A Column Prepared Especially for Women --
But Not Forbidden to Men
THE CRADLE WAY
God comes to rnan in flames of fire;
In rushing winds of fierce desire:
In light all blinding and intense:
In thunderings of Omnipotence.
But to a woman's heart, He comes,
Not with the bleat andblare of drums
Nor with the shriek of trumpets—
nay!
He enters by. --)The Cradle Way,
'Twas woman's hand that did prepare
The King of Glory's earthly wear:
A tremulous woman who uprose.,
And wrapped Hint round with swad-
dling clothes.
It was a woman's arm that erept
Around God's Darling as he slept.
And here lies woman's right to fanner
To her the first sweet Christmas
came.

Christmas, with all the hallowed

There will be the family rounions
and happy gatherings here and

are being looked forward to with
great anticipation. To all these' hap-

Merry Christmas. There is too lit-)

anxiety, too much uncertainty, too
much real trouble and sorrow, so
that I like to think of the happy
folk; folk, with health and happy as-
sociations and enough of this world's
goods to keep them free from eailc-
ing care. I would wish all the very
best of good times at this festive
season. But I would also think of

who are never free from pain, whose

ACID AND ALKALINE FOODS
'We all !snow the game of see -saw;
one side of the board goes down and
the other up unless the weights on
both ends are equal, when the see-
saw remains balanced.
We play a form of see -saw game
with our foods. One side is made
up of acid-forming foods; the other
side of alkaline. Neither one
should be greater than the ether, for
good health requires that a reason-
able balance be maintained between
the two,
We cannot tell from the taste of
foods whether their effect will be
acid or alkanine in the body. After
the food has heen digested and used
up, there remains a residue or ash,
and it is the reaction of the ash
which decides whether the food is
acid or alkaline in its effect upon
'the body.
Fruits which are commonle.
thought of as acid are, as a matter
of fact, alkaline foods, because they
leave an alkaline ash. Prunes and
cranberries are fruits which are an
exception to the general rule; they
aro, acid-forming.
In addition to fruits, vegetables
and potatoes are alkaline foods.
Meats,, eggs and cereals are acid
foods, Milk, fat and sugar` and prae-
tieahy neutral.
Ti}e body is able to adjust itself in
a remarkable way to an excess of
either group. There are, haweverl
limits to its power, and there is no
reason why it should be unduly cal-
led upon to exercise it when a pro-
per selection of foods will make sure
thea the balance will be readily
maintained.
It is in winter that we are most
apt to overeat of acid foods. Fresh
fruits and vegetables may not be
available at this season, with the
result that the diet is built up of
meats, eggs, potatoes, bread , pies
, and cereals, all of which are acid-
forming, with the exception of pe;
tatoes. There is nothing wrong
with any Ione of these foods, but a
healthy body requires a variety of
foods, the variety ensuring that the
diet shall be balanced in all its
constituents, including acid and al-
kaline foods.
From whatever point we come to
consider diet, we find the need for
a variety of foods. It is appreciated
that it is not always easyto secure
variety, but, in many cases, where
it is possible, no real effort is made
to do so, When . meals are being
planned, it is well to remember the
need fol• a variety of food and the
necessity for avoiding an excess of'
any one kind of food. '

days • bring • weariness and whose
knights bring added pain. It is vain
to •wish them mee invent, perhaps,
but we can at least wish them com-
fort of mind; the good cheer of the
.very • heart of the Christmas mes-
sage. The Christ who was so sym-
pathetic when 'on- earth •is not un-
mindful of his suffering people, now,
Theli there are those who are sad
and lonely, to whom the festivities
of Christrnas time bring no joy.
These too, I would commend to the
Grid -Man in whose honour we cele-
brate the day. He alone can com-
fort such as. these. But again, we
think of those who are full ,of anx-
iety for the future, whose cares
press hard, so hard that it is im-
possible to put them aside even for
a day and that day the best holiday
in the year; and those who have not
in hand the wherewithal to make
festivity at this season, those who
cannot provide the necessities for
their loved ones, not to mention the
little luxuries which used to be com-
monplaces at this season. All 'of
the above should be' considered, and
helped if it is within the possibilities.
.The latter class are the easiest to
help. Many can spare a little to pro-
vide for those who are in need and
so bring joy to little children and
freedom from anxiety to many par-
ents and others, who cannot bear to
see the little ones needing. Let us
do what we can to help someone
have a happier Christmas than would
be possible without our assistance,
even though that help may not be
very great.
A Merry Christmas.

SUMMERHILL
The following from the Carberry,
(Man.), News, refers to the death of
a native of Goderich township, John
Gorrell, the Gorrell family having
lived for years on a farm on the
Base Linen ear Summerhill;
"In the passing of Mr. Gorrell the
district and province loses a citizen
of the highest type of manhood. A
man of generous impulses, he never
forgot the hospitable ways of the
pioneer. The stranger never failed
to find food and shelter if he sought
it at his hands and he was at home
at the bedside of the sick, and de-
lighted in all kinds, of neighborly
offices, Ile had borne adversity,
bravely and prosperity quietly. Mr,
Correll was a strong temperance
man and never missed an opportune
ity to advance the cause of prohibi-
tion, In the Methodist, and latterly
the United church, he took an active
"•'rt and was an elder of -Carberry
United at the time of his death.
Mr. Correll, like most of the
pioneers of the Carberry Plain, was
a native of Ontario, coming from
Clinton first to Manitoba in
1871. Here he remained for a cou-
ple of years, returning to the east
where he remained till the spring of
1882 when he again came west, set-
tling in the Qu'AppeIIe district for a
short time when he came to Garber-
ry taking up land in the Pleasant
Point district where he farmed sue..
eessfully till 1911, when he retired,
taking up residence in Carberry.
He took an active interest in town
municipal affairs and served the
ratepayers well as couneil\or for the
west ward. For a number of years
he was secretary manager of the
Carberry Agricultural Society, a
number of the fine buildings at the
Fair grounds being a monument .to
his careful management and exeeue
true ability.
At the celebration of their golden
wedding annivessary Mr. and Mrs.
Gerrell were recipients of congratu-
lations and good wishes from friend()
both far and near, the event being
an occasion for Carberry friends to.
express in a tangible way their es.)
teem for the elderly couple. Mrs..
Gorreil passed away in 1927.
Two daughters and two sons are
left to mourn, Mrs. H. Calvert and
Mrs. Mark Ellerington, and. Chris.
and Alex. Gorrell, all of Carberry;
together with three brothers. Frank,
Oxbow,: Sask.; Robert, Crystal Gityt.
Man.,. and Thomas, in Florida; and
two sisters, 'Mrs. Mackie, : Pasadena.
Cal,, and Mrs. Cowan, who has made
'her home in Carberry for the past
five years. •
Interment tookplace on Wednes-
day, Rev. Swyers paying tribute to
the worth of deceased at the service.
in the United church, burial being at
Carberry cemetery."

"Merry Christmas, how do you do
May health and fortune smile 011 you
And may your friendships ever be
A source of joy to -thine and thee,

SOMEBODY
Somebody did a golden deed;
Somebody proved a friend in need;
Somebody sang a beautiful song;
Somebody smiled the whole day long;
Somebody thought, "Tis sweet to
live";
Somebody said, "I'm pleased to
give";
Somebody fought a valiant fight;
Somebody lived to shield the right;
Was that "somebody" you?
TO MARY
All little ones are lovable,
.Sweet and endearing are;
The dusky oues, the gleaming ones
As golden as a star;
The little ones whose eheelcs are
pale,
And those so rosy -red;
For there hangs a magic halo
Over every tousled head.
But, if 1 mush -confess it,
There's a place I've -set apart
For the little ones with freckles
In the kingdom of my heart;
And if I were a patriarch
1 mould lift my hands and bless
The freckled lads and lasses
With a special tenderness,

ONLY GOD IS GREAT
A certain Pasha, dead these thous-
and years,
Once from his palace fled in sudden
tears,
And had this sentence on the city's
gate
Deeply engravcn, "Only Gocl is
great."
So those four words above the city's
noise
Hung like the accents of an angel's
voice,
And evermore from each high bar-
bican,
Salute each returning caravad.
Lost is that city's glory, Every
gust
Lifts, with crisp• leaves, the unknown
Pasha dust,
And all is ruin—save one wrinkled
gate
'Whereon is written, "Only ,God is
great.'
A COOKIE JARS
Oh now when it is five o'clock
I always go to tea,
Some flowered, candielighted place
Where someone's meeting me.
But every now and then I wish
I still were eight or ten,
And tea time meant a pantry shelf
And cookie jar again;
A table's edge where I might sit
With sweet milk in a cup,
And watch .blue dusk blow down
the street,
And eat the cookies up;
And dream some very secret dreams,
And wish on early stars—
I pity children who don't know
The lure of cookie jars!
TO A RETURNED TRAVELLER
Wise with your wanderings, you
thought to find • I
Us somehow altered, too; but in a -
mato •
Found us contented with the very
ways, •
The thoughts, the projectsthat you
left behind,
And in 'our littleness we were so
blind, •
Unihalten by the splendor of your
days
We talked of them as of a finished
0001
And then forgot, nor knew we'were
unkind.
Then, in the grip sof swift reaction
held,
You kept yourself apart; we thought
you strange
Unconscious of the worlds' dividing
us.
We did not guess how fiercely you
rebelled
To think that you must take in poor
exchange
Our hobby horses for • your Pegasus.
—Diana Carroll.
LOVE'S SERVICE
Your presence is a psalm of praise,
And as its measure grandly rings
God's finger finds my heart and
inlays
A Te Deum upon its strings.
I never see you, but I feel
That I, in gratitude, must kneel.
Your head, down bent on brow of
snow
Crowned with its shining braids of
hair,
To pre, because I love you so,
Is in itself a tender prayer,
All faith, all meekness, and all trust
"Amen!" I cry :because I must.
Your clear eyes hold the text apart,
And shame my love of place and
pelf
With "Love the Lord with all thine
heart,
And love thy neighbor as thyself,"
0 warm true eyes, sorely I need
More knowledge of your gracious
creed.
The benediction of your face—
Your lifted face—doth make a road
For white -robed Peace and golden
Grace
To reach my heart and take its
load.
Dear woman --saint, I how the knee
And give God thanks for Love and
Thee. —Jean Blewett,

SPIRITS OP CHRISTMAS
I think we all, like Scrooge, are
visited
Upon this wondrous eve h;; Spirits
three—
The ghost of Christmas Past, and
Christmts Present,
And that mysterious "Christmas 'Yet
To Be."
•
The ghost of Christmases now long
Departed
Guides us, with taper burning
bright,
Till, by some well -remembered
fireside
A -gleam with holly and soft can-
dlelight,
We hear the echo of our childish
voices
Singing the carol of the "Holy
Night."
THE OLD CUSTOMS
I love the dear old customs
That bless our Christmas Day:
The holy and the candles,
The trees and ribbons gay;
The carols and the laughter,
The gifts from friend to friend;
And best of all the greeting .cards
That kndly people send.
As sweet as bells far chiming
The joyous words they bear,
The little simple messages
That greet you everywhere;
The wishes that they offer
For "health" for wealth and cheer,
For each and glad contentment'
To meet the coming year."
13right with the crimson ribbons
And painted belly spray,
Their golden magic warms a heart
That's half the world away;
'Wherever ship makes .haven,
By alien shore or tide,
The little cards of Christmas go
To bless some Ione hearthside.
I love this festive season,
The roaring fires aglow,
The song and feast and happiness,
The starlight and the snow;
But best of all I love the cards
That kindly people send
To voice a Christmas blessing
From friend to absent friend.
--Molly Bevan.
