AUTUMN ,All through that long October day We roamed the paths on Autumn's magic carpet Of deep piled leaves in russet, brown and; gold.

FIREWORKS AT THE FAIR The dark, tumultuous comet Splitsthe tropic night, And ends its flight In a cascade of stars. Here in the nebulous train, In the glittering after -rain We watch the luminous waters flow. Our eyes are dazzled With bright spirals cut from fire. The silence quivers like a silver wire. The silence breaks Under the rocket's single Mow. Spurning the earth, The giant pin -wheels dip and spin, And die like laughter — pitiful and thin.— Sara Van Alstyne Allen.

Frosts are near; the wind and rain Will harvest the last gold from the October hill. • —Lansing Christman. A LETTER FROM ENGLAND I' opened a letter from England to- night: No word of panic, no mention of fright: "The children have gone on a picnic," she wrote And "I simply can't look at my last summer's coat" She spoke of the hedge at the foot of the lawn, How she works in the garden as even- ing comes on. "The roses are beautiful over the way; "Pd better get supper," she went on to say. O England courageous, the calm and i the 'brave, Our Empire such spirit and coolness will save. it is here in this courage your hist- ory is sung Here where that old cry of freedom is rung; Your life blood niay dwindle — your noble faith never -- The strong heart of Britons will live on forever. 0, Women of England, grim music you face -- Proud swells my heart to be part of your rads! —Kenneth d. McLeod. ISN'T IT QUEER That a man who thinks he 15 n business man— Will anWill get up in the morning from an advertised mattress, Shave with an advertised razor, And put on advertised underwear, And advertised hose, shirt, collar and tie and hoes, Seat himself at the table and eat advertised breakfast food, Drink advertised coffee or Advertised tea, Put on an advertised hat, Light an advertised cigar, Ride to business in an advertised motor car— And then turn down something On the ground that advertising doesn't pay! —Danville Chronicle. SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN When life is in ruins and prayer seems in vain, When fate deals a blow that you can- not annot explain, When things look their worst and no gold gilds the gray, Something will `Happen. God works in this way. «Something will happen. Invisible. hands 1 Move in the silence and do His com- mands.; Thus prayers are answered, though dark is the day. Something will happen if, trusting, you pray. Do not lose faith when the big mom- ents come, Though 'neath the blow you are brok- en and dumb. God intervenes when the last hope has gone, Something will happen. Be brave and hold on. —Patience Strong, in her "Collected Poems." AUTUMN GIFT Upon my door A gentle sound I hear the wind' Along the ground I feel the softness Of the breeze And find a golden Gift of leave8. —Helen McCaughey. LIVE FOR TODAY A young man lives in the future; An old man lives ht the past, For youth, time is moving too slowly, For age, it is moving too fast, A young than dreams of the gladness The years just before him will bring; An old man dreams of his pleasures When life held the magic of spring. But youth and age are in error!, The present alone can convey The joy and the cheer and content- ment We seek as we journey life's way. Today itS the time to be happy! No matter how young or how old, It's always today that must bring us Tho timings our fortunes unfold. —Lawrence Hawthorne. ANNUAL HOME & SCHOOL CLUB li AL?LE A rally of the Home and School Clubs of South Huron was held in Centralia School on Wednesday even- ing, Oct. 23rd, when members from Grand Bend, Shipka, Babylon Line, Winchelsea, Centralia, and Central and Victoria Schools, Goderich, were present. The visitors were welcomed by the Centralia president, Mrs. Penwanden, who conducted the opening exercises, and expressed her pleasure in meet- ing so many who were interested in Home and School work. Mrs. A. Taylor of Goderich was in- vited to take charge of the program. Each club gave a short report of their year's work, telling of interesting speakers, worthwhile activities, and increased interest in the work, The members present from schools in Stephen Township were keenly in- terested in the Health program for the prevention of Diptheria and other contagious diseases, and a resolution was passed that the matter be brought before the Board of Health for their consideration. Owing to distance, and difficulties in transportation, it has been Sound impossible to meet regularly as a County Council, so it was decided to hold an annual rally, when reports of the year's work "will be given, and matters of general interest may be discussed. An invitation was received and accepted to hold the rally next year at Grand Bend. A resolution was unanimously en- dorsed that Mrs. Penwanden, former vice-president of Huron Council of Home and School Clubs, be recom- mended to the Ontario Federation as organizer for Huron County, the for- mer president, Mrs. A. G. Webb, of Shipka, being unable at the present time to accept th'e responsibility. Mrs. Taylor referred to the cam- paign in Oxford and Middlesex Coun- ties for the beautification of rural schools, and suggested that the rural schools represented at the rally might give a Lead to a campaign for Huron County. Community singing, instrumental nunabers,'a reading, and a very fine solo, were contributed by members of various clubs, and the meeting closed with the singing of the Nation- al Anthem. Refreshments were served by the Centralia members, and a,cordial vote w thankswas tendered to them to Miss G. Amos of Grand Bend, on be- half of the visitors. A True Story Of A Pulpit Panel M By "PEG" "2 wonder if I am at last settled for life," said the panel in a pulpit of a large city church. "My life seems so strange to me." • "Many, many years ago, I was just the seed of a black walnut tree, I was a round, rough nut, .encased in an outer. shell, I belonged to the family of the American or English walnut, I was a handsome tree, and was valuable fox furniture." Another seed and I were planted by a young anan in an orchard sur- rounding a log house, on a farm sit- uated in the shadow of the Blue Mountains. Each year we grew' until we were finally large sturdy trees. In the meantime the log house was replaced by a frame house painted whits. In the fall, in our adult years, we bore a large number of walnuts. These were gathered by the four girls and six boys of the Highland Scotch fam- ily who lived in the house. They were stored on the floor of an upper room. We could see them through the window. Gradually they became less and less as the winter progressed. We knew that the outer shell was broken and the fruit eaten or mixed in with cakes, as we could hear the children talking about it. The boys and girls used to play many games under our branches in summer. The kindly father and moth- er from time to time sat in our shade. This was not very often as we were on a farm and we understood every- one was extremely busy. Many tines there was no one near us, but we knew the older girls were helping their mother- in the home, the senior boys were attending to the farm work, while the younger child- ren were going to school, in the early days we could see the grain being sown, then scythed, and drawn into the barn. Later this method of harvesting changed and huge machines worked in the fields. One day we heard the children say, "The threshing machine is coming to- morrow." The following day, a hig engine came chug, chugging up the road and turned in at the gate. Many men came and made their way back near the Darn where they seemed to be working very hard, The women were preening meals. The other trees and I used to have talks on how happy and peaceful everything was unci we were so glad our future was assured. One day we saw a num coining with a sharp -edged tool. He stopped be- side ore and gave ane a whack. Oh, how it hurt! Then he struck me time after time, The pain was so terrible I could not even think. At last there was a big crash! and I went crashing to the ground, Whatever was going to become of me? I was left lying there for several days. The children and the other trees all sympathized with me, but that did sant case the pain and worry I endured. Then two men came with axes and a long flat affair which the children said was a saw. They chopped off all my branches and then cut me in two with the saw. My, it did hurt! The following day a wagon was backed into the orchard. I was load- ed on it and as they drove away I was forced to say "goodbye" to my- nal yral and other comrades who had been my companions for so many years. I just felt it was more than I could endure. We went down the road quite a little way. I heard a buzzing, buzzing sound. I was thrown off the wagon and was left lying on the ground. How lonely I was! Some hours later I was taken in and put through a big machine, where my back was all shaved off and 1 was cut into boards. Then i was loaded on what was called a train and taken to a large building where I was again machined, When I left there some weeks later, I formed panels in what appeared to be a. huge desk. I was taken on a truck to a large city, where I was unloaded in front of a building. Later I was proved an, to the front of a large queer shap- ed robin, and steps were built to the floor at my Ieft. Men were busy fastening seats to the floor in front of me. At my left, to the rear, there were more seats, and a huge instrument; which I understood was an organ. It made strange sounds but when woven together they were pleasant to hear. One evening men and women came hvinsing plants and flowers. I had not had much association with such things since I was in the orchard and was so glad to see them. The next morning I was awakened early and many more people moved about. Men and women, boys and girls came and sat in the seats. More and more came until every seat was Tilled. A. woman nlayer1 the organ and the music was beautiful: I was very much interested in it all. Then I heard singing in the dis- tance. Gradually the sound came closer and closer and from the side door men and women marched in in blade robes, the women with caps and white tabs. When they had all filed in, two fine looking men came, walking together, with black robes and something col- ored, which I afterwards heard wore hoods, hanging down their backs. They seemed familiar to me and as they came closer I recognized them as two of the boys who used to play around me, when they were small. I was soy pleased to see' them and hoped they would stay near me. As if in answer to my wish they came up the steps and stood inside what I called the desk, but which I learned was a pulpit. Froin what I had heard on the farm I knew they were reading the Scripture and praying. Then the older man talked for quite a while. What a joy it was to hear them! There was quite a lot of singing and a great deal of talking after the service was' over. I gathered front what was being said that it was the opening- of a new church. From time to time others of the boys and girls from the farm have stood beside me, have stroked my pol- ished surface, and have said how much more useful I was as part of the pulpit than I was in the tree, and it has indeed been a great pleasure to me to be used in a pulpit from which the word of God is preached. Before I finish my story I would just like to tell the boys and girls that they should always try to do their very best in whatever situation they find themselves, so that they will be better fitted for higher work which may be given them to do." "PEG" )C*SI is A HEALTH SERVIcr OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA PREVENTION OF THROAT INFECTION Thymol,' a substance allied to phenol (carbolic), but with 25 times the antiseptic strength of the latter, is strongly advocated as a gargle and mouth wash in the prevention of raw sore throats and of tartar of the teeth in persons subject to these ail- ments. In every mouth left undisturbed for some hours — for example during sleep — a varying amount of white substance grows on the tongue and other mouth surfaces and accumu- lates around the teeth. This consists of a threadlike plant called Leptoth- rix, in the meshes of which may be numerous germs and cells, This plant, if not removed, will grow rap- idly and form a hard tartar on the teeth which can be removed only by a dentist's sharp instrument. Such removal is necessary otherwise the teeth and guars will suffer. People otherwise meticulously clean in their habits habitually neglect their teeth; the brush, used in a per - functionary rub, is allowed to become filthy and possibly does more ham than good. Many persons are continually troubled with a raw sore throat, ag- grevated in some cases by smoking particularly if cigarettes are used; in these individuals a systematic use of a saturated solution of thymol in water as a mouthwash and gargle, is a most effectual preventive. The solution is prepared as follows: the crystals' of thymol, placed in a muslin bag, are put into a wide- mouthed bottle and cold water added. Soon there will be a saturated solu- tion of the drug. From time to time more cold water is added until all the crystals have disappeared. Than more crystals are added. Thymol is inex- pensive. An ounce, costing no more than a few dents, will make nine gallons of solution. If the solution appears to be too strong, that is if it "bites" the tongue or throat, water may be added. The drug is slowly soluble in cold water. The addition of a little glycerine adds to the solubility. When ready, the solution is used as a gargle and a mouthwash several times a day. Eng- lish clinicians of experience claim that the remedy is very effective : in the prevention of throat colds and tartar -filled mouths. Besides, no other antiseptic is so useful in keep- ing one's toothbrush inn a healthy condition. 'Considering the cheapness and simplicity of this drug, it is worth while trying. cokr Tested Recipes ssesnesisibittestsailaistFateintatsalet APPLES FOR HALLOWE'EN Hallowe'en is here, and once again children are donning fancy costumes, wearing false faces and ringing door. bells in the neighbourhood.

BRITISH CLOTHS Are Bought By One Well Dressed New Yorker In A Year Twenty-five thousand well dressed men all over the United States will soon hear about the war time visit to London of Mr, k'. A. Free, a lead- ing personality in the high class men's wear trade of America. For .18 years Mr. Free has come to London to buy materials and seek ideas for the two famous men's tail- oring_businesses he controls in the States, and which spend 515,000 a year on the highest grades of British cloth. He came this year expecting that the war would have made busi- ness difficult. He found he was wrong. To the 25,000 customers on his mailing list, to whom his firm reports the latest news on clothing matters after each trip he makes to London, 'Mr. Free will be able to an- nounce 'iris year that he has found ample to interest him. "I have found plenty of good cloths still being made, mostly woollens and flannels in which Britain excels," he said, just before returning to Am- erica. "Naturally the textile firms are very busy on Government orders, but the Government is also giving every encouragement to the export trade. I have had a very satisfactory visit and done just as much business as when Britain was at peace. The discriminating American who takes a real interest in, his appearance is very keen on ideas from London." Mr. Free, a good looking and of course immaculately clad New York- er, added that the message he is taking back to people in the United States is that although the situation may be grave at present, every one of the many people with whom he has come in contact is supremely corn fident of the ultimate end of the war.

Almost any object will do, if It's big enough to show up in a picture. 111 4, VE run out of picture ideas,' a friend told me the ether day. "I don't know what to shoot next "Nonsense," I told hire. "There are plenty of ideas, it you use the right method to find them. What you should do is just pick a subject —any old object that might work into a picture—and use that as a starting point." "For example?" he said. "All right," 1 replied, and showed him the picture above. "Suppose you saw that scythe somewhere— say at a farmhouse where you vis- ited. Alone, it wouldn't be a picture. Yet by enlisting the owner's aid, you could get a whole aeries. You could show him -sharpening it, oar- rying-it over his shoulder as he started out to work, using it in the field. A close-up of the blade, shear. ing through grain stalks, might be interesting. You see, it's all a mat- ter of putting two and two to- gether." "I begin to understand," he said. "Pick something that may lead to, a picture—and then build picture ideas around it." "Exactly, and here's another ex- ample," I said. "Your little girl has a doll buggy, but I haven't seen it anywhere in your picture collec- tion. Why not show her using it -- there's a whole series of pictures. Show her placing a doll in the buggy—wheeling it down the front porch steps—along the street or house walk—and so forth. Picture her with a playmate, too, discussing how well the doll looks today. "And here's another idea. I know• .she has a huge teddy -bear. All right—pose the teddy -bear as if pushing the buggy, and have your daughter showing him how to push properly. Arrange it nicely, and you'll have a clever, unusual shot." So, that's really all there is to it. Pick a starting point—any ordinary object that could fit into a picture —and the picture ideas come quite naturally. Load up your camera and try it. You'll find the system works—and what's more, every plc. ture Will have a story to tell. 208 • John van Guilder 1l
