The secret of success in successful cooking lies with the housewife who knows food constituents, their value and the proper method of preparing, as well as how to plan a diet for in- valid, child or grown person. Many women read technical terms and become frightened and bewilder- ed. This is very foolish. Just re- member how hard it seemed to do decimals before you mastered them, and how quickly you understood after a little practice. It is just the same way with food terms. Learn the few simple principles and become mis- tress of the finest profession in the worldâ€"become a practical and scientiâ€" fic housewife. The five principal elements of food necessary to maintain the health are: Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, mineral salts, water. Halve, n My“. . Proteins.â€"The source of proteins are meat, milk, cheese, butter, eggs, fish, grains, and legumes. Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and sometimes phosphorus. Containing about sixteen per cent. of mitrogen, their chief use is tissue building, repairing waste and making muscle. They also supply the same amount of heat as starches. Carbollydrates.â€"Their source is in starches and sugars, and they are found chiefly in green vegetables, grains and fruits. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in small granular grains. inâ€" closed in cellulose coverings. Carbo- hydrates are used to supply energy or power to do work.

Vegetable oils are "90 from all disease. Corn oil is superior to all domestic oils, it is the byâ€"pro- duct of corn from which cornstarch is made. In composition fats contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Fats in the body furnish a greater amount of heat than starches. They are used also for building tissue. A large amount of fat must be used during cold weather than in hot weather, for the heat radiating over the surface evaporates more quickly in the cold, 01, in other words, the cold oxidizes Ithis body fuel. our whole position is different, and that we are not one State or nation or- empire, but a whole world by our- selves, consisting of many nations, of many States, and all sorts of comâ€" munities, under one flag. A System of States. “We are a system of States, and not, I think, a stationary system, but la system always going forward to new destinies. Take the position of that system to-day. Here you have the United Kingdom with a number of Crown Colonies. Besides that, you have large Protectorates like Egypt. an Empire by itself. Then you have a igreat Dependency like India, also an "Empire by itself, where civilization lhas existed from time immemorial. iWe are trying to see how East and EWest can work together. These are Lenormous problems; but beyond them iwe come to the so-called Dominions, :almost independent in government :themselves. which have been evolved fon the principle of a European con- stitutional system into almost inde- lpendent States, but who all belong to this community of nations. which I prefer to call ‘the British Common- 'wealth of Nations.’ ‘ ing tissue. They also furnish heat. Starch, by the process of digestion, is converted into a dextrine, and then made into a convert sugar. This change takes place in the intestines. n Mineral Saltsâ€"The source of inor- ganic salts is principally in green vegetables, grains, milk, meats, eggs and fish. The salts found in foods are calcium, iron, chlorine, phos- phorus, magnesium, sodium, sulphur and potassium. Salts are used to re- gulate the body; they are also needed for the formation of bone and teeth structure and appear in tissue build- mg. tor in the blood stream.

Cracks and crevices in old floors may be filled with the time-honored paper pulp, made by boiling newspa- pers to jelly, draining, and mixing with glue. The substance is jammed in with a knife, then painted over. But sawdust, mixed also with glue, is more satisfactory, and saves time.

Looking back over the progress ac- complished in Canada during those years, the many remarkable achieve- ments seem hardly possible. The industries of Canada have pro- gressed step by step as the population increased. Among the older “truly Canadian” firms is The Williams Plano Co., Ltd., of Oshawa, Ont, makers of the famous Williams New Scale Piano. R. S. Williams came from England and established this concern in 1849â€" 68 years ago. Canadians will feel proud to know that they have such a “truly Canadian" pianoâ€"the Williams New Scale, which they can be proud to place in their home. The Williams Piano Co. at Oshawa will he glad to send interesting points concerning the "Artist Choice” piano, free upon re- quest. the United States. There you find what is essentially one nation, not perhaps in the fullest sense, but what is more and more growing into one nation; one big State consisting no doubt of separate parts, but all link- ed up into one big continuous area. The United States had to solve the problem which this presented. and they discovered the federal solutionâ€" a solution which provides subordinate treatment for the subordinate parts, but one national Federal Government and Parliament for the whole. Com- pare with that State the enormous system which is comprised in the Brit- ish Empire. You can see at once that a solution which has been found prac- ticable in the case of the United States will never work in the case of an en- ormous system such as we are trying to work out for the world. Towards a Greater Nationality. “What I feel in regard to all the empires of the past, and even in re- gard to the United States, is that the effort has always been towards forming one nationâ€"always one na- tion. All the empires we have known in the past and that exist toâ€"day are founded on the idea of assimilation, of trying to force human material into one mould. Your whole idea and ba- sis is entirely different. You do not want to standardize the nations of the British Empire; you want to develop them towards a greater nationality. These communities, the offspring of the Mother Country, or territories like my own, which have been annex- ed after the vicissitudes of war, must not be moulded in any one pattern. You want them to develop on the prinâ€" ciple of self-government, and there- fore your whole idea is different from anything that has ever existed before. That is the fundamental fact we have to bear in mindâ€"that this British Commonwealth of nations does not stand for standardization or conven« tionalization, but for the fuller, rich- er, and more various life of all the nations comprised in it. “Even the Ntions which have fought against it. like my own, must feel that their interests, their lan- guage, their religion, are as safe and secure under the British flag as those of the children of your own house- holds and your own blood. It is only in proportion as this is realized you will fulfill the true mission which is yours. Therefore, it seems to me that there is only one solution, and that is a solution supplied by our past traditionsâ€"the traditions of freedom, self-government, and of the fullest development. l The King and the Empire. “The question arises, how are you going to keep this Commonwealth of nations together? If there is to be this enormous development towards a more varied and richer life among the nations, how are you going to keep them together? It seems to me that there are two potent factors that you must rely upon for the fuure. The first is your hereditary kingship. I have seen some speculation recently in the newspapers about the position of the kingship in this countryâ€"spec- ulations by people who, I am sure. have not thought of the wider issues have that afiRe ‘easures. not thought are at stake f Nations 3f the given in N ur You cannot make British Common- captured metallic the Orders. “Eugene,” said Mr. Dixon, “pile the wood in the woodshed on the side next the barn. You’d better do it this morning." Eugene went to the woodshed as his father went off to iivork. He did not object to pilling up wood. He was not at all lazy, and there was nothing in particular to do that morning; so he whistled ‘as he carried the wood in, armful by armful. Then he looked round the shed. “Pile it on the side next the barn,” his father had said. There was no reason at all for that, and it meant more steps; so Eugene piled the wood on the side next the door. He was very painstaking. At noon Mr. Dixon came home in a little electric automobile. He tried to run it into the woodshed, but the wood stuck out several feet and pre- vented him from getting in. “I told you what to do. You should learn to take orders without always knowing why.” But that was just a home episode, and the lesson did not sink deep into {the boy’s consciousness. I “On no account must the hydrogen be lighted until it is certain that all the air in the generator has been drivâ€" en off,” he said to the class. “Collect the gas in small quantities and test it away from your bench.

He was élready throwing the Wood across the shed. He had similar experiences all the way through school. In spite of his good mind and his willingness to work, the teachers found him annoying. It was difficult for him to obey orders exactly; in his own mind he could al- ways see a better way. But he had no serious difficulty until he went into the high school. He was taking his first year's work in chemistry. Dr. Roberts gave them instructions for the arsenic test.

There was only 3 faint “pop” when he had made his test after twelve minutes. “I guess it will be all right now,” he thought. “and I am tired of waiting." He touched a match to the nozzlert; the generator. Something exploded like a bomb. The generator flask was splintered, and the hot acid ran over his hands and burned them like fire, and ate into the sleeves of his coat. “Let the Queen Run bridge work go and compute these," said the clerk, coming in one morning from his office and handing the data to Eugene. Eugene looked them over. They Vsere mere fragments in construction work. He could do the whole thing in two or three hours. At present he was in the midst of the most diffi- cult part of his bridge work. He would finish up the one difficult point, and take up this new piece of work when he came back from luncheon. He finished his computations and went out to luncheon. When he came back at two o’clock, he found the chief clerk, the master mechanic and the chief engineer at his desk. “I was just about to begin them,” he said An unpleasant scene followed. There had been a wreck of one of the flyers, and a viaduct had been so badly shaken up that reinforced concrete must be put in before trains could use it. Meanwhile they were making a detour of twenty miles. The con- struction crew were to go out on a two o’clock special. They were wait- ing for those drafts. “I could have had them done an hour ago, if you had told me they were important.” “I don‘t ask questions!” roared the chief clerk. “I obey orders as they come in, and that is What every man i.. my office will do.” It delayed Eugene’s promotion; it nearly cost him his position.
