The reports received from the
Ontario Penny Pank up until the
end' of February show $1,95(3.06 on
deposit from the VVingham School,
as compared 'with $1,598.47 of last
year.
Mr. Littleproud points out that
there are 476 schools narking use of

their ;.lasses. The percentage num-
ber of pupils taking advantage of

There are four cardinal features
to school. savings:
Regularity; Habits are formed by
regular repetition. Banking becomes
a habit through the making of regu-
lar despoits. This is encouraged by
having a regular "Flank Day", and

Last Saturday, April 9th,, was the
anniversary' of the Battle of Vimy
Ridge. Many Canadian soldiers with
their units celebrated the occasion.
This wonderfully courageous display
by the Canadian Corps wilt long be
remembered by all Canadians, but
the grin fact that so many who took
part in this famous battle lie buried
in Flanders Fields is also with us.

FROM HARAN TO CANAAN.
So Abram ,. went as Jehovah had
spoken unto him. How simple this
great thing is told! On the whole
face of the replenishing earth such
another sight was nowhere to be
seen. It was the single grand spec-
tacle of humanity on which angels
gazed with wondering joy. 'And Lot
went with him. Lot was Abram's
orphaned Nephew, the son of 'his
dead brother Haran. It was natural
that he should accompany his uncle,
the head of the clan. And Abram
was. seventy-five years old when he
departed out of Haran. An old man
as ages go in our times, but still a
young man among the long-lived
patriarchs, and doubtless still strong
and vigorous and entirely' fit for the
long and hazardous journey ahead of
him. .
And Abram took Sarai his: wife,
and Lot his brother's son, and all
their substance that they had gath-
ered. Very likely Sarai felt the de-
parture, especially the leaving of
friends and relatives, even more than
Abram,. though it was by no .means
easy for -either, And the souls that
they had gotten in Herat. Abram

AN ALTAR TO JEHOVAH.
And Jehovah appeared unto Ab-
ram. Thus far it has been, "Jeho-
vah said surto Abram," which ,night
be explained by some com m.inica-
tion through the mind such as the 1
godly receive from the Lord today;
but this was 'evidently some exterior
appearance, for it does not say that
the Lord appeared to him in' a vis
cion, so if the communication was
exterior in, one case, why not in the
other? And 'said, Unto thy seed I
will give this land. No one can . es-,
timate the loss tothe world. if the
chosen people had not received Ca-
naan and there' built up a hone for
the world's one pure religion, the
soil in which the supreme. revelation
of Christianity could take root and
flourish for the good of all mankind.
And there budded he an altar unto
Jehovah, who appeared unto him,
Wherever Abratrt pitched his tent,
he built an altar. •
And he removed from thence unto
the mountain on the east of Beth -el.
Having thus, in a sense, taken pos-

Book Children
I' heard an author who writes
boots' for teen-age girls talk about
her books. Some one asked her if it
was not hard to manage the child-
ren in her books. Her reply was,
that it was not nearly as hard to
manage her book -children as it was
to manage her 'real children. ,She
could decide what was best for her
book -children and then could make
them do it, But when it came to her
family, that was another' matter.
She could decide what was best for
them to do, but how to get them to
do it?
Most of us with children know
the exasperation of coming up
against- a stone wall of actual oppo-
Sition or, what is perhaps more
maddening, indifference, when no-
thing we say really penetrates. We
can console ourselves with the
thought that if our children were as
soft as putty and we were able to
mould them at will, that they would
not have sufficient independence for
their own good.
Potatoes
Potatoes are ot?e of our most lin-
iiottaiit foods. Important, because
most of us eat them at least once
a day. If they are so generally used
there must be a reason for it. So
let us go on a'hunt .for thein. What
the oatmeal is to the Scotch, so is
the potato to the Irish. Many of
them live for considerable stretches
oftime on potatoes and milk, chief-
ly. In order to do this, we realize
that potatoes must have considerable
food value.
Potatoes consist chiefly of -carbo-
hydtates, that is sugar and starches,
and because of this they are good.
energy providers. They contain
some protein. Vegetables as a class
contain very little protein and are
of little value to build up the tissues:
or for growth. The potato is an ex-
ception as it contains a small quan-
tity of protein. .Vegetable proteins
are often of no biological value --
that is, they cannot be assimilated
by the system. Potatoes, however,
provide protein which can be used,
even though the quantity is small.
We must have minerals and vita-
mins in our food and the potato
provides both these in considerable
quantities. It contains both vitaenins:
A and C.
Potatoes ' have a reputation for
making people fat. They are fatten-
ing if eaten in large quantities, but
are better than white bread. Weight
for weight they are less fattening
than bread. White bread has lest
all its minerals and vitamins but po-
tatoes contain then. They satisfy,'.
that is they 'stick to the ribs, long-
er than white bread, This is an im-
portant point when considering a re-
ducing diet. When eaten with meat
they add to the satisfying value cf
the meat.
The largest proportion of miner-
als lies near the skin and as a result
is very often wasted, Boiling ells-
solves some more of their; and 'they
go down dee sink instead of into our
tummies. Baking, of course, is the
best way to cook potatoes. Do you
ever use the liquid in which the po-
tatoes are boiled? If you have a
soup k'ettie going be sure and add
the potato water. , Have you ever
tried adding ' this water to your
gravey? It improves the flavour
and is . Marcnutritious. Some of tate
bad name that potatoes get for fat-
tening, is
at-tening,is due to the fact that they
are often smothered in gravy ,or
eaten with lots of butter, both of
which are fattening. Potato parings
may be added to soup stock,
Potatoes cooked in milk are an.

To my way of thinking scallop.ed
potatoes are nicer when made with-
out flour. If they are cooked in: a
hot oven the milk will be absorbed'
and no flour will be necessary to
pi`averit thein 'from being juicy.-
When
uicy.When the overt i5 hot enough, the
potatoes invariably boil over and'
the oven smells to high heaven. Af-
ter ,years of dumbly putting up with
this, and having to clean the oven,;
I decided there must be some way
to prevent it. There is. It• is so
simple that I am disgusted with my
dumbness in not thinking of it long
before. I put a 'drip pan containing
a little water in the bottom of the
oven and put the potato dish on the.
grate. Any milk that -boils over
goes in the water in the pan, and
there is no smell, .nor dirty oven to,
clean up afterward.
Some of us are trying ,to fatten
one member ,of, the family .,and re-
duce another on the same .menus..
Salads are good for everyone, but
specially good for the `reducers to
fill up on. Here is one of my, little'
tricks. I add a good generous por-
tion of potato salad to the leafy
salad for the thin ones and make
the fat ones do 'without. A little
chopped pickle or gherkin
is one of the best ways to add fla-
vour to the rather insipid .potato
salad.
Potato Rolls
Season mashed potatoes with a
little scraped onion and a pinch or
two of thyme. Add a' beaten egg and
mix.Make in small . cylindershaped
rolls, flattening the ends by hitting
them gently on the table. Roll in
fine bread crumbs. Place in a but-
tered baking dish and bake in a
moderate over for one-half hour.
Potato Cheese Puff
cup milk
a lb. grated cheese
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons butter
2 egg yolks '
3 cups mashed potatoes
salt and pepper.
Heat milk in double boiler. Add
cheese and butter and stir until dis-
solved. Beat the egg yolks with a
small amount of milk and add to
milk and cheese. Add these to the
mashed potatoes and whip until
light and fluffy. Add beaten egg
whites. Pile roughly in a buttered
dish and , sprinkle lightly with
cheese. Bake in a hot oven of 400
degrees ' for 25 minutes.
"I,wouldn't cry like that if I were
you," said a lady to little Betty.
"Well," said Betty, between her
sobs, "you can cry any way You like
but this is my way."
