He confessed that this was the first vacation he had taken since he began practice. fie was good for her and she was good for him. The more he talked with Peter Noyes the better he liked him. At the end of the dayâ€"after seeing them started in the morning, Monte uzed to go out and walk his legs off till iunetl‘ timeâ€"he enjoyed dropping into a chair by the side of Peter. It was wonderful how already Peter had picked up. _ He had gained not only in weight and color, but a mrkedi mental change was noticeable. He always came back from his ride inl high spirits. So completely did he‘ ignore his blindness that Monte, talkâ€" ing with him in the dark, found himâ€" self forgetting itâ€"awakening to the fact each time with a shock when it was necessary to offer an assisting "And Madame Monteâ€"where is she? I noticed by the register there is such a person." "Iâ€"I think he said she had been called awayâ€"unexpectedly," Marjory gasped "And I too," nodded Beatrice.

"Monte romantic?" smiled Marjory.‘ ;‘That'n the one thing in the world he | sn‘t : * "Just who is he, anyway ?" inquired Beatrice. _ "He‘s just Monte," answered Marâ€" "I like him," declared Peter. "I‘ll be mighty glad to see more of him." _ She turned aside with an uncomfortâ€" able feeling that Beatrice had noticed her confusion. "You‘re to lunch with me," she said. "Then, for dinner, Mr. Covington has asked us all to join him." "Covington?" _ exclaimed _ Peter. "Isn‘t he the man who was so decent to me this morning ?" So Monte would go on his way again, and she would be leftâ€"she and Peter. _ I, then, what Beatrice said was true,â€"if it was within her powâ€" er, at no matter what sacrifice, to give Peter back the sight she had tiken.â€" then so she might undo some of the wrong she had done. The bigger the sacrilhice, the fiercer the fire might i:se to burn her clean. _ Because she been forced to sacrifice everyâ€" thing, if now she sacrificed everyâ€" thing, perhaps she could get back a little peace in return. She would give her life to Peterâ€"give him everyâ€" thing that was left in her to give. Humbl{ she would serve him and nurse the light back into his eyes. Was it gossible to do this?

Cleanliness is an absolute essential that is based upon fundamental princiâ€" ples. The kitchen should be compact in its arrangements, so that no motion may be lost. _ Unless one can afford a tiled kitchen, a durable wash paint is the most economical.

The busy woman of toâ€"day realizes what efficiency in the kitchen means to her further ability to easily supply to her family nutritious food without waste of time and strength. The problem of obtaining help brings to the housewife a thought of the time, strength and energy required to keep the household at par. â€" So that to equip the kitchen with modern tools and to replace the furnishings of the household laboratory in an attracâ€" tive manner is no longer a fad, but a dire necessity.

Why should not every Canadian woâ€" man who bakes her own bread get inâ€" to the habit of using a certain percentâ€" age of potatoes? Those who have tried it out are enthusiastic about the The British Ministry of Food has proved that excellent bread can be made by the addition of 15.20 and even 50 per cent. of potatoes. It has provâ€" ed that a loaf made of @qual parts of flour and potatoes adds 5% pounds of bread for every 7 pounds of potatoes else, to use any millable wheat for feed for any kind of animals, Conâ€" gumers are prohibited from accumu}â€" ating stocks of flour beyond their acâ€" tual current needs and must return to dealers any excess they may have been hoarding, and dealers must reâ€" port their excess stocks which will be returned to the millers or disposed of as the Canada Foo® Board directs. It is entirely out of the question for the mills, under these conditions, to ghip full carloads of bran and shorts to meet the demand for feed without causing users at other points to suffer. It would make no difference to the miller whether he «old in full carâ€" loads or in less than carloads, for his price to the trade is fixed at the same amount per ton in both cases, but the \best and fairest method of distribuâ€" ‘tion has required shipment in smaller quantities. _ If a dealer does not reâ€" quire flour or some other cereal proâ€" duce to fill a car, this of course inâ€" volves the payment by the dealer of the higher freight rate charged upon [1.«6.1. shipments. This difference in freight may run from $1.00 to $10.00 per ton, according to distance. Dealers are naturally anxious to avoid this extra cost, which might put them at a disadvantage as compared with competitors in the same district who could fill a mixed car, and although there is no extra profit to them the millers do not desire their customers to be at a disadvantage if they need oats, batrley, oatmeal or flour which could be used to fill the car. There is, however, no such thing as compulâ€" sion on the pnrtoldu:x{lkr nor any financial object on his part in insistâ€" ing, since he can make no more money by doing so and already has a bigger market for all his products than he can fill. The critical condition of food supâ€" plies for the Allies during the next gew months has led the Canada Food Board to pass additional orders affectâ€" ing wheat and flour. It has been u,_ndoAiIlegll for farmers, or anyone of the lower grade flour would be addâ€" ed to the shorts to make middlings so that there would be a total of about 81 pounds of feed produced. Under the Order now in force the mills must make 196 pounds of flour out of 258 pounds of wheat and cannot turn any back into the shorts, so that toâ€"day only 59 pounds of feed is made in the process of grinding a barrel of flour and the richer feeds cannot be made at all. Taking an equal amount of wheat in each case, this means that almost 25 per cent. less feed is being made than before, which of course has made the feed problem still more difficult. The extreme need of our Allies in Europe for every pound of flour and every bushel of wheat that could be spared has necessitated the lengthenâ€" ing of the extraction in milling. Under ordinary conditions about 270 pounds of wheat would be used to make 196 pounds of flour, and allowing 3 pounds for waste there would remain 71 pounds of offal, but about 10 pounds these feeds is many times the total output of Canadian mills and comes from all parts of the country. The prices fixed for bran and shorts have made them relatively cheaper than other feeds, such as oats and barley, and this has increased the demand and, moreover, in many parts of the country, oats and barley were a short croplast year, as was also hay. The Canada Food Board, the Feed Branch of the Department of Agriâ€" culture and the millers have been working together for months upon the very difficult problem of the fairest method of distributing bran . and shorts. â€" The demand in Canada for ’ Frequent statements appear that mills are insisting upon dealers buy» ing large amounts of flour in order to s: feed. _ This is not the case, and not been for some time. . The mills are able to sell all the flour they can make for export to the Allfes, for cash, and at a price equivalent to that allowed by the Canade Food Board to be charged to the Canadian trade and there is no necessity for attentpting to force sales in Canada, as otherwise might be the cause, for feed cannot be made unless flour is made and can be sold .
