Goring has just been giving an interview to an American journalist in the course of which occurred the remark "You may not beliee it, but my Air Force is stronger to-day than at the outbreak of war The significant point in that statement is not the boast about the Air Force but the almost humble introduction, You may not believe it So also with Adolf himself, the supreme War Lord, when he was making his peace offer speech of fortnight ago Mr. Churchill ought, perhaps, for once to believe me It does really begin to look though even the Nazi leaders understand by this time that past and palpable falsehoods have come thickly home to ronst and that no one in what remains of the civilised world is going to take their unsupported word as worth anything at all. lou mav not tieiieve me. nut the formula has an almost plaintive note, as of one who is beginning to despair of ever getting himself believed agam.

The case of Truthful Joe Goebbels. however, is probably completely hopeless you might A battery of THE FOOD Colour and I do mv own cooking and I set out for a course of lectures arranged through the new Kood Campaign, a refresher course for housewives, hot from an argument with a visiting nephew. He maintained that the fact that he could eat vast quantities of white bread the whiter the better for him and found brown bread much heavier going proved conclusively that (a His peculiar nature required white bread (b) It must be wrong for him to be hungry again so quickly after eating brown bread c) On the principle of "what you like docs you most good and you can leave it to Nature," it is rong to force particularly iiung. growing people or. alternatively, young, sensitive people to eat what is distasteful to them."

I was therefore the more interested to be presented by the lecturer immediately with sueh marvellous replies that it was with dilticultv 1 remained for the whole of the lecture, so afraid was I that the brat would have gone to sleep before I could confound him. I have always been one of those people who can learn best bv what are regarded by many educationists as unintelligent means. I can.

for example, vividly remember all the French I learned by rhyme early in life, and very useful it has- been to me. So I responded at once to the element of romance introduced into the lecture by the exhibition of various foodstuffs grouped in accordance with their separate food value in an imaginative wav. They were laid out under head- RHUBARB: Much garden rhubarb is going to waste this year for lack of sugar to cook it with, but there are some wavs of using it which take little or no sugar No sugar is necessary if golden syrup or honey is used for sweetening. Very little sugar is required if the rhubarb is stewed with dates or raisins. As the rhubarb takes less time to cook, stew the dates or raisins first until almost soft in a little water, then add the rhubarb cut into small pieces.

This is an excellent combination of Savours. A good batter pudding can be mads with the rhubarb with verv little sugar, as the batter takes off the acid flavour of the rhubarb. Make the batter in the usual way, and at the bottom of the dish cut the rhubarb, sweetened with sugar, syrup, or honey. Bake in a hot oven until nicely browned. Rhubarb and rice also make a good pudding.

Boil the rhubarb and rice together until soft (in water, as milk will curdle), then add a little sugar or syrup to taste. Let it get cold and serve with whipped cream. Rhubarb fool also takes little sugar. Stew the rhubarb with hardly any water1 at all. i i i i i i pontoons of a bridge.

i Like many other women, I have often ainlv maintained that life is not long enough for excessive consideration of ordinary affairs. Even a week ago I would have said "Oh! well. yes. I suppose I do achieve balanced food during the day. We do have vegetables.

and some fruit, and some milk and eggs or lish or meat." feeling at the same time rather superior to these poor fussv creatures who weigh and measure and" ponder. But when the lecturer took the Oslo breakfast and showed us whv it was so miraculous its effect and how by combining milk, which comes under all three headings, orange and banana, brown bread from the whole meal, butter, salad, and cheese you have a meal which, taken at any of" the day's meal periods, would ilone ensure the balancing of that days food values.

Amazingly helpful it all was, and I went home for the confronting of my loquacious nephew secure in the possession of facts that would prove my contentions.

M. G. SAVING SUGAR then rub through a sieve. Add a little sugar or syrup. Make an equal quantity of custard, and let both gtt quite cold.

Lightly whisk up together. Cream can be added if available. Rhubarb is also excellent jam-making for eking out the more expensive fruits. In jam it has a neutral flavour and is not noticed. Rhubarb and blackcurrant is a good combination, so is rhubarb and apple.

L. M. To Keep Cakes Fresh Keeping these days is sometimes saving time and trouble, as well as money and material. Stale cake has to be laboriously used up by way of a pudding, which is not always welcome when made. But why let cakes get stale An apple in the cake tin will prevent it Only change the apple before it goes bad.

Alternatively, wring out a clean small table napkin or piece of linen in cold water and put this in the tin, renewing it as it dries. Either method will keep small or large cakes from getting either dry or mouldy for a long time. it by women in Italy to add brilliance to their eyes.

The widow of a beerhouse-keeper in Whitechapel Road testified that Hillard had sold her three-pennyworth of the berries as nettle-berries she had made a tart and it had killed her husband and a little boy.

Others had bought the nettleberries and narrowly escaped. Eventually Hillard was convicted and given six months' hard labour, a light enough penalty for days when sentences did not usually err on the i.nl.nt Ae i The Paper Question The Paper in shops is Producing some varied reactions (writes a correspondent).

The articles collected included 66 tons of paper, 95 tons of metal, 20 tons of glass, 800 dozen bottles, a ton of bones, and six tons of rags and tyres. The Director of Cleansing (Mr.

H. S. Whitehead) has paid a tribute to the painstaking work of the local W.V5.. whose members canvassed 22300 houses with the result that 238 tons of salvage were collected. The cleansing department now has a special vehicle, which has a crew of four, engaged on no other work but the collecting of salvage.

A Carpet Casualty News that the Wilton Royal Carpet Factory near Salisbury ts to close through lack of orders and because the type of carpet in which the factory specialises is an expensive luxury suggests another casualty of the lean years around us and ahead. After all, carpets of any kind were in this country a latish arrival, and, though it is not very likely that we shall return to strewn rushes as a floor-, covering, the day of soft and luxurious textiles of the richest sort has probably suffered a severe setback. We used to be told a good deal about the bareness of Lord Gort's apartment at G.HQ. in France that bareness may become symp-, tomatic of c.vilian as well as military life, i For long enough after they had been lntro-' duced to the apartments of the higher sort carpets must have been unknown to the feet that trod the quarters of the underlings. On the carpet in the sense of having been called up for a dressing down would hardly have acquired its more rigorous connotation unless carpets were more or less unknown to the feet that advanced over them for purposes of rebuke and judgment.

Deadly Nightshade The statement that plans have been made for the cultivation of belladonna in this country to replenish the stocks lost since the war underlines the importance of -deadly nightshade" to doctors and surgeons and oculists, though its traditional fame and its name of belladonna are declared to be associated with the use of Stilk t)f iensi is tkM trmdt mar cf PiuUtpf STUDENT PASTORATES Manchester College, Oxford The annual report ot Manchester College. Oxford, records that the system of student pastorates during vacation has been continued. The committee, however, felt that, excellent as the system might be, the experience sained in a student pastorate was not so useful from the point of view of training for the ministry as would be a longer connection with a large and vigorous church. Accordingly tftev decided, while continuing the student pastorates, to establish a further scheme of ministerial assistantships, under which a student, on leaving the college, may jld the post of assistant minister at a selected church. The salary, which will be paid out of college funds, is 200.

and anv preaching fees earned by the student will be refunded to the college. The first student to benefit under the scheme is Mr. E. Basil Short, who is acting as assistant minister at Gee Cross," Mr. R.
