CoIcough. ate This is vacation time and everyone • `wh can do so is either having a itoli- day, looking back upon or forward to a holiday or feeling rather de- frauded if nothing of the sort occurs in the routine of life. As I have remarked on more than one occasion before, but think it bears repetition, I believe everyone ought to plan some change in the routine, at some time during the year. Otherwise life becomes very dull and monotone one. A change in the way one ar- a'anges the furniture or the place one. serves the meals cr a little week -end trip, anything in the way of a change really rests and refreshes aeperson. For in nine cases out of ten it is not that a person is really overworked and needs rest so much, as that one is fatigued by monotony. One needs a change. Have you noticed how a sheet visit with a stimulating person will brighten you up and chase away a feeling of lassitude? Remember the wise nom said ages ago; "As iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenence of his friend," So a little change, a short visit with eon- genial friends, or perhaps away from familair friends and with strangers in new environments, may do muci' to renew one'soutlook, give one new things to think about. But those who are happy enough to be able to enjoya real holiday need to bo careful that they do not • go too hard and so defeat the end desired. Sonne need rest,•bodily rest, others need bodily exercise and mental rest. But all should seek to have as much: of a change from the,general routine as possible, in order to' ve- ceive the most benefit. Those who are entertaining visitors during the summer should endeavor to arrange their work so that the exbrc work in connection with such entertain ing shall be as light as possible. -Do not serve heavy meals, although if the members of the family; and guests. are young people, ample supplies ,of nourtishing food will be necessary. But if the meals are planned ahead such food can be prepared and served with the minimum of labor. Plenty of eggs and milk may be included in the summer diet with vegetables and fruit Here are some recipes for a number of simple, easily prepared dishes: BREAD AND APPLE PUDDING • (for eight persons) , Fill a buttered pudding dish with al- ternate layers of eight thin buttered slices of bread and sliced apples, which have been peeled and cored, season the apples with sugar and spice, add one pint milk with three beaten eggs to moisten, add •ere tablespoon of but- ter and bake.

HUNT SEA LIONS TO PROTECT SALMON RUNS Leave the sea lions alone, free to ,carry on their depredations unchecked and the British Columbia salmon fish cry would suffer seriously, and that's why the Dominion Depe)etment of Fisheries sends one of its vessels to the Pearl and Virgin rookeries, west cf Rivers Inlet, to carry on a lion hunt for a few days every year, This year over 1,100 lions and pups were destroyed on those two rookeries when the hunt was carried on by C.G. S. Givenchy in June. Bad weather in- terfered with operations, especially at the Pearl Rocks, and the lions were very wild and dificult to reach, but, nevertheless, the result of the hunt PAGE 7 Household Economics will, be thatthe sea lion family won't worte as much damage to the salmon fishery in the fmare as they wcnld otlrerniiso have actoniplished. The Purpose of these annual hunts is not the extermination of the tea lions; the hunts have been undertak- en for some years but the lions are still numerous—too numerous' to suit the salmon men, The puprose.,songht' is • not to exterminate the herdsbut to keep them within something like reasonable llimets }n numbers and thus to protect the, salmon r•esout'ees which mean so 'much to British' Col- menbia 'and indeed to the Dominion. Just how much these " resehwmes do mean' is indicated be the fact that, in normal times, the value of the pro. (lotion from. the :British Columbia salmon fishery niay be as much as $16,000,000, and even more. The sal- mon runs aro worth too much to allow them to be jeopardized by mar- auding sea lions.

T first an Ontario magistrate rules that a person on foot is entitled to as much room on the highway as a mo- tor car; then the Pedestrian Rights' Asociation springs into being, and now along comes Vancouver judge with a decision that pedestrians do not have to scurry out of the way at the sound cf an automobile horn to avoid rose ponsibilty for being run down. This last judgment may be sound law, and the judge gave it point by awarding $1;200 damages but it might be as well.

ASSOCIATE SECRETARY reoammoommsveranermont learnt, Service OF Tilt (gatiabiztrt Mtbind Assottatintt rstea-:,r EXPECTANT MOTHERS Pregnancy is a normal process thr- ough which the average healthy wo- men should be able to pens without any special danger. It is, however, a condition which throws an unusual strain upon the body and it is neces- sary that the body should be prepar- ed for this additional strain. Everyexpectant mother should re- ceive pre -natal care. Prenatal care means that early in pregnancy the expectant' mother goes to her ,d'octor. The doctor makes the necessary ex- aminations to ascertain the condit- ion of the women. Throughout her whole pregnancy the women remains under the regular supervision of her doctor. There are many good reasons for pre -natal care. Some women are suf- ftsing from abnormal conditions whieh make pregnancy comparatively unsafe for them. They may not be severe of the fact that they have .a :ontracted pelvis, or that their heart w kidneys are not normal.. The ear- ly discovery of such conditions al- lows the doctor to plan for the spec - care such eases require. During pregnancy abaw:nal con- 'litions develope in some cases. These conditions do not as a rule lOme on suddenly. In general they begin with some slight change' which can be detected at that time by proper medical examinations,. and if treated the more serious de- velopementa are prevented. Pre -natal care is essentially pre- ventive in its nature. It provides the supeevisien which is the only pract- ical means whereby expectant moth- ers others may be safeguarded from the conditions which sometimes arise as a menace to health, and life. No one ' can say in what women they will de- velope, so it is necessary to watch over all expectant mothers through pre -natal care fee all. Not only is it ,desirable to make pregnancy safe, but it should be made as comfortable as possible. When the condition of the mother is known the doctor can direct her mode of living so that her health will be maintained and comfort se- cured at 'the --sante time. It will be pointed out to the ex- pectant mother that' her teeth should be put in geed condition.' There is no reason why dental care should not be received during pregnancy, despite popular ideas to the contrary. It• is important to eat the right kinds of food at all tithes, and it is even move important: than usual for the expectant mother to do so. i The food she uses not only nourishes' her own body, but provides the mate erials required to build. the body, of her baby. Pre-patal care safeguards both the, mother and the baby. Questions concerning I?ealth, . ad- f caressed to the Canadian Medical As- bo,sedation, will be answered personally by letter.

The village she chose °vas a small one with a wide - shaded mein street on which were huddled the few shops that supplied the vlliegers' needs. Most 01 "thew were combination shops that carried on oddly assorted eines of business. The little shop where yen bought news- papers, magazines and tobacco was formished with a long ollclotlteoveretl table and stx`woeden chairs where ice cream was served at ail'-hours—as well as "hot meals" at, noon end sup- per time. At about six o'e)ock every evening elurgaret went down to this tittle shop 10 buy the evening paper, and it was there that site notice') the old man in spats. He seemed always to be sitting there at the oilcloth-cnvered table at that alae waiting for his eve- ning meal. The immaculate spats and his polished rimless eyeglasses struck'hfargaret as rather oriel. Seeing him there every evening and pitying- his loneliness emboldened hfargaret to bow to the old Man. Later she said good evening and be- fore e fore a month had passed she felt as If she were well acquainted with this extraordinary old man in spats. One evening feeling lonely herself she asked the old man If he wouldn't late to come and have Supper with her. She had made up her mind that he was a sorry old widower who pre- ferred eating these untempting meals to sitting alone at home. The next evening the old man in spats came to her little lod-fashioned cottage. There was no doubt as to the old man's en- joyment of the meal. He eame again a week later and soon after that be asked Margaret tt he might come every evening. fIe offered her a dollar for each slipper and would agree to no less, hfargaret was delighted with the arrangement. First It provided this homeless old man with it really good meal once it day. Association with her for that hour every tray seemed to break the spell of hls lone liness. Moreover, It broke the spell of her own loneliness. Naturally shy. Margaret had met with no great cor- diality on the port of the villtagers among whom she lived. Lately they seemed to have,grown even less friend- ly towards her. Margaret betaine really very fond of her old men in spats. He never spoke of his own affairs. All that Margaret knew of him was that his name was Mr. Baker. Once she asked a neighbor about Mtn, "Oh lir. linker," Bald the women with an unpleasant note in her voice "T dare say you know a great deal more about Mr. Baker than we do, It's quite true that he leas n pile of money ---which is no doubt whet yen wont to find out" Then one tiny a young main in an expensive car drove up to Margnret'a cottage.
