'A Column Prepared Especially for Women—
But Not Forbidden to Men
There is a good deal in the follow-
ing, regarding the inequalities under
which women must ever struggle.
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.

"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 -

crumbs, bake until, crumbs are brown
and ; serve- hot.

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.

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

they should come second in import-
ance to the foods, the water and the
exercise that lay the foundation for

whole body is clean inside and out,

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

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,

Look down on life and find it good,
Make thee a women sweet and wise
To wear His crown of womenhood.

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!

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."

To love some one more dearly every

To help a wandering

To ponder o'er a noble

This is my task.

To do my best from dawn of day till

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.

THE SAMPLER
I found it in an ancient trunk,
This sampler, worked by hands un.+
known,
Its rainbow colours scarcely dimmed
Though nigh a hundred years have
flown
Since some industrious needle made
The square -blocked rows, so prim
and straight,
And finished all by signing it
"Priscilla Nancy Dean aged
eight!"
Dear little maid of long ago,
I trace your cross-stitched A -B -Cs,
Your crooked house, your numbers
nine,
Your pious text, your funny trees;
I see your sunny childish head
Bent seriously above the frame
The day your fingers made complete
The last blue letters of your name
"Aged eight!" you stitched; then
gayly tan
To join, at last, in youthful play
While someone took your finished
task
And, smiling, folded it away.
Priscilla Nancy Dean—aged eight!
I wish, when you were very old,
You'd worked another sampler bright
With all your history's grey and
gold,
I think that if you had 'twould tell
What Life, in its mysterious ways,
Stitched with the thread. Experience
Upon the fabric of your days,
With here a knot of doubt, or fear,
And here a saddening of hues,
Where Sorrow stitched with Time
awhile
To dim Romance's golds and blues;
How you had learned Life's A -B -Cs,
And disentwined the strands of
fate,
'Till Death took up the needle slim
To stitch "Priscilla—eighty-eight,"
Then, from its earthly tasks releas-
ed,
Your soul ran forth, forever free;
The silken story of your days
Was folded in eternity.
