One housewife whose oven was small solved the problem of cnok~ ing two pies at t‘~e same time by planing a smaller fin upside down alongside of the first pie. then placing the second pie on this tin. Th9 second pie was raised above ihe other one sbou- an inch and both pies baked well without any trouble.

D0’S AND DOWTS TO AVOID COLD

Advice to Montreaiers as to the danger of colds. flu. bronchitis and such respiratory doubles, ‘s is- sued by Dr. Adelard Groulx. di- rector of the city's Health Depart- ment. as follows:

Avoid physical lock of sleep;

Avoid draughts but secure venti- lation and let sunlwzht penetrate treely. As to heat. 68 degrees is sufficient.

Wear clothes silitéti to the cli- mate. Keep feet v-‘arm.

Have your own towels. tumb- lers, etc. Use them exvclusively.

Do not sweep w'th dry broom or cloth. This may be considered one of the main agents in spread- ing infection.

BlQltht-thfffllflh the nous, not the mouth.

Watch diet. keen mtestines free. take o tdoor exercise. Drink lots of wat .

Keep away from persona suffler- ing affections of the respiratory tract.

Pans that have been lined with frwo thicknesses of heavy paper which have been well greased,

Bake the cakes in a fairly slow oven (275 deg. F.) for about 3% hours for the small size pan-about 4 hours for the medium size pan- and about 4% hours for the large pan. The time given for baking these cakes is approximate, and they should always be carefully tested before they are taken from the oven.

Remove the cakes from the oven when done ,and take from the pans. Leave the paper on them in which they were baked. Allow to become cold. This usually takes several hours. Wrap the thoroughly cooled cakes in several thicknesses.

Now to be at all successful. farm folk are heavy purchasers, ‘Their buyings follow no particular line but range all the way from food and clothing for themselves to the newest and best in grains and concentrates for their flocks and herds.

War widow's Sorrow

Departed Soldier's Mata ms Sis Must Forget llsr Loss DEAR MISS DIX: I Btlfl a young war widow of 24. Two years

have passed since I lost my husband and I am still sunk in grief. I go nowhere. My friends are dropplngmway from me. I do nothing

but brood, and I know that I will never get over losing him. The only thing that I can think of that might alleviate my sorrow is to adopt a baby boy and rear him as if he were mine, but my mother opposes this. ‘

What would you advise me to do? M. M.

ANSWER: I would advise you to gather all of your courage together and force yourself to real- iZc that you are acting like a coward. and that your brave soldier husband. who died fighting for a principle. must be ashamed of you if he can know that you simply laid clown and quit when you were called uipon to bear your share of the world's grief.

I do not minimize your sorrow. I know that your youth has been blighted by the loss of the man you loved. I know that the tomiptation to nurse your despair is great. But do you ever stop to think how depressing you are to all a-bout you. and how dark the whole universe would be if everyone, who has lost someone who was just the core of their hearts. should act as you are doing? It takes more bravery to swallow our tears and smile above a breaking heart than it does to die. I think that one of the greatest stories of heroism during the u-ar was that of the English women who did not even tell “hen they lost a son. or husband, or brother.

TIME DULLS PAIN

You say you will never get over your loss. But you will. People do. Time dulls our pain. or else we could not live. And so I think you would be very foolish to adopt a child until you have. at least, given yourself a chance to come back to normal. Some other fine man will come along with whom you will fall in love and marry, and if you do. you will find that a stepohild always makes complications.

Force yourself to undertake some work that will keep you so busy that you will not have time to dwell on your sorrow. and that | will leave you so tired at night that you will sleep. instead of lyingi awake and weeping into your pillow. It takes courage to face a great . sorrow. Brace up and mcct lilo, instead of trying to hide from it. Be worthy of your soldier husband. i

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My mother married her second hus- band five years after the death of my father, when I was only i3 years old. Although my stepfather and his family were vcry kind to me. I nevtr thought of them as my own family because my father's mem- ory was very vivid to me and my paternal grandparents are still alive.

My father has a younger brother who is now M and has just come home from the service. I never really knew him before. but since he returned we have fallen in love with each other. A few days ego we were married without consulting anyone. but the family reaction is a nightmare. My stepfather was so shocked that he hasn't spoken to either of us since. and my husband's parents said they considered me as their granddaughter and his brothers and sisters said the same.

John says he still wants me and will take me somewhere awav from our families. So you see l must either sacrifice the respect of my family or the love of the man I married. Dou you think I should sub- mit to my mother's wishes and have my marriage annulled. or live in the same town with my family as my husband's wife. and show them that we can be happy and have children who arc_ not idiots. as they suppose they w-lll be? Or should we go away among people we do not know and start our lives among folk who are not prejudiced?

’ YOUNG MRS. PERPLEICED.

ANSWER: Your family are acting like the feeble-minded chil- dren hhat they predict you will bring into the world. for there is no reason whatever that you and Jchn should not stay married. You have not the slightest degree of consanguinity. You haven't a drop of the same blood and are no kin to each other than if your mother nndlhis brother had never married.

Inasmuch as good jobs .are hard to get now and John has an as- surc-d income in your home town, I think you will be wise to stay where you are and hope and pray that your family will wake up to realize how silly they are acting.
