Cold Storage Architecture, To meet an everâ€"increasing demand for information respecting the con- struction of ice-houses and small cold storage systems for farmers, country Itorekeepers, milk producers, hotel- keepers, owners of country homes and others, the Dominion Department of Agriculture has issued Bulletin No. 49, of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, entitled “Small Cold Stor- ages and Dairy Buildings,” the immeâ€" diate sponsors for which are Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner, and Mr. Joseph Bur- gess, Cold Storage Inspector. The bulletin is a complete handbook on cold storage construction of a comâ€" paratively simple and inexpensive kind. Besides minute explanatory de- tails of plans and material required Three Good Recipes. Peach Popovers.â€"One egg, fill cup with milk, one cupful of flour, oneâ€" fourth teaspoonful of salt. Place in a deep bowl and beat for five minutes with 21 Dover egg beater. Then pour Therefore a portion of meat or a substitute for it, potatoes or their equivalent and one green vegetable, salad, bread and butter and a dessert supply an ideal meal. Sugar and sugars such as are found in the fresh and dried fruits are class- ed as carbohydrates. Succulent vege- tables and salads supply the necessary mineral salts. Fat from the meat, cream in the milk and butter eaten upon bread also perform their mission in the body and are necessary for its upkeep in sup- plying energy and lubrication. Beef, lamb, veal, pork, poultry, fish, cheese and the legumes give one a wide scope when planning the daily balanced menu. Potatoes, rice, hominy and barley furnish carbohydrates or starches. The Ideal Meal. Variety in the making of a menu is as necessary as the food itself. One would soon tire of beef and be unable to partake of a sufiicient amount for nutriment if it were the only protein furnished for thirty days. Composition of Fat. Fats are called hydroearbons. com- posed of carbon united with oxygen and hydrogen. They contain in their composition various fatty acids and glycerine. From decomposed fats the commercial glycerine is obtained. Milk Fats. The minute globules of fat that are suspended in milk give it its clean while color. The proportion of fat in milk varies from tw0 and eight-tenths to eight per cent. This variation is due to the age, condition and feeding Oil of_ cloves, cinnamon, bitter almonds, lemon, patchouli and berga- mot are a few of the best known of the volatile oils. This experiment is dangerous and should be performed only by laboraâ€" tory experts and chemists. It is given here only as an example for a proper explanation. Volatile Oils. ‘ Volatile oiIS, upon reaching the boil- ing point, are transformed into a gas or vapor. For instance, if the es- sential oil of turpentine is heated in a‘ proper vessel by chemists to 300 de-j grees Fahr., it ceases to be a liquid and becomes a gas, which, upon cool-l ing, returns to the liquid form without. loss of volume or weight. I Fats are classified or separated into two distinct classesâ€"fixed and volatile oils. All fats used in the preparaâ€" tion and cooking of food are called fixâ€" ed oils. By this term is meant that little or no evaporation takes place during the process of heating and cooking with the fat. Fixed oils, While they do not evaporate when heated to a high temperature, become dissociated or decomposed; that is, their chemical construction breaks down or separates after the boiling point is reached. Fats and oils form the second class of heat and energy giving foods. One of their functions is to lubricate the intestinal tract. They produce twice as much energy as carbohydrates, and for this reason the people in cold climates consume from two and one-half to three times the amount of fat that persons in warm climates would consume.

If the information herein contained were extensively made use of, not only would much waste be avoided and financial profit accrued, but considerable benefit would be de- rived in health and the enjoyment of life enhanced. Five different plans are given in the bulletin with complete specifications for each and a state- ment of quantities of ice that can be stored. Corn Pudding.â€"One cupful of corn scraped from cob, one cupful of milk, eight tablespoonfuls of flour. Place in a saucepan and blend the corn milk and flour. Bring to a boil and cook for one minute. Cool and add one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of finely cut parsley, oneâ€"quarter tea- spoonful of paprika, one-half tea- spoonful of grated onion, yolk of one egg. Mix thoroughly and fold in the stifi'ly beaten white of one egg and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Pour into a thoroughly greased baking dish and set in a pan of warm water. Bake for t‘Nenty-five minutes. Serve from the dish with cream sauce. Cottonseed Oil. Cottonseed oil to-day is a great im- provement upon the oil of a few years 'ago. The processes are now perfect- ed whereby the oil is produced ab- lsolutely colorless and tasteless. It is an ideal medium for frying or short- iening‘, and it is much preferred to the various kinds of animal fat. Classification of Animal Fats. Beef fat is known as suet. Sheep fat is called tallow. Pig or hog fat is commonly known a: lard. Uncooked fats are called suets. Fat that comes ifrom the cooking of meat, such as :roasting or boiling, is called drippings. Vegetable Fats. ' These embody oils produced, from vegetables, such as corn oil or peanut oil. Corn or peanut oils are particu- larly desirable for cooking purposes because they give a delightful flavor and texture to the cooked food. Other 'vegetable oils are bayberry, tallow from the bayberry, also penny tallow and oil from different grains. into hot popover pans. Bake in a moderate oven for thirtyâ€"five minutes, and fill with crushed and sweetened peaches or other fruit. â€"Fats and Oils. of the cows from which the milk is Iobtained. Olive Oil. Olive oil is the most palatable and easiest of all the oils to digest. The genuine olive oil is almost without flavor. The oil is made in fcur grades. The first pressing from the olives is called virgin oil. The second grade is good and the third fair; the fourth is sometimes known as refuse oil. No- thing can equal olive oil as a cooking 'medium. Animal Fats. Animal fats heated to the boiling point burn or carbonize, thereby show- ing numerous particles (black) in .the fat. This is unfit to use as a cookmg a;ent for food. Milk taken directly from the cow and permitted to stand for a period of time has fat globules on the top- These globules, which are lighter than water, rise to the top and form what is called cream. Cream is wholesome and palatable for the fat it contains. Butter is made from cream by the process of heating or churning. ThlS action causes the little fat globules to break and then to coagulate into a solid mass. unable to build boats as fast as Ger- many can sink them. Some American experts say that there is a short cut to end the war, and that it may be reached by a tre- mendous fleet of aeroplanes. A huge appropriation to build aeroplanes has been passed by Congress, and the short cut will be tried. The Hope of Germany. For Germany there are only two gleams of hope in the skyâ€"the sub- ‘marine and the Russian revolution. ‘The latter has permitted Germany to bring several army corps to the Westâ€" ern front, and to more stubbornly re- The great cloud on her sky, the en- try of the United States to the war, is considered a mere trifling shadow by Germany. She believes the war will be over before the United States has had time to train an effective army, and on this account has really wel- comed the advent of the American nation among her enemies. Some of her statisticians have calculated that Some experts who fear the submar- ine point out that at its present rate of activity it can perhaps starve the people of the British Isles in eighteen months. That is to say the Allied armies have 18 months in which to defeat the German armies, even if the Allies are unable to do anything to check the activity of the divers or are unable to build boats as fast as Ger- .many can sink them. sist the ofi’ensive on this side. It has also permitted the building of new lines of defence behind the present positions, and undoubtedly has en- abled Germany to prolong the war for months. It has given Austria 3 much- needed breathing space, and reports of Austria desiring a separate peace and being about to negotiate one in defi- ance of Germany are no longer heard. The Hope of the Allies. One of the most cheering circum- stances in the war toâ€"day, from the point of view of the Allies,‘is the vir- tual admission by Germany that she cannot win this war with her armies. She says that the submarine is her trump card, and with this card she has undoubtedly taken some import- ant tricks. The German people are told that if they will only hold out the submarines will yet win the war for them, But it is not. Italy has not been able to advance to Trieste; Russia is almost paralyzed. Rumania is over- run; British and French advances for weeks past have been foot by foot, and at some points Germany has been on the offensive. On the Western front we have beaten the best troops Germany could send forward, but it promises to be a long and tedious job to force them out of France and Flanâ€" ders. We ought no longer to count on Russia. Eventually she is likely to come out all right, but only the great- est optimist will expect that powerful and disciplined armies will be evolved in the next few months. With the greatest admiration for the patriotism of Kerensky, and profound respect for the fighting qualities of Russian troops and the brilliancy of Russian leaders, one must count on miracles happening if he continues to count on Russia. gether, imagined that the eiid of the war was in sight. swarmed down on the Hungarian plains.

Writing in the New York Tribune and reviewing the history of the past year, Frank Simonds says that it has been one of profound disappointment for the Allies. A year ago the Italians were making their famous drive that resulted in the taking of Gorizia. A Russian army under Brusilof’f, was menacing Lemberg, and in a month’s campaign had captured about 400,000 of the enemy. The Battle of the Somme had opened with great Brit- ish and French successes. Rumania entered the \war, and her armies The Past Year Has Been One of Deep Disappointment and the End Is Still Distant. THREE YEARS OF THE WORLD WAR WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTS FOR AN ABIDING PEACE?

Takes Three Seconds Longer to Re- volve Than Century Ago. British astronomers declare that the earth is gradually slowing down in the time of its revolution around its axis. That the rate is gradual is shown by their calculation that it now takes exactly three seconds longer for the world to turn on its axis than it took a hundred years ago. A writ- er in “St. Nicholas" comments: “At this rate Shakespeare had nearly ten seconds less in his twenty-four hours than has a modern dramatist. Wil- liam the Conqueror was handicapped. by a half minute in keeping up withhis descendants. Julius Caesar was. a whole minute to the bad.” I have known the “Mysterious Ma- jor" to side slip three thousand feet at a time. He used to skim so close to the Boche trenches that they say the men ducked their heads, and all the time he was pouring six hundred shots 3 minute from his machine gun. I do not think they ever should have sent hinm on such vvork. fie Vvas too valuable alone. The Prussians feared him so much that a price was upon his head. Quickly the machine rose. The Uhlans saw it. I suppose they knew he had not loaded the machine gun again, and they galloped on to the field, firing at him. A Price Upon His Head. He was so low that there was every chance for them to hit his petrol tank or even the major himself. So he went even lower. Straight at the heads of'the horses he drove. The animals, scared at the great, white winged, roaring machine, reared and plunged, throwing some of the riders gto the ground. The others Were too busy with their mounts to shoot straight. The major waved goodby, fired a couple of parting shots from his ser- vice revolver and climbed to where the bullets could not reach him. It was not his fate to die in the air, he thought, but only a few weeks after he told me this story he was killed by a shrapnel burst from an Archie, which wrecked his machine while he was flying with an air patrol. EARTH GRADUALLY SLOWING If he could only get into the air he would feel safe. Once more he twist- ed the propeller. As though nothing had ever been wrong, the engine started to thrum and roar. He leap- ed into the seat. Closer came the hoof beats. The Uhlans rode over a fence and came galloping across the field. A shot punctuated his exhortations to the motor and slit one of the planes. Kept Cavalry at Bay. At last he got a roar from the en- gine that sounded like business, but it petered out. He was forced to glide to earth one day, back of the Prussian lines, with his ’big motor stalled. He leaped out hastily, adjusted a bit of machinery and spun the propellers. A gentle purr, then silence, was the response. Once more he flashed the blades around, with no better result. It wasn't a healthy neighborhood to he in. With a short, crisp oath, the “Mysterious Major" set to work in dead earnest. Down the road to the right of the field a cloud of dust, fly- ing high, appeared. It meant cavalry. The major’s ears caught the sound of hoof beats. It was tradition that he would never be killed in the air, but here he was on earth, with cavalry galloping to- ward him. His descent had probably been spotted and the Uhlans sent to get him. ' One of the most versatile flyers in the corps was the “Mysterious Ma- jor."
