British pluck, .And the man who sticks to busi- ness piling ammunition up. There's a roan who fights for Eng- land, he'll never fire a shot, By his calmness and leis courage, he will help the war a lot, He refuses to .be panic'd, goes about his work instead, You will tell him by his whistle, as the than who kept his head. For a foe most dreads a nation where the wheels of commerce turn, Where the men at home work calmly in spite of all that they will 'learn, •Where behind the men in khaki, are the shells and loaves of bread, For the man who stuck to business and refused to lose his head. Mollie Midler. ASLEEP AMONG HIS TOYS 1 found my babe asleep, among his toys, A. quarter-hour I'm missed his jocund noise And wondered what so quieted the lad, Saying, "He's never still unless he's bad." But when I tiptoed in — Love's stealthy spy — 'A touching picture met my doting eye; One hand lay on the engine of his train, The other grasped a tiny aeroplane. 'C7pon his face a world -old look of care— Mankind in miniature lay dreaming there! DON'T ENVY OTHER FOLKS Don't ,think when you have troubles That your neighbor goes scot-free Because he thews a smiling front And battles cheerfully. No, man. He too, has troubles, but herein the difference lies, While you go idliy moping round The other fellow tries. Don't envy other people; Maybe if the truth you knew, You'r find their burdens heavier far Than is the case with you. Because a fellow,rain,•or shine, Can show a smiling' face, Don't think you'd have an easier time If you could take his place. 'Tis hope and cheery courage That incite one to retrieve One's past mistakes, to start afresh, To dare' and to achieve So smile, and if perchance you light The spark of hope anew In some poor sad and burdened heart, All honor be to you. —Anonymous. I lifted him and hugged hitn to my breast, .Ifissed hint and laidhim slowly down to rest 'Upon a couch. The weary limbs relaxed; The puckered brow, with wondering overtaxed, .Released its troubled frown; and with a sigh Of deep relief he sdlumbered on, while I With murmured words of choking tenderness, Smoothed his warm_ cheek, his hands, his wrinkled dress— Did all the things we love -mad par- ents do— Old, old caresses that' are ever new. Some day the great, kind Father .of us all, -Noting we make no answer call, Tiptoeing in where we've been at play Through all the hdnrs of our allotted day, Mill find us 'mid our playthings, fast asleep, Our toys about us in a tumbled heap, Bach weary hand upon a - trinket laid— • Bome phantom hope born in the marts of trade, 'Thera, in His arms, the care of out hearts possessed Wilt yield their place to sweet and dreamful rest: to His SUNBURN Gambling Gave Us Sandwiches The Earl of Sandwich has been credited fpr over a century, with one of the . mostsatisfactory inventions in human history. It is said that when he was too busy to leave the. gambling table for regular meals, he used to call for a slab of meat be- tween two slices of bread, and -thus' the sandwich got its name. From- its, first primitive form, the sandwich has been getting more and more civilized. It now is found in all shapes and sizes, in various color, schemes and a wide variety of flav- orsome fillings. ' From the dainty one bite type to the hearty kind com- prising two whole ,sliees of bread (with crusts) and plenty of filling, sandwiches play an important role in. our diets. "Good Morning," said Dr. Mac- kenzie to the waiting young interne in the rotunda of the hospital as he entered at 8 a.tn. that Monday morn- ing. "Anything new?" It was a legend to the hospital that its clocks were set by the movements of the red-headed doctor, The interne, in- telligent -looking, answered: "Yes five or six; bad case of sunburn; a blonde mannequin of a well known department stone spent Sunday with her sweetheart splashin' round WEts- ago Beach. Got a proper scorchin'; came inhere hysterical at four this morning." "What did you do for her"? ,enquired the doctor as they moved towards the elevator. "Gave her a hypo", replied the interne, "Six please," he said to the attendant, and sprayed her with 2 per cent tannic. She's easier now." There is a present day craze on the part of young men and women to acquire a rapid tan. Because of this a mid -summer holiday may be spoiled the first day. A healthy tan may be secured and a painful sun- burn escaped by making the first sunbaths brief. It takes about 16 days safely and properly to' tan the body of a child. MYSTERY SANDWICHES 3 hard -cooked eggs 1/5 pound Canadian cheese 1 small onion 1 pimento 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon paprika Contents of 1 tin of Canadian sardines Put all the ingredients though the meat grinder, using the finest cut- ter. Mix thoroughly, adding the sea- sonings. ' If not moist enough, add oil until of a creamy consistency, just right to spread. Let the mixture stand several hours before using, to blend the flavours more perfectly. ROYAL SANDWICH SPREAD 2 tablespoons butter Ye can thick tomato soup 1/4 pound mild Canadian cheese, grated Heat until all are blended, stirring. •Remove from the heat and add 1 egg and beat until well blended. Return to the stove and cook until thick and smooth, stirring. Remove and add 1 cup of flaked canned salmon, remov- ing the skin, but using the oil, and 3 tablespoons of chopped stuffed olives. This snakes about lis cups of the spread. As the tomato gives colour, any variety of canned salmon may be used in making the spread, not necessarily red salmon. SARDINE SANDWICHES Place a small sardine on thin, but buttered bread, roll. Coat with grat- ed Canadian cheese, and toast in oven or on toaster. Taken in proper doses a sunburn has a most beneficial effect on one's body. The ultra -violet raysof the run activate the ergosterol in the skin and produce Vitamin D. This vitamin has the specific action of retaining calcium and phosphorus in the body and of the building of bone. Sunlight is of the most value in the early parts of the day, from dawn to mid- day during June and July. The noonday sun should be avoid- ed and the first exposures should be to the limbs, changing the posture every 15 minutes. During the bath itself •beginners should alternate be- tween shade and sunshine. The head should be protected, Application of a vegetable oil before sunbathing is useful; the oil reflects the sunlight from the skin. The brown -skinned tolerate the sun best and the fair- haired and redheaded worst of all. The effect of tan is to increase the pigment in the skin. The pigment absorbs the short waves of the sun. TREATMENT:. The application of a saturated solution of the homely Epsom salts is one of the most ef- fective methods of relieving the pain of a sunburn. Baking soda and water, vaseline, carbonized vaseline or salt and vinegar give similar relief. In. treatment the spraying of the parts with 2 per cent tannic acid is very FORGETFULNESS By "PEG" Oh, the tragedy which lies beneath the two words "I forget"! What more pathetic sight is there than to see a man'in the prisoners box of 'a law court answering to a charge of criminal neglect following an ac :eident ill which perhapsmany lives have been lost. His reply to the question of the judge as to the cause of the accident, very 'often given be- tween sobs was "I forgot." On many occasions our heart goes out to the. prisoner. Why? Simply- because we know how easy it is to forget. This is a habit which we have allowed to. grow on us, and it is one of the. worst. When we continue this habit it really becomes a very pitiful con- dition. "I forgot." Let us just analize those words. To forget is an individ- ual thing. If we forget we cannot blame any one else for it. Someone else may go crippled through life because we forgot and left something in their way which they stumbled over. How often people have been disap- pointed because we 'forgot to keep. an appointment not realizing that their time is just as precious as ours. It is a fearsome thing to allow ourselves to become forgetful. One "forget" unless checked is followed by another until there is some serious result. A mother sends a child on an er- rand. She waits and waits for his. return. Meal time and hunger brings him home. In reply to the question, "Why did you not go where I sent you?, the little one with a pathetic face looks up and says "Mummy, I forgot" Right there should begin a training which will mean a lifetime of good for that child. Loving remonstrance will save him or her many hours of worry and humility. After all a person who- is continually forgetting is not popular. In society they cause a great deal of inconven- ience and in business they are irres- ponsible. A constant "forgetter" is someone who is spoken of as having a mind which can only carry one thought and that thought is usually something which they should not be thinking about at all at that time. There are none of us who can say, "I never forget anything" for we are all to a certain, extent "forget JELLY \VIT DS TEARS aSAyR;u "fvfi roJ;µar By: Kathari Perfect jams and jellies are a tra- dition in some households. Grand- mother handed down her recipes to mother and now daughter feels hon- our bound to live up to the tradition. But where grandmother, and perhaps mother too, did it the hard way, the modern woman .can achieve tradition- al perfection in jam and jelly making without the labour that used to be involved. Before modern. . short -boil methods were developed, long hours over a hot stove were necessary to concentrate the under ripe fruit to make it jell. Then of course, there was always the danger that the whole batch of fruit and sugar would be wasted since there was no guarantee that the work would produce the de- sired results. Housekeepers of to- day have things pretty easy all around. They can use fully ripe fruit When it is cheapest and at its. flavour height.

Parents can help their children very much along this line. If we:: have allowed this to grow on us we will have to worry hard to get rid of it, but with God's. help we will eventually come out victors. Have you ever boarded in a home and sat at the same table with some- one who has lived or vacationed in a foreign land. At first their talk was interesting and instructive but later on yotl had the wish that that land had never risers' above the water. Why? Because the person seems to have forgotten that they have told the same thing time after time. They have forgotten that when a person sits down to a meal they usually like to rest. We should remember that others are not as much interest- ed in our line of talk as we think they are. We should acquire the habit of not talking too much, So often we forget the things. which are not essential in life. Kind- ness to others is very often forgot- ten with the result that they are poorer an so are we. Then there is the most terrible "forget" of all. We forget God and we allow it to become a habit. There is na tragedy in life worse than that. We try to snake ourselves think that we are remembering Him, but we negeet our prayers; we take no int- erest whatever in the church; -we stay away from Sunday services and absent ourselves from Prayer meet- ing. In fact we are just making a mockery of Jesus. and His work. If we did that with all Earthly friend would we consider that we were re- membering that one? More than that as holiday time is coming many of our churches are do- ing away with one Sunday service and the Prayer •meeting, which is the main stay' of the cluirch. How dare we close the House.of God at any time, let alone a time like this. A minister recently speaking to the few tho attended the Prayer meeting of a large church said, "If you wish to carry on the Prayer meeting during the summer months we can appoint some one to look after it. It was filially agreed to close the Prayer meeting. It had previously been de- cided to -dispense with the Sunday evening service. What interest have we in God and His work if we refuse to do His bidding. Do you wonder that the world is in the state it is in when such things go on in what is supposed to be a Christian country. We say that in order that victory may be ours in this great Battle of Britain the world must get down on her knees and "get back to God". Can we believe that the church of- ficials would allow the church of God to cease her work for one instant and yet that is being done in many cases right now. The churches are not getting down on their knees. If you have'planned such things as this for the summer either change your plans, keep the church open; or take the sign down in front of your church. This is something which must be given our very serious con- sideration. There is no reason why the church attendance should not be as large in the summer as it is in the winter. If there are only a few in attendanFe et church or Prayer meeting let us be one of the few. We can use our influence and prayer to bring other's. It - is almost unbe- lieveable to think that church of- ficials would not be afraid to close 'the doors of God's House especially at this time. We lava forgotten God. Let ns remember that God can and will forget us if we disregard His com- mandment"Remember the Sabbath Day. to keep it holy." We are not keeping it holy by absenting our- selves from His House. Think it over, change our plans, then and not till then can we feel that we have a right to ask God to. give us the vic- tory -in. the Battle of Britain. "Drop the still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The b6auty of thy peace."

Her husband could never find com- fort at home, For fear he would muss up the place Where his wife with a broom and a duster would roam With a' stern sort of look on her face. She never had time to be reading a book, Or sweeping the stairs in the hall. Instead she was scrubbing some cor- ner or nook, She never had time for a call, She swept all her beauty and glad.. nese away. Site swept all the joy out of life, Until site became an automaton grey A cleaning machine not a wife. She scrubbed all the love from the heart of her spouse, Her children were playless and glum, She had her reward—an immaculate house, Where nobody ever would come. She swept and she dusted and scrub- bed like a slave, Till she swept herself into the tomb, And the monument now at the head of her grave Is a duster, a brush, and a broom. cikeSNAPSNOT GUILD SHOOTING REAL ACTIOiN From this angle, motion is rapid and shutter speed must be high—but a slower shutter speed can be used if you shoot from a greater distance with the subject moving almost directly toward you. THERE's a tremendous thrill in taking pictures of genuine fast action—racing automobiles, motor- cycles, speedboats, horses, athletic events and sports. Indeed, many enthusiastic amateurs find that this is the most zestful aspect of their camera hobby. To picture real action, you need a camera with a speedy shutter, and a correspondingly fast lens. With modern high speed films, the fast lens is not as necessary as It used to be—but a fast shutter, with speeds of 1/300, 1/400, or 1/500 sec- ond, will always be a necessity if you specialize in this type of pic- ture taking. On the other hand, if you just take action shots now and then, .and don't have a camera with an extremely high-speed shutter, there are certain tricks you can use and these will often help you get sharp action pictures, even though you are handicapped by a slot'' shutter. For example, look atthe picture above. The action is almost "broad-. side" to the camera, or at a right angle to it. Naturally, from this angle, the motion is greatest, and a shutter speed of at least 1/500 sec- ond is needed. But if you stood quite near the track, farther up, so that the horse was coming al- most directly toward you, the mo- tion would appear less rapid. From that angle, a shutter speed of 1/200 would yield a reasonably sharp pic- ture, if you caught the horse at the peak of the jump. Remember that rule: when the action is coming toward you, mo- tion is less, and a slower shutter will serve. By proper choice of posi- tion, therefore, you can overcome your handicap in many cases, and improve your percentage of suc- cessful pictures. Here is another hint. In many games and sports, there are momen- tary omnentary pauses. A player will halt to turn—yet still retain a good action pose for a split second. In these pauses, if you're alert, you can cap- ture many a fine action shot. So even if you have a slow cam- era, don't be discouraged. A model with fast shutter is best, but that will come in time ... and mean- while, if you're alert' and seize your opportunities, you can garner plen- ty of worth -while action pictures. 283 John van Guilder ,
