A Column Prepared Especially for Women—
But Not Forbidden to Men
CANADA
`I fled the shadows of an older world,
Along the track of setting sun and
• star,
'Until I came where gracious Canada
For such as I had left her gates
ajar.
` With touch as tender as a mother's
own,`•
She laid her healing hands upon
my heart,
And wrought with magic with her
loveliness
As banished all remembrance of
my smart.
When setting sun and star have lur-
ed me on
Along a trail that Ieads to worlds
apart,
"Scatter my dust in woods of Canada,
For her's the holiest love of all my
heart.
—.Constance Davies Woodrow.
I sometimes wonder if we Cana-
dian women sufficiently realize our
, good fortune in being Canadians.
"This is a splendid young country into
which we have had the good fortune
to be born, or in some cases, to have
• come to from other lands, and it is
something to have even a small
share in building it up, in laying the
foundations upon which the wonder-
ful structure it is bound to become
will rest. I have the most wonderful,
visions of what Canada will be in
' the corning years; of its influence a-
mong the nations of the earth. We
have hardly found our place as yet;
we still feel young and inexperienced,
but we are growing up and each year
Canada is realizing more than ever
her mighty destiny. The News-aRe-
• cord in 1927, in its Jubilee edition,
', finished an editorial with the follow-
`ing paragraph:
"Canada has had during all her
career of sixty years the disad-
vantage •of living in close prox-
? imity to a large and wealthy
country. Our relations with the
United States are •of the pleas-
antest; her people aro good
neighbors and we Iike to neigh-
bor with them. But living beside
them has the same disadvantage
that a modest family of modest
• means experiences in living be-
side a very wealthy family. Our
young people like to ape their
• neighbors; they, the neighbors,
' are apt to look down a little on
us and we, perhaps, have been in-
clined to think too little of our
own advantages and too much of
the advantages of our neigh-
bors. But we are growing out of
this habit. We are beginning to
realize the greatness of our heri-
tage. We are getting past the
growing -pain stage, the awk-
ward, adolescent age, into young
manhood, when the realization of
our powers come to us. We
shall do well from this on. This
year of Jubilee will do something
for us, in bearing- In upon the
minds of the dullest of us the
fact that we are citizens of no
mean country. Canada will one
day, if she does not already do
so, justify the faith and vision
of her founders,"
We have passed through four years
of world-wide depression since that;
a time of stress and trial to all and
of bitter tragedy' to many. But even
that has not left Canadians down-
hearted; it has but confirmed us in
our belief in our country and we look
forward to a future which will ever
grow brighter and .better.
We have in Canada everything ma-
terial with which to build a great na-
tion and we have a people second to
none; all we need is to develope in
our people a sense of the need of
spiritual as well as material success.
I use the term spiritual here to de-
note all that is necessary for the de-
velopment of a great people aside
from the material. We must endea-
vor to foster the spirit of justice be-
tween man and man, a care for oth-
ers, and things seem to be tending
that way. Public opinion is being
aroused as to the inequality of the
returns meted out to labor and I look
for an improvement along these lines.
After all, when the public conscience
is aroused we can confidently expect
an improvement. But we as women
must be ever on the alert to assist in
every way possible along these lines,
Let us show our loyalty and our
love to and for Canada, by being the
very best sort •of citizens we know
how to be and by encouraging all
with whom we have any influence to
be the same.

DIABETES
By means of insulin, life has been
• made over for the diabetic patient.
Diabetes cannot be cured, but,
-through the proper use of diet and
insulin, itis usually possible for the
diabetic to enjoy a normal active
and useful life.
The pancreas (sweetbread) is one
of the organs found in the abdomen.
'Insulin is produced by the pancreas,
and it is insulin which changes car-
ibohydrate foods, starches and sugars
into glycogen, or animal starch,' in
• which form. it can be used at once,
• or stored up, until required, as an.
energy food.
For soma unknown reason, changes
do occur in the islands of Langer-
hans, the part of the pancreas which
produces insulin. When the pan:
creas fails to produce sufficient'in-
sulin, diabetes results. Carbohydrate
foods cannot be used by the body,
..sugar accumulates in the blood and;
later, is present in the urine, The
amount of sugar, passed in the urine
varies, from a mere trace to as
much as a pound or two a 'day.
Diabetes• occurs at • all ages. A
number of young children develop
' thedisease, but the majority of
-'cases occur after forty. Diabetes is
•' found chiefly among those who; after
reaching middle life, overeat and, se
a result, become overweight. Dia-
betes is the penalty these individuals
pay for their over -indulgence in
• cod,
Diet was the only treatment avaiI-
able before the discovery of insulin.
Diet is just as important as it ever
was but it many cases, diet alone is
not a satisfactory treatment. In
such cases, insulin allows the dia-
betic to eat and use sufficient
starches and sugars to maintain
health and strength.
It is most important that the dia.
betic give careful attention to his
general health, He should be scrup-
ulously clean about his body. Any
abnormal condition, such as infect-
ed teeth or other focal infection,
should receive proper treatment
without delay. Etcereise is essential
as exercise helps to use up the sug-
ars and starches.
Success in treatment rests with
the patient. He requires regular
medical supervision to instruct ane'
guide him along the way, but . his
fate lies in his own hands. The dia
betic who uses insulin and diet pro-
perly may hope for Tears of health
and happiness.
To avoid diabetes, those of -middle
age or later years should keep their
weight' at or a little below the aver-
age. This is another way of saying
that diabetes does not usually occur
among those who maintain a normal
weight by combining moderation in
eating with reasonable exercise.
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by

mould and occasionally climbing up
fences and on trees.
Among the most constant charac-
teristics by which it may be recogniz-
ed are its leaved, which are arranged,
in threes. This helps to distinguish
it from the Virginia Creeper with its
five -petal leaves. Early in the sum-
mer inconspicuous clusters •of small
white flowers arise from the evils of
the leaves and are' followed on some
plants by round whitish fruits a-
bout the size of a pea.
As a protection when going among
ivy it is well to wash all exposed skin
surface with a five per cent solution
of ferric chloride in water, allowing
it to remain on. This is merely a
preventative measure, intended to
neutralize the oil. If oil is suspect-
ed of having reached the unprotected
skin, scrubbing with laundry soap
under running water is recommended
to remove it before it penetrates.
Treatment of Infection,
Since the irritant principle is not
noticeable, the first sign of infection
may be a slight itching of the af-
fected parts, followed by a faint blush
of the skin. The itching sensation in-
creases and in from 24 to 28 hours
minute single or more numerous wat-
ery blisters appear, which eventually
burst, to become most irritating ooz-
ing sores. The sores finally dry up,
forming thick scabs. Apparently
contagion can be carried from oozing
sores to other parts, so care is need-
ed to guard against this.
If so infected, see your doctor.
How to Kill Plant
Hoeing is best. Wear long rubber,
boots and mitts, washing them after-
wards very thoroughly with strong

brown soap or caustic solution under
running water.
Salt and kerosene and other cheap
fuel oils are powerful soil sterilizers,
which must be used only where
shrubs and trees of value will not be
harmed. Recent tests with chlorates
have shown them to have some dis-
tinct advantages •over most other
chemicals. They are cheap enough
for use on a moderately wide scale,
practically non-poisonous, easily ap-
plied and promptly destroy the fol.
iage and shallow -rooting, patches
have •been killed out -right with a
single application of one pound sod-
ium, chlorate in a gallon of water
syrayed on a square rod. There is
some fire hazard in the use of this
substance, therefore calcium chloride
is considered to be safer and equally
effective, but is only on the market in
prepared forms costing somewhat.

CHAPTER THE ELEVENTH
Part One
That you may know what the
People meant when they said Cru-
cify Him!" I must tell you that in
those times, which were very cruel
times indeed (let ,us thank God and
Jesus Christ that they are past!) it
was the custom to kill people who
were sentenced to Death, by nailing
them alive on a great wooden
cross, planted upright in the ground,
and leaving them there, exposed to
the sun and wind and day and night,
until they died of pain and thirst. It
was the custom too, to make them
walk to the place of execution, car-
rying the cross piece of wood to
which their hands were to be after-
wards nailed; that their shame and
suffering might be greater.
Bearing his cross upon his shoule
der, like the commonest and most
wicked criminal, our blessed Saviour.
Jesus Christ, surrounded by the per-
secuting crowd, went out of Jerus-
alem to a place called in the Hebrew
language, Golgotha; that is, the
place of a scull. And being come to
a hill called Mount Calvary, they
hammered cruel nails through his
hands and feet and nailed him on the
Cross, between two other crosses, on
each of which, a common thief was
nailed in agony. Over His head, they
fastened this writing "Jesus of Naze
areth, the King of the Jews" in
three languages; in Hebrew, in Greek
and in Latin.
Meantime, a guard of four soldiers,
sitting on the ground, divided. His
clothes (which they had taken off) in-
to four parcels for themselves, and
cast lots for His coat, and sat there,
gambling and talking, while Ho
suffered. They offered him vinegar to
drink, mixed with gall; and wine,
mixed with myrrh; hut he took none
And the wicked people who passed
that way, mocked him, and said, "If
Thou be the Son -of God, come down
from the Cross,' The Chief Priests
also mocked Him, and said "He carne
to save Sinners. Let him save himJ
self!" One of the thieves, too, rail-
ed at him in his torture, and said,
"If Thou be Christ, save thyself and
us," But the other Thief, who was
penitent, said "Lord! Remember me
• When Thou comest into Thy King.
dom!" And Jesus answered, "Today,
thou shalt be with me in Paradise."
None were there, to take pity on
Itim, but one disciple and four wo-
men. God blessed those women for
their true and tender hearts! They
were, the mother of Jesus, his moth-
er'e sister, Mary, the wife of Cleo+
phas, and :Mary Magdalene who had
twice dried his feet upon her hair
The disciple was he whom Jesus loved
—John, who had leaned upon his
breast and asked him which was the
Betrayer. When Jesus saw them
standing at the foot of the Cross, He,
said to his mother `that John would
be her son, to comfort her when He
was dead; and from that hour John
was as a son to her, and loved her.
At about the sixth hour, a deep
and terrible darkness came over all
the land, and lasted until the ninth
hour, when Jesus cried out, with a
loud voice, "My God, My God, why
hast Thou forsaken me!" The sol-
diers, hearing hint dipped a sponge
in some vinegar, that was standing
there, and fastening it to a long reed,
put it to His Mouth. When he had
received it, He said, "It is finished!"
And crying, "Father! Into thy hands,
I commend my Spirit!"—idied.
Then there was a dreadful earth-
quake; and the great wall of the
Temple cracked; and the rocks were
rent asunder. The guard, terrified at
these sights, said to each other,
"Surely this was the Son of God!"—
And the People who had been watch-
ing the cross from a distance (among
whom were many women) smote up-
on their breasts, and went, fearfully
and sadly, home.
The next day, being the Sabbath,
the Jews were anxious that the Bod-
ies should be taken down at once, and
made that request to Pilate, There-
fore some soldiers came, and broke
the legs of the twocriminals to
kill them; but coming to Jesus, and
finding Him already dead, they only
pierced his side with a spear. From
the wound, there came out, blood and
water.
There was a good man named Jos-
eph of Arimathea, a Jewish city —
who believed in Christ, and going to
Pilate privately (for fear of the
Jews) begged that he might have
the body. Pilate consenting, he and
one Nicodemus, rolled it in linen and
spices—it was the custom of the Jews
to .prepare bodies for burial in that
way—and' buried it in a new tomb
or sepulchre, which had been cutout
of a rock ina garden near to the
place of Crucifixion, and where my
one had ever yet been buried. They
then rolled a great stone to the
mouth of the sepulchre, and left Mar;
Magdalene, and the other ,Pilary, sit-
ting there,, watching it.
The. Chief Priests and, Pharisees
remembering that Jesus Christ had
said to .his disciples that He would'
rise from the grave en the third day
after His death, went to Pilate and.
prayed that, the Sepulchre might be
well taken care of until' that day, lest
the disciples s hould steal the Body,
and afterwards say to the people that
Christ was risen from the dead. Pil-
ate agreeing to this, a guard of sol-
diers was set over it constantly, and
the stone was sealed up besides. And
so it remained, watched, and sealed.
until the third day, which was the
first day of the week.

LINCOLN'S FAVORITE POEM
"OH WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT
OF MORTAL BE PROUD?"
The late President Lincoln very
much admired this poem, and Mr. F.
B. Carpenter, the well known, paint-
er of "The Emancipation Proclama.
tion before the cabinet," tells the
following anecdote regarding it. The
anecdote, with the poem, appeared
in the Caledonian Mercury of May
13th, 1865, and I am indebted to a
friend for the extract, M4'. Carpen-
ter says: "I was with the President
alone one evening, in his room, dur-
ing the time I was painting my large
picture at the White House, last
year. He presently threw aside his
pen and papers and began to talk to
me of Shakespeare. Ile sent little
'Tad,' his own son, to the library to
bring a copy of the plays, and then
read to me several of his favorite
passages, showing genuine apprecia-
tion of the great poet. Relapsing
into a sadder strain, he laid the book
aside and leaning back in his chair,
said: 'There is a poem which hae
been a great favorite with me for
years, which was first shown to me
when a young man, by a friend, and
which I afterwards saw and out from
a newspaper and learned by heart. I
would,' he continued, 'give a great
deal to know who wrote it; but I
have never been able to ascertain.'
Then, half closing his eyes, he re-
peated to me the following lines (giv-
en below.) The true author of the
poem has never been rightly ascer-
tained, though it is generally attri-
buted to a young Scotsman named
William Knox. — M, llIi tthewson,
Glasgow,
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal
be proud?
Like a swift -fleeting meteor, a
fast flying cloud,
Like a '.flash of the lightning, a
sweep of the wave,
Man passes from life to his rest
in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the wil-
low shall fade,
Be scattered around, and together
be laid;
And the young and the old, and the
low and the high
Shall moulder to dust and together
shall lie.
The maid on whose face, in whose
smiles, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure, her
triumphs are by;
And the memory of those who loved
her and praised,
Are alike from the minds of the
living erased.
Our youthful companions, whom we
tenderly Loved,
Are. from our affections forever re-
moved;
Death numbers them now with the
things that are past—
They've fled like the snowflake that
whirled in the blast.
The child that a mother delighted to
rear,
The mother that nourished that in-
fant with care
The husband that infant and mother
had blest,
Each --all are away to their dwell
ling of rest.
The hand of the king, that the sce-
ptre had borne,
The brow of the priest, that the
mitre had worn,
The eye of the sage, and the heart
of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the womb
of the grave.
The warrior who waded through
blood for a name,
The sailor who dared every dan-
ger for fame,
The statesman who wielded a coun-
try's doom,
Have all passed away and are hid
in the tomb.
The peasant whose trade was to sow.
and to reap,
The herdsman that climbeed with
his goats to the steep,
The beggar that wandered' in search
of his bread,
They have faded away like the
grass that we tread.
The saint that enjoyed the commun.
ion of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain
unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty
and just,
Have quietly mingled their boner
in the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flow•
er and the weed
That withers away, to let others
succeed;
So the multitude comes, even those
we behold,
To repeat every tale that hath
often been told.
For we are the same that our fath-
ers have been,
We see the same stream, and we
feel the same sun,
And we run the same course that
our fathers have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our
fathers would think,
From the death we are shrinking
they, too, would shrink;
To the life we are clinging they, too
would cling,
But it speeds from the earth like
a bird on the wing.
They loved—but their history we
cannot unfold;
They scorned—but the heart of
the haughty is cold;
They greived—but no wail from their
slumbers may come;
They joyed—but the voice of their
triumph is dumb.
They died—aye, they died, and we
who are now,
Who walk on the grass that grows
over their brow,
Who make in their dwellings a tran-
sient abode,
Meet the changes they met on their
pilgrimage road.
For hope and despondency, pleasure
and pain
Are mingled together like sunshine
and rain;
A.nd the smile and the tear, and the
song and the dirge,
They follow each other like surge
upon surge.
'Tis the wink of an eye, 'tis the
draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health to the
paleness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier
and the shroud,
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal
be proud?
EARTH -BORN
No lapidary's heaven, no brazier's
hell for me,
For I am made of dust and dew and
stream and plant and tree;
I'm close akin to ;boulders, I am
cousin to the mud,
And all the winds of all the skies
make music in my blood.
I want a darook and pine trees, I
want a storm to blow
Loud -lunged across the looming hills
with rains and sleet and snow;
Don't put me off with daidems and
thrones of chrysoprase,—
I want the•winds •of northern night!
and wild March days.
My blood runs red with sunset, my
body is white with rain,
And on nay heart auroral skies have
set their scarlet stain,
My thoughts are green with spring
time, among the meadow rue
I think any very soul is growing
green and gold and blue.
What will be left, I wonder, when
Death has washed me clean
Of dust and dew and sundown and
April's virgin green?
If there's enough to make a ghost
I'll bring it back again
To the little lovely earth that bore
me, body, soul, and brain.

THE BEST ROAD OF ALL
I like a road that leads away to
prospects white and fair,
A road that is an ordered road, like
a nun's evening prayer;
But best of all S love a road that
leads to God knows where.
You come upon it suddenly --you can-
not reel: it out;
It's like a secret still unheard and
never noised about;
But when you see, it, gone at once is
every lurking doubt.
It winds beside some rushing stream
where aspens lightly quiver;
It follows many a broken 'field by
anany a shining river;
It seems to lead you on and on, for-
ever and forever!
You tramp along its dusty way be.
neath the shadowy trees,
And hear beside you chattering birds
or happy booming bees,
And all around you golden sounds,
the green' leaves' litanies.
Ami here's a hedge and there's a cot;
and then, strange, sudden turns --
A dip, a rise, a little glimpse where
the red sunset burns;
A bit of sky at evening time, the
scent of hidden ferns.
A winding road, a loitering road, the
finger mark of God,
Traced when the Maker of the world
leaned over ways untrod.
Seel Here He smiled His glowing
smile, and lo, the golden -rod!
I like a road that wanders straight;
the King's highway is fair,
And lovely are the sheltered lanes
that take you here and there;
But best of all I love a road that
leads to God knowa where.

"IS THERE ANY PLACE IN THE
COUNTRY FOR ME THIS co
SUMMER?" w11, - •
"Please, ma'am, can I go away
this summer?" This is the question
which comes from all sides and what
can we answer? It is a tremendous
task which we face—that of ,finding
holiday homes for 1,000 children.
We want you to realize that our only
hope of making these children happy
and healthy is through the kindness
and generosity of you, who live out
side our City. An invitation for one
or two children to visit in your home
for two weeks this summer is some-
thing which only you can give. What
it would mean to the children who
receive it is more than words can ex-
press.
Will you help?
The children are medically examin.
ed before leaving Toronto and their
transportation is paid. We must,
however, ask the hostesses to do their
part free.
A letter to F. N. Stapleford, 22
Wellesley Street, Toronto, along with
a letter of recommendation from your
minister, will bring a speedy and
grateful response from us.--1(The
