No doubt because material things seen. to be the ,yardstick by which we measure success, we usually pay too much attention to accomplish, assents and too little to the quality of the eh'aracter we s e building up while we achieve. And we make no doubt the character is by far the most important of the two. We have all known people, both men and women, whom the world would by no •means account as Mak- ing a great success of life, whom we hold in high regard and whose lives we should be very loath to pronounce as failures. On the other hand we have alsoknown some people whom the would, snore or less generally, would count a success, having achiev- ed wealth or position to a large de, gree, but whose characters we could not admire or approve. Then, of course,there are others, and perhaps these are really in the majority, who manage to achieve both. They make a fair success of gaining wealth, perhaps only moder- ate wealth, or a high position amongst their fellows, and also man- age to develope worthy characters, to whom we gladly accord our hom- age. But, after all, the making of a life is so much more important than just making a living, even that does seem to keep mast or us busy, that we might with profit spend a bit more thought upon it. * * * I am not much for titles and hen - ours of that sort, but if we are gos ing to have them I am glad the ad- visers of Iiis Majesty have decided to include women in the lists of thos, honoured.

Edited by FLEEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary GRANT MEASLES A reed spotted rash appearing on top of what has been thought to be a common cold, lasting for a week or so, is likely measles. This,' however, is not always the case because a red spotted rash may and does occur 'in other diseases, such as smallpox; for example. Measles wasknown to the ancient world; we find it disctibed in the ear -i Best of medical writings. Today, it I is lcnown throughout the • civilized world as a children's disease. All are susceptible to measles, and as expos- ure likely occurs early itilife,,.pate cularly among residents of congested' areas, the disease is seen most fre- quently 10 children, although it'is'by nomeans uncommon among adults. During the world war, it was not- ed• that men brought into military camps from rural oyeas frequently contracted measles; never having' had the disease n•reviously. The mea battalions recruited from the cities living lid -the same camps, escaped.tbe disease; these latter had practically all had measles as children. Second. attacks of measles do occur, but they are comparatively rare. The specific cause of measles has notbeetsdiscovered, Measles is one of the most readily spread of the communicable diseases, and it is die• ficult to control because it is iiifec- tions before the rash appears, when the running nose inflamed eyes, the cough and the fever are believed to be an ordinary cold. •• The younger the child, the more serious is the attack of measles. The younger the 'child, the greater likeli- hood is there that the attack will be fatal or that it will :be followed by serious complications. Itis 'for these every reasonable precaution to pro- tect their younger children. The common belief that every child must have measles, and the sooner the better is fraught with grave danger and leads to much needless suffering and wastage of young lives. To post- pone the occurrence of measles mitil the child is at least five years old should be the aim of all who are res sponsible for safeguarding the health of :children. Practically, this means that the child who has what appears to be e eald, or who is indisposed, should be kept away from other children. The best place for such a child is in bed, this both inhis own interests and for the welfare of others. Neglected colds lead to serious' trouble. Mea- sles and other :complaints begin as ordinary colds, During the past few years, wr have learned that the blood of pat- ients who have recovered from n.ea- sles-human convalescent serum will, when injected, confer a temp pessary immunity or resistance to measles • in the person injected, In the absence - of convalescent .serum, the whole blood of the parents' is us- ed, ,for they, as children, will likely have had the disease. Both meth- ods are safe and valuable isi protect- ing temporarily the young or siokly child who has been exposed to the disease. Because measles so often leaves a trail" of damage, the child who las recovered should be examined several months after recovery, to, ensure that any damage may be found and treat- e'd. .

"THE LIFE, OF OUR LORD' by Charles Dickens CHAPTER THE NINTH The feast of the Passover being now almost come; Jesus said to two: of his disciples, Peter and John, "Go into the city of Jerusalem, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him home, and say to him, 'the Master says where is the guest -.chamber, where he can eat the Passover with his Disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room, furnished. There, make ready the supper." • The two disciples found that it happened as Jesus ' had said; and having met the man with the pitcher of water, and having followed him home, and having been shewn the room, they prepared the supper, and Jesus and the other ten apostles came at the usual time, and they all sat down to partake of it together. I is always called The Last Sup- per, because this was the last time that Our Saviour ate and drank with his Disciples. And he took bread from the table, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to them; and he took the cup of Wine, and blessed it, and drank, and gave it to them, saying "De this in remembrance of Me!" And when they had finished supper, and had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives. There, Jesus told them that he would be seized that night, and that they would all leave hint alone, and would think only of their own safety Peter said, earnestly, he never would. for. one. "Before the cock crows," returned Our Saviour, "you will deny rade thrice." But Petet answered "No Lord. Though I should die with Thee, I will never deny Thee." And all the other Disciples said the same. Jesus then led the way over a brook, called Cedron, into a garden that was called Gethsemane; and walked with three' of the disciples in- to a retired part of the garden. Then Ise left them as he had left the oth- ers, 'together; saying, "Wait here, and watch!"—and went away and prayed by Himself, while they, being weary, fell asleep. And Christ suffered great mere and distress of mind, in his prayers in that garden, because of the wick- edness of the men of Jerusalem who were going to kill Him; and He shed tears before God, and, was in deer and strong affliction. When His prayers were finished; arid He was comforted, Ile returned to the Disciples, and said "Rise! Let us be going! He is close at hand, who will betray me!" Now, Judas knew that garden well for our Saviour had often walked there, with his Disciples; and, al- most at the moment when Our Sav- iour said these words, he came there. accompanied by a strong guard of men and officers, which had been sent bey the chief Priests and Phari.) aees.- It being dark, they carried lanterns and torches. They wenn armed with swords and staves too; for they did not know but that the people would rise and defend Jesus Christ; and this had made them a- fraid to seize Him boldly in the day, when he sat teaching the people. As the leaders of this guard had never seen Jesus Christ and did not know him from the apostles, -Judas had said to them, "The man whom I kiss, will be he." As ne advanced to give this wicked kiss, Jesus said, to the soldiers "whom do you seek"— "Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. "Then," said He. Let my disciples here, go freely. I am He." Which Judas confirmed, by saying "Hail Master!" and kissing Him. Where- upon Jesus said, "Judas, Thou hast betrayed me -with a kiss)" The guard then ran forward to seize Him. No one offered to pro- tect Hint, except Peter, who, having a sword, drew it, and cut off the right ear of the High Priest's ser- vant, who was one of them, and whose name was Malthus. But Je- sus made him sheath his sword, and gave himself up. Then all the dire cipkes forsook Him and fled; and there remained not one --mot one -to bear Him company.

It struck me as very fitting, also, that Dr. Charles Saunders who has done so much to develope wheat, so necessary to the nourishment of the body, end Mar- shall Saunders; whose work has been icty of conditions; some like full sun; others 'prefer shade; and still others like full light but no sun.

I ant very pleas- ed about Miss Saunders' recognition by our Sovereign and only wish that it might have been possible to have given her a title in her ownright, Why shouldn't there be an equivalent to a baronetcy to 'bestow upon wo- men? Four other -women were also nam- ed Dame Commanders of the Order of the British Empire, the honour be- stowed upon Miss Saunders. I do not know just what the 'honout. means, but fancy there isn't much to it except the honour of being dames by the Icing, an;l "liame," even if that were used to designate them in future, doesn't strike me as very much of a title. REBEItAH ROCK . GARDENING IS BECOMING POPULAR Rock gardening is becoming more popular each year, particularly to the town er city where space is at a premium, as in this typo of garden - ite idea of how the completed rock garden will look is necessary, as constructing a rock garden of any size entails a certain amount of hard work and change of any magnitude means work 'which can be avoided by having a plan and following it out. Limestone and sandstone are to be preferred to granite and other hard stones for garden work. If slate is to be used it should be confined to paths, All racks should be sloped down at the back to be sure of catching rain. A few rock plants are rather parts talar as to soil composition: A good general-purpose soil, however, would consist of one part leaf mold, one part sand, one part stone chips, and one part garden loam; or for plants with more alkaline taste, lithe rubble could take the place of the stone chips, Although some rock plants do well on rich soil, very few will last long if fed much manure) and chemical fertilizers are o'E little. value .in the rock garden.

Jim was five months old, and was waiting over between trains in the arms of his 12 -year-old sister, a lit- tle Russian -born girl who was play- ing second mother while mummy rested. In all there were four chil- dren in the party with mother just recovering from a serious operation. Out from Russia only three years the family has spent the intervening time on a farm at Carberry. But it "went +broke," as the 12 -year-old said, and now the family is going to try its luck in Ontario. The little girl has been to school spasmodically, for school was "eight miles from home," and 'there was no road. Still, she has managed to pick up English and is looking forward to being able to go to school every day when the family gets to Ontario.

This is only the tbin edge of the wedge; requests will be made to this and future parliainents' for all kinds of societies and associations to have the right and privilege to issue sweep- stake tickets." And again, "this hill is camouflaged with the word `otoss pital" and under the guise of "hos, pital" it is supposed that gambling will be made legal for the Canadian people so far as raising money for hospitals is concerned" And again "you are to my mind building on a wrong foundation for the future of this country." One of the great problems that we have to face in this country today is that during the past four years a new class of people has been develop- ed, dependent upon relief, many of whom will not likely do much more work daring the rest of their lives. When people get away from the idea of earning an honest living by the "sweat of their brow" they are on a wrong basis. Winning at sweeps stakes fosters this idea and has a tendency to take the minds of many off honest work as a necessity. A large past of the revenue raised by sweepstakes goes to "expenses"' and statistics show that only 1S per cent of the money goes to hospitals. The hospitals of Canada oto not want sweepstakes and it. is well that our parliamentary representatives have shown that they do not have the people of the eositry to be given •further incentive to gamble with parliamentary approval, Another interesting point was brought forward in the discussion by. Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Minister of Jns- tice who stated that raffles of motet cars, which are more or less common in Ontario, are contrary to law, •He suggested that a little more effort Oil the .part of Provincial authorities might bring far better enforcement of the law.
