Have you seen, anywhere, a tall little lad, And a winsome wee lass of four? " It was only today, barefooted and brown, That they played by my kitchen door. It was only today (or maybe a year; It could not be twenty, I know!) ' They were shouting for me to help in their game, But I was too busy to go; Too busy with sweeping and dusting to play, ..And now they have silently wandered away. If by chance you hear of a little slim lad, • And a small winsome lass of four, T pray you to tell roe! To find them again I would journey the wide world o'er. ',Somewhere, S ata sure, they'll be playing a game, And should they be calling for me To come out and help, oh, tell them, I beg, Pm coming as fast as can be! For there's never a house might hold me today Could I hear them call me to share in their play. —Anon. There are few happier sights vouchsafed to mortals than the sight of father or mother playing with their little children and the children on such good terms with -their par- ents that they expect such co-opera- tion and companionship. One never has much doubt but that such children will turn out all right. The child who has kept oe good terms ;with father and mother From babyhood up has a hundred chances to one of turning out well to the one who has drifted away from father and mother as soon as it be- gins to step out by itself, be it son or daughter.

It was not until the beginning of this century that the value of fresh air was first taught as part of the cern- • paign launched against tuberculosis at that time. Many people still seem to be afraid of fresh air; they apparently hold to the old belief that night air is differ- ent from day air and is, in conse- quence, injurious. At least, it seems fair to believe that this is their opin ion when we learn, from an article in a recent issue of The Canadian Pah- lie Health Journal, that a study of the habits of over two thousand School children showed that over twenty-five per cent. of these children slept in rooms with closed windows. This important to know that the study revealed no appreciable differ- ence between girls and boys, but that the older children had a better record than the younger. It might be ex- pected that there would be a marked difference between children according to the incomes`. of their homes. It would seem a natural .explanation that in homes where there was diffi- culty in finding the wherewithal to keep warm, there would be less likeli-' '" hood of open bedroom windows at -,nigh't. Strange to say, there was of their economically less fortunate neighbours. This study is of particular interest to all who are interested in health, and especially so to those who have been teaching health habits in their own homes or in a wider field, At first, it may appear to be surprising and disappointing that such a largo proportion of a group of school chil- dren should be deprived of fresh air which is free and to be had for the taking. Those who recall conditions as they were thirty years ago, when not only were windows ' kept closed but all cracks and crevices were care- fully stuffed against the odd whiff of incoming air, will wonder not that twenty-five per cent still keep their windows closed, but that in these comparatively few years, seventy-five per cent have learned to leave their bedroom windows open at night. Are you one of the minority cling- ing to old beliefs and fears, or have you joined the enlightened majority who secure for,thentselves hours in the fresh air while they sleep?

Or it may be that children are carelessly brought upbecause the parents aretoo busy,] sometimes a mother of little children has so many duties .pressing upon her day by day that she has little time to give her children. A woman, once remarked when her children had nearly grown to 'manhood and womanhood that she had reallynot enjoyed her children as she might have done when they were small because she was so busy looking after their . 'material needs. But she must have made time to train them, as they turned out very well, indeed. But, nodoubt, she was too busy as they were growing up a- bout her knees, as her strength was none too great andshe was particular about keeping them and her house in good order. Another mother who comes into my mind at the present time kept her chil- drens' confidence right up through childhood and even to the present be - Care of Children Household Economics .r.a.,.e.P.®a. cause she always took them more ser- iously than anything else she happen- ' ed to be doing. She was not such a good housekeeper, hilt she saw that her family.' had plenty of good food and were kept clean and clothed.. But she was never too busy to take an in- terest in their play, their .tasks as they grew older, their ambitions and asperations. She kept so near them that they never ceased confiding in her and, although theyare all grown men and women now, they still think "Mother" the greatest woman alive. She, perhaps, left much to be desired in her training of her children, but at least she taught them to be hon- est and self-respecting and by her care over their childhood and adoles, cense saved them from many a pit- fall into which other children, who are not kept on such good terms with their mother, often tumble. After all, the greatest work any parents perform in this world is bringing up their children to bo worthwhile men and women. —REBEKAH. sismailsam Huron County Girls Had Interesting Day at Seaforth Gathering, Saturday There was a large and representa- flower garden quilt, Miss Dora Dal- rymple.

THE FUNCTION OF ADVERTISING Wihat is the function of ad- vertising? "Advertising," says an exchange, "creates a desire to see." A merchant who wishes to sell his goods ad- vertises them, tells the public about them, then they wish to see therm, so conte to his store. When the customer comes to a man's store the work of the advertisement is completed, as far as that customer is concern- ed. It has dobe its bit. It is noav up to the merchant and his staff. If the goods are worthy, if they are presented to the customer in a pleasing manner, if the price is right the 'custo- mer is likely to buy. If, after coming into a store in answer to an advertisement a customer goes out without buying it is clearly not the fault of the ad- vertisement. The fault must be looked for somewhere else. A -merchant once complain- ed to a publisher that a sale which he had advertised did not pay him; that he had not sold many of the advertised goods. "Whose fault was that?" ask- ed the publisher. "The adver- tising brought you the people, for I saw them crowding your store. It was up to you to sell the goods. Advertising can- not do it all. You had the goods, advertising brought you the buyers; if you did not sell it must have been some fault on your part, or on the part of the goods offered." Some merchants, they are not as common as they used to be, have the idea that advertis- ing ought to sell anything; goods that are out-of-date, goods that are shoddy and worthless, goods that are too high-priced.. That is not the function of advertising. Ad- vertising . is an educative pro- cess, it is not a flim -flat game. No publisher likes advertisers to overstate the merits of his ; goods. Every publisher knows that advertising does assist legitimate merchants to sell goods, but he does not like ad- vertisers to make statements which he cannot substantiate. That sort of advertising is nei- ther good for the merchant or the publisher. But if you have reliable goods, the sort of things peo- ple want, and wish to dispose of them, a good way isto put an advertisement in your local paper, then prepare to give the cestomers who come the very best and most courteous service possible. In this way you can- not fail to find that advertis- ing pays. Merchants who advertise .in this way in The News -,Record will bear out the above.

Around her head and feet They heap more flowers than she in all her days Possessed. She sighed once, "Posies aren't for me, They cost too much." Yet now she sleeps in them, and can- not see, Or smell, or touch. Now in a new and ample gown she , lies, White as a daisy bud it is, as warm And soft as those she saw with long- ing eyes Passing some bright shop window in a storm. Then, when her flesh could feel, how harsh her wear! Not warm nor white. This would have pleased her once. She does not care At all tonight. They give her tears, affection's frail- est flowers. And fold her close in praise and tenderness: She does not heed. Yet in those empty hours If there had come, to cheer her loneliness, But one red rose in youth's rose - loving day, A smile, a tear, It had been good. But now she goes her way And does not hear. —Mary Webb. 3:�ak THE WOMAN HEART She never said "I love you not," but when She was all fearful that she loved too much; She never took her hand from yours --abut then When most she craved its touch. She never laughed at you, but when she fain Would be too tender, Never turn- ed away Save when each impulse urged her once again To listen and to .stay. A woman's heart is like a witch's prayer— To be read backward and its craft ' defied. Ah, judge us not by those poor lies we dare, But by the truths we hide. —Theodosia Garrison. OCTOBER Could I garner. A11 the glory Of the maple's autumn gown, All the crimson of the sumac On the hill -side, foot to crown; All the 'flaming, scarlet wood -bine, All the russet of the oak, All the countless shades of verdure That with call of spring awoke; All the opal of the morning, All the purpling hues of night; in my store house I' would hoard them; There I'd revel in delight: Thine the ,months both gay and sober: Summer, spring and winter drear; Mine a twelve-month of October There I'd dwell the live -long year. EVENING Comes sunset, solemn burial of the day! Sky's mourning bands flame purple anddull rose O+ershot with blazen gold! The sable clouds Hold high' their pall above his dying head, Then drop it low. The soft, winds murmuring "Lo! Day is dead!" sigh tenderest requiem. From the dim silence rises pipe of birds Fretting his funeral march_ The darkness grows, And all is still. But now the frail young moon Dares from a sheltering cloud, and bravely draws A silver crescent on the velvet dark! Her myriad friends the stars come dancing out— Dead day's forgot, in twinkling rev. elry! —Rose A Carter, in The Weekly Scotsman, dmf' SUMMER Summer is astray today, Loitering over vale and hill, Smiling by the singing stream, Strewing blossoms at her will; Trailing are her robes of light; Glinting gold is in her hair; Limpid pools her eyes so bright, Casting magic everywhere. Oh! the glamor that she flings As afar her footsteps press. Sunshine lingers where she strays, Every breeze a fond caress; Freighted fields their harvest yield—' 'Gleaming gold and russet brown --- All the bounty of the year At her feet we lay it down. Sumner is astray today Over field and hill and dale, And her spirit calls away Out upon the magic trail; Soon she'Il vanish from our sight, Lost to vale and field and wood. Echoes of her footsteps light Break upon the solitude. But when Autumn, dreamy -eyed, .Haunts the mountain and the plain, Flaunts her robes all crimson -dyed, 13rings her riches once again, Summer's spirit will return When the days are calm and still, , Trail agate her robes of light Over wood and vale and hill. iHelen B, Anderson, STAR ABOVE A CEDAR One star above a tree suffices sight Which seeks for signs of amity in sky And earth. The cedar needles' futile sigh Ascends assiduously toward the light It cannot ever reach The twinkle, slight As any millionth fraction that may fly From out a drop of spray, through eons high, Descends untiringly the pit of night. Then if men, near, and yet, likewise, so far Apart, must make an effort in its way As chasm -spanning toward each oth- er, where Ts there a better solace?
