Canada does not produce sufficient -- bran-and shorts to feed hogs in nor- mal times and recourse to other feeds ~ has always been necessary. In the. effort, however, to aid farmers, an export embargo was placed on mill | offal and the price of bran and shorts was fixed in fair proportion to the price of wheat and several dollars a ton lower than in the United States. This, of course, was satisfactory as far as it went but the trouble was that it could not possibly go far en- ough. Not enough bran and shorts are produced in Canada to go around. Canadian mills from September 1st, 1915 to February 1st, 1918, ground at the rate of 18,000,000 bushels of wheat a month, which was a very. high proportion as 'compared to normal. From this amount of wheat, however, under the new standard flour EW, aie se HET COMPANY Us Ve | "Used for making ' hard and soft soap, for | softening water, for clean- ing, disinfecting and for over S00 other purposes.

It gave him at least some justifica- tion for his moment of temptation; j@emorse, 'but it also brought vividly before him countless new dangers. If this were love, then he must face day after day of this sort of thing. Then he would be at the mercy of a passion that must inevitably lead him either to, Hamilton's plight or to Chic War- ren's equally unenviable position. Each man, in his own way, paid the cost: Hamilton, made at Maxim's; Chic pacing the floor, with beade brow, at night. With these two ex- amples before him, surely he should have learned his lesson. Against them he could place his own normal life--ten years of it without a single hour such as these hours through which he was now living. . That was because he had kept steady. Ambition, love, drunkenness, gluttony--these were all cesse His own father had desired mightily to be governor of a State, and it had killed him; his grandfather had died had friends who had died of love, and others who had overdrunk and over- eaten. The secret of happiness was not.to want anything you did not have If you went beyond that, you paid the cost in new sacrifices, leading again to sacrifices growing out of those. | Monte lighted a cigarette and in- haled a deep puff. The thing for him to do was fairly clear: to pack his bag and leave while he still re- tained the use of his reasoning faculties. | He had been swept off his feet for an instant, that was all.

As Mrs. Covington she could travel as safely without him as with him. Even Hamilton was eliminated. He had received his lesson.

"Tt was an inky black night when I started. I had gone some distance when unexpectedly I came on the Ger- man trench. I could have put out my hand and touched the men. The trench, a deep, narrow one, was light- ly held, and it would have been impos- sible for me with my broken leg to My eldest daughter ig giving all her time to Red Cross work, and without her help I found myself unable to cope with the housework. It was this problem that I took to the Corner Club for solution. "All the children need new rompers and dresses, the mending basket is full to running over, the curtains all /need washing, I haven't read a maga- zine for weeks, and I'm tired all over," I finished my summary of the situation. "T have a few suggestions on how not to get tired," said Mrs. Gilbert, and the Corner Club was immediately all attention, because no one of us gets more done, looks younger for her age, and has more leisure time than Mrs, Gilbert.- "I've been married twenty-six years and I've never had what you would call a sure-enough vacation. I never get two weeks for a vacation, so I just take ten-minute vacations," she told us. "I mean that at least three times a day, just when I'm apt to get most worked up about all there is to be done, I simply sit down in my rock- ing-chair or lie down, or, if it's nice weather, go outdoors for at least ten minutes. It's a wonderful help. Then I always wear rubber heels, keep my voice low, because there's nothing so wearing as talking in a high voice, and I try to sit and stand in the most restful way. When things go wrong and I'm getting mad or blue, I take a few deep breaths, hold up my head, and practice a grin. . It's the best tired-and-cross tonic I know of." Then Mrs. Robert Holliday, who takes the prize amongst us for the three S's--sewing, "saving, and sys- tem--volunteered her pet theories about family sewing. "T have a regular factory method for my sewing,' she said. "It is one that I hear some--large Red Cross chapters are using too--at least parts of it. I buy materials in large quantities. My best months for sew- ing are in the middle of the winter. Early in December I sit down and plan the sewing I must accomplish during the next three months, so that I won't have much of it to do in spring and summer when the farm work is heavy. es "T make a list of all the materials {shall need, including thread and but- tons in large quantities.

I resolved that, I would try her method out on the half-dozen aprons I had been hoping to find time to make soon, and which I should have undoubtedly finished one by one. "What do you do about mending? Do you have a system for that?" asked Mrs, Powell. "Yes, indeed, I do,'"' was the quick answer. "You all know that I wash clothes only every other Tuesday, be- cause it seems a waste of time to| wash every week. On Wednesday I! iron, and lay aside everything that) must be mended.

Next/| I do any patching or repairing of rips that can be done on the sewing ma- chine, and finally darn the stockings." "One of my best time-savers these days is my new war cookbook," said Mrs. Powell. "Of course our old re- cipes won't do at all now, and I find that it wastes time and materials try- ing to adapt them to the Food Con- troller's rules. So I have started a new card-index cookbook, exclusively for recipes that conform to the wheat, meat, sugar, and fat saving program. The headings I use are Victory Breads, Victory Cakes, Sugar-Saving Desserts, Meat Substitutes, and War- Garden Recipes." My mind was working busily by this time, and I began to see that the trouble with me was that I simply hadn't sat down and faced my 'war- time problem squarely. What I need- ed to do was to analyze it, turn it over, look at every side of it, think right through to the end of it--and then act. So I was quite ready to listen-when Mrs, Lowry, who is our president and oldest member, and friend and adviser to every one of us, said gently: "Do you mind if I am a little per- sonal in my suggestions?" And when I assured her that, far from "minding," I should be grateful for this kind of criticism, she said: "T remember watching you bake a cake. You went to the refrigerator, | got out the butter, and set)it on the range to soften; then you went back to the refrigerator and got the eggs. You next went to the cupboard and took down a bowl in which to beat the eggs, then you crossed the kitchen to the cabinet and took down the egg heater. When you were ready to mix the cake you had to go back to the cupboard for the measuring cup, and later for a teaspoon to measure | vanilla. You made a separate trip | for each utensil or material that you! needed during the entire process. And, worse still, as you finished with the vanilla, for example, you walked back to the pantry and put it away, instead of leaving it on the bake table and putting away all the various articles -- } at one time. You could have done} it with one third the energy if you! had thought out what you needed and collected your materials before you! began to mix the eake, making only E one trip to the cupboard, one to the | * pantry, and.so on, When the cake wags in the oven it would have taken: only a#ew minutes to gather the soil- | ed utensils and put them in the sink, | and put away the extra materials." I felt much encouraged when the meeting finally brdke up, and I went back to my kitchen. analyzing my problem I could. see that I was wasting time and using up 'strength in several important ways: 'First, by not having all my utensils and materials at hand when: I began 'a task; second, by leavin® a task to do other unrelated things which might as well wait; third, by_not using all the labor-saving devices I could secure to help me; fourth, by failing to plan my work out systematically ertilizer| ¢ Conservation--use without abuse, | WEST TORONTO - -- CANADA by the day, week, and season. { -- # owing to the fact that he is blind in} and shorts produced in Canada would. has developed almost into a marks-} man, firing from the left shoulder.

An officer of'a steamer from an American port gives a stirring account of a ninety-mile fight with a U-boat in the Atlantic. It lasted from the firing of a torpedo, which just missed, | at a quarter to twelve am., until | twenty 'minutes to six 'p.m. During | that time the stokers worked without ceasing to get every ounce of speed out of the boilers. The engineers got her up from. a normal ten or eleven | knots to more than thirteen and a half. | "The gunners were on duty every second," said the officer. "From the bridge we could see every shot from the submarine. We formed a big, high target 500 feet long, and the en- emy showed only a small dome five miles astern. A couple of hours inef- fectual shelling made him a bit ven- turesome, but our gunners speedily showed him that it was unhealthy to come too close, "We had plenty of ammunition, and we used it lavishly. With constant practice, too, our gunners began to get better. Nevertheless, about three o'clock the German gunners got out some better shells and shrapnel be- gan to rain on our decks. The man in the wheelhouse was struck by a splin- ter. A shot pierced the scupper over the boatswain's room. Another struck us abaft the engine room on the port side. "For a while the fight was fierce. Then for half an hour no shot. were fired, while the submarine manoeuvred for position. Our ship was vibrating with the speed. Our captain paced the bridge, keenly observant. When the U-boat finally got the position he wanted and renewed the shellfire, our gun crew decided to let them have it as hot as our gun would stand. After a few minutes we landed a_ shell squarely on the German's back. It ap- parently disturbed him a good deal, for he stopped firing at once, then slackened speed, altered coudre and submerged. The bachelor may think he is hay- ing a good time but really he isn't. Gunners, FEED YOUR STOVE BRIG Is easy to A> use and will not burn. A cow would con- ing to its age, from one-half pound to three pounds--though little shorts, of course, is fed to,\the more mature hogs. There were, approximately, 3,619,828 hogs in Canada last year, so that out of every five or six hogs, only one would be able to get a full! three-pound ration of shorts per day or, if the shorts was divided equally | among all the hogs, less than two- thirds of a pound would be the maxi- mum allowance. ; Nor is this all there is to the prob-! lem. The question of distributing this feed to the farmers throughout Canada arises. It has been suggest- ed that farmers be allowed car-load lots. There are 714,646 farms in Canada. Giving each one, its share would mean that each farm would get a car-load once in twenty-four years. | A car-load contains twenty-five tons and there are about eighty-four car- loads of bran and shorts produced in Canada per day. It takes a 100 barrel mill about fourteen days to produce a car-load of feed. Sixty per cent. of Canadian mills have no great- er capacity than 100 barrels a day or less, and could ship a car-load no oftener than once a fortnight. Nevertheless, despite this difficulty | and all difficulties, Canada will have to produce more hogs. The European | situation depends on it. The difficul- | ties will have to be overcome. Farm- ' ers will have to grow the. coarser grains and depend less upon mill offal. American corn will be coming more freely into Canada as the fine weather develops and transportation difficul- 'ties lessen. Every farmer should realise that we are at war, that Allied Europe is hard pressed, and determine to do the best he can, under | his own circumstances. | ! To Brighten Linoleum.

'The cloth was a light cotton drill, as suited the climate of Hindustan, and took its name from a native term -- "khaki," which means in the Urdu Jan- guage "dusty," being derived from "khak" or dust. Thus the term applied to the color of the cloth rather than to the material. According to the dictionary, it is pronounced kaykee by the natives, but the English pronounced it kharkee, and this is correct. But as cotton was not warm enough for all climates, uniforms of the same kind were made of serge, and the term khaki thus included woollen. Because it was well fitted for the climate of Cuba and the Philippines the United States chose khaki for the soldiers' uniforms during the Spanish American War.
