THERE'S HEALTH IN WINTER
VEGETABLES!
Hello Homemakers! • The official
Nutrition Colour Chart shows veg-
tables on nearly every plate of food,
Why? Because •they're health beost-
ers-with vitamins and minerals for
bodyebeilding and repair; with starch
for energy. The green and yellow
vegetables signal health highlight-
ing Vitamin, A and minerals. So let's
prepare our vegetables • properly in
our kitchens sowe can be sure of
keeping those important food values
intact from market to table. They'll
look better and taste better to.
Here are a few simple do's and
dont's in vegetable cookery. Choose
your vegetables fee; freshness and
brightness of colour, then prepare
and cook them right. Much nutri-
tion value lies just under the skin,
so keep your parings thin. Don't pre-
pared your vegetables till the last mo-
ment for either eooking or your sal-
ad. Cook them with the least possible
water 'in a tightly covered saucepan.
Be Sure to use any left over liquid
to enrich soups, stews and sauces.
Vegetable plate meals call for accom-
panying dishes containing cheese,
milk or eggs, and a richer dessert.
And remember to serve some vege-
tables raw, some cooked. Buy in large
quantities -for convenience and econ-
omy -and find a storage corner
where your vegetableswill neither
freeze nor shrivel from heat.

DOUBTING REMIT
Where are the swallows fled?
Frozen and dead
Perchance upon some bleak and
•stormy shore
0 doubting heart!
•.Far over, purple seas
•• They wait, in sunny ease
The balmy southern breeze,
To bring them to their northern
homes once more.
Why must the flowers die?
• Prisonecl they lie
In the cold tomb, heedless of tears or
rain
0 doubting heart!
• They only sleep below
The soft white ermine snow
While winter winds shall blow,
To breathe and mile upon you soon
again.
The sun has hid its rays
These many days
Will dreary hours never leave the
• earth?
0 doubting heart!
The storm clouds on high
Veil 'the same sunny sky
That soon (for. spring is nigh).
Shall wake the summer into golden
mirth.
Fair hope is dead, and light
Is quenched in night.
What sound can break the silence of
despair?
0 doubting heart!
The sky is overcast,
Yet stars shall rise at last,
Brighter for darkness past.
And angels' silver voices stir the air.

OIJR SPECIAL PLACE
Could you havehpieked the task you
have today
It would have been, so different, you
say;
No dull monotony would have caused
you '
To frown upon the work you had to
do
Could you have picked, the life you
4111111•
have to live,
Such sorrow and distress it would
not give;
You'd have it joyous, free from every
care,
With fame's bright baubles gleam-
ing everywhere.
But God, all perfect, has by wise de-
cree
Laid out Our special work for you
and me!
By its fulfilment in our proper place
We'll reach His home and look upon
His face.
-Kathleen A. Sullivan.
IN PRAISE OF POSTMEN
I'd like to say a- word in •praise of
postmen,
Who tramp our steps in every sort
of weather,
In many walks of life, though I like
most men,
I find that I like postmen alto-
gether
In slipperiest weather they are cheer-
ful;
They joke about their burdens
when they're bulky.
Pve never seen the ram make post-
men tearful;
The very densest fog can't turn
them sullcy.
Our services of all descriptions
boast men.
Who whistle at the limit of their
tether. -
I like them all. Yet even more than
most men.
I do like postmen, take 'em alto-
gether,1
HAPPINESS
If a malt is unhappy. this must be
his own fault; for God makes him to

It is a poor heart, and a poorer age
that cannot accept the conditions of
life with some heroic readiness.
feelings it can summon at a tcruch.--1,

TRUTH •'
I liave seldom' known any one who,
deserted truth in trifles, that coeld,
be trusted in matters of intortance.
-Paley.
• LOVE
Love cannot be genuine if it hesi-
tates to sacrifice every selfish gratie
ficetion. to the happiness of ite ob-
ject. -Mrs. W. McLehose.
• FREEDOM
It is impossible to enslave, men-
tally or socially, a Bible reading peo-
ple. The principles of the Bible are
the ground work of human freedom.
-Horace Greeley.
THE GOOD AND THE BAD
God, 'show pity toward the wick-
ed, for on the good Thou hast already
bestowed mercy in having made them
good.--Sadi the Persian.

THE ICE
Her day out from the workhouse
ward she stands.
A gray haired woman, decent and
precise,
With prim black bonnet and neat
Paisley shawl, -
Among the other children by the
stall;
And with grace relish eats a penny
iee.
To wizened toothless gums, with
quaking hands,
She holds it, shivering with delic-
ious cold;
Nor heeds the jeering laughter of
youngmen,
The happiest, in her innocence of all:
For, while their insolent youth must
soon grow old,
She, who's been old, is now a child
again.
-Wilfrid Wilson Gibson.
