Eastbound, she earries Canadian Potatoes Are Promoted The homely potato is one of the greatest gifts of the Indians to the world. The potato is not actually Irish, except by adop- tion, although it was received with enthusiasm as soon as it reached the Emerald Isle. It was recognized as an alternative for the staple oatmeal. There are several obvious and interesting reasons why the po- tato gained and retained its pop- ularity in so many lands. Its mildness does not tire the appe- tite and this reason also makes it an ideal accompaniment for more flavourful foods. Canada’s Food Rules recomment “two vegetables besides potatoes every day” thus emphasizing the value of potatoes in the diet. There are numerous ways of serving potatoes as a vegetable but it also moves into the dessert or confection class occasionally. Many old cook book suggest that mashed potatoes may replace one third of the flour in making bis- cuits or scones. Potatoes have been used successfully in bread for many years and appreciated for the quality of holding mois- ture and keeping the bread fresh. The home economists of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, recommend mashed potatoes as an ingredient in chocolate cake to keep it rich and moist.

Australia Maintains Wartime Controls Price control still applies to goods sold within Australia, and . while some increases have been authorized by the Prices Commis- sioner, the maintained. A review of retail prices in the six state capitals showed that the index for the threé months ended September 1947 (with the 1936-389 average equal to 100) were 126 for food and groceries, 106 for rent of small houses, 191 for clothing, and 126 for miscellaneous goods and ‘ services. Wholesale prices of basic materials and foodstuffs have also risen somewhat. The wholesale index for November 19£7, compiled on the same basis, was 139 for metals and coal; 158 for oils, fats and waxes; 281 for textiles; 143 for chemicals; 130 for rubber and hides; 189 for building materials; and 150 for foodstuffs and tobacco. It is in- teresting to note that the index for goods principally imported was 195, while that for goods principally home produced was 139.- At the end of 1947, con- sumer rationing continued to ap- ply to clothing, tea, butter, meat and gasoline. IODINE IN. FOOD Medical authorities recommend the use of iodized salt for preven- tion of simple goitre. lJodine is necessary for porper functioning of the thyroid gland. Food con- tains little iodine and, in some in- land regions, water and food avail- able may fail to supply even the small amounts we need. Public health authorities suggest that the family doctor be consulted as to - whether there is enough iodine in one’s diet. If hé recommends it, Canadians should use iodized salt in their food. level has been well * SOYBEAN HERE TO STAY SAYS GOVT. The soybean came into its own _ during the time of threatened meat and fat shortages because it produced two of the most ex- pensive foodstuffs, protein and fats, abundantly and cheaply. Soy products were never fully accepted, and since the war have been generally forgotten, say Dept. of Health and Welfare of- ficials. Yet a steady but small demand for soy bean products still exists, we are eating more and more soybean oil in com- mercially prepared foods such as shortening and cooking oils. Of the many bakeries in Can- ada to use the soy flour the Sid- ney Bakery finds a steady and growing market for Soya Health bread baked at the firms bakery. During the period of lend lease 22 foreign countries became regu- lar customers of soy flour and used it in bread and-meat pro- ducts. Any plant, say government men, which with one man’s labour for a day will yield food furnishing enough calories to support a per- son for a year, enough protein to supply a year’s needs for five per- sons, enough ¢aleium for two and enough thiamine for the yearly requirements of seven individuals is bound to win friends. : HABITS THAT HURT Mother, if your child has bad habits, what are you doing about it: National health headquarters wants you to understand that you won’t get anywhere by scolding, spanking, shaming or bribing the child. He must be made to under- stand that everything possible is being done to help him. “Replace possible feelings of helplessness, fuilt, or shame’ by self-confidence and optimism,” say the doctors, “Gorrect wrong ideas about his difficulties and any thoughts the ehild may have concerning im- herited traits. If bad habits per- sist, further steps may be re- quired, in consultation, of course, with the family doctor.” aS] FOR YOUR VERY GOOD HEALTH TRY SOYA OUR HEALTH A fine-flavored tasty, wholesom BREAD alkaline bread— e and nutritious.
