It, Trickey, 323 Main Sticet, Friday evening, at 8 o'clock when members of the Woman's Chiistian Temperance Union, temperance secretaries and presidents of missionary societies The frills have gone from our cupboards as well aa our clothes closets and those Jars of jam aren't going to look like enormous precious gems any 16nger.

In fact, your jolUea and your pickle won't come In prisms and hexagon and other flattering forms of containers: youll buy them in plain, round affslis without fua and without fancy. But hark to this, you patriot of a housewife! With your preserves and pickles stored away In these frugal affairs, you'll be helping to save your country 100 tons of sheet metal (for jar caps) and more than 3.000 tons of glass. With less and less "tin cans available, the saving in sheet metal Is of vital Importance and there will be more glass available for the canning of food products. Under the Wartime Prices and Trade Board conservation program, the new standard glass containers will be In 10 sizes as follows: 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64 and 128 ounce. All containers will bs marked for fluid ounce size, with tho size blown in the glass so that it will be quite legible to the purchaser.

In the past standard containers tor jams, jellies and marmalades have been marked acording to jar net weight But It Is the unanimous opinion of the trade that the fluid ounce size will be a better marking once the consuming public becomes accustomed to this type of labelling. Besides, by having all Jara based on fluid ounce size, the containers will be interchangeable for a greater variety of products. In establishing the new containers, the jam jara were left with the same net contents as before; the two-pound jam Jar you used to get will now be labelled 24 fluid ounces, in other words, the value of tha contents will remain the same The regulations enforcing the marking have already been in effect on canned goods for a number of years. The Department of Agriculture is accepting responsibility for seeing that alt jars are properly filled so that no one wilt receive less for bis money than the quantity shown on tha jar. Formerly the same size of a container might show six or Christening Party At Hostess House will have tho opportunity of meeting Miss Edna Grant, field secretary of the Canadian C.T.U..

3, oi yen Woman AopointedS To C.B.C. Board of Smith, gowns large B-Vitamin Floui Subject of Talk By Dr. R. Larmour Dr. Ralph Larmour, cereal chemist, University of Saskatchewan, was the guest speaker when the Household Science Club met recently at the home of Mrs.

Miller. 711 Fourth Avenue, north. He took for his subject, Vitamins ofl Canada Approved Flour andl0 the Bread. Regulations, he said, had arisen to try to counteract widespread deficiencies in diet. The vitamins were the most difficult to obtain under the present standard of living, as the flour milled with shorts, bran, outer coatings and germ belonged to a bygone era.

England waa the first to pass regulations concerning enriched flour, then the United States and finally Canada. In England, regulations stipulated 250 international units of B1 Pfr pound of flour. The national loaf represented an 85 per cent extraction. In the United States, flour was fortified with B1 nicotinic acid (ante pellagra factor), and Iron. In Canada, he pointed out, regulations passed in 1940 said that Canada approved bread must be made from flour containing 400 international units per pound be fore It could carry the seal.

To arrive at this figure was easier said than done as many problems con fronted the Government Officials, chemists, millers, bakers and even the consumer was not to be ig nored. The millers had spent thousands of dollars and much labor perfect-1- their patents. They turned out a beautiful white flour. Doctor Larmour said, which stored well under a variety of conditions, did not become easily infested witli insects, stood handling and kneading and finally turned out a uniform loaf of a nutty flour. Why, he asked, should the millera cast all previous efforts aside, and waa the public ready and willing to accept this new loaf darker In color and definitely stronger flavor? The matter waa also a one, and for these reasons Doctor Larmour -felt the success of this project still hung In the balance.

The acting president, Mr. F. J. Hanson, thanked the speaker, freshments were served by hostess. MB.

Heie aro some suggestion which will help save gasoline: Push the clutch peddle down while starting the motor. Do not push on tho starter, however, for too long a time. This wastes gasoline and Into the bargain wears diwn the battery. As a gas saver use the choke spat Ingly, and turn it off as soon aa the engine begins to fire regularly.

Cars should he warmed up slow, ly. Shifting into high before reaching 25 miles per hour, save gasoline. Racing tho engine wastes gasoline and wears out the motor. For instance, racing the motor to get out of a rut in wintertime only serve to get the car Into trouble. The wheels become more deeply Imbedded Into the rut, rubber is worn from the tire racing around, and gasoline Is used up quickly.
