And 'in silken dress; Her hair soft -coiled in snowy torch- iters, She stepped with shining shoes out- -eide the door And called good-bye to us. We watched her homely figure dis- appear Around the bend and waved our hands to her; We laughed to one another and de- elared There never was a mother half so dear. Then in we went, eager to do our share Of any tasks which might be wait- ing there. But though we were's° glad to see her go 'Wile stood about as if we did not know The "house at all—the very walls• Were strange; The fire was ashes in the kitchen range; The clock ticked like an anvil, on the shelf; Even the sun withdrew its friendly self. We fumbled for our handkerchiefs and went To work. But when the quiet night came down We watched the stretching road that leads from town,— Until she came; and were not quite content Nor happy, till the waited moment when She sighed, "How good to be at home again." —Jessie L. Beattie. ice was arrived at but suppose the av- erage. salaries paid to both sexes were considered and 'the conclusion. drawn ° that since they do not draw as large salaries; although in many. cases they 'do more work, their earning power is less. Perhaps it is not so much the earning ars the drawing power the women lack. If the mone}eovalue of the work of the mothers of families were •properly computed we rather fancy that even the princely salaries paid to some men might dwindle somewhat. Women have been a com- paratively short time in the competi- I tive world and, it must be confessed by all men Who have looked squarely at the question, they have had to sub- mit to taking subordinent places as a rule, not always because of fewer cap- abilities or less energy, but because men will not, (and this be still a man's world), work under a woman. Although there are many men who would not hold the Positions they do only that they have some woman be- hind them keeping them up to their best. This sort of thing comes rather natural to women, they having for centuries been aaepstomed to backing up their husbands, fathers or brothers in whatever they have undertaken. It is rather too early in the game to decide as to which has the highest earning power, men or women, and perhaps it may never be decided, The great majority of women will contin- ue to give up the finest moneymak- ing job in the business world which they are able to fill to take over, when the opp,ortunity appeals to them, the care of a house for the man of their choice and the bearing. and rearing of his children, and while that is not amoney-malting job, it is at once the most exacting and, if the continuance of the race is important, the most important. Someone who is fond of figuring ,out things, has proved, at least to his own satisfaction, that the earning power of women is only one third that cf men. A. contemporary writer remarks that many men might like to believe that but that many honest ones will have some difficulty in per- suading themselves of 'its, truth. I do not just know how the conch's - For Baby's Bath More `than that of any -other member of the family, baby's tender, delicate skin needs the greatest care and attention.

But some peope like changes, and here are some recipes for the preparation of this toothsome vegetable. Like other green veget- ables, asparagus is best and keeps most of its valuable salts and vit- antines if itis not cooked in too much water steaming it is always better than boiling. Tt should be cooked un: til very tender blit not a moment -longer, as it very quickly loses its delicate flavor if left standing in hot water. If the stalks are very long and one has no special pot for cooking it, try the double boiler this way: Stand the stalks, tied in a bunch up- right in the lower part of the double boiler. Fill this one-half to two-thirds full of boiling water and invert the inside pot over the top. While the tips are not in the water they will steam nicely and will not fall to pieces.

ALL CANADA WILL HEAR SPEECHES OF POLITI- CAL LEADERS Radio will provide the most radical departure in campaigning in the ap- proaching federal election. Over 2, 000,000 people, stretching from the international beundary line to the frozen northern wastes, will be able, when the campaign is actively on, to tune in nightly on one or another of the prominent figures in either of the old parties, to hear at first hand a much more complete presentation of the issues than it is possible to gather- from necessarily cotdensed reports, There will be national hook-ups for both the premier and Mr. Bennett and there will be provincial hook-ups for them and their chief lieutenants. There will be local broadcasts in every settled section of the Dominion. What the effctet will be upon attendance at public meetings remains to be seen. There is, cf course, iso substitute for personal .contact between political leaders and the public whose fran- chise they seek but the radio is the most personal. of medium's ',apart from actual contact, Direct mail publicity, personal letters directed to the recipient will largely supplant the general broadcasting of printed mat- ter. There is to Ibe a drive to .make the canspaign and the issues a mat- ter of 'direct personal interest to the dlecton, to Make him feel that he is a shareholder, with a material interest in the business of the country and that this election is the "annual meet- ing" at which he chooses the board of directors who will run his national business for the next four or five years. Newspaper and out -door ad vertising campaigns are in course of preparation and the statement is re- ueated at both party headquaters that the best informed electorate in the history of Canada will go to the polls on election day. In connection with radio broadcasting satisfaction is ex- pressed in Ottawa that the proposed nationalization of broadcaisting did not eventuate on the eve of an. elect- ion.

We' are told that we, should eat to live and not live to eat, which is one way of saying that we should not eat to excess. In addition. . to a- voiding excess, it should be taken into consideration that the :body demands a well-balanced diet which will include milkand milk .products, fresh, green vegetables and fruits. Proper food and proper digestion are of an importance that cannot be overemphasized. The stomach does its work day -after day and does not very often fail to do- so. It stands a fair amountoof abuse without protest, and, as long as it does its work with- out attracting attention, we do not give much thought' to this important organ, , ;fain or disoomfort in atty part of the abdomen le apt to be blamed on the stomach, which is then said to be upset.- Very often, the last thing eaten is thought to have disagreed with the stomach. When there is discomfort or pain in the region of the stomach, there is something wrong, but it certainly do- es not mean that the stomach is ne- cessarily responsible, Abnormal and diseased conditions of the stomach do occur, but most of the distress blamed on that organ is not caused primarily 41•1111,1110•M4 by the stomach. Worry, nervous strain and anxiety are realcauses of pain occurring the upper part of the abdomen. me business span who .works under ten- sion, who hurrio through his lunch. and who does not take time to relax, may expect to have an upset stonsach. The onset of many of the acute diseases is accompanied by lois of ap- petite; nausea and semetiines vomit- ing. In such cases, the stomach, as one organ of too body, is affected by a general disease of the whole body. Heart disease may mean that the supply` of 'blood to the stomach is not sufficient to allow' the stomach to do its work properly; As a result, itis difficult for the organ. to digest foods which require a considerable time for the process. Under such circumstances, the use ,of foods which are difficult todigest may be follow- ed by distress, but the heart, and not the stomach, is really to blame. WEhen.the stomach goes on the ram- page, we should not think so much of. the last thing eaten as being the •cause, but rather consider this as a symptom of some condition which re- quires .attention. The etmaeh should not be abused. It is not to be expected that foods and beverages can be used indiscrim- inately without causing trouble in the organ which is overburdened as a result of such carelessness. $480,000,000 IS ANNUAL WASTAGE THROUGH SICKNESS Sudden termination of the present session- of Parliament has forestalled general discussion of a program of active and practical co-operation be- tween the Dominion and the provinces in the interests of public health. Conservation of health through Pre- ventative measures was seheduled to become one of the important social problems to be discussed. The rapid curtailment of time allowed for priv- ate members' resolutions and notice of an election made it necessary to shelve the project until next session. More than $480,000,000 can be saved annually in Canada if Canadians ap- ply knowledge about preventive med- icine and public health now available, according to public health authori- ties. Theseloses„ it i:j :explained„ re- present the productive value of those affected. Included in the amount are seven days per year which constitute what the average Canadian kisses from work on account of sickness. Approaching health in terms of economic value to the individual to' be well, it is noted front a study by a great life insurance company that where the average 'family income is $2,500, it costs the parent $7,288 to rear a child between birth and the age of 18 yetirs, and of this amount, S534 is expended on its health, The editor of the study points out that the child of today must be thought of in econ- omic terms in order that• the Parent may better grasp the sense of value of preventive medicine. The cost of being born, of food, shelter, clothing., health and recrea- tion, these are some ,of the expenses which must be considered as part of the "construction" of the human machine, making it ready for a period at which it is expected to be a produc- er. The total cost to a parent in rear- ing a child to the age of 18 years is as follows, according to the study: Cost of being born, $250; Food, $2,500; clothing and shelter, $3', 400; education, where tuition and books are free, minor items met by individual family purse, $50; health $284; recreation, $130; insurance, $54; and sundries $570, making a tot- al of 87,238.
