Exterminating Ants.
Ants are. a pest and once they get
in the garden and house it is difficult
to get rid of .them.
Ants always invade the pantry and
kitchen. Attraction in the way of
food -and food preparation exists for
them.
. '
Ants dislike moisture, and the fre-
quent ,and liheial use of soapy water
upon woodwork, window sills, door
frames, and so forth, will do much to
• keep the pest at bay.
When ants have established them-
selves however, strong measures must
be taken against them.
One that is effective is the use of
kerosene. This is, in many ways, ole-
Sjectionable inside the house, especially
• where there is faod to become tainted;
the penetrating odor of this kerosene
is not a pleasant thing to have around
the *try. Still it is a killer and a
certain banisher where ants are con-
cerned. •
„ Turpentine is another geed thing to
put on pantry shelves, for no insect
• can live through it. Frequent appli-
cations by means of a paint brush
_upon any part of the house that is
attacked by ants will prove efficaeious
in keeping them away.
Close up all cracks in floors if your
house be old, for in just such dry
Spots they breed, and the most im-
portant point to be noted is that the
ant seeks something in a state of dry
Mt to band its nest. • So kill the eggs
• by cleaning out such places.
Mending for Boys.
-When it is necessary to put a patch
on the knees of overalls, coveralls or
underwear, try doing It this way:
• Cut the garment from the hem to a
place a few inches above where the
patch is needed. Make the cut about
ene-half an inch from the inside seam.
The garment pay then be laid fiat and
• the patch sewed in place with the ma-
chine. The leg is then seamed up.
Antra dread task is quickly and easily
done.
Patches That Match.
When making kitchen aprons ,make
the string longer and wider than is
necessary, then when a patch is need-
ed cut off a piece of the apron string

II. EXPERIENCE EVENTUATES IN NNW
RECOGNITIONS, 1548. •
INTRODUCTION—We have seen that
Peter in his work for God was led, by
experience rather than by the posses -
mien. of a far-reaching Princilite. He
did not see at the beginning, that the
salvation of Christ was intended, not
merely for the Jews, but fer the wider
world. A great dividing -wall existed
in his thought between the Jew and
the Gentile. Yet, step by step, 4)1'vision and obedience and further di-
vine diseovery, he was led' forward
until he grasped the great principle
of Christ for the world.
In the present lessou, Peter explains
to the Chuech at Jerusalem one great
experience of this kind. It concerns
the course which he was led to take
in the case of Cornelius, the devout
officer of the Itoinan garrison at Cm-
sarea. Peter was led to deceive Cor-
nelius and his entire household into
the Church by baptisni. His action in
this matter was aiticized by conserva-
tive Christians at Jerusalem, who 'did
not know the circintstanees under
which he Doted, and Peter describes
for their benefit the whole history of
the case, beginning with the vision at
Joppa and coming down to the descent
of the Spirit on the assembled house-
hold at Cassarea.

Hies. The Junior Institute layettes
and other gifts have been a wonderful
help. Quilts and other bedding are
etill needed and may be sent direct
to Miss' Orton, Home Branch of S.S.B.,
32 Adelaide St. 'East, Toronto, for
distribution. Names of :those in need,
with the description of the family, will
be sent to any Institute willing to send
reading matter to individual settlers.
In some cases this is a very real need."
"The Institutes have been very
helpful in my work," said a police
woman and immigration officer at the
Sault in a Northern Convention,
"especially in the follow-up and wel-
fare work."
The members, too, centinue to show
tangible evidence that they are not
forgetting our disabled soldiers in
their various institutioes.
It would be impossible to tell of all
the large -hearted and truly patirotic
work being dope along immigration
lines, but these few examples will suf
fice to show the trend of Branch
activity during the year.
The Ontario Hostel Committee re-
ceives the young avomen coming in for
domestic service under government di-
rection. Almost none of these go to,
or if they do, stay in the country. It
might be worth while for the Insti-
tutes to make a study of the causes
of this the. coming year and present
to the chairman a schedule of what
wages the average country housekeep-
er who desired help would be able to
pay. In diseussing this matter with
a member of the British delegation,
which under Mhes Margaret Bondfield,
M.P., visited Canada on an inveetigat-
ing tour of conditions, the suggestion
was brought forward for considera-
tion by the Institutes, that little girls,
young enough for adoption, be select-
ed in Britain and sent to approved
country homes here. Your committee
would commend this to your thought-
ful attention, and discussion.
A communication from the office of
the Deputy Minister of Immiggation
and Colonization, states that up to
August 31st, 1924, 42,623 persons des-
tined for Ontario were admitted, 9,-

V. 5. The vision, which prepared
for the mission to Csesarea, came to
Peter while he was staying at Joppa.
joppa was a seaport city, and its
streets would contain, besides Jews, a
miscellaneous aggregate of seamen
and traders from all the heathen
lands around the Mediterranean. It
may have been that Peter was reflect-
ing on this medley of peoples and
tongues, and that these reflections in
turn had something te do with his
vision. Visions generally concern the
things which are uppermost in our
minds. However that may be, Peter
was praying at the time; and, falling i
into a deep reverie or trance, n whieh
his immediate surroundings were for-
gotten, he saw what seemed like a
great sheet being let down from the
sky by four corners, right to the place
where he was.
V. 6. Peter's astonished eyes discov-
er within the mysterious sheet a -mot-
ley collection of quadrupeds, domestic
and wild, also reptiles and birds,
which he immediately recognizes to
be forbidden for food purposes by the
Jewish law. The animals are those
which the Old Testament pronounces
to be unclean.
Vs. 7, 8. So when the voice conies,
"Rise, Peter, kill and eat," Peter pro-
tests, saying in effect that aa a loyal
Jew, faithful to the law, he has never
transgressed the food regulations, or
eaten anything "common or unclean,"
that is, anything with a ban upon it
Vs. 9, 10. But the voice conies again
from the sky: "What God has cleans-
ed, thou must not call common." This
was very startling, for it seemed to
imply that God had abrogated the
laws dividing the clean from the un-
clean, and by consequence the Jew
from the Gentile. And as the whole
ProceediM were thrice repeated, a
very great impreseion was left on
Peter's mind, What did it all signify?
Did it mean that Peter WAS IlOs longer
to draw a lite between the Jewish
people and those other races and ton-
ues which he beheld before him in
°plait? The explanation is soon forth-
coming.
Vs. 11, 12. At that moment three
men from Csesarea present themselves
at the Street -door. They are a depu-
tation from Cornelius, the Gentile
centurian Csarea, who, in rests
ponse to a -vision, is desiroue of steee
ing Peter. Peter at once recognizes
the Point of his own vision, "The
Spirit bade rite go with them, making
no distinction," and Peter sets out for
Ciesarea accompanied. by six brethren,
• Vs. 13, 14. At Csesarea Cornelius re-
lates how he was moved by e. vision
to send for Peter because, he said, It
was impressed upon his Mind that
Peter had a message from God which
would just fit his neechof 'salvation.

Cornelius' house, the Holy Spirit fell
upon the company, reminding Peter

V. 16. And at that moment there
came into Peter's mind the great
word of Jesus about his disciples be-
ing baptized, no longer with water
like John's converts, but -with the Holy
Spirit.
V. 17. So Peter argued—and right:
ly—that since God had, by bestowing
the Spirit, showed that he recopized
no difference between these foreigners
and Jews, neither ought he, as a
Christian man, to refuce baptism to
them. To refuse would be to oppose
the clear will of God.
V. 18. It shows the Christian wis-
dom of the church at Jerusalem that,
after hearing Peter's statement, they
made no further objection. On the
contrary, they gave praise' to God,
recognizing the principle that God, by
his own act, had included Gentiles as
well as Jews in the offer of eternal
life to all who repented.
• The whole incident supplies a clear
case of the great " apostle and the
Church, being taught by experienee
that God had a wider purpose and
destiny for the Christian religion than
they with their loyal and faithful, but
nevertheless, narrow and tiraid, con-
servatism towards the past were will-
ing to allow. The people of the Church
of Christ need faith and constant
readiness for new tasks, as well as
tenacious attachment to past tradi-
tions an customs. We see very clear -
1 Y here how God seeks to lift us up
• above the distinetions of class and
race into a new appreciation of hie -
minty, and hew enly a truly great-
hearted religion and a readiness to
obey the promptings of the Spirit are
capable of leading us onveards to the
goal. Not tradition, but the Spirit,
must be our guide. However good the
past may be, "faith, hope, charity" are
the principles whieh must direct and
advance our actions.
Land Settlement Branch, 3,000 British
agricultural families were expected in
the spring of 1925. Under this plan
the services of the Land Settlement
Branch wi11 be available at all times
to assist the newcomers to success, but
it is quite possible that the local Wo-
men's Institute would co-operate with
the District Office of the Land Set-
tlement Branch in a valuable' way in
the direction of welfare. work, once
the newcomers are established.
It the opinion of thoughtful people,
the most valuable immigrants and
those requiring the greatest amount
of attention and help, are still the ones,
who come to Ontario via the Canadian
cradle. Consequently, ty far the chief I
concern of the members, judging from I
branch, district, and convention re-
ports, is to secure the best resulta in
the' feeding, clothing, housing awl,
education of Canada's native born in
their own homes and commodities. We
are glad to be able to report, there -
fere, steady advancement in the
science of home -making, provision for
sound recreation, and closer and more
• intelligent co-operation with the
schools and health authorities and the
raising of the general standard of
„health and morals of our people.
The Cream Separator.
Many times we have a poor quality
of eepara.ted cream and milk, or it
sours quiekly, and We wotder what
the cause is. It may often be traced
to a cream separater improperly cared
for.
It should always be carefully wash-
ed, but in warm -weather this is espe-
cially necessary. As soon as the sep-
arator stops running, it should be
taken apart and washed at once. The
milk is still warm and easily rinses
off, whereas if we wait too long it
sets making it harder to clean.
viash in cool water first to rinse off
the milk; hot water will net It, Then
it should be washed in hot water eon -
tabling washing powder or oda, Fin-
ally it should be sealded and dried.
If possible it should be placed in the
sun, as that le the best way to kill
any germs which might remain. Treat
milk pails and Cans tho same way.
A good way to keep the strainer
clean is to rub coarse :salt through it
once a week, This will remove say
particles which have k dged in the
iscreen.

ately at least twice a week, and if
treated as stated they will not be hard
to keep clean.
Better Buttonholer,.
Buttonholes that break and stretch
out of shape in underwear and shirts
are soon mended to stay if you work
around them—not too closely—first
taking a stitch from end to end, then
working over that long stitch on each
side. With boys' ehirtwaists and
underwear it is an especial comfort.
Done when the garment is new, it
saves endless mending.
When sewing buttons on the gar-
ment, before laying it aside after you
sew the buttons on in the usual way,
just go back once through each but-
ton, not cutting the thread bet leav-
ing it attached from button to button.
If the button loosens you will find in
nine cases out of ten it is still there
to be sewed on again, for the extra
thread holds it.
Birds eat red urants before they
do white ones. Why not remember this
when platting, if birds take your
fruit? The same holds for red and
green gooseberries.
