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.

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. f 1 Household Economics flour:, Beat until perfectly smooth, cover and let rise in a warm •place until double in bulk (about 1 hour', Add sufficient flour .to make a dough that can tOs handled, add salt Knead well.

In the matter of clothing the moth- er of the little child can usually work 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 young family, both boys and girls added material is something of val- ue, such as fresh fruit juice. We have, talce rest enough. With their school 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. Basic Muffin Batter 1 egg, 2 tbsp. butter, 2 tbsp, honey or sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1 cup milk, 2 cups flour, 4 tsps. baking powder. Mix and sift flout', baking powder and salt.

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 he heeded when it makes itself felt, because at this time, the body really needs more fluid in order to perform • its functions properly. 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- ped; this allows for its pleasant ,cool- . ness to be felt in the throat and a - body is secured from our foods which contain a large percentage of water. Milk is almost ninety per cent. wat- er and so literally it provides both 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 physical activities.

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.

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, the gypsy. blood astir; We must rise and follow hers When from every hill of flame She calls and calls each vagabond by name. —Bliss Carman.

To rejuvenate last year's fur coats or collars, brush them well to re- move the dust and beat them gently with a round, smooth, pliable stick to lift the fur and make it fluffy. Lemon and salt will remove rust and also ink stains. Care must be used if the fabric is colored, but Inc white, either silk or cotton, cover with salt, wet With lemon juice and leave in the suit f or a time. Then wash in warm soap suds. Of course everyone, old or young, should sleep with windows open. Sometimes householderti complain that they "cannot beat all out doors" so insist upon closed windows during cold weather. But if you will take the trouble to investigate you will probably find that the folk who in- sist upon plenty of fresh air in the house do not spend any more on heating than those who keep their win- dows hermetically sealed throughout the winter, and.they also miss much discomfort of olds and other Miles- ses.

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. —Ella H.

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- stand The autumn of the world is in your hand?

Though dying, she must summon up her .will, And own nor snow, nor frost, nor wind her master; For though the leaf decay, the sap stand still Her progress travels deeper, if not faster, storm and royal Strength of the earth whose brown expanse Stretches with vast magnificence; The quiet scent of parted snow Where secret blossoms hide below; The harvest fragrance ,when the fields Are bared of all the good earth yields,. Deep is the beauty I have learned From the scent of rain and soil new - turned. —Margaret Macprang Mackay In Christian Science Monitor. csIt3e5.o 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 - 1 hope soon again we'll meet, For just to see that smile of yours Sure gives my eyes a treat! —Cora Baker Hall, Sir Edward was at the time presi- dent of the West Indies .Conference in London, England. 31e suggested that the Conference be styled as a- bove.
