He bought the vase and put it on the mantel in his room. / There it became a kind hf judgment on his surioundings. He had to clean up the room to make it worthy of the vase. The curtains looked dingy beside it. the seat would not do Gradually the whole room was transformed. . . » the brightest rays of hope for the human family is that good- as contagious as evil.

A reader says that the long roots are cleaned, scraped, and cut into small sections which are dried till brown in a warm oven, These are rolled and used as coffee, Alone or in part,, chicory is a very common coffee substitute. And by the way, we have been trying out one of the grain mixtures sold for the same purpose, ” We found that if one part of real coffee was used with three parts of the sub a very palaU able beverage was obtained. ? # * * * THE BEES DEMONSTRATE PROPER FEEDING Church Meetings *. * * jfanies St* W.M.S* “Christian Homes” was the sub­ ject for study at the October meet­ ing of the James St, W.M.S. and. was introduced by Mrs. Irwin. Such homes are the basis of a Christian nation. From the homes will come our future citizens and so the Can­ ada we hope and pray for will be as the homes. Are all the homes in our community Christian? If not, why not, and what are we doing about it? The marks of a Chris­ tian home were pointed out to be af­ fection, religion, family fellowship* constructive criticism, good litera­ ture and exemplary conduct ents. The home and the need each other, neither can or survive without the other member was asked to consider her self a missionary of labor., There were 24 at the meeting, ceived from the correspondin; rotary and Christian stewardship. The community friendship secretary made 13 calls and the visiting com­ mittee 32 calls. It was arranged to have as many members as pos­ sible attend the sectional rally at Elimville, Mrs. Cook’s group will meet at Mrs. Horney’s on Friday afternoon, October 30 th, to prepare the program for the next meeting. The president, Mrs. J. M. South- cott, gave a splendid report on, the summer school at Alma College. Mrs. McGregor’s group1 took charge of zthe meeting with the leader in the chair. Mrs. Gunning sang a solo. The meeting closed with hymn and prayer. and this her field members present Reports were re- •g sec- $ * NEW ZEALAND OfOne of the interesting events the-“week was the opening of the new Mothercraft Hospital in To­ ronto. Officiating at the ceremony, Hon. F. Langstone, New Zealand's High Commissioner, scored the apathy of the Canadian public in regard to the high rate of infant mortality in this country where 64 out of ev cry linn dred children die in infancy. He told how, through what are known as the Plunket So­ cieties, a system of Mothercraft and ' baby-welfare has been established ■throughout New Zealand, and That the government had arranged Ma­ ternity Benefits, available to every mother, whereby doctors’ and nurses’ fees were paid tor from the fund. No baby needs to be born in an at­ mosphere of fear and worry. Nine­ ty-nine out of every hundred New- Zealand mothers had taken advan­ tage of this scheme. Children born under this system are happy, healthy and contented, he added. A child of three months has been found to be more advanced under the new system than a child o.f six months under the old. “If little New Zea­ land can do these things, then her big, wealthy sis,ter Dominion of Canada can do even better,” said Mr. Langstone. & # * * Long ago men learned the value of certain foods in the raising of stock and hogs, but the human race was neve^ given the same care, We ate as we pleased without regard to the body’s .development, and so brought upon ourselves a host of ills. Yet Nature has always point­ ed the way to more intelligent con-1 duct. Take bees, for example. They raise their young not on the sweet honey but on bee-bread, prepared from the pollen of flowers. Research has proven this to be almost pure Vitamin B. Moreover they can take a female from the hive, segregate her, and feed her on a special diet of “royal jelly”. In this manner they force her growth to many times the size of the “worker” bee, and at the same time provide her with an amazing repfoductory system that insures the continuity of the hive. At the time of his death it was said that Dr, Banting was studying this “royal jelly”. The bees h'ave taught us many things, but the end is not yet.* # * * * Mary had a frying pan; a kettle and, a pot; very seldom used ’em for she ate outside a lot. , gave them for the land’s de­ fence— • when a bomber wings But She AND STILB WE COMPLAIN Now Its way o’erhead she claps her hands And cries: “There go * * * KETTLE AND *my things!” * PAN Even boys and girls are mobilized ten are has air in Britain.

More than 44,000 civilians have been killed and more than fifty thousand injured. One thousand were killed in April of this year. Working time lost in labour dis­ putes in Britain is less than one hour per person per year. * * * * sl> CHRISTMAS OVERSEAS more than eleven pounds parcels to British Parcels to Canadian forces at a military address overseas must not weigh when packed forces, not more than five pounds. There are special cartons available for overseas mailing, or you might use a shoebox or any lightweight container. Don’t waste any space, might use cleansing tissues for pack­ ing. Fill the corners with knitted articles, toilet paper, handkerchiefs, individually wrapped coffee or tea bags. Avoid bulky things—*they’re pot only a nuisance in the mail,, but the boys shave little place -to put them once they arrive. If you are anxious to send some small fragile item, you might take a hint from the lady who packed one in a bed of marshmallows; As an extra precaution for safe delivery, address the parcel in more than one place and write the unit in full rather than in an abbreviated form. Oije woman tells us she sews all het parcels in factory cotton and writes the address on the cotton in indelible ink. Then she -puts on an outer paper wrapping and repeat's the address,—R.S.: Her parcels get there! ♦ ♦ * 9 *if$ $ « » # $ # « KITCHEN KTNKH little mustard sprinkled the dish-water will remove or if A in any odour from, 'dishes* rubbed dry on the hands will free them from the -taint of on* ions, fish, etc, sji #####*# # « # # * * ** ** this(All recipes appearing column will be patterned with such restrictions as imposed by the rationing ’-or other commodities).

Mrs. Phyllis Turner, oils and fats administrator of the, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, asks you to use it wherever possible instead of butter, She says there is a surplus of lard now as a large part of ft is produced from the fat of hogs, and the number of hogs being raised is increasing every day, In regard, to the above, note that when lard or. shortening takes the place of butter, slightly less should be used. »** 7577 <j» 77 Years of Security to Policyowners New Books at the Hensail Library w Fiction And Now, Tomorrow Surgeon in Charge Frenchman’s Creek ...

The offering was then received and it was decided to make a donation towards the Christ­ mas parcels for our boys" overseas. The Scripture lesson was read al­ ternately .from.
