISH It is not without good reason that milk is so often used in cooking meat or fish. True, .all three foods, milk, meat and fish, belong to the animal protein class and to some it may not seen wise to use more than one of these body-building foods at a time, but it should be remembered that on Matter what other foods form the daily meals, milk should be included, allowing at least one pint per person. every day. By combining milk with meat or fish, part of this daily milk quota is supplied and at the same time the addition of niillc to any meat or fish dish provides extra nourishment. Still another point itt favour of the milk -meat or milk -fish combination is the fact that when meat or fish is cooked in a milk medium, it is made most digestible. The following recip- es have been tested and approved by the Milk Utilization Service, Dairy Branch, Dominion Department of Ag- riculture. Fish Loaf 2 cups cooked fish; flaked 1 cup soft bread crumbs 1/s teaspoon salt 4. teaspoon paprika % teaspoon grated onion 1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 eggs beaten 1 cup hot milk 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley Mix all ingredients together. Pack into buttered baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven 350° F. until firm in centre — about 30 minutes. Serve with Drawn Butter or Egg Sauce. Chicken and Ham Loaf Follow recipe for Fish Loaf using 2 cups diced, cold chicken and one cup chopped cooked ham, instead of fish. Use only tis, cup bread crumbs. Serve hot or cold.

JUNKET RECIPES The following recipes are taken from the publication "Milk Desserts" issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture:— Junket, the simplest of the milk des- serts, is made by coagulating Bake warm milk with rennet and adding the desired sweetening and flavouring. Rennet or junket, as it is commonly called, is sold in both tablet and pow- der forth, the latter containing sugar, flavouring and colouring in addition to the rennet. Jttnket is delicious ser- ved with crushed fruits or with whip- ped- create. Junket No. 1 1 junket tablet 1 tablespoon cold water 2 or 3 tablespons sugar Pinch of salt 1 quart of milk 1 tsp. vanilla or other flavouring Colouring if desit'ed.

Some foods seem to be just right for picnics — and cheese is one of them. Cheese sandwiches 'are, with- out doubt, the most popular and most practical way to serve cheese at a 'pic- nic. It is a good idea, and an easy matter• to vary the sandwiches from one picnic to another by making use of the many cheese fillings which can be so quickly and economically pre- pared. For tasty and nourishing sand- wiches blend cheese — either grated Canadian cheddar, processed,. cottage or cream — with salad dressing and add chopped green pepper, green on- ions, pimento, nuts, pickles, olives or celery. Use a generous amount of fill- ing with brown or white bread cut to suit the occasion - in other words not too thin, or, for a change, use the filling in buttered tea biscuits or rolls. Another suggestion is to serve plain buttered bread or rolls in place of the sandwiches and. make cheese aa part of the salad by combining grated cheese with the other ingredients or by serving a cheese dressing with the salad. For the dressing blend toge- ther equal parts of grated. Canadian cheddar cheese, processed, cream or. cottage cheese with salad dressing, folding in whipped cream if desired. Small balls of cottage or cream cheese, slices of Canadian cheddar or processed cheese, large prunes or cel- ery stocks stuffed with a cheese mix- ture all add flavour and food value to the picnic salad plate. And speaking of salads, keep in mind that cucumb- ers, tomatoes, celery, asparagus, pine- apple, peaches and pears are especial- ly delicious served with a cheese ac- companiment. Still another idea — For your next picnic make a panful of cheese straws or cheese biscuits and see how they are enjoyed. Cheese Straws 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1,4 teaspoon mustard dash of cayenne 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups grated cheese cold water Mix dry ingredients.

POTATO RECIPES Potatoes a la Suisse Ilake five potatoes and cut slice lengthwise front each.'

Slip an egg into each potato case and force potato mixture through a pastry bag and tube around edge. Return to oven and bake until eggs are set. Arrange on serving dish and garnish with water- cress. Deerfuot Potatoes Wash and pare potatoes of uniform size, Remove from each two portions —using an apple 'corer. Fill cavities thus made with sausages and insert rounds of potatoes to conceal saus- ages. Put in a pan and bake in a hot oven until potatoes are soft. Saratoga Chips Wash and pare potatoes.

A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA TUMOURS Tumours grow on plants as well as in the human or animal body. Tum- ours cane from one small microscopic cell which, for some reason, starts to grow and keeps right on growing, never performing any useful function. There are two kinds of tumours. Benign, or simple tumours, are growths which do not, in themselves, endanger Life. They may attain such size as to cause real discomfort and actual harm through pressure on ad- jacent organs. A fibroid tumour of the uterus which is benign may grow to the size of a football. The benign tumour does not spread and, if completely removed, it does not recur. Malignant tumours are destructive to life. Cancer is the most common of the malignant tumours. The term "cancer" is often used to include all of them, but it should more properly be restricted to the malignant tum- ours which arise in .the covering and lining tissues of the body. Cancers differ from the benign tum- ours in that they tend to .spread., Starting in one cell, they are, for a time, local growths, but, later, they extend. Just as long as the cancer is still a local growth, it can be remov- ed and the patient cured. Every can- cer is, for some time, a local tumour, so every cancer is curable for some time. All tumours, benign and cancerous, begin in one cell which starts out on an unchecked period of growth. We do not know why this happens. We. do know, however, that there is no evidence to show that germs have anything to do with it, There is no- thing to prove that a doctor or a nurse ever contracted cancer from a patient; There is no clear ,evidence that her- edity is a factor. At most, it may be that, in some families, there is a greater liability to tumours than there. is in other• .families. There is no e-vi- dence that a single injury, such as a blow, is responsible. There is, on the contrary, much evidence to show that repeated injury at ' one point,' which may be the result of such conditions as the mechanical irritation from fitting dentures or the inflammation of a cervix injured at ehildbirth, fav- ours the occurrence of .cancer at' the points involved:' Our attitude towards cancer should ispermummaissioniesismnionnwommasiaintsimin ■ it si iie Maitland rear •■ Buyers Of Crea ggs ry UNITED F 1;: 41VERS° CO-OPERATiiVE C 1'MPANY,on IId MIN is Win ham, PIF, I; e 27g Onfiario.
