THE STRONG ONES
For easy lives they do not pray;
`but for an increase of their strength
-to battle bravely day by day through
'out the journey's length. They do
not plead for some small task which
will not worry them or itk; but this
the boon they humbly ask --the pow-
er
ower to conquer work. • .
They shoulder burdens with a
-laugh, they do not .shrink from grief
and pain. With faith for friend and
hope for staff, they take the road
• again. The strong ones ask not for
the earth where only joy and good]
ness thrive; they find so much of
sterling worth, they're glad to be
alive. ,
For miracles they've no desire;
-they are content each day to plod.
'For warmth and light, the spirit's
`fire; for goal, the living God. They
• are the miracles, the strong. And

character in some gallant soul who
thus stands up 'to life and refuses to

the weakling goes down to defeat.
There is something inspiring in
the thought of a victory over diffi-
culties, something that brings the
best out and makes us fight on, even
against odds, when the inspiration
of that thought grips us. I think
that was a good interpretation of
that beatitude, I'm going to keep

THE USE OF MEAT
Nature works with a large factor
-of safety, Wo have two lungs and
two kidneys, yet it is possible for us
to get along with one, or even a part
of one of these. We should, there-
fore, not be too much impressed by
statements as to the least amount of
meat required in the . diet, and pre-
sume that any excess is necessarily
harmful. •
So much is being said with regard
!to the value of vitamins 'and miner:
als that we are apt to forget that
proteins are just as necessary an
they ever were. Protein is needed
' in the 'diet of the growing child to
provide building •material, and In
that of the adult to replace worn
out tissues. The growing child, be-
cause he is growing, requires rela-
tively more protein than does the
adult.
The sources of protein are meat,
fish, fowl, eggs, milk, cheese, nuts,
beans, and other vegetables. The
primary purpose, of, meat in the diet
is to supply the body with protein.
Atthe same time, it does furnish
'minerals, fats and vitamins.
Although the foods we have men-
tioned do :contain protein, the type
of protein is not the same, „in any
two foods. It has, been found that
the proteins from'" animal' sburtes
meet the needs, of . the, body . mouse
completely than do the vegetable
proteins. For this reason, it is not
,advisable to rely upon vegetables
-entirely to meet the protein require-
- merits of the body.

SPICES FROM THE INDIES
The phrase "spices from the In-
dies" carries tis back to the days
when spices were highly valued, be-
ing classed along with gold. The
island of Grenada in the British
West Indies is the largest producer
of spices in those islands. It is the
seat of government of .the islands
comprised within the Windward
group and has an area of 120 square
miles, with a population of 81,000,
colored
ricin
the
95 per cent comprising
population. Of late the island of
Grenada has gone in for the commer-
cial production of cocoa, cotton anti
citrus fruits, which, along with the
epiees, forte the chief exports.
It is desirable that meals be at-
tractive. It is true that no one has
died from a diet because the diet
was merely monotocous. Our in-
terest is in making life worth while,
not a mere existence, and part of
making life worth while 'is to make
meals enjoyable. Food that is eaten
with relish, under pleasant surround,
ings, is more valuable in the nutri-
tion of the body.
Tho flavour of meat makes the
meal more appetizing to most people,
Without meat, meals are apt to be
monotonous. There is no ,scientific
evidence to support the common crit-
ical statements made regarding
meat, and as to the ill effects which
are attributed to its use inthe diet.
Practically, it appears that the
best way 'is to use neat inmodera-
tion as part of a balanced diet, se-
eurecl through the use of a wide'var=
iety of foods. Meat once a day, re-
placed by .fish or fowl according to
the desire of the individual 'or fame
ily, •is a goodrule to follow. Meat
is an expensive food, and where the
income is limited, care must he taken
not to spend too .;much of the food
budget on meat; cheaper cuts of
meat, properly cooked, are just as
valuable. It is much 'better to re-
duce the amount of meat than to di,
'iininish the quantity of milk and
vegetables used.

A WIND THAT SINGS
There is a wind thot sings of country
things,
Of heathered hills and brown -eyed
brooks,
Of golden scents that wander all
amazed
Among the flowers, that open wide
their shining eyes. '
And through the city streets I softly
draw these country friends
And trail them happily along my
way,
Thanking the wind, that gently sings
of country things." '

WINTER' GARDEN
I try to make a summer -tine
Upon my window ledge;
The hostile snow incrusts the pane,
The gale shrieks through the ledge.
A bitter day against the glass—
But in my quiet room
Defiantly the lilies flower,
And red begonias bloom.
Perhaps when winter comes to me
My heart will learn the way
To blossom recklessly as though
Life were a summer's day.

My dog and I are old, too old for
roving; ,
Man, whose young passion sets` the
spindrift flying
Is soon too lame to march, 'too cold

I take the book and gather to the

Turning old yellow leaves. Minute by
minute
The clock ticks to my heart; a with,
erect wire
Moves a thin ghost of music in the
spinet.
I cannot sail your seas, I cannot
wander
Your mountains, nor your downlands,
nor your valleys
Ever again, nor share the battle

Where your young knight the broken
squadron rallies,
Only stay quiet, while My mind re-
members
The beauty of fire from the beauty
of embers.

I LONGED FOR LOVE
I longed for love, and, eager to dis-

Its abiding place, I wandered far

And as, forlorn, I. sought the lone

Unrecognized, love journeyed at

expended
unrewarded search from shore

Peace welcomed ine where dwelt
my peace of yore.

Lord, -we are the Youth of every land

Pleading for peace;
We are the ones who will be sacri,

Unless wars cease;
We are the ones elected, Lord, to

A price too high.
You gave us life, and it is not your
will
That we should die.
Open the blind eyes of our leaders,
Lord,
In every land;
Open their hearts and minds and
make them wise
To understand
That ivar is sad, and horrible, and
wrong,
And useless quite;
That we, the clean, strong Youth of
earth,
Have the good right
To life and love and happiness and
peace.
We would not be
Killers of hien—we

Clean -handed, free
From war with all its horrors, lust,
and greed,
Its dark despair.

war --
This is Dint prayer.

Into the future, darn with clouds,

And slowly groping, stumbling, fall-

And go, undaunted, on and on alone,
Lo, this is Hope.

GODh1RIOH: With the transfer. to
Guelph reformatory of three prison-
ers last week, the population of Hu-
ron County jail was reduced to one,
the lowest in the •experience of the
present governor, J. B. Reynolds, and
believed to be the lowest since the
;fail was built 93 years ago. As a
matter of fact, the lone prisoner
had the option of paying.a fine on a
liquor charge, but preferred doing
the term. Otherwise the 'traditional
white flag would have been hoisted
on the jail flagpole. Not in the.
memory of the oldest citizen has the
comity jail ever been without a pris-
oner : and the white.. flag ceremony
was being looked forward to with
both interest and pride. Among
prisoners transferred was Gordon
Young, defaulting county treasurer,
sentenced to two years.
