Drain off the vinegar, heat it again, add a tablespoonful of curry powder, boil up once, pour over the pickles, and when they are cold put them in small jars and seal. Not good to eat under a month. : Chili Sauce.--Peel twelve large, ripe tomatoes and four good sized onions ; seed two green peppers and chop all together until fine. Put them in a saucepan and stir into them two teaspoonfuls each of ground allspice, cloves, and cinna- mon, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of ground ginger, and a quart of vinegar. Boil stead- ily for two hours and when cool bot- tle and seal. Tomato Catsup/--Boil ethet and six large onions, press trough a colander, and strain the liquid that comes from them. Put this over the stoves with a dozen sprigs of parsley, two bay leaves, and a half teaspoonful of grated garlic, a tablespoonful each of ground cloves, mace, black pepper, salt, and sugar, a scant teaspoonful of cayenne pepper and a tablespoonful of celery seed tied up in a bit of cheesecloth or gauze. Cook five hours, stirring frequently and watching that the mixture does not scorch. By the end of the time it should be reduced to half the orig- inal quantity and thick.

Bake in a dripping pan; sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts before baking. Chicken Fricasse.--A tough, lean, old chicken can be bought cheaply at any time, and treated this way is as attractive and tasty and ten- der as a more expensive one: Cut up into the usual joint pieces and mince half-pound salt pork and two small onions. Put a layer of the minced pork in the bottom of kettle, then a layer of the cut up chicken, then a layer of onion, and repeat till material is all in the kettle. Set this on the stove to simmer until tender, which may take three hours or more, .without any water, as the onion and pork will soon furnish moisture enough to keep the meat from burning. When tender add salt and pepper to taste. Add water and flour #$o make gravy. Nut Molasses Cookies.--One-half cup butter, one-half cup sugar, one cup molasses, two teaspoonfuls warm water, two and one-half cups bread flour, one teaspoon ginger, two teaspoons cinnamon, one tea- spoon soda, one teaspoon salt, one- half cup nut meats, enough more flour to make a stiff mixture. Drop from teaspoon and bake fifteen min- utes. Home Hints. - Satin, after washing, will retain its gloss if a little borax is put into the last rinsing water. A little turpentine put into the water for washing windows or mir- rors is an excellent method. To soften brown sugar when it has become lumpy, stand it over a vessel filled with boiling water. Brown bread, instead of _white, when making bread pudding, gives a most unusual and delicious taste. Mildew is obstinate and difficult to remove. If lemon and salt or javelle water do not remove it, no- thing will. When plants droop, try adding a teaspoonful of ammonia to three quarts of water and water the plants fully. ; ; Any chance of tins rusting is prevented by placing them near the heat for a little while after they have been washed. Fine linens and all pieces of handsome lingerie should be wrung out by hand and never through a wringer. Sweet oil will remove finger marks from varnished furniture. Kerosene on waxed or oiled furni- ture gives better results. If a cork is too large for a bottle in which you wish to use it, lay it on its side and with a little board or ruler roll it under all the pres- sure you can put it. It will be elongated to fit in a very few min- utes. When washing new curtains you will generally find that they are full of lime. A great deal of trouble may be saved by soaking the cur- tains over-night in water, in which a little salt has been dissolved. The salt draws out the lime and makes the curtains easy to wash. When the coal-oil lamp has a tendency to smell badly, saturate the wick with good vinegar and allow it to dry perfectly before put- ting it into the lamp. It will never smell, no matter how small the flame. This is a good way to clean car- pet. Get one ounce of wormwood salt from the druggist; put it into a pail of warm water; then wash your carpet as you would the floors, or, if very dirty, scrub it. When finished, all the dirt and grease spots have disappeared and the car- pets looks like new. When the travelling bag becomes dirty, wash it all over with tepid water and a little soap. After it is dry, put a little oxalic acid in a cup of hot water and wipe the bag well with a soft cloth dipped in acid. When dry, brush the bag with the white of an egg and it will look fresh and new. ; A very good plan to clean knives without putting the handles in wa- ter is as follows: Have handy a jug or vessel with soda water, and as soon as possible after the knives have been used stick the blades in the soda water, leaving the handles on the outside. This will cleanse and quickly remove stain and rust. % WHERE TO EAT AT TORONTO EXHIBITION.

Fe Highland Blood. Lord Strathcona is blessed with a remarkable constitution, for, in spite of his advanced age, he is as well able to get through a day's work as any man in his prime. It is several decades since he entered the employment of the Hudson Bay Company, and he has rendered val- uable service to the country that brought him wealth. As a patriotic Scotsman, he re- calls with a chuckle an incident which he witnessed in his early days. A fellow Scotsman, who was working with him on the same sta- tion, produced a set of bagpipes 2nd commenced playing "The Highland Laddie."" The Indians and : Esquimaux who gathered round were delighted with the per- formance, and expressed their joy in their customary fashion. A dis- Lord Strathcona. cussion afterwards arose. as to whe- ther the Esquimaux were of Ice- landic or Mongolian extraction. "Hoot, mon, ye're a' wrang," exclaimed the enthusiastic piper. "Did ye no see the chirls this morn- ing whilst I was twirlin' the pipes? I've nae doot--nae doot ava-- they've true Hieland blud in their veins!" WOMEN NEED A SAFE TONIC And There is Nothing Better Than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for = sgaoning Up the Blood It is said that woman's work is never done, and that it is a fact that whether in society or in the home her life is filled with more cares and more worries than falls to the lot of man. For this reason women are compelled regretfully to watch the growing pallor of their cheeks; the coming of wrinkles and the thinness that becomes more dis- tressing every day. Every woman knows that ill-health and worry is a fatal enemy to beauty, and that good health gives the plainest face an enduring attractiveness. What women fail to realize is the fact that if the blood supply is kept rich and pure, the day of the com- ing of wrinkles and pallor, dull eyes and sharp headaches, is im- measurably postponed. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are literally worth their weight in gold to growing girls and women of mature years. They fill the veins with the rich, red blood that brings brightness to the eve, the glow of health to sal- low cheeks, and charms away the headaches and backaches, that ren- der the lives of so many women constantly miserable. Mrs. William Jones, Crow Lake, Ont., says: "I feel that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills saved my life. I was so badly run down that I could hardly drag myself around. I was so bloodless that I was as pale as a sheet, and you could almost see through my hands. In fact the doctor told me my blood had all turned to water. I was taking medicine constantly, but without benefit. My mother had so much faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that she bought me two boxes and urged me to take them. How thankful I am that I followed her advice, Before these were gone I began to feel better, and I contin- ved using the Pills until I had taken five more boxes when I was again enjoying the blessing of per- fect health, with a good color in my face, a good appetite, and I feel sure a new lease of life. I will al- ways, you may be sure, be a warm friend of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." If you are weak or ailing begin to cure yourself to-day with the rich red blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make. If you do not find the Pills at your dealer's send 50 cents for a box or $2.50 far six boxes to the Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont., and they will b = you by mail, post paid.

A tourist in the train or a visitor to any city or towa from coast to coast if he has his eyes open is sure to be impressed with the number of faces he sees that plainly show foreign birth. This continent has hecome the great melting pot of the nations and the Government reports show that representatives of ninety different nations gettled in Can. ada in 1912. In that year the number who came from the British Isles was 145,859 and from the United States 140,143, the first time on record when the British im- migrants outnumbered those from the United States. : Industrial Progress. The report of the census of 1911 dealing with the manufactures of Canada during the year 1910 has just been issued, and is a striking proof of the advance this coun. try has made along industrial lines. Com- pared with the census of 1901, which gave the figures for 1900, there has been an in- crease in the ten years of 4,568 in the num- ber of working establishments, of $800, 667,122 in the capital invested, of 176,930 in the number of persons employed, of $127,759,066 in salaries and wages, and of $684,922,264 in value of products. Shrinkage In Building Operations. Building permits in Canada for the seven months of the present year have showed a decrease of eight per cent. over those for the same period last year. This decrease has been due chiefly to Quebec and the West. In Ontario .and the Mari- time Provinces large increases have been recorded. The amount of money expend- ed this year on buildings in Ontario shows an increase of 38 per cent. in the Mari- time Provinces an increase of 87 per cent., in Quebec a decrease of 4 per cent. In British Columbia a decrease of 77 per cent., in Alberta a decrease of 23 per cent., in Saskatchewan a decrease of 63 per cent. and in Manitoba a decrease of 51 per cent. With only three exceptions, North Battle- ford, Medicine Hat, and Nelson, the west~ ern cities are very much behind their re- cords in 1912. For the month of July, this year, the general decrease is 26 per cent. r 3 z7 F Cood Roads and Country Life. The public improvement most needed to- day is the improvement of our roads, and there is reason for optimiem. Persistent appeals accumulate effect, but better than a century of propaganda is the spread of the automobile and the motorcycle. It is the possession of these for practical use and pleasure that is forcing the good roads movement. And together they will still further transform the conditions of rural life. They will take up what the telephone and the trolley began and give to life in the country new social resources. Isolation is passing completely 'from the country, and with its departure one of the profoundest social and economic changes in the history of the country will take place. : Forests to be Safeguarded. Arising out of the reorganization of the Forestry Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands, Forests and Mines, it is understood that an important move 1s shortly to be taken by the Government to mote adequately safeguard the forest wealth of Ontario. Prof. E. Z. Zavitz, Forestry Commissioner, has been com- missioned by Hon. W. H. Hearst to study the whole question and report with a re- commendation of a plan to be adopted. It is likely that when the Legislature meets next session a comprehensive pro- gramme will be laid before the House. The fire-protection programme will co-ordinate with the reforestation scheme now under way. Not only is the fireranging force to be maintained and strengthened, but it, is stated that fire belts will. be cut through the most valuable stretches of pine forest, a more efficient patrol will be kept up, and severe prosecution of those who violate the forest regulations. The fire belts, it is hoped, will prove a buffer, and where a fire starts to spread it will strike thege belts and stop for lack of com- bustible material. Thousands of Hindus to Come to Canada. Secret reports that have reached the Department of Immigration at Ottawa of a scheme on foot to bring thousands of Hindu§ to Canada by a direct line of eteamers from Calcutta to Vancouver are causing the officials considerable concern. One rumor has it that a co-operative scheme, embracing one hundred thousand Hindus, will shortly be launched. Pro- tests have already been received from the Pacific Coast, and it is reported that a special officer will be sent to London to make representations to the India Office. Hitherto it has been possible to pre- vent an influx by the order in council which stipulates that immigrants must come by direct passage from the land of their birth. Another clause that may be used, and has been used in similar cases, is the one prohibiting the immigration of persons belonging to a race deem unsuit- ed to the climate or requirements of Can- ada, but the Hindus have waged a cam- paign against this barrier, and point to their brethren now in good health and comfortable circumstances in British Col- umbia. Hindu women and children are said to be included in the new coloniza- tion scheme. If despite warnings the Hindus attempt to land in Canada a serious situation will develop for feeling among the white pop- ulation in British Columbia is yery strong. Despatches from the Canadian Pacific coast eay that white farmers are already clamoring for similar laws in British Col- umbia to those recently passed in Cali- fornia, and against which Japan so strongly protested. 0il Fuel for the Royal Navy. . When Mr. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, announced that oil will supplement coal in the case of large as well as small ships of war, he called at- tention to another of the long series of changes that have revolutionized ocean transportation. This last is by no means the least, for the use of oil will bring Powder as being the best, purest and most healthful baking pow- der that it is possible to produce, ~~ CONTAINS NO ALUM All ingredients are Plainly printed MAGIC BAKING POWDER -- » We unhesitatingly recommend Magic Baking EEEHIIRHnrrTE on the labe AMIN \ a Naa with it not only increased speed, but a much, larger radius of action and easier and faster replenishment. The admiralty has not, however, come to this momentous decision without full assurance that it ie justified. For more than a hundred de- stroyers are built or under construction' dependent entirely on oil fuel, and the experiment of building a division of fast battleships and battle cruisers and a num- ber of light cruisers burning oil fuel only, Mr. Churchill affirmed, has proved suc- cessful. Coal, however, will not be entirely abandoned, because, as the first lord ex- plained, oil is only required in large ships when an exceptional speed has to be reached with a vessel of exceptional quality. Whatever may ultimately hap- pen, coal will continue to be the main ba< sis of British sea power in line of battle at: present. But the stake in oil ships is already so important that Britain must have the certainty of a steady supply of oil at a steady price and the admiralty! recognizes that it must become the in- dependent owner and producer of its sup- plies. In Britain itself are great poten tialities, since the Scottish shale deposits alone, if developed, can yield between 400,« 000 and 500,000 tons a year for 150 years. The problem, remarked Mr. Churchill, is not one of Snaniliy, bug of price. CONSUMPTION OF CANINES. Eating of Dog Flesh is Increasing in Germany. The consumption of dog meat as a food in Germany, probably as a result of high meat prices, increas- ed greatly in 1912. Every year since 1907 has shown a considerable gain, but the 1912 figures are strik- ing. Against 1911, in which year the number of dogs slaughtered under official inspection was 6,553, the total for 1912 rose by 1,570 to 8,132. These figures, moreover, are but a small fraction of the total con- sumption of dog flesh, for a major- ity &f the animals are slaughtered e without the formality of an ins 'Saxony remains, as always, the chief center for dog slaughtering, recording 4,288 dogs killed as against 3,540 in 1911. Prussia, how- ever, is in second place with 2,630 in 1912, as against 1,917 in the pre ceding year. Ld AN OLD NURSE. Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum. : An old faithful nurse and an ex- perienced doctor are a pretty] strong combination in favor o Postum, instead of tea and coffee.! The doctor said: ; "I began to drink Postum five years ago on the advice of an old nurse. "During an unusually busy win- ter, between tea, coffee and over- work, I became a victim of insom- nia. In a month after beginning Postum, in place of tea and coffee, I could eat anything and sleep as soundly as a baby. ; "In three months I had gained +twenty pounds in weight. I now use Postum altogether instead of tea -and coffee; even at bedtime with a soda cracker or some other tasty biscuit. : '"'Having a little tendency to Diabetes I used a small quantity, of saccharine instead of sugar, to. sweeten with. I may add that to-! day tea or coffee are never present in our house and very many pa- tients, on my advice, have adopted Postum as their regular beverage. "In conclusion I can assure any- one that, as a refreshing, nourish- ing and nerve-strengthening bever- age, there is nothing equal to Postum."' Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Write for booklet, 'The Road to Wellville."" Postum comes in two forms. Regular (must be boiled). Instant Postum doesn't require boiling but 1s prepared instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more, and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and tem- per it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate, and have it served that way in the future, "There's a Reason' for Postum.]|
