WHEN BOOKS ARE BALANCED When books are balanced in this world we live in; When peace again dawns an our world of strife When Justice weighs the guilt and judgement given, And Man may live again his normal life, What shall the eterdiet be, for wreck and pillage, For Poland ravished, and Czecho- slovale's doom, For lesser peoples dragged from lands and tillage, To give the Huit his glut of living - room? Will Britons .still be of the strong and free, With chance to worship God and do their trading; To journey to and fro an land and sea, Without the fear of slavery degrad- ing? Yes, this must be their everlasting aim: To fight oppression; smite it neck and thigh; Make peace reality, in deed as well as name, - a According to the judgment of the Throne on High. Yes, Britons; ,fight your foes, and warring, dare To die if need be; throw your torch to others; Defend the right and ;seek it with a prayer, That in the end your yoenen become brothers. —R: Henry Mailer. GIVE IF YOU WOULD GET Once you are past the days of youth You do not get unless you give. This is an unrelenting. truth To which there's no alternative. Youth with its freshness and its charm Can be sublimely self -concerned. It can afford to thence its arm, Consuming jcy it has not earned. But if you're past that happy stage, You must contrive to make a break With selfishness, for middle age Must give if it intends to take To youth we happily concede This privilege .of selfishness; But those, who are maturer need To render more and grasp at less. Noone ever added lip The value of a smile; We knots how much a d.ollar's worth And how" much is a mile; We know the distance' of the .sun, The size and weight of Cerro But no one here can' tell us just How much a smile is worth.

One reads in the newspapers that an important man of business has suddenly died of acute indigestion. It is a doubtful diagnosis. One thinks that he died of some heart condition, aggravated possibly by to heavy meals, too much tobacco or alcohol The netvspapers are, on occasion, inclined to be char itable, Perhaps it is as well. The heart and stomach are close ineiglibaurs. They obtain their nour- ishment from the same source, the blood. They vet their "pep" front a coronion origin, the nerves; if one or- gan is healthy, the other shares in this health as well as in the ill -health of one -or the other. Bath acute and chronic indigestion are abdominable. They make. the vic- tim uncomfortable and morbid. Ile is apt to think of heart disease, cancer or other serious ailment. Acute indigestion is invariably due to the indigestion of too much food, improper food or faod that is "spoil. ed." A man (or woman) eats- a hearty dinner -at his favourite restaurant or club,. Six or seven hours later, he is fearfully ill. He has fever, pain in the stomach, nausea, vomiting and perhaps diarrhoea. He has a feeling of "impending death. Occasional cases of this food poisoning are fatal in 24 hours. Usually the attack is over in a day or two. The food poisoning is commonly derived from the use of foods such as milk, neat in the farm of hamburgers, sausage and salads or other•foods'subjeet to much handling. Other acute stomach attacks are duo to food toxaemia. Botulism belongs to this class. Botulisms has usually a short period of incubation. Vomit- ing is the earliest symptom and this is succeeded by nervous signs, par- alysis and constipation without fever, Wbila the fatality rate of ordinary foot, paison:ing is but 2 per cent, that. of botulism runs to 50 and 100 per t-ewl ift''7tt"M.w4 3! + :It' e'+« k_S 7!K Tested Recipes MORE .

WOMEN IN BREECHES New Uniforms Designed for Britain's Auxiliary Service Hundreds of thousands of Service dress items have been rushed out from British factories since war be- gan, to meet the needs of the stew legions of women in uniform. The Wornell's Auxiliary Territorial Service alone was responsible for the purchase of some 20,000 uniforms. in the first 'trues weeks of war ,and such isr the capacity of industry that one stare in, London which makes out- fits for all types of women's organi- sations reports that its workshops turned out in a single week nearly three times the quantity of uniforms they were scheduled to complete. Women who tore giving their time to war' work as- members of the Women's Voluntary Services have had a famous London dress designer ;to choose their regulations outfit ; It lis a grey -green- herring -bone dist and overcoat, with a ruby blouse and a striped scam combining those 'shades.

Perhaps the poet meant, that it ie net safe to arierloak one's stomach--espceially if one has heart disease, - 'CARE OF CHITuD'REN COUNTERFEIT � Behind our prism bars today there are a large number of men and Women who are ;answering the_roll call of the government institution be- cause they tried unsuccessfully to earn a living by the way of counter- feiting. They -copied money, patents, and other things endeavoring to make into a form of their own that which belonged to some one else. Far de- cades a number of them had carried on this illegal practise, but in the end justice caught up with them and they are paying the penalty of their crime, i r i 1 It is indeed interesting to hear one of the represeintatitiies of the law tell of their •experience with caunterfeit- ers. They point out to us that it is very often ignorance of the currency of our awin country which• enables a man engaged in this traffic to pass off raised money. The fact that the coins and bills of different denomina- tion have not the same imprint seems to make little difference to us when we are accepting money. ' How many of us could tell, offhand, just what design, is on the different coins and bills of even the Dominion of Canada. we are doing. We can make the word counterfeit apply to our lives rather than counterfeit. One - may say"I do the best I -cant" Probably that is right, but our best is spoiled by the second `I'. We t:amiot do well ill we persist in working alone. Let us say "I do the best that Jesus and I can do together,. • we will without a doubt pull the standard of Jesus down, but working with Him He will hold us up beyond the gtag'e of falling. i ,, l- F . i e Each clay of .our lives we counter- feit. We see someone doing some- thing we want • to do and we begin to follow the example, of that acne, be it good or bad. A little child in the home very often comes out with an expression which amazes and startles the parents. They know the child did not get it at home and they realize that he is imitating someone whom he has heard talk outside, In this connection children will .some- times go into other homes, ask ques- tions, and say things which no child of himself would think out, things which they have heard talked of in their own home and which the par- ents would be astounded at. The fact remains that the children are simply saying what the parents themselves had said. On the other hand children from some homes seldom repeat what is said at home. Why? Because they are taught to respect the confidence of the parents froth their early life and know that what they hear in the hone should net be repeated. In- nocent childhood would not say any- thing to hurt anyone. All it requires is just a little home guiding. Anything -which is counterfeit will almost of necessity be trade of some- thing inferior to What is being copied. How many of us have found our - , selves faced with a lead 25c piece or la 50c piece, which we have accepted 1 hurriedly and in goad faith. Sad to say these coins, at times, ,male been purposely passed on by those who had lost through them some time in the past. Can anyone who will do a thing like that expect to prosper? Perhaps the person who receives the coin is much worse off financially than the person who gives it. At any rate, it cones under the head of dishonesty. . Because we have been cheated does not meanthat we have to become a cheater or pass on some - ting which is counterfeit. We tray put on an outward ap- pearance of Christ and yet .our ac- tions and thoughts show us to be anything but followers of His. Many of us in our own homes act in such a way, that the would be ashamed to have any one see or hear us. We are taught in the Bible not to judge, that belongs to God. There is at least one person whom it is quite legal for us to judge. We may vis- ualize ourselves its the court limn of a hall of Justice. Jesus' Christ, the righteous Judge, is seated on the throne. The world, for and against Him, is represented. There is no lawyer- either to defend ow cross question. . We are the prisoner at the bar. There is no jury. The sentence is by Judge only. Something strong- er than any truth •telling• device is in use. We carnet, by any means- tell what is false. The clays of our count- erfeiting are over. We stand before Christ Jesus as we are. That will luippeti, to us someday. Why do we not in our awn minds talre ourselves, before this Ridge emery day and.' hem* what our sentence ie. It will help us to peepara for that •great Judg- ment, - which will be the last. ' It is really, a terrible thing' to not know Christ at' all, but we wonder if - our judgment will not be all tho more severe if we profess to know Him; if we talk Christ to others, giv- ing them the impression that we are followers of His and yet in oar own hearts, and by .our words and actions we are daily following the devil. What a blow it will be to those to whom we have been talking when they find out* that we have just been counterfeiters,. - Each one of us can do' better thait WHAT DDM,OCRACY IS -"Demooraey is not a slogan; not a flag,. It is a livings (t+eality; brotherhood of society of human be- ings, a banding together of .men in their common -good, if we be not pre. pdred real, if we be not prepared to put away mlbishniess and greed and exploitation, be not preparedta make same sacrifice for the common; good, then we are not democrats at all," —Sydney Post -Beard. • All tree Christians go to the Lord's Table with a .feeling 'of undeserved - nese. "Gypsy Smith" (the original) in his, sermon "Born Again" says: "It is possible to take the cup of Communion and never' hake the cup of Salvation". Dr: Alexander Whyte tells the fallowing story: • During a Communion service the great scholar "Rabbi" Duncan saw a woman with falling tears pass the communion cup untested. He left his place at the table and himself gavle the cup to the weeping woman saying "Take it, woman.; its for sinners." We are all sinners but how thankful we are that we can be saved by Grace, One evening Ohaeles Lamb and some friends were talking about some people wham they would like to meet, One mentioned Chaucer, another Sir Thomas Browne. At length the name of the lowly Nazarine was mention- ed. Following a pause Lamb said in a low gentle voice: "If Shakespeare came into the rooms we should all stand up, but if He came we would l all kneel." ROW much happier we would be if we would each one ori tis kneel before the meek and lowly Jesus—our Saviour! Won't we do. it? ATo every an there openeth ratway and ways and a way; And the High Soul climbs the High way, And the low Soul gropes the low; And in between, in the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openetls, A High way and a low, And every man decideth The Way his Soul shall go." "PEG" WHY OUR SOLDIERS SALUTE (Midland' Free Press) Did you ever wonder why British soldiers end sailors salute by raising. the right hand to the forehead? Here is bow it all began: Tit the year 1588 Her Majesty's Navy had defeated the Great Spanish Armada; • and then came the reward's of victory --prizes from the. hand of na less than good Queen Bess her- self! The officer in charge was a man of tact and resource. "On account of the dazzling loveliness of - Her Majesty," his orders read, "all seamen, upon receiving their prizes, should shield their eyes with their right hand." Fora pictures we have keen of Queen Bess we imagine the real reason • for shielding the eyes was not her dazzling loveliness but her appalling ugliness. Now if it had been our own Queen Elizabeth there would havle been ample excuse for such an order! - BUILD UP THE CHILDREN CHATHAM, Ont. Nlrs.

The red "A" filter makes skies quite dark; is good for special effects. r' 0 YO'Q use color filters in your picture taking? It's surprising the effect these little gadgets have in improving the quality of snap- shots—and they're worth a try for anybody who wants to make his pic- tures better. With the right filters you can obtain more desirable rendering of colored subjects in 3Sour black and- white shots ...retain clouds in out- door pictures darken skies for dramatic interest ... even obtain beautiful moonlight effects on water. scenes in the daytime! If yours is a box camera or inex- pensive folding model, you should have a Alter which is medium yellow in color. This may be described ebn- ply as a "color filter," or by the num- ber "K-2." If you use a finer camera with . anastigmat lens, you should also have a "G" filter (deep yellow) and an "A" filter (light red);' but if you decide to get just one filter at the start, choose the medium yellow. leach of these filters produces a different effect. The medium yellow or K-2 is a "correction" filter. Pic- tures taken through it show an im- proved rendering of tone values, compared to shots taken without a filter. Clouds stand out, just about as the eye saw them in the original scene. And all colored objects are reproduced more nearly in their cor- rect relative brightnesses. • The "5" aud "A" are "contrast" filters, for Special effects. The "G" darkens a blue sky considerably, and is useful for dramatic renderings. The "A" filter darkens blue still more -so that, for example, a white building can be made to stand out against an almost black ,sky in a pic- ture. These filters also lighten ob- jects of their own colors, malting them appear brighter -than -normal in. the print, • Each filter calls for some increase in exposure, depending on the film you use. Instructions covering this point are generally packed with the filter, and are quite easy to follow. , An exposure factor of 2, for example, - simply • means .to double the expo- sure. This would be accomplished by using the next larger lens open--; ing—such as, f/8 instead of f/11. Filters are simple to use ... and can add materially- to the quality and interest of your pictures. No camera hobbyist's kit is complete without'them. 254 John van Guilder '.
