Ah, Summer came back one day h
the Fall,
Looking for some of the glory she
lost
When the North 'Wind carne and
robbed her of all
The beautiful things she had loved
the most.
She ran to the wood, expecting to
find
Some part of her draperies hang-
ing ,there.
But the festooned arches her hand
entwined
Were torn and faded beyond re-
pair.
Gone, too, her tapestries, woven in
greens,.

Of fairy folk dancing on mystical
screens
To music Pari drew from his pipes

.And flown were the zephyrs that
once had played
' On the sunny slope of a fair hill-
side; •
When the North Wind passed, they
vanished; afraid
Of the lawless steeds his hurricane
ride.

choirs sang
Their anthem of praise in the ear-

In haste then she ran where the

Alas, for the hope her heart had as-

She found them all lying crushed
at her feet.
Weeping, she flew to the gardens.'of

Where she had finished some

Her she met only destruction again
From the frozen breath that his

Oh, the North. Wind sleeps with an
open eye,
And steeds equipped for a fren-
zied ride;
So he mounted again as she passed
him by
And beat at her skirts with the
thong he plied.
But a sunbeam crept through a bur-
nished cloud
And whisked her away to a land
of flowers,
And told her the Wind, so cruel and
loud,
Would have to go back to his froz-
en towers,
Then Summer smiled and was happy
again
And sang with the birds in their
bouyant mood.
While she wove garlands for hill -

And gave of her splendor where -

were some women in the`immigra-

things would beallowed to -happen as
the proposed deportation to England
of that London woman after a per

the illness which uncapacitated her
recently, the idea of sending her back
to England, where she\had no friende
who would care for he1a seems very
silly. Officials should exercise some
common sense in the performance of
their duties.
That there are in Canada a num-
ber of persons who should be deport-
ed, I have not a doubt. They are for
the most part agitators who stir up
strife and trouble and try to over-
throw orderly government. I have
often wondered why some of these
were not deported, Al poor, sick
woman may need care and attention
but will not make the needless trou-
ble some half-baked communist, dil-
igently working amongst newcomers
in the country, can and does.
Tomorrow is Hallowe'en, the night
when goblins and witches -are a-
broad in the land. Children love
anything which brings change and
novelty int the daily routine, and
while ft may not be convenient to
have a party, below is a recipe for
gingerbread and a nice hot pan of
it on the supper table tomorrow
night, topped with a black eat or a
witch on a broomstick, will delight
the children just as much perhaps as
a party would.
Gingerbread
This mixture may be put togeth-
er earlier in the day, if that will
facilitate serving it fresh and hot
from the oven. It is necessary to
treat it carefully if that is to be
successful, however. Put it into the
baking pan, cover with two .or three
sheets of wax paper largo enough to
be tied down securely over the ,top
of the pan, and put your cutting
board or baking sheet or some solid
covering over that, and place in the
refrigerator to chill thoroughly un-
til time to bake it, Then take off the
covers and proceed as usual.
2 eggs, 2-4 cup brown sugar. 3-4
cup molasses; 2-4 cup melted short-
tening, 2 1-2 cups flour; 1-2 tea-
spoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons
soda, 2 teaspoons ginger, 2 teaspoons
cinnamon, 1-4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1-4
teaspoon ground cloves, 1 cup boiling
water.
(Beat the eggs well, add the sugar
and beat again. A.dd molasses and
melted shortening. Mix the baking
powder, soda and spices well with
the sifted flour and sift them twice.
Add alternately with the boiling
water, to the first mixture. Beat
well and turn into square cake pan;
bake in a moderate oven, 350 de-
grees P. Serve hot.
This is a good gingerbread, by the
way. to serve hot, as a sweet course
at dinner, with a vanilla sauce or
with whipped cream:

Valuable and Interesting Additions to National
Museum.
An exhibit of more than ordinary
interest has been placed very recent-
ly hi the Anthropological hall of the
National Museum of Canada, Ot-
tawa. It is a cast of two bisons
modelled in clay by an artist of a
race of prehistoric men that inhab-
ited western Europe ten thousand
years or more ago. The figures are
each two feet long, are well pro-
portioned and very true to life, and
the modelling was executed with
boldness, freedom and skill almost if
not quite equal to that displayed by
some modern artists, They are male.
and female. To the figure of the fe-
male was imparted a greater finsh
than that of the male, evidence per-
haps 'that this race, like other prim-
itive races, looked upon the female
as the more important. On the
male figure the finger -marks of the
artist are plainly visible,
The original clay 'models were dis.
covered . -in 1912 in a large cave of
several chambers( on the north slope
of the Pyrenees in Seuthern France,
- The entrance to the ehatnber in
which theywere found was blocked
by stalactities that had been form-
ed' by slow natural processes operat-
ing through the long peried of time
that had elapsed since the artist left
hi''s work. The floor of the chamber
bears the impress of naked human
feet, mainly of the heel, and on the
floor also is drawn an outline
sketch of a 'bison.
Sketches . of the, bison and other
animals are found on the walls of
the cave. In one chamber were found
the remains of bears, and the floor
plainly showed their claw marks.
The jaw bones of the bears were
fouhd in 1912 had been broken and
the 'incisors removed, probably for
decorative :purposes. • • • r r
One cannot but wonder what in-
spiration moved the artist as he def-
tly shaped by the light _ of an un-
steady torch •or a smoking grease
lamp these wonderful 4erms,wheth-
er it was an aesthetic urge, a relig-
ious:inpulse, or a tribal need. What-
ever the purpose that lay behind the
work, the beauty and perfection of
the modelling show that among
these primitive folk wonderful pro-
gress had already been made towards
greatness of expression.
The National Museum is indebted
for this exhibit to Dr, II. M. And of

W. M. S. Conference
The W.MS(North Section) Co
-
ference
f Huron presbyterial of the
e
United Church was held in the Salem
United: - Church
!Great interest and enthusiasm was
manifest by the large gathering of
women who filled the church to over-
flowing. At the hour of 9.30 a.m.
Mrs. Gibs the vice-president, was
in the chair. After the ,singing of
the doxology and the invocation by
Mrs. Gibson, the women of Gerrie
Auxiliary took charge of the devot-
ional exercises.
Mrs, `Gowdy in her amiable manner
welcomed the delegates and one of
the ladies, from Bele-tam responded.
The resolution and finance com-
mittees were appointed;
It was very :encouraging to note
the reports from each auxiliary
some fourteen in number, while all
things did not seem to be real bright
and without difficulty, yet the re-
solve was to meet it with a desire
to overcome and "by the Grace of
God We Will Go Over."
The reports from Mission Circles.
and Bands were very -interesting, but
the endeavor is to have more organ-
izations. There should be a Baby
Band in each auxiliary.
*is. Greer„ the Christian Steward-
ship secretary, said that of the four-
teen auxiliaries this section, all re-
ported but one, of these four exceed-
ed their allocation last year; four
reached it and six others did not..
unite reaeh it. In all there were 418
members. Notice should be taken
that smaller auxiliaries are doing
wonderfully well and that the goal -
leg auxiliary has attempted to en-
terrain this convention and they have
only nine members. Mrs. Greer.con-
tinued, a steward is a person entaus-
ted with the management of things
not his own. Superintendent of a-
nother's business. The nobleman in
the parable of the pounds did not
give a pound to each steward, but
put it into his keening with the in-
junction, "Occupy till I come." Then
stewardship involves three things;
First, occupancy or possession with
full control; second, responsibility
we must make the best of what we
have, must increase it for our own
and the master's benefit: Third, ac-
countability, we must remember that
there is a day for reckoning and
this is the thing we are apt to forget,
But remember in the parable, the
master returnedand the servant who
could account for no increase or use
of his talent was cast into outer
darkness. God's ownership must be
acknowleged.
(Mrs. Davidson iu reporting on 0.
G.I.T. work said there were 140 mem-
bers with an average attendance of
106; but the great difficulty was the
lack of leaders. Airs. A. W, Barker
gave a very helpful address on young
woman's work. Mrs. Solite spoke
on Mission Circle and Band Work.
She emphasized the point that we
ever keep in mind the primary pur-
pose to de4elop in these little ones
the missionary spirit.
The afternoon session was opened
with the devotional exercises, led' by
the W!inghatn ladies. At this time the
audience was entertained and impres-
sed by the pageant, "Canada Receives
Visitors," _ givers by the girls of the
Wroxeter Mission Band. These young
girls made their own costumes. One
larger girl draped' sit white and car-
rying a Union Jack stepped on the
platform and announced she Was
ready to receive visitors. Presently
a rap was heard and in stepped' a
British girl representing 6,112—who
have come to Canada. She was fol-
lowed by a Russian representing -42,-

209;606; making a total of over 1,-
000,000
,000,000 people who have entered
Canada from other lands. Another
number which is worthy - of special
mention was the pantomime given by
the Salem Mission Band. It was
beautifully rendered and much praise
is due their splendid and, energetic
president: Through the "exchange"
some very splendid ideas were ex-
pressed. Mrs. Wilson our guest speak-
er, who.' is the first •Angolian 'mis-
sionary to come from the Angola
mission, gave us .a'new picture of the
work in that country. Africa is wak-
ing up and; is pleading for the Water
and Bread of life, People are eager
for the Light and when they are born
again the native becomes a mission-
ary and is anxious to go and tell the
"Word" to others..
She spoke of "forced- labor" and
told how a man who was a Christian
of Angola who was forced to go; to
an island far from home and while
there he made several copies of his
Christian hymn book for other people
whom he had led to accept Jesus.
The duet given by the Fordwich
auxiliary and the solo rendered so
beautifully by a lady from Ethel
Auxiliary made everyone feel a
greater desire to work and labor for
the Master.
I.
Mrs, Lane spoke of the refreshing
and encouraging reports. She want-
ed us to take with us themessage
brought by Afks. Wilson, that every
member be a missionary and let us
ever be faithful in prayer.
After the singing of a hymn, a
most profitable and inspiring con-
ference was brought to a close with
prayer by Mrs. Longley. ---(Report of

DIABETES
Diabetes is one ,oe the :metabolic
diseases. Metabolism' i$ tine porcess
by which our hgdjbt matte use of the
food, we eat and 'the air we (breathe,
thus providing' the energy required
and the material's needed for growth
and repair. "
The sugars and starches which we
eat are converted into glucose, which
is used by the body bo provide energy
If more glucose is available than is
required,the surplus is stored up in
the liver as glycogen. This store of
glyeogen is called upon when the
body cells demand energy food. �.
Diabetes upsets this normal fune-
tioning. The cells of the body' are
unable to use glucose, and the liver is
consequently unable to store up gly-
cogen. There is an excess of glucose
in the- blood which is Passed off itt
the urine, and so, in diabetes, these
is sugar present in the urine.
Diabetesresults; from injury to a
part of the pancreas which normally
secretes a substance called insulin
the substance that enables the body -
cells to use. glucose. The cause of the
injury to the pancreas is not known,
so we do know what is responsible
for diabetes. We do know that di-
abetes occurs most frequently among
those whose weight is above normal.
Overweight usually alrises dirom a
diet that contains an excess of sugars
and starches, The- enormous increase
in the consumption of sugar during
the past fifty years may be an im-
portant factor in the. increase of di-
abetes, The disease 'is most preval-
ent in bhose countries which show the
highest per capita consumption of
sugar.
In 1920, Dr. Frederick G. Batting
discovered that itwaspossible to se-
cure insulin from the paneeras of
young animals and to supply the sub-
stance to human beings suffering
from diabetes, thus furnishing them
with the insulin which their own
damaged pancreas cannot supply.
Insulin is not, nor was it ever
claimed to be a cure for diabetes.
It is a remedy which, when properly
used, makes it possible to control
diabetes in a way which was never
possible before. The use of insulin
does; not mean that, in the treatment,
diet is any less important. Before the
discovery of insulin, the only treat-
ment was diet, Today, by means of
a carefully regulated diet and the use
of insulin, when necessary, the dia-
bestic can lead a comparatively nor-
mal life. I
The' -cause will not be cured. Care
can never be relaxed. Supervision
by a physician to keep the diet and
insulin adjusted to the needs of the
case is absolutely necessary. A "hit
or miss" type of treatment leads to
disaster. Continous and careful sup-
ervision of treatment by means of
diet and insulin robs diabetes of its
terrors.

Employment Service Couneil'.s
plans to solve unemployment diffi-
culties by stimulating public works
construction may haing temporary
relief, but pennanent relief' can come
only through concerted action of or-
ganized industry to regularize pro-
duction.
This is the opinion of Stanley I.
Shafer, Superintendent of. the Ham-
ilton, Ontario, plant of The Procter
and !Gamble Company. He is admin-
istrator of the Proctor and Gamble
plan of guaranteed employment
which has kept its gree stendily at
work despite so-called economic de-
pression:'
The soap company has scheduled
its production to maintain a steady
year-round force of workers in its
Canadian and American plants. This
gives • employes a guarantee of at
least forty-eight full pay weeks a
year• in Hamilton and the other
plant's, without fear of lay-off due to
depression. '
The plan has had several years
•
testing since Colonel William Cooper
Procter, president of the company,
announced in Augest, 1323, that for^
thefii s
t time inindustrial l history a;
large corporation would assure its
thousands of employes steady work.`
regardless of seasonal fluctuations
which in so many instances cause'
periodical shut -downs.
The basis of the plan is simple:•
probably production for the coming^
year is estimated on the basis of the
past year's demands together with a' '
study of factors 'which are likely to
affect consumption. Production is
then regulated to meet the estimated
consumption. Errors of estimate.
have so far, with the ProctorandGamble Company, been negligible.
Variations between demand and sup-
ply are compensated for by adequate'
warehousing and controlled deliver-
ies to dealers.
'Colonel Procter, originator of the
plan, has said: "Greater efficiency,
elimination of waste, lower. unit
costs, and increased effectiveness_
loyalty of workershave resulted.
While the advantage cannot be es-
titrated in dollars and cents, a final's -
teal gain has been effected, I think
there is nothing peculiar in th e soap •
business that makes such a plan
more 'adaptable to it than many more
industries. I believe that in the very'
great majority of industries the av-
erage annual consumption is approx-
imately the same, without much fluc-
tuation from year to year, and that
the problem of prvv(iding for dlis-
tribution and warehousing is not a
difficult one to work out if study is
centered upon the special industry."

ed in the preceding five is emphasis-
ed. That idea, simply, is this:
You've got to put forth every ef-
fort to keep Clinton's folic coating to
your stores and buying in your stor-
es.
Advertising in your local home
newspaper can help accomplish that
ahn. Not only your own advertising,
but the advertising of the manufac-
turers.whose goods you stock as well.
You oannot gab the advertising sup-
port of these manufacturers merely
by wishing for it, You've got to
make the manufacturers realize how
necessary it is to you, if you are
to sell their goods successfully.
This is an opportunity, you mer-
chants of. Clinton, that you should
make the most of, one that may mean
all the difference between slow, in-
frequent sales and quick, profitable
turnover.
And you can make the manufactur-
ers realize it by selling their• salesmen
who call on yott on Clinton by inter-
esting them in Clinton as an outlet
for your merchandise by interesting •
them in your local, home newspaper
as the means to more sales of your
