A Column Prepared Especially for Women—
But Not Forbidden to Men
While we, with the rest of the
Etiipire, mourn a King, we also
mourn a Man, for it was George, the
Man, whom, we had learned to love.
it was the husband, the father, the
head of the family who had been cal-
-led to a high position, a position car-
- vying large responsibilities, which he
-never shirked, shouldering them as
they came and ' doing the very, best
he could with them, no matter at
what personal cost.
We liked to hear his voice, kind
and fatherly, with which he addres-
sed us as we sat about on a Christ-•
mas morning, waiting for the sound
of it. We liked to think that even as
we gathered in families on that great
Festival Day, he was also surrounded
by his family, his wife, his children
•and grandchildren. We were thril-
. led last June ,to hear his Jubilee
message, it seemed to bring him near
to us. Ve did not think of him as
a king, we thought of hintas a dear-
ly loved I Mid trusted friend. •But we
knew that when some kingly duty
-called he would take that up and do
it as it needed to be done. That was
it, we trusted him. And now he is
gone, the kind, fatherly voice is, stil-
led the hands are folded, the lease of
night."
A merry twinkle lighted Mr. Blod"'
gett's eyes, and his wife was puzzled.
He had been so concerned about the
outside attractions' tempting the
children away from home. Robert
also sensed something. "But Dad's
got an idea," he said, which set the
two girls to giggling.
Mr. Blodgett remained unperturbed
under the raillery. "Yes," he finally
said, "I really have an idea, and I
think you'll like it It's a miser-
able night out; so if' -you'll call off
your dates, I'll share the idea with
yon after supper.". • .
life has run out, and we mourn as
only folk can mourn for a, friend.
We are glad We could keep him so
long. Those years since his last ill-
ness are really so much to the good,
for then we had almost given hint
up. But they have been good years,
although no doubt they have been
somewhat -weary years. to hire, with
diminished strength and ever-grow-
ing cares. No wonder the tired
heart gave out. We must not grudge
him his rest..
And the new King, our bright,
smith* Prince, who has sobered so
Much in the last ten years. Seeing
the responsibilities which were con-
fronting him, he has been taking
things very seriously, I am sure ev-
ery woman's heart will go out to hila
in sympathy and we shall be send-
ing upa little :prayer for hila from
time to time, that he may be given
strength for the great tasks ahead of
him. That he will do well, I have no
doubt, but he is but a man and he
will need the prayers of his people.

CURE FOR DULL EVENINGS
This had been the wettest month
in many years. And now it was rain-
ing again. Mr. Blodgett looked up
from the pages, of his newspaper
with an affectionate glance at his
wife, who was setting the table for
dinner.
"Some weather," he commented.
Mrs. Blodgett nodded assent. "I
hope it doesn't make our problem any
worse," she said,
The "problem" came catapulating
• down the stairway. It consisted of
Robert, nineteen; Doris, fifteen and
winsome Ann, ten.
"Say, moat," shouted Robert,
"can't you speed up dinner a bit.
I've got to meet the bunch down at
Bill's house." •
"Me, too," chimed in Doris. "I've
got •a date, too,"
In monkeylike imitation carte the
treble of Ann. "Grand movie down
at the Pantheon. A murder mys-
tery!"
Mrs. Blodgett gazed helplessly at
her children. Aside, to her husband,
she remarked, "They're out every

SIGHT -SA irING
`Throughout the world, there are
rn'iilIiens who cannot see; in Canada
the number runs into several thous-
ands. Most of this blindness could
have been prevented. Are the chil-
• dren' of our 'present generation go-
hrg to avoid a similar catastrophe?
Total blindness, or serious perman-
ent damage to sight, occurs as .a re-
sult of ophthalmia neonatorum,
commonly known s as "babies' sore
eyes." • This unfortunate happening
comes, from certain- germs gaining
entrance to the eyes at the time of
birth: Inflammation follows, with
destruction .or damage to parts of the
eye which are essential to sight.
Fortunately cases can be prevent-
ed by the use of a prophylactic treat -
tient applied .to the eyes at birth.
This treatment is simple and in many
places, ,it is required by. law as a
routine procedure. During more re-
cent years, since this preventive me-
thod has been widely used, there has
been '.'a remarkable degrease; in
blindness from this cause.
Every, adequate school health ser-
vice provides for routine vision test-,
ing of an school children, The child
Who cannot see properly is not like -I
' ly to make satisfactory progress in
school. The child may' appear to be
stupid; he is apt to fail in his work;
he may suffer from headaches , or
other physical discomfort which ar,
ises from eye -strain. This .condition
of affairs may be the explanation of
the, child' S becoming a problem in his
attitudes towards school and life in
general. Properly fitted glasses will
With the dining room set to rights,
she family gathered about the table.
Father produced a good-sized card-
board box, . ceremoniously removed
the, cover and 1et fall upon the table
a shower of black cubes, marked
with the raised letters of the alpha-
bet. '
Ib was with utter disgust that Ro-
bert spoke. "Here I give up a date
and. Dad dishes up alphabet blocks.
Say Dad, what is this, a nursery?"
• The impertinent exaniple of their
brother led the girl's to commence a
chatter of protest, when the merry
look on their father's face again a-
roused their curiosity.'
"If you will all just be quiet long
enough to let me talk, I'll tell you
about these letters you call alphabet
blocks. This is a game and it is cal-
led Anagrams."
"What's an anagram?" asked ten-
year -old Ann.
"According to Webster," said fath-
er "it is 'the change of one word in-
to another by the transposition of its
letters.'"
Doris leaned on the table with both
elbows. "That sounds interesting,
Dad. How do you play it?"
"Well, each of us draws a letter,
and as you find words on the table
comprising four or more letters, you
give the child proper sight in most
cases, and so overcome his other dif-
ficulties arising out of his inability
to see properly.
Many school boards do, and all
should, provide for sight -saving clas-
ses.' Started in England, these clas-
ses now are found hi every civilized
country. ,They serve to furnish edu-
cation while conserving the sight of
children whose visio;i is already 'ser
iously defective. They prepare these
children to grow up into self-support-
ing adults rather than being 'depen-
dent with all that this means to the
happiness of the individual child and.
later, adult, as well as to society a:.
s whole.
In the case of injuries to the eyes,
more eyes are lost from failure to
secure proper treatment , promptly
than from the injuries themselves. it
follows that an injury to the eye, no
matter how simple it may 'seem
should receive skilled care and that
without any delay.
The, routine treatment of the eyes
of the new-born should never be om
itted; the eye -sight of children should
be tested and corrected by properly
fitted glasses; sight -conservation
classes should be available to ail
whose sight demands special educa-
tional facilities; eye injuries and eye
disease should never be neglected.
This is a practical program for sight-
saving, -Is it not worth while: to• pre.

Our Recipes for Today
We like to encourage the use
of apples in the household, be
cause we feel that people would be
healthier, both in body and poc-
ketbook if they would use more
of the fine home-grown apples
which can be procured so cheaply
and plentifully all winter in On-
tario. Here are some recipes
which may help to bring about
such an end:
CANDIED APPLES
Choose apples of varieties which
do not break in cooking—Spy, De-
licious, 'Dolman Sweet or Russet
will be satisfactory.
Peel and remove core with a
corer and slice apples crosswise in
one-half inch slices or lengthwise
in one-eighth inch slices, or out in
one-half inch cubes.' Make a syr-
up using:
2 cups sugar
1-8 cup white corn syrup
1 cup water.
fBoil three mm
utes then add sur -
i ient fruit to cover bottom of
the kettle. Cook until clear. Re-
move and drain well. Then set a-
side to dry. Add more fruit to
syrup and repeat the process.
After second boiling add three
tablespoons boiling water . to sy-
rup. When fruit is dry roll in
fruit sugar. Syrup may be tinted
red, green or yellow if desired.
Canned pears, plums, peaches or
apricots if thoroughly ,drained.
may be candied by this method.
APPLETS
Cook any red 'skinned varlet?
of apples without peeling in suffi-
etent water to cover. Drain end
!Hake jelly from the juice.
Press the pulp through; a fruit
press or coarse sieve.: Allow ' 1
cup sugar to each cup pulp, boil
slowly 15 minutes stirring often
to prevent sticking. Spread ill
a pan which has been rinsed in
`,old water. Let stand 24 hours.
Cut in cubes and roll in fruit sug-
ar. These improve when stored
two or three weeks, Colour may
be added, but if red apples are
used the natural colour is a
pleasing phtic.
CANDIED CARROT,
Scrape, small carrots and cut in
quarters lengthwise. •Cook until
tender. Make a syrup using the
water in which the carrots were
cooked, and allowing two cups
sugar and 1-4 cup white corn sy-
rup and 1-2 lemon to 1 cup of liq-
uid. Cook until carrots are clear.
Drain and dry, roll in sugar anti
pack between Iayers of waxed pa-

may claim, the word as yours. If you
can change your own or your oppon-
ent's word by the addition of a let-
ter, youcapture the word. The play-
er who first forms ten words, wins,"
All recollection of outside dates
vanished. Each one drew a letter
and the five heads bent over the tab-
le whereon lay the black cubes, five
of thein face up—an I, an R, a G. an,
N, and a B, Mother was first to re-
cognize a word.
"Ring!" she cried out, and the
cubes comprising the word went to
her. •
Robert refrained from drawing a
new letter. "Well, mom, Pll just
take that word away from you and
make 'grinr "
Everyone laughed. It wasthe
first family laugh ensemble in
months, Then Robert reached forth
and drew an A.
"Your turn, Ann,", said father en-
couragingly to his youngest.
"Well," she chirped, "if I use that
B that was on the table all the .time,
I can take Bob's 'grin' away and.
make 'bring'."
"Good for Ann," exclaimed every-
body, except Robert. He sat some-
what crestfallen at being outwitted
by the little sister.
After drawing a K, Ann watched
Doris study the "bring" which lay
before her, so proudly captured from
Robert.
"Not so fast, little sister, not so
fast," said Doris. "I'll just take
your 'bring' home with me with that
A on the table."
"What are you making out of
'bring' with an A?" asked Ann won-
deringly.
"Just that nice little word 'baring.'
And I'll leave that useless K on the
table for father to worry about"
"No such word as 'baring," argued
Ann. ,
Out came the. long -neglected dic-
tionary. Doris, verb forms fresh
from recent school assignments, tri-
umphantly pointed out the participal
form, of "bare."
All eyes centered on the fifth
player. Mr. Slodget quietly and non-
chalantly swept "baring" towards his
place, aloi'(g with! the despised K,
and revealed "barking."
Again everyone laughed heartily.
Robert cried out, "Say, this is great!
Dad, turn up your letter and give me
the next chance."
Mr. Blodgett turned up an E, and,
without hesitation, changed .his own
"barking" to breaking."
The game increased in speed as
the players became more proficient
and alert."Late" underwent the met-
amorphosis of becoming "stale" with
an S; "lathes" with an II; "stealth"
with a T; and finally emerged as
"athletes" by the addition of an E.
Amid gales of laughter, ,the play
went on, permitting no thought of
petty biekerings or desire for outside
distraction. Interest centered on Ann's
making "gains" out of "snag" with
an I; Robert felt inordinately proud
of "assign" with which he captured
"gains" from Ann with an S; Mother
felt as young as Doris when she
made "signals" from Robert's "as-
sign" with an L; Doris experienced a
wave of affection for mother as she
changed "signals" into '`sailings"
with an I; father, with a happier
smile than hedisplayed had
for
months, looked ,like a pouter pigean,
as he swept the letters of "sailings"
hitt
b]
Into a jumbled d mass before
f
anwith an S, brought forth Isla * t,^
glass."
The evening had slipped away.
Father, mother and children had ex-
perienced the peace that passes un-
derstanding in the renewed protect-
ing love and life of the family cir-
cle. The "problem" o f "gangs",
dates and movies had vanished be-
neath the, magic wand of family eon^
radeship and anagrams.
Father sat flushedand triumphant,
his ten words completed with "la-
goon."
"Can't possibly change that," sigh-
ed Doris, who had nine words and
had hoped to win the laurels.
"I'm hungry again," chirped Ann,
"so hungry I could eat sausage."
"I've got it!" cried Robert excitedly.
"Got 'what?" all queried, including
father.
"Your lagoon'. I'll take it with a
B."
"And what, pray tell, can one pos-
sibly make
os-siblytnake out of "lagoon' with a B?"
asked father, apprehensive.. of his vic-
tory. n
"What Ann wants to eat, 'Bologna'."

WHEN EARTH'S LAST PICTURE

When . eartli's last picture is painted

ARTIFICIAL TEETH FROM
PALESTINE
'Believe it or not' but Canada' gets
artificial teeth from Palestine, along.
with oranges. In turn, Palestine
takes from Canada, in order of value,
wheat flour, box shooks, canned, fish,
upper leather, fresh appl.es,wearing
apparel, electric apparatus, a'utouto-
bile parts and rubber,,'. tires, fresh
peaches, toilet soap. ' Canada in-
creased her trade with Palestine, in
1034, over the previous year, by over
100 per cent.
And those that were good shall be
happy: they shall sit in a golden
chair;
They shall splash on a ten -league can-
vas with brushes of cornet's hair.
They shall find real saints to draw
from—Magdaline, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a
sitting, and never be tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,
and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of working, and
each in his separate star, •
Shall paint the Thing as he sees it,
for the God of Things as They are.

Beneath Whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—

An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
Far -called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight of power, we
loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee
