And Memory sits there every day; • She is, the, guardian of these wares. My' heart, it often wends that. way; To see this shop, and how it fares. My heart .peers through the window pane With eyes like ,pools of smiles and .tears, So '•glad and sad, to see again the curios of bygone years. Says Memory, "0 heart, draw near, Here is a little shining dream, f And here a tippling song of cheer, And here your childhood's fairy. stream." An antique shop this Past of mine; Its gems kept safe by Memory, Each\kind word heard, how they de shine, Set in rare Fancy's filigree, Just 'round the corner on Life's street, A IittIe antique shop I know. My heart fares forth with quickened heat, To view the gems of long ago. -Wdlheimina Stitch. Es there anything just like the joy with which members of a family, af- ter years, perhaps, of separation, in which each takes his or her part in life, carrying life's burdens with more or less bravery and success, sit down and recall the memories of childhood days and the escapades and experiences of youth? The same is true of members of communities, who scatter in youth, each one eager °to see the world, each one keeling the pulsing- tides of ambition within hin and longing to cut ,the hampering ties of youth, and get out and show what he or she cattalo. Yeats" pass, experience follows experience and one may be •successful beyond one's fairest dreams, or, may be a dull failure. But as the years pileup al - mast without exception the mind and heart hark ;back to the old conunun- ity, to the days of yesteryear; the home of childhood and the, comrades ()tone's youth,, That is what makes. Old Home Weeks and Old Boy's Re- unions so( papular, they cater toa cry of need from the heats of the majority of men and women. Men 'and women in humble spheres and men and twomen doing the world's most important work, carrying the world's heaviest burdens. Even Rt. Hon, Ramsay MacDonald, who one would think had surpassed the dream of the most imaginative of boys, On every occasion possible, hies himself back to Lossiemouth,thehbme of itis boyhoq'l, where he finds soothing and rest from the strenuous work -of try- ing to manage suoeessfully the affairs of a great country. The inevitableness of this harking back of men and women to the days and scenes of childhood is one reason I believe and have on more than one. occasion urged upon parents and guardians of children, that the insur- ing to children of a happy childhood is the most valuable service that can be rendered them. For in this way the child is not only able to grow and develops its powers most surely, but a fund of happy memories is thus being stored up which will prove a source of ;happiness as long as life lasts. REBEKAH How My World Wags By That Ancient Mariner DEAN D. RUMMY "A. little learning is a dangerous thing," warned the poet. No wonder the kids hate going back to school. A report from Banff, Alta., rays that a woman -golfer, Mrs. Sherman, made the first hole -in -one there. lgany a Mr. Sure mean beaten by Mrs. '-'-aherman. "An 'old fixed' will be renewed this year among the contestants at the Canadian -National Exhibition mara- thon swim." Now, boys, don't get sniffy. Remember the race is not to the snift. From Niagara Falls, Ont., we learn that a bit of a boy named Dainty rode to victory in Iwo races at Stam- ford Park. We hope the ladies (ribs of Adam) had their money on Dain- ty, Shakespeare says, "Dainty bite make rich ,the ribs," Special front' Winnipeg says new tariff regulations relating to fruit have enabled cantaloupe from On- tario and British' Columbia to replace those grown in U.

I have been made a- ware, by the volume of letters re- ceived, that the ladies have been feeling rather jealous at my not pre- paring a special article for them. Well, here it is, dear ladies! These little hints, gathered during the days of my bachelor house -keeping; are very precious to me. That they may be a wonderful help to you is the ar- dent wish of your: denoted admirer, Dean. Wax paper is excellent .for cleaning the stove, Save the papers and they will de to line your cake tins when- ever you are narking a dark cake. Sprinkle salt over a dingy carpet before sweeping. It will make it look like new. It is well to run the salt through a fine colander befo,'•e putting it back into the shakers. Rub old boots with slices of raw potato and they will polish as easily as new ones, CIeanse potato slices with peroxide of hydrogen before fry- ing feu supper. Adhesive tape may be used when preparing stuffed veal or roll jelly cake. It will keep everything nicely in shape. When desired to remove tape, soften with benzine or gasoline. Instead of washing your net cur- tains this fall, use them for straining jellies, By putting different colored jellies through different areas of the curtains you will produce a pleasing modernistic effect, If house lilies are attracted to the curtain`s it will be well to spray the latter with a mix- Cure (equal.parts) of gasoline and skunk oil. • Many housewives .like to paint the kitchen .in the autumn, but find they get more paint on their hands and arms than they do on the woodwork To remove paint, get 12 large pine - 'apples and eut 'up into' small pieces. Stir with bare hands in a thick syr- up. By the time the pineapples are gently simmering the paint will have all come away. Drop a little turpen- tine into each jar, of pine apple be- fore sealing. This will remove paint from the fruit. Keep a pair of hob -nail boots han- dy to use ,when the butcher sends some tough meat. Put on the boots,. and jumlp up and dawn on the meat until tender. By doingso before an open window, and practising deep breathing, you have the added-advan- tage dded advan-tage of a very healthful form of ex- ercise. Wjhen•the boots are new it is Well to soak them in mustard and trot water (four parts -mustard to one part •hot water) before wearing. This will render the leather pliable: If saucepans get burned, do not put soda in them. Rub them well with a paste made of ammonia, ground gar- lic and Limburger cheese.. You , will never notice the burnt taste the next time you took anything in them:. GRANDPA'S MOUSTACHE CUP When Grandpa drank Hyson Or Oolong or sich. He used his mustache cup,. None finer than which. 'Twas most fascinating Te watoh Grandpa drink, And see his alfalfa So close to the brink. His spinach would. never Get soaked in his tea, Unless •he'd neglected The barber to see. Then sometimes his oakum Would slip o'er the ledge And •Grandpa's'white heather Get wet en the edge. So Grandpa would suck In His seaweed for fair, And noisily dry it, Then give it the air. . -Dean D.

Establish-ment by the federal government of old soldiers' homes where aged vet- erans may comfortably spend the evening of their lives with former comrades in arms, was advocated in a resolution unanimously adopted by the Ontario, command of the Cana- dian Legion at the third and final day's session of its ,annual convention here yesterday. Canada has 15,000 veterans of 60 years of age or over without kith or kin, the resolutions committee re- ported, pointing out that many of these old soldiers were virtually homeless, More generous treatment of ex- serviee men seeking to enter the federal civil service was asked by another resolution, under which the civil service commission will be re- quested to make provision that "qualified ex -service men applying for ,positions or promotion be ex - Evening rates (7.00 pm. to 8.90 p.m. Mid time) are considerably lower than day rates oh "any<. oat" calls.'

Pre- parations are already under way to. wards getting the lo^ -al field ready to acoonunodate the large number of planes that will take .part in the Pageant, Exhibition Plights Throughout the meet, Canada's leading pilotswill put their valued and modern planes through their p lies, in an acrobatic exhibition unparalled in the history of Western Ontario. One of the features of the show is the alt -craft display by Ber- nard Martin, who will be followed by the parachute pump of Geo. Bennett, Canada's leading parachute juniper. The autogyro will follow with an ex- hibition flight. The famous Siskin flight of the R.C.A.F., will also ant on a hair-raising series of flights and stunts. Geo. Bennett of Hamil- ton, is Canada's o,'ststanding para- chute jumper, and has to his credit well over 1,000 jumps. Although many times having close calls with death, Bennett has only once been seriously injured, when he crashed at Toronto on June 20, 1980 on his 970th jump, He was so badly injured at • that time that little hope fol' his recovery was held, but he completely recover- ed and since then has added the thousand mark, to hie credit. 'Ben- nett joined the Hamilton fire brigade on April 13, 1921, and was attached to the aerial brigade, It is said that he commenced jumping after he conceived the idea while fighting. fires from the top of a 100 feet lad- der. , Jump of 2000 Feet Bennett will jump with. an Irvin chute from a height of about 2000 feet. He will leap fron} a Fleet plane piloted (by Jack Sanderson, Bennett customarily drops several hundred feet before pulling the ria cord, and it is expected that he will follow his usual proeedure here. The pageant has visited all the principal cities of Canadts, from Coact to 'C'east as well as a largo number in : the Celled States, being everywhere spoken of as the finest bunch of fliers ever got together under the sky. Baked Shoes Wear Badly High up in Shovel Pass, in Jasper Naational Park, two young school- teachers got their feet wet. It was probably their 'repeat experience in 200 miles of hiking in the Roekiee, because when they made camp, they filled their damp shoes with warm ashes to dry them out. The next meriting as they dressed to take to the trail again, ons pair of shoes brake in halves in their fingers, and the soles dropepd off the others! Dorothy Young, B.A., from Eng- land, and Alice Rainsford, B.A., from, Ireland, who were teachers last wint- er at Ruperte Land Ladies' College, Winnipeg, spent their summer vaca- tion ' on a trip to Western Canada; most of it hiking in Jasper Nation al Park. The baked ;shoes epise,'le oc- cured in a 70 -mile (bike to Mang -tie I1ake and back through :Shovel Pass. They also visited Mount Edith Cavell to climb on the glacier, and historic Henry House, and made a trip to Mount Robson and Berg Lake. Now What are Folk - Going to Do? . BLYTH: Miss Margaret Pollock, known throughout virtually the whole province as being a noted clairvoy- ant, passed away at •a nursing home here Aug. 26th, at the age of 70 years. For years persons have come from many miles around to consult llliss Pollock regarding lost articles, miss- ing relatives or things appertaining to the future. In cased of drowning where, for days, the body has not been recovered this aged lady has been consulted, her faculty of mental Sight .seemed uncanny, and there are many persons who can testify to the correctness of her predictions. Miss Pollock was born on the eighth concession of Morristownship where she resided nearly all 'her life with her brother William.. One sis- ter, Mrs. J..Wren, of Rogersville also survives. The deceased woman was posses- sed of many admirable qualities and she was highly regarded in thecom- munity. The funeral took place Friday afternoon at 1.80 o'clock. The service was conducted by Rev. G. W. Goodwill, pastor of the Presbyterian church here, and was one of the largest at- tended in these parts for a long time and there was a great array of beau- tiful flowers, which attested to the high esteem in which she was held by, all those who came to know her, and although her success in clairvoy- ance brought 'her a great deal of nat- oriety she was of a rather quiet dis- position. WTNGHA.sr: Mr. and Mrs, Richard Gilkinsen, Wingham., Ontario, am. nounce. the engagement of their daughter, Margaret Edna, to Mr. John Leslie Fortune, son of Mr. and 1VLrs. George Fortune of Wingham. The marriage will take place quietly in September. CONTROL OF STORAGE DISEASE OP VEGETABLES. t ra 1 e So sss o v e ' Storage o f eg tablet are usually occasioned by the activity of fungi or bacteria, or by unproper conditions of temperature, : moisture and aoration, which directly eause in- ternal breakclown, os- indirectly fav- our avour the development of disease -pro- ducing organisms. Vegetable storage rots may be due to the continued activity of virulent field parasites, or to the acticsn of a group of weakly parasitic, surface- inhabiting forms. The )atter gi'pup are apparently the more active in causing storage rots . in this section of the country. While. often ,feupd contaminating the vegetable surface in the field, investigation has shown that unsanitary storage` cellars are occasionally the source of infection. As a group these parasites are capable of causing rot if the skin of the vegetable remains intact, but once the surface skin is broken, they r rapidly cause decay. Inconsequence it becomes apparent that careful con- sideration should be given to the quality, maturation, 'harvesting, sort- ing and packing of the intended °stor- age produet. Any carelessness in re gard to these • factors will result ' iii heavy storage losses, Commonly, .storage diseases are due to unfavoprable conditions of tem- perature, moisture i and aeration. Singly, or .comlbined, these environ- ntental•factors may 'be responsible feu the development of discolorationa, the loss of natural flavours, specking, and internal or external breakdown. The control of these diseases is eas- ilk` affected by maintaining the pro- per environmental conditions, suit- able for the stared product. ,The Division of Botany, • 'hien its Provincial Stations, Pathological do gt ns,' has carried en investigations relative to the control of storage diseases.

ASSOCIATE SECRETARY TUBERCULOSIS IN CHILDREN Children -have tuberculosis just as adults do. They are not born with the disease; they contract it after they are born. Providing proper care is taken children do not contract tuberculosis. The disease still occurs because, either through ignorance or carelessness, the necessary care is not taken. There is no mystery surrounding the manner in which children get tuberculosis. The disease is caused by a germ, the tubercle bacillus. This germ can neither fly nor erawl.'t'here is only one way in which it can trav- el and reach the child, and, that is by being carried along in the sputum from someone who has tuberculosis. The person who has active tuber- culosis, whether or not he knows he has the disease, has the germ of the disease in his sputum. When he coughs ci" sneezes he spreads ' the germs. The saliva he leaves on eat- ing or drinking utensils contains germs, his kisses also help to spread the disease. .Children cannot protect themselves, they are dependent upon adults for protection, consequently adults should take more precautions to safeguard the children. Careless coughing and spitting must atop. If it is necessary to cough, then the nose and mouth should be covered with a handker- chief, If expectoration is necessary, the material expectorated should be properly collected and destroyed by fire. Common eating and drinking utensils should not be tolerated and a child should never be kissed on the mouth. . To save children, we must become destroyers of germs and vee must re- fuse to do- anything which allows these enemies to pass from one per- son to another. Tuperculogis can not occur if the germs of_.the disease are not spread, and the germs will not spread if we act in such a way that the secretions from our noses and mouths are not spread• from us to others. When tuberculosis occurs among young children, it means that some- one with whom 'they have been in. frequent contact has the disease. The older person may not know it, be- cause tuberculosis• is, in many cases, a long chronic disease, one which is serious to both himself and to others. Children litho have been exposed to tuberculosis, through living in the home with an adult who has the dis- ease should be given special rare. Such children should of course, be examined from time to time te, keep a check en their condition. Tuberculosis is one disease which is greatly influenced, • if not en- tirely controlled by the general health of the individual The child who re- ceives proper fond, sufficient rest. fresh air and sunshine is not likely to develop the disease. On the other hand, the disease is very apt to prog- ress in the undernourished tired child who is in that condition because of the lack of proper food, rest, fresh air and sunshine. Questions concerning Health ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. Walk on tlw L 4 F T of e:r''miry roads the Traffic This rule is important at all times, but especially so at dusk and at night. 'At such times, no matter how careful the driver of a car is, he may not 'see you until he is very near to you and it may be impos- sible for him to stop in time to avoid inflicting serious injury. Should he swerve to avoid hitting you, though you may escape injury others may be hurt. • Of the 524 fatalities on the highways of Ontario last year a large number were caused by persons walking with rather than against traffic. why take a chance?
