"Come!" Granddaughter called us from the sitting-rooiii to the Kitchen this afternoon. "Come quickly!" Ihe begged. a twinkle in her voice. "You have company-a distinguish- ed guest!"

And we put aside the niiiien of sheep's gray we had been knitting for James and came at once in response to her call. "licre he is!" she chuckled happilv. And there enjoying with her and Mack our surprise. dark eyes sparkling, cheeks rosy from the out. of doors, was . . .

"It's Gage!" Mack sniilcd front the couch beside him "Did you expect to see some big strange man?" It was Gage. looking ill and happy. He had ridden to Alder- lea on one of the loads of wood that .lames had been i'ci'rynig lrom the woodlands wiili the brown mare and sleigh in afternoon-trips. lie could stay only briefly in this after- school period, Villh the inglit-siia- down already tiiiit-hing gcntly the hills.

Lowering Polio Riskl

P0l.l0 is not, as many of you probably hclicvc, strictly a warm weather discasc.

It's true that the greatest num- ber of cases occur from a period beginning about the last week in June and ending the third week in November. But it is also true that cases are reported throughout the year. and that severe cases of par- alytic polio occur many times in places where temperatures are well below zero.

Now, what can you do to avoid polio? I think I can best. answer

Precautions to Take

There arc, liowcicr, precautions you can takc in twin keep your child and yourself from contracting the disease during an epidemic.

Don't become overly tired. If you are attacked by polio, only a deli- catc balance exists between the iirus anti the body's ability to cum- ,bat it. If you are unduly tircd. ynii don't give your body the proper chance to fight off the attack. Heavy icxcrtion in the early stages of the tiiscaso is likely in result in more severe and extensive paralysis.

Do not bcconie chilled. This also seems to lower your resistance to the virus once it has entered your body.

Avoid mouth or throat opera- ions during it polio outbreak. The serious hulbar type of polio occurs more frequently in persons who have had their tonsils removed during or immediately preceding a polio epidemic. Such operations ap- parcnily make it easier for the virus to enter the brain through ex-

posed nerves leading from your throat. Ker-p your hands clean. Your

hands may carry the polio virus to your mouth. Caution your child not to taste another child's lolly-pop. ice cream cone or other food.

Timely Suggestions from Canada's Kitchen

By Consumer Section Market- ing service, Canada Department of A;'cIiltun

Did you knonPt.hat. eggs Are one bf our moat vnluablo toads! They are considered valusble. not only from the standpoint of food value, but. for economical relaonl It well. with eggs so plentiful and lo ree- sonably priced an the market to- day, the budget-win homemaker will do well to feature one regular- ly on her menu. Eggs may not be me answer to every meal problem but they certainly come close to it. They can be used in some way in almost every course and in al- most. every meal. They not only taste good. but they are easy to cock as well. The home economist: of the Consumer Section. Canada Department of Agriculture suggest some ideas .for egg dishes to satisfy January appetites.

It is a well known fact. that a. breakfast containing protein is a satisfying one and makes one feel better and less tired after a long morning's work. Eggs can highlight breakfast these winter days and there are ways to cook them that will please everyone in the family. Breakfast eggs can be served soft, medium or hard cooked. ahirred. poached. scrambled or fried. For Sunday Morning breakfast, French toast or a fluffy omelet served with crisp bacon adds variety.

Eggs can be a great help in planning lunches or suppers. Egg sandwiches go well with a piping hot bowl of soup and, if there is a young cowboy in the family, be sure to serve him western sand- Wlches now and then. To mske the filling. chop some onion, green pep- per and ham and add to a well- bezitcn egg with a little milk and salt and pepper. Cook in a greased pail until egg :5 set on both sides. Hard cooked eggs may be sliced or devillcd and used to garnish salads or luncheon dishes. War- or omelets served with saus- ages or bacon are other suggestions for'iunch. Then. for a party lunch- eon, try cheese souffle.

Eggs may be baked and used in various casserole dlahea. Try them in a medium thick cream uuce. cheese or tomato sauce seasoned with onion or a little curry. Pour it into a greased casserole and let. stand a few minutes until depres- sion: can be made in it. with a spoon. Now break the whole eggs into the depressions and top with buttered crumbs. Bake this in a moderate oven just; long enough to allow the eggs to become firm.

Now we canot forget. egg clea- serta such as custard with all its variations. One of the most inter- esting ones is Floating Island and children love it. Instead of putting the egg whites into the custard it- self, whip them up separately and add sugar to make a meringue. Put this topping on the cooked cust- nrd and brown in a moderately slow oven.

There are many other delicious desserts made with eggs such as

t'li0PPed,imir whips. eclaira and cream puffs backtracking,

with rich cream or custard fillings. We must remember. too, the great variety of plea which may be made with ii custard filling as s hue. Lemon pie is always popular but variety use the same filling recipe for lemon tarts and top with a soft meringue.

Baked Alaska is, one dessert that liomemnliers are often afraid to try. To make one place a brick of ice ercam on It layer of sponge cake cut -about an inch wider and an inch longer than the ice cream. Then prepare a meringue by heat- ing egg whites and gradually ad- ding sugar. Now cover the ice cream evenly with the meringue making sure that there is no ice cream showing. Bake on in bond in a hot oven 450”F., until the meringue is slightly brown, aboilt. two or three minutes.

With eggs so plentiful. it. is a good chance to make more of those delicious feathery-light sponge, angel or chiffon cakes. L-.-it-over egg yolks may be used in a gold cake or sponge cake. A standard white cake may be topped with one of those fluffy egg-white frostlnga. For afternoon tea. place meringue: and macaroons -made with egg whites high on the list and. when making cookies for hungry young- sters. choose A recipe containing whole fresh eggs.

Toned Girdle Muscles Have Bearing On Health And Beauty

3: Ida Jean

Regardless of your weight, the most important muscles to keep toned are those that. form the ab- dominal glrdle. These middle mus- cle: not only play the important role in figure coiltrol. but exert a vital launches on health.

Think of muscle tone as elasticity. Live tone in abdominal muscles sup- ports the vital organs and holds them in their normal high position. Health is not hr. the muscle but in the support given the vital organs enabling them to function smooth- ly and efficiently.

Modern daily living fails to pro- vlde the exercise needed to keep these muscles sufficiently strong - the way nature intended them to be. It takes only a small amount of exercise to maintain muscle tone. Dally conditioners. backed up by good posture. can keep the mus- cular girdle in prime condition for I lifetime.

The first exercise helps to re- store the vital organs to their right- ful position.

Kill!

Position: Lie on back. knees bent. soles of feet flat on floor. arms down at side.

Movement: Raise hips to straight line and fling arms back on floor. Pull in strongly with abdominal muscles and -o-I-d. Release and return to starting position. Repeat if times. increasing the holding per- iod. Cautlon: Do not raise hips high- er than a straight line. Small of back should not be arched.
