And though women have attained much in the pant couple of decades, they will probably never attain to complete freedom, nor do I think it desirable that they should, the girl who does not flaunt the conventions is happier herself and more esteem- ed by others. But a writer puts it this way: "Somehow a girl's courage, initia- tive and general information do not receive attention. Her companions are often arbitrarily limited, her reading not directed along inform- ational lines. She is, increasingly, sent to college; but, without under- valuing what colleges do give, it is fair to say that they are about per- fect at excluding first-hand exper- ience and general information. And then there is conventionality, the fear of the unknown, exerting a strong influence during youth. As a women approaches middle age there is little to prevent her seizing the ad- vantages granted her brother at 0— the right to talk to whom she will and ask what she will—.but by that time she may have lost the habit of the inquiring mind." But while a girl has to combat ob- stacles not even dreamed of by her brother, she has many compensations and will do yell to keep up the quest for knowledge, so that she may be an intellegent human being. eta "If you want to be beautiful," says an expert, "be healthy. There is nothing in the whole list of cosmetics that can equal the clear skin, cleat eyes, and general air of well being that comes with good health, and no cream or face powder made can real - full. Spread with . buttered bread crumbs, bake until, crumbs are brown and ; serve- hot. The', cheesesauce may be added to the cabbage and served without put- ting in the oven or without adding bread crumbs. Potato and. Cheese, Salad. Mix finely dropped or grated cheese with cold potatoes cut in cubes. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with salad. dressing. Place by spoonfuls pn lettuce leaves and serve cold. Chopped celery, finely minced on- ions or pimento in small pieces may be added and give variety to the salad. Cheese Paste for Sandwiches 1 ounce grated cheese; 1-2 ounce Tomato catsup; 2 teaspoonfuls chop- ped nuts; A little onion juice or grated onion; 1-2 tablespoonful salt; Pepper. Mix ingredients together and beat well. Spread between thin slices of bread. This will be sufficient paste for about 24 sandwiches. REBEKA H ly imitate the genuine article. Every-' thing that makes for health is an in- vestment in beauty, and the money spent on bottles of milk, fresh fruit. and 'fresh vegetables brings more lasting results than the same amount spent on trying out all sorts of skin foods, creams and powders, while neglecting the health. It is not intended that cosmetics should be done away with; but they should come second in import- ance to the foods, the water and the exercise that lay the foundation for foundation creams, Take a good look at the next girl that you consider exceptionally nice looking, and see if a lot of her at- tractiveness is not in her appearance of cleanness and freshness. No a- mount of powder or cream can se- cure that particular look unless the whole body is clean inside and out, clean with the cleanness of good health and the use of an abundance of soap and water. Proper food, exercise and •rest lay the foundation for good health, and good health lays the foundation of beauty" e=.7t NO FOOD LIKE CHEESE Cheese is a real food. It's use in many meals will make them more nourishing and attractive and as warm weather appr'oache's and treat is not eaten so of- ten cheese dishes are nourish- ing and are welcomed by the family.

RAISING SPRING BROILERS (Experimental Farms Note) The fact that nature has ordained that there shall be an almost equal division of sexin the propagation of the chicken would lead to an unfor- tunate waste in disposing of the en- ormous number of surplus males' hatched each year were it not for the fortunate condition that she has also devised the most palatable and edible meat in the young spring broiler. Owing to 'the low cost of produc- tion and the quick turnover there is a very fair market' and a profitable return on this product, providing the opportunity is grasped at the right time. There is little our no profit when the season advances and a great quantity of inferior birds is available. Investigations to'b'o the cost of rearing broilers at the Dominion Ex- perimental Station, Harrow, Ontario,. have shown that a good Barred Ply- mouth Rock coekeral will reach broil- er stage in eight to nine weeks and that the average weight of 1.38 pounds is made on an average feed consumption of 5 pounds plus green feed. The total cost of rearing will be governed by feed, plus cost of egg, incubation and mortality, but a, successful batch of broilers should show a fair margin !of profit even though the present market price may be less than has been usual in pre- vious years, Separate the young males from the pullets and force the growth of those that are intended for broilers by confining them in a pen, allow- ing two feet per bird. Feed liberally a palatable dry mash and when the birds are about six weeks old finish off with a fattening mixture con- sisting of two parts ground corn and one part ground oats mixed to the consistency of thick batter with sour skimmed milk. Change the straw or wood shavings litter frequently, to ensure the health of the birds, and clean legs and feet when they are marketed alive or dressed. PRINCESS REARS SONS TO BE. GOOD SPORTS Royalty's rule for rearing children, as revealed in the London household of Peincess Mary, centre about the principles .of good sportsmanship and simplicity: George and Gerald Laseelles, the attractive sons of (Princess Mary and her husband, are adored throughout the kingdom and know nothing of their popularity. They do not even know that they are frequently re- ferred to as "perfect little English gentlemen to the core:' It is related that when her first child was born and the little white bundle was placed in her arms. Princess Mary turned to her hus- band and said: "Oh, I do want him to be a good sport." And that wish of Princess Mary has been kept foremost in the 'Las- celles nursery. The eyes of George and Gerald are seldom dimmed by tears, and crying is discouraged by their mother. TO George and Gerald, the King of England is just "Grandpa," the Prince of Wales is simply "Uncle David" and Princess Mary, daugh- ter of the King, and adored of the Empire, is merely "Mummie" and their pal Princess Mary cannot be truthful- ly called an old-fashioned mother neither is she an ultra -modern one. She seems to have struck a happy medium in the combining of the best principles of many systems of moth- erhood and through intimate associa- tion with her children has instilled in them the qualities she wished. There is no "baby talk" in the Las - cellos household. The parents speak correctly and the sons follow suit. "I think that a child can appre- ciate beautiful words," Princess Mary once told a friend, "and I don't want my children to have to unlearn hun- dreds of silly words later." Princess Mary and her husband never talk down" to their sons, and,. as a result, both boys have perfect diction and an excellent vocabulary. Good reading has also contributes] to this. Often Princess Mary, when her sons were smaller would go into the nursery and, with Gerald in her lap and George on a cushion at her feet, Would read them Andersen's "Fairy Tales." THE ODDITIES OP OUR LANGUAGE We'll begin with box; the plural boxes, But the pluvr.al of ox should be oxen not oyes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of mouse cannot be 'meese. You 'nay find . a lone mouse, or a whole nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses not hice. If the plural ,of man is always call- ed men, Why shoulin't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural may be called cows,.or kine. But a bow, if repeated, is never call- ed bine; ' And the plural of vow is vows, nev- er' vine. If the singular's this, and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss ever be written keese? Than one may be that, end the two would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hese. Wo speak of a brother, and also of brethern, But though we say mother, we never say methern. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, and continue until July llth. It is But imagine the feminine, she this, to be hoped the weather may not be and shim! Anomtoo hot during those days. A PLEA FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S BENEFIT The Lions Club 'of lGoderich is a- bout to roar again. It is a good Roar, a human Roar, which should be heard and beetled in every corner of Huron County and beyond—for the last four years has amply shown to every resident of Huron the wonderful re- sults attained by the Lions Benefit Fund, and it should be the pleasure and duty ,of every resident of town, village and farm of the County to make it possible for us to carry on. Funds are necessary and we know personally and collectively that the times are not of the best, but the Lions have evolved a plan whereby there will be a county wide enter- tainment of sterling value at the charge of fifty cents per ticket—and every fifty cents goes to the Crip- pled Children THAT IS THE BIG OBJECT. The concerts will be given by artists of the first order—Mr, Les- lie Sommerville, Concert and Radio Organist of C.K.O.C. Miss Peggy i Moreland,. Child Wonder Violinist, .., Gold Medalist at the Sttatford Mus- ical Festival of 1933, whom the judges acclaimed as the outstanding juvenile violinist of all the festivals at Stratford. Mr. Charles Meakins, operatic baritone, who for twenty-five years was one of the outstanding vocalists of the London, England, and New York stage—who created the prin- cipal pats in the international suc- cess, "The Merry Widow" and "Rose Marie." There will be one local artist en- gaged in every town for the concert of that date. Mr. Reg. Hopper, Field Secretary of the Ontario Grip - pled Childrens Association will give a twenty minute talk on the work, and results of the wonderful world of the Crippled Children's Lions Fund This lecture will be illustrat- ed with moving pictures of the actual work and success attained, and should be _of vast interest to all in the Country, as the entire County benefits. It is one of the finest, most hu- mane benefits in our power to sup= port. Lets all get together and help! A resume of the programmes and the dates when the concerts will be given in the churches of 'the towns of Goderich Clinton, Seaforth, Exe- ter, W'ingham, and Lucknow, will be, given next week, THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs—Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad- But Always Helpful and Itis Airing FOR SHEILA ANNE The angels guard thy infancy, 0 little helpless, sleeping 'thing, Thy innocence and purity Beneath each spread and shining wing. The fairies run to greet thee, child, And Santa Claus and Peter Pan, Such gentle truths, by love beguiled, As feed the hungry heart of man. But God Himeelf whose tender eyes Look down on life and find it good, Make thee a women sweet and wise To wear His crown of womenhood. --.Anne Southerland **vice." IN THE GARDEN When I lie upon my face, And look down to the ground, I see the funny little things, That creep and crawl around! When I lie upon my side, And look out either way I see the things that stand on legs, And walk or run all day! When I lie upon my back, And look away up high, I see the things with lovely wings, That fly up to the sky! --Irene Brock Mc'Elheran. SCHOOL TERM LONGER—, EXAMS. LATER The slates for the examinations this year are later than usual, most of them being after July 1st. The entrance examinations are. on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 3rd, 4th and 5th. The Lower School exams. commence June 29th and fin- ish on July 5th, while Middle and Upper school tests start June 26t elf— a BLUE DOORWAY A dreamy -eyed, light-footed asked her: "What is a great love like?" And she did not answer, For she wanted the child to go dancing and dreaming A little while longer In her rose-colored dawn. But to herself she whispered: "Love is like a crimson flame in the morning, But at the end of day Love is ten- derness, Forgiving and forgetting, Escape from loneliness— Like a blue doorway that opens To white peace." —Louise Morey Bowman child on MY TASK To love some one more dearly every day, To help a wandering way, To ponder o'er a noble pray And smile when evening falls, This is my task. To follow truth as blind men long for light, To do my best from dawn of day till child to find his thought and eee earth. Now the long day of labor is ended; God gives thein release from their toil, Give peace and the quiet green meadows To the old men who have tilled the soil. ' • --Mary C. Roby tt THOUGHTS Is it when dawn is breaking And the sun rises ,over the sea, And the gray earth stirs in its wak- ing, Is it then you remember me? Or is it at flush of noontide, When the world is at work and play, And the sun rides high in the heavens Is it then that your thoughts will stray? Or when the twilight deepens And pales the golden west, When flowers close their petals, And the songbird seeks its nest? Darkness and night fall softly, Setting the spirit free. It is then, it is then, on the night wind, That your soul fares forth to me. -Flora Kinloch -Cooke in Empire Reveiw (London). MYSELF I have to live with myself and so— I want to be fit for myself to know, I want to be able as days go by Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don't want to stand with the setting sun • And hate myself for the things I've done, But I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respect. And here in this struggle for fame and pelf, I want to be able to like niyself— I don't want to look at myself and know, That I am bluster, bluff and emp- ty show. I never can hide 'myseif from me; I see what others may never See— I know what others may never know. I never can fool myself and so, Whatever happens I want to be Self-respecting and conscience -free. —Ibed night.
