Honey is our most easily digested sweet. It also contains valuable di- gestion -aiding enzymes and. the es- sential minerals.

My, the heat is awful! Looks aen if we would have frost tonight. Such weather for a'picnic! etc. etc Is there any subject which is more talked. about than. the weather? How seldom the majority of people are pleased about it. If it is °old we want it warm and if it is hot we want it cold. No matter how many bright sunny clays we have, let there come one day which is Bask and rainy and we talk, talk, talk about it. After all what can we do about it? All our talking will not change it one part- icle. Some years ago there was a man in the Western provinces who claimed he could bring rain. It did not last long. It was soon realized that man could not control the -weath- er and it is well he cannot. If such were the case there would be a great many more unsatisfied people than there are. We sometimes wonder what we would talk about if we did not. make the weather an opening subject of our conversation. The very fact that we can do nothing about it is cheer- ing to us, we do not have the worry of it on our shoulders. eather „PEG" squash, inelons etc. remain in the ;fields waiting to be garnered; • the golden rod and cat tails give their . message of beauty along the road side. Then the winter steps in with i.s blanket of snow to protect the ground for its growth 'of the corning year; the sheets of ice give enjoy- ment to merry ,skaters; at times the trees are. arrayed in their dress of sparkling ice and snow. Nobody but God (mulct direct the weather respons- ible for the beauties of the season. It might be well for us to leave it in His hands and instead of grum- bling about the weather just become reconciled to whatever God sends us. . There are many times when people in the city talk about the wet weather. They want to go here or there and rain has stopped them. No ,one should be selfish along this line. It may be that at the sane time people who are Iiving in the country districts have no water in their wells and are having to drive their cattle a long way to give them water. Also it is quite .probable that the fields are badly in need of rain to bring the grain to pro- per maturity. We can hardly imagine what our own little country side would be like if we were responsible for 'cold or heat, rain or sunshine. We can real- ize someone coming to our door and explaining that they had planned a picnic at the lake an January the :first. Could we have nice sunny- weather unnyweather that day, with a temperature such that the, water would be suitable for bathing. That one would be hardly away when there would cone another knock at the door. Someone wanted to give a skating party on January the first, and they would like the weather to be so cold that the bay would be frozen over. Just what would, we do about it? Before many hours had passed we would be ready to thank the Lord that He had charge of the weather. Could -we have anything more beau. 1 c. chopped nuts iful than the arrangement of the Sift dry ingredients. Beat eggs un- seasons, spring, Sulniner, autumn, winter?

The scene changes with the appear- ance of autumn and the turning of the Ieaf to such a gorgeous array of color; the harvest has been gathered and the fields lie bare; the pumpkins, In the majority of cases we grum- ble about the weather thoughtlessly. When disappointment comes to us let us direct our minds to days which were fine and when we had a full en- joyment of the bright, clear skies. Our lives can well be compared to the weather. At times we waken to dull (freely days and again the bright rays of the rising sun greet us with the thought that after all there is a great Ileal of happiness in the world. Just how does that refer to us? Probably we have been up late; have eaten unmod'erately; or have been overtired and we open our eyes to the world feeling just like the gloomy weather. Everything is wrong. We see no beauty in the world. The un- fortunate part of itis that we are not content to be in bad humor ourselves but we are determined to make others unhappy too. There are many people who to the end of their days, will re- gret such a morning. They have cast their gloom to right and Ioft; have said unkind things to those who have always tried to do the most for them and they have started' out to their days work without any good bye and have even exhibited their ill humor by banging the door, unfortunately nn, should we say deservedly. Some of these have been called hone during the day to find that it it too late to take back the words spoken in haste. If we waken and find ourselves in such a humor Iet us get down on our knees before God and ask Him to guard our tongues. Others apparently have no gloomy days. Their lives seem to radiate sunshine. As we co-operate with The Tragedy ot X by Ellery Queen E'LLERY QUEEN, a household word to millions through magazines, books, radio and silver screen, gives mystery -lovers, a challenging puzzle to solve in this masterpiece of de- tective -fiction. Harley Longstreet, a much hated and f eared man about town, is mur- dered in a crowded street car, yet there is no eye witness to the crime— Mystery number one is a series of baffling crimes which remain unsol- ved until Inspector Thurnm of the New York Police consults lovable old Drury Lane, a retired actor, who puts his, finger on the vital clue. His solution of the mystery will leave you gasping. ELLFJRY QUEEN places many a clue in the reader's hand early in the story, but we defy the most ex- perienced fan to know the answer be- ° before the final installment bas been reached.

"PEG" Change in Addressing Mail for Troops Here and Overseas Postmaster General Honourable W. P. Mulocle announces that owing to the recently authorized change in the title of the military forces in Canada, the designation "Canadian Army" will now be used instead of "Can- adian Active Service Force (C.A.S. F.)". Mail for soldiers on active ser- vice should, therefore, now be ad- dressed as follows: Mail For Delivery Overseas The designation "C.A.S.F., % Base Post Office, Canada" is to be omitted and the words "Canadian Army Over- seas" substituted therefor, as follows; K-52937, Pte. John Blank, "B" Company, Seaforth. Highlands of Canada, Canadian Army Overseas. B-12346, Cpl. A. J. Jones, 1st Anti -Tank Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, Canadian Army Overseas. If a soldier is overseas the word "Overseas" must appear in the ad- dress, but no place name. Mail For Delivery in Canada The usual complete particulars — regimental number, rank and name and details of unit and name of regi- ment or branch of service, and, in addition, the Post Office name of the place in Canada where the soldier is stationed, must be given. For example -- C-12963, Pte. Joseph Wood, No 7 Field Hygiene Section, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps Hebert, 1'.1',0., N.S. G-12345, Gnr. John Jones, 15th Heavy Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery, Saint John, N.B.. PICTURE COMPOSITION Good arrangement makes this picture striking. A few simple rules, wisely applied, will help you improve your own snapshots. wirANY volumes have been written on composition—some of them excellent treatises on the subject— and there have been an untold num- ber of discussions of what makes a picture pictorial Unfortunately much of this material is so compli- cated and involved that it frightens the average amateur. Generally speaking, the "compo- sition" of a picture is simply a pleasing errangement an arrange- ment that "feels" right and satis- fies the eye. In taking pictures, a little thought and common sense are better than a whole encyclope- dia of rules. Every picture subject is different, and no rule or set of rules can cover everything. When you choose a pic- ture subject, simply ask yourself— "What arrangement of this will be most pleasing in the print?" Visual- ize the possibilities, then arrange the parts of your picture so that they carry out that idea. After that, simply frame your subject properly in the viewfinder, and release the shutter. In pictorial composition, there are a few basic points that, if re- membered, will aid anyone in mak- ing more attractive pictures. Have but one main or dominating center of interest. Seo that each picture tells only one story. The principal subject may be flowers, one person or several, a nearby pond, or a distant mountain; but whatever it is, give that subject' proper prominence. Then there should be objects of secondary importance, unless It is a closeup portrait. If the picture is a group of trees, a second group, a little farther away, will help toward balance, When people are in a pic- ture and the principal thing you wish to photograph is a distant mountain, have them look—not at the camera, bet toward the moun- tain. Backgrounds too are important in composition. Be sore that nm tree branches are apparently growing out of a person's head, or an un- covered trellis or clapboard house is used for a background. Organize the component parts of your pictures just as you would a room in your house. Spend a few extra minutes in planning, and work out the details before you shoot. It's not difficult—just ar- range your snapshots In the view- finder to please the eye, and you'll get better pictures. 349_ John van Guilder .
