MORE RECIPES FOR HOUSEWIFE. • I I How to Make the Most of the New Rations. SUGGESTED MENUS. I Weekly Allowance per head, BREAD 4 lb. (Or 3lb. Flour for  2?1b. Bread-making).  MEAT 2-lb. I SUGAR. ?Ib.. i At the Bafctercea Polytechnic Miss I Marsden, the head of the -women's section, stated to a press representative that she considered that the suggested rations could be worked out to give ample variety in thf3 couvoo of the week, and that .many families could pave on meat, bread, and sugar. The economy export at the school worked out a typical list of menus for a week, rising the quantities suggested by Lord Dovonport. if rem this I list afternoon tea is omitted, but where it is considered necessary lib. of biscuits would probably suffice tor the family for I a week. Where the chief meal is taken in the evening tho supper dishes could be used for the mid-day meal. These menus have been dra.vn up for a I family of six—ay, mother, father, two children, nursery governess, and maid. Fresh fruit could ba added to any meal where it was the."slit necessary. The figure (1) stands tor breakfast, (2) for dinner or luncheon, and O) for suppers- Sunday.—(1) Scrambled eggs and tomatoes. (2) Dutch cluck (5$ib.). vege- tables. (3) Macaroni cheese and fruit. Monday—(1) I-acon (ilb.) and maca- roni. (2) Vegetable roup, cold meat, and I celery and potato salad. (3) Risotto. Tuesday.—(1) Grilled bacon (lib.) and tomato?. (2) Hot meat roll, stewed dried fruit, and boiled custard. (3) Sausage (lib.) and vegetable pie. (smoked haddock), lib. <2) iiio-e fillets, bachelor pudding. (3) Boiled onions and brown sauce, fresh fruit, and cheese. Thursday.—(I) Poniclge (hay-box). (2) Boiled meat vege- tables, milk puddings. (3) Vegetable salad, bread, and butter and cheese. Friday.—(1) Lentil cutlets. (2) Savoury mince and vegetables, apple dumplings. (3) Herrings (ilb.) au gratin, fresh fruit iiid cheese. Sahii-day.-(I) Fish (llh.) cakes. (2) Haricot bean ecup and fried croutes of tread (or vegetarian pie). Cornish treacle \art. (3) Nut cutlets The uses of tho left-over cooked meat are varied and many, tempting and economical meals being possible to tho careful cook. The following suggestions will be of value:- SCOTCH POT STEW. I Slices of cold meat, a tablcspoonful of flour, a small teaspoonful ox pepper, half a teaspoonful ex baJt, a good pinch of mixed and powdered herbs, minced onion, water or gravy. Cut the meat from the joint in fair- sized slices. Mix tho iiour, salt, pepper, and herbs thoroughly well together, and put them on a plate. Dip each piece ot meat into this mixture until it is well coated, and then. place it in the stew-jar, casserole, or piedish, aud scatter over it a layer of minced onion. Almost cover it with the gravy, put the cover on the jar. and cook gently in the oven for about an hour. If a pied ish is used, it should be covered closely with a greased paper. DISHES WITH SAUGAGES. fcausagBs, like everything else, have in- creased in price, but if cooked carefully they form an economical meat course for dinner, especially since some of our Lon- don providers have adopted the French sausage form whiiu gives more than double the number to the pound, and so enables you to regulate your consumption or meat within a half ounce. In frying them a little boiling water should first be put into the pan, and the sausages allowed to cook (turning them carefully) until all the water has been soaked up. TheJl fry in a little mar- garine in tho usual way. Sausages never break or shrivel if cooked like this; indeed, they swell to nearly twioe taeir ordinary size. ] SAUSAGE AND TOMATO PIE. Skin and roll in Hour lib of sausages. Place them in a buttered piedish, and over them put a layer of breadcrumbs, then another layer of sausages. Slice three large tomatoes and place them on top uf I tho sausages. Over this put a layer of breadcrumbs. Pour over all half a tea- cupful of warm water in which half a j tablespoonful of butter has been melted, add salt and pepper to taste, and bake ia a hot oven for over halt an hour. BELGIAN SAUSAGES. This is a Belgian recipe for cooking sausages with apples. It makes a most delicious dish, and is a nice change from the ordinary method of serving sausages. Take lib. of sausages and fry them lightly in margarine. When nicely brown, put them into the oven to keep hot. Have ready a pound of apples (peeled and cored), cut them into rouadb about £ in. in thickness, and try them in the butter the sausages were cooked in, adding moro butter (or margarine) it necessary. Let them fry gently until tender, then iift them out carefully, pile, in the centre of a hot dish, and arrange the sausages round. Serve with mashed potatoes. SAUSAGE PATTI ES. I Skin one pound of causa,?s, mix wti.li a I few brcttdcrumb? and 2 oz. flour; then iorm into patties and fry in tat till they are brown. CASSEROLE OF SAUSAGES. A delicious way of cooking sausages is I in a casserole. First fry them in margarine until they aro delicately brown all over, then pour over A pint of good gravy, and add ilb. of tomatoes cut in slices. Put oa the lid and gently simmer for nearly an hour. Sausages are not nearly 60 rch I oooked in this way. as the acid- in the I tomatoes absorbs all tho fat. VEGETARIAN DISHES. I Miss Margaret Dyer, head of the! cookery section of King's College ior Women (Household Science Department), baid on Thursday that oatcakes have a special value in the saving of wheat They can be easily cooked over an opca lire or in the oven, and could be used in Stony cases to take the place of bread. $%ey are excellent with cheesc and gcod nmey are exce l ?--nt Mf children. At Queen Mary's Hostel attached to, King's College tho head cock, who holds I the diploma of the College, sv.ggot^U the use of very stale bread moisten»«f with 1 milk in the proportion of ilb. to fib M r tlour in making fig or date pvUUinu* ¡' This plan, she said, not only bared » )j quarter of the usual quanity of fit)pir. but made the puddings very light. She also suggested the use of more vegetarian dishes, such as vegetarian Irish stew made of all kinds of v,getables-dried I p-eas, beatis, fresh potatoes,, etc., on a tomato puree basis and let rummer until thick. The disadvantage of vegetarian I dishes is that it is dif!icult to make an appetising use of what is left over; meat, on the contrary, can be treated in I many different ways-mth ric, potatoes, haricot beans, or some other vegetable. The beet way to prevent waste is to see that nothing is left that cannot be re- cooked in some form.

WAR LOAN.
WAR LOAN. W:O- A Patriotic Example. I Whcls Week's Takings to be I Invested. I A mooting of the directors of Messrs. R. E. Jones, Ltd., held on Friday, Mr. n.1 E. Jcnos, presiding, decided to imest the whole of the current week'o takings in the War Lean. The company named is well-known throughout South Wales not only for ite enterprise and efficiency as a trading con- cern, but always for the support that it is always ready to give, whenever possible, to ail the best of tho public noveraents set on icot from time to time. Its latest decision b get aside a large sum of money for investment in the War Loan is an ex- ample that others might take to heart and copy. In many cases it may be difficult to stipulate the share that a given com-\ pany should devote to such a purpose, but Messrs. K. E. Jones hit upon an expedient for settling the question that has all the advantages of certainty. The idea of putting up what will, in reality, be a fecial week, and of making the gross iat aia( l o l takings for that period the measure ot the contribution, is somewhht novel, and very I daring. It will mean not that one 52nd part of tin company's earnings is to go into 'I the fund, but that the groes takings of a l week especially set apart for the purpose is to be so devoted. In deciding upozj this step, Messrs. R. E. Jones have taken some risk, having regard to the uncertainty of the outlook of trading concerns of the sort so far as the next 1:3 months is con- corned. Caterers are in a line of business whose business is being hampered in various ways, and with a firm whose operations and activities are so widely spread as thoso of Messrs. 1*. E. Jones the difficulty of keeping things going must cause those responsible for the conduct of tho busineas many anxious moments. But the rinn named has gone in for it," and has taken a course at once patriotic and I business-like. -.Vvre have reason to believe that the probability is a sum running into four figures, with a very fine figure next to the pound £ Of course, it. may be re- marked that tho firm is making a good in- vestment. That is quite true, having re- gard to the terms Tipon which the War Loan stock is being offered to the public, but to decide upon putting aside the gross takings of their whole undertaking for a week shows that Messrs. R. B. Jones have regard aa much to the demands of patriotic duty as to the financial aspect of their decision.

ABERAVON HOSPITAL.I
ABERAVON HOSPITAL. I A Year's Useful Work. I A year of exceptional progress was re- corded at the second annual meeting ot the Ab-eravon, Port Talbot and District Hospital Association, held on Friday. Mr. F. B. Smith occupied the chair. j Tho annual report, lead by the secre- tary (Mr. W. R. Thomas) recorded the formal opening of the new hospital in February last year. The first patient was admitted on 27th March, aud up to 31st December 92 cases were admitted. Oi thesf, 77 were- discharged cured, eight re- mained in hospital, and seven died. Of tho latter five were admitted in such a serious condition as to hold out no hope of reeovcry. Thirty-three accident cases wero dealt with, and 60 operations were performed. At times the accommodation in the hospital was taxed almost to tho utmost, and the Management Committee felt that before long the question of en- larging tho hospital would have to ba faced, as the industries in the district were growing apace. Tho financial statement showed a favourable balance of £ 1,112 17s. 3d. In addition, £ 500 had been invested in the 6 per cent. Exchequer Bonds, which yielded £ 30 a year free of income-tax. Liabilities amounting to l,050 were still to be met. The Crown Preserved Coal Co. had donated £ 2C0 to the building fund, and had promised E25 per annum to the maintenance fund. The Chairman announced that the Management Committee had just dccidcd to inn:\8t £1,000 in tho War Lean, making their total holding in war stock £ 1,500. The ofifcial?—Messrs. W. R. Thomas i (secretary). W. B. Hallowes (treasurer). Thomas Griffiths, David Ware, and W. Morris (auditors)—were re-elected.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. ---I
ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. I Cbansimg Exhibition at the i Albert Hall. I Tho Albert Hall, Swansea, has seldom assumed such a festive appearance as it did on Friday afternoon on the occasion of the opening by the Mayoress of the floral exhibition.and sale of artificial flowers made by the blind and crippled girls of the John Groom's Crippleage. Supporting the Mayoress were the Hon. Talbot Rice, Sir John Llewelyn, Mrs. Wat- kin Williams and other well-known ladies and gentlemen. The proceedings having been opened with prayer by the Vicar of Swansea, Ald. Ben Jonee, who presided in the absence of the Mayor, said he had great pleasure in seeing Sir John Llewelyn amongst those who were interesting them- selves in the work of the institution. He expressed the wish that the ladies present would rally round the Mayoress and en- s-tirs the success of the sale. The creation of the girls, in his opinion, were marvel- lous, and he thought tho work might usefully be taught to the crippled soldiers. WORK OF THE INSTITUTION. I Mr. Alfred Groom, the son of the founder of the Institution, said his father's work commenced in 1866, and was inspired by the suffering and privation endured by tlio London flower girls. The Institution had done a great work. But chiefly of interest to the visitors to the Exhibition were the facts relating to the industrial training branch where the blind and crippled girls found employ. ment, through which they were able to support themselves. Girls maimed in many ways were able in a short time to make the wonderful blooms which were exhibited. There were about 300 in the Home at present, and they would &oon be wage-earners. The flowers they made were as close resemblances of nature a6 it was possible to make them. The Institution, he said, depended entirely on the proceeds of such sales. The flowers offered for were valne for money. It was with the money the public paid for the flowers that the Institution was able to pay the girls for their work, and he hoped the success of the sale would give him cause, tor gratitude to the people of Swansea. (Ap- plause) The M.ayoress, in declaring the sa.le open. said sinco the commencement of the II war. there had been many sales for charity, but there had been few nobler than that one, and she hoped those pre- sent would rally round and make the sale a success. A crippled girl with a pretty curtsey handed the Mayoress a handsome bouque- as a mem on to of the occasion. Sir John Llewelyn, in a brief speech, said that it was a pleasure to him to be present. He had taken a keen interest in the work of the institution in the past, and had sent Mr. John Groom a telegram of congratulation upon the continuance of the good work. It was not generally known, said Sir John, that the roses local ladies had 60 nobly sold for the Hospital funds were made by the girls who had made the lfowers they saw around them. It was through the work of the girls of this home that the organisers of the Rose ?.Iay-vi?cre able to h?nd over such a hand- some sum to the Hospital. It was with great pleasure he proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayoress. The Rev. A. W. Wardle, in seconding, said-beauty in art or nature was roai, and in tkis sense the beauty of the unreal flowers was real. The singing of the National Anthem concluded the ceremony.

LLANELLY SPGRTiNG 1 - GOSSIP.
LLANELLY SPGRTiNG 1 GOSSIP. Football on Frozen Félinfoel t Ground. t Notwithstanding tho fact. that King Lost reigned, locally as elsewhere on Sat- urday, this did not doier teams from carrying cut their fixtures. Llanellv pro- ceeded to Felinfoel, where they found the neercotion ground .in anything but an in- viting state. As the match had been ar- ranged for the benefit of Pte. Chappell, a discharged soldier who has drtle his bif on the Western front, and a fairly good crowd had assembled. The teams elected to play-a decision which reflected courage if not wisdom. There was nothing of the ex- hibition variety a'cout the play, which was keen even to a fault, and in the first half a, regrettable accident happened, Shon Hopkins, who played at inside half for Llanellv, being badly injured on the head. His injury proved ro serious that later in thegan D. J. Bennett, another Llanelly player, was called off the field to attend -to his requirements. At the outset, the visi- tors only fielded It men, with the result thr.t before the final was reached they were only thirteen. The, game ended in a point- less draw, and under tho circumstances Llanally. who played superior football, de- serve to be congratulated. ALFOR,DIS CLEVER TRY. The Machynis team on Saturdav tried conclusions with the Albians on the New Dock Stars' Field. The match was the outcome of a challenge given by the Albions which was quickly accepted, Machynis rrdchin" a fixture with Llangennech for the purpose. The Alhioivs found < hems?lves worsted by a team which excelled in every phase of the play, Machy- nis winning by three goals, one try to one I try. The scorers for the winners were: EHery, J. Richards, J, Roberts and Alford: It should be mentioned that the try scored by Alford was the tit-bit of the match, the scorer giving the dummy to no less than si x opponents, tfte- which he romped over the line and placed the ball between the posts. CLEVER BACKS. The Machynis backs were in fine form. bringing about round after round ofl passing. Where all played so well jt would be hard to individualise. Practi- cally the same side was selected by Machyirs to p!ay the benefit match to- J day against Dick Edmunds' team. For the, Aiuions A. Richards w&6 th sbr. In good company he would. be bound to show up to even.better advantage, 33 he is every inch a footballer. ATHLETE'S DEATH. Local sportsmen learnt with the deepest rfigret the news that Lieut. Iioscoe Samuel j had been killed in action in Mesopotamia. While at the Intermediate School, the young subaltern took a leading part in all | games, and was a reliable Rugbyite and cricketer. During the time he was in the Army he assisted his Divisional Rugby team. SEVEN TO SIX. A -Soccer match' between the Corinthians and the Arcadians resulted in a win for the latter by seven goals to six. SKATING. Eight years have elapsed since such facilities wort afforded locally of indulging in skating. The I'urnaco pond, easily the best in the district, had an exceptionally fine t'iickiless of ice for ever a weak, and a number of skaters were to be eeen daily making evolutions—graceful and other- wise. At Llanelly, however, there are comparatively few devotees of this pastime but this is not surprising, cecing that the opportunities offered ;are so very rare.

" HYMN OF HATE" I
HYMN OF HATE" I PIAYEDTG ENCOURAGE IKVEST08S Iti THE I 7. WAR LOAN TYPICAL BRITISH JOKE I Tho music of the famous German I Hymn of Hate was played in public in London on Friday for the first time, by I the band of the Coldstream Guards, out- side tho Royal Exchange, and just oppo- site the Bank of England, tho head- quarters of the great War Loan.. It was just the kind of British joke which the Huns are never able to under-* stand, for it was played to encourage people to go and invest their money in the l War Loan: Thousands of people as- ¡ sembled to hear it, and when the playing t was finished they gave a groat shout of laughter. It was a pity that the Germans ¡ could not hear that laugh. I TLt, Lord Mayor marched in state from the Mansion House across to the steps of the Royal Exchange and made a brief speoch exhorting overy one to support the War Loall: The crowd filled the space outside the Exchange, and the windows of the "buildings all round were filled with onlookers. By way of introduction to the dose of Hun Hate, the. Guards' band entei tained the crowd with a giant hotch-potch of British Cheerfulness in the form of a med- ley of dozens of airs which have been popular during the past twenty years. Altogether, it was one of Wie most jovial hours the City has had since the war began, and there were cheers for Captain I Mackenzie Rogan, th<> veteran band- master, when tho Land marched away. BONAR LAW AT LIVERPOOL. I Mr. Bonar Law, speaking at Liverpool on Friday night, said the financial strain i of the war was very severe, and expendi- ture en the present scale could not go on I for ever. We-ouzht to be sure that our financial resources would last us long after those of our enemies had ceased to sup- port them. He could not at this stage say to v."h • t an extent the new War Loan would be a success. But he could say to- day that it v, oul(I not be a failure. The audience received this declaration with great cheering, all standing. The new outrjreak of piracy was showing that. to Germaus. humanity and murder meant the .same thing.. Tlieir. creed was, Evil, be thou my good." But this policy would Dot succeed in the long run. The greatest of the .neutral nations had now broken off relations with the German Em- pire. President Wilson had been com- pelled to act in the interests of civilisa- tion, and there could be no bettor proof and testimony that we were in the right than the action taken by the Government of the tTnited States. HERO'S REWARD FOR LOAN. For exceptional bravery at a fire in Rampayne-strcet, Westminster, Sab-Offi- cer J. J. Moore, London Fire Brigade, has had his name placed on the roll of honour of the Carnegie Hero Fund, from which he has also received an honorary certifi- cate and £10. At the suggestion of the trust he has invested the money in the War Loan. SWANSEA DRAPER'S INVESTMENT.
