Cover and stir from time 'to time so they do mot burn. Put them on the back of the stove adding cup to cup of sugar and juice. Boil the sugar and juice for about. fifteen minutes, Try it with a silver spoon; when ths juice be- gins to drip it is done, Take a jelly mould and wash in cold water, pour in the jelly and put it in the icebox. Beet and Potato Pie.--Moisten three cupfuls of minced roast beef with a little stock; season to taste, and put it into a greased pudding dish," Into a large cupful of mashed potatoes beat a little milk and a teaspoonful of melted butter. = Sea- son this potato and spread it over the top of the minced beef. Set it in the oven and bake, covered, for twenty minutes; uncover, wash over with beatén white of egg and cook from fifteen minutes longer, or until i is slightly browned. re In making Balmoral pudding take two teacups of flour, one tea- cup of soft sugar, threequarters of a teacup of milk, one tablespoon of butter, one egg, half a teaspoon of carbonate of soda, quarted of a tea- spoon of tartaric acid, one table- spoon of jam 'or marmalade. Put the butter and sugar in a basin and beat till it looks like cream, then add the egg (previously well beat- en,) then the milk and flour alter- nately, beaten thoroughly. Add jam or. marmalade, and last the soda and acid. Pour into a greased tin, and steam 1 1-2 to 2 hours. Serve with hot sauce, . y Poached Whipped iggs.--The white of egg whipped with a pinch of salt and a bit of sugar, if the later is favored, and the whole yolk dropped into the middle of it, is sometimes called . the "hygienic oak and is' much used for in- valids. The whipped egg is put into a glass bowl, set on a tribet (wire stand) in': lukewarm water, in a covered utensil, and cooked until it puffs up without letting the walter boil; . This will take about five minutes. Bome people who noed eggs. to build-them up find even this delicate way of cooking the egg not agreeable, yet they 'may like the whole egg whipped up. slightly ited, and sweetened: and cooked in the same way: This is near to be- ing a boiled omelet, and care must be taken to beat the whole egg thoroughly or most of the yolk will be in 'the bottom of the bowl. Poached Eggs.--Poached eggs are considered one of the most delicate and digestable ways to cook eggs. Bgg poachers which should be but- tered have lessened the task of serving them in fine shape, but some of the sgme prepantions should: be observed as when cooking them without this aid. Boiling water tears the white to rags, when it is not confined, and it hardens it too much "under any 'circumstances, making it less digestible. One tablespoon of vinegar to three ~ quarts of lightly salted water is the proportion hist will help to set the whites quickly. The vessel in which eggs are poached should be wide and dow. Crack egg into a saucer which has been rinsed with cold water, and gently slide into the ing water. Poach for three 8, Take up with skimmer, and trim if necessary.

While the war and the demand it is causing for supplies, especially foodstuffs, are the main reasons for the 'Patriotism and Production" campaign, the subject matters dis- cussed have a wider aspect than the immediate present. They mean the weliare of the district, the country and the Empire, both now and here- after, With all the principal Euro- pean supply countries engaged in deadly conflict, there will be mno produce of quantity or quality com- ing from thence. They will not only require every ounce for their own consumption, but will be compelled to purchase largely from neutral countries. Great Britain, above all, will have to be fed and clad, and Canada, being her largest, nearest and 'absolute ally, "will: have in great measure to furnish the necessities. Nor will Great Britain be the only member of oun Empire that will need what-we can' pro- duce. New Zealand and' Australia will aleo be importers. Thus. then, 'the markets are assured for years to come, practically for wll time, and. not only for grain, hut also for live: stock, for, as the seasons pass, the latter bid fair to become scarcer and scarcer. Cattle cannot be bre® 'raised and placed on market in one season; nor es; nor can sheep, Hence the. d for detion is instant.

The train conductors, and drivers are sullen, the policemen, who go about with + a stick as their only weapon, look undignified and indif- ferent, and conyersation between thie inhabitants goes on in .a low voice. : : Fines for Everything. 'There is good reason for this, as the city is crowded with Germans whose chief duty is to pick up bits of conversation and Ito denoynce al persons who express themselves disrespectfully about Germany, the | army, or anything else connected with the Fatherland. For the slight-| est injudicious remark a fine of $2.50 is imposed, and higher fines are levied for more serious offences. To give an 'example: Two German officers jumped the other day on the platform of a tramear, 'when a passenger called out 'Full up. One of 'the officers began to count the number of passengers and, find- ing that there was still room for. them, he requested the passenger to follow him to headquarters, where he was promptly fined 870 for. try- ing to interfere with 'the comfort of one of his Imperial Majesty's of- ficers. . : : There is no question that the Germans have decided to defray the cost of feeding their army in Bel- gium at the'expense of the Belgians; and to: pay the officers' pocket money out of the sums extorted from the people by way of fines. Robbery by Daylight. During the month of December a German soldier quartered in a vil lage near Ghent passed .a bullet through his thigh 80 as to escape further military service!

The. Belgian flax spinners: are compelled to keep working, but all they produce in yarns must be de- livered to the German government. On the other hand, the Germans know quite well that the stocks of raw material in spinners' hands cannot lagt very long, so they have ordered the spinners not to work more than 24 hours weekly and to close on Saturdays. In that man: ner they hope ito eke out the slen- der wtocks for three months, but if afiter that period no more raw ma- terial can be obtained the Ghent flax and weaving mills will be com- peliled to discharge all their work- people, and the distress will be- come appalling, As regards other goods, the Ger- mang are commandeermg large quantities of everything, and when the goods are not raw material believe that payment is being made at once--of course in marks, wl have to be taken ab the rate of Fur. 1.25' per mark,' whereas the agency of the Deutsche Bank in = Brussels will pay only atthe rate of Fr, 1.12. Yalue of Publicity. Publicity is the strength of every movement. It is: characteristic of the "Patriotism and Production' campaign that the best is being done to shine in the glare of the big white light. All known means are being utilized to reach the peo- ple, that.they may be encouraged, mot alone to extend, but also to im- prove production. It is unavoid- able that prices should vary.
