For some. years now, ever since
the close of the war, in fact, the
tendency has been, ;especially a-
mongst the younger people :but not
altogether -confined to them, to .run
to extremes. Extremes in dress;
extremes in seeking pleasure; •ex-'
tremes :in malting money and now
extremes in saving, on the part of
souse folk. And, although it mar
not be so noticeable yet, there are
signs of a return to moderation.
And it is net to be wondered at.
• A constant rush after thrills is
'bound to become wearisome; the
'haste to get rich got a bad smash in
the eye some time ago; daring in

There are signs that the world is

which it was thrown by the tragedy
of war. ante the sudden cessation of
the titanic' struggle. Por four years
nothing nattered to the .'peoples
concerned but the prosecution. of the

we were admonished that "business

business as usual it was. But that
was,seen 'discarded and the time

should be hearitly ashamed of that
motto. It was "win this war," no

Hundreds of lives sure sacrificed
•each year because of inexcusable de-
lay. Loving parents are shockingly
slow i}it securing for their children
the protection against disease which
Is now available.
For one reason or other many
parents delay in this matter. They-
Act
hey.act as though their child were differ-
ent from all other cltildreti, and as
though he were safe from germs of
diesase to which other ,children fall
victin.
Too often parents believe that
their child is safe because he is still,
in their eyes, just a baby. They will
put off having him protected for an-
other year, ar wait until he starts
school.
•
Delay cf this kind is surprising, be-
cause it simply ignores the fact that
the common communicable disease do
attack with great frequency the pre-
schooI child. These diseases are in-
deed most damaging and often fatal'
in their results amongst these young-
er ehildren.
Unfortunately we are as yet unable
to protect children against all the
ecommnnicable diseases. Fortunately
'we are able to protect them against
'smallpox and diphtheria by the use of
well established Methods.
There is no reason -why many "hun-
dreds of Canadian children should
suffer from the ravages of diphtheria
each year, nor is there any excuse for
the fact that several hundred lives
are lost yearly as a result of this die
ease. That such a condition continues
to exist is clue to one factor and one
alone; delay on the part of parents
to have their children immunized or
Protected against diphtheria. Delay
means that the child gees unprotected
No one knows when or where the
child may ,be attacked by the germs
cf diphtheria. An attack means ill-
ness; it may mean permanent dam-
age to his body or even death.
Diphtheria immunization has been
used extensively. Thousands of ehild.
ren are iso longer in danger of suf-
fering from an attack of diphtheria.
They are prepared to deal with the
germs, and their bodies cannot be
harmed by them. •
To those parents who have not as
yet secured this prctectioa for their
children we would put the question
"Why Delay?" Is it not teo great a
risk? Is it fair to leave your ohild un-
protected, when ;prdtection can be
readily and safely secured? There is
no better time than the present to eli-
minate the dangers of diphtheria
from your home.

METHODS OF BLANCHING
CELERY
(Experimental Farms Note.)
Who does not like to have ce]aiy
en the table? It is one of the most
easily cultivated plants and one that
should be found in every garden.
The plants can be grown by start-
ing seed in the House between the
middle and the end of March in a
bright window in a flat or shallow box
and transplanting the plants two in-
ches apart into other boxes when the
true leaf appears. They May be set
in the open anytime from early May
to middle Ju»e depending on the sea-
son or the district in which it is
grown. A. rich moist coal soil is best
for celery, So muck soils which supply
an ebullience of water for the crop
have been found especially suited to
the growth of this crop, mare partic-
ularly when liberal manuring has
been done. The plants are usually set
in rows four feet apart and six in-
cites apart in time rows either in trene
cites six inches deep or on the level
depending which blanching system is
used.
As the object hm grtwing celery is
to obtain plants of good size and well
blanched, an experiment was started
in 1928 at the Doritinion Experimen-
tal Station Icaptskasing, Ontario, to
compare the results in earliness,
crispness, blanching flavour and
yield from different meth^cls of blan-
ching. The results fi;om this experi-
ment would seem to indicate that
celery may be fairly well blandlme4
by either ready roofing, beards, ear-
thing up on the level or planting in
trenches and filling these and after-
wards earthing up. That grown in
the dcuble alternated row and blanch-
ed with roofing paper has given the
largest yield, but it is far surpassed
in quality by both that produced in
tl'enehes and that earthed up an the
level, particularly the farmer. That.
planted on the level and blanched
with boards has given the lowest
yield and •the quality has also been
rather poor. The use of boards and
tar paper or roofing paper has the
decided advantage of requiring less
labour, and the rows may also be
Wanted -much closer together. If the
hest duality is desired however, the
blanching must be done by earthing
tip preferably in trenches. '
GIRLS EAT FRUIT AND GET
BEAUTY
Sir William- Arbuthnot Lane, not-
ed specialist in ditetics, is authority
for the statement that "fresh fruit,
eaten daily, does more to beautify
the complexion than any cosmetic."
Perhaps this scientific pronounce-
ment explains the iemarlcably clear
and fresh complexions of Canadian
girls, for few countries in the world

A FACINATING TRUE STORY
That truth in et- ranger' than fiction
is' very often .demonstrated. This was
•set forth very strikingly in a recent
issue of the Toronto Weekly Star in
ainost engaging story of the exploits
fo Bareness Cala Jenssen—'ritislt spy
extraordinary. This women but 28
years of age has had adventure, as
she says herself, in the raw. The re-
visal of her experiences read like the
wildest dreams of an Oppenheim., -
When a mere youngster of 18 in
South Africa the baroness was assig-
ned the task 'of ascertaining the
Scnree of arms and ammunition that
were getting into the hands of the na-
tives who were evidently being melted
to rebellion against the whites. After
-much investigation which took her in-
to many queer places the baroness
was able to inform her chief that the
contraband goods were being unlrad-
ed on a reef and brought to the shore
a light draft boat and that Ger-
man agents were prepared for an
armed outbreak on the part of the
black natives.
The success of the young spy whose
beauty stood her in goal stead re-
sulted in a call to England to serve
the British InteIli'gence Department.
She was assigned the task of discov-
ering the leak in negotiations be-
tween the British government and the
new regime of IHemel Pasha -in Tor-
key. A Turkish reactionary at Ostend
was suspected and it became the duty
of Baroness Jenssen to get his secret
and some documents. She succeeded
in subduing the Turkish spy by means
of poisoned kisses and escaped with
the contents of his ease and a bullet
wound through the 'calf of a leg.
The climax of the exploits of this
wrnlan, who says she never knew
what physical fear is, was the extrac-
tion of the Zinovioff letter informing
the communists in Britain that should
the Socalist guyermnent be returned
in 1925 an attempt would be made to
estabilish communism in Britain. "The

And oft between, When aur so-

We pondered all the happy days we

Each with its own pechlinr interest

And as we thanked them, leaving

We saw the shades of smiles, tears

For each of them it had been tene-

The attic told of shelter; even the

Of stores 'gainst cold and 'want;

And where our books had been —
