AFTERNOON IN FEBRUARY
The day is ending,
The night is descending;
The marsh is frozen,
The river dead
Through clouds like ashes
The red stun flashes
Our village windows
That glimmer red.
The snow recommences;
The buried fences
Mark no longer
The road o'er the plain;
While through -the meadows
Like fearful shadows,
Slowly passes
A funeral train.
The bell is pealing,
And every feeling
Within ire responds
To the dismal knell;
Shadows are trailing,
My heart is bewailing
And tolling within
Like a funeral bell

HEALTH TOPICS
ACID STOMACH A MYTH
Acid stomach is ,largely a myth
and calls for rearrangement of living
habits rather than the use of alkaline
preparations, aeording to Prof. Chest-
er M. •Jones.. of • Harvard Medical
Sohool.
"Hyperacidity," he said in a lec
ture, "usually is only a supposed
chemical disorder of the stomach,"
and taking. medicine is not the way
to attack the • fundamental cause,
which is "usually one of iniiproper
dietary or living habits."
A NATIONAL OBJECTIVE
"Education is -the most potent
weapon in the campaign of preven-
tion of ill health arising from faulty
or defective diet and nutrition."
Pointing this out to a large audience
in Toronto, Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Do-
minion Minister of Health, endorsed
and launched a 'project undertaken by
the Health League of Canada to ad-
vise women on the right foods to use.
Practical demonstrations in cooking
are to be given in a number of city
schools. The. syllabus for the course
of instruction has been. scientifically
developed and when- the success of
the project is known, it is intended
to outline the technique adopted, for
the benefit of any part of Canada
desirous of undertaking similar work.
The field of nutrition, said the
Minister of Health, was above all the
one in which Canadians, as individuals
could learn the most with the great-
est benefits to themselves.

PLAYER PIANO FOR QUEEN
Signaler Cecil G. Wood, of King-
ston, Ont., cannot play a note of
music on any instrument, but he
turned in a successful "command per-
formance" at the piano for the Queen.
The young member of the Can-
adian Active -Service Force was
pumping away merrily at a player
piano in one of the Beaver Club's
recreation rooms during Her Maj-
esty's informal visit when the royal
party walked in ou Cecil and his at-
tentive audience.
There was an immediate silence
until the smiling Queen walked over
to the piano and said to the blushing
youth, "Please go on and play."
After listening for a while, Her ,
Majesty asked, "What are you play -

LASTING MARRIAGES
Several couples of this district have
celebrated their 50th wedding anniver-
saries lately and same have been duly
chronicled in the columns of the pap-
er, says the Lindsay Post. They re-
ceived and rightly so, more space
than the latest Hollywood divorces.
It seems strange that so many of
the people of this country can marry
one person, live with this person often
for 50 or more years and apparently
enjoy a happy existence, while in
many instances, where more of this

piness cannot be found.

ELECTIONS
Election days are here again
With all their wealth of talk;
We hearken, but 'tis all in vain—
All that we hear is knock.
When will our cancliclates begin
To leave the ether chap alone;;'
Constructive talk will bring votes in
Where honesty and truth are shown.
The seen we want to head our nation
Are mets: with hearts on fire;
No natter what their class or station,
To weld a true empire.
We react that Nero played a tune
While Ronne went up in smoke;
And you or I may do that soon
If we don't see the joke.
For isn't it a funny thing,
The sins I see in others
Around about myself do cling—
By jovel we all are brothers.
So let us vote for men whe think
Of nation's need and meet it,
When God will be the welding, link
No force ' can ere defeat it.

WOMEN NEEDED
IN PARLIAMENT
Candidate fcr •Federal Election Says
It Would Add Dignity Po
The Huuse
Refinement and dignity would be
increased on Parliament Hill if there
were more women members of parlia-
ment, in the opinion of Dr. T. H.
Leggett, Conservative candidate for
West Ottawa.
Speaking to a gathering of women,
Dr. Leggett said, "I believe there
would be a much mare refined atmos-
phere in the legislative hats and
much more digifiecl proceedings en
the floor of the house, if there were
more women in Parliament.
"The work would be done more ef-
ficiently and with more effect," he
continued. "I doubt if some of .the
members would dare make the
speeches they do if they had more
women political colleagues."
Men- are mainly interested in the
bulk of the family budget but wom-
en's interest is with the details, he
said. "We need the penetrating eye
and the "humane understanding of

tape, patronage, fear of dismissal or

. eminent."
wish, free to think and do as we
have. been accustomed.
For this freedom, which ninny of
them ntay not live to enjoy, they
are snaking courageous sacrifices.
Voluntarily and with no thought of
personal gain, they have given up
their home life, jobs and social
pleasures. And they know the grim
duty that lies ahead, the inevitable
thinning of their riunks.
How can we, who remain at home
to iceep the wheels of industry re-
volving, make our contribution -
-small though the largest may be in
comparison—to the cause for which
our men are fighting? The answer
is simple: The accumulative effect of
our nickles and dimes can have a
tremendous bearing on. the welfare
and esprit -de -corps of those who have
marched away, can ensure that when
they return they will fit into- life as
useful, self-sustaining citizens and
not, as was the case of their older
comrades of twenty years ago, men
thrown back into a society v/hich,was
new and strange to them.
Our nielcles and dimes as contribut-
ed to the various appeals can provide
them with the kind of entertainment
and diversion that will keep; up. their
morale and fighting spirit, without
which defeat would be inevitable and
the millions of dollars that are be-
ing ,spent on munitions and armam-
ents would be wasted. No wars have
been won by men who lacked morals.
It is gratifying to learn that the
B.B.C. has been reminded that Scot-
land is on the map and that England
alone is not Britain. The following
verse speaks for itself:
There will always be an England
As long as Scotland stands,
For it's clue to clear old Scotland
That England's wealth expands.
Our friendly neighbour England
We always will defend,
We'll help her fight her battles,
Her broken ships we'll trend,
And when the war is over,
And victory has been won,
We'll sing of England's glory
And the wonders she has done.
CANADIANS LIKE CELERY
The consumption of celery in Can-
ada is apparently increasing. Com-
mercial production, confined largely
to Ontario with smatter acreages in
Quebec and British Columbia, has
maintained a steady increase; in re-
cent years and averages about 25
thousand tons. Imports, originating
largely in California' ,and Florida,
have also increased from, six thous-
and tons in 1924, to 11,000 tons itt
1938. -

TAKE UNUSUAL PICTURES •
Can you, identify this subject? The answer Is below—with other ideas for
novel and amusing pictures you can take.
WHEN you run out of ideas for the
Wv usual type of pictures—try
your hand at unusual pictures.ILook
out for novel angle shots, and oppor-
tunities for "puzzle pictures." This is
fun—and such shots 'will add nov-
elty to your snapshot album.
There are all sorts of unusual
things worth trying. For example,
odd lighting effects when you are
taking night •snapshots. Instead of
having your photo bulbs at eye
level, put them on the floor for a few
shots,—so that they shine up toward.
your subjects, and cast, long shad-
ows on the wall. It's a stunt that
' yields surprising effects. -
Try shots at unusual angles, Take
a Octave froman upstairs' window,
with a subject directly below you
looking straight upward. Try a steep
up -angle shot ;of u tall building.
Shoot straight down a,stalrway,Well.
The picture aboveia a shot of a deep
clreelar etalrcase, taken with the
camera pointed almost siealght
down. You'll agree it makes a novel
effect.
For another stunt, try (tricks with
perspective.' Take a shot of a subject
sitting down, with his foot extended
toward the camera. df the feet are
fairly close to . the lens, they will
show up absurdly large in the pic-
ture. For shots such as this, use the
smallest lens opening on your cam-
era, as you need extra "depth of
field." It won't matter if the nearest
objects are slightly out of focus, but
they shouldn't .be too "fuzzy."
Try some double -exposure tricks.
For example, a close-up shot of a
newspaper page—and then a ciose-
up of a person on the same film. Hee
a 'd'ark background for the shot of
the person. You can produce some,
nnusual ."combination" effects lit

Try all these stunts-- and keep
your eyes open for other novel pic-
ture chances. Th'er.'ll` gide added
