In the upper left picture an attractive young housewife begius the long trip from kitchen to battle front, by salvaging her waste fats. She strains it into a wide-mouthed tin. In the upper right a pound of waste fat is turned into the neighborhood butcher. In the lower left picture a worker calmly pours liquid T.N.T., made from salvaged kitchen fats, into anti-aircraft shells. Finally, bombs made in Canada and filled with explosives through kitchen co-operation, drop on enemy targets. For Corns and Calloiises JOHNSTON'S w) DOES THE TRICK & AND DOES IT QUICK!

The Agricultural Supplies Board of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture is encouraging Canadians to grow home and community gardens this year. Not all farmers have vegetable gardens to supply their own family's needs, although a great many farmers do grow some vegetables. The farm- er's burden is already a heavy one, for on him rests the responsibility for supplying not only Canada's food needs but the ever increasing needs of people in the Allied countries. The growing of a vegetable garden that will be sufficient for his own needs is one more job that the farmer is be- ing asked to undertake this year, but the last job can well be undertaken as a co-operative family affair. Where potatoes are grown the Department of Agriculture suggests that the size of the patch be doubled this year, and surplus potatoes sold, and also urges the use of certified seed. If vegetable plots are fenced, the Department of Agriculture suggests 'emoving the fence so that farm ma- chinery can be used more easily for ploughing and cultivating, and that the best possible use can be made of all space. --< - == BRITAIN'S DEPUTY MINISTER VISITS NEWFOUNDLAND REGIMENT IN SCOTLAND Mr. C.

GLASS UTENSILS TAKE PLACE OF METAL TO COOKFAMILY'S MEALS As pots and pans in the kitchen are wearing out and becoming scarce, many Canadian housewives are turn- ing to glass utensils in which to cook their family's meals. Particularly when time is at a premium these days, glass ovenware is a welcome addition, because it can be placed di- rectly on the table, and also can be used for storage in the ice box. Washing in ordinary soap and water will generally keep glass utensils clean, since food does not stick read- ily to the surface. If there are a few tough spots to clean up, a little fine scouring powder and an ordinary dish- rag or brush will usually fix them up in a moment or two. Sometimes discoloration is noticed. Water boiled with two tablespoons of vinegar, then washed and dried as usual, will remedy this condition. It is important that housewives re- member to use only a moderate heat for glass utensils. Excessive heat not only causes the utensils to crack, but makes food stick to them and wastes fuel as well. Empty glass pans should never be left over hot elements. When dishes are in the ice box, evaporation is prevented, and the food ; odors cannot permeate the ice box, 'if covers are tight-fitting. Covers also keep the foods from losing their ' flavor.

Here are two attractive, young "Miss Messengers," dressed in their natty, serviceable uniforms, checking a bicycle. A Miracle Broadcasting personal messages over great distances has been one of the human interest features of the wireless. Since the war began it has played a big part in keeping men in touch with their homeland. The BBC tells the story of Louise, a four-year- old, whose Daddy in India wondered if she would forget him and longed to hear her voice "by some miracle" each time he listened to a broadcast from home. So the BBC arranged it. She talked naturally into the box that was going to take her message to Daddy, listened as it was played back to her, and asked anxiously, "Do you think Daddy will like that?" Said her Aunt, "He will think it is a mir- acle." Psychic Treatments work when others fail!
