Publie health officials,
With all their rules and laws;
• Cannot by any way or means,
Control a person's flaws.
One eats too much or little,
And robs himself of sleep,
Ignores the moderation call;
And will not use his feet.
No wonder, then, that thousands
Die long before their time; •
' Offenders of Old Nature's laws
And thus expiate their crime.
And so it sadly comes to pass,
In spite of all prevention;
That foolish people will persist,
In deadly circumvention.
Nit how much better it would be,
Instead of fighting life;
If persons.would co-operate
And lh..ing victory to the strife.
Public health has done its part,
And sincerely wants to help;
But it can do little for the chap
Who will not help himself.

Rolls and Bread
Now that cooler weather is here
many housewives RED thinking of
maldng bread and rolls for the him,
ily. Here are some recipes which
may be of use to inexperienced
housewives:
Parker House Rolls
1 cake yeast, 1 pt .milk, scalded
and coolad, 2 tbsps. honey or, sugar,
4 tbsp. melted butter, 3 pts. sifted
flour, 1 tsp. salt,
Dissolve yeast and honey in luke-
warm milk. Add butter and half the
with preserving the health of her
family than any other agency.
First of allt the mother can do
mach towards giving her children a
good start by looking after her own
health before the birth of her bab,
ies and thereby producing children
with healthy bodies; she can do more
to keep them in a healthy condition
diming infancy and childhood by see-
ing that they are given wholesome,
adequate nourishment, that they have
proper rest, proper clothing and that
they form proper health habits. The
children are almost entirely under
her personal care during their child-
hood years and if all these thing:
are attended to from infancy the child
will grow up a healthy young animal.
Of course the true mother not on-
ly looks after the care of her child's
body, she also attends to the culti-
vation of his mind and soul, but we
are talking just now of physical
health.
One of the most essential things
for the proper developement of the
physical frame is adequate food. We
are not going to bother about vita -
mines, calories, etc., only to say that
the best way to ensure that a family
do is getting the variety of foods neces-
sary to maintain health is -to give
them a varied diet, including meats,
cerials, vegetables, green ones as
often' as possible, fruits, milk, eggs.
Milk is declared by all authorities tobc
one of the very best foods possible
for growing children and they should
We encouraged to drink it, authorities
say that as much as a quart a day is
none too much. Some mothers find
it easy to get their children to drink
milk, others find it very difficult.
But milk need not be drunk from a
glass all the tine. It is very easy
to combine milk with other things
and get the same benefit. Milk soups,
puddings, etc., serve to get the milk
inside the child in more pleasing
form, perhaps, and he is nourished
just the same. One thing which has
been noted over and over again' is
that if a child takes a notion that he
doesn't like a certain food and the
fact is remarked upon every time it
is offered and refused, he soon be4
gins to take Some pride in this pe,
euliarity of his and continues. When,
if the fact is overlooked, no comment
made, or if it was deplored as being
a pity that he is missing what oth-
ers enjoy, he would soon outgrow the
notion. Wholesome food is so es-
sential to health and to be able to
eat a variety is so certain a way of
obtaining the varied needs of the
body that no method should be over-
looked which will teach the young
child to like all sorts of foods. Most
children, too, need to be taught to
eat vegetables.

In the matter of clothing the moth-

her will, it is when the children grow
older that it becomes difficult to see
that they are always suitably cloth-
ed. The old-time mother perhaps in-
sisted upon the wearing of too much
clothing but the average young girl,
if allowed her own sweet will, is of-
ten too lightly clad either for coni
fort or health. Light weight cloth-
ing, sufficient to keep the body pro-
tected against our severe northwest
winter winds, would stem to be the
sensible sort for the Canadian cli-
mate. One often wonders how girls
can endure the cold winds in the
scant clothing they wear even in the
coldest weather.
Another difficult thing for moth-
ers to do nowadays is to have her

on more than one occasion, referred work, recreations and the calls of
to the value of fresh fruits in the
various school, church and fraternal
organizations, young High school
students, and indeed, Public school
scholars, also, are often up hours af-
ter they should be asleep. They do
not seem to mind it now but suf.!
ficient rest is so needful to the de-
velopment of the body and the in-
surance of future health, that they
will probably pay up for it in a weak-
ened body in later years. An occa,
sional late night does not matter se
much but those having the care of
children should insist upon stated
hours of sleep and upon their being
observed. Some of the organizations,
such as the C. G. I. T., recognizing
this, have incorporated in their code
a resolution about the taking of
proper hours of sleep.

feeling of dryness, and we say that
we are thirsty.
For a time, this sensation may
be overcome by chewing anything
'which -causes an increase in the flow 1
of saliva. This does not, of course,
relieve thirst, but it does, for a
time, overcome the sensation of dry-
ness of the throat arising from
thirst. The deinand for fluiti should

because at this time, the body really
needs more fluid in order to perform

The best and most simple -way to
quench thirst and to provide the
body with the fluids It requires is
• by drinking water. It is unwise to
drink quickly large amounts of cold
'water. Cold water should be sip-

body is secured from our foods which
contain a large percentage of water.

It is generally agreed that most
people do not use enough water, and
that many would enjoy better health
if they did use MEG water. No one
can lay clown rules for the quantity
of water which each individual should
drink, because weather and the de,
gree of physical activity play a
large part in this. We suggest a
glass or two of water upon rising and
between meals, as the average re-
quirements, this to be supplemented
in warm weather and following

PAIN—A FRIEND
Pain knocked at the door of my
heart, one day,
And I cried as I let him in—
"I fear you wtill drive all my sunshine
away
And leave only gloom within!"
But the years passed by and he prov-
ed a friend
That scourged with a tender love,
Per he taught me that shadow and
sunshine must blend,
And one eould keep smiling above
All the aches and loss we meet in
Life's way.
Nor to grieve at the price they
cost;
So the best friend of all I can truly
say
Was the Pain that I nearly lost.

A VAGABOND SONG
There is something in the autumn
that is native to my lboocl—i
Touch of manner, hint of mood;
And my heart is like a rhyme,
With the yellow and the purple and
the crimson keeping time.
The scarlet of the maples can shake
me Rice a cry
Of bugles going by,
And my lonely spirit thrills
To see the frosty asters like a smoke
upon the hills.
There is something In October sets,

We must rise and follow hers
When from every hill of flame
She calls and calls each vagabond by
name.

WHO HAVE ... BEEN BLENDED
WITH COMMON EARTH
(Richard Steele.)
When patient years have blent me
with the ground,
And I am kin with the dear, common
sound
Of wind among the grasses, and of
rain
That, gently falling, wakens once
again.
Death into Life—then shall there
from me spring
A fragile bud that in its flowering
Gives back to men forgotten ecstasy
As they stoop to a wood anemone.

October reddens on the hills today. ,
Let them shout heaven -high the am-
ple gold
Their smoke -wreathed village town-

I sing October in the streets of stone
0 chary loveliness, cut clean to bone!
For arid miles a single perfect tree
Stands redly drunk with its own di-
ety.
In frosty parks the frugal autumn
weaves
A little transiency of golden leaves.
Over the stalls along the market
place,
Grown strangely small, laughs out
October's face.
Her smiles are few and shaped to
seckel pears,
Crabapples and the purple vineyard
wares.
Doubters of beauty, do you under-

TOUR FRIENDLLY SMILE
I love to see a friendly face
That with good nature glows—
It means that heart and mind and
soul
With sweetness overflows;
And when I look at your dear face •
And see that beaming smile, •
It cheers me up and does me good,
And makes life seem worth whilel
You aro indeed a gift from heaven,
Just like the sun on high,
Which pours down light and radiance
Right from the big blue sky!
And like the moon and stars at night
You light the dullest place—,
You turn the darkness into day
With your sweet smiling face!
Oh, I would walk a good long way
Just to see that happy smile,
Indeed I would; And glad I'd be
To walk a good long mile?
So now "good-bye," dear friendly
face -

For just to see that smile of yours
Sure gives my eyes a treat!
