SAY SOMETHING GOOD Pick out the folks you like the least and watch 'em for a while; They never waste a kindly word, they - never waste a smile, They criticize their fellowmen at ev- ery chance they get. • They never found a human . just to suit their fancy yet. Prom them I guess you'd learn some things, if they were pointed out -- Some things what every one of• us should know a lot about. When someone "knocks" a brother, pass around the loving cup— o`:ay something good about him if you have to make it up. It's safe to say that every man God made holds trace of good. That he would fain exhibit to his fellows if he could, 'The kindly deeds in: many a soul are hibernating there, -.Awaiting the encouragement of other souls that dare '"To show the best that's in then.; and a universal move Would start the whole world running in a hopeful, helpful groove. Bay something sweet to paralyze the "knocker" on the spot— Speak ,kindly of his victim if you know the man or not. 'The eyes that peek and peer to find the worst a brother holds, The tongue that speaks in bitterness that frets and fumes and scolds; The hand that bruise the fallen, though their strength was made to raise 'The weaklings who have stumbled at the parting of the ways -- All these should be, forgiven, for they "know not what they do;" ' Their hindrance makes a greater work for wiser ones like you. So, when they scourge a wretched one who's drained sin's bitter cup., Say something good about hien if you •have to make it up. Strickand W. Gillilan.

Shipman: •1 A HEALTH SERVICE er ram CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIPE $$SURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA Compulsory Immunization Against Diptheria In France humanization against diptheria has for some time been obligatory for soldiers. During the present year the provision has been extended to include all school ''child- ren. All children are required to be immunized against diptheria • in the first or second year of life. No child can be admitted to school without a certificate showing that this law has been complied with. All school child- ren up to the age of 14 years, who have not been previously protected against diptheria must submit to im- munization as soon as possible after notice has been given in the official gazette. This announcement appear- ed on June 2nd. The Toxoid admin- istrations are free. It is said that any necessary outlay will be amply compensated by a marked reduction in the present,mortality from dip- theria of. 2000 deaths and of over 20000 cases annually. In. Canada, we attempt to gain the same results by education of the publie as to the value of the protec- tion afforded by immunization against diptheria. The results have been gratifying. Whole communities where the little children have receiv- ed doses of Toxoid have for years remained immune to diptheria, The work is rapidly extending year by year. Soon, through the effect of voluntary immunization Canada will be rid of this dangerous malady. All children have Toxoid as soon after they are six months of age as possible. The great mortality for diptheria has been in children under the age of 5, although children of all ages centred the disease. Do not neglect the use of Toxoid—your health offieer or your family doctor will arrange it for ,you. By John W. S. McCullough, M.D. Art of Making Home Made Wines Nearly all garden and wild fruits, as welt as several vegetables, niay be used for wine snaking, but the old courtesy of being able to offer a guest a cue of delicate dandelion, elderberry, rhubarb, mulberry, par- snip, or other such home-made wines seems to be on the wane, principally because there may be some of the younger housekeepers in the city who do not know how to make it. No great amount of equipment, how- ever, is required and there are only two essential rules to be observed, first, the fruit or vegetables must be of good quality, and second, strict attention must be paid to Cleanli- ness, N'o license is requited for mak- ing wine for home use only, but sale is prohibited unless the vendor has a license to manufacture and sell. Pull instructions in the art .of making wine in the home, together. with several recipes, have been pre- pared by R. W, Arengo-Janes of the Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, .Ottawa, and may be obtained in booklet form on request from the Publicity and Ex- tension Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Fol- lowing are two recipes taken from the bulletin: BEET OR MANGOLD WINE For beet or mangold wine, the in- gredients are 8 lb. beets or man - golds, 2 gallons water, 7 lb. sugar, 2 oz. ginger, and 6 oranges. Wash the roots but do not peel. Cut in pieces and boil until soft. Add sugar, oranges (cut in slices) and ginger. Boil 20 minutes. -Strain and when cool add 1 yeast cake dissolved in a little water. Allow to stand in crock for five days and then run into a keg to complete fermentation. Let stand for about one month to clear and then syphon into bottles. PARSNIP WINE Parsnip wine is made by first scrubbing the parsnip roots and cut- ting off the green stein part. Slued finely and allow two quarts of water to each quart of shredded root. Boil until soft and then strain off the liquid and let it stand for 24 hours to clear. To each gallon of the clear liquid add three pounds of sugar, one Th COOKING CARE OF CHILDREN misgiving Is Thanks -Living When this article was commenced the world was n' a'turmoil,' we were hourly. alternating between three mental states, suspension, 'the joy •of peace, and the- fear of war. God has seen fit to grant us peace. When He ascended into Heaven'. He left the message "My Peace I give unto you." •, ,His peace was. not the peace such as is given by the world, but if we could just have His legacy of lfeace in our hearts there would be no fear of worldly war. The success of the four point negotiations is of course to -day the cause of a general Thanksgiving throughout the world. A weight has been lifted from the heart of every- one of years of understanding. Just when . conditions seemed the blackest, when there did not seem to be any separation of the cloud hang- ing over us, when war appeared in- evitable, the light of God's counten- ance broke through and flooded the Earth •with a calm, the like of which has probably never been known be- fore. The Thankfulness of the people of the nations represented in the Con- ference was fully shown by the en- thusiasm of the reception afforded the different leaders upon their re- turn to their own country. As Oct; ober first passed one realized with Beverley Baxter that the men of Czechoslovakia and some of the oth- er nations would sleep in their beds instead of lying dead on a field of battle. It would be well if we would each go to our knees in thankfulness that we have at the heads of our. govern- ments God fearing men who are will- ing to exercise every justifiable means for peace. It is reported that King George gave the honored posi- tiott of first place to Prince Minister NeviIIe Chamberlain in the well earn- ed reception which was recorded him on his return to England. With the crisis unsettled and with a day of general Thanksgiving ap- proachieg it did seem difficult to con- centrate on other items for whieh to be thankful, but we know- that we have cause to return thanks to God every minute of our lives, When we become discouraged and feel that God has forsaken us, let us just take a trip through 'some hospital where we may see patients who have lost their sight, men and women who have no use of their hands or feet, and more pathetic still those whose minas are not function- ing properly. Wo will come away with a different view of life alto- gether, and we will realize that we have a great deal for which to be thankful When. God has granted us the use of our faculties lot us return thanks by using these for the advancement of His cause. It would be well.for us on Thanks- giving day if we would just take a few minutes to go quietly away by ourselves and think of the many things for whieh we should be thank- ful, It will help us in the days that are to, come and will bring the lesson to our Own minds and also tench it to others that Thanksgiving is Thanksliving. Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my• days Take my hands, Take my feet, Take my voice, Take my lips, Take my silver and my gold, Take say will, Take my heart. Use every power as thou shalt choose Take my love; My Lord I pour At thy , feet its treasure store; Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all for Thee, "PEG„ STATISTICS . PROVE "Statistics prove" so many things, The size of towns, the height of .kings, The age •of children in the schools, The skull development of fools, The salaries that parsons get, 1he number of abodes to let, The wealth oflucky millionaires, The price of hens and mining shares All things belgw and things above, It seems to me "statistics prove." But no, statistics never yet Appraised 'the gladness of an eye, Or proved, the sorrow of a sigh. Statistics never caught the gleam That dances on a meadow stream,, piece of ginger root and one lemon Or weighed the anthem of a bird sliced thin.

THE COMFORTERS "My child!" crooned the river when I came to it one day. "My Child!" it murmured softly, 'I had long been away, "My child!". the river welcomed are, forgetting I was grey, "My little one!" the oak said, the mighty voice was mild, "My little one!" its leaves shone as though its spirit smiled, "My little one, cone hither!" as I were yet a child. My tears fell in the river, I hugged the lovely shore, I kissed the rough cheek of the oak for gentleness it wore No longer was I sick for home, nor friendless any more. —Mary Josephine Benson, A Better Place in Which to Live and Work A Series of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems Affecting: the Future, ,Welfare of Canada 'Specially Written. for Canadian Weekly Newspapers -Association 9 ' - • LETTER NO.
