INTERNATIONAL BABY SAVING.
For once the civilized world is be-
Iieving what Germany says when she
speaks incessantly of the next war.
For once the world being fore -warned
by Germany's attempts to increase her
birth rate by whatever means, is fore-
armed and is starting out far the first
time on organized baby saving. In-
stead of. this work: being conducted
in lsolated communitie there is a;
conviction that if the future citizens
of the world are to be saved all the
the babies must be saved no matter!
where they live. There. is a convic-
tion that no one knows quite as much
as he :ehould know about baby welfare
and that no one is doing all he should
to secure fair treatment for this "lit-
tle infant soldier" who has had to
fight far too many of his battles un-
aided, in the Past.
England is th�eroughly roused on
this subject. first of all she means
to effect a radical reform at hone.
The Children's Jewel Fund has yield-
ed e27,1152 for baby welfare work in
England. Added to this fund is a
contribution of 4.000 guineas from the
American Red Cross to go to the'
same work in England. The Baby
Week Council in celebrating its;
organization this year intend to con-
centrate on getting its propaganda
into otherwise neglected place; and
to levy on all available help -especial-,
ly teachers and children.
Travelling movies will be used as

An Icelese Refrigerator.
The woman who cannot convenient-
ly get ice, or who cannot of-
fer(' it, resorts to all sorts of
contrivances to keep her milk
sweet and her butter hard.
here is a plan fur a home-made
milk house that will answer the pur-
pose,
Make your framework the size you
want the refrigerator, making the bot-
tom a trifle larger than the top. Cover
the framework with ordinary "bag'
sacking -clean potato sacks will do.
Stretch this cornering tight and secure
it with email nails. The door is made
of the same material. The door can
be made to open and shut or you can
have a hanging door which simply
drops over the opening.
New set a yeseta of water on top
of the refrigerator. Of all woollen
cloth snake strips twu or three inches
wide and dip them in the water.
Place one end in the vessel and lay -
the strips out over the sidles of the -
refrigerat,r. These make wicks and
gently draw the water on to the sack-.
ing. Evaporation immediately sets
in, and you will be surprised to find in'
a short time that your butter is hard-
ening and your milk grooving cold. A
few gallons of water will keep this
refrigerator in operation throughout
the day and night, but the vessel
should be filled morning, noon and
night.
This refrigerator will give good ser-
vice if placed in the sun, but better -
service if placed in a shaded place.
The water used may be either cold or -
warm, the object being to have free .
circulation of the air force evapora-
tion and keep the sides of the refrig-
erator wet at all e.imes.
Reading Matter For Our Soldiers.
Sir Douglas Haig, writing to Dame
Eva Anstruther recently said: "Urge
all at home to buy books and maga-
zines and pass them on freely to the
Camps Library for circulation among'
the troops. The demand that has
now to be met is very great." The last
sentence was underlined.
The Earl of Derby wrote: "We feel
we have only to ask for every man,
woman and child to respond to an ap-
peal which will add so great a pastime
to the life of his or her own belong-
ings and friends at the Front, The
matter is urgent." Here also the last
sentence was underlined.
Do Canadians keep their boys sup-
plied with papers and magazines? Do
we share the good stories, the little
poems that say what we would like
to ray and cannot, the jokes, the fun?
"If not, why not?" as the dreadful ex-
amination questions used to say.
Another thing: Because we have
gloomy solemn thoughts should we
send them over there? Every one
says: "Make your letters smile." Why
not send smiling, rollicking printed
kin we do
not like

matter -even
but 'now that our boy likes it? Why

not?

Canada should have a farm employ-

MANY WOMEN IN SHIPYARDS.
Included Among Them are Riveters,
Joiners, Engineers, Blacksmiths.
The introduction of woman labor
into the British shipyards is one of
the most striking developments
, brought about by the war in the field
of woman's work.
To -day women are to be found
among the riveters, taking the place

A more valuable part of their work
is done with machinery. Their work
in the joiners' shops is particularly
valuable in all the various items

machines, with which women work-
ers produce a noticeably large output.
For engineering work' women are

CHINA AND THE BEAN.
I The bean plays an important part in
!Chinese domestic economy, and, ace
'tending to East and Wost News, one
of the specially desired qualifications
1, of the Chinese rnatrnn, throughout the
northern provinces, is her ability to
I concoct from beasts green, Marti and
:yellow those staple dishes that the
C!hinc .t.. know as tea fen and !fang foe.
The bean seldom appears on the
I Chinese treble whole; it is not con-
slelerecl as flt for food until it has
j been reclueed to its essencee and put
' up in the form or bean curd, or bean
I gelatin, which are for sale in every
roadside foodshcp of northern Clrintt.
The art of produclug these nour!ebe
ing foods, which are thee meat, of the
poor, is to the rural Chinese wonan
I what the malting of butter, cheese and

I in the large cities bean manipulation
of that sort is a craft and a comities-
; Mel activity, just as the malting of
Ism and butter le in tiro large elites
of t.ho West; but it can hardly be
called an industry, since it is still

must be crushed, soaped, baked,.
I boiled, strained and so on, before the
essences appear.
