I With threshing days come threshâ€" ‘ing dinners. _ Now, a threshing dinâ€" ner does not mean the same to everyâ€" bodyâ€"not even to every farm woman. | Some fret and worry over the preparâ€" ation of the meal, while others apparâ€" ently enter upon the work with as much pleasure as if the task were that of preparing a picnic lunch. The viewpoint, the ability to manage, and the cooking and refrigerating faciliâ€" {ties have much to do with these difâ€" | ferences. Then there is the item f help. |\ _ Nor is the latter woman necessarily !to blame. _ Probably she would have | prepared much of the dinner in adâ€" | yance had it been practicable, Perâ€" haps she had no ice to keep fresh meat and other highly perishable | foods. â€" With ice, half the dinner may | be started or made ready the day beâ€" \fore. Even where ice is not used :regularly i? will pay to have it at threshing time. In the country and on the farm children are often required to work in the field and gardens too long at a time, or to carry water and other weights too heavy for their strength and often to work under a blazing sun. .Such early work interferes with growth and development, which is the one great business of childhood. Many men and women, whose physiâ€" cal strength is impaired, might trace their ills to sickness, underfeeding or overwork during the formative years of early childhood. The tasks children are given to do should be suited to their years, and varied by frequent opportunity to rest and to play. _ At the same time food should be good and plentiful and there should be long hours of sleep. The harm which heavy work can cause little children can be ill affordâ€" ed at any time, and least of all now, For the children must be kept well and strong to meet the demands which will confront them when they come to maturity and face the tasks of reconstruction in the critical years to comeâ€"work which will demand physical wellâ€"being as well as efficiâ€" ency and character. System comes first whenever any unusual task is to be looked after, and this is especially true of preparing the threshing dinner. One woman has chickens killed and dressâ€" ed in advance, if chickens are to be served as a part of the meal, while another waits until the last moment. As to the dinner, it should be plain but good and served in an appetizing manner. _ Men who handle pitchâ€" forks or do other heavy work all day want â€" something more â€" substantial than "fancy fixings." _ This does not not imply, though,â€" that boiled cabâ€" bage, fat meat, *and other heavy foods, important as they may be, are all that is required. _ There should be a variety. In such seasons as this, when vegetables are plentiful, threshing crews often get practically the same things day after day until their stomachs .rebel. Under these cireumstances it is a wise woman who provides at least a few dishes that are different. Qf course there must be as the basis of every threshingâ€"day dinner . plenty of good meat, preferably two | kinds, and an abundance of bread. If ; one of the meats can be such as is not | commonly served in the country it| will be all the better. Something; sweet in the way of preserves . Of, jelly is a good addition to the meal,| appealing as it will to the delicate; eater or to the man who is "too tired{ to eat."

P "Plenty to go without me," said | he. â€" "Besides, I‘ve got Joan to look . after. A sister‘s an obligation. Then: there‘s my brother Arthur‘s wife. She‘s giving _ Arthur no end â€" of trouble.

The delight of sleeping out of doors, and of sniffling the fresh, clear air during the night, is denied many peoâ€" ple because no sleeping porch . is practicable in their home. To build such a porch is often both inconveniâ€" ent and expensive. A way to combine. an indoor and an outdoor bed has been devised by a large school for boys and is so simple and feasible that it might well be adopted in private homes, as it is possible to build it,into any room. THe bunk is built into a corner, of the room, below a wide window. A similar window â€" separates the bed from the room. â€" Both windows may be raised or lowered by means of pulâ€" ley ropes at the head of the bunk. The youngster gets out of his dayâ€" time clothes and into his snug sleepâ€" ing suit in the warm room. When he is ready to turn in, he lifts the window between the room and his bed, slips into the bunk and lowers the inner window again, _ He then reaches %p and pulls the rope which raises the outer window. â€" He is outâ€" doors, yet ‘protected by the warm walls of the bunk. During the day an attractive couch cover transforms the sleeping bunk into an inviting window seat. Accuracy is one of the first essenâ€" tials of successful canning. Do not look for short cuts for there are none. Always follows a reliable guide and remember that in canning there is one best method, which will ensure uniform success year after year.

The Board urges that a family of two should not use more then an aggregate of one quarâ€" ter of a leve! cupful of sugar per day for cooking, table use and all other purposes except preserving, and for other families consumption should be limited to the same proportion. "There will not be sufficient «sugar it it is consumed in other ways in the homes to the same extent as in former years, or if people eat up in the nomes sugar which has been saved by regulation of manufactur» ers," the statement says. } The Board adds that it has imposed very " eonsiderable _ hardships on _manufacturers, for the sake of securing sufficient for the householdâ€" er, and that it isâ€"now the househoidâ€" er‘s plain duty to discontinue extraâ€" vagant use of sugar. "Candy manufacturers have had their allowanee of sugar reduced to | one half of the amount used by them \last year. _ Cake and biscuit makers ‘have been placed on a rigorous raâ€" tion basis and are now using syrups \ and other available substitutes to a Ehrge extent. Jam manufacturers |\ are even using raw sugar.

"Publjc eating places have been put on a ration of two pounds of sugar for ninety meals for all purposes, and it is the duty of househoiders to obâ€" serve a similar ration in their homes. There simply is not enough granulatâ€" ed sugar available to meet usua‘ domestic/ consumption demands and also to provide for canning and preâ€" serving. _ Not only must householdâ€" ers reduce their use of all cane sugar but part of their honor ration should be brown sugar instead of granulâ€" atec¢,.‘ Among the ways in which the public are asked to conserve sugar, in addition to observing the honor ration of not more than two pounds, per person, per month, are the follo w â€" ing:â€" Use white corn syrup in canning and preser\'fng. Use no more than one level *ouâ€" spoonful of sugar in swectening any cup of tea, coffee or other beverase. Discontinue the making of » pastries. Use no more sugar in canning « preserving than is absolutely necc sary. The making of heayy serves is not necessary «topped. "The greatest waste of sugar does not occur in the manufacture . of candy, or in commercial uses, all of which are now under drastle regulaâ€" tions. Instead,it is found in unnece=â€" sary and excessive use of sugar in the homes," says the Food Board. ‘The time has come when the people of Canada must understand that sugar consumption must be reduced. With reasonable conservation there will be sufficient â€"to take care of preseryvâ€" ing _ requirements, and _ to meet the necessary demands until the end of the year when the new crop will be available, but this can only be asâ€" sured by reduced domestic consumpâ€" tion. _ If extravagance~is continued in the homes, shortage is unavoidable and the blame will rest with the householder."
