Do you ever slip into his room, So quiet now, so clean, so cool, And through the shades of twilight gloom Glimpse skates and boxing gloves, each tool Piled on a shelf—a bat, a ball, A tennis racket; over all. The scent of shaving soaps and creams, Thv goal of earl y boyhood dreams -- To think of hi'n, your boy at school! And if a mother's heart you bear, His room becomes a hallowed place, And ere you think of leaving there You kneel beside his bed; your face Is pillowed where so oft his own Has lain, your boy so lately grown Into a man; and from your soul There throbs a prayer; in calm control You plead before the Throne of Grace: 0 God of mother hearts, whose boys Have gone from home to school or shop, Where once their whistling, romping noise— A silence, as if life would stop! Be with them, God of tenderness; As they are thine, their young lives bless, And in temptation's trying hour Give them of thine all-conqu'ring power; 0 God of love, be with our boys. MEASLES HERE! The child who has contracted measles will probably break out with the rash fourteen days after the time of exposure. But he will show the! first signs of illness three or four days before the eruption appears, and as this pre -eruptive stage is one of the most critical periods of the child's illness he must be under care- ful supervision from the very start. Nine or ten days after exposure the child who has contracted measles will begin to show signs of "a cold." If the little one develops a cough, running nose, and watery eyes, keep him at home in a room that is just comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold. If he has fever keep him in bed. If the trouble is measles the rash will probably come out in four days, but bear in mind that this is not a rule without exceptions. I have seen cases in which the rash has de- layed a full week without the child being the worse for the delay. The rash of measles is first de- tected inside the mouth and throat. You may see it on the soft palate and the mucous membrane of the cheeks thirty-six hours before it comes on the skin. When it breaks out It generally begins on the face and around the ears and is blotchy instead of uniform. A fine, uniform rash ap- pearing first on the chest, indicates scarlet fever, but a blotchy, rough- looking rash that comes out first on the face and has with It some swell - AERO CUSHION INNER TIRES Composed of Pure Para Rub- ber, Highly Porous.

Do not make the mistake of cutting all air and light in the room. Keep the room at a temperature of about 70 degrees. Shade the windows enough to remove strain from the eyes but do not make the room really dark. Be careful to see that the pa- tient does not face a window. Do not make him uncomfortably warm by too much bedding. All that is needed is to keep the skin at a comfortable temperature. Remember that the great complication of measles is broncho -pneumonia and when you overheat your patient you are giving that disease an invitation. In the ordinary cases the rash goes away about as quickly as it came— three or four days. The fever comes up just preceding the outbreak of the rash and drops as it becomes fully developed. In a week the patient may be up in a warm room if all has gone well. It is always well to have medical care for measles but is espe- cially important if complications occur.

Do the cook- ing there and eat there. Make it your summer kitchen." Five years ago, when herhouse was built, the basement was finished as carefully as the rest of the house. It was divided into four big rooms— kitchen, fruit cellar, storeroom and furnace room. The wails were plas- tered throughout and the woodwork and doors were painted gray. The kitchen is 25x15 feet, extending the width of the house, with windows facing east and west. The west end of the room is used as a dining -xoom. Here is found, be- sides the long table and chairs, an old-fashioned bookcase with two com- fortable rockers. A twelve -foot square of linoleum softens the cement floor, and on the shelf beneath the neatly curtained windows are an old- fashioned clock and a couple of plants. All woodwork and furniture in the room are painted a cool gray, and touches of color are introduced in the book 'bindings, the rocker -cushions and the bowl of flowers or fruit that usually graces the dining table. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. Great responsibility is placed to- day upon the woman who is handling the food which is to furnish physical fitness, good health and give the hu- man being sufficient energy to go forth to their daily business so that they, too, may be able to conquer the world. You see about you the ailing folks suffering from many digestive ail- ments that would speedily disappear if the housewife would make a study of foods and the proper methods of cooking so as to conserve the nutri- tive value, as well as appearance, of the food. Banish the thought th • t anything. will do for a meal and give the plan- ,ning of a menu special th aught as to its value in muscle, bone and struc- ture building; also that it will furnish sufficient energy and heat to enable each member of the family to be 100 per cent. efficient. Make it a habit to have each day, two, if not three times, some succu- lent green food that has not been touched by heat. This means some uncooked food served in salad form. ICE FOR THE PICNIC; During cold weather, a cold drink is usually preferred to a hot one for the picnic lunch. "But a piece of ice is always so bulky and melty and messy to carry in the car," someone is -certain to object. True, a vacuum bottle will keep cold things cold; the only objection being insufficient capacity. The simplest solution seems to be to chip the ice and pack it in vacuum bottles. Two bottles will hold,' suffi- cient ice to furnish cold drinks during the day for half a dozen or more per- sons. To get full capacity, fill the bottles with ice water when they will contain no more ice. If a pure water supply is assured at one's destination, the problem is still further simplified, as concentrat- ed fruit juices or very strong tea may easily be carried to be diluted and chilled whenevr someone gets thirsty. The best rule for successful picnick- ing icnicking is "plenty to eat and drink but as little luggage as possible." Rare Variety of Game Fish Being Introduced Into New LOCKING UP.

At the request of a number of pub- lic bodies of St. John, New Brunswick, the Department of Marine and Fish- eries undertook to establish the Euro- pean browntrout in loch Lomond near St. John. The first eggs for this pur- pose were obtained in January, 1921, from the United States Bureau of Fisheries. A small number of the fry from these eggs have been retained In the ponds at the hatchery, and in the autumn of 1923, when the fish were a little over two years old, .a few of the larger and better developed yielded some 5,000 eggs, which are undergo- ing incubation. The eggs of the brown trout are not easily obtained in Ameri- ca, and in continuation of the stocking of loch Lomond, some 200,000 Lock Leven trout eggs, a variety closely re- lated to the brown trout, were obtain- ed through the United States Bureau of Fisheries in exchange for Atlantic salmon eggs. The Loch Leven trout eggs were secured from wild trout captured in the streams of Montana and are the result of small distribu- tions of such fry made some years ago. An equal number of Loch Leven trout eggs are undergoing incubation in the Banff hatchery, and the result- ant fry will be distributed in selected waters of the Prairie Provinces.

PART III, Barry had been watching with his head cocked to, one side and his eyes shining. He knew how to do that, and he did wish that the father would call his name. "Barry!" the father called at last, with no idea that he would understand what was wanted, but Barry walked up to him with his utmost dignity and offered his paw. "Good boy!" cried the father, and patted the dog's head. This was one of the tricks that the children in Berne had taught him and he was delighted to show what he could do. The days were full, but the kind young monk did not fail to write to Carl, and before many months had passed he wrote: "Barry found Ms first traveler in the snow last night and persuaded him to rouse himself and push on to the Hospice. This is the first time that a dog with so short a training has done such a thing," "Barry knew how it felt to be lost," said Carl to himself. Another time the monk wrote: "A group of peasants were over- whelmed by an avalanche. The grown people were killed, but Barry found one little girl still alive though badly bruised. Somehow he made her understand that she must lie on his back and put her arms around his neck; and what a proud little lay brother he was when he brought her safely home! How he ever thought of getting her on his back I do not know. He had not yet been taught that." When Carl read the letter, he smil- ed. "We know,, don't we, Barry?" he said to himself. "More than one of our little girl friends has had a ride on your back, and you learned just how to crouch so they could get on easily." At length there came a letter which said "Barry is our finest dog. He has saved in all the lives of forty persons. He is happy, but sometimes he goes to the edge of the cliff and stands gazing down the long and winding path. I believe that he is thinking of you. Will you not come and visit us?" The hand that wrote this trembled, and now there were no more letters, for the young monk had died. There were no long lives on the Pass of St. Bernard. He who gave himself up to the work of saving lost travelers knew well that his days would be few. Now that Carl had no more news of the dog, he thought of him even oftener, and before long he and his friend, Marco, started to go over the pass. Marco had friends on the other side, and Carl had a deep longing to see Barry. It was the edge of the winter, but the storms had not yet been severe, and they hoped to get through without trouble. All went well up to the beginning of the Valley of Death. Here the snow began to fall heavily . The sky was thick and dull, and the wind was rising. It came in savage gusts, striking one premien, singing itself back to another. whirling the young men about with furious blows and bufl'etings. "This grows worse all the time," said Cart "Let us rest for tive min- utes and eat our lunch, and then push on with all our ;night." "A struggle like this needs some- thing better than bread and cheese," said Marco. "I have brought a flask of the strongest brandy for just such a time." "My grandfather knew the moun- tains as well as I know our own house," said Carl, "and he always said that a mountain climber must 44 The party of Scotch editors, who are making a coast-to-coast tour of Canada to investigate the opportunities here for immigrants, are shown dur- ing their stay in Toronto on their way to the western provinces. keep his head clear. Don't drink it, Marco," he pleaded earnestly. "Don't you know the old saying:: 'He who drinks brandy at the peak will never again drink wine in the valley'?" "I'll wager that the man who wrote that never was at the peak," retorted Marco lightly. In spite of all that Carl could say, Marco took a long, deep drink from his flask and pushed forward. But the storm drove on more and more fiercely: "I must sleep just a moment, then I scan go on," he said drowsily, and sank down beside a great drift. Carl pleaded. He shook the man and pulled him, and dragged him as far as he could. But he himself stumbled and fell, and before he could get upon his feet a sudden whirlwind of snow had covered his friend. e felt about In the storm and darkness, but there was no trace of him to be found. Heavily he plodded on. Late in the night there was a ring at the Hospice door, so faint and tremulous that the good father who answered it almost believed that he had dreamed of the sound. The story was soon told. "It may not be too late," said the' monk, "Our beat dogs were sent the moment we heard that a man was out. They will find "him and he will be brought in." "Has Barry gone?" asked Carl anxiously. "I have come all this way to see Barry." "And you will see him," said the monk, soothingly, as if to a child, "but now sleep, and you shall be called as soon as he comes." In the early gray of the morning Marco was brought in, still half dazed. Barry had found him and pawed the stifling snow away and had joyfully licked his hands and face until he began to awake. But his brain was stupid and dull, his eyes were dim and misty; wild fancies and terrors had seized upon him, and while Barry was barking joyfully for help, his only thought was that a wild beast had attacked him. He fumbled with unsteady hand, pulled out his knife, and stabbed the loving friend who, with no thought of his own suffering, was, with all his strength, struggling to drag him to shelter. The brave dog's blood red- dened the snowflakes that whirled angrily around them. Barry's steps staggered more and more. At the gate he dropped and his eyes closed. The monks knelt around him and watched him tenderly. "Barry, Barry!" cried Carl, in a voice that trembled with` affection and grief. Barry moved his head slightly. His eyes opened. He looked slowly from one to another, all around the little group, last of all at Carl. For a mo- ment he questioned. Then there came into his eyes the light of a great joy. He made a familiar sound, faint and distant, it seemed, but yet clear and distinct. It was "Barry's welcome" - 1 and his farew-el]. So Barry died, in 1816, after twelve years of unselfish, faithful service. When the cemetery for dogs was opened in Paris the place of honor was given to a monument in his mem- ory. emory. This shows the little girl on his back whom he rescued after the fall of the avalanche. She is holding fast to him and Barry's head is turned a little toward her as if he was telling her to trust him and not be afraid, for he would surely carry her safely home. (The End.) MY ENAMELED VASE. I had in my possession an old brown -and -white vase with very good lines, but 'it had an absolutely impos- sibie red rose painted on one bide. I knew nothing of china painting, nor was the vase valuable enough to justify spending even a small amount of money. However, I had some blue enamel, bought at the ten -cent store for my oil stove. I mixed a little black paint with it to soften it into a pretty gray and "flowed It onto the surface of the vase.
