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 • • CHEVROLET'• The world a lowest priced Ste. 12 models fisting from. 2610 to 2840 at factory. n PONTiAC 6 models, listing from $97'5 to $1,0.15 at .

The women's department in the newspapers: and magazines and 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 bring out the latent, talents in wo- men andhave thus helped in making her a better wife a -better mother and a better citizen.

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. REBEKAH frealth Service 11'lot i'laartabth�t ebira1A , uriatintt mesa t, ;>i nr' sat 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.

HURMDY Ever since the stocks' went flooey we notice that gentlemen prefer bonds. The harrassed aensus-takers fin- ished their canvassing on the 25th, and some of them were ready to take leave of their senses Iong before that date. This is the weather when the pee- wee golfer passionately pursues the piffling pullet o'er the petty putter- ing plot. Is he a nut? Or just a peanut? Toronto, thrifty old soul, is busy saving daylight. Better store away a little to illumine those foggy and involved sentences her aldermanic as- pirants will spout forth abodt next December.

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." The Sooty.

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.
