OUR BIRD' BAT$ A bathing pool for feathered friends We •sank in sandy loam Beneath an apple tree that bends To form a. leafy dome. When slimmer hours grow burning hot • This haven, sweet and eoaa, Invites the birds to seek the spot And bathe within the pool. How merrily they chirp and sing And duck their heads and bills , .How happily they dust their wings In near -by sandy hills We love to watch them sport about Like children filled with mirth; We love to hear their songs, devout, Pour blessings on the earth. —Thomas R. Brady. GET IT DONE Lose the day loitering, 'twill be the same story l.'o-marrow, and the next more dilatory. For indecision brings its awe delays., And days are lost lamenting o'er. lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can begin it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated; t3egin it, and the work will be com- pleted. WORTH It isn't what. you do When life is just a melody, .And happy days do singing by, Like notes upon a scale; It's how you carry an When paths are dark and you can see No light ahead; when every plan And effort seem to fail. It isn t what - you give, When you have all your heart's desire, And, from your store, .bestow largess To fill another's need; It's what you -share when you possess No more than you , require, _And sacrifice ter • give,. That is true charity, indeed, It isn't, what the world- may claim ' You are and what you've done -- Stich tales may be distorted, And too often quite untrue;.

AS A LITTLE CHILD A little child, 0 Father -Mother God, Do I lift up my face in trust to Thee; And as a child beside his parent's knee, Learning through love his lessons, needs no rod, So I, in meekness, kneeling at Thy feet, Would learn to understand and- do Thy will, My little lamp ,with Thy pure oil would fill, In Thy reflection know my life complete. - Always, -' dear Father, as a little child, - Whose innocence knowsnaughtthat is not pure; Only of Thine omniscience I am sure, Nor e'er will be thy false beliefs defiled, Upward I turn mine eyes in steadfast gaze, And lift my face to Thee in loving praise. —From Christian Science Journal. DONKEY He carried bricks in Babylon, and corn and wine and oil In Egypt, Persia, China and the Thracian Chersonese; He tollowed 84oag+ol raiders with the forage and the spoil, His neat black hoofs went clicking down the mountain -ways of Greece. The bullock, horse and elephant are ` famed for mighty loads, And lames is the camel of the shifting desert sands.; But, servant of our servants, on the roads that were no roads, The little ass has packed for us the freight of all the lands. Along the ancient highways and across the western plains, Through forests, swamps and riv- ers where the current foamed and swirled, In caravans, in multitudes, in long ear -bobbing trains, His patient t'ibie has berme for us the burdens of the world; And still with wicker panniers and an urchin on his rump To keep Hie balance even and to hold his hind legs down, To building ante, or marketplace, or village water pump • He makes his endless pilgrimage, he toils without renown. ' —Arthur Guiterran, in Saturday Evening Post. THE 'HUNTER AND THE GOOSE He shot the wild goose on the wings It fell, a still, insensate thing.

On the other hand, one of nay girls may: have to work for the President's wife and I want her to )snow how to. do that equally well." Parents you do not know what will be under the guidance of their Heavenly Father and the responsibility will not be yours if they go wrong as long as memory lasts they will be grateful to you for what you have done for them, Very often our station in life is responsible for our ambition, but .us- ually we aim at being and doing the very best we can along any given line. Tho cant that we bave one seen a vision far' which we are going to work is an incentive to us to - keep on from day to day, striving to reach that objective, There - seems to come to us a feeling of -unrest if these dreams appear blurt they might not be accomplished. This feeling urges ' tie on to better thongs, our dreams are for the moistpart lofty, something to which we must climb., Dreams are perhaps .momentary, but the influence of them remains with us, The working out of these dreams may be sometimes for a eland stopped.

All our Earthly dreams are as nothing compared with the 'wonder- ful deems- of the - time when we Will take our little bark and shove out from the shore of time and cross the river to the shore of Eternity to meet our Saviour and our loved ones, That dream is above any dream which could possibly apply to our highest earthly aspiration, The attainment of our happiest dream here is nothing' to what is waiting for us in the Beyond, All we have to do is just freely to accept God's gift of love and He will make that vision come true. Let us continually dream- that dream, including others in it and some day, even to -day, we may see the realization of it, "Amid the willows on the bank, I sit and gaze into the stream, The music of whose ripple charms Its way into my quiet dream. The crystal waters seem to me, As peacefully they wend their way, Like that glad stream of - Holy writ Which flows amid the Heavenly way.

The public enemies of to, day are, in all probability men women who as children, staged hos ups in their minds or by childish a tion, robbed banks or picked imagen ary pockets. In some way they have all done their best to fulfil their dreams. To children how happy the future seemed." It appeared only a step across the line into the land of dreams. Many of those childish dreams have. faded, but many too have realized. There are mothers in homes, men and women in high pub- lic positions who are fulfilling the dreams of their childhood. • Dreams usually are in the distance, something to which we look forward. There are many times when, for one reason or another, our dreams can- not be realized but this should not mean that our thoughts towards some other high aim should not materialize. Sir Harry Lauder, who at one time worked in a coal pit, had a vision that his son would net have to work as he had done. He bought a - beautiful estate in his homeland, expecting to retire there- on, and when he had left earthly thing's behind him, his son would in- herit the estate, That son died on the fields of Flanders. The dream of Sir Harry faded, apparently for- ever. At his work, making others happy, it seemed he could not carry on, but later he realized that there were thousands of others in the same position and they needed cheering up. Be had learned from his reception from his vast audiences that no one could do that better than he. He picked up the threads of life -where he had left off. Itis dream. was shattered but 'he created a new vision and made a success of attaining that goal. There are few of us who have not lost some one out of aur dream. Can we not apply this to our own Yar 1.4 Eno, waft* orewm dreams for their children. In many instances they leave God out of the plan en- tirely. The parents themselves rarely attend Church or in any way help God's cause along, and yet they ex- pect God to give the very 1&t to their children. Is it fair? If we refused to help any earthly friend would we expect that one to be of assistance to us. Parents seem to be so reluctant about speaking to the higher things of life to their children. Why is it? Very often they are not living up to these things themselves, and how can they talk about some- thing of which they know nothing. Mrs, George Black in her recent book "My Seventy Years", quotes her art except our geidemic work. ickness or even death has inter nett with the result that our course has been stopped, If we have in us SOUFFLES TI-IA.T DON'T FLOP There is one member of a luncheon party which should never sit down.

GOOD POSTURE' - LOOK YOUTHFUL To be personally attractive is an ambition of every woman, and it should be, A woman should be ;concerned with her own appearance as with that of her home, not with vanity as a motive, but because she wishes to express beauty and comfort hi every phase of diving., Posture has much to do with a Woman's -ability to wear clothes well._ and with 'her feeling of well-being. The body should be balanced bath in action and in repose, that is, in profile a straight line should pass through the ankle bane, the knee joint, or just behind it, and outer- most tip of the hip -bone, the out- ermost tip of the shoulder and the ear. If any one of these is- not in alignment, others must adjust ;the balance. Hence there is never just one defect in posture. Exercise, whether taken for pos- ture improvements or weight - reduc- ing should be taken daily. They should be taken .in progressive order, that is, the easy ones first, the more difficult ones later on. It is well to remember, however, that our 'human body es not exact- ly a , product of fifteen minutes to half an hour of daily exercise, but rather of how we use it during the day. Therefore, only a method which includes a check up now and then during the day, so as to establish good posture habits while standing, sitting and walking, plus daily exercise can insure goad results, VACATIONIST'S BAGGAGE DISAPPEARS GO•DERICII,--1Fred A. 'Liebman, a Detroit business elan, placed two valuable club bags, filled with per - mai belongings, inside the municipal pumping stationat midnight on Friday while he went in to take a fool: out over Lake Huron to see if the passenger steamer Georgian, on which he was to embark, was in sight. When he returned the bags had disappeared. Mr. Liebmann was forced to cancel hie vacation trip and return home by train. A LEMON A. DAY Scurvy was rampant in the Abyssinian Army on the Somaliland front.- The dieaae contributed materially' to the defeat of the Ethiopians. Reports of foreign doe- tors in the Ethiopian Red Cross telt of 30,000 cases. There was no scurvy • in the Italian army. What was the reason far bhhis immunity? A small precaution; every soldier in Mus. solini's army was given a lemon is day. Like the vanished apple, a lemon a day kept the doctor away. Since the earliest times scurvy has fre.. quently proved a scourge to explor, era, to sailors, armies and to the civil population in areas where fresh food could not be had. Scurvy is due to the diet being dee ficient in Vitamin C. The victim oil this affection feels tired, has pains t'he joints; the gums swell and bleed. Later on the sldn becomes covered with peteehiae which are small spots due to effusion of blood. Haemorrhage follows and the per- son can no longer work. In the case of the soldier he can no longer march. He is useless and an en, cumbrance. The use of fresh vegetables and' fruits .prevents and cures [scurvy. James Cook, one of the immortal explorers and sailors of Great Brit- ain, was a pioneer among public health workers. He forced his crews at the rope's end to drink soup made from wild vegetables. He set them a good :example by his personal use of raw fruits, wild celery and other green stuff found in his extensive travels. Today the mother, zealous for the - health oar her baby, gives the infant orange and other fruit juices for milk contains very little of Vitamin C. In consequence little is heard or seen or seurvy at the present time. It is one of the disappearing diseases.
