Orange and tomato juices lose
much of their nutritive value after
they have been exposed to the air
for several hours. Consequently
it is a good plan to prepare them
just before serving. Buy tomato
juice in cans which hold an
amount that will be quickly con-
sumed after they are opened.
Keep brass articles from tar
nishing by covering them with a
thin coat of clear varnish. The
varnish will form a lacquer which
will not wear off unless the brass
is handled frequently.

The juice in apple and berry
pies runs over because the oven is
too hot. Turn down the gas and
let the pies cook slowly after the
crust has begun to brown.
To clean gas stove burners boil
them in a strong solution of wash

an hour. This will remove all the

FINLAND'S SURRENDER

WASHINGTON.-Nowth that artil-
lery fire has departed from the
battlefields of Finland, the allies are
getting an almost panic-stricken
picture of what that defeat means
to them.
For when the history of this world
war is written, probably the letdown
of Finland can be placed beside the
British sabotage of the Spanish re-
public as the wars two major catas-
trophies. =
The surrender of Finland means
not so much a triumph for Soviet
Russia as for Germany. 1t means
that the remainder of Finland now
will be welded together for self
protection in an econorNic alliance
with Sweden and Norway. And
most important of all it means that

proverbial exception that proves the
rule! But in general, following def
mite rules of cookery produces the
best results consistently.
There is, for example, a standard
method for mixing cakes. Then
there are revolutionary methods
such as that which is used in the
jiffy cake recipe below. But it's
well to remember that the unusual
method which, in one recipe, gives
entirely satisfactory results, for an
other recipe may not work at all.
These are general rules with an
exception to prove every one, I do
believeD which the good cook fol-

wise, mix only until the ingredients
are blended.
3. Cheese, egg and milk mixtures
require low temperature for cook
ing. Too high temperature is likely
to cause curdling.
4. When making pie crust, have
the ingredients as cold as possible.
S. When egg white is added to a
batter, it should be beaten until it
is stiff but not dry, and folded lightly
into the batter.
The recipes below will give you
excellent results, in spite of the fact
that they seem somewhat contradict

particular recipes, and they may not

all Scandinavia will come under the

troll, of Germany.
In fact, Nazi Germany is work.
ing overtime to create a sort of
United States of North Europe
Norway, Sweden, Finland and Den
mark, all cooperating in the closest
manner economically, and perhaps
politically, with the Reich. That is
why DR.. Schacht, Germany's eco

exactly one day after Finnish peace
was signed.
This means that another vital
area of Europe becomes alienated
from the British, just as the down.
fall of the Spanish republic meant
that British influence vanished from
one vital area of the Mediterranean.
WELLESIAN CODE
WASHINGTON There is a very
good reason why newspaper cables
regarding the peace mission of I'm
dersecretary of State Welles are so
meager. He isn't saying anything
about his conversations to a soul
except the President of the United
States.
Not even Secretary of State Hull
is in on all of the Welles reports,
though he gets them secondhand
from Roosevelt. Virtually no other
member of the state department
knows anything about the progress
Welles is making.
Confidential fact is that before
Welles departed, he worked out a
private code with the President.
This code consists of numbers, so
that Welles wires back a number
and only the President knows what
that number means. Thus it is i'm
possible for the Nazis, British or
anyone else to break down the code.
Welles' code cables are sent to
Secretary Hull, who, in turn, takes
them to the President, who person
ally decides them. After Welles'
conversation with Hitler, he cabled
back single number, and Mr.. Hull
took the number over to the White
House, gave it to the President.
The President did little figuring,
then said: doesn't look so good,
does it?'
Note-The Welles reports are so
brief that obviously he and the Pres
ident are counting chiefly on per-
sonal conversations after his re-
turn.

tive action, and take an important
part in destroying poisons in the in
testine.
AS mentioned before, this action
of the bile in causing the large in
testine to move its wastes along and
prevent constipation, is one of the
big factors in enabling us to face
our daily work and SponSibilitieS
with the courage man naturally pos
sesses. The fact also that the bile
can destroy the poisons or harmful
wastes that would poison the blood
stream means much in maintaining
our everyday courage.
How to Keep Liver Healthy.
The bile can be manufactured by
the liver and flow freely from liver
only if the liver is kept healthy.
How can the liver be kept healthy?
I have spoken a number of times
of the two ways you can keep your
liver working properly; first by not
eating large meals, especially of
fats, and second, by bending, twist
ing and breathing exercises which
squeeze" the liver, stimulate the
circulation and speed up the flow of
bile from the liver and gall bladder.
Where there is stasis or sluggish
ness of the gall bladder, Drs. Ivy
and Berman suggest the use of bile
salts to increase the flow of bile.
Where there is acute gall bladder
disease, the use of bile salts or other
remedies should be prescribed only
by physician.

Lucrative Colitis
Yields to Oil Enemas

WHAT is called Lucrative coli
W tbs, where the lining of the colon
is greatly inf1amed and liberation
present, the symptoms may be so
severe that surgery is necessary to
obtain relief. For years, mild anti
septic enemas have been used once
or twice day, and sometimes oil
enemas, which were left in the colon
overnight. What may prove of much
help in severe cases is enemaS of
cod liver oil.
DR.. H. Gainsborough in the Lam
Get, London, reports his results of
using cod liver oil enemas in six
cases of Lucrative colitis.
Preliminary Treatment.
Before using the cod liver oil enc
mas, patients were given complete
rest in bed and starch and opium
enemas to reduce the diarrhoea and
irritability of the colon. These
starch and opium enemas kept the
colon so quiet that the patients were

to help heal the ulcers and raw sur

cod liver oil enemas only a short
time and they were given during the
day. Later they were given at bed
time and held by the patient till
morning. The beginning dose was
