Some folk seem to have the idea that the young folk of today are all wrong, not to be relied upon, really going to the bad, not at all to be cern- pared with the generations preceding —especially the one immediately pre- • ceding. I do not feel that way at all. Some of the young folk of today are not getting a fair start hi life, because they have had such poor parents; 'their parents have allowed them to' just grow up, .like Topsy, without training, guidance or example, and if they turn 'lit all right it will be more by good hick than good management on the part of the parents. But giv- en equal chances the young folk of today can teach their parents a thing or two. And they are independent enough to tarty them well along and courageous enough to take the conse- quences of their own actions. Oh, I'm very hopeful of the young folk of to - Care of Children whole duty of wife and mother is not played.

Well, per- haps the modern girl has, not had the chance of learning all these details of housewifely art as their mothers or grandmothers had. The modern girl is working at some bread -winning task for the most part, her house- keeping knowledge is picked up at odd moments. But it is surprising how much of such knowledge a bright girl can pick up.

Edited by GRANT ,FLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary PAINLESS The severity ,of a pain is to many •• people a fair measure of the sevex- ity of the 'disease'or'Abnormal condi- tion responsible for the .pain.. Pain is one of nature's danger signals. Nevertheless, it is most unfortunate that the public .are apt to believe that if pain means danger, ,then, the ab- sence of pain assures safety. That this is nok true is evident when we come to consider how " many of the -major tragedies of illness which un- dermines health and endangers life, occur without causing a twinge of pain until it is too late to do much :about it. Ask the woman who comes to her doctor for the first time' with a'san- •' r of the breast why she did not come sooner, and almost inevitably ' the answer given is to•the effect that she did not think the lump in her ''breast could be anything serious be- cause there was no pain. It should he cried fromthe housetops that, in its early stages, cancer of the breast is painless;; indeed.it doe not cause even tenderness. There are excep- tional cases, but' no woman has any justification for thinking that, she can .neglect the lump in her breast just, because it does not give rise to pain or tenderness, There is another popular miscon- ception concerning cancers of 'the breast, ` namely that such cancers rarely occur in women under forty' It "'is quite true that the majority are 'found after that age, but it is equally A Legend About Autumn's Stately,Sunny Goldenrod One day in .the deep, black forest many years ago an old woman was wandering around apparently lost. Finally she came to a -'ream whieh was hardly narrow enough to jump across. She looked up at the trees and asked them to give her a branch to assist her to the opposite side.. "I would gladly give you a staff," said the Elm, "but everyone knows that I am very lovely, end any branch I gave you would spoor my form.", "Yes," said the Maple, "I would like to give you a stick to assist you across the stream, but every one of my branches has such lovely red leaves upon it that if any one of them was removed, a great deal of my beauty would be gone." "Well," said the Oak, "yon know that_I am the strongest of all trees, but my strength depends entirely on keeping all my branches, each of which' forms just the right support for my head." "You know," said the Walnut, "that my branches must bear nuts, and everyone expects to gather them. You see therefore that I must have true that a. •large number occur be- tween the ages of thirty and forty, and that quite a number develop in women in their early twenties, ea. casionally even earlier. This simply means that a woman cannot say to herself: "I cannot have cancer of the breast, because the breast is not painful and I am under forty," Cancer of the breast occurs at all ages, and at all ages it is usu- ally painless in its 'early stages. There is only one safe and sure way for a woman to' approach this subject. She knows the appearance and the feel of her own breasts. If, at anytime, she observes or feels a change in her breasts, then she should consult a doctor without any delay. By "change," we mean any discharge from the nipple, or alter- ation in the appearance of the nip- ple, or a feeling of thickening, or a lump in the, breast. The reason why we insist upon the importance of the early recognition of cancer of the breast is simply that when the .'symptoms are recognized early and properly treated, the re- sults are good. Earlytreatment is the only effective remedy, and early treatment on be given only if there is an early diagnosis, and early diag- nosis depends upon the patient's go- ing to her physician with the sarlleat signs.

"I feel it my duty to keep every one of my branches. If it weren't for this duty that I have to winter, I might consider helping you." "Would you not use me?" whis- pered an old crooked branch that lay on the ground at the old woman's feet. "You!" exclaimed the old woman. "You look just like an old dead stick to me. I must stay on this side of the stream, after all." "At least try me," said the old stick, and raised itself up so that she could easily grasp it. With one skip and a jump the old woman was across the stream. Whereupon a fairy appeared from be. hind a tree and said, "Dear old stick, you have assisted a fairy from the skies across the stream, and I shall transform you into a Goldenrod." With that she exclaimed the magic word "Solidago," and the old stick took root and became a Goldenrod. GRATITUDE Are we grateful enough for the good things which wehave on this Earth? Do we not often think that the "other fellow" is getting along bet- ter, and getting more out of life than we are? If eve would only stop and think for a few minutes, of the hundreds of things that eve should•bo grateful for, and are not, we would indeed say, "what ungrateful people we are." It is the opinion of the Holy men of. India, if children are not grateful to their parents they are thought very little of. We do not realize how easy it is to get into the habit of being un- geatefui. Some people seem to find it an ex- ceedingly difficult thing to say thank you. It does not test anything to say these two little words, or to do some little act of • kindness to someone who has been kind to us. In this manner we show our gratitude in the finest way possible. Do not do kindnesses to only the people who have been kind to you, but try never to miss being kind to anyone who needs and deserves it. --Conscientious Dotty. "BETWEEN YOU. AND ME" The debate over "I" and "rue" goes on unendingly, but there is one thing that we ought to stop.It is the phrase, "between you and I."

They have cut off the possessive case in words end ing with s. Instead of saying 'James's coat," they say "James coat," probably not being aware that the old Osten: was to say, "James, Ms coat," which is contracted into "James's coat." There are exceptions to almost every rule in English grammer, and the only standard is the best usage. There used to be an infallible stan- dard in the English stage with its faultless accent and perfect gram- mar. But the stage is not what it used to be, and has been ousted by the moving picture' and the talkies," with their "unspeakable accents. The radio has also done much to •change the current of speech and may do more, so that it is not without reason that attempts are being made to get the announcers to speak corrcetly.
