Here, for instance, are some recipes for dishes that are de- cidedly econcmical--and just as de- cidedly delicious: Baked Prunes Cover 1 pound of prunes with cold water and let stand for 4 hours. Drain prunes and reserve the liquid; add 3, cup sugar to the liquor and boil until the sugar' is dk:solved, skim- ming if necessary. Place the drained prunes in a covered casserole, cover with hot liquor and bake In moderate over (425 degrees F.) 40 minutes, CalHornia Prune Betty 2 cups cooked prunes 2 apples . 3 cups soft bread crumb 1/3 cup granulated sugar 14 cup butter Cinnamon 1/3 cup prune juice. Pit prunes and slice. Pare, core and slice apples, Arrange one-third the bread crumbg in baking dish, gover with half the prunes, sugar, apples and .butter, Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, Add half of remain- ing crumbs, then remaining prunes, sugar, apples, butter and more cin: namon. Cover: with crumbs and add prune juice, Cover dish and bake about 1 hour in a moderate over (375 degrees F.), Orange Milk Foam (Serves 1) ' 6 tablespoons orange juice 6 tablespoons evaporated milk ¢ tablespoons cold water 1 teaspoon sugar 4 1 teaspoon grated orange rind Beat or shake thoroughly, Serve at once in a large gla:s, chilling with ice if desired, Fresh milk -may be used in place of evaporated milk. This is an excellent mid-meal drink for children who are undernourished. It is also a good beverage accompani- ment for meals. Evaporated milk makes the drink very economical, Mother of oh hd PBA A A 3 » t Ry REE (od Murra y Daughter +L vl He A recent studio portrait of Hon.

Her marrigge to the Hon. in England in the early part of 1934. Peter Aitken took place (By Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario Minister -of Highways.) Even the most casual observer as he travels along the highways may see plenty of evidence of the errors in judgment and hasty decisions on the part of drivers which are the fundamental causes of the majority of accidents. ' The actions and behavior of such motorists seem to indicate that the safety of themselves and others is of small consequence in comparison with the possibility of saving a few minutes, or even a few seconds. The statistics of accidents also point to this lack of a proper judg: ment of values. . "TRUST YOUR OWN JUDGMENT; NOT WITH THE WHIM OF A CHILD" The explanation would seem to be that drivers generally will reduce their speed on roads that are obvi- ously unsafe, but cannot resist the temptation to travel at speeds be- yond reasonable control when road conditions are good. In other words, allowance is usual- ly made for obvious dangers but a clear rcad breeds a false sense of security which too often leads to accidents, This is especially true when chil- dren are at play. Apparently many drivers assume that tne child on the sidewalk will stay there until the car has passed. Thus, all through the Spring and Summer months ac- TRESS a. -_ WHEN MARK TWAIN SPOKE IN QUEBEC "In 1881 Mark Twain visited Mon. treal and Quebec. In the former city he was given a dinner by leading citizens" writes the Winnipeg Tri- bune. : Prof, Stephen Leacock, who has recently written ga book, analyzing the humorist"s characteristics, who is interesting in the centenary do- ings connected with Clemens' natal celebration, now in progress, has unearthed 'the speech Mark made in Montreal from the files of a local newspaper. In dealing with his Quebee visit he injected a quizzical touch un- mistakably his own to the accom- paniment of Irresistible laughter and loud applause. And despite the lapse of time tae picture he drew in 1881 still holds good of the Ancient Capital, with some non.essential modifications, He sald (in part): "I have seen the calashe Champlain employed when rived overland at Quebec. I have seen the horse which Jacques Car- tier rode when he discovered Mon- treal. IT have used them both; I will never do it again. "Yes, I have seen all the historical places; the localities have been pointed out to me where the scen. ery Is warehouszed for the season, "My sojourn has been to my moral and intellectual profit; I have behav. ed with propriety and discretion. "I have meddled nowhere except in the election. But I am used to voting, for I live In ag town where, it you may judge by the local prints, there are only two conspicuous In. dustries; committing burglarlegs and holding elections--and 1 like to keep my hand in, so I voted a good deal here in Quebec, "Where so present are French, will be recognized to my making a portlon of my speech in that beautiful language, in order that 1 may be partly understood.

One morning as downcast 1 wonder- ed along, - Because some little plan of my own had gone wrong, She noticed my frown as I came to her gate And asked me my burden of trouble to state.

Try either or both of these re- cipes and see how true this is: © Stuffed Eggs. Shell hard cooked eggs and cut in halves lengthwise. Remove yolks 'and mash well. Add to mashed yolk a small amount of soft butter, finely chopped mustard cucumber pickle, sufficient of the mustard dressing from the pickle to moisten the egg yolks, and salt to taste. Fill egg whites with prepared mixture, Sprinkle lightly with paprika, . } Cole Slaw 14 small cabbage, shredded 14 pimento, chopped 1 cup home-made style pickles, chopped : 14 to 3 cup mayonnaise or cooked galad dressing. P Mix lightly together, cabboge, pi- miento and pickles. Add enough may- onnalse to moisten the mixture. Serve cold. Many wonderful dishes may be prepared by combining various fruits with meats. These are the kind of balanced unusual dishes that are ideal for guest service, Baked Ham Entree Place zix slices canned pineapple in a buttered pudding dish, Cut 3 sweet potatoes lengthwise and cover pineapple. Add a third layer of 3 gliced apples, topped with 2 ham slices. Pour over layers either pine- apple juice or % cup of water, de- pending on sweetness desired. Cook in a slow oven in a covered dih for 2 hours, or until tender, Dredge the top with brown sugar, dot with bits Club Plate Salad (Serves. 1) On the large section of an ovrdin. ary grill 'plate, arrange bed of crisp lettuce and centre with a scoop of cottage cheese. Circle cheese with segments of orange, making a double row ~of segments, (Segments should have all enveloping membrane re- moved.) Garnish witha a maraschino cherry. Serve with a sweet French dressing; On smaller divisions of plate, ar- range a mound of potato wzalad, gar- nished with olives and a slice of hard cooked egg, and two small pea- nut butter jelly sandwiches, Accompany with a beverage, pref- erably orange juice. Household Uses For Sale Moths can be driven out of rugs or carpets with greater speed and more certainty it salt is sprinkled over the surface before sweeping, making certain, however, that salt is removed In the cleaning, Shampoo the scalp weekly with dry salt, sprinkling it liberally on the hair and massaging thoroughly for 5 to 10 minutes, All salt should then he removed. Thig stimulates circulation, removes dandruff and gives the hair a natural lustre, Baths may be cleaned in half the usual time if dry isalt_is used as a rub before washing, This also ap- plies to washstands, lavatories and polished stone or slate surfaces, If the iron seems rough and dirty, just when the clothes are all ready for ironing, sprinkle some salt on a newspaper and rub the hot iron over it. It will be llke new, When wash. As an example of this, we find that December--about the least favorable month for pedestrian travel--is the second worst month from the standpoint of pedestrian accidents. Also, the non-collision type, which includes mishaps in which vehicles run off the roadway ot overturn, might be expected to be most frequent during the Winter when road surface conditions and poor visibility make proper control difficult. Yet, actually, the peak in July during the past four years was 142 per cent. greater than the total for December. ing, too, it you discover clothes or sheets with iron rust or ink stains, the:e may be easily removed by a mixture of salt and lemon julce, There will be no smoke nor odor when making pancakes if the griddle all'tis rubbed with a little bag of salt instead of grease, Sometimes a broom will wear shor. ter on one side than the other. If this is the case, dip it in hot water and 'trim evenly. The broom will be as serviceable as a new one, When flakes of soot blow onto a light felt hat, do not try to rub them off, nor wet the spots. Merely cov- er the spots with some dry salt, then remove with a stiff brush, When the oven seems to be too hot and one fears the contents; of the casserole may cook too quickly, place a sheet of wax paper under the casserole cover and it will slow the process of cooking, 3 ; = cidents are reported in which the driver states, "The child darted from the sidewalk into my path. 1 didn't have a chance to stop". In "almost every case this is the truth, but what such drivers fail to realize is that the child on the sidewalk is a danger signal which must be passed with caution and reduced speed if safety. is to be assured. The great increase in accidents in- volving children during the late Spring and Summer months, an in- crease which is, to be observed in sccident_ statistics year after year, is conclusive evidence that drivers still place too much reliance on the judgment of the child in such cir- cumstances. "Trust your own good judgment, not the whim of a child," is an ex- 'cellent rule at all times and especial- ly during the sunny days of Spring and Summer when the number of children on the street is much larger than at other times. Show Slight Decline Ottawa. -- There were 874,556 persons at work on April 1, accord- ing to reports rceived from 9,066 employers by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. On March 1 the num- ber employed was 902,138. The slight. curtailment as compared with last month, the report states, was due to a between. seasons' contrac- tion, the logging program being completed before any considerable number of workers were absorbed in the outdoor industries. Despite the falling off in employ- ment on April 1, the index showed a gain of more than two points come pared with April 1, 1934, when it stood at 96.4 against 91.3, vant asked, 'what 'would Monsieur?

F. Langworthy, Winnetka, IL, national president, told the 39th congress of parents and teachers. Foundations of nations rest in the ; home, she sald, and in the training ot children lies the greatest oppor. tunity to prevent wars. "With war clouds looming fa Europe, vhat are we doing in our homes to avert the next war?' she asked. "Few of us had any wish for our country to enter the World War, but, having entered it, we worked furious- favorable to our country and our boys, "We were totally blind to the fact that behind much of the war stimu- lation was the greed of manufactur ers who were accumulating vast for. tunes from munitions and supplies. "So convinced were we of the righteousness of keeping the world safo for democracy that we felt somoewhat disloyal in belleving the tales about the industrial urge be- hind the war and only now our ROV- ernment is giving us the facts about the selling of munitions and who sells them." Mrs. Longworthy delivered a strong plea for teaching of the prin. ciples of friendship and peace among children, to avert avarice in ma- turity, flustrating that governments rise and: fall on early training of citizens. Economics Of Living (Time.) New York City doctors recently ceased talking idly about the dif- ficulties of keeping themselves and their patients alive in the local ccon- omic swamp, started the following reconstructive measures: Proposed was a plan to charge poor people who are too proud to take charity doctoring $1 an office call, $2 a house visit. The standard rates now are $2 at the oflice, $3 at home, Specialists now charge $26 for a cone sultation in the office, $50 outside, They propose to charge the proud poor $5 and $10 vespectively.

The 700 midwives practicing in New York City last year took carve of 5.000 confinements, earning an average of $40 a case. They thus deprived licensed doctors, who aver- age $25 a delivery, of work and money. Recently Dr. Sigismund Commissioner of Hospitals, set about remedying that situation by ordering the Bellevue School for Midwives closed. That school was founded in 1911 to put midwifery on a scientific basis, has trained 731 midwives, has 21 in its present training class. The Robin Returns Why the never failing popularity of this feathered visitor? Is it not that this red breasted gentleman brings a new message of hope after the long Winter? The average man may not diagnose his feelings thus, but surely this is the reason. - And through the Spring and early Summer this same thought is car- vied on. Listen, as the last glowing bars of sunset linger in the West. There, silhouetted against the af- terglow, perched atop the tallest tree, is a robin, pouring out his song long after other birds havo gone to rest. The heart of the robin is too full to allow the day to die in silence. If one reads his story aright, it has been a wonderful day, and he is grateful for it. Recall then, that the first music to greet the dawn tomorrow will be the notes of this same bird in an anthem of anticip- ation, for no matter how ordinary his place'is in society, life to the robin is something to sing about from rosy dawn to dusk. Perhaps the reason why the robin holds so strong a place in our af- fections is that we too hope to acquire from him some Hay that same ability to meet life constantly with a song in the heart.--~Calgary Herald.
