MIRACLE OF SPRING
Were 1 to live a thouaand years I
:still would.' know that flaming thrill,
-that rush of joy when first appears
—the golden daffodil. A thousand
'times qty heart would sing when
purple irises unfold; or when the
forsythia's branches ding 'their
+dazzlingshowers of gold. ' 1 could
not see an almond tree with branch -
,es of a rosy glow but that a tide of
eestasy would through my being
-flow. Were I to see, a thousand
-times blue scilla bells amid' green
• grass, I know I'd hear their fairy
chimes as I would pass. Were I to
-live a thousand years .rd never
watch the nesting birds except
-through eyes bedimmed with tears,
my tongue bereft of words. Were 1
to weave ten thousand lays, knew I
a thousand songs to sing, I still
'would lack the power to praise—the
miracle of 'Spring.'
Wilhelmina Stitch.
Even the weather has not been
any too encouraging for some weeks,
It really is Spring. The grass is
greening, snowdrops and crocuses
.are out and, in sheltered places, the
• daffodils are coming. Tulips are
•coming up strong and sturdy look-
-leg, promising plenty of bloom in
the coming weeks, end rosy tips of
rhubarb leaves are coming too, with
-a promise of luscious rhubarb Pie
sand refreshing sauce. Of course
rhubarb has been on the market for
weeks but somehow the hothouse
stuff doesn't seem to have the -sante
flavor as that grown in the garden,,
Although it is dainty and refreshing.
It 'lacks the direct Sunshine which
gives the rosy tinge and the intri-
guing flavor to the garden variety.
Sometimes in the spring appetites
flag a little and the housewife is put
to it to plan something that will
tempt eauh member of her family.
Ifit, could be done, and I always feel
that the mother of a family aright
do a good, deal. toward such .a desir-
ed end, children should be taught
from earliest childhood to relish
vegetables, green things, they near-
ly all do like fruit, eooked or raw.
But vegetables seem to be in a 'dif-
ferent class, and still they are so
necessary to health, and when the
family likes them they make the
housewife's work of planning meals
so much easier and simpler.
I think one reason why it was dif-
ficult to get children to eat vege-
tables, with the .exception of pota-
toes, most children like them, was
because so many men would not eat
them, or if they did, it was --under
some protest, and what Daddy does-
n't like cannot be good to the small
boy, especially. But times are
changing and Hien are eating more
vegetables even salads, ' which were
the chief aversion of many of, the
fathers of present day young men.
No one food is sufficient to sus-
tain life and promote health and
The wise .housewife will endeavour
to provide ' a varied diet for her
family, seeing that the growing chile
dren have plenty of the foods needed
for the building' up of their bodies.':
The following simple' list of the
value 'of foods may help to' .plan
tasty, ';tempting and healthful meals.
Vitamin A.—Is ;found in eggs,
cod-liver oil, milk, tomatoes, greens,
whole wheat; etc.
The lack bf this vitamin will cause
eye' disease and result in ;blindness.
Also a peresn who takes plenty, of
this vitamin will not easily take cold.
"Vitamin B.—Qs found in neat, but-
ter, yeast and almost any kind of
vegetable, etc.
The lack of this vitamin will cause
paralysis. This vitamin also stimul-
ates the appetite.
Vitamin C.—Is found in 'oranges,
lemons, any kind of fresh fruit, also
tomatoes, and green vegetables.
The lack of this vitamin will cause
scurvy.
Vitamin D.—Is found in cod-liver
oil, egg yolk and sunshine.
The lack of this vitamin will
cause bone disease in grown-ups and
rickets in chiliren: ' A.person who
gets very little sunshine would be
benefited by taking cod-liver oil.
A new vitamine has just been
discovered but we Dave' not as yet
found in which class of food it pre-
dominates. •
With such important articles as
eggs and milk at low prices the
business of nurishing the family
ought not to be sa difficult. Auth-
orities say that each child should
havea quart of milk a day, adults a
pint, but it doubtful 11 many fait PROPER OF THE
ilies consume that much. It is said'
that if we used snore mill{ and less
salt we should have less trouble with
colds. It might be worth trying.
01 course it is not necessary: to

Various 'ways, ' milk soups, puddings,
sauces, ere, But •themajority of
the authorities on health are agreed
that milk is a very valuable food
for both children and adults.

WOMAN MADE LUCKY
DISCOVERY
n -
Mrs. Buteonshaw decided to keep
her. secret and, watch results, Her
husband, an English paper maker,'
was away, and: she tried to ido two
things at onee— watch a tub of pulp
and go on with her washing. Ac-
cidentaIIy she dropped her bag of
bluing into the wrong tub, and it
mixed with the paper instead of her
fine linen being laundered. She was
frightened and at- once started to- ret
port to her husband, then decided not
to confess until necessary.
That tub, proved to have a pulp
which made a different paper, to be
sure - a paper so white that it
brought an unusually high price in
the London market,' and Button -
shaves customers demanded more of
the same kind. Then Mrs. Button
Shaw told how it happened, for the
puzzled paper maker knew not how
to do it again, being ignorant of a
new process in his own establish-
ment. Her confession was rewarded
with a fine new red cloak, which he
purehased for her the next time he
went to London. And London was
furnished with the whitest paper
ever brought to market,
This was in 1746, and since then
bluing has been used when paper of
special whiteness is to be made. ,

CARE
FEET
(By Anne Jordan)
There is really no excuse for a
corn. It comes from wearing 311 -fit.
ting shoes. Children have no corns
Ibecause, kids are too close to nature
to affect shoes that hurt, no matter
how attractive they look.
Wearing.shoes too small is a ridic-
ulous mistake. You can't ,do, like
Cinderella's sisters and slice off wee;
of your feet, A woman will cramp a
No. 11 foot into a No. 4 shoe and
beam delightedly at her foot in the
Mirror. All the time she's about as..
happy as the Spartan boy on whose
chest the fox whetted his teeth. She's
a sport about anything she thinks
makes her look better. When e man's
feet hurt he'll either limp outright
or he'll, walk with his toes, turned up.
But the ;only way you cantell a wo-
man's feet hurt is a certain little
drawn line about her mouth.-
'Fairy=footed females are as passe
as the bustle. Women use their feet
to walk on, not for men to write
poems about, and a good strong foot
deserves • a comfortable shoe. So if
your feet are aching and you've a
weather prophet on your toe that
shrieks electricity every time it'tt
about to rain, change the size of
your shoes -get them bigger and
better, get your money's worth of
shoe leather and give your feet a
chance to rest.
And in the meantime, to get your
feet back to ndrmal, soak them -each
night in a warm solution of Epsom
halts. Put about a table spoon of Ey-
stun salts to a quarb of very warm
water and soak until the water cools,
For a corn put some Epson, salts on
a damp rag and tie around the toe
and leave over night. In the morn-
ing soften the corn by rubbing it
with camphor ice. If you continue
this a short tiote and wear shoes
that really fit, all your foot troubles
will be over.
PARENTAL FAILURE

parents have unloaded the duties of
the home on the overburdened shoul-
ders of school teacher's and officials.
That puts the matter• strongly, but
not too strongly, For years the

run wild, and then expect theit
school -teachers to instruct them it

gard for property, patriotism, never-
ence for sacred things, regard for
the rights of others, politeness, and

A VISITOR FROM HAMILTON
By R. E. Knowles in The Toronto
Star
(Rev. Mr. lietchen is a member of a
family formerly well ltuww,n . at
Bruoefield,) '
Sunday last (April 10th) was to
me a day of especial privilege. First,
because—and for the .first time
somewhat near a year --S spent that
_ Sabbath itrToronto, not for nothing
known, for the last fifty years, as`
the City of the Just. And second.
because I. attended a Presbyterian
church (High Park by name) the.
same visited by the yesterday for the
first time, although long familiar as
the .one-time workshop of Rev. Dr.'
Gilbert Wilson and of the departed.
but ever honored Rev, J. H,,Turnbull.
Yesterday was "anniversary" Sun-
day ill the High Park' Presbyterian
1church and the imported preacher
was the Rev. 11. Beverley Is eteben,
D,D., ; of '1VTeNab St. Presbyterian
church, Hamilton.
More than , cordial is the "wel-
come stranger" technique of these
westerly' Presbyterians. 1 was al-
most.taken off my feet by the cour-
tesies extended to my hand! In
the twenty or twenty-five feet .,.be-
tween' the door and the rear -most
pew (in which I found my, fitting
place)'I"was hand -shaken three times:
by three different officials, each
coning fresh to :the manual attack-e-
st;
ttack—so cordial, that by the time I' was
finally shaken to the occasion seemed
like a veritable handspring ,from on
high. Whatever, can be said of other:
churches, High Park Presbyterian
is certanly not one of those who give
frugal greeting to the humble and
the poor. For yesterday I wore an
overcoat which --thy guardianess, ins
spirsrtioness and exceeding great re.
tvardess has for two years been vain-
ly scheming to bestow upon the Sal-
vation Army in general and some
tramp in particular—but which, so
sacred are memories and so worthy
the loyalty even of a coat, I retain
and cherish with the aid of that
Tennyson who first taught me tc
chant; "In youth it sheltered me and
I'll protect it naw."
The popular ILigh Park minister,
Rev, Dv. John McNab, was absent
yesterday—exchange, presumably —
but his pulpit was delightfully filled
by the. Hamilton divine, Rev. Bev-
erley Ketehen. One would naturally
think that a Hamilton minister
would feel some degree of embar-
rassment in confronting a Toronto
audience,, but Dr. Ketchen either
was unaware of the promotion or had
'wonderfully steeled himself to con-
ceal all symptoms of disquietude.
Probably he was well aware that cul-
ture is not everything and that, in
the deep needs of the 'hmnan heart,
the claims of the unsophisticated and
of the intelligentsia are scarcely to
be distinguished. In any case, he
preached a -sermon of distinct power
and helpfulness, his youthful appear
ance, his breadth of thought and
depth of sympathy, his facility of ut-
terance and gift of poetic imagery,
his obvious design to help and cheer,
his faith in men and his love for
them—all of these conspired to make
his exposition of "Seekest thou great
things of thyself—seek them not" a
medium of instruction and a ministry
of soul-anoving power. '
Dr. Ketehen has been for 27
years the minister of old McNabb
Street church in Hamilton, and it is
said—I believe with literal accuracy
—that there is not a man, woman or
1. child in all tate congregation who
does not hope that he will be their;
dear possession for twenty-seven
more years to come.
THE PRINTED PAGE
Little bits of lead type; little dabs
of ink,
Help the passing moments; make
the people think.
Little stories telling what the people
Even tales of murder; nothing's

Grotesque words of humor; sad -like
tales of woe;
Glowing tales of valor; life's great
ebb and flow.
All are in the lager; , youth ' and
doting age,
• raining reading matter on the
printed page.
When you're tired and weary from
the daily grind,
Cease your little worries, feed the

Watch the times now passing—let
the people rage;-
They who do not gather from the

As for me I'll never cease to read
the news,

DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD
IT
"A disoontentded"farmer wished,
if possible, to trade this farm for a
more desirable one, and accordingly
listed it with a real estate agency.
A few days afterwards he read in a
newspaper the advertisement of it
prepared by the agency. It describ-
ed in glowing terms the many
charms, comforts, ccmveniences and
advantages of the place. Three times
the old farmer read that ad, then
he called in his wife and had her
read it to him. Then he seized the
telephone and called up the real es-
tate office. 'Say, cancel that ad
about my farm; he shouted. 'I've
decided not to sell it, That's the
kind of place I've been wanting for
years, and I did not know I had its"

RICKETS
Rickets is a very common disease
of infancy and early childhood,
which means that it occurs during
those years when the body grows
'most rapidly,
It is usually ,during the first
months of life that rickets begins.
At that time, sinless it is severe, it
,is not Iikely to be recognized by
parents. It is usually later, when
the weakness of the muscles and de-
formity of the bones are noticeable,
that parents realize there is some-
thing' wrong.
(tickets is one of the deficiency
diseases. It occurs because there is
some essential lacking in the diet—
Vitamin D, or the antirachitic vita-
min. Sunshine has the same effect as
Vitamin D, so we niay say that ric-
kets' is the result of a lack of a
certain food substance and sunshine.
The antirachitic vitamin is found
in abundance in coni liver oil and is
also present in egg -yolk. All bab-
ies, whether they be fed naturally
er artificially, should receive cod
liver ion, Beginning (towards 'title
end of the first menth with a feev
drops twice a day. During the sum-
mer the dose may be reduced. It is
better to continue with entail closes
than to stop giving the oil altogeth-
er. If its use is continued, thb
problem •of- starting again does not
arise.'
The reason why the, dose can be
decreased during the summer„ is
because, in sunnier, the child can
secure plenty of sunhsine, which, es
we stated, has • the same effect .up-
on his -body ..as has the Vitamin D
in cod liver oil.
The cod liver oil ,which is used
must he e brand which has 'been
tested and: frund to contain the re -
qui ed vitamin.
The child who has ridkets is usually
irritable and restless. It will be no-
ticed that his head Perspires exces-
sively, and that, when he is lying
down, he has a tendency to roll his
head from side to side on his pillow.
The disease may be slight or severe;
and depending on the severity, will
be noticed the protruding abdomen,
flabby muscles, enlargement of the
joints, delay in teething and in
walking.
If the condition is at all severe
and is allowed to go untreated, the
deformities of the bones will become
permanent. This is particularly ser-
ious if the child -is a girl, because it
may cause deformity of the pelvis.
'which will lead to trouble when
the time conies for her to be a
mother.
Obviously the right thing to do is
to prevent rickets. This can be
done if cod liver oil is given in suf-
ficient 'amounts and the child gets
plenty of direct sunshine. Every
child should spend part of every day
out of doors.. The proper hours to
do so and tite queston of clothing
depend upon the season of the year
and the age of the chile. The baby
who is born in, winter should not be
placed out' of doors until he has been
gradually accustomed to the outdoor
air. The next best thing to preven-
tion is early recognition and proper
treatment, The food and sunshine
which prevent rickets .will also cure
it. .:tickets can be banished if e,vr
make use of the knowledge we have
concerning ',it. The responsbiility
rests upon parents.
