After our supply of chili sauce was exhausted we opened a couple of tins of tomatoes, drained of the juice, added minced onion, celery and a few ^ices, then simmered for % hoar â€" and the family are happy again. 2. Here is a special onion dish which keeps the aroma w itself. Se- lect onions of the same size and peel them. Pierce each one right through centre to keep the heart from pop- ping out. Place onions in a casserole and pour a tin of mushroom soup over them. Cover and bake in elec- tric oven at .350 degrees for 40 mins. 3. Keep slivers ' raw carrots in a covered jar in tV>o refrigerator for those who go looking for something to eat at all hours. Crisn crunchy carrot sticks are easy to prepare â€" thank goodness, because they disap- pear more quickly than cookies. 4. Peel a ring around the small scrubbed potatoes and boil them. This makes the potatoes more nutri- tious and easy to skin. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. J. C. says: Homemade soup is the best welcome sign at our home. Here is the recipe you V.ked.

Well, if you could, what would you do to improve your farm and increase your pro- duction.' Would you build a modern barn? or buy new machinery? or modernize your house? or electrify yoor farm? You con raise short term monev from your bank; and long term money from other institutions by way of mortgage. But there are some things you would like to do which require loans that are neither long nor short . . . That is where the banks, operating under the new Farm Improvement Loans Aa, can help you. The gap has been filled. "Intermediate" loans at a specially tow rate can now be obtained for periods of two or three years â€" or even longer, in cases up to ten years.
