Oysters are usual' y reasonable In price nt this season, but "C'est la war." so nothing Is nor mal In price. The usual ways of preparing the delicate bivalve are so well known that they need no mention, the following are a few meth ods which some may like to try. Oyster Club Sandwich. Allow two slices of toast for each person. Drain each oyster, dry on n cheesecloth, dip In olive oil, then cracker crumbs and broil In a line wire broiler for three minutes, turning frequently. I'ut wo or three oysters on a slice of butteret toast, add a little salad dressing, cover with another slice of toast and garnish with slices of broiled bacon. Oysters en hroehette are fresh oy sters put on a skewer alternating with slices of bacon. Lay the skewer across a pan and bnke In a hot oven until the bacon Is cooked. Serve t.n oblongs of toast without removing the skewer. Oyster and Fish Pie. Lse fish Hakes any oysters In equal quantities, mixed with a rich cream sauce. Have ready a deep baked pastry shell and fill with the hot mixture, cover with piecrust and place In a quick oven to brown. Spaghetti or macaroni may be substi tuted for the fish. Oyster Casino. Use deep half-shells of oysters, allowing six to each portion. Into each shell put half a teaspoonful of strained oyster liquor, a few drops of lemon Juice, then the oyster sprin kled with pepper and salt and covered with buttered crumbs. On each lay a square of bacon and set Into the oven for ten to twelve minutes. Serve with brown bread sandwiches. Oyster Canapes. Cut small oblongs of stale bread, with all the crusts re moved. Brown them In a shallow pan In hot olive oil. On each piece place a large raw oyster, which has been dried on a cheesecloth. Arrange these on an Inverted tin and place under a gas flame. Remove as soon as tho oy sters arc plump, sprinkle with salt and pepper, put a hit of butter on each and serve with lemon quarters. Poached oysters served In green pepper shells or In a mold of tomato Jelly served with tomato catsup, horseradish and lemon juice, makes a good cocktail mixture. Many a person never does anything worth whllo because ho thlnkH It Isn't worth while. WHAT SHALL WE HAVE FOR DIN NER? Whllo eggs arts so high we must economlzo in them and a cake which will be moist and tasty, is a welcome one. Apple Snuce Cake. Cream a fourth of n cupful, of shortening ulih a cupful of sugar, dissolw one tenspooiil'ul if -oiln in a little hot water and beat It Into a cupful of strained apple sauce and two cupfuls of Hour, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, half a teuspoonful of cloves and a pinch of nllsplce.

Add to the yolks four table spoonfuls of milk, a teaspoonful of corn starch, a tablespoonful of melted fat, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the chives to tho yolks and fold In the stiffly beaten whites. Grease the omelet pan with a tnblespoonful of fat and pour In the egg mixture.

Salsify Is such an appetizing vegetable that It should be more abundantly grown In our home gnrdens. It has the advan tage of belonging to the winter vege tables which may be stored In cold climates and used all winter. Stuffed Onions. Take six largo onions, peel and cook In salted water until nearly done; remove from the water and take out the centers, chop ping them fine; seuson well with salt, pepper, a little fat and bread crumbs, with an egg to hold the stulllng togeth er, adding a few spoonfuls of any chopped meat or chicken or nuts of different kinds Rut Into tho oven and bake, basting with hot water and chicken fat.

Kmer.Hon. PLAIN AND ORDINARY DISHES. Now Is the tjme of the yenr when the housewife of Ingenuity begins to do a little more thinking and plan ning, for whatever Is served the cost Is about double In price. Hggs must be used sparingly, fats are replacing butter even on the tnblc In many homes, vegetables In plenty must bo served in different ways to make them appetizing, and renl brain work must ..e used to keep the every-day things ft-. 1111 .i.iltl.... .... ,t... i""'h uii nil' (muni:. We are going without frosted cakes and thus saving much sugar. A layer cake with a good filling needs no frost ing to appeal to tho appetite, but a plain cake for special occasion may bo covered with Eogless Icing. Roll together a cup ful of brown sugar, half n cupful of milk and a teaspoonful of butter sub stitute until It spins n thread, beat like fudge and spread before It be comes too hard to spread smoothly. Sour cream and brown stiga.' boiled together makes another most delicious cake tilling which mny be used for an Icing. Prlnceo3 Pudding. Boll enough sweet potatoes to make a pint when mashed with a tablespoonful of but ter substitute and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Add to this a half cupful of chopped nuts, two tablespoonfuls of chopped raisins, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a little nutmeg nnd a table spoonful of cider.

We have shown that It Is possible to be a little more saving, even when our housewives have tried to be as sav ing as possible as a principle all their lives. Wo cannot ask thoso who are half starved to save, they cannot for obvious rensoitfi, but the vast "common people" of America of whom there are many of us, And that there have been count less little wastes going on that have never until this year been brought to the attention. In cooking rice, mushes or various cereals If skim milk Is used the food has a much higher nutritive value. In making milk roups, custards, puddings of various sorts, breads, calces and chowders, milk that Is skimmed may be used to a large extent. The fat may be supplied In some cheaper form than butter fat. While we still have plenty of vege tables and fruits the shortage of fats Is upon us. England and tho other countries over there are feeling the stringency and we must use more caution with our valuable fats which are so essential to the health and well being of our growing children and the healing of the wounds of our soldiers. Much fnt may be saved at home by saving every bit of surplus trimmed from meat, trying It out and keeping different kinds In separate dishes. Fnt from fowls may be used for al most all foods In which butter would bo used. After trying It out or ren dering It, add water and let It cook. The water removes all bits of mate rial which have adhered to the fat and which often give It an untleslr nble flavor. Charcoal Is added to some highly flavored fats, this decreiiros the Intensity of the flavor. It Is nee essnry to strain the fat through a flan nel after using charcoal. After using fat for any purpose, strain It, for It keeps better and rooks clearer. Skim milk as a real food Is coming into Its own. The only nutrient taken from wholo milk In skimming, Is but ter fat, there Is left, all of the valu able mineral salts, protein and sugar which Is valuable In supplying heat and energy, ns well as tissue building material. H YEAR'S GREETINGS The Heads of Canada's Western Provinces, and Their Message. The United States having been in the grcnt world's war for about nine months, the touch of war's spirit hns permeated tho great commonwealth, and In every hamlet and district Is felt nnd shown the Interest that was to ho expected from a people whoso lovo of liberty and Justice rises supreme to all else. Day by day their appreciation of whnt It means to give up now for the future happiness of themselves and the generations thnt follow grows greater and greater. There will bo losses of loved ones, but there will he no badge of mourning to indicate the groat sorrow that will bo felt. It is realized that tho sacrifice Is the toll that Is demanded for making the whole world better, and, sensing this, there Is preparation and willingness to sac rifice until the goal tho defeat and downfall of despotism Is assured. When tho people look bnck, and see what Canada has done, and lent that Canada today Is bigger and better than ever, they will take heart, and with In creasingly growing vigor carry on with n greater courage. Canada has been In the war for three and a half years. She has sent 400,000 out of a popula tion of eight million, she has sub scribed to Victory Bonds over and over again and there Is no sound of a whimper. At each demand that Is made upon her resources, she meets It, nnd gets rendy for the next. Recently her people were asked to subscribe SHOO.OOO.OOO. She handed over !f I00. 000,000. Having .already contributed -100,000 soldiers, Canada was recently asked to approve of sending another 100,000. With a sweeping majority, consent was given. How the war affects Canada Is best shown by the willingness of the people to contribute. They, too, realize the great and noble part they are taking In this great conflict. They are a unit on making the world better. Canada's wealth was never shown to better ad vantage than In the present struggle. It possesses great wealth In the soil, In Its mines, Its other nutural resources, and wonderful riches in the tenacity und courage of Its men and Us women. The soil and the climate, and the har dihood and determination of the farm ing class to win, by cultivating and cultivating, growing wheat and raising cattle to build up the resources so necessary to carry on tho war, are fac tors that will count. l'robably the best word of encour agement conies from the Premiers of the three great provinces where tho bulk of the food products will come from. When one reads what these men, prominent In their country say, It gives Inspiration. If there are any who may be pessimistic of tho future, the message that those gentlemen send forward should remove all doubt. Three and a half years in the war, able to speak as they do, the future should look bright to those who mny have their seasons of doubt I Hon. T. C. Norrls, Premier of Mani toba, says : "Manitoba has prospered exceeding ly during the yenr 1017, and the new year finds us not only still ready and willing, but unceasingly able to bear whatever burdens the fourth year of the war mny bring. "Manitoba farmers, generally speak ing, have never been in better condi tion to carry on. Out of her prosperity Manitoba Is giving lavishly toward the winning of the war. Every appeal for funds hns met with quick and generous response. The people of tiie Province are well settled Into the collar In all war efforts. There's a spirit of deter mination, of willingness to make sac rifices, of conlldence In the certain out come, of which there Is no room for pessimism, Manitoba will carry on." Saskatchewan had a prosperous and successful year in 1017, nnd when Pre mier Martin sent out his New Yenr message It was tilled with an optimism that was fully warranted. "There Is no doubt that the province today Is In a better condition llnnn clally than ever before. True, the ef fects of the town mid city real estate boom have not altogether passed away, but speaking generally, the farmers on tho plains and the merchants In (1h towns are In a better flnaucial position today tliiui at any previous time. Our people are Industrious and progressive. "While we have In some portions of the Province a mixed population, edu cation and scleiiiiflc methods art- mak ing rapid strides und we are looking forward with every contldenco to 11 glorious future und the development of a people on the central plains of Can ada, of which tho whole Dominion and the British Empire will have every reason to be proud." While Alberta has given over to the war thousands of her virile manhood, thus taking from the farmer a large percentage of Its producers, It still stands up big and buoyant. The farm help thus temporarily removed means a demand for farm help and Increased farm effort to till Its highly productive acres. Hon. Chas. Stewart, Premlet of Alberta, In a message to the people on the 1st of January, speaks with such buoyancy and hope of the future and ho highly of the work of the past yeur, that his statement Is reproduced. He says: "Tho prosperity of tho farming com munities Is reflected m the towns and cities by Increased wholesale business and bank clearances. Wholesalers re port Increases from HO per cent to li.'i per cent nnd their collections the best In the history of the Province. Alberta in" oxwpiiiiiillv an agricultural Prov ince nt the present time, theso condi tions nrc u source of grent gratification to onr people, nnd no doubt will ho to Canada ns a whole taking Into consid eration the fact that Alberta forma no small part of the gianury to which tho Empire nt present looks ns tho source of its food supply."
