Speaking of the folder, a copy may be obtained by writing to the Dominion. Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Each of the three recipes which follow calls for tomatoes, either red or green. The Chili Sauce and Corn Relish should be made right away while ripe tomatoes are at their best, but the Green Tomato Chow-Chow may be left until a little later. Chili sauce is so good that even though one batch takes almost half the ex- tra pounds of sugar allowed per person, it is well worth using the 'lsugar for this purpose. The same might be said about the Green To- mato Chow-Chow which, incidental- ly, is an excellent way of making good use of those tomatoes in the garden which refuse to ripen. CHILI SAUCE 1 tablespoon whole cloves 3 tablespoons whole allspice 1 gallon chopped, skinned ripe to- matoes (8 pounds) f 214 cups chopped, peeled onions (6 medium) 2% cups chopped, seeded green or sweet red peppers (6 medium) 1% cups sugar 2 tablespoons salt 4 cups blended pickling vinegar Tie spices in cheesecloth bag.

I met an airman from western Canada been the same since. in everything. My mother advised me to go out with other young people and after a few months I met another Canadian. He was a sailor. -you will wonder why you ever thought of going back. Ina St. John. A SNAKE-IN-THE-GRASS Dear Miss St. John: Right after we come to town two the first year of the war. We fell in| years ago I met a grand guy. He love. We were engaged for a year; went overseas soon but we wrote and then he was killed. Nothing has to each other every week. Then a girl friend. told <a ore ae ee ; : he was going steady with a girl in Thad a good job but I lost interest Scotland, where he was stationed. I was so sore I stopped writing to him. When he came home the same week. I'll sign way. Daisy Mae. Answer: By all means take the chance that your boy friend has a girl in Scotland.

"Pardon suh," he said, "but is you de groom?" "No had a leave and spent it near our home. He took me everywhere and I would forget my loss when he was around. In a month he asked me to. marry him. I was not in love with him but I felt happier with him than I had since my lover died. Mother urged me to marry him and I did. In a few weeks he left England and he was not back to see our little baby boy. He was sent back to Canada when the war ended. He wrote that he was building a little home and begged me to come over just as soon as I could get passage. So I came over. Well, he met us with a big toy plane for Sonnie. (He is three years old now.) The little fellow was tired with the trip and he would not make up with his Dad. He took us to a friend's summer cottage for a few days (they were away). He told me our little house would not be ready for a month. He has spent a lot of money from the government on lovely furniture. He seems ten years older than when I last saw him. He was disappointed that Sonnie clings to me and will not make up; also 'he does not seem to care for me as he did. We now stay with his uncle and aunt. They are kind but do not real- 'ly want us here. Sonnie bothers them. J. is moody. He told his aunt I am like a different girl. He says I never was a chain smoker, for one thing. Well, I do not smoke more than one cigarette a day as a rule, but here I am so nervous and unset- tled I can't help it. J. has been true to me. Do you think I should go home, or stick it out though we are both unhappy? Mary. Answer: Well, Mary, let us con- sider both sides of the question. You have so much more than thousands of young couples--a man who has been true to you, a new home well furnished, a little boy to make it complete. If you return to England |' you will have to face the shortages again, for you and your child. You will have to support him, and while you are working someone else must care for the boy. Think of your hus- band. He has been true to you. He has supplied you with a good home. Probably the women in his family do not smoke. It is not pleasant for him to see you smoking constantly as you care for your child, though he did not object before your mar- riage. Keats ee ' At present you are overwrought with the unsettled state of your affairs. If you make up your mind to do your part you will be happy yet, Mary. Try to appreciate your husband's efforts to make you com- fortable. Believe me you have a great deal for which to be thankful. Encourage your little one to love his Daddy. When you are settled in 'your new home matters will adjust themselves.
