i It is not enough that the child’s ap- tpebite should be wtisfied If you {were engaged in making a cake and .sent your little daughter to bring you {a cup of butter, ‘but instead of bring- ing butter, she would fill the cup with beans, you would be no better off than before sending her. So it is with the child’s appetite. That is Nature's [way of calling for more material with ;which to build a bigger and stronger ‘ebody and it is not a call for food but for nourishment to give strength. It is sometimes advisable to ask your child’s teacher to coâ€"operate with you in regard to the eating habits. It is very essential that children should masticabe their food properly. They should not be allowed to grasp their lunch and go rushing out to play. Does your child do these things? His teadher will be glad to inform you if questioned regarding his habits. Again the children are off to school lwibh a cold lunch, and as this meal is intended to take the place of dinner, we must be very careful and par- ticular that it is as nourishing as it should be. When we adults eat a light noonâ€"day meal we find that the pro- cess of digestion continues, without a feeling of undernourishment; this is especially true during the Winter months when few of us are engaged in hard physical labor. The child's system is different; it is engaged, not bnly in furnishing energy for the healthy young body, but in building bones and muscles for the quick de- velopment of the child's body. A child of school age is not equipped to store energy or nourishment. If he over- eats, the result is a case of indiges- tion and if he does not eat sufficient amount of nourishing foods, it may soon rbe observed in the general weak- ness and stunted growth of his body. If great care is not taken, the chil- dren will soon tire of the more nu- tritious parts of the luncheon. To prevent this, provide a variety; it is also often advisable to almost exclude sweets from the school lunch. If a child dulls its appetite with sweets before touching the rest of the meal, that child would be better off without so much sweets. However, some sort 0! dessert must be provided, 1'but this does not imply that half of the meal must [be dessert. A pleasing and nourishing sweet for school lunch is most any one of the various forms of gelatin puddings that can be quickly and easily made at home. frepnration of the School Luncheon. Do not get the idea that a child’s,f luncheon must be of the light frothy varieties. It should certainly be4 packed as daintin as possible, but it should also be substantial foods. If you expect your child to be strong and healthy there are certain essen- tials which must be put in the lunch box. One of the foremost of these is milk. Most children will enjoy a glass of rich milk at noon, but for those who do not drink milk, tasty dishes should be prepared that use milk in the making. New-Fashioned Notions.

Peel Ripe tomato pickleâ€"Peel and chop sufficient ripe tomatoes to make three pinrts. Add one cupful of finely chop- ped celery, four tablespoonfuls each of chopped onions and chopped red peppers, four tablesp‘oonfuls of salt, six tablespoonfuls each of sugar and mustard seed, half a teaspoonful each of cloves and cinnamon, one teaspoon- ful of grated nutmeg, three-quarters of a teaspoonful of ground all~spice and two cupfuls of tarragon vinegar. Mix thoroughly, put into a stone crock‘ and cover. This pickle must stand for a week before using, but it will keep} for Six months. I Green tomato mangoesâ€"â€"Cut al small cube from the stem end of each: green tomato and with a knife re- move the hard centre. (Sometimes an apple corer carefully used will do this, but do not cut through the bottom of the vegetable.) Put the cubes back in place, place the tomatoes in a large bowl and pour over them boilingl salted water (a tablespoonful of salt} to three pints of water), cover and. let stand over night. Remove to fresh cold water; after draining let standl for fifteen minutes, drain and wipe' dry. For fifteen tomatoes pour boil- ing water over two tablespoonfuls of white mustard seed, add a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and let stand for ten minutes. Drain and add two tablespoonfuls of grated horseradish root, four tablespoonfuls of chopped preserved ginger, ion-r tablespoonfuls of chopped seeded raisins, one tea- spoonful of ground cinnamon and half a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. Re- move the cubes from the tomatoes and fill the centre with the spiced mixture. Readjust the cubes, fasten in place, with Wooden toothpicks or tie with string and stick two whole cloves into each tomato. Place in a stone crock and cover with a boiling hot syrup made from one pint of brown sugar to three pints of mild vinegar. longer as to skirt and jacket length. The short bloused jacket is some worn, but the long straight lines of slimness hold high favor. The jacket may match the skirt in color or not as one‘s fancy moves, but a black one be- comes useful and conservative when worn with other dresses and skirts. One sees a good deal of jackets in contrast, as red, biege, sulphur or White embroidered in black. They are good-looking and practical for street wear‘. Tomato preserveâ€"Take ten pounds of green tomatoes, sliced thin, and add six unpeeled lemons, thinly sliced and from which the seeds have been removed. Place in a preserving ket- tle, add one cupful of apple juice and half a pound of shredded candied ginger. Let stand over night and in the morning simmer for thirty min- utes. Add eight pounds of heated granulated sugar and cook down thick, stirring frequently. Store in small jars, as for canned fruit. The Useflil Tomato. Planted First Apple Tree on the Prairies. In Ontario the horticulturists a few years ago, put up a monument to mark the site of the first McIntosh Red ap- ple tree. In Manitoba they reverse ' the process by honoring the man rath- ' er than the tree, and by doing it while the man is still alive. At the recent convocation of Manitoba Agricultural College the portraits of four men who have greatly helped western agricul- ture were hung in the convocation hall and their names inscribed on the col- lege roll of fame. Those honored were 5m. s. A. Bedford. BrigadienGenei-al I Hugh N. Dyer, and Messrs. J. W. Scan- ,lion and A. P. Stevenson, all well I known agriculturists. The last named was honored for his success in fruit growing and as being the one who over forty years ago, planted the first apple tree in Manitoba. In addition to his work in connection with fruit trees, Mr. Stevenson was one of the earliest believers in the work of plant- ‘ing shelter-belts across prairie farms and about the farm buildings, and for over twenty years has been one or the tree-planting promoters of the Do- mi-nion Forestry Branch. When he be- gan, it was generally believed that trees would not grow on the prairies, and much of the progress of the work in the early days was due to Mr. Stevenson’s enthusiasm and to experi- ence gained on his own farm near Morden, Manitoba. “It was the Juke of Wellington.” “Yes, and who came to his assist- ance and helped him to win it?" “A feler named Upgardson Atom."

The youth who can read needs no outside help, either to make himself a highly educated man or a successful man. Tomato butterâ€"Peel ten pounds ef ripe tomatoes and put into a preserv- ing kettle with four pounds of granu- lated sugar, three pounds of chopped, peeled Greening apples, about one quart of cider vinegar, a spice bag containing half an ounce of ginger root and one-quarter of an ounce each of mace blades and whole cloves. Cook together slowly for three hours, stir- ring freque‘ntly and store as for jelly. In making the butter I have found it improved for the average taste by using three-quarters vinegar and one- quarter grape juice. 7_ ’ the vegetables and for five pounds allow two pounds of brown sugar and the juice of a large lemon. Sprinkle a thin layer of the sugar in a shallow agateware‘ pan, spread over the to- matoes and repeat with another layer of sugar and tomatoes, squeezing over them the lemon. Place in a slow oven and cook until the tomatoes have abâ€" sorbed the sugar and look clear. Re- move separately to a clean platter and let dry in the h'ot sun. Sprinkle oc- casionally with granulated sugar while drying. Store when perfectly dry in preserve jars. s?" The Poor édy's Kgys. Grey Nuns’ some retur Lord Byng Receives “a Gift for the Mlssus."

One of these was Scottie MacQueen, a well-known character whose lower leg has been so badly Iacerated by a shell as to be useless. He had after four years' hesitation asked to have it amputated. The operation had been performed, and he was now able to hobble about. He had The rapid reduction in numbers of‘ the antelope has been a matter for grave concern to those interested in1 the conservation of wild life for some years. Unless a success can be made of protection by means of sanctuaries, their extinction is a question of only a few years. It is some time since antelope disappeared from Manitoba; and the Chief Game guardian of Sas-‘ 'katchewan estimates that there are. now only 250 left in that province while, the Chief Game guardian of A1- : berta places the number at 1.000 in Al- berta. For several years the Canadian Na-. tional Parks Branch attempted to breed antelope by capturing and plac- ing them in the Buffalo parks on the prairies, but owing to the shock of capture no success was attained. Af- ter repeated failures it was decided to try the experiment of enclosing a herd . in some area in which they were found to be already feeding. The Nemiskam 5 Park, which was the outcome of the: first experiment, represents the most] successful attempt yet made on this continent to breed antelope in cap- tivity. In the late winter of 1915 it was re- ported that a band of antelope were in danger of starvation near Foremost, Southern Alberta, on account of the; heavy snowfall. Officials of the Parks Branch were despatched to the locali- Three new areas {or the preserva- tion of rare species of wild life have recently been proclaimed National Parks. These are Nemiskam and Wa- waskesy parks in Southern Alberta and Menlssawok park in Saskatche- wan. These reserves, which total an area of 58.5 square miles, have been set aside for the preservation of the Prong-horned antelope, one of the most interesting of all Canadian na- tive species, the only member of a. special family of the ungulmte, or booted animals, now found nowhere else in the world except in Alberta and Saskatchewan and some portions of the United States. New National Parks for Wild Life Preservation. Welling-row and the worst is yet to come men convalescing from Stories of Famous People . time, A lot of advice is being given to Canadians about the planting of nut- bearing trees instead of those useful only for shade. This is good advice, in essence, because it is never profit- able to grow any tree when a better one might be grown: At the same the words of over-enthusiastic friends oi this or that heat-loving tree must be carefuly weighed before em- barking on any considerable planting project in this country. The chief foresters of the difierent provinces or the Director of Forestry at Ottawa 'Ican be relied upon to give disinterest ' ed and expert advice on this subject. ‘There is one tree, however, which ought to be planted much more than it is, namely. the hickory, and prefer- ably, the shagbark hickory, This tree is native to the southern parts of On- ' tario and Quebec, and would undoubt~ ed‘iy grow well outside of its present range in these provinces, and also in large parts of the Maritime Provinces and British Columbia. Its nuts are edible, some strains or varieties pro- ducing better nuts than others, but ‘the planting oi‘. shagbark hickory is :advocated chiefly because it is one o! the strongest woods in Canada and be- Icause it is rapidly disappearing. One point in favor of the hickory is that young trees taken out of the planta~ tion in thinning, even when very small, can be disposed of to advant- age for tool handles and vehicle parts. Thus a considerable revenue comes in to the owner while he is waiting for l the main crop to become ready to har- vest. The announcement or the governor generals approaching visit brought trepidation as well as joy. There was vivid fear in the hearts of the auth- orities that Scottie might “pull off" something not quite conventional; and this fear, as it proved, was not imagin- ary at all. Scottie was somewhat less punctilious than the members of the Women’s Canadian Club, most of whom spent hours learning the cur- tesy in anticipation of the reception to Lady Byng. When it came Seattle’s turn to shake hands. he greeted the ex-O. C. of the C. E F. with the best Rotar'lan cheerfulness, and handed him a tearfully and wonderfully made bead bag with the words, “Give that to the missus, maybe she could do with it!" 145 and no sign of disease has yet :11» peared. The two other parks recently creat- ed contain no antelope but it is expect- ed they will be stocked in the near future. The name Wawaskesy is Cree In- dian for “Antelope.” while Menissa- wok means "common or national pro- perty,” the nearest Indian expression to national park. Plant Shagbark Hickory. 75V!
