A Column 'Prepared Especially for Women -
But Not Forbidden to Men
SONG FOR APRIL
When April, hand in hand with
Sping,
Sets every robin carolling,
And faint and very far and clear the
god Pan calls,•
There's something in the heart
of pie
That mocks at adult dignity,
Makes ane long to run. and play with
bounce -y rubber -ballet
Lovely mottled marbles,,
Skipping-ropes thin,
.Silver -wheeled roller-skates,
'lops that spin,
I want to play hopscotch,
1 want to soar high
In a creaking old siving
That meets the sky;
I want to listen,
As I used 'to do,
To the strange earth sounds
Of seed coming through;
I want to hunt fairies,
With gossamer wings,
Who'll grant three wishes
For magical things; ,
I want to watch small
Green parasols unfurl,
When sugar -sticky chestnuts
Their buds uncurl;
And I want to imagine
I'in alive again
In the Utpside-Down-Land
Of puddles after rain.
If April, as she's ever clone,
Keeps teardrops rainbowed by
the sun.
Incarnates all t]ie beauty in the Age
of Gold,
Then have I found in very truth
The foundation of eternal youth;
I'll count my age by Aprils that defy
' ire to grow old(
Mally Bevan.
I am not one of those who think
that men are always wiser than wo-
men or that women are always wiser
than men. Fact is, I believe if
there was some way of arriving et
• an accurate ]cnowledge of such things
it might be found that they were a-
bout ectaal in wisdom. Sometimes
men take the cake, sometimes wo-
men. But one thing in which men
nsually show more wisdom than wo-
men is in relaxing, taking a holiday
or a rest from routine work,
Row often one hears a woman say,
when it is suggested that she is
working too hard aid should take a
holiday, "Oh, I haven't time. I must
do such and so and when that is done
something else. My time is all taken
up. I cannot take a holiday." And,
as you run your eye over the tasks
she has set for herself, why, it looks
as if she is right. But the .fact re-
mains that she ought not to work so
constantly and at such speed, the
human body is net built for such
strenuous toil. A -rearrangement of
the work to bo done, with, perhaps,
the cutting out of some of theleast
important tasks, might give the de-
sired leisure,
The work of a housewife is mon-
otonous at hest; it is a repetition of
the same routine day after day, and
anless some break is made one is
likely to grow dull- and monotonous
in the performance of it. Change of
the system .of work, or even a change
in the method of doing some piece of
work will help to -break the deadly
monotony.
A roan may work just as constant-
ly, although as a matter of absolute
fact few of them do work as con-
stantly inc a great many housewives.
But even if he does he gets some var-
iety by meeting .other men and ex-
changing ideas, (or it may be, just
gossip,) He may be obliged to go to
mai'ket •or to see someone about a
sale 'of goods, stock, etc., and this
constitutes a change. While his wife
puts in the whole livelong day, per-
haps, days on end, getting up and
performing the same tasks over and
over again, without the benefit of
any change, unless Johnny cuts his
finger of Susie is unfortunate e-
,nough to destroy her. best dress by
ming too hot an iron in pressing it.
Women's chubs, of which there are
getting to be several nowadays, are
in my opinion, a great boon to wo-
Men, especially* these in country dis-
tricts. They provide an outlet for
the social instinct in every woman
and assist in keening her fresh and
Sit mentally, which reacts benefi-
cially physicially.
Wouldn't is be a good thing if we
women would all resolve this spring
that we will get out as much as we
possibly can this summer, that we
shall let the good old sun and the air
of heaven din its will with us, as we
remcunce for some stated seasons care
and ana:iety, let us take a leaf nut
of the men's hnok and learn to relax
and take a holiday, We do not need
to go to a summer resort or to on
expensive fresh air ramp to de this.
The same sun 'and air are abort onr
own homes, let tis make use of them
to keep our bodies healthy and our
minds clear and choerful.

Reactionary Britain
In the minds of many people dom-
iciled in the Overseas Dominions and
neighbouring nations Great Bi it tin
is lodkecl upon as the strop hold of
conservatism, and seldom is the tin-
ted Kingdom given credit for any-
thing of a progressive or of a radi-
cal nature. However, people from all
parts of the world are constantly
making piigrm'iages to England to
study, to learn, -and to take home Lo
their -native lands lessons and exam-
ples that can be adapted to a wide
range of oenditions.
In this reactionary little Island
called Britain there is a consumers'
cc -operative organization which buys
manufactures and sells to a mem-
bership of over 13,000,000 people, The
0o -operative Wholesale Societies op-
erate mare than 100 mills and factor-
ies, in fact they are sthe largest mil-
ling interests (wheat and flour) in
Great Britain, They have a trade
turnover of $1,731,000,000 per year,
and this co-operative movement,
touching 30 different countries, in-
volves capital amounting to $4,200,-

conies the announcement of . pending
legislation that is of striking inter-
est in Canada and the sister Over-
seas Dominions, The Minister, of
Agriculture is piloting legislation
through the House that will force
producers remaining outside of co-
operative organziations to conform
with definite rules and regulations in
marketing. To the question, "Should
the minority prodaeer be allowed to
undersell the market, bringing a-
bout general disorder and chaos in
the marketing of any one commodity
or group of con'Smodities," this pro-
posed legislation expresses a definite
N'o, ,The British Minister of Agri-
culture thinks that the minority pro-
ducer should be under control; in
other words, that he should not be a
law unto himself.
The new marketing bill, which ap-
plies to milk potatoes, loops, wool,
cereals, cheese, cattle, pigs, sheen.
Poultry, eggs and fruit, provide for
the marketing of the above named
products under the medium of mar-
keting boards. Undoubtedly. before
iaropnsing such legislation. the Brit-
ish Mfinistee must have thoroughly
canvassed the field of similar• legis-
lation in other countries and decid-
ed that compulsory control of the
minority in a cnmrtinity or country

BLDG)) PURIFIERS
We often hear persons speak, of
their blood as being thin or in a bad
condition, and this, most frequently
in the spring of the year,
There is a popular belief that when
spring comes, the body should be
given a purge to rid it of the poisons
whioh are supposed to have accum-
ulated during the winter, and. to fol-
low this by it tonic to purify the
blood.
It is .true that by the time the
spring, comes, there are a number of
people who do not feel well. - They
are all tried out, and their appear-
ance answers the• description they
give of themselves. No wonder they
feel miserably and look itl For
months, they have led the kind of
life which would make anyone lose
his health, They shut themselves
into bot rooms with no ventilation,
take no exercise, never go out into
the fresh air, and eat just as much
as they do when they are active dur-
ing the summer, Itis bad habits of
living during the •winter months
which cause the trouble; the blood
'has nothing to do with it.
Prevention is better than cure,
boot if you have not been taking
reasonable cave of your health dur-
ing •the winter and you are now feel-
ing the results of your carelessness,
you will want to know what you
should do.
The only way to get back what
you have lost is by paying attention
to the points you have neglected.
Health which you have lost by your
indifference will not be regained by
!the use of "spring tonics." Health
is found in,fresh airy exercise 'and
attention to the diet, .
Tho body is quite capable of rid-
ing itself of its waste material .if it
is given half a chanoe. Use water
1 internally and externally. Talcs a
wdrin bath at least once oweek to
help the skin to function properly,
Drink a glass. or two of water before
breakfast and between each meal to
help elimination. Cultivate regular
toilet habits, Fresh coal ale acts
as a stimulant for 'the whole body
and: together with sunshine, is na-
tere's own spring tonic. -
The body cannot be healthy unless
13 is kept in good running order by
exercise. The big muscles of the
body must be kept in condition by
use. Whether it is work or play
which brings them into use does not
natter so long as they ,are used.
Eat according to the work you are
doing. Let your diet consist of a
wide variety of foods, and remember
that milk, green vegetables and
fruits should be used regularly.
The blood is as clean and pure in
the springtime as it is at any other
time. Alterations in the blood are
brought about by certain diseaess,
but not by the seasons of the year.
Blood purifiers are not required.
What is needed, and all that is need-
ed is healthy living.

dressed to the Canadian IZedical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
