At the meeting of the Women's In-
stitute in Clinton on Thursday after-
noon last the District President, Mks,
Davidson of Dungannon, who accom-
panied the summer speaker, Miss
Smith, in the course of her remarks,
touched upon a matter which I have
on more than one occasion stressed.
That is the realization by those whose
business it is to make and keep up a
home of the importance and dignity
of their task.
Too often, perhaps, the work of the
homemaker is so hard, so exacting,
so time -absorbing that those engaged
in it feel that it is nothing short of
drudgery; that there is nothing id-
•ealistie or inspiring in it and it is
difficult to live up to the idea that
they are engaged in a work so
portant.
The mother of a very charming
family of boys and girls, a family of
which she is very proud and with
good reason, recently said in my
hearing that she did not enjoy her

she evidently found the task heavy

for a tired mother to idealize her
work as she goes along, ' but the
harder it is to do it the more ideal it,
is, if she does it as well as . she is
able, and many a man and ;woman
reared in homes such as that men-
tioned above bears feeling testimony
to the gallantry of a mother who
thus laboured to rear and train and
fit them for life.
Another mother recently said. that
talk of the sacrifices made by moth-
ers"for their children never appealed
to her. "For every sacrifice made
by a mother for her children," she
said, "she is repaid twice over. She
doesn't count them at all; it is what
she likes to do at the time --' I ca
not count that a sacrifice,"

"1VI;AI{E IT CLUBS"
A myriad of little clubs are spring-
ing up all over the land, and a myr-
fad of little men are springing up
to address them. To be "the speaker
of the day" at any of these meetings
is a delightful sensation. We are
going to offer a few hints for those
who have ambitions along this line.
Of course such hints are not in-
tended for trained speakers, like sev-
eral splendid fellows we know., " who
n talk on anything and every -
lung at a moment's notice (and are
molly busy doing so). We wouldn't
This mother was left a 'widow with
a young family, not all educated ev-
en yet. But this was her testimony
and when one sees her with her chil-
dren one can believe that she gets
her pay as she goes along in the
happy companionship of her chil-
dren. "
But the homemaker, the mother of
a family, who is spending her days
planning how she may best nourish
and clothe and care for her children
and put something by for a rainy
day; who goes about her task in an
intelligent way and provides not on-
ly the food and clothing for her
young, but coinpanionship for both
husband and children and some
trar,'ping in morals and in antieipation
of the needs of life, is having one
of the most intportant of careers. It
is not spectacular, of course. She
may go on doing this sort of thing
I all her life without so much as a
word of appreciation.. But she has
the satisfaction of knowing that she
left the world better than she found
it; that her life counted for some-
thing.
And while she is working at
the task I would like her to "mag-
nify her office," realize' that she is
"doing a great work," and not to gn
about with the feeling that she's of
no account, I'd like her to hold up
her head and insist upon her work
being properly respected. She will
be happier, her family will be hap-
pier and, of this I feel sure, her work
will be more worthily done.

But to return to our niuttonheads,

as the germ that causes sleeping -

ous! Be deep! Be" nebulous! Be
emphatic!

"Gentlemen` My subject today is

"Be that as it may, we pride our-
selves upon the fact that to the enor-
mous majority of persons. the true
force of this argument is being felt
today as never before"
And so forth. Anybody who can
catch the swing of it can keep go-
ing indefinitely, or until the audience
has all tip -toed out quietly, one by
one, in an orderly manner. You may
never again get invited to speak be-
fore that particular club, but why

DIPHTHERIA CAN BE
• PREVENTED
'We know as much about diphtheria
as we do about any other disease, in
fact, we may know more. We know
the germ that causes diphtheria; we
know how the disease is spread from.
one person to another; we know how
to cure the disease providing treat-
ment is given promptly on the first
day, and, lastly and most important
of all, we know how to prevent diph-
theria,
We are indeed in the happy posi-
tion of possessing the knowledge
which would enable us to overwhelm
diphtheria and to make it one of the
rarest diseases. We are in a posi-
tion to annihilate one of the foes
which, for generations, has menaced
human life and left a trail of damag-
ed bodies in its wake.
To know this is one thing, but to
take the necessary action is another.
We know how to prevent diphtheria.
but just because we have this know-
ledge, we will not cause diphtheria
to disappear. Diphtheria will dis-
appear when we' neake use of what
we know and not before.
There is a substance called diph-
theria toxoid. When this substance
is injected under the skin, it stimul-
ates the body to produce the forces
which enable it to overcome the poi-
sons which diphtheria germs give off.

curing protection against a disease
which is responsible for about nine
hundred deathe each year in Canada.
What all those who are responsible
for the dare of young children should
know is that diphtheria will not be
prevented unless each child is given
the necessary injections of diphther-
ia toxoid whereby be is ilnurtized or
protected.
The responsibility rests with par-
ents. The method of preventing dip-
theria has been discovered; everyone
is being told about it. The family
physician is ready to give the injec-
tions. In many places, the Health
Department furnishes the Diphtheria
toxoid. All of this Is of no value,
however, unless each parent or each
person responsible sees to it that
his own child or each child under his
care is protected.
Diphtheria is a disease which oc-
curs early in life. It is not safe to
delayin
having children immunized.
This should be attended to before
the end of the first year, but even
if your child is more than a year old
and has not ab yet received the ne-
cessary injections, they should be
given without delay.
It is urged upon all parents not
to delay in having all their young
children inhmunized, When that has
been done, we can say not only that
diphtheria can be prevented. but al-
so that it has been prevented. -"

workshops. Only in the case of ship-
building was there anything , ap-
proaching the modern factory sys-
tem where workers at the same trade
are concentrated in large establish-
ments.
The first ship building in Canada
was done by Pont -Grave who built
two vessels at Port Royal in 1606
When he believed himselfto have
been deserted by de Monts. It was
Talon, however, who gave shipbuild-
ing in the colony the status of an in-
dustry and in 1665 before he left
New France 350 Hien out of a total
population of less than 7,000 were
engaged in constructing wooden ves-
sels.
Under British rule the industry
developed rapidly as the Canadian
forest not only provided the material
for the ships themselves, but also the
cargoes of timber that made ship-
building profitable. The building of
wooden strips reached its maximum
development about 1865. In 1852
Quebec had 25 shipyards and eight ,
floating docks giving employment to
5,000 workers.
With the advent of iron and steel
bulls and the use of steam, the build-
ing of wooden ships declined until it
is at present confined to the con-
struction of small coasting vessels,
bank schooners, river and lake craft
and pleasure boats. The Royal Wjl-

Will Help You
We are interested in making your advertising a paying in-
vestment. 'We have probably discussed with you occasionally the
method by which a merchant may arrive at the necessary amount
to appropriate for advertising. Aa properly apportioning is one of
the basic essentials of profitable advertising, we pass on to you this
report front the Bureau of Business Research; which we trust you
will peruse at your convenience:
The foremost authorities on retail store advertising rnaintain
that from 2 to 3 per cent. of the gross sales should be invested in
advertisieg'during ethe year,. According to statistics prepared by
the Bureau of Business. Research the following percentages of
•gross sales 'are usual and correct for the advertising expenditures
for the various types of retail stores:
Departmental stores, 7,0 to 3.1 per cent;
grocery Y stores, s
0.4
pet. haberdashery, 3,3per cent; women's wear shops, 8.1 per cent;
furniture. 6.3 per cent; general merchandise, .1.5 per cent; drug
stores, 0.8 per cent; cleaning and dyeing, 3.3 per cent; electrical
shops, 2.7 per cent; hardware, 0.9 per cent; jewelry, 3.1 per cent;
restaurants, 3.1 per cent; millinery, 2,2 per cent; music stores, 8.3
percent; shoe stores, 2,9 per cent;
The population in every community changes at a rate fax more
rapid than most people realize. In some eases it is 25 per cent. in
three years. For that reason, if for no other, continuous adver-
tising and presentation of a firm's name and business are as vital
as window displays and stock upkeep. Every customer won, added
to the customers already patronizing a business, fills the place of
another customer who is moving away or is, otherwise lost to the
business.
The retailer who adopts an advertising -budget plan and con-
sistently follows it has 'a definite and tangible proposition. You
never hear it charged that some of the biggest stores and businesses.
price their goods higher just because of their advertising. Motor
.makers spend anany millions in advertising to make it possible to
make more cars and sell them cheaper. However, the budget will
permit of fluctuation and may be changed from month to month,
depending on weather and other conditions, but over the course of
the year it may be followed as a correct and safe guide.
11 is 'unfair to advertising to expect it to do all the winning and
keeping of beide. The most that advertising can do is to get cus-
tomers into the store. From that point it is up to the management
and sales force to make it profitable. A good stock, well selected
and displayed, with clerks well informed on the goods and "values
offered- -+these, together with smile's and assurances of honest sat-
isfaction, roust accompany advertising to make it pay. Advertising
is worse than wasted which brings customers into a place to be neg-
lected. The clerk who shows no interest 3n the lady wishing to bay
a medium-priced hat or coat may be offending the very customer
who next year will be in a position to spend ;five trines the amount
for that purpose, '
