Hints For Homebodies

es: galore, which ev:xyone ate, but I
notices' that the fat ones tried every
variety, while the thin ones passed
up some of them:'
Thins we had' salads, potato and
cabbage, The potato slid was a par-
ticularly good one, with,. an oi1' dress -
leg. You should have seen the fat.
contingent boe into :hat potato salad!
When the salads were passed again,
they all ,took generous helping's of the
potato salad; but:if the thin ones took
a second helping, they took the cab-
bage salad. They could cat a large
quantity of the cabbage salad •without
adding many calories: But did the
fat fellows choose that? No, not they.
They "wanted the potatoes and tate oil
and more calories.
When the dessert time carne, thiere
were several kinds of. tarts, no end
of cakes, and ice -stream. 'I1ae fat pee
plc: tried every variety of tarts, and
any of the cakes that they liked spec-
ially, they at least had two pieces.
One friend of mine, who seriously be-
lieves that she is working very hard
to reduce; had three large pieces of
cake with a scruniptious strawberry
icing. As for ice-cream, nearly all the
fat once had a second helping and on-
ly one of the thin ones. There was
some left, that they were trying to
get rid of. Who do you think the
waiters asked to have snore? Right
yon are. Most of them cleaned nip on
a third helping, too. The fattest of,
all, laughed his way through the Meal..
There certainly is something in this,
'laugh and grow fat',
You ask where I came in, in this
category. I told you in the first place
1 was in between the lean and the fat:
This' being courteous to tourists is
.e fine idea, but it seems to me, that.
it is being carried too far, in one dir-
ection. Whichever way you turn, you
vri11 find fitting stations (for both car
and occupants), decorated with flags.
It is a kindly thought to use, tate U.S.
flags,: but when as many Stars and
Stripes are used as Union Jacks, then,
1 say, that.. is too much. How do we
expect to teach patriotism and loyal-
ty to our flag, to the young people,
if a foreign flag is on display at every
turn? In these days, it is a Wise child
that knoWs it's own flag, Let us fly
per flag,:; unfortunately' we have no
Canadian flag. to ;fly; but let us fly
bath Union Jacks, and Stripes, only
user common-sense and good -taste,
end have them in their proper pro-
portion. Any thinking American must
feel amused at the number of their
own flags that they see: It is a thou-
ghtless disrespect to our own belov-
ed flag, and is poor tourist -bait.
Fat People Like to Eat
There is no question about it,
most fat people are fat because they.
like to eat, and unconsciously pick
the vety foods that make them fatter..
The foods that people choose always
interest me acrd the other day at a
picnic, I had a chance to watch, so
will tell you what I saw. l happened
to be placed between the fat and the
lean. To the right of me were several
thin people and to the left were the
fat ones.
We were fortunate enough tr, have
delicious food, well -cooked. Of course
nn=e` had picnic appetites, which im-
proves any food, but, as there were
about 200 there, it does not stand to
reason, that they would all be good
,cooks. However, as 1 said before, we
'.mere lucky enough' to get nothing but
de?itious food. There were sandwich -

Mother' Restored to Family
Ir' you asked the average happy and
comfortable Ontario housewife what
a. gain of 4974, pounds would mean to
her, she would probably look aghast
hoat the very suggestion. Suppose;

Mrs. Roberts, a woman with a family
«f young children in a small Obtarlo
town where there was "little to earn
and many to keep," growing weaker
arid weaker from overwork and pov-
erty, finally obliged to leave her little
renes to friends and neighbors and be-
take herself to the Toronto Hospital
for Consumptives.
Then began she long, long fight to
.,ut back the precious pounds, which
to Mrs. Roberts and so many like her,
mean milestones on the road to
neatth. Thanks to ten months of good

SUGAR FROM COTTO
New Product 111: anu'aactttred at Lenr
Cost May ].lo' More Useful Timm
Ordinary Sugar.
Ieeeeatly it has been discovered by
those .modern mirael0 workers, the
chemists, that one of the waste pro-
ducts of cotton -seed eau be made into
sugar at very low cost. Writing' on
the subjects iu Popular Mechanics,
George W. Gray says:
"This sugar, wla,ch is known to
science as xylose, has heretofore been
so rage that. it sold at '•"i1 a pound.
But now chemists of the, Bureau of
Standards, under whose direetiou
these notable e:tperiments ' were
trade, find that from every ton of
waste they can produce a quarter ton
of the sugar. Since more than a mil-
lion toes of waste aro available each
year, and since the cost of extraction
is low, we have the possibility of
50,00Q tons of sugar at a few cents
tt pound.
" `Candy manufacturers and bak-
ers have asked for samples,' said
W. E. Emly, who is in charge of
this research at the bureau, 'And
they are experimenting with the
sugar in their laboratories to deter-
mine its possibilities as a food. Xy-
lose is not as sweet as Caine sugar,
but it may have other qualities to
make up for this deficiency.'
"Experimenters in one laboratory
fed it . to rats and watched results.
They report that the sugar passed
through the rats unchanged and'.
without 111 effects. In other words,
it apparently provided sweetening
without entailing any fattening. You
can easily imagine what this will
mean if the sugar proves to operate,
the same way in the human system.
No need then for physicians to warn
stout persons to avoid candy: How-
ever, Mr. Emly states much more ex-
perimenting is needed, in his opin-
ion, before we can label xylose as a
non-fattening sugar.
'There are possible jobs for sugar
other than in the restate offood-
stuffs, however. Explosive manufae
turers are trying to nitrate the xy-
lose, that is, to convert : it into an
explosive, just as wood fibre and gly-
cerine are converted into guncotton
and dynamite by treating them with
nitric acid. If these experiments suc-
ceed, a moire powerful or cheaper
form of explosive may result. Others
are trying to convert the new sugar
into acids or alcohols, and in either
form it might be valuable for use in
lacquers or enamels.
4" -"The new sugar is made front the
shells of the cottonseed which remain
after the cotton fibre has been strip-
ped off, and after the rich kernel.
'has been rennoved from the inside of
the seed to be crushed for its oils
and ground into meal for cattle feed,
Experiments also show that the same
sugarmay be extracted from peanut
shells. hen the xylose industry
gets established, it may also provide
a market for the farmers' peanut
shells, of which 5 0,00 0 tons are pro-
duced annually in the United States?'
ABOUT SPIDERS
Coamtnotx Home and Outdoor Shiers
Are Worth Studying.
Our common home and outdoor
spiders are worth studying: There is
a small brown one which does not
seem to weave a net, but just drops
a single line down from some high
place. Then there is a large one that
has a very keen hearing, for it is al-
most impossible to get near enough
to him to see him. He'spins .a web .I
in the eorner, always by choice, it
seems, and it is as large as a corner
bracket, and as closely and • finely
woven as a lady's tissue 'veil, and of
a delicate pear1 color.
He sits hack in the furthest corner
and waits for flies. If he is very
hungry he sucks the blood et once,
and then rolls the body off the edge
of the web, for he is a. very clean
housekeeper, and you seldom see the
dead lies in his house. If not hun-
gry he wraps the Ay up tightly, like
a mummy, with a cord he Spins from
his body, and lays him to one side
till he has an appetite.
There is another kind of spider
that lives in the grass. He is called
the ground spicier. His nest is beau-
tiful. At its opening a web is spread
and from the centre starts a perfect
tunnel, whieli leads to its retreat
deep down in the grass. Sometimes
it is three inches long, andalways
perfectly round. He seizes ,his prey
and runs down into'his tunel, and
eats him in retirement. Spiders real-
ly do not eat insects; they only suck
the juices from ,their bodies. and
throw away 'the rest,

Can Be used torr General Household
Purposes,
The usefulness of the onion as a
cooking agent, is known to most
housekeepers, but that it can be used
for general household purposes is not
l so well known,
Rust stains on steel knives can be
removed with. the Juice of a raw'
onion. Rub a slice ever the affected
parts, then polish in the usual way.;.
Try the juice of at onion for remov-
ing burnt foodstuff that clings to the
sides of .aa aluminum saucepan. Rub
well into the metal, then fill the pan
with water and; boil briskly for half
au hour. This will loosen the burnt
food, leaving the ln.eide of the pan
quite clean.
Onion . juice can be used for pol-
ishing tinware. Allove it to dry on
the metal, then polish in the usual
way. Linen that has become slightly
scorched through faulty pressing
should be rubbed with slices of raw
onion. Rub the juice well into the
fabric, leave for a few minutes, then
wash in a waren soapy lather and
rinse in tepid water,

Winter Feed Situation
There will bemany, barns without
the usual supply of feed this 'conning
winter, In the drought areas the
cows are on full winter rations, ,The
aniotint of feed that will be available
for winter feeding is being reduced
by just this mach. One suggestion
to meet the situation is that some
herd culling will be in order. In tnost
herds of ten or twelve: cows there ,are
two to four' cows definitely known to
be lower producers than their stable:
nates. If these were tobesold'
it
would reduce the consumption of feed
from 20 to 40 per cent while the re-
