QFC Do we ever fail to bemoan the 'passing o£ summer, to exclaim at the shortening of the days, the early clos- ing in of September evenings? It comes each year the same, this shor- tening of the hours of daylight, but, somehow, we never seem to be pre- pared for it. Like children, when bedtime comes, who try every scheme to prolong the period of staying up, so we look, but in vain, for some way of ,prolonging the lovely, long . summer days. But really, if we could but recon- cile ourselves to it, there is some- • thing very soothing and restful a- bout the soft, September dusk,. It is lovely to "walk out" into it, to visit familiar spots in the garden; to choose a flower, especially when it is moonlight, as it was last week, and see what sort of a choice you've made; to plan what you will do for your garden tomorrow, ;orlater in the fall or next spring. It is pleasant, also to look forward to the coming winter, when the even- ings will be even longer and you can plan what work you, will take up and how you will improve the hours. You may not do half as much as you plan, but anyhow, you have the fun of planning. And doesn't it look a long spell until next spring? But the months soon pass and - it is as- tonishing how many weeks can slip by without a thought of the plans we have made earlier in the season. I have long since ceased to dread the "long winter." It is never long e- nough for nle to accomplish what I'd like to do. —REBEKAH, 1oi lib Scram OF TIM Gattabian lifebirat, tonrit#ion and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. Edited by GRANT PLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary "GOING—GOING--1" "Top off, half gone, all gone" of the fairy-tale about the cat and the bowl of cream might be used to 'describe what is oecurring with re- gard to diphtheria, at least in most eniightened conununities. A few years ago, it was proclaim- ed that diphtheria could be prevent- ed; today we can say that diphtheria is being prevented and that, in a mu fiber of places, it has actually been banished. This is one of the most remark- • able achievements of our age. For centuries, diphtheria was a menace to child life, taking a heavy toll year after year. Then came diph- theiria antitoxin, one of the great discoveries of the latter part of the past century. Antitoxin saves life; when it is given at the onset of the disease, its use has preserved many thousands of lives, In spite of the benefits of antitox- in, deaths continued to occur be- cause, for one reason or another, there was delay in its use. Fur- thermore, antitoxin could not con- trol the spread of diphtheria. Then came the great discovery that, through- the use of a new Sub- stance, diphtheria toxoid, diphtheria could actually be prevented. This • meant that children could actually be protected and that parents need no longer fear that their little ones would contract diphtheria. This prevention is not a theory. It is a well -tried, practical method. Thousands of Canadian children have been immunized against diphtheria. They have received the necessary injections of toxoid and as a result, their bodies are capable of overeom, ing any diphtheria germs with which they may come in contact. ' For parents, the important points to know are first, that it is only the children who have been immun- ized who are protected. Unless your child is one of these then your child is still being exposed to all the dan- gers of diphtheria. The second point is that diphtheria occurs most. commonly and is most fatal during the earliest years of life. This means that children should be immunized before they are one year old, as otherwise they may contract .the disease. To delay means taking a chance for which there is no justification. To act promptly gives your child the pro- tection to which he has a right, and ensures that he will pass through his early childhood to harmed by diphtheria. Do not delay; lose no time; act now!

Some Seasonable Recipes ' Apples are now plentiful and will remain so, Here are a few ways of cooking them which may find favor, One reason, perhaps, why so many pe.cple do not eat more apples is be cause they are not served in varied forms. Give the family a pleasant surprise by serving some of these concoctions: Baked Apples ' Wash, core and place apples in a ' baking dish in a moderate oven. ' When apples begin to soften, fill core with honey and sprinkle with ' lemon juice. Finish baking. Apple Ginger Wipe, pare, core, quarter and 'finely chop sour apples. There should be 10 cups. Put in a preserving ket elle and gradually bring to 'the' boil- ing point. Acid 2 cups of honey anal thin shavings of rind of 2 lemons and a 2 inch,lricee of ginder root. Simmer, stirring frequently until the apples are transparent (2 1-2--3 has). "Great care must be taken dur- ing cooking otherwise, mixture will burn very easily. Turn into sterile jelly tumblers. Apple Marmalade Use tart apples. Wipe, peel, core and cut in small pieces. Cook until smooth, Add one pound honey to two pounds fruit and simmer until mixture has the consistency of cake batter. -Pat into. glasses without sealing, ;in a few weeks it may be cut out. Honey.

THE HONEY PRODUCER'S DUTY TO THE CONSUMER (Experimental Farms Note) In the ease of a food product the producer owes to the consumer ex- treme care in preparation of that product .for the market to see that it is wholesome, clean, attractively packed and equal to the standards nnder which it is advertised and lab- elled. The honey producer had things very much his own way until a few years- age because demand exceeded supply and honey, sol<l quite readily without too much fussing around with it. To -day, however, 'condi- tions are somewhat different. More honey is being produced, competition has become keener and the consum- ing public has become more climbs -Is leafing in its choice. The consumer has been educated to buy goods graded to ,definite and uniform stan- dards and 'is demanding similar stan- dards for 'honey and these demands cannot be ignored. The consumer is willing to pay for quality produce and as he has the final say as to what he shall buy; his wants rust ho considered. • is Sill .:i:SS Household ,Economics economy in the distribution of Gov- ernment publications, it has become necessary to make a charge to all individuals receiving the Canada Year Book, though free copies will con- tinue to be supplied to Government Departments, public libraries and newspapers. Individuals ' requiring the Year Book may obtain it from the King's Printer, Ottawa, as long as his supply lasts, at the price of 81.50, which covers merely the cost of paper, printing and binding'. By a special concession, however, univer- sity students needing the volume in their work, teachers and ministers of religion, may purchase the volume from the King's Printer at the momi, nal price of 00c. SELF-RELIANCE It happened at a boarding house on a downtown street of a Georgia city. The landlady and boarders were sitting on the front porch en- joying the cool of a late summer af- ternoon. A pretty, though rather thin, black and white eat came up on the Lawn, stopped in front of the elee, tris sign, "Roams and Board," and looked up as if he were reading it. He then walked up the steps, over to the landlady, looked up into her face and said, "meow." "Yes," said the landlady, "I take boarders. WiII you have a room and meals?" "Meow," answered kitty, and walk- ed through the door straight to the diningroonl, There was some steak left on the table, and you may be sure the lady gave it to him.—Dumb Animals. WESTERN PAIR OP INTEREST TO WOMEN Although the Western Fair at London is rated as one of the most important agricultural exhibitions in the Dominion, it is famous, too, for its wonderful displays of Women's Work, and no other exhibition has mare features that appeal to the av- erage homemaker. Western Ontario women are clever with their needle, and that they have lost none of their art through the influx of modern in- ventions, will be evident when visitors to the Western Fair see their work on display. A11 of the departments that aro especially in- teresting to worsen are just as well. filled this year as other years. Pro- bably it is because women have been spending more time in their homes in recent months and have turned to the quieter pursuits that character- ized their grandmother's day that these departments at the various fairs are so well filled. The pure food show, and the many industrial exhibits that show ad- vances in home -labour saving devices make the Western Fair of special in- terest to women, and it is little won- der that so many of the fair sex are making a visit to London this week. CHURCHGOING WAS ONCE COMPULSORY . Irl gay and balmy Bermuda life was a sober business, indeed, tithing the reign of Cromwell. Stage plays, play, ing with dice, swearing and even the singing of merry songs were all pro- hibited. Swearing cost one shilling per oath, however mild. In those days Bermuda ohurehwar- dens, "upright, honest and sober in their carriage, were instructed to look into the lives and conversations of the people and to search the worst and most suspected places with a view to forcing people to attend di. vino service." Today Bermuda is a land of liberty where thousands of tourists make merry or live quietly, according to their own inclinations, BRITISH.

STRAY KITTEN An unimportant Fragile kitten, Hiding in refuge Under a sack, Timidly steals To inspect my finger, Purrs with contentment And rolls on its back.

AT HARVESTING Today I lingered near a field of wheat Tossing its tawny plumes against e sky 0•f peaceful blue . How far removed it seemed from bread to eat And hungry lands where bread is but a cry To strike fear through. Thera with the sun lying mellow warm Upon gold -tippled waves that fra- grant air So gently spread, I breathed a simple prayer, "Goch keep from harm All harvest fields, that no child any- where Need lack for bread" —+Lekie Dean Robertson, in Good Housekeeping.

Bid him forward, breast and back as either should be, "Strive and thrive!" •Cry "speed,— fight on, fare ever There as here!" —Robert Browning. eta GOOD LUCK, FISHERMAN Good luck, fisherman, to you, In your boat on the limpid blue, Where you sit, and smoke, and dream Or peer down into the stream, When you catch a finny gleam..

' c lC3—J I SAW A RAINBOW I saw a rainbow in the dancing spray. The sun shone through and then the lovely are Rose ever shrubs, and glorified the trees That grew as thick and shady as a park. I watched the colors form in brilliant dyes; The orange shone first, then yel- low, green and blue, • , With red near orange; as sunlight filtered through Deep violet, the sunset's loveliest hue. Amazed I stood before that vision rare Of old Creation—new revealed to rte. Perhaps I ne'er again shall Make with spray A rainbow, bright, yet memory shall see: A sunlit day: a sky all drenched in blue; A shady lawn, where light breeze driftingly, Sent fine white spray across the thirsty grass; —God's ancient Promise, shinning there for me. — Hthel May Hall.

Come, let us heap them in a funeral pyre, Pretend in our weary hearts that it is fall, By this red' glowing leaf -enkindled fire That clouds the trees in such a frag- rant pail.

Men grudged the tree its happy eves, Its happy dawns of eager sound; So all that crown and tower of leaves They levelled with the ground. They made an upright of the stem, A cross -piece of a bough they made: No shadow of their deed on them The fallen branches laid, But blithely, since the year was young, When they a fitting hill did find, There on the happy tree they hung The Saviour of mankind. —Gerald Gould.

HUSBAND hSHOOTS ESTRANGER( 'WIPE ON HER REFUSAL TO DANCE WITH IIIM AT LAKE HURON SUMMER RESORT LATER KILLS HIMSELF • Murder and suicide left pretty lite tie Shirley McGillivray, of Tiverton„ a little tot of three years, with,. out parents Saturday night. Her father killed the child's mother with a single revolver shot, then took his own life with the same weapon. Meeting her husband for the first time in several months in the dancing pavilion at Inverhuron Beach, near Tiverton, Mrs. ivlaGillivray, 24, re- fused his invitation to danec. She was shot an hour later on the veranda of her mother's summer home only 100 yards away from the dance hall, and died before she could be taken to e doctor. McGillivray, a war veteran, 42 years old, police said, became infur- iated •at his estranged wife's refusal to dance with him. They said he walked from -the pavilion to his mother -.in-law's hone, waited for Mrs. McGillivray's return on the veranda and killed her after a brief quarrel. The couple, married five years ago, had not lived together for several months. Mrs. McGillivray went to the dance with a friend, Mrs, Sara Shop - heed, of Toronto. Friends said she danced with a slumber of nen during the evening, while McGillivray danced two or three tines before asking his wife to dance. He left the pavilion immediately on her refusal and after an all-night search his body wee ;found in the sand, with the revolves'. clutched in his hand,
