Miss Whitton, who wae one of the two Canadian women chosen to speak on Domin- Son Day at! the British Bmpire Ex- hibition, has had an omportunity to become fully acquainted with the various phases of the Important question . of Immigration and with the clarity born of knowledge and the God-given eloquence which is hers, she set the matter before her hearers in what was a new light te many of them. x In the re-adjustment after the world's war, old hetreds were, the speaker said a greater influence than economic questions, and the in- fluence of such a re-adjustment was far-reaching.

Put on cover, tie string around to keep it on, then weight down the cans almost to their tops in boiling water. Let water continue to ho#l around them for one and one-half hours. Cream of Pea Soup: Open a can of peas and drain off their liquid, dis- carding it. Now put the drained peas into a saucepan, add two and one- half teaspoons of sugar and two cups of cold water, and cook slowly for 30 minutes. Rub through a sieve, re- heat, and thicken with two table #poons of flour which have been rub- bed to a paste with two tablespoons with one teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper and a few drops of onlon Juice. Add this to the other mixture, let boll up a moment, and serve. have written me well in Edvence of your planned party so that I would have had more time to send you hints.
