Which is the most dangerous, someone asks, the fiery impetuosity of youth or the dull, cold materialism of middleage? I know the answer I would give without the need to consider one mo- ment, I would say the materialism of aniddleage. I remember so well the feeling, as if a cold'blast invaded sl room, full of warmth, light and the singing of birds, when my own youth., PAGE ful hopes and aspirations met with un sympathetic opposition and .were blighted at birth on many an occa- sion. And as I look back now I can see that while I was not always wise, while. my aspirations were per- haps lack n doomed to failure by the of practicability, yet they were gen4 erous and not to 'be scorned. So I learned to distrust those cold, cal- culating folk very early in life and my subsequent experiences have not changed that early prejudice against them. 01 course all middleaged people are not cold and materialistic. If that were so it would be a sad thing for the race. Many a man and woman, keep their idealism, their belief in the best of things, their faith in the "pot of gold at the end of the rain bow," on into old age. These are the sort of people one likes to meet and to know. These are the only sort of people who ought to have anything todo with children. Life teaches us much; gives as much as it takes, usually. But it need nob make us so cold and indifferent to the glowing aspirations of youth that our very presence gives them n chill. No matter how white the hair becomes, we should try and keep the heart beating sturdy and strong, and ever open to the sweet confid- ences onfidences of youth. to • o-- — THE CI.1NTON NEWS -RECORD, f INTERE Edited By Lebanl.

From personal experience we all know what discomfort it ions -to it aux re•a e. caixs s, end so wee avoid a repitition of the experience. .Head colds are more than a nuts, ance; they are serious for certain reasons. They are the greatest single cause of absence from work and school, cousequently, more than any other one form of illness, they are responsible for lost time, which implies lost wages and lack of pro- gress at school. What appears to be an ordinary cold in the head may be the begin- ning of scone serious illness, such as pneumonia. Just because so many colds do not lead to any more ser- ious condition, we are apt to .think that they are of but little impor- tance. However, because we have been fortunate in the past is no rea- son for us to count on escaping ser- ious results in the future. It is' a good and sensible idea to do our best to escape colds. The first step in the prevention of colds is the maintenance of health. We should eat the right kind of food and sleep . with our 'bedroom windows sufficiently open to keep the room cool and the air in gentle motion. Adults require about eight hours sleep, and children need more sleep than adults. The body is to be kept clean by regular bathing; the bath finished with cold water and followed by a brisk rub with a rough towel. A regular bowel movement is to be se- We sometimes hear of the heed-, lessness of youth. But I often think that there is no earnestness like that of youth. The young heart is easily touched and none are so ready to throw themselves into a forlorn cause as the young. Youth needs guidance and training but we should have a care how wa throw cold water on the firy impulses of youth. It is aurs`to control the fire, but we take a great responsibility if by our wet blankets we succeed in extin- guishing it. REBEKAH toilet habit, proper food, and exer- cise';It is necessary to exercise the big muscles of the body in winter just as much as in summer. The feet must be kept dry; if the they shoes and stockings get h wet y should be changed for dry ones after the feet have been given a good rub with a rough towel. We should dress according to the thermometer, not the season of the year. Too much clothing causes perspiration which may lead to chilling, and should therefore be avoided. Outdoor cloth- ing should not be worn indoors. This is a 'bad habit of many women, caus- ing them to perspire and later to be chilled when they go out of door's. People who have colds should be avoided •because colds are spread from one person to another. The hands are to be washed before meals and before food is touched because they become soiled, are apt to have picked up germs of disease and so should not touch which goes into the mouth. A person who suffers from repeat- ed head colds should have his nose and throat examined. Abnormal conditions in the nose and throat may be responsible for the recur- rence of colds and should be correct, ed. The common head cold is a menace because of the discomfort which it causes and the serious results to which it may lead. USEFUL HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS Preparing chickens for eating has creole sauce made as follows: Take always been considered somewhat of a problem, but if the proper method is employed it is very simple, and quickly accomplished. Cut off the bend, feet and tips of the 'wings at the first joint. Cut through the shin at the back and by pulling gently li the skin can easily be slipped off over the legs, wings and entire body. Only two or three minutes is required for this, and when pulling the feath- ers from young tender chickens much of the skin usually comes anyway. When young and tender they cook in a very short. time. A favorite way of cooking chickens is as follows: Separate them into pieces, 'volt each piece in flour and brown nicely in butter or dripping. Then place the pieces in a saucepan with two or three onions sliced and cover with water; simmer until tender. With the fat remaining in the pan make a brown gravy, pour this over the chickens while cooking. If liquid is still too thin thicken with a little flour just before taking from the fire Add seasoning to taste when juice from canned or cooked ripe to- matoes and cook slowly for tan minutes. Strain again and add one tablespoon onion juice, 'one tablespoon vinegar, one teaspoon salt, paprika to taste and one-half teaspocm sugar. Allow to come to boiling point, and then add one tablespoon butter mix- ed with one tablespoon flour. Stir thoroughly and serve.

Unpleasant topics should never be brought to the "table —contorverslal matters should be excluded front the conversation at this time. Only those things cal- culated to produce a pleasant reac- tion should be encouraged for dis- cussion at meal -time, Breakfast, in my opinion, should be an important meal. At this time your stomach has had the longest rest that it gets in the twentyfour 'tours, and is empty. It should, therefore, be in the best condition for the reception of a substantial meal. It is also important that your rising hour should be so adjusted that am- ple time is provided to make this meal a leisurely one. If at any meal -time you are over- tired, an attempt should be made to get ten or, better, fifteen minutes rest lying down before eating. Dm,Mr Stone was supplied with a set o records by Mr. E. A.

Specialiming in this form of broadcasting, Mr. Stono by theaptness of his descrips tions and remarks has become pos- siby one of the most popular person- alities "on the air" in the British Isles. In discussing the broadcast- ing of records with Mr. Frank Eng- land, Canadian National Railwaye Rad Mr. ' nese ntative in London, ndon M. Radio Representative Stone said he had often wishedthat he possessed a selection of typically Canadian records and especially some French-Canadian folk -songs. The result of this conversation was that eventually the youth of all commun- ities will be under constructive lead- ereship. allowed to occupy itself with thoughts of past pleasant happenings. If it is impossible to take this suggested rest, it would be better to eat very sparingly. While I do not believe it a good plan to emphasize the mechanics of eating, still, I think, we should al, cultivate the practice of chewing our the Canadian National Railways that food thoroughly, By so doing, when they were able to hear this interest- ing and rollicking example of French this food is swallowed it has already Canadian folia -songs. undergone the first stages ofdiges- tion. This, too, will lessen the desire for drinking large quantities of fluid with the ureal, which is objection- able. While there is perhaps no obi jection to a small quantity of cold water at the beginning of the meal, I am not alone in the belief that drink, ing a tumbler -full of ice -water at this moment is a harmful practice, because it chills the stomach, les- sens the 'blood supply and unneces- sarily dilutes the gastric: juice.
