The nic- est thing about some of them, - of course, is that they keep for at least a week and save the homemaker the trouble of preparing dessert cach night. There's a simple veceip! for a fine one: Beat one-half of cream until it 1s quite thick, add one full cup of fresh strawberry pulp, mix thoroughly and put in an ice cube tray. Let sland for several hours. Serve plain or garnished with whole berries, A HASTESS SAVER The hoStess who wants to spend most of her time in the open air with her guests is faced with the task of finding qiuckly-prepared dishes that are tempting and attrac- tive Here is a solution of the lunch- eon or supper problem that is certain to prove popular--old potatoes bak- ed in their skins and stuffed with minced ham. | Partly bake the potatoes in their skins, allowing one for cach person. Scoop out the centres and fill with minced meat, preferably ham or bacon. Put a few dabs of butter on cach, and return to the oven to fin- ish cooking. Serve piping hot, The advantage 'of this dish is that one is certain to possess the. ingred- ients, and it is a good stand-by- for a meal should one "run out" of other things.

Dull-finished ribbons should be pressed on the wrong side. It will prevent shine. Roast lamb should be basted con- stantly to give it the best flavor. It gets tasteless and dry if this is not done. : For burns and scalds cover with cooking soda and lay wet cloths over it. Other good remedies are whites of eggs and olive or linseed oil, Plain white canvass pumps can be tinted any desired color by using a small package of good dye, and ap- plying with a brush. If chocolate has a gray coating during the hot days it does not mean that it is spoiled. 1t only indicates that some of the fat has melted and come to the surface. A good ice-saving hint is to collect all foods that are to be placed in the refrigerator and put them away at one time, avoiding the opening of the door so many times. To banish odors when cooking 'smelly? vegetables, place a small pan of vinegar on the back of the stove. It will prevent the odor from going all through the house. To relieve tired feet soak them for about twenty minutes in warm water, to which has been added bak- ing soda, sea salt, or epsom salts.

The tendency to worry about things that . cannot be changed or corrected. lusisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it, Re- fusing to set aside trivial preferences, accomplished. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading.

The I'mitatious wery severe and of var- iety in existence tnerc was none, Joe longed for a change, nor was he content with thinking about it. For him decision and action follow- ed closely one apen the heels of the other. That is why Joe Balango went and registered at a bang-up good hotel in Vancouver. What's more he staved there. for two full week's hefore some person around the premises suggested that Joe might pass some currency across in the general direction of the cash- ler, Hotels of course are like that, particularly hangup hotels. Then it was that the hotel discover- ed that Joe had made a short excur- sion into good surroundings and he had no ticket. The upshot was that Joe appeared in court and was told that for the nex: two months he would be provided with another place to stay--in jail. -= Stratford Beacon- Lierald.

OUR STREET, It is nice to walk on a pleasant day, Down one of the streets of a pretty town, And greet our friends in a kindly way. We may not be of great renown, But to some of us cling those memor- ies sweet, Which, like silver bells, will echo and ring, Forever down our street, We pass by homes, some are great, some small, But all are filled with love by those who are dear, A church on the corner which points us all To that home above without a tear. Those that help the body we also meet, Doctors, and nurses, a minister loo. Are with us, on our street. As we walk along, we can almost feel, The touch of the hand of those ounce hiere Who were one with us, and still are real - Again we hear sweet words of cheer, In heart we greet For love ne'er dies, they yet ave dear, As along we go, those friends of yes. terday, Down Pine, our own home. sireet. --Ella HH, Hudson. Overwork Affects Nerves--Holiday Much Needed --_-- A hard-workizg professional man came to see me, writes a doctor, be- ¢anuse of a persictent dull headache which he, had almost continuously. He was suffering from the results of a long period of overwork with insuf- ficient fresh air aud exercise. lis head felt tight, as il clamped in an iron band, and his nerves were in a bad state. , The change of work or a holiday was quite impossible fer various rea- sons, As his habits were temperate there was no need for alteration in his mode of living, except that I ad- vised him to avoia red meat or highly spiced food. He was to take his meals.as dry as possible, and physical exercises and regulic visits to a gym- nasium were urged. A nerve sedative would only give temporary relief in such a case. A change of mental outlook was the chief necessity, bul such, alas! was not in my power to give him. Things You'd Never Know W. E.

This took place in the throne-room of the Ilolyrood House, dinburgh, when the Lord Provost, W. J. Thomp- con, accompanied by the magistrates, presented the kevs to the Lord High Commissioner as a token of the city's loyalty to the King, The keys, of silver gilt, were cavried on a velvet cushion by the City Chamberlain, The Lord ligt Commissioner thanked the Lord I'rovost for the submission of the keys and returned them to his. safe keeping. After the ceremony the Lord High Commis- sioner gave an oiflicial dinner, Black Women Use Powder "Dilly Bag" of Girl of Kakodu Tribe Equivalent of Vanity Bag A curious exhibit has just found its way into the*Muscum at Melbourne, Australia, the "dilly bag" of a black woman of the East Alligator River, in the Northern Territory of Australia, It is the equivalent of the white wo- man's vanity bag. The bag looks something like a closely woven onion bag but it is | made of grass stalks instead of string. Around it are displayed and labelled | the contents as carried about by the average woman of the Kakodu tribe. | Like any other woman she has her | powder and her paint--white pipeclay and red ochre for painting the body. She has even some locks of. hair, black and woolly, and probably her own, - Here and there among meals are fresh water mussel shells, a stone for pounding them open, part of a lily root, used for food, an orn- ament of kangaroo teeth a fragment of plaited split cane, a small lump | of beeswax, and a mass ol wool from the cotton trees, The life of a native woman at Al ligator River is told by her "dilly bag."

The reduction is 10,867 compared with 1932, The Smithfield Markets, which ave to the meat trade what Covent Gar. den is to vegetable produce, are not las busy as they were of yore.
