PROV........................... 4 OFFERS FULLY GUARANTEED] HELP IN THE HOME The interest of the Department oi Labor in the question of relief of the housewife will be appreciated countless Canadian homes. The c mittee charged with the consideration of the matter is composed of experienced members, headed by Mrs. Rex Eaton, associate director of National Selective Service. Their recommendations are thoroughly In line with modern attitudes regarding domestic work by the independent worker. The provision of short training should help to raise the standard of domestic service to the satisfaction of both the householder and the employed worker. On the other hand, with the knowledge that work would be well done, there would be all the more responsibility on the employer to observe due standards of relationship with the home aide, as the workers are somewhat pretentiously called. Respect one for the other in a joint enterprise, the proper care of a home, should be the practical and successful basis for a new ei*a in the history of household service. To keep a modern house in order much detailed, tedious and even arduous work is necessary. The value of this work is perhaps all the more appreciated as a result of the war service in which so many women have been engaged during the past few years. The proposals of the Department of Labor committee should help to bring about a lighter heart amid the many household tasks in many a home. --From The Ottawa Citizen. CASTLETON W.M.S.

Vegetables, though not on the ration list, without a doubt are the most abused of all cooked foods, but a few DO'S and DON'TS may help to reduce food losses and lighten housekeeping headaches. DO'S 1. DO cook vegetables in large pieces, not too large for easy eating, but large enough to preserve the bright and cheerful colours which add variety and zest to meals and to retain precious vitamins and minerals. 2. DO cook in as little water as possible, and give them a good start with boiling water. It won't take nearly as long, and yet will yield dividends in colour and flavour. 3. DO bake vegetables in their skins often. Plan to make full us the oven when it is on duty. 4. DO cook vegetables only until they are done. They'll be brighter, crisper and tastier, and more tempting for hesitant appetites_ 5. DO season them carefully. Salt, pepper and butter can hardly be surpassed by the most expertly-prepared sauces. DON'TS DON'T let vegetables stand in water before cooking. It is better to spend a few moments for cleaning and preparation at cooking time. DON'T ever add soda to green vegetables. It destroys the vitamin C. DON'T throw away the cooking liquid; add it instead to soups, sauces, vegetable drinks and gravies for more ,flavour. DON'T waste any part of leftover vegetables. In this time of restrictions and scarcities, it behooves Mrs. Homemaker to make very little into much. Any combination of colourful, tasty, cooked vegetables will.make a delicious and nutritious casserole supper-dish. Here is one in tune with the times: Vegetable Dish 3 medium onions, chopped 3 medium green peppers, chopped % cup butter 6 medium tomatoes, diced IY2 cups cut cooked corn 1 teaspoon salt Vs teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon chopped parsley Cook onions and peppers in butter 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and corn and cook 10 minutes longer, but do not browft. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley. Serves 6 (Any enquiries on food and nutrition may be directed to the Nutrition Department, Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society, 621 Jarvis Toronto 5).

THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO All manufacturing restrictions the production of double-breasted suits, pleats, formal wear and bi-swing backs have been lifted, Wartime Prices and Trade Board announced recently. The lifting of restrictions, however, does not imply that double-breasted suits or other types that have not been manufactured for some time will be back on the market immediately, Board officials declared. The reappearance of such models will depend on how quickly manufacturers can reconvert to such production. It is expected that output of men's suits will be 5% higher this year than in 1944 but in the face, of an increased civilian demand there is also a heavy turnover of suits to discharged servicemen. More than one-third of the suits manufactured are reserved for sale to demobilized servicemen. Together with the removal of restrictions, the Prices Board announced a pricing order limiting the wholesale and retail markups on men's and boys' suits, overcoats, topcoats, raincoats and sports jackets. Some adjustments are being made also in the manufacturer's selling No change in the retail prices of men's and bovs' clothing is expected from this action.

ARMISTICE DAY, 1945 By Frank Morriss On November 11 we are observing Armistice Day . . . the end of World War I. And thus, in a year of victory* we are remembering another year of victory. But we will be remembering November 11, 1918, not with happiness, but with solemnity. Many of us will recall vividly the wild celebrations that took place on that 1918 day . . . the flag-waving, the shouting, the sound of automobile horns, and the crowds of happy people. For we thought, in our optimism and our innocence, that we were sounding the death knell of wars, and that the spectre would never rise again in our time. But it did rise,, and we had not the moral conviction, perhaps, or the foresight, to slay it before it could get completely out of hand. But we have learned, from 1939 to 1945, something new. World War II taught'us that the follies of peace are the follies that lead to destruction. In World War I we thought that once the war would be over it would be over. In World War II we fought with our eyes to the future. Even while the battles were raging we did not lose sight of the fact that once victory was won we would ha\ to knuckle down and pay for it with vigilance and wisdom. I hope we are keeping that lesson in mind. Madame Chiang Kai-shek voiced some thoughts on this very thing in her V-J Day Victory Message. I think they bear repeating at this time. Here they are: "But what of tomorrow? We must do our utmost through practical measures to assist the maimed, the wounded and the displaced. And out of the destruction and desolation of this battle-scarred and broken world around us we must so build a future as to justify the suffering and loss of life which this war has brought. Out of this soul-searing experience we must learn that omission to prevent war is just as culpable and disastrous in the end as commission to foster war in the beginning. Only in this war can we even repay in a measure the debt of life that we owe to those who have died." These are the thoughts we are thinking as we observe the anniversary of the end of World War I. May we never have a World War III. And this will have to be more than just a pious wish. It will be something we will have to work hard to prevent.
