Dishes for Lent During Lent, the more or less re. stricted range of food taxes. the in- . gennity of the homemaker in creating varied and attractive meals. The foods most common during the Lent- • -en season as staples of the menu are fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables, milk, :macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles.. The last three are included in Caned- , ran macaroni products, for the man- ufactui'e of which the name of the : Dominion is now becoming famous. It will be remembered that in 1935 Ca- nada ousted Italy from the first place • as the largest supplier of macaroni to the British market. Macaroni products require a min - . in. imum of time and labour to prepare. • They should be bailed in plenty of boiling salted water, and they corn- ' bine naturally with other foods, such I as milk, cheese, eggs and vegetables.

Margarine, or other substitute for butter, isprohibited in Canada, in contrast to Germany which producett 417,000 tons of margarine in 1936. The United' Kingdom with -181,000 tons, and the United States with 176, 000 tons were the next largest pro- ducers of this substitute for butter in 1936. A HEALTH SERVICE Or 311E CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA WHAT TO EAT TO BE HEALTHY Article One Great advances have been made in the science of nutrition during the last few years, and no doubt further advances will be made in the future. However a number of fundamental principles essential for your good health have been established and are DOW universally recogniiied. In this series of articles entitled "What to Eat to be Healthy" we propose to tell you how our present knowledge can be applied in your life and the life of your family. Follow this series closely and you will be in possession of absolutely reliableinformation on what foods you should eat and the importance they play in maintaining normal health. Many persons today, and you may be one of them, do not eat an ade- quate amount of all the food ele- ments necessary for the highest pos- sible level of health. As a conse- quence, malnutrition may result. But malnutrition. is not a spectacular con- dition. For example, everyone knows that a lack of iron will result in the development of anaemia. The milds ly anaemic person usually does not realize he is anaemic. His weight may be quite normal, and he may be able to carry on with his every -day life, but he lacks energy and vigor, A deficiency of calcium in the diet may take years before it obviously affects your health, but eventua1l it will. These are only two exam - pies but many others might be giv- en. Therefore, it behooves us to watch carefully that our diet does contain all the necessary food ele- ments in adequate amounts. What food elements are necessary for life and health? 'You may be surprised to know that there are no less than 30 iron, calcium, iodine, fat, carbohydrate, proteins, vitamins, and others. They may be arranged into five groups of food substances, the vitamins, the minerals, the pro- teins, the fats, and the carbohy- drates. A. deficiency of any one of these essential food elements endan- gers your health. To get these five groups of foods and enjoy the highest possible level of health, take each day one-half to one pint of pasteurized milk (chil- dren one and ono -half pints), one egg, some meat, two vegetables be sides potato, and some raw fruit. Vi- tamin D, is also necessary in the win- ter months, The next article will deal with the dangers associated with deficient in- take of a number of these 30 food elements, Watch this paper for the next in the series—"What to Eat to be Heal- thy."

Kddrese•..,..,.,_ :8yrn,ttheGoproe cRbq,rel4 One of the prominent American radlo news broadcasters ,frequently opens his remarks by the words, "The March of Time." Surely time, does march. If at the, close of the day we were able to di- vide the thought of the hours into past, present and future, we would find that in most cases, three quar- ter& of our waking time was spent living in. ;the past or in the future. To a certain extent we ignore the pre- sent, forgetful of the fact that to -day is ours and to -day alone. "Time was, is past: thou can'st not ib recall, Time is, thou bast: Employ the por- tion small, Time future, is not, and may never be." To all of us the past holds.' many memories which we would rather er- ase from our slate of time. Includ- ed in this are the wasted -hours we might have spent in work for our Master, the hasty word which we would give years of our life to recall, the unspoken message which might have been the means of helping some one in need of comfort, the times when we have allowed some paltry exeuse to keep us from. God's house, failing: to realize that if we do not acknowledge Jesus Christ here that He will banish us from His presence at the judgment. This list nright,be carried on inde- finitely, but what is the use, the time is past and gone and no effort on our part will recall it. The future holds for us many hap- py thoughts also many fears and doubts, Even as Christians we are confronted with the feeling that there is a lot of trouble ahead of es. We are taught that to worry is sin. 'A famous wall motto' says: Fret not -He loves thee Faint not—He holds thee Fear not -He keeps thee. If we could only realize that those words are true? The future is not ours. In another instant we may be in Eternity. The present is ours and we must make use of it for it is only in this way that we can prepare for the fut- ure in that land from which no trav- eller ever returns. Helen McDowell writes: Just for today, My Saviour— Tonsoryow is not mine. Just for to -day, I ask Thee For light, and help divine; To -morrow's care I must not bear The future is all Thine. Just' for to -day, My Saviour, For ere the morrow breaks. Thy voice may call me unto Thee And I shall no mare walk The desert ;Jath with need of faith, But face to face shall talk. And if I have enough, Lord, To -day. Why should I grieve. Because of what I have not, And may not need to have. Each day, I pray Thee, have Thy way, And I will trust Thy love." —"PEG."

THE FAMOUS ��, ENERGY v a� 0 ♦' FOOD p5 6� VV Q%00the\e** CANADA STARCH COMPANY L(milid ALCOHOL 'AND THE INDIVIDUAL Mr. Miter:— After an unavoidable delay I am continuing my article' on "Alcohol and the Individual". In a couple of weeks I will send you my final article of this series, in which I will -discuss "Alcohol' and Politics." In my previous letters I emphasized the immensity and the seriousness of my subject. " I have also described how the innate and specific action of the drug automatically prepares the brain cells so that an individual will accept a deception as a truth when normally he would detect it as a lie. If this subtle action 61 alcohol were sudden and spectacular, it would never be condoned. With leprosy many years may intervene before the disintegration of the tissue cells. When poisoned with radium, it may be five years before the individual realizes his hopeless condition, and so with these thousands of victims of alcoholism some at 16 some -not until 70, according to their suscep- tibility and amount of alcohol taken, sooner or later become casualties of King Alcohol. So much for the action of the drug itself. How about the subject on which the drug acts. In other words what is the type of individual to whom the traffic is catering? In this highly mechanised age we find children growing up ineasy shel- tered surroundings, warmly glad in comfortable houses, with large quan- tities of food lavishly provided, and asa result we find them growing up physically stronger, handsomer and an inch and a half taller than their parents. And this apparently seems all to the good. But .increase in height and muscle is no criterion of general improvement. It is found that these same children are lacking in nervous stability. They can endure neither worry nor \fatigue. The ar- tifically pampered and irresponsible lives they are living and the noisy confusion of this modern age of auto, radio and cinema are given as the logical reason for their nervous sta- bility, and these poorly adjusted in- dividuals are filling our mental hos- pitals by hundreds. Many of those who escape the mental hospitals make easy subjects for the liquor vultures to gather in their toils. (Reference: —Dr. Alexis Carrel. Rockefeller Research Institute, Nair York), I was shown a picture of 500 boys in uniform taking physical exercise on their college campus. The state- ment was made: that at the present rate of beverage room patronage, in 10 years, 80 per cent of these boys would be addicted to liquor. Are con- ditions any better for our Ontario boys than that? Will our legislators answer. And the traffic is also alert to meet another growing demand, viz: Bever- age roqms for girls. This is an age we are told of woman's emancipation, mothers and some grandmothers too have now advanced and modern meth- ods of developing the delicate, esth- etic and domestic instincts of their daughters. So to be consistent their argument would be something like this: If our young' girlsareallowed and indeed sometimes encouraged to dresslike the boys, jump hurdles with the bays, and swim with the boys, why not cigarettes with the boys, and cocktails just around the corner We are told education, not legislation, is the `panacea for all these ills. Edu- cate is the word. Educate the boys. and girls at home and at school to. hate liquor and all will be well. And that argument seemingly worked out very well until suddenly, like a bolt from the blue came to patents and school -teachers the shock of their life Eine, when the Prime Educator of the Province—the Minister. of Edu- cation forsooth— so prostituted his high and honorable office to. level of the traffic and became the main in- fluence in the retrograde steps which were then taken to establish the bev- erage room menace as we have it to day. In this.respect the breweries, and distilleries owe a great debt of grat- itude 'to education,—A. MOIR.

What Parents Should Know About Diphtheria Dangers Every child between six months and 12 years of age—if not already pro- tected against' diphtheria—should be given toxoid treatment. This warning is issued by the Health League of Canada, which points out that the earlier; a child is givenr potectio n the better. Special attention is drawn to the subject at this time because in the past many parents delayed until late in the Spring with the result that the stun - mer holidays arrived before the' third inoculation.' Up to the beginning of this cen- tury diphtheria epidemics took a ter- rible toll in this province. With the discovery of antitoxin in 1894 the control of diphtheria really began and in a few years, the death rate was considerably reduced. Diphtheria is a most dangerous disease. When it occurs, the child may complain that the throat hurts or there may be a croupy cough. Us. ually some fever is present, with an increased pulse rate . Before the doc- tor had anti -toxin from 25 to 40 per cent of diphtheria victims died. To- day, among those given treatment within two days not one in fifty dies. Delay means death in many cases. When toxoid was discovered, a fur- ther reduction in diphtheria deaths occurred, for toxoid prevents the dis- ease being contracted. This newer product is diphtheria toxin modified in such a way that its poisonous qualities are removed, yet it retains its power of stimulating the tissues of the body to manufacture their own supply of anti -toxin. This remains as a barrier against the, disease for a long time, probably for life. Tox- oid.is not a serum. It is administer- ed without causing pain or illness but it takes time to act. Three doses are given at three weeks' intervals. As pointed out, it is important to have all three before summer vacation. With the general adoption of tax oiding ,diphtheria incidence fell of splendidly, many cities in Ontario having a record of no casesinyears. During the past three years, the number of children immunized has not been maintained with the result that diphtheria' is on the increase a- gain and health authorities are al- armed. In ,the absence of adequate pre- ventive measures, Ontario might suf- fer a serious epidemic and for this reason, renewed efforts are to be made this year to secure a wider use of toxoid. Should Plan Now To Combat Mosquitoes According to the Dominion Entom- ologist, the slender, delicately- built insects known as mosquitoes are among the worst blood -sucking flies which attack man and animals In. many parts of Canada. Frequently harmless midges, .small crane flies and similar insects are confused with. mosquitoes, but the latter canalways be recognized by the long, slender beak, or proboscis, and the presence of tiny scales on the veins and marg- ins 01 the wings. Not only are mos• quitoes a source of great annoyance to humans, but they also occasion much loss by worrying livestock. In some of the worst affected districts a marked drop in milk production is notedin dairy caws at the commence- ment of the mosquito, season„ Pract- ical dairymen have stated that this may be as much as 40 per cent, Other classes of animals lose flesh through loss of blood and worry, and in extreme cases death may result, especially among young . animals. Even poultry and other birds are af- fected by these insects. The females: of most of the sixty ar' mare species of mosquitoes that are found in Canada are bloodsuckers and while they vary considerably in their life histories and habits, all of them require more or less stagnant water for the immature stages larvae and pupae) to develop. It is quite impossible for them to develop in damp grass or in dew on vegetation, although this is a commonly -held belief. The fact that the larvae and pupae develops only in water, and that although they are aquatic, they mutt frequently come to the water surface for air, makes it possible to destroy them in vast numbers before they have a chance to emerge. This is done by spraying pools and flooded. areas with petroleum oil, such as fuel oil, in spring and early summer. Such work should be properly planned and, if possible, carried out on a commun- ity scale to give the maximum -results, Eliminating breeding places by drain age, filling or dyking are alternative measures to oiling, and of more per- manent value, THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here Tltey Will Sing 'Y ou Their Songs—Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad—But Always Helpful and Inspiring.

IMAGINATION Sometimes I lie upon my bed, And watch the ceiling overhead, For if I lie quite still, and stare, Most curious things I see un there. Some say there's nothing there to see, But they have not got eyes like me. In the pattern overhead A picture gay, for me, is spread: An elfish face, grinning in glee, Comes dancing up, and stares at me; A rabbit in a top -hat, too, And long coat-tails; a golden shoe; An Indian, with gay headgear And tomahawk, and sharpened spear; A mermaid, combing her golden tress, An old-fashioned belle, in fancy dress All these, and many more I see Who fast appear, and stare at me As if, as I have thought before, I'm just a pattern en the floor. —Gladys. Cooper. HOME LIGHTS The wistful stars that one by one Jet heaven's hills with light Are like the little lamps of love That mothers set at night On window -sills, That those they love May guide their steps aright! So like— A littile lamp that shone For me, in days of yore— So like a little lamp that shines, On earth, for mc— No more! And when at evenfall the stars, bark hills• of heaven jet, They are not stars to me but lamps That waiting mothers set On window -sills Of heaven— That we may not forget! —Harry Lee. ETCHING I know a hill where a pine trees per- ches On a rocky ledge, in a grove of birches, Silver birches, that seem to listen, - Leaning aslant. Their long trunks glisten, • Touched by nature, the magic tinter, Pale harp -strings for the winds of Winter; Which, swaying, hold exquisite traces Of delicate twigs, like filmy laces On the amber sky, where sunset lin- gers, Hemlocks point with grave, dark fin, gers.

And ages are the rungs Of that tall ladder rising to the height Au aeon for the journey of the soul Were all too short a. time, The mov- ing Hand Plays an eternal and unhurried gaieM; And every rule is perfect, first and last. We are the plowmen of forevermore. Who plant andreap a vast and ver. dant field, Our hand shall gather what our hand has strewn. Our mind remembers in the dreaming night Seed -time and harvest when the earths was young, When the wild grape was, heavy on the vine, And no Sound stirred upon the autumn dusk Save the red rain of leaves on hue and hill. For man is not the gesture of alk hour. His heart is nourished with an an- cient wine; His ears are haunted and his. lips are touched With songs, unlearned, yet nowise strange to him, But like the echo of his richest need, And every turning of the wheel of time Quickens his vision of the uttermost star, The vaster freedom and the godlier love. -Barbara Young, DON'T JUDGE TOO HARD Pray don't find fault with the malty who limps, Or stumbles along the road.
