There is a perfume shortage In the land of perfume, Just as there is a shortage of everything else from gasoline to bed-, springs. Perfumers are working i overtime to devise ways of rationing the short supplies to scent-loving French and yet find enough to supply thousands of American soldiers whose one big gift Idea is a bottle of famous-name liquid to send to the folks back home. The American trade In Paris Is important now, because it .OINUINl ASPIRIN IS V Becoming more popular every day keeps trade names before the overseas public which before the war constituted a number one perfume market. As queues of combat-booted, khakl-unlformed soldiers wait patiently in and outside shops with names like Chanel, Guer-laln, Lelong, Paquin, Molyneux, Mlllot, Renoir, businessmen on upper floors wrestle with the unromantic problem of getting together the necessary ingredients for the product. Male -Musk Deer Are Hard to Gel They are having nightmares about the shortage, for Instance, of musk, the heady basis for many expensive perfumes. Musk is obtained from an abdominal sac of the male musk Deer which Is found only in China and Indochina, countries from which luxury exports are, at the moment, 'less than negligible. Tne same goes for fragrant sandalwood, wax -like ambergris, spicy ilangilang flowers, all of which must come from the Orient, and none of which are coming. The French stockpile is non-existent and there are no adequate chemical substitutes. Then, added to that, the perfume-flower crop of southern France Jasmine, orange blossoms, tuberose, rose, lavender and rosemary fell far short of expectatfons this year. All this adds up to the high price of high-powered scents. A tiny bottle of good perfume In a plain bottle (there's a glass shortage, too) costs well over $20 Including the government's 33 per cent luxury tax.

CANADIANS NEED FOOD KNOWLEDGE Advances Made in Nutrition Should be'Useclby Housewives In Peace as Well TORONTO, 0) The average Canadian housewife gained valuable information about food during the war. She knows more than she ever did before about food values and balanced meals, and she has also learned how to make lower grades and less interesting types of food palatable. This knowledge improves her family's health and helps the budget. There is a great ,questlon, however, about how much of tills newly acquired wisdom will stick. The need for better nutritional health among Canadian people was not Just a war emergency. When the number of men turned down by the draft because of defects directly traceable to nutrlonal deficiencies h considered., it .is appreciated how little Canadians knew about proper 'feeding 'before the war began. There are, and always have been, people in .Canada who do not-Ret enough to, eat. Even today 50 iper cent of the people can't pattern all their eating habits after the "basic seven" 'food.ivwe've heard sovmuch about because they can't afford it. That doesn't necessarily mean that thev are suffering from malnutrition, however. There are several Hinds of hunge.r, "Hidden hunger," which comes from not getting the proper nutrients n diet, has become a familiar term. Then there's "hollow .hunger," which comes from eating Insufficient food. The rest of the world -is suffering from that In far greater proportion than Canadians are. Last of all, there's "humdrum hunger," which is brought on bv housewives and cooks who care too little about their Jobs to contribute imagination and variety to the food they feed their families.

"Balanced starvation is better than unbalanced plenty," he said. Poor balance. In diet Is far more likely to cause pathology than is the right food In tpo little' quantity. .A good deal has been learned about nutrition. And the knowledge shouldn't be abused now that things are .getting back to normal. Mothers who have this essential knowledge should use it to good advantage if they wish to have well-nourished, happy families. There's scarecly a housewife who hasn't learned during the war years a great d-:al more than she ever knew before about marketing. Now some are apt to have more -money than they have had in a long time. But that's fcno reason for forgetting the economic lessons learned of necessity. IV s possible to avoid all hungers hidden, hollow, and hum-drum if the housewife knows her business as a planner, a buyer and a cook, BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Most annual flowers will stand transplanting, and If sown in the house, or in a greenhouse, hot-bed or clod frame, weeks before It is possible to sow them outdoors, they will begin to flower much earlier than otfier-wlse when moved to the garden. Asters, petunias and snapdragons especially should have this early start, because they are slow to germinate and mature. In setting out plants rather than sowing seeds direct there Is another advantage, which lies in the placing of plants. Since flowers are .usually planted in borders, rather than in- rows, and often must be placed between established plants, it is not easy to be sure of growing plants from seed In exactly the desired location. Another advantage is that thinning ' out plants becomes unnecessary and seed thus goes much farther. Many flowers have very small seed, which must not be covered banquet put on for their g after a sumptuous ell during Christmas week, In the Knights of to a musical program designee, ior meu ost 2,000 years.
