The Department of Education is
- sending out to the schools of Ontario
a IittIe booklet suggesting the hearty
resumption of the celebration of
I"Goodwill Day" Thursday, May 18th,
II the thirty-fourth anniversary of the
li meeting at The Hague, May 18th,
1899, to consider some means by
•which international disputes might be
settled without recourse to war.
The peace movement from 1899 on
did not prove strong enough tc pre-
vent the outbreak of the World War
in 1914 and during that terrible
time the spirit of good wail suffered
almost complete anihilation. But she
is coming to life again and many peo-
ple are working together to find a
way to keep permanent pence among
the nations.
.A leading part has been taken for
many years by the children of Wales
in "Goodwill Day" and last year they
broadcast a message to the children
of other countries and are planning
a similar broadcast this year.
Men and women of goodwill every-
where are hoping and longing for
the clay when peace will be establish-
ed, when nations can live together es
comfortably as communities in the
several countries.
"This war has been so terrible,"
' said the statesmen, after the Great
War, "that there must never be an-
other. Fighting is wasteful and
unreasonable: dogs fight for a bone
because they cannot reason that to
divide it is fairer and more sensible.
Men can reason and their children are
taught not to fight for what they
want. If savages disagree they
fight, but in civilized countries all
ever the world the citizens have
learned not to fight: they make laws,
they appoint courts of justice and
policemen to see that these laws are
not broken, and quarrels between
Y
citizen and citizen are settled with-
out force or bloodshed.
"Let us make a society which will
give' the same advantages to nation
and nation," said the statesmen. "Lot
us -decid'e aIi futureinternational
quarrels without fighting. Let us
snake a League of Nations which will.
arrange this."
And the League of Nattons was
formed. But, while the League of
Nations has not been able to com-
pletely prevent war, still it has ac-
complished much in the past fifteen
years in the direction of the peaceful
settlement on international difficul-
ties. And as it is necessary that to
do their best work the League of Na-
tions, the great international court
of the world, must be understood and
that the nations should be interested
in it, so the schools 'are asked to
take it up and have a program for
that day setting forth the work of
the League and the great problem of
world peace.
Mothers of families, who are a
mighty force in all nations, as well as
teachers, may do much to cultivate
the will to peace in the minds of the
coming generation. One of the
things we all might assist in cutivat-
ing is a tolerance for those of other
nationality who come to our shores.
Wb are so apt to give the cold shouI-
der to "foreigners," unmindful of the
fact that these foreigners, many of
them, are bringing to us much of
great value from their older civiliza-
tions; that they can teach 113 very
much and enrich our lives if we will
but allow them to, meeting them with
kindness and sympathy, instead of
with suspicion and haughtiness.
,If all nations would but learn to
respect those of other races tite
chances of war would be almost nil,
'It is suspicion which causes war more
than anything else. But the children
niay bring a new world int being, a
new world of mutual respect and tol-
erance among the nations. May the
happy day be speeded.

MOSQUITOES, BLACK PLIES AND
THINGS LIKE THAT
Many persons go to the Canadian
weeds on business, a greater num-
ber go for pleasure, and mosquitoes
and other pests "go" for all of them.
It is unfortunately true that during
the spring and eumnner months insect
pests ate usuaily present in dearly
all sections of the forest, and no one
is immune from their attacks. A
strict adherence to certain simple
preeautionery measures" hicwever,
will do much to mitigate the discom-
fort caused by these pests, and make
it possible for anyone to visit the
woods during the summer months.

character of the spring season and

diurnal and do not attack between
dusk and daylight,
Midges and punlcies are numerous at
approximately the same time as mos-

occurrence and abundance. They at-
tack at all tines of the day and night
but are usually worst between day-
light and sunrise. They are frequent-
ly numerous in grassy areas,
Black flies breed in running water

and are usually abundant in the vi -

pine lands they are leas numerous.

abundant on hot days in June, July

The adjective "square" is gener-
ally used in a complimentary way.
"A square -meal" is a tern which im-
plies that the "peal is satisfying. Food
should be pleasant to taste and, at
the same time , give a sense of sat-
isfaction, or if we prefer to describe
it as such—!"a square meal".
When we recommend:that a variety
of foods be eaten, and that milk,
vegetables and fruit be used daily,
we are not suggesting that meals
should. be less satisying. Food can
be selected to give •satisfaction and,
et the same time, meet the needs of
the body.
We hear far too much about the
particular value of this or that food
with the result that there is a tend-
ency to think of foods as falling into
two c:vlsses, the good and the bad.
There is no pee- food which is a
perfect and complete food in the sense
that it meets all our ' needs. Milk
comes nearest to this ideal, but milk
alone is not sufficient. In all foods.
there is some value or scene' good,
and it is by combining and using a
wide variety' of foods that we secure
-what we need.
It is not to be expected that every
housewife will be familiar with the
food values :of every kind of food,
der to supply the family with an ad-
equate and satisfactory diet.
Indeed, all she needs to know is
that the day's meals should include
vegetables; fruit; milk and milk pro-
ducts; meats, fish and eggs; cereals;
and sugar. Breakfast will consist of
cereal, toast, fruit and milk; dinner,
of meat or fish, potatoes, vegetables,
and desserts of -fruit, custard, or
plain pudding; supper, of a hot dish
of soup; eggs, or scalloped fish; to-
mato, or cabbage; cheese; or a salad
of 'vegetables or fruit, on Clays when
a salad isnot served at dinner; fruit
and milk, These aro merely sug-
gestions; the items may be varied,
but it is by using :such menus that
the needed variety is secured, and a
suffiency 'of aft .essential foods ob- s
tanned.
The responsibility rests with the
housewife for it is she who piansthe
meals for the family, and upon' her
success depends whether or not eaoh
member of the family secures the
feeds that are needed for the main-
tenance of a healthy body.

The one really effective cleans of

Bites are painful and relief is ob-
tained by applying household ammon-
nia, glycerin, alcohol, tincture of io-
dine or ordinary toilet soap.
The period of infestation by insect
pests is comparatively short and no
one need be deterred from making a
trip to enjoy the out -door life of
Canada on their account. The plea-
sures iof Canada's fields, lakes and
streams far outweigh the discomfort
of insect attacks, and the chances
are that the locality seected for

MOONLIGHT
Pale moonlight silvers all the leaves
Of slim trees growing tall,
And little misty shadows makes
Upon the garden wall.
The lilies' petals ghostly pale
Geam white beneath the spoon,
Soft winds among the rustling flow-
ers
In little whispers croon.
All pallid shine, the daisy trail
Amid the darkened grass,
And down the hedge with silent
haste
The silver moonbeams pass.

To bring them to Ills side.

THE IMPERFECT DAY
When you come to the end of the
Sabbath Day,
And you sit alone In ,your pew,
And the sound of the "last bell" has
cried away,
And scarce anyone there but you,
Do you think where on earth the
brethren are,
And the sisters, so ]rind and quaint
Who sit at home, or deal' knows
where,
Who might be out, but they ain't!
Well, thus often ends the Sabbath's
career,
As the Sabbath's lone Hours expire
The choir sweetly chant for the pas-
tor's ear,
And the pastor talks back to the
choir;
Alas; that many a day so stands
In memory not far to search;
And the lights go out, and those few
shake hands,
And the janitor '.rocks up the
church!

If apples should never have worms

If corn should grow

Nor moth, nor rust should corrupt

If excellence could for a

And honk their • own horns when

QUIETNESS
There is a truth in the heart's core
'of life,
Unheeded, hidden, till we reach the
close
Of some long day of passion, toil, or
strife,
Too hurt for tears, too weary for
- repose.
'Tis this! That nothing matters after
alt
Except the stars and the deep peace
of snow.
The songs of wind and wave that
rise and fall,
The wonder !of green things that
spring and blow;
Then we are fain to spare the puny
strength
Of our small souls, to drop out of the
race
And be possessed of quietness at
length;
But morning comes, and once again
we pace
The world's vain high road, glamor
in our eyes;
And only death, I think, will make us
wise.

vember and Other Poems,

AFTER ALL
A blazing fire in winter and a gar-
den in the spring—
A bed of pansy blossoms and a tree
where robins sing;
Some trinkets in the corners of the
tittle hone we keep;
A few brave years of laughter and
the tears that all must weep --
'Tis only these eve gather through
the time we have to live.
As soon we shall discover these are
all this life can give;
Though fame and wealth may lure us
though both of them we gain
Tho home nnist ring with Iaughter
or all the rest is vain --
And love must bicl us welcome when
all the struggle's : done.
'Or paltry are the prizes our strength
and skill have won..
So let's give some thpught to tulips
and agarden in the spring—
Let's take the time to listen when
the robin redbreasts sing,
Let's plan the home for laughter and
let's not forget to keep
The faith we shall be needing when
its time for us to weep,
For if there be les friendships and
laved ones cease to smile,
Then neither fame or fortune for
bong can be worth while.

DISCOURAGEMENT
It was once' announced, so the story'
goes,
That the devil was going to quit,
That all his tools would be up for
sale -4
The whole infernal kit.
Malice and Envy, Hatred and Strife—
Each marked at a bargain price—
Jeatousy, Pride and otherwise
All implements of Vice.
A bad and sorry -looking lot
Attractively displayed
Ent just apart from all the rest
A great wedge-shaped tool lay—
A harmless -looking simple tool,
Much worn, as one could trace,
But higher priced than all the rest
In that infernal place.
Then ,someone asked the devil what
This, great wedge-shaped tool was.
"Why that's 'DISCOURAGEMENT,'
he said,
"It's higher priced because
"It's mach more useful onto me
"Than any of its brothers;
"It would prevail where I would fail,
"Withany of the others.
"Few people know it's mine, and so
"It works with perfect ease,
"For once inside (I'Il put you wise)
"I do just what I please.
"Just let the get the consciousness
"Discouraged, downcast, blue—,
i"Eureka! I have found the way'
"Satanic work to do!"
! Suffice to say, the price to pay
The devil for his "pet,"
Was just so high, no one could buy
And so he's got it yet,
Anel what is more he's using it,
And in these times of stress
! Will no doubt find "DISCOURAGE.'

Of all his tools, the best.
