Impatience, fussiness, ingratitude, are merely ac companiments of the disease, and therefore she must not allow herself any personal reactions to such exhibitions of temperament, wouldn’t it be a good thing if we could apply this same sane rule in pur attitude to those who are suffering from soul-sickness? I know of a family which • was seriously divided because of a chance happening at the funeral of a beloved, mother. There had been long weeks of strain, sleeplessness, fatigue, which had. left the members of the family with frayed nerves and worn-out bodies, no more to be considered responsible than if they were actually nt It would save many a heartache if we would stop to con sider conditions and ignore or forgive any (peculiarities of conduct that arise from such emotional crises. t -The Missus Make me too brave to lie or be un kind, Make me too understanding, to mind The little hurts companions and friends, The careless hurts that no one intends.

They need to them, for they encourage construc tive thinking. In order to main tain the normally healthy, inquisi tive mental state which is every child’s birthright, a wide range of subject matter is essential.

Family coupons are interchangeable, which means that if you have two child ren, like I have, pne over four and one under, you can sort them out to the best advaxxtage for both. The biggest difficulty for women, as far as I see it, is that stockings need two coupons a pair, and handker chiefs one coupon for two. This means you cannot have many of either, and however good and ex7 pensive are the stockings that you buy, they won’t last very long. « » . * SAINTS AND HEROES “No saint, no hero, no discoverer, no prophet, no leader, ever did his work cheaply^and easily, comfortab ly and painlessly, and no people was ever great which did not pass through the valley of the shadow of death on its way to greatness.-” —Walter Lippman. * * ♦ * KETTLE AND PAN To And feed upon the magic of our care grow into the statures of true men women—grand, upright tall And lovfely to behold;” and WHAT IS FASHION?

'^1 from thf war sav|ngsyj COMMITTEE, OTTAWA f •o’ J The people of Canada are the most fortunate in the world. Fortunate in the great sweep of space that is ours from ocean to ocean. Fortunate in the vast yield and immense resources of our forests, fields and mines. ^Fortunate, loo, in our democratic insti tutions. In a word, fortunate in our freedom. This freedom is threatened today as it has never been threatened before. The fall of the British Empire would ’ mean complete dislocation of our un fettered way .of life. Everyone wants this way of life defended —this freedom saved—for our own future and for posterity. The response to every appeal for our defence has been mag- ■” nificent—heartening to the whole Empire —alarming to Hitler. But the need for weapons of war grows ever more urgent, as the Nazi threat spreads wider over the world. The help %of every Canadian is needed for Victory. In these days of war the thoughtless, selfish spender is a traitor to our. war effort. A reduction in personal spending is now a vital necessity to relieve the pressure for goods, to enable more and more labour and mater** ials to be diverted to winning the war. The all-put effort, which Canada must make, demands this self-denial’ of each of us. Invest in War Savings Certificates the dollars you don’t need to spend. After Victory, they come-back to you with interest. Spend less NOW So that you can spend more THEN, when labour and materials will be available for the things you need. There, is no price too high for freedom. four Simple Regular Methods of Saving • PAYROLL SAVINGS PLAN—For salary and wage earn- ers. The employee simply signs a Payroll Savings Pledge, turns it in to his pay office, and his employer deducts the pledged amount regularly front his pay, BANK PLEDGE PLAN — Convenient for business meil and women, arid others, not on a payroll.

Stamp folders may be obtained from Post Offices, Banks and many retail outlets, 16 stamps will buy one $4 Certificate, worth. $5 at maturity. RURAL SAVINGS PLMl-Ft&mers in receipt of regular payments from co-operatives, creameries, cheese factories, etc., can authorize deductions of any desired amount regularly but of each cheque, Use ,the Rural Pledge Card. i SUPPORT THE WAR WEAPONS DRIVE IN YOUR COMMUNITY Every town and city in Canada will soon conduct aoWar Weapons Drive. You will be asked to put» all you’ve got behind the campaign in your community. Canada must provide more planes, more ships, more tanks, more guns, more shells.
