in addition to potatoes; an egg in
some form each day; a protein food
such as meat, cheese or legumes; an
easily digested fat such as butter;
and a simple sweet .like honey, jam
OT syrup.
There are a few "dent's" to be
considered in planning•meals` for chil-
dren. Be very careful not to let them
acquire an undue appetite for sweets
as this will niake other necessary
foods distasteful to them. Do not al-
low them to have too many fried
foods as fat retards the digestive pro-
cesses to some extent."
good deal' of time and thought.
The simpler the food if it eontains
the elements necessary for health
Would seem to be the sensible' and
rational thing for summer consump-
tion.
The housewife who is not "faddy"
about food but who prepares a var-
iety of wholesome food in the daily
menu is the one who will usually
have the least trouble in keeping her
family satisfied and happy. The
wise mother will endeavor, too, to
Jeep her children from becoming
faddy and fussy about food. Children
are bound to take little dislikes to
food occasionally and to refuse to
eat certain things. If the mother
fusses about this and at once goes
' to get something else which he. will
•eat she niay expect to have to do it
again and again. All children like
attention and this is a very simple
way to get it --'if mother is easy.
If a child for no good reason re-
fuses good food which he has been in
the habit of eating, or if it is new
and he does not know what it is like._
the best way to deal with the mood
is to say: "It is pity you do not like
this, for it is good," then go on and
nay no more attention to him, letting
him make out his meal with what it
left. A few casual treatments like
this will usually result in the child
malting up his mind that it is not
worth while depriving himself, even
though he may not be very fond
of this particular food, so he eats
it when served. The fewer little
food fads a child acquires the hap-
pier he will be as he grows up. There
are Iso many lovely things to eat that
it is a pity to allow ourselves - to
take fancies against any of them.
And the proper use of a variety of
food is one of the surest ways of
bringing about normal growth in
children and the maintenance of
health for all. A food expert says;
"One of a mether's greatest obliga-
tions to her children is to provide
them with nutritious food in suffi-
eient quantity to maintain bodily
health. An undernourished child can-
not possibly be a healthy or happy
child. A simple test of whether or
not your child is well-fed is to ask
the Questions, "does he look well—
does he feel well and is he really
well!''
Meals for children need not be
elaborate to be sufficient for their
needs. Jnist be sure to include the

mission is. at once apparent.
Up till .now, the. ,efforts of the
grower to control streak have all too
success
Often met with very little ,
largely because it wasjnot known how
the disease originated. Now that our
pathologists have 'demonstrated that
'the disease May' -be carried in the
seed it immediately suggests the use
of seed that has come from streak. -
free plants. It Is now hoped that 'by
using clean seed and taking :precau-
tions
precau-tions to prevent infection of the
plants through -soil, or insects, that
the disease may be satisfactorily Con-
trolled and thus thousands of dollars
saved to Canada -yearly as a result of
the successful research work carried
on at the Laboratory of Plant Path-
ology, St.; Catharines, Ontario.
That there is good reason to be-
lieve that successful control of streak
is now to be ;anticipated by the grow-
er is shown by the -results which have
already been obtained at the St.
Catharines Laboratory with ''' seed
specially ' 'selected from healthy
plants. Using this seed they have
been able to grow five suecessiye
crops of tomatoes without any mos-
iac or streak whatever, whereas for-
inerly, these diseases were generall•1
present in all crops. The grower is
therefore urged to make his own sel-
'ection of seed from healthy planta
and thus reduce these diseases to a
minimum.
(Experimental Farms Note.)
Research work just completed at
the Dominion Laboratory of Plant
Pathology, St. Catharines, Ont., ,a
branch laboratory of the Division of
Botany, Experimental Farms Branch,
of the Dominion Department of Agri
culture, demonstrates that "mosiac"
and "streak', of tomatoes are seed
borne. This has been aceomplished
in two ways by the St.'Catharines
Laboratory: (1- by growing under
controlled ,conditions tomato plants
that have come from seed selected
from streak plants, and (1) by inoc-
ulating healthy tomato plants with
the crushed embryos from seed taken
from plants affected with streak and
mosiac.
By the first method as high as
eight per cent of streak and over
thirty per cent of mosiac was ob-
tained, while the second method gave
as high as 66-2-3 per cent of streak
and mosiac. It should be pointed out,
however, that sometimes "streak"
seed, that is seed from plants affect-
ed with streak, gave rise to plants
that were absolutely healthy so that
all seed from a .disease plant does
not necessarily transmit the disease.
The sauce is also true for mosiae
seed, that is seed from nnosiac•plants.
On the other hand, clear cut evidence
of the virus being present in the
embryo of the seed has been obtained
and thus the possibility of seed trans-

who recently returned to the Queen
City,
Miss Farquharson's stt,•iking ap-
pearance and personality, and her
accomplishments as related by- fellow
passengers from Jamaica and Toron-
to, give weight to her remarks.
The returning Canadian girl firmly

ness, the sense of color ancl design

budget, judiciously controlled. Miss

TEETH AND HEALTII ter each meal to remove particles of
Geed teeth are not only useful and
• ornannental, but what is of more im-
portance is the fact that they snake
for good health. ,It would seem,
.therefore, that everyone would want
td have sound, healthy teeth.
Good teeth are the product of good
building material. You cannot have
good teeth if ,you do not take into
your body with your food the sub?
stances required in the construction
, of strong, sound teeth. From before
birth, on through the years of
growth, during which time the teeth
•are being built up, the diet of the
mother and 'child must contain, along
with other food essentials, the min-
• erals required to make good bones
and teeth.
These minerals are available in
• vegetables, fruits and whole grain
cereals. Unless .these foods are used
in sufficient quantity by the' expec;
taut and nursing mother, and by 'the
child during his. years ;of growth,
the teeth will be of poor quality and
will not likely be healthy in spite of
-'the care which may, be given - to
'them late:.
This does, not mean that the teeth
are to be neglected. The teeth are
•to be.kept clean by regular bras+hing.
The best teeth are the result of pro-
-per food and regular cleaning. Even
poorly built teeth, the result of im-
propbr diet, benefit by the regular
-use of the tooth brtish.
-The tooth brush'shoiald be used.af-
food remaining about the teeth.
These particles remaining in the
mouth decay and ferment, and so
lead to damage of the enamel. Thiol
can and should be avoided. The most
important time to clean the teeth,
the time which should never be neg-
lected, is after the evening meal be-
fore retiring.
The health of the tenth and of the
guns has a very direct influence up-
on the general health. The presence
of a small'amo•unt pf pus at the root
of a tooth, the result of the activity
of some germs, may be responsible
for serious conditions arising in oth._
er parts of the body. The tooth map
look healthy, even though it has hid-
den 'in 'its root this collection of pois-
on. Your dentist will, if you give
him the opportunity, by regular visits
to his 'office,- detect and correct such)
conditions 'before they -can do harm.
Healthy teeth can be secured and
kept healthy, by. eating the right
kinds of food; by riegular cleaning
and by reviler periodic dental sup
ervision and treatment when requir-
ed. 'Iin this• way, not only will the
health of the teeth be cared foe, but
the general health of the body will 'be
assisted and the body proteetod a-

Household
Economics
It happened one 'day' in November
that the father* w6 returning from a
drive,. and as he neared his house he
noticed the dog in .e, pasture which
was separated by a Stone wall from
the toad: From behind this wall the
collie would spring u1', bark, and then,
jump down again, constantly repeat-
ing it.
Leaving his horse and, going to
the spot, he found his little girl seat-
ed on a stone, with the collie wagging
his tail and keeping guard beside her.
In the light snow their path could
be plainly seen, and as he traced it
back he saw where the ,little one had
walked several times around an open
well in the pasture. Very close to
the brink were prints of the baby
shoes, but still closer en the edge of
the well were the tracks of the collie,
who had evidently kept between her
and the well.
We need not tell you the 'feelings
of the father as he saw the fidelity
of the dumb creature, walking be-
tween the child and what might oth-
erwise have been a terrible death.

GIVE YOUR BEST
A gentleman was walking up the
street carrying in. his hand a bunch of
beautiful white water lilies, which he
had gathered as he returned from a
pleasant sail on the bay.
"What lovely lilies!" exclaimed an
acquaintance, as she inhaled their
fragrance and looked longingly at the
'bouquet in his hand.
"Yes, they are rather nice,'' he re-
plied. "Take your pick if you care
for one."
"May I?"• You are very kind," she
said, as she reached out and selected
a. medium sized flower from the
bunch.
"IIow modest you are; I do believe
you have chosen the smallest one you
cculd find. Isere, take this one," be
said, as he detached the largest and
finest flower from the rest and hand-
ed it to her.
"You are generous, indeed," she
said. "You have given Inc the best
among the lot." "Well, it is a pleas-
ure to give, and still more of a pleas-
ure when we give our best," he re-
plied.
Is not this sentiment worthy of
thought? It may not always be easy
to give our best. Selfishness says,
"Keep the best for yourself."
But the greater happiness to our
selves and other, the highest ideal of
life can be reached only when we give
the best we have—to our employer
the best services we can render, to
our friend our most valued treasury
and to our Saviour the fullest love of
a loyal heart.—Exchange.
CELERY TRANSPLANTED IN
BERMUDA RETURNED
TO CANADA
A plan to cultivate celery in Can-
ada between June . and October,
transplant it in Bermuda and har-
vest it for export to Canada in Feb-
ruary, was inacle known by W. R.
Evans, marketing adviser to the
Bermuda Department of Agriculture.
It is understood that an expert will
arrive in Montreal to plant the first
seeds.
The scheme would advance the op-
ening of celery shipment from Ber-
muda to Canada by two or three
months. This ,year 25,000 crates of
the vegetable reached Canada .from
the British colony. • In former years
there was practically none shipped
to Canada.
KINDNESS •
Kindness is gent:eness or tender-
ness shown to others, writes Bar-
bara Frey in The Burning Bush. It
is one of life's greatest joys to help
another. There are great deeds of
kindness and there are smaller
deeds of kindness—not insignificant,
although they may not at first be
noticed, but they are sure to blossom
and bring forth fruit.
This would be such a pleasant
world if everybody were kind—with
not a cross word spoken to one an'
other. When an unkind word is
spoken to you, do not pay tine speaker
in the same sort; 'but sepak a kind
word. This is the sure way of show,
ing kindness, and will always reach
hearts, though sometimes it may be
hard to return good for evil.

OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY
"If," says a writer, "you want to
use a bit of woodland or pasture for
a picnic, ask the owner's permission
first, and then leave the place as you
found it." Such advice is both
reasonable and seasonable. It is a
common failing to be careless about
the property of others. To enjoy
the delights of a wayside beauty
spot, and to leave it littered and un-
tidy for the owner and for others, is
selfish and inconsiderate. In seek-
ing recreation, and in enjoying leis-
ure, it is never amiss to recall and
practise the Golden Rule.—The Hali-
fax Herald.
