""emTARio ARCHIVES ' _--- TORONTO i Doctors who have studied tttttl Lett/tr, carefully tell us that most) I persons who contract tuberculosis aref infected in childhood. In Net, eight. l of ten persons have the germs at some f time in their lives. Every year 12,500 lpersonal die of the white plague in lCanada. This means about M,000 l active cases in the country Tight now. ‘A large percentage of these victims iare suffering needlessly. "Ad many ,' of these patients became infected in .1 babyhood, mothers should be made to l realize the great responsibility that in , theirs." says Dr. Victor Vaughan, an {authority on tuberculosis. Does your baby play on the Boor, Mm. Yormemothert Are you very careful to see that he comes in con- tact with no unclean substances'. Do You know that n deadly disease lurks in dust and dried sputum carried into the house on people's feet? During the flrst few months of tl, child’s life there is very little sign of tuberculosis. If the newborn Gui) and the tuberculosis germ could be) kept far apart the country would' eventually be rid of the white plague! Therefore, a serious duty rests with! the mother. I "It is just about the time I babyi begins to play on the floor and to have a chase in his diet that ttij) tuberculosis infection begins to oc-; cur," says Doctor Vaughan. "Tht mother places the child on the ftoor) unthinkingly, perhaps, and wholly un-l mindful of the germs which may he lurking there. The child’s impulse to put everything into his mouth does the rest. Clean material should first be placed on the floor as a protection. Only sanitary toys should be given him and under no circumstances should he be permitted to have a /iJieTfiis/.; The latter has no merits lwhatever. On the contrary, it is a germ carrier and often works untold harm to a child." Another matter which Doetorl Vaughan lays special stress upon was that of allowing a child to drink from the same cups as the grownups or biting from the same morsels of food. "Eaeh child should have his individual dishes and receptacles," he continued. "This is the most common cause of infection and the quickest way in which disease is spread." Soups may easily be divided into three classes: Puree: or cream of vegetable soups, meat-stock soups and meatless vegetable soups. The first class is usually made with a single vegetable, such as peas, com or potatoes as a base. The vegetable, after being cooked, is pressed through a sieve or colander, added to the re- quired amount of milk, or milk and water, boiled up, thickened with flour and seasoned. The second class has, as a founda-| tion, meat stock to which the vege- tables are added. Every particle of meat, bone and gristle should be made to yield its last atom of nourishment in soup with which to begin every day's dinner. It is not necessary to serve much at a time, for more sub- stantial food follows. Put the scraps of meat and bone in an earthenware) or porcelain-lined pot, place over the) fire and just cover with cold water,' letting it heat gradually and simmer long and slowly. Let stand over night and next morning skim " fat. The flavor may then be varied by different vegetables or seasoning. There are in the bones and gristle, " well as in the meat, qualities that are needed in the The third class is perhaps simplest and most economical of all. It may be made entirely of left-over vege- tables, or it may include both left- overs and newlycocked vegetables. Perhaps there are some cold potatoes (any kind), a little gravy, a few spoonfuls of peas or shelled beans and a little turnip on hand. Put into a kettle sufficient boiling water to make the required amount of soup for Four family. Into the kettle slice one or two onions, two or three carrots and a few more raw potatoes if needed.i Cook until tender, add the left-over' vegetables, gravy. and some salt,' pepper too if liked, and boil up, then use a wire potato masher to reduee the vegetables to a smooth mixture. A pleasing variety of soups may be' had by varying the iarediints/ Tomatoes in any form may be used, even to the rinsings of the catsup tl) tie. Boiled beans, baked beans, squash, I corn, a little cabbage, a bit of parenip,’ celery. macaroni, rice, oatmeal or the left-over meat, pie (crust and all)‘ may all be utilized in this way. Celery makes a most delicious soup. The celery itself may be used; or crushed, dried leaves. or celery salt can be used for fuvoring. When a streight vegei table soup is made, add milk or a lit- tle cream. to give the desired rislness. Lacking these, butter' or a little good cooking oil may be used. A delicate soup fer children and in- valids it made this: Pat one quart of chicken broth cve‘. thd fire, wash two hearing;- teaaroottfuls of rise and add it to the broth. Cook slowly for half an hour, thicken with a table- spoonful of butter and two of flour rubbed to a paste. Add a pint of new milk which has been scolded.

I One woman brought five varieties} iof cake. We knew her to be a re- ?markable cake baker and therefore iexpecbed her to bring cakes; but we l were totally unprepared for her novel ,way of selling them. She erected a :small booth, in which she displayed ', her wares, and sold slices of her cakes iwith the accompanying recipe, at ten i cents a slice. . Instruct the families taking part to) plan their contributions so that they will bring in as much money as poa- sible. You an arrange to keep track of each donatioc and to offer a prize for the family adding most to the evening's fund. When our committee arranged such an affair, we told the people that they could bring any saleable commodity that they desired and could dispose of it in as unique a manner as they wish- ed. The sale was held in the gym- nasium of the consolidated school, a large room, and there certaian was a varied list of articles to choose from, Another woman made pretty and unusual aprons, and not only offered them for sale, but also sold patterns of any style desired. i, Another family sold popcorn in ‘various forms-on the ear, shelled, _ ready to pop, specially picked-out ears [for seed corn, or made into popcorn .balls and eraekeriaek. A girl who had learned to make the' new beaded chains, sold some that' she had on hand and also placed on sale a number of home-made looms. Then she further demonstrated her ability to add funds to her account by giving lessons to anyone who wish- ed to learn the art. A rural canvas‘ser ,for magazine; subscriptions made arrangements with several publishing firms to ex- hibit copies of their publications and to furnish the clubbing rates that these firms made. The commission from her sales made her a contestant for the prize. One man, who made up all the cane' of the district into sorghum, ran I candy table. His family united their efforts with his, and together they made several kinds of candy. They assured us that it was a truly local product, from the cane seed to the finished candy. Mince-meat was another specialty offered. The exact recipe accornpan- ied the jars or the delicious pies which found a ready sale, especially among; the inexperienced housekeep- BABY’S OWN There there was a "specialty troupe" who sold their entertainment to those who wished to be entertained. This brought in a large part of the receipts. One family claimed that their specialty was the accumulation of things they had no further use for. So they conducted an auction booth and found that there were other pec- ple who could use and were willmg to pay for such things as outgrown clothing, household appliances and The Bower fragrant lather of Baby’s Own Soap, is " skin-peeling and so pleasant that five generations of Car diam have adopted it as their Standard toilet end nursery soap.

The dead appearance of fur, " a rule, ispiue simply to the fact that tl is soiled. It never seems to occur to ‘most persons that any but white fur becomes soiled, but it does.
