First let us sec how certain condi- tions shorten the usefulness of such things as sheets, pillowslips, table .'lolhs, napkins and towels. Much R-ear comes from launderinK when by Triction the dirt is rubbed out. Vifjor )us rubbintf. such as is necessary when linen is badly soiled, wears it out aiuch faster than when only partially soiled. Hence it is economy to wash it before the flr.st named condition is reached. A gentle rubbing preserves the fabric longer than a vigorous one. Strong washing fluids cause disinte- gration of the threads and should be ivoided even though they facilitate :leansing. The careful housewife understands, too, how the wind can injure articles ^•hile hanging on the line to dry. An ^our in a stiff wind will shorten the period of u.sefulness more than a month's wear. The rays sf the sun Bnd a gentle breeze are harmless, but avoid allowing the clothes to flaji in the wind. This not only whip:; out hem.s, but actually breaks threads and docs much damage to any fabric. Hemstitching should be mended a? soon a.^i the first thread gives yay. U is then easily repaired so the break will scarcely be noticed. Neglected it means a bad place. Each week the pieces should be gone over carefully and the tiniest break mended. Darn linen pieces back and forth with ravelings or threads drawn from the best parts of old linen. This becomes Invisible after laundering. Don't leave it un- til a patch is retiuired. A patch is unsightly while a darn is not. A well darned table cloth, towel or napkin will wea-- twice as long as a neglected oiii- and look none the worse for thp s! tcheg. Fold linen pieces differently from time to time to •void wear in the same'*VlaceR . Turn pillow slip.'* before slits come In them . Rip the bottom ends and resew with the corner.? as fir.st made half way along the sides. This brings the wear in a fresh place. Bingle width sheets must have a scam in the middle if turned, but neatly' folded in a flat seam thi.s will not look badly, or the centre may be over- banded. The sides will have to be narrowly hemmed hut that is a trifl- ing matter in war time. I .So far nothing has been said of un-| derwear, but care will result in a sav- ing here also. As suggested, wash- ing before a garment becomes badly •oiled saves wear, even though it inoans more pieces. Watch for breaks and mend them before they be- come large. Dry all colored clothes In the .shade to prevent fading. | norsKnoi.D linkn. .Sometin-.cs an ugly tear c»n be meiiiled .-o it does not show. To do this follow a thread in cutting out the p:.rt to be rcmovi-rl, mitre the corners and use tiny st.tches and thread of the color of the goods. A plain mate- : rial can be so mended as to almost de- fy detection. If new goods must be used to repair that which has been worn, the new may be placed in the strong sunshine for a few hours, or nioic if neces.sary, to bring it to the same shade as the garment This method will do away with the ditTer- ence in appearance and renders the patch less conspicuous. As patriotic "iti/.ens we will each endeavor to save every bit of cotton and wool goods by using carefully what We have on hand, thus helping to conserve the amounts needed for war purposes. A search of attics and store rooms would probably bring to light a good many articles still usable. Fortunate indeed is the housewife who has a stock of house- hold linens to last until the close of the war. 1 know of no more discour- aging task than an attempt to buy new at the present time. What Not To Can. Our canning problem needs to be reduced to a very sound common-sense basis this year and only those pro- ducts canned which cannot be better kept in some other way. During the furiouij canning cam- paigns of the past few days, I have found parsnips, carrots, onions, cab- bage, sweet potatoes and even Irish potatoes canned â€" all of which is sheer nonsense as each of these could have been kept as effectively in a much simpler way. Stone jars of small size with stone covers or with paper or cloth covers pasted on, can be used for preserves in which the sugar acts as a pre- servative or for any type of pickle in which vinegar and spices act as pre- serving agents. These containers are out of the question for fruit or vegetables which are not preserved or pickled. It is wasteful to put into large con- tainers any sort of preserve or reli.sh that is used in small quantities only, since there is sure to be waste when the product .stands long unsealed and is used frequently. Glazed earthenware jars are good for putting down egge in water glass. They should be furnished with tight covers to prevent the solution from becoming dense through evaporation. Every housewife should study the ways and means for the storage of root crops, such as trenhces for cab- bage and turnips, which are kept from freezing by alternate layers of straw and earth. Sweet potatoes can he stored In baskets in a warm attic. Navy beans and lima beans and other legumes it would be wiser to store dry than to attempt to can. 111! run the lighted doorway ,., „., , ., *;„ from which the fuKitives had .-ome. h.' ; ''^"l^ "[ ^^^ """'" ' ' gl.-wiii'd inside, but saw nothing except' ^^ *"'"«6 o clock his tour of duly; an apparently empty grocer's shop. fn'^eJ; and he reported at the station He turned the corner and was exult- ^Mi-^*- The sergeant at the deak , ant at (inding his men again in sight. 8f<^eted him with interest. j I This was to be the fir.st important, the' '"Do you know a fellow namedj first exciting arrest that he had made Scanlan- David Scanlan?" the ser- ! sine.' joining the force. lie felt ex- geant asked.

He, Food Control Comer The (Ji'.iiHda Food Board, makes the following statement: I '"Recent announcements that the ; food situation over.'iea has been reli«K j ed by the spec!;\l efforts of Canada 'and the United States are being in- I terpreted in some quarters as indlcat- ; ing that special food production and ; conservation efforts no longer are I necessary. "All optimistic report.s relative to the easing of our .Allies' food posi- j tion are based on the assumption thatj the utmost effort to maintain and to i increase production, and also to con- 1 serve food, will lie continued on this j continent as well as oversea. "Fortunately, there ha-i been an un- i usually large grain crop in the United' States, leaving a .surplus over present : consumption which, with the available' surplus from Canada, and with con- j tinued conservation in both countries,' should meet our Allies' import re-| quirements from North .\merica this year. The large supply of food f or | live stock, which also seems assured in the United States, will be reflected in increased production of pork and,; to a lesser extent, of beef also. ! "Hopeful though recent develop-; ments in the food situation have been, it will not be safe until enor-! mous wheat reserves have been ac- ' cumulated on both sides of the At- lantic, and such reserves are not yet in sight. A comparative crop fail- ure on this continent next year would,' in the absence of hold-over re.-erves, ' make our AUie.^' position almost as desperate as it was last winter. ! "Canadians cannot afford to relax ' in food production or food conserva-' tion because all that can be grown or saved will be needed. Nothing could be more dangerous than to as- sume that our po.sition is yet safe. The Food Board wishes to emphasize j especially the necessity for the utmost effort to save this year's harvest from waste or loss. The responsibility! resting upon city and town men to' see that the farmers have sufficient help to bring in the crops is still pressing, and must not be ignored." As an additional sugar conservation measure, the Food Board has ordered j that, until further notice, manufac- turers of canned fruits for sale must not use more than an average of twenty-five pounds of sugar to one hundred pounds of prepared fruit. The Order is now effective. It does not apply to jams, jellies, or mar- malade. pvSA^ '«.< \ R.O.LONOeCO.UMiTU)! ' TORONTO CANADA A Song of the Air.
