It seems to me that the many in- ternal issues that confront us now are really only so many phases of one great issue—essentially a great moral issue. Most of our troubles appear to be due to the inability of Canadians as a group to see national conditions as they are. This is noth- ing less than a refusal to face facts, a shortcoming the right name of which is a very unlovely one—intel- lectual dishonesty. However sanely we conduct our private lives and oir private business we are in the habit of assenting an attitude of wishful thinking in regard to our public prob- lems. We act' as though unpleasant Problems will solve themselves if we only close our eyes to their existence long enough. We seem to assume that by merely wishing things to be other- wise we can improve thein or remove them. In the meantime the plain fact is that our problems • are steadily growing worse—public debts mount- ing., railway deficits nearing their ab- solute limit, government expenses in- creasing through the demands of our- :Ielves, the people, who blindly ask to be bribed by our own money. Another forth of this self-inflicted blindness is playing the old game of "passing the buck." Canada is a de- mocracy, and therefore, we, the peo- ple, are fundamentally the govern- ment, Our ' representatives do .the chores of government for us but we are responsible for the ldnd'ore people they are and the way in which they do their chores. In practice, however, we lay the blame of bad or indifferent Aftea' the election of officers Miss Josephine Weir of Auburn favored with a beautiful solo which was much enjoyed. Miss E.

When thoroughly washed pile leaves lightly M cheesecloth and keep 011, ice. Six Secrets for Salad Success 1, Serve salad greens very cold and crisp. 2. Sa,ve the outer leaves of lettuce, shred them and use as the foundation for fruit or vegetable salads. 3. Never put salad dressing on let- tuce or other salad greens until just before serving as it makes the greens limp and wilted. 4. Marinate in French dressing all vegetables, meat and fish to the used in salads. 5. Make your salad attractive to look at as well as to eat. Never throw the: ingredients carelessly together. 6. Don't let your salads become monotonous. . Vary them frequently and serve different dressings, EGG SALAD Cut 4 "hard-boiled" eggs in halves crosswise in such a way that tops of. halves may be cut in small points. Remove yolks, mash, and add an equ>ii amount of finely chopped cooked chicken. Moisten with French dress-, ing, shape .in balls size of original yolks, and refill whites. Arrange on lettuce leaves, garnish with radishes cut in fancy shapes, and serve with French dressing. PINEAPPLE -RAISIN SALAD . Put a slice of pineapple on each individual elate, with lettuce leaves. On each one place a 'ball made of cream cheese and chopped raisins moistened with salad dressing. BANANA AND DATE SALAD Bananas cut in quarters lengthwise, then in. halves crosswise. Dates, stoned and cut in strips, dressing, on top then a sprinkling of chopped nuts WI on bed of lettuce. _, PEAR COTTAGE` CHEESE SALAD Arrange a canned pear on a lettuce leaf for each serving. Fill the cavity with a ball made of cottage cheese, cover with cooked dressing with whipped cream folded in it, and put fresh ripe strawberries on top. WHITE AND GOLD SALAD On lettuce leaves arrange alternate sections or oranges, grapefruit, and slices of fresh or canned pears, each overlapping the next. Serve with whipped creast dressing.

BLIND BOY IS KIDNAPPED In Detroit on Saturday police were looking, foe two youths why perhaps had committed' the most heartless ohne of the year in the kidnapping of Richard Kotapaki, blind boy, of that city. The lad was taking his dog fora walk when he was picked up by two young men who forced him to go with them about` a distance of eighteen miles and left him stranded. Police found the bey and his dog' on the road and took them to the county jail where they were eared for until the arrival' of relatives.

JUDGE GENTLY Then gently scan your brother man, Still gentlier sister woman; Though they may gang a kennin' wrang, To 'step aside is human: One point must still be greatly dark, The moving why they do it; And just as lamely can ye stark How far perhaps they rue it. Who made the heart, 'tis He alone, Decidedly can try . ua.,: He knows each chord -its various tone, • Each spring—its various bias; Then at the balance let's be astute, We never can adjust it; What's done we partly may compute, But know not what's resisted. - Burns. A SONG OF TRUST Behind the cloud the sun still glows; Above the thorn there smiles the rose; And side by side with Sorrow goes Joy with his song and laughter. God sends the stars into the night; And grief shall give way to delight; Trust Him, and find the paths all bright That lead to the Hereafter. For every noble -deed begun, For every strife of conscience won. For every kindly service done, The path of Iife grows clearer; God's hand is ever : at our side;. God's voice is ever close to guide; Trust Him, and so be satisfied Each hour makes Heaven nearer! E:behangc.

Elliott, A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA APPENDICITIS IN CHILDREN It is generally known that append- icitis is a comparatively common dis- ease. It is not so generally known, however, that appendicitis is sespon Bible for between 1,300 and '1,400 deaths each year in Canada. Pardee ularly is it not known that it is a ocndition oco ing . among children During one year, of the 1,321 deaths due to this cause, 470 were those of children under fifteen years og age. We have secured recently from thet Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto,' some information regarding append- icitis, containing statements which are of great public importance. The ex- perience of this institution shows that apendicitis is a common ailment of children of all ages. When the condition is recognized early and is properly treated, the results are most satisfactory. If, however,•there is delay in securing proper treatment, and the condition is allowed to pro- gress until the appendix ruptures, the not frequent result is the death of the child despite all efforts to save hint. The condition calls for a repetition of what we have so often stated— early proper treatment is necessary if the patient is to be given a fair chance for recovery through the ben- efits of medical science. The phys- ician cannot help those who do not come for his advice, The cause of delay in securing treatment generally rests with the parents who are un- aware of the dangers that may ac- company secere abdominal pain. The ";lain in the stomach" is thought but little of, and the child is frequently given a dose of castor oil or some other purgative which sets the digest- ive tract in motion just at the time whennature wishes to be at rest. When appendicitis occurs there is pain. Older children say it is cramp-, like and usually point it out as being in the region of the umbilicus. Young- er children just point to the abdomen when asked where the pain is, and cry as if in pain, Usually there is nausea and vomiting. There is only ono sensible thing to be done for the child with abdominal pain, and that is to .call the doctor and refrain from giving any household remedies. This may seem a needless amount of fuss and bother; and we are not suggest- ing that every- stomach-ache is ap- pendicitis, but we do say that unless abdominal pain is always regarded seriously, cases of appendicitis will be neglected and children will contin- ue to be sacrificed to procrastination. Does Heat Affect Milk? The question is often asked if heat- ing milk affects its food value. Nat- urally the general desire is to serve this healthful fond in the most bene- ficial way. The answer to this'pert- inent question is that milk used in makipg such dishes as soups and des- serts, which necessitate heating the milk, supplies the sante valuable food essentials—proteins, ' calciutn, fate sugar and vitamins—as fresh' milk used as a beverage. ' It is a satisfaction to know that heat does not destroy the goodness in milk, and that heating milk in the meal is just as healthful as drinking milk with the meal. The Milk Utilization. Service, Dom- inion Department of Agriculture, re- commends that milk be used liberally in sauces, desserts and other milk dishes, any of which will contribute Materially to both the nutrition*: •value and palatability of the meat
