flowers and weeds
With the ctrcunistaxxces of wav cutting off the supply of artificial
amusements to which we have accustomed ourselves, we once more have
time to notice some of the beauty that lies about us, and learn to enjoy
simple things. Beginning now, in “the sweet o’ the year , let us pause

Many of these we class as weeds. But what is a weed? It is, so^ur
as I can see, simply a plant for which we have not yet found a use. The
sweet, white clover was once a weed, and on the other.hand, * teazel, which
a generation ago was cultivated wherever knxttnig mills exisited fox use
in carding wool, lias now become a real weed. Perhaps there may yet
•be found a use for the wild carrot. Upon closer examination some better
dualities may emerge from the commonness of these eyery-day flowers,
and we must admit at the outset that beauty is in itself invaluable.

SOAP USEFUL IN MANY WAYS

Pastors and delegates attending
the Canada Conference of the Evan
gelical Church in Zurich were given
an official welcome at a banquet
in the basement of Emmanuel Evan
gelical church- The addresses of
welcome were given by Mr. Meliek,
who represented the church, and
George Armstrong, reeve of Hay
Township and • warden of Huron
County. Rev. C. B. Heckendom, the
Zurich pastor, was chairman and
the response was made by Bishop
Epp. Mr. Meliek, in stressing the
welcome to the pastors and dele
gates, mentioned the fact that sev
eral members of the Lutheran church
offered their homes for night lodg
ings to visiting pastors and dele
gates.
Mr. Armstrong, thanking the con
gregation for the honoi’ of welcom
ing the conference members on be
half of Huron County, outlined the
many industries, charitable insti

It is amazing the numbei- of ways
an ordinary bar of soap can be used.
For example, a cake of soap makes
an excellent pin cushion, serving
the double purpose of keeping the
pins from getting lost and lubricat
ing them at the same time. Pins
and needles occasionally stuck into
a bai’ of soap will slide more easily
in and out of stiff and heavy fabrics.
Soap makes an excellent lubri
cant for screws, making them much
easier to -drive into hard wood.
Nails also need less pounding if
they are first rubbed with soap,
and the wood into which, they are
driven will be less likely to split.
If wet soap is rubbed into the
hands and scratched under nails
and allowed to dry before a dirty
job it attempted, the accumulated
grime will be much easier to wash
off. No dirt will penetrate beyond
soap under the nails.
Soap can be used to stop a run;
in silk stockings. Moisten the cor-1*
ner of a cake of soap and rub it over
the run.
