SONG OF LOVELY THINGS
How many lovely thing's there be!
'The ever-changing, restless sea; the
gracious, friendly, shady tree; and
children laughing in their glee.
How many lovely things there are!
The glowing, beaming, friendly star,
the garden gate that stands ajar,
the sound of church 'bells from afar.
How many lovely things I know!
Stories of lovers long ago, and
places where the lilies blow, and
children's voices, - sweet and low.
What lovely things have touched my
heart -see how the waves caress and
part, and watch pale dawn from
night upstart and slip into her mys-
tic .mart. What lovely things illy
ears have heard; the trilling song of
happy bird, a horse by anxious lor-
•er spurred, a toddler's sweetly -lisped
first word. What lovely- things my
eyes have seen; snow-covered hills
and fields e,f green, and silks of
wonderous weave and sheen—and
Baby's toothless smile serene.
Wilhelmina Stitch.
What is the loveliest thing you
have 'seen during the past week?
A writer recently told us that we
should try to see one beautiful thing
each day. It seems to me that that
is 'the easiest thing one can do, the
trouble would be to miss seeing one
beautiful thing each day. But one
needs to keep one's wits about one,
otherwise we niay take even the
most beautiful things for granted
and so miss half their beauty.
'But what do you consider beauti-
ful? A white cloud drifting across
a sky of blue may fairly thrill the
heart with its beauty; the view out
over waving fields of grain or a
grassy slope where kine feed peace-
fully brings a message of security
and plenty which stimulates and re-
freshes; the sight, of children at play,
blooming flower beds, the shade of a
leafy tree upon the grass, all these
are simple, everyday things, which
anyone may see but which we do not
always appreciate at their full val-
ue. We are actually surrounded
with beauty day by day but so ac-
customed are we to it that it has be-
come commonplace and we look for
'something quite outstanding before
we acknowledge it as beauty.
"I do not care for cannon flow-
•ers," a woman said to me the other
day. I thought that a strange taste,
as I like the common flowers• very
much, more, really, than the rare
ones, because they come so near us,
;you can gather them and use them,
you need not treat them with such
respect, admire them from a dis-
tance, as it were. And, when you
think of it, how much they add to
the beauty of the world. How lovely
a bed of nasturtiums can be and what
rewards they give for a little bit of
care! You can gather great bowls
of them today and tomorrow they
greet you with a mycid • of fresh
blooms. No amount of picking dis-

eourages'them. They love to supply
you. Then they grow so easily.
Fling a few seeds hi almost any
kind of earth and they, come upand
begin to bloom as soon as they are
any size at all and keep at it until,
the frost comes. They are hardly
the sort of a decoration for•: a for-
mal dinner party, perhaps; But can
you think of anything fresher and.
brighter' for the breakfast table
than a bowl of freshly picked nas
turtiums ?
The there are the pretty single
petunias. If you want a lot of
bloom without much trouble nothing
will repay a little care so readily
as that little, homely flower. The bid
fashioned roses, the ones with the
rich perfume; the ones which used
to over -run old-fashioned cemeteries
and old-fashioned gardens, before
roses begun to be so .infested with
parasites, could anything be love-
lier? Roses which were roses bloom
ed then. Great bushes of them, not
the little, meageij, pruned things
which gardeners point to with such
pride nowadays. The roses which
grow on these little rose plants are
often very pretty, but as often as
not they lack perfume. The old gar-
den roses, pink and red and white,
were always rich in perfume. True
they fell very soon, you couldn't keep
them fresh for a week, as you may
some roses nowadays, and they were
little use for cut flowers, but they
made up for it by putting out a pro-
fusion of bloom and perfuming all
the surrounding vicinity. 'Amongst
the old-fashioned perennials too.
are the Sweet William, the peonies,
the one flower which has been im-
proved without spoiling its blooming
quality, the forget-me-nots, the
bachelor's buttons, and dozens of
other common flowers which beautify
the gardens of those who love them.
I love therm all. Even the weeds,
many of them, are lovely. Can you
imagine anything lovelier than the
coloram
and formation of the dande-
lion?
Common flowers are something
like common people. There are sq
many of them and they are such
comfortable things to have around.
You can be yourself with eom'mon
people. You do not need to pose or
to pretend to be anything but what
yr'a are. The practise of the plain,
ordinary virtues is what makes peo-
ple easy to live with. A mean or
woman need not be a genius in or-
der to be a good companion or house
mate. In fact, I can imagine some
very brilliant people being "ill to
live wi'" as the Scots say. But the
common variety of wholesome peo-
ple are ' like my common garden
Gowers, they make the hone garden
a very pleasant and inviting place to
be.
For my part the rare flowers
may continhe to be the playthings
of the wealthy et the leisured, if on-
ly about me r can see blooming day
by day the common variety which
seem to love to bloom just to add to
the pleasure of those who give them
a scant amount of care and atten-
tion. And I can get on beautifully
without the geniuses if I can have as
'companions the wholesome, happy,
common folk,

Looking After Your Lammergeier
It is considered very much au fait
toossess'
p something unusual in the
way of a pet. Every dog has his
day, and the cats their nights, whlch
leaves nothing much except goldfish
and canaries, and these have been
rather overdone in the past. Movie
stars are going in more and more
for monkeys, but there is danger of
confusion here. Some people being
unable to tell which is the monkey.
If you wish to have something dis-
tinctly novel I would Suggest the
lammergeier. You may have forgot-
ten just what this is, which only
goes to prove the uniqueness of such
a choice as this would, be. No
doubt, if a few prominent people took
it up, it would become quite the rage
in a certain "set:"
Well, now, the lammergeier, as my
"ensike" will tell you, is the great
bearded vulture ,of the lofty moun-
tains of Scuthein Europe, Asia and
Northern Africa. Some class, eh,
what? Now for a few real hints as
to the care of this noble fowl.
In 'making a selection, be sure to
choose strong, healthy birds in full
song (Coloratura sopranos are the
nicest). The feathers should be tight
to the body or you will have trouble
with then moulting all over the
place. Pull out a few handfulls to
see if they eonte away readily or
not, that is, if you can without get-
ting bitten.
It is easy to tell the young full-
grown birds from the old. Examine
the feet avell and see if they have
bunions. The old birds get lots of
these from roosting on the mountain
crags.
Naturalists tell us that the lam-
mergeier is the link between the
vultures and the eagles. It is both
vulgar and .liable, yen see. Thus,
in making a pet of the lammergeier,
you will do well to try to bring out
its better nature. This means let-
ting it inhabit the living room in-
stead 'of the woodshed. Always he
on your best behaviour in front of
it, and this will net only be helpful
to the bird, but will be attractive to
the customers, if you wish to com-
mercialize your hobby.
The lamniergeier is said to carry
bones to a great height, and drop
them on the rocks to Obtain pieces
small enough tq swallow. To allow
it to indulge in this pretty whim,
first, get a few boulders anc,trew
them on the front lawn. Second,
procure some bones frdm the butch-
er and hand them to the bird. Third,
tie a stout cord to the fowl's leg
(binder -twine is hardly strong en-
ough) and let your pet fly up the
full length ot the cord. Perhaps the
cord may break and the bird get a-
way. And maybe you will be just as
glad. if it does.

sponsible for the symptoms of which
the patient 'eonrplains. He will give
treatment to relieve the symptoms
but the important treatment which
he will prescribe is that which will
deal with the cause of the symptoms.
Proper treatment cannot be based
Merely upon a description of the
patient's symptoms as contained in
a letter, because a personal examina-
tion is necessary in order that the
doctor may find out the real nature
of the condition.
It is in the early stages of disease
that treatment can accomplish the
most, because it, is then that there is
hope of preventing the development
of the disease into a more serious
stage. In addition, it is easier to
correct conditions which have not
become chronic.
Por these reasons, it is plain that
adequate treatment in the early stag-
es of disease is the treatment which
should be received. It can not he re-
ceived as long as people continue tq
try and treat themselves and so al-
low disease to progress and become
firmly fixed before they seek help.
It is delay which causes so .many
cases of tuberculosis, cancer and
heart disease to come far treatment
only when the disease is far advanc
ed.
Adequate early treatment is the
hope of those who are unfortunate
enough to require any treatment.
Delay in securing adequate treatment
often leads to disaster.
Questions concerning Health ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter.
ADEQUATE EARLY TRE'ATMI3NT
A great many letters come to us
in which the writers explain that aft -
4 having tried all sorts of self -pre-
scribed treatments, without success,
they would now welcome' advice as
to what, they should do about the
condition they described:
This is one thing which should be
realized by everyone, and that is,
that proper treatment San not bre
prescribed unless the -.condition which
requires treatment is understood. In
other words, a diagnosis must pre-
cede treatment.
You may think that when you go
to your doctor because of a pain in
your head or in your abdomen, what
you want is to get rid of the pain
and you may think also that you do
not care what causes the pain as
long as you are freed from suffering
You do care, however, because while
relief from. pain and other distress-
ing symptoms mutat be secured, if
treatment stops at that point, then
it is not proper treatment; it is not
the treatment you require. -
The pain `in the abdomen due to
appendicitis can be relieved very
easily, blit treatment which gives
only temporary relief will net save the
life of the patient. Distress after eat-
ing may be overcome by the use of
baking soda, but. if ,that distress is
due to cancer, the baking soda treat-
ment is obviously not what is need-
ed. The cough may be stopped, but
if it is due to tuberculosis, merely
stopping the cough will not cure the
tuberculosis.
The doctor examines his patient
in order to make a diagnosis, that
is, to find out the cause, nature and
extent of the condition which is re -
USEFUL HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS
Fresher Sponges
To whiten and purify a sponge,
soak it in milk and rinse thoroughly
in warm water to which a little car-
bolic acid has been added. It will be
like new.
Soiled handkerchiefs
Soiled handkerchiefs are not near-
ly so unpleasant to launder if soak-
ed over night in cold water in which
1 teaspoon of salt and borax have
been dissolved. Launder as usual.
Clean and, Polished
To keep an enameled washing ma-
chine looking well, wash it outside
with kerosene each week after the
laundry -is done, then wash off with
hot soapsuds and dry with a soft
cloth.
The Best. Way
If the candle is too large for the
cande stick just hold the end in hot
water and you will be able to easily -
'press it to fit the candle stick. This
gives a nicer finish than shaving it
with a knife.
A Small Container
Keep a small wooden box near
your laundry tubs. You will find it
convenient to hold the buttons, hooks
etc., that may conte off the garments
during the washing process. Some-
times these buttons aro difficult to
match.
Paper Wrappings
The waxed paper wrappings from
bread may be used • to advantage in
wiping off the gas range after each
meal. They polish as well as clean.
Moist Heat
One cook never Hees her oven with-
out placing.. a small dish of hot wa-
ter in one corner. She says it pre-
vents scorching, burning and drying
out of foods.
More About House Plants
Keep the dirt loosened and culti-
vated around house plants. Put
them into the tub for a shower bath
about once a week and•feed them a
little fertilizer occasionally.
Warped from the Heat
Should the ironing board warp and
prove annoying, put the coverings on
the other side.. In a short time the
heat will straighten the board out
and it will remain straight.
A Comfortable Feeling
If yen have ever slipped in the
bathtub and have an uncertain feel-
ing each time you take a bath in
consequence, buy a new white rubber
bath mat and place it in the bottom
of the tub. You will lose that un-
pleasant feeling of slipping with this
firm, surface under foot.
A Quicker Fire
If the wood in the range does noi.
catch readily, try throwing a teas-
poon of 'sugar on it. .It will !blazeup
immediately, and is' much safer than
kerosene, so frequently and unwisely
used.
ri FlourytiSieve
After using the sieve for floury
articles, it is anything but easy to
wash. However, if a stiff brush
with ammonia water is applied to it
a few vigorous strokes will do the
trick. Never use soap on it.
Don't Forget
Keep clean rather than make
clean.
Hot soapsuds aro effective when
• cleaning bronze.
Oysters have beeait found •indiges-
tible. ; only -wile. Over conked and
next month has an r so oysters will
soon be in season again.
A weak. solution of oxalic acid wi1l.
remove long-standing iron rust.
Dead leaves should be cut from a
house plant as soon as they appear.
Flowers leftin sick room at
night consume fresh air and are in-
jurious to the patient..
Powder stains can be renmeved
from suits and collars of coats by
sponging with household ammonia.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1931
Ottawa's Carillon
By ,Dr, Edward Ornero4, in The
Canadian Motorman
The sin has dipped down beyond
thei
h thedistant Laurentian in
stn
a paggeantry of barbari
c gorgeous,
and the heavens have become a spec-
tacle cf utter, chromatic delight in
the afterglow . , '
Far back into' the east the light
clouds are touched with tenderest
shades of rose and white gold, and
the surface of the broad river below
has !become a living mirror, reflect-
ing the loveliness of the serene sky.
In the Park and • on Nepean Point
and on Parliament 11111 benches are
beginning to fill up with people
weary of the to'oi-ardent summer
heat, searching for a share of the re-
freshing evening breeze that comes
up pleasantly from the west, where
the Chaudiere roars its ceaseless
monody. On the broad, close -clipped
lawns children play unmolested, and.
the hands of the big clock creep a-
round toward nine. In a few min-
utes. there will commence the Sun-
day evening Carillon concert from
the Singing Tower on Parliament
Hill.
The colors are fading from the
sky now, and a half-grown moon be-
gins to send down its, silvery light, to
fall through the heavy elms in a
dappled carpet of loveliness on the
lawns and openspaces.
The last vibration of the clock's
marking of nine dies away, and there
is a brief pause of anticipation. Then
oommences, so gently one can scarce
say just when it started, a fairylike
peal of music of .marvelous sweet-
ness and . purity of tone. It seems
unbelievable that anything so dainty
and airy could proceed from a source
so gross as mere iron bells. Yet
go it is; it swells and recedes, and
swells again, growing in tone and
force until great booming volumes
of harmony are being thrown upon
the still evening air.
It is a short number, the first one,
and soon ended. People shift to fresh!
positions of comfort and await the !
next. This is a stately hymn, and
in the slow, measured melody of the
air time unseen carillonneur finds his'
way into the hearts of the more eld-
erly of his big audience.
The night grows darker, and there
peals out now the harmony of an
old love -song, that again touches the
hearts of the many listeners. It is
"Absent":
"And sometimes in the quiet gloom
apart,
The tall trees whisper, whisper heart
to heart—
From my fond lips the eager ans-
•wers fall;
Thinking I hear thee, thinking ;I.
hear thee call.."
It is the age-old, undying voice of
all who have loved and lost, and can-
not forget! p
There is more classical music —
on8O
w niers whether the player
knows the oft -repeated call of the
common people for more -,-•and ever
mere of the old-fashioned, simple
music , they can understand—and
there are other hymns. One thing :oil
ly is missing—rwe are rather glad
of it; we hope no one provides' means
for jazz on the carillon!
There is a beautiful rendering of
the old, sweet,' "Kentucky dome" and
the concert is ended — the clock
hands stand at ten.
Quietly, and with an air of hav-
ing been in touch with something
beautiful and restful, the people be-
gin to disperse in the white' moon-
light.
What have the pessimists who
claim that the world grows steadily
worse to say of this Sunday evening
gathering? Are they touched that
the victims .of speed mania halt for
an hour and park their chariots by
hundreds in eonvenient places, that
they may hear the music? Does the
Spectacle of the multitude of people
soberly and seriously giviing thein -
selves for an hour to the beautiful
and the loftly, concern them? It well
might,
The Park policeman is indulgent
of lour desire to steal the last pos-
sible moment of the night's moonlit
beauty. A numbir of people linger
Somewhere near at hand in the hush
IL girl's voice recites pleasantly
something about bells . extraor-
dinary creatures, the flappers; with
their bobbed hair, cigarettes, and dis-
rregard of sex-ionventions, they even
know .poetry!
The voice is quiet and cultured.
The 'owner is probaply quite unaware
of the extent of her audience .
voices are stilled, that we may lis-
ten:
"There's a bell in Mose-Ow,
in tower and kiosk -o
In Saint Sophia the Turkmen gets
And loud in air
Calls men to prayer,
From tapering summits of tall min-
arets .. .
"Such empty phantom
I freely grant them,
But there's an anthem more dear to
;me --
'Tis the bells of Shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the Elver
