• of idlenees,--Pro. ,81:27.
•
Mate Minister Ramsay Mac'Don-
aid :recently in addressing a gather..
ing'of women students of Edinburgh
University declared: "the only prac-
tical people I have met in the course
of many years have been the women.
They are .great chancellors of the
exchequer. •
s ;Had women been in control of the'
Bank of England or the City, or had
'they been sitting at 10 Downing
•.street during. the Last three years,
there would have been no crisis." .
I have often been accused of be.
ing unduly partial to my- sex when
' I've expressed the opinion that' if
-women were in 'control of, er had s
voice in, the expenditure of public
, monies that,stricter economy would
be practised.' But here is an oat -
•standing member of the male sex, a
man who has had experience in pub -
tic life, who does not hesitate to ex-.
press the same opinion.
It niay be argued that some was
- men have ruined their husbands and
fathers by their extravagance. Well,
we used to hear a lot about these
extravagant women; we seldom
hear a word about thein now. As r
matter of fact we hear a lot less of
the foolishness of women since,
women have begun standing up for
themselves a bit and have unit tak-
ing everything ascribed tc them ly-
ing down as it were.
There have bean and no'doubt are
still extravagant women, but I feel
safe in saying that in ninety-five
per cent. of the households where
the woman has the management of
the major part of the expenditures'
that there are greater returns hi
family comfort for the money ex-
pended than if the male partner had
las spending of the money. Men are
not, as a rule, good shoppers. They
hate to appear mean over the spend-
ing of money, and will often spend it
in purchasing something which will
yield but little return in actual com-
fort for the family if urged to do so,
by souse persuasive salesman WNW).
mann.
.A woman, on the other band, never
makes a purchase without looking
ahea:i and counting the cost and the
rot= the purchase will make. She
is not afraid to say, if an article
seems beyond her means, that she
would like to have it but cannot af-
ford it. She sees the needs of hems
family and her available funds and
buys accordingly. As a rule she
hates extravagance and not getting
the worth of her stoney, so she uses
her brains and snakes the best use of
the dollar in her hand. As a rule,
too, she hates debt and will not rum
into do`t'e without seeing her way out
of it again.
iVlemi like doing things on a large
scale. A. man, after all, is but a
grown-up boy. Ile likes to puff out
'horseradish or horseradish sauce.
With veal, grilled ham or bacon,
slices of lemon, anti a well -flavored
thickened brown gravy.
With roast pork, sage and onion
stuffing, bread, sauce, apple sauce,
and thickened gravy.„
All the above roasts may be ac-
•eonipaniecl by old potatoes when in
season,. peeled cut in halves length-
wise, and baked and brownedunder
his chest and pretend that he's a
great fellow, and one way he takes
of showing himself a great .fellow is
by spending money.' That is at the
foundation, I have not a doubt,'; of a
great deal of public expenditure.
Alen' get into public positions where
there is the -responsibility of spend-
ing rind, as the supply, seems` almost
unlimited, they immediately get the
idea of "doing something big."
Something that will make a'big show
and, enhance their reputation oe
popularity is usually, what they think
about. My idea is that if on all
spending committees " there were a
few commonsense women they would
put a check upon the expenditure of
the peoples' money for show but
would see that what was spent would
add to the comfort and the well-be-
ing of the people generally.
The government of Canada costs
too much money. It doesn't make a
bit of difference which party` is in
power and it wouldn't make a bit of
difference, if an entirely new par-
ty — of men — were put in,
too ouch money is expended
on merely running the- country. I
believe that if some women were
consulted a vast cutting down of ex-
penditure might be made without
losing anything in service, even ad,
din;' to it. perhaps. Women could
help•ren the country just as they
help run the house. And some day
probably they will, when enough men
get the idea, as Premier MacDonald
has, that their assistance would be of
value.
Sometimes when leaving on a holi-
day, if the whole family is to be
absent, or even if some of the male
members nee to be left, the problem
is to ensm'e that certain houseplants
receive their mead of water. Here is
an effective and . simple way,' one
not dependent upon the erratic mem-
cry of "himself" Place a pail of
water near the plants and run a strip
of woolen cloth from the water to
each plant. 'Water will soak up
through the doth to the plant, keep-
ing the day mist. Use woolen as
a eaten rag will absorb the water
toe fast and will keep the plants too
wet. Also, be sure not to use a
Wide strip Of cloth, one an inch wide
is sufficient for most talents.

This is the good old sentinel: time
and everybody—well, most everybody
—is trying to get a coat of tan. It
is not hard for some of us to do. All
that is needed is just to' expose our-
selves to the sun's rays often enough
and, there it is. But do not be in
too great a hurry to accomplish it.
The finished mahogany or light wal-
nut color of a suntanned face is not
to be gained too quickly, or too care-
lessly. All of us have experienced
sunburn at some time in our lives,
and most, of us have been fortunate
enough to escape with a mere uni
pleasantness for a day or so. But
sunburn can be and too often is, a
very painful and serious condition.
The burn that the falsely benevo,
lent summer sun gives us is the
equivalent of a first or second de-
gree burn such as night be caused
by a let iron or scalding water. And
the effect of a severe sunburn is
comparable to the effect of either of
these two.
As in the treatment of such burns,
any oily substance placed in direct'
contact with the skin will soothe and
heal the soreness. If the severity of
the burn demands bandage, it is well
to wrap lightl"y powdered bandages
loosely around the tender spot, as
tight wrappings may tend tomake a
swollen condition intolerable.
So beware when you set yourself
to get that healthy coat of taim. See
to it that you expose yourself to the
full rays of the sur for no more than
a half an hour at a time until the
first coat of red has turned brown,
Then lengthen your periods of exno-
sure discreetly. You will net be clis-
entisfied with the result, and, what;
is more. you will have no painful
hours of remorse far your careless-
ness.

Trees Add Much To

Trees are not planted in the hone
grounds for financial reasons, perhaps
but the investment value of well-

not be under -rated.

Canoe Trips in Canada
Lakes and Rivers Provide Numerous Attractions
Opportunities for an Enjoyable Vacation Almost Unlimited
HE requirements for a suc-
cosefule and satisfactory trip
by canoe; suitable water,
picturesque 'country and an
excellent summer climate,
can be found almost any-
where in Canada. The in-
nateereible lakes and, rivers make the
choice of trips almost unlimited.
One.can travel dor hundreds of aniles
me any of the great rivers, journey
ing from lake to lake and portaging
whererapids,impede or heights inter -
gene. . Hi veng' decided upon the
kind of trip to be annde, whether
one requiring much effort and ex-
perience,
xperience, or one quite free from
rapids and portages, the canoeist has
only to select his route.
Easy of Access
Although railways and the auto-
mobile have provided a means of
rapid transport, there are countless
places in the quiet of the forest,
out of reach of either. It is such
places, approachable only by canoe,
that invite the adventurer to Par-
take of the wonders of nature. The
railtdays and the development of
good roads have however made the
majority of canoe routes ite Canada
easily accessible, and one need not
travel far from the majority of
Canadian cities before reaching the
embarking polar of an enjoyable
trip.
Forest Beauty
In certain; parts one may follow
the streasne for a long summer
'outing and never see a village or
dwelling, yot civilization lies so
close that return. is easily possible.
Waterfalls, rapids large and small,
lakes of singular beauty hidden
deep in. the forest,• and islands
covered with pine and spruce trees
are among the interesting features
encountered en route. In some
plaices one may travel hundreds of
miles without meeting obstacles of
any kind,,
There is a remarkable Contrast be-
twee» the .conventionality of modern
life and the Suit naturahiess oflife
in the great forest, where one may
relax, amid the beauty of natural
surroundings. A strange appeal of
imagination comes to one while fol-
Ihwing the routes of • the historic
explorers and contentment prevails
amid time constant change or beaniti-
ful sceaery.
Fish and Game in Abundance
Canadian lakes and rivers are
renowned dor the variety 'and
abundance of their fish. Brook and
lake trout are ntunerous, the latter
often weighing from fifteen to thirty
pounds while other species of fish
are plentiful. Eastern Canada is
well provided with waterways, well
suited to travel by canoe. Canal
systems, rivers large and small
rapids, falls, lakes,' stillwaters and
all the requirements for au enjoyable
canoe trip, await the devotee of the
paddle. (Whether it be a •cruise
through a well settled region, or an
adventurous journey, through the
wilderness; the ennoeist will find an
almost unlimited number of lakes
and, streams.
The waterways of western Canade,
in days gone by, assisted materially
in unveiling the mystery of the
greet country between lake Superior
and; :the Pacific Ocean. Radiating
from lake. 'Winnipeg, are routes of
romantic interest. Nestling among
the mountains of the coast are many
beautiful lakes, • also streams that,
wind through the hills; where sport.
for the angler and hunter may be
found.

shade and storm protection,:, and its
picturesque' value in the •landscape,
we scam recognize that besides be-

It. pays dividends in beauty, and
the, market value`of beauty, is recog-
nized universally nowadays. But
there is something more than this.
The tree has actual material, finan-
tial value.
Mature trees have a 'replacement
cost which may' be calculated by es-
timating the cost of planting a tree
of equal size.in the same place. This
is recognized by appraisers•in fixing
the value of property. In case you,
wish to sell, this value, can bo added
to the price. You can obtain insur-
ance on it' to protect you in case of
accidental destruction, or you can
collect damages in ease your tree is
injured wilfully or by •carelessness
of others, Damages up to one thou-
sand dollars have been awarded by
courts for injury to fine specimens.
Very large trees have a value which
can hardly be estimated since it is
impossible to be replace them with
any of `equal size
But it most be remembered that
the value of trees will be greatly
influenced by the care with which
they are chosen and placed. They
'can be crowded so that they never
have a chance to develop fully; they
can be placed in positions where each
Year they become more .undesirable
until finally they must be cut down.
Varieties may be selected which are
unsuited to your purpose and which
prove a disappointment.
Trees planting is important enough
to receive your careful attention. Seek
the best advice obtainable and do not
allow a small initial expenditure to
prevent your realizing in full the val-
ues which should be yours in a few
years' time.
Why Not Eat First
(Barbara Brooks,
The hostess who participates in her
own party worrying about refresh-
ments with which to climax her hos-
pitality will appreciate these sugges-
tions for feed that comes before.
There is no reason why IVO should
play an afternoon or evening of
bridge and then eat. Why not eat and
then play bridge, It is much easier
on the hostess and digestions in gen-
eral. We wore not made to digest
fried in the middle of the night or the
middle of the afternoon. A lulcheon
or a seven -thirty supper followed by
cards is much more sensible.
As covers for these suppers are us-
ually laid on individual card tables,
the food must .be planned so that it
can be served with the minimal of
dishes. 4 plate, cup a Id saucer, a
desert plate, and a beverage glass are
about all o' the di he a

There are rnany`differe>;it combina-

Rani craquettes, pepper sauce, and
cabbage slaw,' hat` biscuits, butter,

If we were to look in an ultra-
modern dictionary, we would probly
find .that the words "Bridge Lunch-
eoni" are of feminine gender, At least
they should be, for where is there a
man who ever to himself has said, "I
wish I could go to'that bridge lunch-
eon." Afternoon • bridge does not
seem to be part of masculine rou-
tine. Therefore, in planning food for
those occasions we can have just as
many .frills and fancies as we want
and can skillfully manipulate.

GRANT FLENIING, M.D. ASSOCIATE SECRETARY
A HEALTHY SKIN
The appearance of the skin is an
indication of the state of general
health. It reflects the condition of
the whole body, and because it is part
' cf the body, it is affected by disor-
ders of other 'parts. In general it
may be said that a healthy skin is
the result of internal health. Health
tames from within; it is not put on
from without.
The skin serves as a covering for
the body and acts as a barrier to pre-
vent the entrance of disease germs.
The skin plays an important part in
the heat regulation of the body, which
regulation is mainly controlled,
through, the evaporation of perspira-
tion. The activity of the sweat
glatids is increased by exercise, by
increase of temperature and by extra
clothing.
Cleanliness is essential to having a
healthy skin, • 01 more importance is
good health, which is the product of
right living. The skin refleets in-
ternal .cenditions, and if the shin is
unhealthy one naturally looks for the
cause in sopa abnormal condition of
the body, or in faulty habits of life.
For some reason many women a-
void't11e use of soap on their faces.
There is no reason • why a pure and
non -irritating soap should not be used
for cleansing the face. The skin o1
the face is exposed to dust, and it
does need to be kept clean.
eaeeeees
Wrinkles often result from neg-
lect of the eyes, The person who is
unable to see properly will frown
and the repeated frown -Causes per-
manent wrinkles. The use •of proper
glasses, together with good nature,
does away with frowns. The tonic
effects of cold water are also bene-
ficial to the skin, It Is not that we
are particularly concerned about
wrinkles, but we want to point out
in many different ways, how the
skin is affected and why it is that
applications to the skin will not se-
cure results in such cases.
The quality of skin varies greatly
in different individuals. In all eases,
however, the healthy skin is not the
result of ch'anee; it is the product of
healthy living. The best shin foods
are water, exercise, proper foods,
fresh air and rest, because they help
make the whole body fit, including
the skin.
The person with an unhealthy skin
requires prosier medical advfce. It is
a mistake, to try to treat •oneself, or
to use remedies about which one
knows nothing., What may be need-
ed is a change of habit and .diet. If
a remedy is required' it should be Pre-
scribed to meet the actual needs oil

"Scnie gay, adventurous thing to hold'
Against my heart when it is gone."

And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A Being breathing thoughtful breath,
A Traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and

A perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to Comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.

AFTER MIDNIGHT
MD tapped at the door
In the dark and the rain.
While frozen winds, whimpering.
Fingered the pane?
I peer from the portal .. .
The night—nothing more!
Heart, shaken with thudding
Who tapped at the door?
Who tapped at the door
On an hour so late?
With the watchdog without
And the bolt on the gate:
And why do I sense

You, under the grasses!

LOVELINESS
In my mother's garden
Sweet flowers blow:
In my father's garden
Rich fruits grow.
Which is the lovelier?—
How eau T say!
Which is more glorious,
Night time or day?
Roses, lilies, jonquils,
Lavender, and rue,
Or pears, Cherries, apricots,
And plums, deep blue?
In my mother's garden
A trellis roses erring;
An arbor's in my father's
With grapes hanging down.
In my mother's garden
The butterflies rest;
In my father's fruit trees
The' bird builds her nest;
And how could even Solomon
Say which is best?

Housekeeping.
DESERTED
The robin's nest beneath the eaves
Is vacant now—tits cheery note
Is silent, naught but rustling leaves
Replace the music of its throat.
.The weenie house, too, is desolate,
Its tiny windows dumbly stare
And wonderingly seem *to wait
Its thrifty tenant's love and eare.
And often, when the skies were gray,
Its singing brought a gleam of
light,
I was amazed that such a lay
Could issue from a form so slight.
Hushed stillness now is everywhere;
Anti though I miss each bright re-
frain .
My heart enshrines their songs, I
share
This' rapture till they come again.

TIHANKSGIVING FOR LIGFIT
All light .is beautiful. As I have
basked
In southern rays of sun and moon and
stars
I cannot choose the loveliest, for each
One streams with glories of its Own,
each ray
Sings out in songs that radiant rain-
bows know.
I have not heard the whole; the
pining•
chorus ends
Withy fervent songs of thankfulness
to God,
Who gives enraptured view . of
Beauty's hoard.
There is a light that shines in every
clime
Which many` people know, that never
• wanes;
It is the brother -love that stirs the
heart
To noble deeds. Each time a kindly
act
Is done, there is a glow of loveliness
That runs around the world, tran-
scending all
That it has 'known of sweet, celestial
rays
Shed forth by sun, or moon, or stars.

THE BUILDER
An old man going a lone highway,
Caeasidmat evening' cold and grey,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide
The old man crossed in the twilight
dim,
The sullen stream had no fears for
hint.
But when he had crossed he turned
e,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim
near,
"You are wasting your time with
building here,
You never again will pass this way,
Your journey will end with the close
of the day,
You have crossed the chasm wide,
Why build yod this bridge at even-
tide."
The builder lifted his old grey Bead,
"Good friend, in the way that I have
come," he said,
"There followeth after the, today,
A youth whose feet nnust pass this
way.
The stream that bas been as naught
to me,
May, to that fair haired youth, a pit-
fall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight
4111,
Good friend, I am building the bridge
for him."

We're growing old, nay wife and I,
We have a son who went away.
Frank, cheerful, brave.
He went to face the world.
A few years passed,
Then lie came back
Ana we were glad;
And then we found the world had
cheated us!
He was not the Iad that rvent away!
And we were sad,
We Bate you, world, for what
yoe'vo done:
You've changed the lad that was our
son.
So we arc growing o1d--
We sit and conjure up the past.
Our hearts are sad.
But God is good,
And God can bring to life the dead.
And so we hope and pray
He may restore to us some day

MOUNTAIN RAINBOWS
Flow quiet is the mountain when the

Hangs but the briefest moment

The earth becomes! Its very colors

And every cedar's green, an slowly

By hardy roots, blot into shadow laid

A hundred threads of light are being

And with what• acquiescence does the
