How About Raisins and Nuts for Dessert for the "Quick Meal" Nuts Should be Cracked Before the Meal if Nutâ€"Crackers are Not in Plenty. Macademia, the Novelty from Haâ€" Waii is Worth Trying, Says Miss Edith M. Bar}!er. Desserts for the quick meal may be furnished occasionally at this season by a bow! of mixed nuts and a cluster raisins. Be surs, however, that you have a good nut cracker or two, or the family will strike on account of havâ€" gAGE TWYO ing to work hard directly after a meal. Of course, enough nuts for dessert may be cracked previously, but not 100 many, as they naturally dry out after the shells are opened. The nuts may be either fried in deep fat or baked in a little butter or salad oil before salting. I prefer baking withâ€" out any extra fat in the case of Braâ€" zil nuts. If you prefer to buy your nuts already salted, you should try some time the new macadama from Hawalii. Salad Nuts Method 1â€"Place nuts in a baking pan, allowing one teaspoon butter or salad oil for each cup of nuts. Bake in a 350â€" degree Fahrenheit oven (modâ€" erate), stirring occosionally, five to ten minutes until brown. Brazil nuts do not need the butter or salad oil. Sprinâ€" kle with salt. The supplies of nuts are generous and of good quality this year. For salting and for use in cocking, you will often find that it is more practical to purâ€" chase them in shelled form. Most of us are not experts at cracking shells in such a fashion that the meats may be removed without breaking. Almost any one, however, can manage paper shelled pecans and almonds. Method 2â€"Allow one pint of salad oil for each pound of nuts. Heat oil to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook nuts, a small amount at a time, in deep hot oil until delicate brown. Drain on soft paper and sprinkle with salt. Method 3â€"Allow one egg white for each half pound of shelled nuts. Beat egg white slightly, shake the nuts in it and place them on a baking sheet and bake in a moderate oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit, fifteen minutes until brown, stirring occasionally, Sprinkle with salt.

H. Russell, Treasurer of the Porcupine Christmas Seal Committee said this week. "A man in Denmark, Einar Holboell, first thought of it. He worked in a post office. One day he asked himself, "Why wouldn‘t it be a good idea to raise money to care for sick chilfren by selling people penny seals to decorate their Christmas letters and packages?" Story of the Method Used to Help in Battle Against Tuberculosis. "The royal family of Denmark beâ€" came interested and the money was found to print the seals. They sold so rapidly that soon there was money enough to build a children‘s hospital and the lives of many little ones were saved ," "One of these seals found its way to America on a@ letter to Jacob Riis, American philanthropist, who was A native of Denmark," Dr. Russell pointâ€" ed out. "Mr. Riis was so impressed with its potential usefulness and the festive air that it gave to his letter that he wrote an article about it in The Outlook magazine of July 6, 1907. "In Wilmington, Delaware," Dr. Rusâ€" sell continued, "a woman named Emfy Bissell wanted to keep open a little hispital where poor victims. of tuberâ€" culosis were being brought back to health. She had read Mr. Riis‘s article and thought ‘Why not try the Christâ€" mas Seal device in Delaware?‘ "Thus Christmas seals came to the North American continent, catching the imagination of the public both in the United States and Canada,. Since that early beginning tens of thousands af lives have been saved because Christâ€" mas Seals made tuberculosis preventive work possible." Since the campaign was inaugurated in Canada in 1927, approximately two million dollars have been raised in this way and spent exclusively for prevenâ€" tive work. That the Canadian tuberâ€" »ulosis death rate has come down from 82 per 100,000 in 1927 to 54 in 1938 can surely be no accident but a splendid to be proudly worn by the local committees across Canada who have enthusiastically promoted their cam»â€" paigns year by year.

Interesting Items at South Porcupine Guide Meeting ‘ The regular weekly meeting of the Ist South Porcupine Girl Guides was held at the Parish hall on Wednesday pesember 13. ‘The meeting began with country dancing and another part of the dance was learned. Horseshoe was then formed and the National Anthem was sung and the Lord‘s Prayer repeated. The next part of the meeting was thoroughly enjoyed by everybody presâ€" tho ent Miss Jones, RN., from the General nospital came and taught the Guides how to do the "firemen‘s lift." for the fireman‘s badge. It looked easy, it was so clearly explained and demonstrated ut Miss Jones and the Guides had a busy and jolly time helping every member to reach perfection. fThe mecting ended with Camp Fire and "Taps." This week Guides and Rangers will come together for a Christmas meéeting The mesting of the 51st L.O.D.E. Girl Guides was held in the Hollinger hall. The meeting was called to order by Captain Wadsworth. Horseshoe was formed where the colours were brought on and the National Anthem was sung. The Guide prayer was then repeated. Many of the Guides‘ mothers, brothers and sisters were guests. The party was started with the programme which contained a song by Peggy Wetmore, a song by Joan Pye, a dance by Rose Mary Hurst, a dance by Arley Mcâ€" Charles, a song by Gladys Roy, Eileen Dicker, and Bertha Sheridan, a song by a group of Guides and a play by a numâ€" ber of Guides called "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." The Guides also sung many songs. The presents were then given out and the lunch served. The meeting was closed with "O Canaâ€" da‘‘ and ‘‘Taps.‘ GIRL GUIDES ELECTROâ€"COAGULATION METHOD OF REMOVING TONSILS Your own physician and a throat specialist have advised that owing to the fact that you have bad tonsils surâ€" rounded by an inflamed throat, have sore throat frequently, have had pains in the joints and muscles, have had an Xâ€"ray of teeth and found no infection, your tonsils should be removed. You dislike the idea of an operation, an anaesthetic, the thought of severe nemorrhage or bleeding, losing time from your work and expense of hospital stay. You want to have your tonsils removed because you know that rheuâ€" matism and heart disease often follow infected tonsils. Therefore you put the question squarely to your physician, "What about having my tonsils removed by the electroâ€"coagulation methodâ€" qiathermy?" . If you could spare the time and money, were in good physical condition, and did not mind taking the anaestheâ€" tic, it is likely that your physician would recommend the removal of the tonsils by surgery. With the patient under complete anaesthesia both tonsils can beé completely and cleanly removed at the one timeâ€"a matter of two or three days (sometimes longer) in the hnospital. No weekly trips (6 to 12) to surgeon‘s office is necesasry as with the electroâ€"coagulation method. Hcowever there are certain advantages about this nonâ€"surgical method that make it suitable for many who must have their tonsils removed. 1. It is done in the surgeon‘s office; the patient loses just the time necessary to make the weekly visits. No interâ€" ference with work, home or social life. 2. There is no ‘operation‘ and genâ€" eral anaesthetic with its annoying and sometimse dangerous after effects â€" nausea, vomiting, pneumonia, lung abscesses. 3. There is less loss of blood, and the surgeon is not bothered by having too much losing of blood which sometimes makes operation difficult when tonsils are removed by surgery. You can thus see that the patient and physician have both the advanâ€" tages and disadvantages of electroâ€" coagulation method to consider when tonsils must be removed. ‘"This method cannot be used with smal] children or other cases where the coâ€"operation or help of the patient is necessary."

Negâ€" lected tresses, poorly styled, are greatâ€" ly tabco, and beauticians are stressâ€" ing proper scalp grooming as much as a proper skin grooming. And why not? Your hair is the frame for your face If it is dull and unruly your face is robbed of much beauty. If your hair is glossy and softly arranged about your face your skin and oyes reflect glory. Every woman should know the few simple rules for kseping hair lovely. Daily brushing and scalp finger masâ€" sage, regular shampoos (the frequency of your scalp), monthly or semiâ€"monthâ€" ly lubrication if sealp is dry, and setâ€" tings by expert finger if your own are not capable enough to fashion the strands into a becoming coiffure. What a boon it is to have hairâ€"dresâ€" sing services within our budgets, but the mistake we are apt to make is to deâ€" pend too much on our hairdresser and. too little upon ourselves. Because we pay him a weekly or fortnightly visit, we expect him to keep our locks at their best. In fact, we are likely to find fault and perhaps change our patronage, if our hair loses any of its beauty. Unâ€" justly we accuse the operator, little rcâ€" lizing that the care we give our scalps between salon visits is far more imâ€" portant to its beauty, than that an sperator can give it in an hour or two! Home Care Take for instance the scalp that tends to be dry and sensitive. Too frequent washings, too many hours beneath a hot dryer, and certain setting lotions are ruinous to its beauty. Such a scalp requires home careâ€"almostâ€"to keep the hair glossy and elastic.
