Huron- County, too, will show' as much pros- perity. and beauty as any part of the country, with its broad, rolling acres of good farm land, its winding streams, its laden ,orchards and ever and anon its patches of woodland, just now turning from green to pale gold or vivid crimson. It is a sight to gladclen the eye and delight the soul. Now, of course, I know full well that the farmers have no markets in which to sell their surplus products at a profit; that the apple crop in Huron county is this year far below the usual, and that the farming in- dustry is hard put to it to make ends meet and carry on properly. I know all this and yet, there is no getting arodnd the fact that the crops on the whole have beengood, that Nature has done her best to supply human needs and that in this good land there is nothing which even remotely re- sembles want. Something has gone wrong with the proper distribution of commodities and those who need the things which farmers grow can- not buy them, hence the farmer, who would like to purchase more of the things which other people make can- not afford to buy them, so both are at a loss. But in the early, olde•1 days Thanksgiving Day was set a- part primarily to return thanks to a kind Providence for sending a boun- tiful harvest and in that respect this Part of the country has had abun- dant reason for thankfulness, �11Gy THANIKSGIVING Once more, 0 Lord, our grateful praise takes wings And mounts to 'Thee, the giver of all things That hien call good; For harvest plenty, In our Land so fair, For joy, and health, and life itself Lift we our prayer. , —Molly Bevan. C17G—� Ridgetown will not have a curfew bell, the town council deciding a- gainst it after discussing it at two consecutive meetings, but the effort will be continued to keep children off the streets after nine o'clock. Feat of the police might send some chil- dren home but if parents are not do- ing their duty all the curfew bells evfer rung will not save youngsters from getting into inischief. Even in a town like Clinton any- one who is out at night, and some - 'times quite late, late, that is for such children to be on the street, will be surprised to see 'children and young people of tender years either playing about in the street or walk- ing to and fro. The street is 11 mighty poor place for children at night without an older person with then and the parents who allow theirs young children to run about without let or hinderance are likely to have reason to regret it. c==t Surely this part of Ontario is more - than ordinarily blessed in having 'c;r:� tea& dttnabittn and GRANT DEAFNESS Deafness is a serious matter. It interferes with education when it roc- • curs early in life, and it is a handi- cap in business. In addition, the deaf are shut out from much' of the en- joyment of life, and from free and • easy communication with their friend.,. The ear is divided into three, parts. The external ear catches the sound, turns it into a canal about one inch in length, at the end of which is:found the ear drum. Beyond the drum is the middle ear, which is connected with the upper part of the throat by a tube. Farther back, encased in • bone, is the inner ear. Deafness is largely preventable, -Very few people are born deaf. In order that deafness may be prevent- ed, the ears must be kept healthy. The hairs which line the ear canal • should never be pulled out, as ser- • ions and painful infections, like boils, often result. Matches, tooth picks, • knitting neddles, hair pins, finger tips • or otheer such, articles should not be, used to clean the ears or to scratch. ' them if itching occurs. There is an old saying that "you should never put anything into your ear smaller than your elbow." Leave your ears alone and leave •children's ears, alone. Do not attempt, to remove wax, you will most likely press some of it against the clrrnn and so cause harm. The ears are -too Precious to entrust to unskilled hands. Deafness usually has its beginning ' !Irt disease of the nose and. throat, most frozen. This will be ehough for eight persons, Grape Butter Pulp the grapes. Cook pulp for 15' minutes.

There are sueh lovely things to oe made from grapes and this is Canada's grape season. They are healthful and delicious, housewives should not only include diem in the daily menu, but put some away for future use. Here are some recipes for using grapes: Grape Trifle Pulp through a sieve two pounds of ripe grapes, enough to keep back the stones, add sugar to taste. Put into trifle dish and cover with whip- ped cream, nicely flavored. Serve very cold.

Remove and put into glasses. Preserved Grapes A delicious preserve can be made of Grapes. Cut each grape open with a knife and extract the seeds; add sugar to the fruit, pound for pound; cook slowly for one-half hour or longer until the syrup and pulp of the grape are perfectly clear and transparent. —REBEKAH. from whence the disease spreads up the tube which connects the throat and middle ear. It is obvious that the health of the middle ear depends upon the health of the nose and throat. Any condition which causes inflam- mation of the nose er throat is apt to spread up into the middle ear and set up inflammation there; tissues are destroyed, pus is formed, and the ear discharges. It is in this way that the common cold, measles, scarlet fever, diptheria, diseased tonsils and adenoids are the underlying causes of middle ear disease which leads to deafness in later years. The nose should not be washed out except under a doctor's direction, as in so doing infection may be ,forced up into the middle ear. For the same reason, the nose should never be blown violently, and above all never when there is a cold in the head. The prevention of deafness depends chiefly upon proper .care of common calds, adequate treatment of measles and other infections, prevention of diphtheria, removal of diseased ton. sits and adenoids, and blowing the nose properly. Leave your ears alone, keep your nose and throat healthy, secure skill- ed care if there is anything wrong, and you will retain the use of one of yourmost valued organs of sense, the ear. .

The picture of Canada making fine furniture from British West Indies trees and then selling some of that furniture to the very people who cut the trees, is seen between the lines of an article appearing in the cur- rent issue of the Canada -\Vest In- dies Magazine. The article is by Sir Norman La- mont, a British authority on timber. He says the British West Indies a- bound in trees which will be valuable long after man has discovered a means of dispensing entirely with Softwood materials. Mahoganies, crappe, samaii, balsam, cypr'e, locust, purpleheart, roble and many other species are named --by Sir Norman at' a veritable tropical treasure as yet almost unexploited. ..SOME FISH PAMPERED, SOME NOT If you think the much -fished -for fish of Canada are all to be pitied,. make a note of what happens to some of the luckier varieties. They in- habit gay summer resorts in summer and fine city hotels in winter. Now that Jasper Park Lodge, in the Canadian Rockies is closed, the gold fish that summered outdoors in Jasper have arrived., by railway ex - prises in milk cans, at the Hotel Mac- donald in Edmonton and at the Forr Garry in Winnipeg, there to spend the winter in luxurious indoor pools. Less fortunate are the fish that summered at Mivalti Lodge, another Canadian National Railways sum- mer .resort. They are of the species bass. and bass are considered ineoni1 patible with gold fish. The Minalti fish were put into the outdoor pools by children last spring and have been released into the. Winnipeg river to mend the winter in deep waters, fax from the maddening crowd, Even less fortunate will he the Minaki bass of next year. It is plan- ned to place numerous speciiuens in the outdoor pools next spring, to fat- ten them during the sunny months and to serve 11151 i as pieces de resist twice on the dining room tables of the Lodge. ? a1S. s.
