Arriving at the Stouffville farm on Thursday las^t, the 2-year-old Bereford. contrary to the popular eoneeiption of the ferocious bull, is as docile and contented es Ferdinand.

McTavish Gorage Flesherton, Ont. -^^ OLD DAYS Ladies wore bustles. Monday wa» washday. Nobody swatted *he fly. Nobody had appendicitis- There was no traffic cop. Everybody played croquet. There were no Bolsheviks. Men sported wiry whiskert. Cream was five cents a pint. Nobody worked but father. Ice cream was "iced" cream- Nobody was ashamed to walk- Boys' shoes were copper toed- Saturday night wa's bath night. No one was fined for speeding- Vitamin gauges were unknown. Widow's weeds weren't cigarettes- Only small boys wore short pants. Nobody wafe told, "The line is busy!" The livery stable was the social circle Women, nor men either, played golf. Farmers came to town for their mail- Chickens all went to roost at sun- down- Beer was 5 cents a glasb, including lunch- Nobody cared for the price of gas- oline. The sheiks all lived in Arabia or Turkey. Shows in the Town Hall came only so often- Paper and celluloid collars were pop- ular. Food stuffs came in bulk, not in packages. Women wore bathing dresses, not undresses. Candies for the girl cost her fellow 15c a bag- School teacheA "licked" pupils good end plenty. The boyish form was displayed only by the boy- Ladies used side saddles, not the whole road. A girl was mostly bi^tle behind, not bustle ahead- Statistics were merely a mathemat- ical study at adiool. They were days mostly â€" everything over at 10 p-m. Everybody went to chordi â€" ar to sleep on Sunday- Girb set their caps â€" ^not their knee- caps for a man. Oyster »ui>per8 and church socials were 2B>o a throw. Moving pictures ha|)(pened only at housecleaning time. Females all wore corsetis â€" at least we think they did- The hired girl drew fl-SO a, week and did the washing- They bobbed your hair only after they got you in jail- The melodeon â€" not the radio â€" su'p- plied the family nrusic- The family Bible and family atbum were popular institutions- They didn't have to hire a big husky man to teach boys how to play. The hired man got a dollar a day for 'steen houA â€" and earned it too- Ladies' clubs were the Ladies' Aid, Sewing Circle and the rolling-pin. Milk was delivered into your own pit- cher from the dealer's tin measure- There were no crooners, except Moth- er when she rooked her restl«bs baby to sleep. Women's sIcirtS trailed as much ma- terial below their knees as they don't now above- People used to arilse and retire on the s«me day; now they retire and arise on the same day. Boys weri' Iwys and girls were girl.s. but nowadays mothcr.s and grand- mother^ arc girls also- NORTHERN MOTOR SERVICE Domcatic and Commercial, Split â€" Two and Three Phase, Hlgll Speed and Low Speed Electric Drills.

OWBN SOUND Ph«M TU " BOWL NEW CANADA STAMP ISSUE TO FEATURE PEACE THEMES Hello, Homemakers- Milk pudd- ingfe heve been a great favourite with the men in the armed forces. To one who has always maintained that pie is man's> idea of the penfect dessert, such information is inter- es>ting and encouraging. No wondea: men in the services seldom lost weight. They have been served meals which not only satisfied their appe- tites but which aho supplied plenty of nuitirientsr necessary to keep them fit. Convalescent hospitals are maintaining a high reputation for nutritious meals because they include dishes containing plenty of milk. If men have enjoyed milk pud- dings in army camps and convales- cent hospitals, ten chancer to one they will appreciate such desserts made Mom'si way even more. RICE AND APPLE PUDDING Cook 1 cupful washed rice in 1 quart of milk, u'sing the double boil- er. When tender, add % teaspoonful of s-alt and i tablespoon of butter. Grease a baking dish and into it spread alternate layers of rice and hot applesauce. Bake in a moderate oven 350 degs. P. about 20 minutete and serve warm with cream and sugar. Other fruits may be used In place of the apples if desired. Prune®, apricots, peeches and other kinds of dried or fresh fruit will give very good results. ORANGE SPONGE PUDDING % cup sugar, 4 tbspsp. flour, % tbp. salt, pinch nutmeg, 2 tl>sips. meltcdl shortening, 2 tbsps. lemon juice, % cup or- ange juice, grated rind one or- ange, 2 eggs (separated), 1 cup milk.

Pour into greased custard cups or Individual baking dishes and set in pan of hot water. Bake in an electtric oven^ 860 degte. P., for 80 minutes or until delicately browned. BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING 3 tibepe. coinurtaroh, % cup brown sugar, 2 egig yolks, % cup cold milk, B cope hot milk, 2 tbeps. butter, t ogg whiteb (beaten). Mi t8(p. Tanilla. Mix cornstarch, bugar and a pinch of ealt together. Add egg yolks, slightly beaten with the cold miUc. Heat milk in top of double boiler and add blotter. Stir first mixture into the heated milk gradually, stir- ring constantly until the custard becomes thick and amooith. Cover and let cool itightly. Fold in the stiffly beaten acg whites' and add the vanilla. Pour into pudding mould and chill. TAKB A TH» Stale slioes, dry cnMs< and other leift-overs in the bread box can be used to make sooires of delicioua dishesi â€" yet often go into the gar- bage inbtead. Studies show that bread is the most wasted food in our kitchens. French toast and cheese toast are heaity enough for main dishes. French toa^t is made by dipping slices in a mixture of egg beaten with 2 tbaps. milk and browing on both sides in a little fat in the fry- ing pan. For cheese toast, lay slices of cheese, salted and peppered, between slices ef unbuttered bread. Brown the sandwiches on both sides in fat, cooking slowly until the cheese meltb. Crusts and |bone-dry pieces can make up the supply of bread erumb^ that every good cook likes to have on hand. Dry the bread In a slow oven, then roll it to crumbs or put through food prinder. (Tie n paper hatr over the outlot of chopper to prevent crumbs from spilHnc) Keep crumbs covered and protected from dust and moisture. Aside from the familiar us«>s of crumbs' in coating foods for frying, toi»pinK- u'shes for baking and stuf- fing vegetables or meat, there are bread crumlb specials such as crumb pastry for oream pies, crumb cake, crumb cookies and crumb bread pud- ding. Canadian postage stamps renown- ed and prized throughout the phila- telic world for their color, beauty and exacting design, are due for a change to a peacetime or reconstruc- tion theme from the military motif whioh predominated during the war. A new iseue to replace the current set. whioh depicts ram tankis, cor- vettes and other Canadian-produced war weapons among the higher val- ues, has been predicted for some time and informed sources confirmed that Postmaster General Bertrand will make announcement ot a new set of stamps shortly. Issuance of the new stamps may be accompanied by announcement of a reduction in the domestic letter rate from four to three centb to eliminate the war-induced increase of 1 cent, this reduction was forecast by Mr. Bertrand during the last session of parliament, but, as the increifse waS instituted for taxation purposes, the change may not be announced until the budget is brought down in the House this spring. The new isbue may find the King switching his mode of dress for pos- tal purposes to civilian clothing. The five lower values of the current set â€" one to five cents â€" depict him in various service uniforms, but the new stamps may show a return in the pre-war custom of picturing the sov- ereign in civies.
