should be made into gruels for small
children and invalids, then strained
through a fine seive. This method
will remove the coarse cellulose.
Cinnamon and nutmeg may be used to
flavor gruel.
Cereal Griddle Cakes.
Wheat, corn, rye, oats, rice, buck-
wheat and barley are the grains from
which cereals are prepared. All
cereal foods contain protein, carbohy-
drates, fats, mineral salts and water
-in more or less proportion.
Protein is necessary for building all
bodily tissues, therefore it is a neces-
sary food constituent. It is also the
most .expensive in the food groups.
Carbohydrates are the starches and
sugar`s] Cellulose, which also belongs.
to this group, is valuable to the body
for its bulk and digestive properties,
but it has no food value.
Fats are found in various propor-
tions in different grains.
Mineral salts are found in abundant
supplies in cereals.
The climate, soil and the quality of
the grain itself are the determining
factors of the actual amount of nutri-
ment that is contained in the various
grains that are used for cereals. The
methods used by manufacturers in pre—
paration of the various grains for the
market are also one of the deter-
• mining features.
Cereals may be coarsely ground and
eontain d large amount of the outer
coat of the grain, or they may be fine-
ly milled, with the outer covering re-
moved. Corn, wheat and oats contain
large proportions of fats; rice contains
very little. Oats is the richest cereal
in protein and fats; wheat ranks sec-
ond to oats and corn comes next.
Cooking.
Long, slow, 'continuous cooking is
necessary to thoroughly soften and
render the cellulose easy to digest.
The starch, which is present in the
grain, is enclosed in a cell-like struc-
ture, therefore long cooking is neces-
sary to soften this cellulose, so that.
the digestive juices may act upon the
cooked starch. Following is a table
of. proportions to be used in prepar-
ing breakfast cereals:

Use a double boiler for. cooking all
cereals. This will also prevent them
from scorching. A fireless cooker is
ideal for the proper cooking of all
grains and cereals. Dates, nuts,
raisins, figs, prunes and dried fruits
may be added to the cereal, when
cooking, for the sake of variety.
Improperly cooked cereals will cause
intestinal disturbances. The cereals

ORIGIN OF RALOS
Painters Used Them :Long Before the
Birth of Christ.
Saints, in pictures, are usually rep-
resented with halos. Angels like-
wise.
Why? Ask the text man you meet,
and you will find him guessing at the
reason.
Most people suppose that halos were
not worn until within .the last 190.0
years or so, But that isn't true.
Roman emperors and even consuls:
were ,pictured with halos long before
the birth of Christ And, if history
tells of- them truly, they were neither
saints nor angels:
The halo was originally a pagan
symbol of power. .Thus it is not so
very surprising to find Satan repres-
ented, in inedieval paintings, with a
halo.
In that period it was customary to
depict living personages of great au-,
thority with square halos.
Obviously, there would be 'no con-
ventional impropriety in paintinga
portrait of Wilhelm the Wicked in a
square halo. His Plutonic prototype
would naturally' wear a round one,
One and one-fourth teaspoonfuls of
baking soda, one tablespoonful of wa-

half cupful of sour ,ream, one-half
cupful of molasses, two tablespoonfuls
of cocoa, one teaspoonful of cinnamon,
one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg. one-
half teaspoonful of cloves, one cupful
of flour. one cupful of dried bread
crumbs. Mix in the order given, then
mold into balls the size of -a walnut.
Flatten them between the palms of
the hand, and then place onpans pre-
pared as described for crumb crackers.
Bake in hot oven for ten minutes.
Note. Use level measurements. A
nut of raisin may be placed on top .of
these goodies, Two tablespoonfuls of
shortening and sour milk may be used
in place of cream.
Crumb Crackers
One-half cupful of bread crumbs,
one-half cupful of white flour, one-
fourth cupful of graham flour, one-
fourth cupful of sugar, one-fourth tea-
spoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoon-
ful of nutmeg, one-fourth teaspoonful
of ginger, six tablespoonfuls of lard.
Mix the dry ingredients, rub in the
shortening and dissolve one-half lea -
spoonful baking soda in one-half cup
of sour milk and add: three table-
spoonfuls of molasses, one well -beaten
egg, four -• tablespoonfuls: -of finely
chopped citron. Mix to dough, then
roll one-fourth inch thick. Cut and
then brush with beaten egg and
sprinkle the top with granulated su-
gar. Bake in hot oven from eight to

Note. Always bake the cookies on
up -turned baking pan; grease well and
then rinse well with cold water before
placing the cookies on it to bake.

FOOD SAVING IN ONTARIO.
Community Canning Marks a New
Epoch in Rural Life.
Ontario" is making rapid strides to-
wards -food saving. In these war
days, we are doing many new things
which we would not have thought out
in peace times. Almost the very new-
est experiment is that of community
canning. Parkhill Women's Institute
is making a successful trial. The
canning plant had a capacity of five
hundred cans a day. The machinery
is~simple—a 5 h.p. boiler, two vats, a
sink, a copper kettle, pans, spoons,
measures,, etc. The vats were heated
with steam coils, and can be brought
to boiling in three minutes. Fifty
quarts of fruit can be cooked at once.

Dr. Dahl, the Swedish horticulturist

a useful and profitable edible: It was
unknown in England, however, until
Lady Holland, the imperious hostess
of Holland House and its famous
;circle, imported it by mistake. She
had ordered a small consignment of
"Jerusalem artichokes after tasting,
during her travels, .a certain "Jeru-
salem soup," which so pleased her
1341,ate ,that she; wished. to be able to
see"' to her guests. She, was might-
ily `disappointed when only one of the
roots survived,. and that proved to be
no artichoke but an entirely strange
plant. It was ignominiously discarded
from the vegetable garden; but as its
buds showed a promising glint of col-
or, it was not thrown away but was
transferred to a modest corner of the
flower garden. There its glowing ver-
milion'blossoms soon dominated the
scene, and; gardeners from miles
around hastened to inspect the won-
drous novelty. A London florist of-
fered Lady Holland a huge price for
it, which she refused; having had to
do without her soup, she had no mind
to part with her flower.
Several of the Holland House
guests, gentlemen for the most part
more apt at politics, than poetry, at-
tempted to celebrate'in verse the new
flower and its patroness—particular-
ly its patroness. There is none of the
haunting loveliness with which Eng -
lish poets have written of the less gor-
geous rose and violet, daffodil and
daisy in the stilted, old-fashioned'gal-
lantry of such lines as these:
Neither with. Venus nor with saint
Proud lady wilt thou share
Nor claim the Lily, pale and faint,
The Rose, too wanton fair;
Bright as thy wit thy Dahlia glows
And gleams above the crowd --
How noble, high and proud it grows
For thee, as high ;and proud! .
Hearts Easy to Break.
In the simpler forms of life the
heart is a mass of pulsating cells,
which, as the creature grows to ma-
turity, lengthen out into a tube. In
many insects and flies the heart takes
a pencil form, running from the fore-
head to the tip of the body. In ani-
mal and bird life the heart becomes
more nearly round.and proportionate-
ly stronger. An insect, owing to its
peculiar structure, does not have to be
crossed in love to die of a broken
heart. A thumb on the back will do
it.

"MR. WINDSOR"
In the Fourth Generation the King's
Descendants Will be Just "Mister."
When Ding George assumed the
family name of Windsor, he took a
more democratic step than at first
appears. It means that the male
descendant of the Sovereign will be
commoners in the third generation,
with a courtesy title as the sons of
dukes, and plain Mr. Windsor in the
fourth generation. The assumption
—� of a family name was necessary in
view of the recent abolition of prince-
ly titles for the younger generations
in descent from the Sovereign, and no
better choice could have been made
than that of Windsor.
The fame of Windsor goes back to
Saxon times. The Castle has always
been associated with the successive
strain arising from protracted micro- Royal Houses of England Queen
