You are in position to give a great service to Canada. I was raised on a farm and know the constructive work done by the rural weekly papers. I still read them. These publications, being rural, are read to a greater extent, for the number of copies issued, than any other class ,of . papers. You have asked me forsugges- tions, and without giving the mat- ter careful thought, the suggestions that come first to my mind are as follows: 1. to encourage the highest regard for government, for law and the en= forcement of law. 2. That you urge the election, to out different government bodies, of men and women of the highest char- acter and whose purpose will be to serve the people of this country, nn - selfishly and to the best . of their ability. And on the other hand en- deavour to break down political or- ganizations which seek to control government for a selfish purpose and not for the benefit of the people at large. ' 3. To encourage people to be self- supporting and to live within their means, and wherever possible, to ac- cumulate. I see no reasonfor the ex- tensive dole that seems to exist, not only in our country, but other coun- tries. There is •as good an appestats ity today to make a living in Canada As there has been any time in the past. As a matter of faet, I think present conditions are more favor- able. r ! , 4. That we secure and maintain an export market. Canada is naturally an export country and our success depends largely on our efforts along these lines. 5. To build an export market we must compete in quality, price and service. To compete in price we must have competitive costs, there- fore, low costs for the basis' of our success. 6. That you encourage a better• understanding between the rural and urban districts. Each of these dist- yids are depending on the other, It is only through intelligent planning and close co-operation of rural and city people that we can achieve the best results. 7. That you use your best efforts to eliminate waste, which is ruining this country and has slut it into a serious condition through unnecess sary debt. The two major sources at waste are the Canadian National Railway and the multiplicity of gov ernments and the unnecessary num- ber of people employed by these gov- ernments. Canada must do a better job than she has done in the recent past if we are to meet our obligations and to reduce our taxes and get a greater stability among our people. Yours very truly, C. H. CARLISLE, President, Dominion Bank. Curiosity Speedily Wanes A year ago, with newspapers full of the romance of ex -King Edward and his American girl friend, a group of business men bought the house at 212 East Biddle Street where Wallis Warfield spent, her girlhood. The house was made over into a museum and a fee of one dollar was charged the curious to go through it. Business soon fell' off and the admission price was lowered to 40 cents. Then the price dropped to 25 cents. Last week the house was dosed and a ".For' Rent" sign appeared on it. THE OLD WOMAN As a. white candle In a holy place, So is the beauty Of an aged face. As the spent radiance Of the winter sun, So is a woman With her ,travail done. Her brood gone from her And her thoughts as still As the waters Under the ruined mill, --Joseph Campbell. The Trillium Just recently. the Trillium has been chosen as the. Emblem of the Prov- ince of Ontario. This perennial comesamong the earliest of May flowers. It looks SO pretty as it tosfers above the other bushflowers, and nods to us as we pass by. We look at it, hold it in our hands and examine it, and it brings to us a special message. ' In its natural state, as it grows in the woods, it gives us the message of purity. Science tells us that as the rays of the sun strike it, it gives back all the colours and remains white, the emblem of all that is pure. It, tells us in its own way that it is able to win through the world and yet keep aloof from its influences. The Trillium belongs to the lily family, but it is individual in its formation. It derives its name from the fact that its parts are made up of threes, or its multiple. There are three sepals, three petals, and six stamens. So ash one of us is a member of some earthly family, We bear the same name as our parents, yet we are different. We may, be dissimilar' in that we are not followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, or we may be Christians, who are trying to do our best to pass on His Word, Just what kind of member are you? The Trillium grows from a root mmerapir CARE OF CHILDREN lH1 4,.iw1 Tested Recipes , sti SALAD DRESSINGS With the appearance of green foods on the market, in the stores and gardens, the housewife naturally thinks of turning out some delicious salads to vary, the diet which during, the winter and early spring have become somewhat heavy and monot- onous. With a plentiful supply of suitable material available, the ques- tion of how to serve 'frequently with- out the family getting tired of the methods of serving crops up. Everyone admits that the same kind of salad dressing time after time will soon spoil the family's ap- petite for salads. With this thought in mind the careful housewife might like to have the following recipes on hand in order that dressings may be varied from time to time to keep the family salad minded.

Our daily lives are situ -'rug' ilar to this. If we through prayer and meditation keep up our spiritual life we can live in an atmosphere of joy, made possible only in that way, but if we allow the world to creep in between us and God, Ise will certainly lose that perpetual joy, and like the uprooted lily, we will drop into a life in which there is no real plea- sure and no hope `of any permanent future. Let us just look into a Trillium, the species of which is so abundant just now, and find for ourselves more lessons which will apply to our ' teaspoon salt • ' Christian life. 1 teaspoon mustard This Is My Father's World 11/4 teaspoons sugar Few grains cayenne This is -my Father's world, 1/4 tablespoon flour And to my listening ears Yolks of 2 eggs All nature sings, and round me rings 1'4 tablespons melted butter The music of the spheres.

Note:—Have" all ingredients and utensils thoroughly chilled and place mixing bowl in a pan of crushed ice while blending. If dressing curdles, take another egg yolk and add the curdled mixture to it slowly, beating constantly. Another method of blending is to mix dry ingredients, add to yolks and mix thofoughly. Add the vinegar and lemon juice slowly, beating well with Dover eggbeater. Add the oil slowly. Boiled Dressing This is my Father's world: . The birds their carols raise; The morning light, the lily white, Declare their Maker's praise.

Some Timely Hints for Flower Gardens Now that spring is here all dead stems should he cut off the plants, leaves and broken branches raked up and the garden tidied up. Plants that were put in last autumn should be examined and any that have• been heaved out of the ground by frost should be replanted or pressed firm- ly into the soil. If left, the roots will probably dry out and die. Perennials, such as Aster, Phlox, Helenium, that have grown into large clumps should be lifted, divided and replanted. If any bad weeds' are found in among clutnps,of perennials French Dressing '/s teaspoon salt '/ teaspoon pepper 4 tablespoons vinegar 4 tablespoons olive oil Mix ingredients and stir until well blended. Some prefer the addition of a few drops onion juice. French Dressing is more easily prepared and largely used than any other dressing.

A HOUSEWIFE SPEAKS Sometimes we grow discouraged, So many tasks to do; The endless round of housework Each "morning to go through; We think our talents wasted; Our flags should be unfurled, And our. names should be numbered With the great ones of the world; But the unfoldingof a flower Still yields us rare delight, Or the beauty of a silent star In the deep blue dome of night; So, perhaps, in our quiet pathways We are learning day by day That life'sglory lies not in its grandeur But in simple things by the way. —Blanche Hales Squires. THE STORY -TELLER He talked, and as he talked Waipaper came alive; Suddenly ghosts walked, And four doors were five; Calendars ran backward, And naps had mouths; Ships went tackward In a great drowse; Trains climbed trees, And soon dripped down Like honey of bees On the cold brick town. He had wakened a worm In the world's brain, And nothing stood firm Until day again. , —Mark Van Doren. THE SOUL OF A GARDEN She showed me round her garden it awed my gardening soul, For method was her motto, and order A LAUGH A laugh is like music, It freshens.all the day; It tips the peaks of life with light And drives the clouds away; The soul grows glad that hears it, And feels its courage strong; A laugh is just like sunshine For cheering folks along. A laugh is just like music, It lingers in the heart, And where its melody is heard The ills of life depart, A.nd happy thoughts come crowding Its joyous notes to greet: A laugh is just like music For making life more sweet. —St. Francis Magazine.
