A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA CONQUEST OF TYPHOID FEVER Typhoid fever is a preventable dis- ease. Its history in this and other countries shows that it can be stamped out. As typhoid fever is an expensive disease, its average duration being eight .weeks, the elimination of ty- phoid would be a great economic sav- ing, How can, the disease be prevented? 1. Ey, the use of pure water, pas- teurized milk from well-managed dairies and the use of clean food. 2. By vaccination of yourself and the members of your family against typhoid. 3. By having all cases reported at once to the health authorities so that necessary steps against the infection of others may be taken. 4. By the immediate disinfection and removal of the dischargesof per- sons ill of typhoid and their disposal in such a way that they cannot in- fect food or water. 5. 13y keeping flies away from.food. A friend's young daughter had just been selected as one of the represen tatives of her school at the corona- tion. Her father, wise to the value of prevention, was on his way to the health department when the writer met him. Be'wes seeking a supply of 'typhoid vaccine to have adminis- PAGE 7 COOKING ASPARAGUS, THE ARISTOCRAT The tender shoots of asparagus contain all the freshness of spring and should be cooked as soon as pos- sible after cutting, because this aris- tocrat of vegetables is so delicate that, as soon as it is cut' from the underground stem, the fibre begins to toughen and the flavour deterior- ates. A few tested methods of serv- ing asparagus are suggested by the Fruit Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Asparagus Short Cake - 12 stalks asparagus 1 cup cream sauce 6 baking powder biscuits. Cut asparagus in one inch pieces and cook in salted water 15 minutes. Drain end keep hot. To prepare the cream sauce, use 3 tablespoons but- ter, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 cup aspara- gus water, half cup milk, one-quar- ter teaspoon salt, and pepper. Melt the butter, add flour, and stir until it bubbles; gradually add the hot water in which the asparagus was cooked, then add the milk. Stirand cook un- til smoothly thickened. Add season- ings. I Split and butter hot baking powder biscuits made from one's own favor- ite recipe. Arrange half biscuits on serving plate, pile generously with asparagus, pour cream sauce over each, place other half of biscuits on top, butered side up. Cover with as- paragus. Use cream sauce and sprin- kle with grated cheese. Place in the oven a minute to reheat .before serv- ing. Economy Soup— To one cup of asparagus liquid add half cup cold mashed potatoes, and cook together five minutes, then rub through a sieve. Melt one teaspoon of butter in the saucepan, add one teaspoon of flour and blend well. Add strained liquid: Stir until smooth. Add one cup milk and stir until hot. This quantity serves four persons. Asparegus Rarebit— This is an excellent method of us- ing left -over asparagus. 1 tablespoon butter Half cup milk 1 tablespoon tomato catsup 2 cups cooked asparagus cut in pieces. 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup grated cheese Half teaspoon salt. Melt butter in double boiler. Add flour. When blended, add milk slow- ly, stir until thickened, stirring con- stantly. Add cheese, catsup, salt, and asparagus. When cheese is melt- ed, serve on toast squares. Serves four. tered to his daughter before she be- gan her journey. Sucha vaccination ordinarily protects the individual a- gainst the disease for from two . to three years. As it is made from dead typhoid germs, it is harmless and a valuable measure of prevention. •Ty- phoid fever' was rarer in the Canadian Forces during the War than in the civil population at home because the soldiers were vaccinated against the dffection. The discharges from a typhoid pa- tient, if not carefully disposed of, may reach the local water supply and car- ry the disease to users of the water., Milk may be, infected from a similar source; flies may carry the germs to 'one's food. Certain persons appar- ently quite well, carry the germs of typhoid in their intestines or urinary tract for a long time and many cases of the fever occur through the un- washed hands of such persons, Stich are 'called "typhoid carriers" and should be under the supervision of the health officer for, in the capacity of cooks, waiters and the like, they form a distinct menace to the public health. Questions concerning, health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation,' 184 College St., Termite, will he answered' personally by letter. . FRIENDSHIP'S ROAD Friendship is a chain of gold .: Shaped in God's all -perfect mold • Each link a smile, a laugh, a tear, A grip of the hand, a word of cheer, As steadfast as the 'ages roll, Binding closer soul to soul. No matter how far, or heavy the load, Sweet is' the journey on friendship's road. " —J. B. Downie. HEALTH About Alexander Chuhaidin When Alexander Chuhaldin stopped off for a brief visit to Canada in the course of a world tour and found himself unable to proceed further on account of visa difficulties, Canada unknowingly gained a brilliant musi- cian.. Mr. Chuhaldin, •violinist and conductor, at once settled in Canada and during the last ten years he has gained an enviable reputation in this country• and the United States. In 1938 Mr. Chuhaldirwas appoint- ed by the national radio system to conduct a string orchestra for its coast to coast network audience. "Me- lodic Strings," as the organization was called, was at, once acclaimed by the public and the press as one of the best on the air. It was only a short time later that the officials of the National Broadcasting Company ask- ed to have the program as an inter- national exchange feature and since then "Melodic Strings" has become one of the outstanding radio programs on this continent. Tiny Country Church is Honored by Famous Singer Earle Spicer, the famous Canadian baritone who is being presented week- ly from the Halifax studios in CBC national network programs does not, in his success, forget the little things, Every summer, despite heavy de- mands that are made on his services, he spends two months with his par- ents on their modest farm in Berwick in the Annapolis Valley. There, at the little country church which he at- tended as a boy and where his par- ents worship, he goes every Sunday to sing to the congregation. On these occasions his presence swells the church to overflowing. Nor do offers of engagements from larger Maritime churches+gmpt him, He refuses them all; This display of humanity and humility and forsaking engagements in order to be with his parents, is an indication of how likeable a person he is. National PrograConference The national program conference of the Genadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion, attended by CBC program execu- tives from coast to coast, was heir CARE OP CHILDREN N the week of. June 6 at Ottawa. The deliberations Iasted for five days. We hope to have some interesting" an- nouncements to make in our next column in connection with the confer- ence. Designer, of New Coin to Speak. Emmanuel Hahn, Canadian sculp- tor, of Toronto, who designed sever- al of the new coins recently issued by the Royal Mint at Ottawa, will be in. terviewed bereCharles Jennings at 9.30 p.m. EST on Friday, June 25th, dur- ing a broadcast to be heard over the national network of the CBC. Mr. Hahn is well-known for many of the memorials in sculpture and stone which he has been commissioned to create throughout the country. Of his coinage designs, the one of the schooner on the twenty-five cent piece has attracted, perhaps, the most at- tention. Description of the Principle of Health Insurance. The people of British Columbia, during the election of June. 1, voted in favor of the principle of health in- surance. A referendum on this sub- jest had been submitted to the elec- tors.

Sedgewick in a broadcast talk from Vancouver on Thursday, June 24, at 9.30 p.m. EST, over the CBC national hook-up.

THIS is an address to camera- owning parents to remind them of a few facts relative to the senti- mental value of photography and the passage of time. Self evident though they may be, these facts are too often forgotten.. The first is that in the case of parents the most'treaeured of all photographs are those of their ehi1- dren. When the children grow up, photographic records of how they looked as children become with the. years more and more precious. Any doubt about that? Fact number two is that parents who aro camera owners have the means of obtaining pictures of their ehil:dren at any, time throughout those childhood years. The third and most important is that since Time is not a motion pic- ture reel that can be repeated or turned back to a given scene, too many parents let Time slip by with- out taking the pictures that will make the record of their children's constantly changing appearance. Billie, aged ten, is quite a different looking person from the one he was at eight, six, four and two. If years. are allowed to pass without pictures' being taken of him, memories of bow he looked at different ages sur- rive only vaguely. Remember that mental pictures fade and ,pariah but images on photographic paper en- dure. Moreover, Billie, too, will cher- ish those pictures, anti so will his future) wife and their children. Here are some important facts, too, relative to the picture -taking.. The most interesting and revealing pictures of ` children are informal ones, showing their natural manner of doing things, their unconscious attitudes and unpremeditated poses, taken unawares. These are the ones you like most to look at, :Such'pic• tures are easy' to obtain outdoors when the children are at play intent upon the fun, they are having. Now, at those times, it takes only a few mometee to slip out of the. house, camera in hand, and snap them, Don't let the children discover your purpose if you can help it, because they will most surely stop every- thing with a shouted, "Wait a min- ute! Mummie's going to take our pitchers"'and start to pose. The "pitohers" may not seem any- thing remarkable when a day or•two later they come back from the'photo• finisher because they merely show the .children just as you now see them every day. But walt a few years! Then they will be priceless! Don't neglect to get these snap- shots from time to time, and particu- larly when birthdays come around, and 'don't forget to date the prints, Remember: it only takes a few min- utes to step out with your camera and obtain these precious remem- brances. • 135 John van Guilder THIS MODEST CORNER.

ENGLISH VIOLETS Along a country -garden path I see her bending low, Still seeking here, with radiant face, Where buds of purple grow. In early May' when growing leaves Make borders, green and new, She knelt and touched, with reverent hands, The violets sweet with dew. So quietly she came at' dawn, In gracious mood for prayer, When a brown thrush sings a hymn of joy To lighten every care, The cherry trees by the picket -fence, Are white as drifted snow, Where the garden runs -- a lovely sight— To the edge of the currant row. White lily -bells toll their sweetness still; Red tulips cup the night; The jonquils and the bleeding-hearts Are treasures of delight. The orchard bloom on every side Makes this a sanctum rare, And the scent of English violets Is incense on the air. She often gathered dainty blooms, In love and tenderness, To cheer a lonely neighbor with A gift of loveliness. I linger here, for beauty holds My heart in simple grace, Where mystic tints of violets Brought Dawn to her loved face, —Leila Bishopp Martin.

JUDGE NOT 0 Saviour, in these times of stress, They meekness grant, thy pity vast, Lest in our over righteousness We may forget, and proudly cast A stone. Lift us above the sordid things To Thy pure heights of love and light, Where we contact the hidden spriuge That cleanse our minds and clear our sight— We pray. Elizabeth Bel), KINDRED THINGS They mean so much, Life's tender Kindred Things, A springtime flower, a bird than sweetly sings, The rippling laughter of a Iittle child, A baby prayer so simple, undefiled, A mother's kiss, and home lights warm and red: A tender kiss, and love words softly, said, An old refrain, a song of long ago, ' But now an echo passing to and fro, • A faded picture mellowed new by; time, A childhood story gadded into rhyme, All these are hallowed things we hold r, Sweet,so sacrdeaed, lovely dreams of yes- teryear. Geraniums red, an ivy clinging vine, Old garden walls, where rambling roses twine, Or rooms with well loved hangings there, A book or two beside a well -worts chair. Love letters tied with faded ribbon blue, Lines penned my old-time friendships tried and true. Life's Kindred Things, that keep the soul aflame, That spark of courage burning still the same. A. locket curl, a tiny baby shoe, A. school book with a poem that we knew, Where is the heart that holds no treasure rare, ' No precious tender memory hidden there, It is these things though simple they may be, We love for their own sweet simplic- ity, Assured though life niay have its sor- did ondid side, It has its Kindred Things, that still abide. —Lillian M. Sachse, THE SMALLER JOYS Give me the simple joys; the wild bird's song, A rote or two to cherish as my own, A dwelling small where constant love is known, And I'll not murinur that life's way is long. Give me a sheltering tree, a patch of • lawn, A few good friends to share my meiny..hours, To walk with me and bend above my bowers, And I'll rejolee to greet the coining dawn. Give me some tasks to do; not lead- ership, Nor brilliant effort with its larger gain, But teaks which serve a need and soften. pain. And I can face the world with smil- -ing lip. Give me' this • small success; to play the friend, To held'my post with courage, and to be Free• from the chains of pomp and luxury, And I can walk, glad -hearted to the end.
