TUi JOY KILLER
A woman there was who made house-
work her god,
And toiled at it.:a:..rly and. late;
She cleaned and she scrubbed, till
the neighbors were awed,
At the order and shine of her place.
Her children walked .softly, afraid of
her nerves,
She took all the joy out of life.
And the man she had married oft
A asked if he'd found
cleaning machine or a wife.
She swept all her beauty and glad-
ness. away,
Her past is sealed in a tomb
On her monument gray, they have
carved, so they. say,
A duster, a mop and a :broom.
—Mrs. 11, Berham.
I do not believe She le quite so
common as she used to be, the wo-
man who is never happy unless she
is scouring something, but probably
we all know the type. She scours
horning, noon and night, if it is not
her pantry floor it her children's
faces and she feels more concern
aver a spot on their clean frocks
than- a blot on their moral charac-
ters. She is usually a good rook,
one •who carefully prepares he
meals, butthe eating• of them, which
should be a ' happy fancily function
is robbed of its joy by the fretful
boss of the mother and by her ad
monishions about clean hands or
about spots on the table linen
In the old-fashioned debating 604
cieties one subject coming up. every
so often to be debated upon was the
relative virtues of the good-natured
slattern and the had -tempered expert
housekeeper, Personally we should
pray to be delivered from both.
There is a happy medium which the
great • majority of housekeepers have
attained to, which is much ; more
comfortable for themselves aald for
their households.
The well-informed modern house-
keeper hates dirt and labours to dis-
pel it from her .home for sanitary
reasons. By a well -ordered system
of housekeeping she manages so that
her house is kept clean, and well
aired, that her food is carefully pre-
pared in a sanitary way and cook-
ed and served attractively; she alsq
manages to keep herself neatly at-
tired, even though she has to make-
over, mend and wash and iron to
achiete it, and she manages to sit

The women's department in the

women's organizations, such as the
Women's Auxiliaries in connection
with the different churches, the Wo-
men's Institute, etc., have helped to

grumble a bit about the time spent

pardonable wives.
Any man is wise to encourage his
wife to affiliate' 'herself with souse
women's organizations and to assist
g 1
her in gaining the time to attend the
Meetings of such organizations. A
woman needs to 'nix with her fellow
women; to have time to chat with
them over their common problems,.
to find out, perhaps, that while her
own husband and 'condition in life
may not be ideal, that others have
likedrawbacks, or worse ones. And
especially to exchange ideas and get
brightened up br intercourse with
others than those of her oivn' fam-
ily. She comes back into the home`
with a new outlook, with something
different to talk` about. And even
if
she does get some ideas of iia-
provements about the houseand en•
vironments •which mean 'a bit of ex-
tra work and perhaps some alight
outlay of mbney,'the improvement is
usually well worth it.
A writer once said that if it had
not been for women men would still
be living in caves and 'cooking their
food over an open fire built in the
centre of a heap of stones. Perhaps
it is true, and women` are only be-
ginning to exert their influence.

OF THE,
GRANT'FI,EatfNO." M.b. -. ASS S`OCIITE SECRETA
SUMMER ROUND -UP.
In many places they have what is
called a summer round -up of the
children who are to start school for
the first time in the autumn,
The idea of the round -up is to have
the children medically. e'famined.
Those who, at that time, are found
to be in need of medical care are
sent to their doctor and their dentist
for treatment in prder that when
they start school in the autumn
they will be physically fit.
Parents should not wait until the
child is ready to go to school to have
this done. However, if they have
neglected this point, it is better to
attend to it now than to wait until
school opens.
One of the eommenest and most
serious mistakes that parents make
is to allow an abnormal condition
to persist •with the idea that the
child will grow out of it, or that he
is too young to have treatemnt.
The child who cannot see without
glasses is obviously handicapped un -
bib he has been fitted with proper
giases. The child who has a running
ear is almost surely on his way to
deafness, -which is ' a -serious handi-
cap, unless his ear is properly treat-
ed. Children do not grow out of
such conditions.
Not only are diseased tonsils and
teeth a handicap to the child, but
they are dangerous in that they
poison the body and are, it is be-
lieved, very often tit% cause of heart
and kidney disease in later life,
No child should be handicapped by
conditions which can be corre^ted by
proper treatment. There should be
no delay in securing treatment sim-
ply because of the mistaken idea
that the defects are not serious, or
that the child is too young for treat-
fnteat or that he will grow out of the
defects.
Particularly are we anxious to
remind parents of school children
that if the school doctor or nurse has
advised that their child should be
taken to the family doctor, they
follow this advice immediately if
they have failed to do so before.
We would say also to parents
whose children will start to school
for the first time this year, to see
to it that they are in the best pos-
sible condition to benefit by the
trine they will spend in school. Give
every child a chance.
'Vaccination against smallpox and
immunieialtion against diphtheria
should be done in the first year of
life. If this has been neglected so
far, it should be done now. As far
as is possible, every child should
have the advantage of protection,
frost disease, and protection aga&set
two diseases can be secured for the
child by having hint vaccinated and
immunized.
The start may go far in deciifaug
the result. School prepares the
child for adult life; now is the tine
to give the child a proper start at
school and so help him to success in
later Life.

Noiseless Tenors
lOane thing the radio engineers have
not yet invented is an attachment for
making tenors. noiseless. ,Personally
we number among our friends sever
al excellent tenors to whom these re-
marks do not apply.
'Seiehody--probably a green-eyed
baritone --•said, that the tenor voice
was a disease. If so, our tenor
friends have said nothing about it to
us, They prefer to submit with a
good grace to the whims of fate.
But the tenors who bawl at us in
restaurants and from the door of
every radio -shop! 11%stllinks, eitizens
they might be soft-pedalled a trifle,
if not suppressed. The trouble is that
they leave nothing to the imagina-
tion.
The swollen -neck production, the
wide-open throat, the tonsil tone, the
uvula vibrato, the spaghetti trem-
olo, the weinerwrust breathing, the
Eyetalian method, the John Smith
method, the Chautauqua -tour meth-
od, the ten -days -in -a -Yankee -summer
school method, the ten -nights -in -a -
bar -room method, the •home-brew-
baek-to-the-dear-old-woodshed meth-
od—all these steal upon the ear
though we try to steel the said ear
against them.
And so we think it is up to the
radio engineers to invent some sort
of a gadget to control this vocal flood
of unbidden melody. That poet had
the right idea who said:
"Along the cool, sequestered vale of
life
They kept the noiseless tenor of
their way."

s a car on a hill. or curve
Experienced drivers of motor cars have learned that there is one
rule of the road which cannot be violated without danger to life
and limb ... these seasoned drivers .always keep in line when
the road ahead is obscured.
Hill tops and curves are blind spots on the highway. You can't
see what is coming toward you . . and there's almost always
sure to be another car coining around the curve or over the hill.
The one safe rule is to stay on your side of the road ... the right
side.
Every ;time you take a chance that the road ahead may be clear,
you jeopardize your own safety and the approaching motorist
may be made an innocent victim of your carelessness , , , surely
a heavy price to pay in conscience and _cash.
After all you can observe the ttHill and Curve rule" for a whole
season without losing as much as sixty minutes' tithe all told .. .
