OCTOBER WIND
The piper .wind goes straying.
Into the morning skies,
With fern seed in his pocket,
And laughter in his eyes,
-And the swift clouds break, and
follow
His magic melodies.
"'The piper wind goes playing
His music, sweet and shrill,
And, brave in red and yellow,
The leaves dance on the hill;
.And the purple plumes of aster
Nod gads* by the rill,
'The piper wind goes roaming
O'er upland, glade and plain;
:fife whispers to the sunshine,
He : whistles through the rain,
.Be dreams among the pine trees
.And wakes, and laughs again.
'The piper wind goes homing
Adown the sunset skies,
With Sean seed in his pocket,
And laughter in his eyes;
And hearts are fain to follow
His magic melodies.
—Norah Holland.

Down a path of dim sky
On dark Hallowe'en,
See a flock of leaves fly
In a colored sheen.
Riding on a night breeze
Through the dancing throng
Witches mid the bare trees
Chant a magic song:.
"Let the yellow leaves go
Floating throught the town;
Puff! I blow a gray leaf,

THE OLD-FASHIONED
NIGHT SRIRT
I remember as a youngster that my
father used to say
That his father wore a nightshirt
till the day he passed away.
My father and my mother used to
argue now and then
Whether nightshirts or pyjamas were
the proper thing -for men.
But my father clung to nightshirts,
for a stubborn nian was he,
So my fondness for that garment's
due to niy heredity.
NeIlie's tried to make me over, as
all lovely women do,
Every Christmas time 'she buys me
silk pyjamas, pink and blue,
And I know that they are stylish
and that most men wear'em, now,
But the string with which they're
girded seems to bother ine some-
how,
Though I take them when I travel,
both for comfort and for rest,
As my father and his father, I like
old style nightshirts best.
All my friends have now surrender-
ed to their women folk, I know,
And alone I fight the battle for a
cause of long age,
But my ancestry was stubborn and
a stubborn man am I,
All the pink and blue pyjamas in
the wide world I defyl
Let other fellows wear 'em—till the
day i; join the dead,
In a good old-fashioned nightshirt
I shall choose to go to bed.

THE COMMON COLD
If the sura total of -'suffering, in
convenience, sequelae and economi
loss from common colds be obtained
it would at once elevate these in
fections from tem trivial :into th
rank of the serious deseases. Th
autumn is the time for colds thoug
they may occur at any time of th
year. Many of us have from one t
three. colds a year. One attack pro
duces little immunity.
Of what does a. cold consist?
It is a group of acute infection
of the mucous (lining) membrane
of the throat and nose, often' ex
tending into the windpipe and large
bronchi. The sinuses, that is th
hollow Spaces adjacent to the nose
are frequently involved. The infec
tion may be confined to the • 110s
when it is called rhinitis; it may of
feet the throat as in tonsillitis, o
as a pharyngitis; the larynx as
laryngitis and the bronchial tube
as a bronchitis.
Cold and Draughts
The popular idea that a cold i
due to a draught is scarcely correct
Exposure to draughts, sudden
changes of temperature and chilling
of the body are predisposing causes
of 'colds, but no cold can originat
without the specific micro-organism
or bug which is the essential cause
The Cause
Some say that a common cold is
due to a virus, that is a germ so
small that it cannot be seen under
the microscope. Many 'different
germs seem to be associated with
colds. Perhaps the cause is a com-
bination of viruses and germs.' Com-
mon colds may riot be a single dis-
ease but rather a group of infections
which vary in severity and catchab-
ility.
Colds are caught from other per-
sons having colds just as diptheria
is contracted from diptheria patients.
Arctic explorers, exposed to all the
conditions sappula'i'ly supposedlto »re
duce colds, do not suffer from these
ailments until they return to civiliza-
tion and become infected by contact
with their fellows,
Prevention and Cure
The two really important matters
about colds are first, their preven-
tion and second their cure. Preven-
tion may be sunnned up in the
avoidance of those having an infec-
tion especially in street cars, offices
and other poorly ventilated places,
Colds, like other diseases Conveyed
in the secretions from nose and
mouth ere often transferred by dir-
ect and indirect contact through
kissing, the common drinking cup,
the roller towel, pipes, pencils, toys,
fingers, food .ancl other objects con"
taminated with the fresh secretions
which carry the disease. Vitiated air,
draughts, dust, !sudden changes' of
temroreturo, exposure to cold and
wet, overwork, loss . of sleep and im-
proper food all have some, effect in
causing colds. It must be admitted
on the other hand that the most vig-
orous will mitred colds if they re-
ceive the infection, while some per-
sons are so immune that they ap-
pear to resist attacks of colds year
after year.
Persons with colds should at once
go to lied and stay there as long.
as there is any rise of temperature.
Methods of cure had best be left
to the doctor. Some persons pin
their faith to bed, a hot bath and
a drink of whisky. Others use
vaccines. There is one vaccine, nam-
ely that prepared by Rosenow, which
taken by mouth in doses of drops
once a week, is said to prevent the
o:nsct of a cold and taken daily in
the course of a cold seems to break
it up. It is worth trying,

CARE OF CHILDREN
Usually, the time for moving is
May first, but in the recent years
of depression people seem to be on.
the move the greaten: part of the
time, `
When we look at movings leaving
our neighbourhood do we do so with
a feeling of gladness that a certain
family is seeking other quarters, m-
are we sorry to lose them from our
district? Personally sneaking ' do we
live in such a way that our neigh-
bors are sorry when they see us.
leave, or do they heave a sigh of
relief! when we depart?.
Some people never get on in any
district, • while others can live for
years in a place and still retain the
friendship of •the neighborhood at
large. Just what kind of neighbors
are we?
If there is some one •person we
cannot get on, with, it may be the
other persons fault, but if we are
continually having trouble with peo-
ple, then a large pert of the trouble
at least lies with us,
As we leave the old house, just
what would, it say about us if it
had the power to talk? Could it say
that we were 'a peace loving house-
hold, a God fearing fancily, or would
it tell of many heated arguments,
of angry words and the numerous
times the family sought sleep, some
of the membersof which were not
speaking to one another?'
There are many sore hearts in the
world to -day .because those who
shoilld be loving towards one an-
other have parted in anger. In the
interval Before •they could meet
again, death has intervened, leaving
years of remorse behind it. We may
think it was the other ones fault
but let us prove we have the iove
of Christ in out hearts by being the
one to give in thus bringing about
a reconciliation:. Our daily prayer
to God should be that He will bridle
our tongues and keep us from say-
ing unlcincl words.
If we are kind in our own home
we will be kind out of it. Often we
are sympathetic with outsiders and
a regular "bear" at home. ''
One of the good things about mov-
ing
owing is that we discard a great many
things which we have been hoarding
for years waiting an opportune time
to use them, holding them to fulfil
the old saying, "Keep a thing for
seven years and it will come in use-
fNM:'
oving from one house to another
may be compared to transferring
from,the life of a sinner to the
realof Salvation. The comparis-
on is not in its entirety because
when we prove into a new house.
there are many things which we
should discard but which we take
along, whereas in accepting Christ
we nmst leave behind all worldly
things.
Jesus is seeking to go into homes
but Ile will not enter into the in-
dividual heart unless Ile has first
place. Active service for flim nnist
be in everyhome where He would
reside. This service may be render-
edo by all, in thought, in word or in
action.•
He will always benear to advise
us, but so often we consult Him at -
ter we have talked the question at
issue over 'with our friencds.
When we move into a new home
can we honestly tack up the motto
"Christ is the Head of this `house,
the unseen guest at every meal and
the silent listener to every converse -
If we have not already taken. Him
into our individual home may we no
longer .hesitate. Someone has said::
"On the plains of hesitation, bleach
the bones of countless millions who
at the dawn of victory, sat down
to rest, and resting died."
Do we belong to the class of hesi-
tators as regards accepting Jesus
Christ?

MAKING CANADA
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
er Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association
LETTER NO. 24
Dear Sir: r
For the individual, rely more upon.
himself than upon government and
other outside assistance.
For the governments create more
economy . in operation, be brave
enough to tax directly instead of in-
directly $o that the people may'know
what their government is costing
them. Institute a policy of useful
works to create empi.oyment and elim-
inate relief, Seek to carry through
government projects in times when
private enterprise is lagging instead
of doing the work in boom periods
when costs are great.
For the people. Think in terms of
Canada rather than by provinces.
Develop the east -west connection not
only for the benefit of the Dominion
but as part of the British All -Red
line.. •
There are many things indeed,
which we as Canadians could adopt
in order to make Canada a better
place in which to live and work.
But if we can restore to the in-
dividual some of the lugged spirit of
aur Canadian forefathers we will
have gone a long way towards mak-
ing virile our national life. If we
can give more attention to good gov-
ernment through the elimination of
patronage and the recognition of
honesty and merit we will force our
governments to govern by fron-MI
direction instead of by subterfuge
and evasion. Today, they are lag -s
ging in purpose 'because they are
no further forward than the people.
They . hesitate to show the cost of
government. They hide it in direct
taxation and thus the man in the
street thinks living costs are high
but hardly' understands the reason,
If he could realize that "taxation",
seen and unseen, is high, he would
take a more deep and intelligent in-
terest
nterest in the administration of af-
fairs, which would be to the general!
good.
We are too apt today to look upon
life and progress in terms of our
own district, our own province. Un -
tit we span by means of all the mod-
ern agencies, the distance which
separate the Atlantic and Pacific, un-
til we thrust aside our "provincial-
isms" and put Canada first and
foremost our country will not be the
place it should be for living and
working.
A stronger individual, a braver
government, a more clear-aud-co-op-
erative thinking people, and finally
an even closer connection with the
Empire And what more could we
desire in eider to Make Canada a
better place in which to Live and
Work.
It aIP starts at home with you and
me, doesn't it?

Go daily dancing here and there
With graceful steps and light.

Beams down upon the scene
As all the weird wee people
Go dancing on the green.
