DON'T JUDGE TOO HARD Pray don't find fault with the man who limps; Or stumbles along the road. Unless you have worn the shoes he wears Or struggles beneath his load. There may be tacks in the shoes that hurt, Though hidden he, bears placed on your back Might cause you to stumble too. Don't sneer at the man who's down today, Unless you have felt the blow You may be strong, but stili the blows That were his, if dealt to you In the selfsame way, at the selfsame time, Might cause you to stagger too. Don't be too harsh with man who sins Or pelt him with words or stones, Unless you are sure, yea doubly sure, That you have no sins of your own, For you know perhaps; if the tempter's voice Should whisper as soft to you As it did to him when he went astray, 'Twould cause you to falter too. SONNET FOR A NEW HOUSE There is a living grace in brick and stone That never touched them as they lay apart. Yet, something in them felt the touch of art Together, that they could not feel alone. .:Here, like a king come newly to his throne .:Is a fresh beauty that wi11 not depart, A. never-ending beauty of the heart, Unchanging as time alters, 'tone by tone. Isere is a house whose every beam was laid A dozen times in eager argument; The pros and cons of every line were' weighed That took its place in those import- ant plans. Now, as thewalls stand firm in deep content, Something is here that was not built by hands. —P. W. Payne.'

DISHWASHING RHYMES Fact, Not Fiction It was a busy day in the rushed life of Mrs. Brown, So she sped up the stairs to clean, leaving small Johnny down, But silence reigned so long below that her susplicions grew That John was into mischief — for her small : son's ways she knew. A sweet voice reassured her, sa again to work she went, Ashamed, at doubting one who seem. ed so angelic, content. Again that dreadful silence reigned: "Son, what are you into?" (Experience had whispered, and again "I ain't ino anything -just rocking in my chair— Bub kitty -,naughty kitty—hers in your )3idginedaire" (Frigidaire). THE SMELL or ILOTIIER'S BREAD I think that I shall never know Aroma more entrancing Than that which rose from Motheris bread When I Pram school came dancing. At morning when I left the house The yeast was, in a cup; At noon a spongy pillow filled Her 'mammoth bread -pan up. But when my day at school was o'er And I with happy feet Raced homeward — oh, the smell I caught A full block down the street. - I almost saw the pungent,' waves, That from the .oven fled, And hunger gnawed consumingly As, deerlike, home I sped. And when upon the table -top Turned upside down to cool, b I'd find the golden loaves set out, My mouth would start to drool. c Oh,many •a I've dined at laden board,' 'i a But no bread, far or wide, Can •smell like that my Mother made, l t Or feel so good inside.. :raw aZEIZSZCZYG2gw«•» is 2 Tested s. . louses or Homes Ts our dwelling place a house or a home? Fathers and mothers 'have stood by and have seen a house, Whichperhapsthey owned or at least which they had recently occupied, be- come the, victim of fire.. Some have thought "there is all I possess, gone". Others have gathered their family around diem and 'stave thanked God that although their house was ruin- ed with perhapsall they .awned, yet their home was intact. They could in some way secure another house and there in move their families, and carry on the home which had been interrupted. Fire cannot destroy a home. The only thing which can do that is lack of love. Marriage is 'an act which God Him- self imself ordained when lie . created a wife for Adam. It is an institution which ,makes two as one, but how often to- day that one has become two. The father and mother have separated. Each has gone his ar her own way and the family has been divided. Sometimes today it seems that a young couple stand, before the rep- resentative of Christ to be united in the bonds of wedlock and apparently they have never read ar heard of the vows which they are to take as the rule of their united lives. Vows which are to bind them together through every emergency. Thele is no condi- tion which can arise in their after lives which is not included in the. marriage vow. One members of the family can- not annot make peace for all the others. Each one must live a life of give and take. This is not an age of forcing an opinion on one another, but it is a time of arbitration, the arbitrator being Jesus Christ who gives .His decision according to the law of love. It is that alone which will keep peace in families today. No home can be made happy without loving hearts and no hearts can be 'sappy without Jesus Christ in them. Lord Beacon'n field tells of an old tutor, ` who had been instructing the son of wealthy parents. When he finished his course he said to the young roan' "when you start out in life always remember to uphold .the honor of the family home". That is right and proper, but how much more St. Paul gives us in his messages to always uphold the honor of the Sav iour. "The story of the Saviour of the world may be written its three chap- ters— Chapter one: "There was no room for thein hi the Inn:: Chapter two: "The foxes have - holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the san of man hath not where to lay His head." Chapter three: Buried in a charity grave;" and yet it is His presence alone which today can make our homes beautiful. To know .people we must see them in their homes. Let us individually put this question to ourselves "would I like the outside world to see me as 1 am in my home?" we all, I am sure can safely answer "I certainly would not," • We like to be hospitable in: our homes, In order .to render true hos- pitality to our friends we most be a humble+ host or hostess to Him who is the Host of the Heavenly Realm. He must conte into the home of our hearts in order to guide our lives. Have we a special prayer sanct- caty inoar homes?, , vve cannot expect Christ to answer our prayers if all the time we give to Him is just while we are making the request. latelatetaaa t Yecipes NESTED .EGGS—A SARDINE SURPRISE For breakfast or luncheon' or child - ten's suppers this .is an unusual and interesting dish:'. iBggs lend themselves to a.. great many variations, and yet we take them so much for granted. Asked for different ways to serve them, you might say poached, fried, boiled and hard-caoked and think you had coy- eyed the •situation. But that's only the beginning. Por instance, here's a dish that doesn't take much time to prepare, but pays dividends in good loots and appetite appeal. NESTED EGGS WITH SARDINES 4 slices toast - 1 eau Canadian Sardines 4 eggs, separated Have the toast piping hot and butter it well. Place two to three sardines on each slice. Separate the eggs and beat the whites very stiff. Make a nest of whites on each piece of toast. Drop a whole yolk into the depres- sion made in the white on each piece of toast. - Add a - dot of butter to each; ' Dust with salt, pepper and paprika and set into a moderate oven until the eggs are set and cooked. Canadian sardines • come - packed with mustard or tomato sauce as well es in oil. This dish becomes differ- ent with each. For instance, for children's lunches use the sardines packed in tomato sauce, and spread a little of the tomato sauce on top of the egg white after the whole yolit has been placed on top. For those who like sharp flavours, pick the sardines packed in mustard. Sections of canned kippered herr- ing—they come packed that way— may be used instead - of sardines. Canned Canadian salmon, mashed and sprinkled with a little lemon juice make another interesting var- iation. Don't forget any woman may have a whole cookbook on exciting fish recipes merely for the asking. Just send a postal card to the Department of Fisheries, Ottawa, .Canada; , and say you want a copy of "100 Tempt. ing Fish Recipes." Published in both French and English, and free to every Canadian woman. - In a pamphlet' on "My Religion" by Maclaine Chiang Kai Shek, she tells of saying : to her .mother at the time of the. Japanese invasion of Man- churia "Mother, you're so powerful in prayer, why don't you prhy that God will annihilate Japan by . an earthquake or something." The moth- er who was an earnest Christian and who spent much time in prayer turned her face away for a time, then looking into the face of Iter daughter said "when . you pray, or expect me to pray, don't insult God's intellig- ence by asking Hint to do something, which would be unworthy: even of you, a mortal." It is little weeder .that. China's First Lady attributes the conversion of General Chiang Kai Shell tothe influence of her mother. Christ is still patiently waiting to e invited to our own personal home, ut He will nob enter if we harbor ompany there, which is not accord- ng to His standard. We must be willing to give our lives to Him and o be ready to da His service.

But every home where love abides And friendship is a guest, Is surely home, and home, sweet home, For there the heart can rest." • "PEG" ealth RAW AND PASTEURIZED MILK There is a disposition among the opponents of the pasteurization of milk to assert without proof that pasteurized milk has less nutritive properties than the raw article. This o a delusion. Pasteurized mills has lost none of its ,nutritive qualities\in the: process. This has time and again been shown by experiments in Great Britain, United States and Canada. The third report on this 'subject from the National Institute of Re- search in 'Dairying at Reading sup- lements the proof of previous ones. The former reports from the instit- ute all were to the effect that not only was pasteurized milk ' quite equal in, nutritive qualities to raw milk, but also that calves fed on the former thrived better. Invariably'` in every experiment, some of the calves fed on raw milt developed tubercul- osis and died. Sixteen pairs of bull' calves from; tuberculosis -free herdswere compar- ed. One animal in each pair was fed on raw and the other on pasteurized milk from the same source. The milk was given in proportion to the weight of the animals. The experiment was continued for 26 weeks. In assess- ing the results, five pairs of calves were omitted on the ground that three calves on raw milk died of pneumonia, one calf on raw milk was ill, and one on pasteurized milk had intestinal obstruction. The average weight of the remaining eleven pairs was 453.9 lb. in the raw group and 454.36 Ib. in the pasteurized. Ex- amination of the raw milk showed that 30 per cent. of samples contained tubercle bacilli, in spite of the fact that it came mainly from accredited heads. None of the pasteurized sam- ples was found to be infected. Tub- erculin tests made towards the end of the experiment showed that eight. of the eleven calves on raw milk re- acted positively. Taking together all the experi- ments that have been made in Great Britain on calves, amounting to 250 animals distributed approximately into two groups, the weighed mean increase in weight per calf per day works out at 1.232 lbs for animals fed on raw and 1.273 lb. for animals fed on pasteurized milk. It is possible that if the raw milk used in these experiments - bad been free from in- fection .the differences might not have been so marked. As they stand these results form an indubitable proof of the superiority of pasteur- ized over raw milk. John W. S. McCullough, M.D.,D.P.H. MANAGEMENT IANDI CARE OF PLANTS IN THE HOME .. In the choice of plants for the home, fitness of plants for houses may be determined largely from their -structure and general appear- ance. Those with thick leaves and a small glossy surface are but little affected by a dry atmosphere, while plants with small thin leaves dryup quickly. Deciduousplants that show bare stems in winter are the least decorative. They are resting. All plants must rest, but those which rest during the summer should be chosen, .such as begonias, abutilons, callas, cyclamen, geraniums, heliot- rope, and Chinese primroses; also the flowering bulbs, hyacinth, tulips inarcissi, and other plants of that aider. In the ' care and management of house plants four things are import- ant moisture, light, temperature, and soil: With regard to watering, pro- vided .theplants have proper drain- age rainage it runs through the bottom of the pot: Too frequent' watering is often a detrimental; it wets the surface soil so much that the air is kept out Dwelling -house air is usual' dry but the dryness may be decreased by evaporating water in the room and by syringing foliage on bright days. Thick leaved plants: may be sponged with water containing whale -oil soap A little ventilation should be given on mild, pleasant days. - Through lack, food a plant some times does not .growofoo well. So - long as the roots have not become bound, the plant need not be repotted; 'lar deed, this would offer a needless check to it. The bent thing to do is to scrape away the surface sail down to the roots and replace with a rids soil containing 25 per cent of ground bone. Further information in the care of plants, including the import- ant points in potting and repptting, will be found in: the circular "Man- agement of 'House Plants", which, may be obtained free on application from the Publicity and Extension Division, Doininion Department of Agriculture, .Ottawa, PAGE 'x CARE OF CHILDREN' NOT NEEDED There once was a railroad that ran by our door It hauled all the stuff that they sold at the store And it tock all the cattle from the farms all 'round Wth many a whistle and a chug and a pound ' 'We'd go to the station at two after five To see all the drummers that then seemed alive They came with (their (trunks and their stock of new yarns Entertaining the natives from cabins and barns. - They'd sell a big' bill to old Miele Jim Who then would pile high every drawer and bin And to watch for the samples that were given away Those were the times and those were , the days What the:' did it matter just one day or two When we had the seed planted we knew we were through And we'd grab up, a fish pale then straight to Auburn dam Just a little vacation, best kind that •there am But we didn't run round every night until two And spend the next day red eyed, black and blue When the days work was over and the stock were all fed We'd blow out the candle and roll into bed At the first peep of day, 'fore the sun had got up We'd take the old musket and the red setter pup And hike to the timber to kill us a hare; We had not an ache and we had not a care But those days are all over, the roads full of trucks And where we spent pennies, now we • spend bucks We don't need the railroad that runs by' the door Nor, we don't need the groceries Jim keeps at the store We'd rather buy gasoline to burn in the car Sure, we must have groceries, but they come from afar.

Brown -heart is not recognized by e:e;ternai symptoms. It may occur in very small turnips. but is found most commonly in roots more than two inches in diameter. When cut through crosswise, typic- ally affected turnips exhibits a clear- ly defined brownish, water -soaked, and glassy area. Spots, or intermed- iate stages, suggest •a gradual tissue brealcUown, In ,udVanced stages, cavities frequently form, a condition occasionally associated with rot. Testa conducted over a period of three years in the Maritime Prov- inces demonstrated that turnips re- quire boron fornominal development and further that the addition of this element to the land is a safeguard against brawn -heart. Finely powd- ered borax has been: the most satis- factory source of boron for this pur- pose, 15 to 20 pounds per acre giving highly satisfactory control without causing injury to ordinary crops in subsequent rotations. Heavy, liming of the soil predis- poses the turnip to brown -heart, while the naturally alkaline soils render bomax less effective. Proved methods of applying borax . are as follows: (1) in the drill; (2) at the sides of the drills; (3) broadcast;' (4) combined with the fertilizer and dispersed by means of ordinary spreader. - r• BE HAPPY!
