Home economists of the Con- sumer Section. Canadian Depart- ment. of Agriculture. describe it as the "aristocrat of vegetables and offer an easy-to-make recipe for eggplant casserole.

To make: Dice and pre-cook eggplant for five minutes. then place in casserold. Add a can of heated cream of mushroom soup

to which a little chopped onion has been added. Sprinkle with grated cheese. For extra flavour,

tomato slices can be arranged on top of the cheese. Then the whole ls topped with buttered crumbs.

Bake in a moderate oven of 350 degrees Fahrenheit until tender (about 30 minutes).

Another suggestion from the Department: Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, scoop out a por- tion of the centre and fill the shell with a tasty stuffing such as creamed meat or vegetables Bake in a moderately hot oven of 3'15 degrees Fahrenheit until egg- plant is tender tabout 30 minutes).

For frying: Peel and out egg- plant into half-inch slices. Dip into egg and crumbs and saute in a small amount of fat until tender and brown-this takes' approxim- ately eight minutes.

Suggestions for Fish

The Fisheries Department of- fers this recipe for salmon salad: one pound canned salmon; one ':up celery, coarsely sliced; one- third cup thin cucumber slices; three-quarters cup mayonnaise; four teaspoons vinegar; two to three teaspoons prepared horse- radish; eight drops Worcester- shire sauce; two tablespoons :hopped green pepper: one-haul! teaspoon finely chopped onion; six to eight large. ripe. fzrm tomatoes; crisp salad greens.

A fisheries department publica- tion says Canada's Fisheries Re- search Board is making additional use of the voluntary fish-tasting panel in Vancouver. The latter originally was formed to evaluate the results of experiments on the freezing versus icing of fish stowed aboard a fishing vessel. On one occasion it was used when a cannery desired to ascertain the taste appeal of its new type of canned smoked fish.

Eggs

The Poultry Products Institute of Canada recommends that wise housewives compare prices when buying eggs. Grade A Peewee. Small and Mledlum-size eggs should be plentiful for the next two or three months. it says. And if the price differential between them and Grade A Large is suf- ficient than it would be more economical to buy the smaller eggs. V

ELLEll'8 DIARY .

By an Island Farmer's Wife t line

' In J In.

I ' . strangely b breeze-tickled morning, we put on our "other" gown and came with Jeanie to the city to a spell, or shopping there . . . After the lads were in school, and so that they might not return somewhat ions- ly to this empty place. resolving to bs,back in time to pick them up

the day.

Gage and his enzlslnl young classmates have graduated by this to the second book of the ser- lea for that Grade. And as they did too, wclsuspect, the first Test he "wrote" proved to bring him neat honors. "You'll never guessl" he said. appearing all smiles at the doorway that afternoon from school. "But" his eyes were ques- tioning. ”would you know what a one and two 0's stand for?" "Not a hundredl" we exclaimed. "Yes" he nodded. quickly opening the book to display the magical num- ber. "there it is!" Then in a grave grown-up voice "Won't Mother be pleasedl That" he added, "is what Jamie said when he saw it."

How this fellow. presently in our care, continues to follow the example of his five year older brother! At mealtime. when un- decided about some dish a glance across to Jamleis plate . . . takes or leaves accordingly: "ls Jamie wearing a sweater today? Then I am-or not" according to circumstances prevailing. While we often admire this imitation which after all is a sincere sort of approval. we notice its inconven- ience when Jamie sits down to read his lesson aloud while just around the corner of our apron the younger chap loudly is into his!

THERAPEUTIC DIEWATITIS - OVERTBEATMENT OF SKIN CONDITIONS

so many of us think of the skin as simply a covering for all the other tissues of the body, forgetting that the skin is an organ of the body. Just as are the heart, liver. lungs and other organs. It controls body temperature. breathes and re- moves wastes. It is because we think of the skin I! Just a cover- ing that when my skin irritation or inflainmsti n occurs, many think that some simple form of treatment must be given. If the irritation or inflammation lasts more than a day or two. they think further treat- ment is necessary and it. is this "further" treatment that often causes more irritation or inflam- mation, and a skin ailment, that should last only a. few hours or days. 'persists for weeks or months. When this prolongation of symp- toms occurs due to this extra ther- apy (treatment) it is then called therapeutic dermatitis - inflam- mation of the derma or skin - overtreatment dermatitis.

In New England Journal of Medi- olne. Boston. Dr. C. G. Lane states that overtreatment of the skin is becoming a major probem ,as com- paratively few such conditions are due to the first or original irrit- ant. that is. those substances that would produce an eruption when coming in contact with the skin. but are generally due to sensitiz- ation (allergy).

In one series of cases of thera- peutic dermatitis that was reviewed before the discovery of penicillin, 70 per cent were caused by the sulfa drugs. 10 per cent by mercury, and the other 20 per cent by unknown substances. In another series. 35 per cent were caused by sulfa drugs. This is the reason that the sulfa drugs are not applied as much dir- ectly to the skin as formerly. Sulfa drugs. like penicillin. may be use- ful in preventing skin ailments but not in curing them.

"The majority of cases of "nth-, letcs foot” (ringworm of the feet) are complicated by substances ap-1 plied to remedy the first or orig- inal condition. Whereas the normal skin withstands ordinary chemical contacts. a skin stripped of its protective layers, particularly a skin already inflamed by . chemical agents. is easily irritated." Thera- poutic dermatitis often results also when chemicals are applied for small scratches. cuts, or burns. be- cause of the natural eagerness to prevent infection.

The thought then is that over- trcatment of a skin irritation or inflammation is the commonest Cause of prolonging these skin con- ditlons.

A museum contained an immense collection of Indian relics. one giddy feminine member in a party of tourists pointed to a large dec- orated skull in one of the show cases. and asked the guide if he knew whose skull it was.

The guide evidently tired of ans- wering an endless chain of foolish questions replied: "That is the skull of the Emperor Montezuma.

"And," persisted the tourist point- ing to a smaller skull in an adjoin- ing case. "who was that?"

"That, madam," replied the guide with a perfectly straight face. "is the skull of Montezuma when he was a little boy."
