Wall papar has this adventure in war timesâ€"it is one way to change the scenes â€" without a major operation. In fact, even a shortage of wall paper will still leave a wide range of possibilities, fo r it can be used in small amounts as well as in roomâ€"fulls. : Wall papered niches panels cellings, dadoes all sugâ€" gest ways to vary the affect of tooâ€"plain walls, without going allâ€"out on figured walls.. Many regular wall paper deâ€" signs# can be adapted for such use, or you can have your choice of wall paper colonnades, moldings, swags, pedestais, ovenâ€"doors and other architectural dgâ€" signs. Some of these achieve dazzling effects in plainish roomsâ€"others curs architec:ural headaches in odd shaped rooms or make ceilings seem lower o1 higher as desired.

PLEASANT HOMEsS 1 In The Advance twenty years ago reference was made to the suggestions , in some of the Toronto newspapers that ithere. might be labkour trouble in the Porcupine. There was no ground for the suggestion, and as The Advance pointed out at the tims, "only cutside agitation and improper propaganda could stir up trouble here." The Adâ€" vance pointesd out that the mines here paid well and that the also showed a spirit of fairness and reason at all times. and mutual goodwill kept conâ€" diticons in good shape. The story of trouble was foundsd on a demand from a labour organization that did not reâ€" present any matorial body o# the workâ€" 'ers in the camp. The demand was for _an increase of 20 cents per day in pay. 1 The mines in the Porcupine were al-} ready paying the best scals of W'aoreai anywhere on the continent excep:t in . the copper mines, where bonuses; based | on the price of coper made the ravw higher, and in the Arizona desert where conditions were not so good.

There was a musical and literary proâ€" grammes of much merit, as well as cards dancing, games, etc. Timmins had hockey matches on good ice on April 12th and 15th, 1923, th2 match on Anril 12th being an exâ€" hibition gams for the benefit of Ran Montgemery, of New Liskeard, who suffered a serious injury to one o" his eyes in a gams at Timmins the prevemus year.

It was costing Cochrane from $500.00 to $700.00 per day to fight the epidemic, while at thne same time there were twentyâ€"three nurses maintained and it was necessary to provide for a number of families whose were ill with the fever. Medical supplies were costing the town a great deal,. Shipments of supplies had been made to Cochran« by the iRed ‘Cross and the provincial board o‘ health, while South Porcupirie and Iroquois Falls were the two first towns to show the real spirit of ne:ignâ€" tourliness by sending in supplies anc oth>r help. Cobalt also had assisted with both monsy and gosds. The vance suggesced that other towns of ithe North join in this work of helping out a neighbour town, and it is pleasant to recall that the spirit of the North provâ€"â€" ed itgelf from all quarters.

It can be soaked for an hour or so, or can be scalded with boiling water and cook@d at once.

By the way, if you have a sunny window, there is no reason why you cannot have a pot of parsley growâ€" ing all the year round. Parsley should be considered more than a garnish, as no green is richer in vitamins.

Many sait mackerel addicts now buy small bucâ€" kets of the filletsd fish directly from Gloucester, Massachuset‘ts, and keep them on hard. Sixteen goodâ€"sized filâ€" lets can be bougsht for $2.00 and there is no express charge. _ I usually cook one for a person and an extra one. When I serve them. I divide them into two portions and then ary left over can be scalloped or made into cak>s for use the next day. By the way, macâ€" kerel is a fat fish and needs no extra shortening with it. Don‘t forget that salt mackerel nseds a long soaking in watlter at least twelve hours. Not everyone appreciates salt fish as it deserves. Perhaps one has to been introduced to it in childhood to demand that codfish cakes, creamed codfish with baked potatoes, or salt mackerel baked in milk, appear reguâ€" larly on the home tabls.
