COOKS IN21/2 MINUTES 868 Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown A pleasant Tonic There are times when a new dress makes a .pleasant tonic: A very pleas- ant tonic at thatl : Sometimes a little less pep to come and go on, , less time is spent on her personal ap- pearance. Her hair gets a slick back, instead of careful arrangement There is no : energy to polish finger -nails, and the shiny nose does.,ont get 'ev- en the customary dab of powder. Ev- ery glimpse she-, gets of herself in the mirror makes her feel worse, be- cause she can see that she looks worse. If she just has the luck to get a new dress at the physchological mo- ment there will be an immediate: im- provement. Maybe the old ones are perfectly good, not worn out a bit, but who does notg et tired of wear- ing even a good dress? When she tries on the new dress, she 'sees that her hair is a bit straggly, so ;she spends more time on it, possibly go- ing to the hair -dressers to have it curled. 'Then the • nails have to live up to the new dress. Maybe she uses a bit of rouge, if that is a habit, She feels that she looksbetter and, im- mediately begins to feel better and take a new lease cif life. Then when the next invitation, to go out conies along, she decides that she might as wello seeing that she Iris a g, �• w ne. dress. And so she : goes, and feels much the better for going out and seeing people and getting something else to think about. But it is all due to the new dress, which She likely needed. anyhow. Apple, Apple, Who Has The Apple. Where, oh where, are,the apples gone? Eve did not have half the trouble .getting rid of her apples that the Ontario fanners did in getting; rid of theirs this Fall, -There were parts of Ontario where the ground in the •orchards was covered with ap- ples that could not be disposed of. People would' not even take the trouble to come and get them, not even when they were given away, they were so plentiful. But what is the situation now that winteris here? Apples are being sold ` in our stores at 45 cents`. a dozen, and oranges are 29 cents. There is certainly some- thing wrong some place, for neither the grower nor the customer is get- ting the benefit, but how the situa- tion can be remedied is more than I can say. Winter Food Needs It is a very easy natter to get all the requisite minerals and ` vitamins in the summer diet, but it requires constant planning to include them in our winter ineals. Our food habits have changed very greatly in the last few years and people in cities and large towns can buy almost any var- iety of vegetable they want, The last tune T' bought a supply of vegetables, there were fresh "carrots, beets, green and yellow :beans, cauliflower, green onions:, cucumbers, tomatoes, egg planta•,arid green peas; in addition to.. all the usual winter vegetables to choose from. A great many of my readers can - net buy these fresh, vegetables, but. ilial' does not mean that they need lack vitamins: Cabbage is available for some time yet. Use freely, espec- ially raw, . Iodine is 'immediately destroyed by cooking and we need raw vegetables to prevent goitre. Sauerkraut is held in high esteem, and in restaurants you will frequently find sauerkraut juice on the .menu,' If you have not your own sauerkraut barrel in your cellar and find it hard to get, do not forget that canned sauerkraut is good and is very inex- pensive.

Strain `that swine mixture and serve as cock -tails. Use them „with macaroni or rice and lastly Blake tomato jelly for salad. So yott see it is possible to serve them several times a week andyet avoid monotony,: Lettuce can be purchased in most towns and is .a welcome change. Cel- ery should be usedas long as it is available. Grated raw carrots is an inexpensive addition to a salad. Let the children eat •a piece : of raw :car- rot or cabbage, but see that they chew it thoroughly. Onions canbe eaten raw and most children enjoy an onion "sandwich, Use, plenty of raw fruit. 'Canad- ians should be able to get apples and both grown-ups and children should eat then raw and cooked. Winter is the time for oranges and grape fruit.; Just at the present time grape fruit is at its cheapest. Some people protest they cannot afford to use grape fruit and oranges. If used as dessert they will not cost more than the average pudding and are less ex- pensive that pie. To sum up the winter diet,' use raw fruits and vegetables, plenty of cooked and canned fruits and vege- tables, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and if you add milk, eggs, meat, fish, cheese, cereals and the whole wheat bread, you will have a diet which will help you to maintain a condition of health, Grape Fruit Jelly Cut a grape fruit in sections and remove from skin. Sweeten gener- ously. When the sugar has dissolv- ed drain off the juice. Make a Cher- ry Jelly, using the grape fruit juice as part of the liquid. When the jelly has cooled and is beginning to set, add the grape fruit sections and mould in a dish > that has been rinsed with cold water. Turn out to serve.

"The lake has not been visited by white men since 1900," said the cap- tain, "and so is .still on the maps..

As many as 400 persons, usually women Work in the wells, passing the filled buckets from the water to the top by "We were invited by one tribe to go on a raid against another," he •said. "They offered us half the spoils, to consist largely of slaves. We didn't want any slaves, but we had a task on our hands to talk ourselves out of it." Although the expedition bagged plenty of game, the wild life there is rather scary, went on Capt. White. There is an old Spanish custom with the Abyssinians, he said, which in- sists'that every youth before attain- ing man's estate must kill some beast or man. An elephant equals fifteen men; a buffalo, ten; a rhino, five, and a lion, three. The low rating gives the lion, he said, is because lions are s more pleutifui than the others t When he wanted to get .back to civilization Capt. White squeezed his 6 feet 6 inches into a Moth plane and flew to London in seven and a halt days. The expedition covered abbut 15,000 miles.

This exodus is going on by two routes. One is via Yat and the oases of Kawar, and the other by way of Tao and the mountains of Tibesti. French African authorities have ent out armed camel corps to meet he Arab caravans at the frontier, and to escort them to the districts where they wish to settle. For weeks now the desert regions, dotted with oases, have seen long, slow caravans of men, veiled women, children and slaves, accompanied by their herds of camels, sheep and oats, moving slowly southwards, eaving behind them a deserted eouu- ry for the Italian forces to march oto. It is believed that the number of Arabs marching over the French bor- der is more than a quarter of a million. OLD MATRIMONIAL ADVT. g 1 Advt. Was Published in Swedish t Newspaper In 1771. • 1 The art of matrimonial advertising seems to be of old standing, judging from an insertion. in the Swedish provincial newspaper, the Cariskrona Vockoblad; of 1771, recently unearth- ed and reproduced in a Stockholm daily. It is as follows: "The honorable public will not too adversely note the following weIl- meant advertisement. As it some- times happens that a pretty and well- to-do girl long passes unnoticed just "beeause of .the fact that honorable suitors do not know her fortune, or how much her parents will bes:ew on Tier as a wedding gift, it is here- with announced that, now, an honor- able girl, 21 years of age, rather pret- ty, mannerly, a la mode and well- bred, who, besides, understands cook- ing, washing, baking, etc., which, no doubt, will be further improved through her intelligence when she, through marrying, gets more practice in househod things, possesses in pro- perty, real and movable, about 15,- 000 silver Dalera, besides which she expeets in a legacy from her old grandmother. If Some decent bache- lor, preferably a noble, clergyman or otherw.iee somehow Well -situated mat, should speeulate, a somewhat merle poetise address of the girl's guardian clan be had at the printing office of this paper. But it is stlpu- later as a condition that none but iyallant eavalitee, well-built and of good earriage, take the trouble el ellereng their names; in the opposite saes 'ne further particulars will be giroaia."

Noses, legs, hands, feet, cutaway coats, and baggy trousers are among the items on the insurance policies of celebrated American golf champions, cinema stars, and musicians.

Great War and Safty Razors Have Changed Fashion. In a paraphrase .of a famous line of Francois Villon, Le Petit Parisien asks: "When are the whiskers of yes- terday?" The paper then proceeds to answer the Question: "The war did it; the war perpetuated it; and now the safety razor has made it perma- nent. The 'poilus' who so gallantly rushed to the front in 1914 returned a few months, later `chauve avec la barge rasee.' Thus hygiene began the work, which was soon completr-'i: by feminine compliments at home, and we became a nation of priests— atleastleast as far as the absence of ca- pillary adornment was concerned. Then came •the safety razor frost, America, that land of the beardless Indian, and the thing was done." More sedate is the explanation giv en by another paper: "During th last few years young Frenchmen lta:. e taken to shaving much more compie- hensively than their fathers did. The absolute clean shave is now wide spread, and for the most part the moustaches to be seen are of thr diminutive military toothbrush var- iety.
