Acknowledge their right To whisper: half the night And all the day to talk, Above a shaded walk. I like a reverent town That hews.no tree trunk down, But lets it stand 'to know, Sidewalks around can go, As if: "I coinprphend. You were here first my friend." -Charles Divine in the Commonweal, From time 'to time one hears or reads comments, not - always compli- mentry, on women's dress nowadays but they are falling off a bit, Short skirts have ceased to he front page' news, .and there are indications that the lords of creation are beginning to envy women their newly -won freedom from the slavery of clothes. They, 'poor creatures, still go a'bout in their heavy garments even in the hottest. 'weather, or' when they do shed some. of them know themselves to be at the .disadvantage of looking half-dressed:. In Ehgland there is a movement on foot to, reform mens' attire, a movement which has the support of such a solid citizen as Dean Inge, so. something maybe done about it. Certainly there is room for improve- ment. How men can endure the heavy clothing they do when the weather is hot is a mystery to most women. ' Those Englishmen are pro- = posing all sorts of queer changes and I'believe if they would enlist the sympathy and assistance of a few. `women of good judgment they night achieve the end they have in view much sooner. Women have a flair -for clothes which men do not seem to possess. Of course cloth manu- facturers and tailors will not favor any change in men's: attire, as it would upset business to some extent, but that does not seem to be a good enough reason why the poor dears •should.. go on sweltering, if they can succeed in overcoming their dread of change sufficiently to really adopt something more comfortable and less burdening.• I am sure I wish them success with all my heart. In the meantime women do not show much inclination to go back to .a burden of clothing. They rejoice in the convenience of being -able to •slip into two or three garments and find themselves fully dressed, so are not likely to ever return .to wearing three times as many and not looping ! half so attractive. For there are -very few people who will not admit,. if they are really honest, that wo- men's dress was never more attrac- tive ttracttive than it is today. sheer some, go without hose at all But the great majority' of women are ;Hess. We used .to be shocked if we saw six inches of ankle. Not because the ankle was uncotriely, but because the sight was unusual; , W'e , 'are now shocked when we see the knees.,tut our reaction 'to knees is not the same as that to ankles. ;Principally, I be- lieve, 'because the showing of the ankle is an improvement to the ap- pearance of the woman, the sheaving of the knee isnot There is some- thing unquestionably lovely and ap- pealing about the knees of a plump babe; but When the.babe grows to manhood or womanhood that useful joint looks better to be clothed. The skirt just covering .the knee for 'a young, slim girl and a few inches below. for a ,more mature wornan seems to be to the ordinary person. the most artistic, and thate is what women are trying to achieve, isn't it? But, while women have far - out- stripped' men, (please do not imagine. I'm using that word with any double meaning) in the adgption•of sensible clothing, there is one thing in which men excel. That is in the wearing of sensible shoes. They wear shoes made to conform to the shape of the foot, with solid soles to protect, the sole of the foot, low, flat heelswhich give support to the body, and large enough in size to allow••the toes free action when they. walk. A .woman wearing cool, loose and comfortable clothing, from neck to foot, but perch- ed upon a four inch spike set about the middle of the sole of a thin slip- per, with only her: toes touching the ground, looks very foolish. Until wo- men learn to wear more sensible shoes they cannot • find much fault with anything men elect to wear. But the majority . of us wish 'the men every success in their war a- gainst the slavery of dress and trust they will be able to find a solution of their problem which will also be both comfortable and artistic. Every now and then we hear some- thing about an agitation to have merchants close their places of busi- ness earlier Saturday nights but nothing seems to come of it. And any Saturday night in the towns about you will find Clerks rushing about filling orders between ten and twelve o'clock although they may not have been very busy all day, and perhaps not all evening up to nine o'clock. Naturally the rnerchant wishes to e11 his goods. His capital is tied up thein -and his ability to succeed in siness, to support his family, de - ends upon turning them over. So he ill want to keep open as long as steer(' 'come in. But I have often ought that the customers might be bit more thoughtful of store assis- ants. They have been on duty' all ay and are tired when ten. o'clock mes, but they crust be polite to cus- mers who come late and do their est to please them, There may bo all sorts of reasons ler some people cannot do their s in bu Of coarse there are a few whow go to extremes, When trains. were cu worn there .were always a few who th wore .longer trains than the major- a ity; when hair was worn piled high ta 'the head there were those who d built it up up until they looked top co 'heavy. So now, '. when skirts are to worn short, there are some who like b to have them •a few inches shorter than the majority; when hose are wl ie��uEa the 4[l4ci//enyer has the right -' to dare A e.v Variety oar Color Come see the beauty and variety which Essex offers at no extra cost.

Ventilate every room you oc- .cupy. • / 2. Wear light, loose; 'and porous clothes, 3. Seek out-of-door occupations. and recreations. 4. Sleep out-of-doors if you can. 5. Avoid overeating•, and over- weight, 6. Avoid excess of 'high protein foods, sueh as meat, flesh foods, eggs,. also excess of salt and highly -season. ed foods. • 7. Eat some hard, some bulky some raw foods daily. - 3. Eat slowly. and taste your food,. 9." Use ,sufficient water internally and externally. 10. Securethorough intestinal 'el imination daily. 11. Stand, sit and walk erect. 12. Do not allow poisonsand in- fections to enter the body. 13. Keep the teeth, gums and ton- gue clean. 14. Work, play, rest, and sleep in moderation 15. Breathe' deeply; take deep ;breathing exercises several times a day. 16,' Keep serene and wholeheart- ed. The canning season is here and the Dominion Department of Agriculture publishes this seasonable advice; which will be especially useful _to the young housewife: - "Ib is often a good thing to point out what a person should not do, and in canning this seems particularly true., The reason is that a great many housewives know something about the subject, but do not, per- haps, realize the necessity for thor- oughness and extreme care. • DON'T fail to test jars with new rubbers before sterilizing. DON'T try, at first, to can veget- ables in any larger jars than a quart. The smaller the jar the easier it is to sterilize. 'DON'T use old rubbers. It is cheaper to huy new rubbers than to Iose your vegetables. DON'T try to use a wide rubber on a screw-top jar. The wide rubber fits the spring -top jar and the narrow rubbers the screw-top. DON'T shorten the time of steril- ization. DON'T fail to seal jars tightly. See that the spring is adjustedto give good pressure on spring -top jars, and that the screw-top does not .slip on gem jars. DON'T let the heat down so that the water fails to boil. Keep it jumping. . DON'T use a doubtful sealing jar for vegetables. Put some` easy -keep- ing product, such as pickles, jams or jellies in chipped or uneven jars. DON'T use a dirty dish cloth to wipe off the top of the jar. It may undo all your work. The Federal Department of Agri- culture can supply literature on the subject of canning. It will be mailed on application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa."

Convention The thirty-second Annual Coni vention ' of the Huron Women's Christian .Temperance Union met ..in the United Church, Hensall on Tues- day, July 9th with three sessions, The President, Mrs. A. T. Cooper, presiding. The devotional exercis- es were ; taken by the Exeter Union, The ,departments of work : taken up by the County Women's Christian •Temperance Union are the following: Evangelistic, Anti -Narcotics, Cana- dian Marine, Citizenship, Flowers Fruits and Delicacy, Law Enforce- enents and Legislation, Medal Con test, Scientific Temperance, Moral Education and ' Mother's Meeting,_ Press, Temperance in Sunday School',, Travellers' Aid, Railway Employees, Little White Ribboners, Peace and Arbitration, Each of these depart- ments is in charge of a Superintend eat, whose duty it was to give her report at the Convention. The most important worlc carried on, was the Educational Campaign through the Northern Messenger by tho National W,C.T.U, Next year At the evening session 'Rev. Sin- clair minister of convention church acted as chairman, he remarked that ifmen were as faithful as women we wouldhave prohibition in Canada. A very fine program was, render- ed every one doing - exceptionally well. MissK. Sells gave two piano selections, Miss Greta Laramie a se- lection on the violin; Miss Sylvia Salkeld a reading, Mas. Hess and Mrs. Heddee a duet, Miss Maxine Wilson a solo and Master Harold Wilson a solo. Miss Duff gave a very inspiring address. The Hensall Union provided din- ner and supper for the visiting dele- gates. The Resolutions were brought in by the resolution committee and adopted by the Convention. Resolutions (1) Whereas, we deplore the in- creasing tendency in the use of to- baeco, especially the cigarette among our young men and young women and even our children, be it resolv- ed that we urge our people to see that the law is enforced both in the sale and purchase of tobacco in its relation to minors -and seek by the influence of literature and pledge - signing to instruct and fortify our youth. (2) Whereas, we realize the ne- cessity of the immediate preparation, of our women voters we would re- quest not only every member of the W'.C.T.U. but every Canadian wo- man to be very thonough and prompt in the carrying out of the pledge - signing campaign known as the "Mirror Pledger' (3) Whereas, we appreciate the wonderful results which were deriv- ed from the recent Educational Cam- paign conducted by the National W. C.T.U. supported ably- by the John Dougal Publishing House and where- as we are gratified that another campaign on a larger scale is to be launched in the fall. ofthisyear, be it resolved, that this 'Convention• pledge its supoprt not only in hearty co-operation but in liberal financial aid.. (4) Whereas, we are conscious of the great lack of `Temperance Organ- izations, amongst our young women and children, we would asic each of the local Unions to consider serious- ly the forming; of Young Women's Christian Temperance Unions and Loyal Temperance Legions. (5) Whereas, we have 'once, more received inspiration from the pres- ence of Miss Duff in our convention and listened -with interest and profit to her addresses we would place on record our sincere appreciation of her influence for prohibition throughout the- lengthand breadth of our Dominion and would convey to her our best wishes and our co- operation with her through prayer.. (6). Whereas, we have enjoyed the hospitality of the Hensall Union and the comfort of this beautiful church and also, .the program of music and elocution we would desire to express our gratitude to all• who', have in anyway contributed to the success of this Convention. . • Puts An End To Bunion Pains No Need to Suffer Another Day 'There is one simple yet inexpen- sive way to reduce inflammation of swollen toe joints and help get thein clown to normal and that is to apply Moore's Emerald Ail night ecnd morning.
