A search warrant is being made for sugar- ]ess recipes for relishes. This year, pickles must be made without sugar or with the littie you are able to save frorm your ration. Juà' lilke everything else that is nteeasy te obtain, is one reason ' why we hope to have a supply on our own sheif.

But somewhere in a distant land la a boy in uniformn, With a heart that's sad and lonely, Though his eyes are blue and warm. HIe is looking for a letter But it neyer seems te ceme; There's aiwaya mail for some lads, But for others there la none. Se tell him what you're doing, And seal it with a kias; That kias might heal an aching heart, And it's one yeu'Il neyer miss. Se wen't you spare a minute And drop that littie note?

But he mest fight frem dawn te dark When famine staîka its heiplesa prey; And hunger's victims, thin and stark, Die-that a madman have his way.

Peel the tomatees and et in pieces; cbop onions and peppers; put in large preserving kettie. Cook slowly, uncovered, for 3 heurs, or until thick. Pour inte sterile jars and seal at once. Yield: appreximately 7 pinta. TAKE A TIF i. Grape or borseradish leaves covering the top will keep more green colour in the cu- cumbers. 2. If plum tones are stubborn te remove, leave then in until atter the fruit is cooked for jam. Tbey will come te the surface and are easy te skim off. 3. A sprig ef mint cooked witb peas gives a pleasant flaveur and keeps the vegetabie green. 4. White ca bb a ge, cauliflower and wbite onions keep their colour if cooked in water that' bas had 1-2 tsp. creamn of tar- tar added. This softens the water. 5. '1iere are two ways te prevent pickle sauces from burning as it begins te thicken. Rub pre- serving kettle witb a bard fat before putting in the ingredi- ents. Or, slip an eld tin pan under the preserving kettle during the last 1-2 heur of cooking. If you have te leave the kitchen for any iength of time, put the kettie in a 350 degree oven, leaving the door ajar. Anne Alian invites you te write te ber c!o The Canadian States- man.

J. Deachman Miss Agnes MacPhail, a former member of the House of Com- mens. a present candidate for the Provincial Legislature of Ontarieo, spoke recently over the radie, in the city et Ottawa. Misa MacPhail la, se it seems, Chairman et the Farm Pregram Committee of the C.C.F. She sf111 retaîns ber keen infereat in agriculture despife the tact that she la running now for a consfitu- ency, part rural, part urban. The new role must have t asb- ioned the tone et ber address. She lamented the tact that only 10.7 per cent et the tarmers had bafhrooms. Only 37.7 had farma equipped witb hydre power. If only tbe tarmers could afferd batbroems and hydre what a fre- mendous increase of empleyment would result tram this develop- ment. Sucb was tbe tenor of ber remarks. Economies and Polities We are sorry but Miss MacPbail forgets sometbing. It will be noted that she spoke net from the standpoinf et the gains which would accrue te the tarmers trem posaeasing these amenities and ad- vantages, but rather from the em- pleyment thaf would be given in the tacteries te the men wbo pro- duced tbem. This la bardly cor- rect. If would net add. in any marked degree, te total employ- ment. Everyene desires that a farm- er should bave a bafhtub. He needs if more than a bank clerk needs if, but the installation et this equipment on a farm is rather costly, under present conditions and, if the farmer, eut et bis own inceme, purchases and maintains a batbfub and a modemn water sysfem, be musf eifber go inte debt or reduce bis purchases et other commodities. These are the alternatives wbicb musf be f aced. Miss MacPhail protesta againat present farm debts-even wanfs them cancelled. If be re- duces bis purchases et other thinga in order te provide a bath- tub, how dees this increase total employmenf? The bathtub mak- ers may be helped-the makers et other thinga may be hampered. In the case et hydro, there is a siigbt ditterence. Hydre power mighf enable the tarmer, if bis farm happened te be tairiy large, te et bis cesta. If is, therefere, a part et productive equipment and the question is wbefher or net this investment would pay 'the farmer better than some other in- vesfment and whefher if wouid produce sefficient te nient the in- terest payment, ciepreciafion and maintenance and leave him witb a balance on the rigbt aide et bis Iaccounts. Miss MacPhail may taik on these things as mucb as she likes, but ultimately the important tbing for the farmer is a higher inceme - it la the thing whiclh maffers. Give this, the farmer wili choose bis own way et apend- ing it and whether he uses it te purchase a bafhtub, instail hydre or buiid a new pigpen, wiii bc a matter et jedgment in wbich he is as capable et reaching a decisien as Miss MacPhail or any other et bis numerees advisers. Coming back te, the other re- marks et Miss MacPbailitit lan- teresting te note bow, aiways, she looks af thinga tram the stand- point et labour. She wanted, et course, production for use and net for profit. At least, she went se far as te seek to eliminate profit and expressed 'the opinion thaf certain commodities could be pro- duced fer less if profit were eiim- inated. The suggested means et doing this was by a change et ownership. Industry was te be or municipality. It weuld be nec- essary te take over the plants, the money for doing s0 would have te he borrowed. The lenders would have to get intereat though that may net alwaya be a valid as- sumption. We recaîl the sugges- tion of the C.C.F. that boans should be compulsory without in- tereat. Nor did she explain ber plan for dividing the savings which, in her opinion, coulci be obtaineci fromn government and municipal ownership of publie utilities, a rather vital factor, by the way, but wholly ignored by Miss MacPhail. Two Methods That is an interesting question. By ber absence from the House of Commons, Miss MacPhail missed the opportunity of hearîng how labour, the vital partner of the C.C.F. would divide the gains. On July 7th, the Committee on Re- construction and Re-establish- ment listened to the representa- tives of labour who are attache! te, the political party te whicl Miss MacPhail belongs. On thal day they urged the establishment of a 6-hour day and a 30-houx week with weekly wages remain- ing the same as they now are for the 40- te 44-hour week. They were te receive the same weekly wage as they previously received, despite reduction of heurs. thus providing for an hourly wage rate from 33 te 46 per cent higher thar they had before. if miss MacPhail had beer there she would have supportec labour in this attitude because the party te which she belonga is composed of twe groupS, oe labour and the other farmer and it would be quite impossible for ber te leave one and ding te the other. Se she fights for a bath- tub and hydre equipment for the farmer, lamenta his inability to get either and supports a Party which promises te see te it that the bathtub and everything else the f armer gets will cost him more than ever before. Economics and politica are usually difficult te mix-semetimes impossible. PERSISTANCE AND CAUTION NEEDED WHEN CLEANING RUGS AT HOME When la a spot net a spot? Answer: When it bas been re- moved by semeene who knew bow. Even spilled milk, cocea, and ink can be faken off a rug with persistance and caution, if the tollowing tried remnedies are used. Mifit, grease, and ehl stain may be sponged wifh carbon tetra- cbloride, if available. Ink spots sbould be firsf blet ted withblbotting paper, and then sponged with lukewarm water. The experts say that miik la very effective in this job, but in turn must be sponged eut witb carbon tetrachioride. A çhcoiate stain sbould be scraped off with a duii knite; the spot then sprinkied with pewder- ed borax whicb bas been moisten- ed with coid water, and then the remaining chocolate r e m o v e d with a damp cieth. The borax may be brushed out, \vhen the spot bas dried. If some carelesaseul bas drep- ped chewing gem on the rug, the spot sbouid be rubbed with a piece ot ice until the gemi gathers in a bail. Using carbon tetra- cbieride, the remaining traces et gum may then be sponged off. Spots caesed by candie wax present ne problem. The candle wax may be scraped off wifb the blunt edge et a knife. It shouid then be spenged with a clotb danipened in coid water. t t s t -1-klUl-SECRET 0FUUSUCCESS: T9E RURAL CORRESPONDET (The Printed Word) 0 Mrs. Wacle is a succesul his- torian.
