To give children the proper slant on life is one of the most important duties placed upon their parents and their teachers." Those having the care of children do not always realize how important every tribal 'matt'er appears to them. As we grow older we recognize rela- tive values and can adjust ourselves 607 bitter. But we should not grow so far away from youth and its follies that we have no tolerance for them.. We axe wont to hear from time to time complaints that the presence of women in the business world has been a detriment to men's .chances, etc. Sometimes these complaints are so worded that one would imagine' that women were hardly human, and certainly had no human rights, until all men were satisfied that their rights were secure. It is refreshing then, to read what a man, a French- Canadian scholar, has to say about this vexed matter. He evidently thinks women have an equal right to engage in the gentle art of trying to earn an honest living—until she's married, anyway. Here's his opinion as stated in the press this week: "Putting the question of work on. the basis of sex is to judge the ques- tion falsely; the basis should be one of ability and need," stated Rev. Ces- las Forest, chairman of the depart- ment of philosophy at the University of Montreal, in an address to the Cercle d'Etudes et de Conferences, on the subject of the right of women to work, Column Prepared Especially for Women— But Not Forbidden to Men THE DAY WILL BRING SOME LOVELY THING 'The day will bring some lovely thing, I say it over each new dawn; . ..'S'ome gay, adventurous thing to hold Against niy heart when it is gone, And so I rise -land' go to meet The day with wings upon my feet. come upon it unaware- Some sudden beauty without name; A snatch of song—a breath of pine— A poem lit with a golden Caine; ,High tangled bird notes -- keenly thinned --I Like flying color in the wind.

The following, concluding on edi- toriat is a country weekly comment- '.ing on the sad case of a young girl's .'suicide after a quarrel with her tnoth- er, seemed to me to...be such a wise summing up of the case: "A. person's life is not made up of one thing. We can't work, play, sleep or eat all the time. It's the proper balance of these things that make lite worth living. The •housewife who "knows nothing but work" or the man who keeps his nose continually to the grindstone are grown-up re- plicas of the 'girls and boys who are also victims of the obsession that one particular thing is worthy of all. their interests. It is a tragedy tivhen people of aII ages get the wrong slant on life., Unfortunately, this is all too common. It may not always show itself in throwing themselves in front of a train, but it sliows itself never- theless. Practically every person in our insane asylums—and the number. is constantly increasing: has some pet obsession. Harbored in their minds, it grew in fertile soil until. they became unbalanced. They were no longer able to see life rationally.

Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary VOLUNTARY ISOLATION To spread or not to spread, is the question to which isolation offers a partial answer. Isolation is not so well thought of as formerly; this is not due to any fault on the part of isolation, but rather to the fact that isolation cannot accomplish as much as was hoped for it at one time. Isolation, the separation of the sick • from the well, has been practised for many centuries. Those who are fam- iliar with the Old Testament will re- •call the description given of how, in ancient tines, those who suffered from ' leprosy were made_ to live apart, is- - elated, from their fellow -men. Isolation is of real value provided there is a reasonable understanding of what is aimed to be accomplished through isolation; otherwise, it will be largely a waste effort. Isolation is, not for the good of the sick person on whom it is practised, but for the pro- tection of those who are well. Frequently we have repeated the advice that when a child has a cold or a sick stomach, or when he is other- • wise unwell, he should be isolated, as these are the symptoms of the coni- •• mon 'communicable diseases. This might be called voluntary isolation,. It is very 'simple; the child remains in bed, and no one goes into his room • excepting his .mother or the one other ;person who is looking after the child. Care of Children Those Doubtful Stories! As the men gathered around the "popular fellow," who was fond of telling stories with a wink of the eye and a smile on one side of his face, they 'beekoned to one who was standing aside. "Come on, Joe, you will want to hear this one," they urged. Joe carne, and the raconteur pro- ceeded. Presently there was an out- burst of guffaws and snickers. A close observer, however, would have notic- ed that the laugh of some of the list- eners was not natural; it was forced. They laughed because they did not want to be regarded as 'goody -good- les, They wanted to be counted in with "real men." Had they followed their own inclination they would not have laughed at . all. One of them, in fact, spent a little while the next day in repeating the story to himself and analyzing it, so to speak, into its constituent parts, and he found it to consist almost en- tirely of filth, with very little humor. He tried to tell it to a friend, but it fell flat. It lacked the "amosphere" of the evening before. Humor sometimes walks in ques- tionable company, and we may still enjoy her, though we repudiate the company; but when foul minds make an effigy of her of filth and parade it as the real thing, we are not eau- ily duped. We know it is an imita- tion. Blessed is the man who can enjoy humor and wit, and more blessed is he who can make us smile and laugh. There is no danger in merely going into the room, but if others are allow- ed in, they will likely want to play with and fondle and friss the sick child, who probably does not feel par- ticularly ill and who would, therefore, be only too glad to play. The whole danger lies in the patient's secretions, and usually this is limited to the se- cretions from the mouth, nose and throat. These are dangerous, because it is in them that the germs of the common communicable diseases leave the body. Practically, the danger can be a- voided if the person who is looking af- ter the child keeps away from his face; by this is meant, that she does not kiss the childor come in the line of fire of his coughs and sneezes. Also, she should keep her hands away from her own face, scrub her hands with soap and water and a nail -brush ev- ery time she leaves the patient's room, and boils all cups and dishes used by the patient. These measures will pre- vent the spread of disease in the home. At the sametime, keeping the child in bed is the best form of treat- ment if he has a cold or a sick sto- mach, or if he is coming :down with some communicable disease, Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medial As- sociation, 184 College Street,,Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter, ig 1 a ' PALE, P'EPLESS GIRL BECAME PRETTY —AND WASN'T SHE PLEASED 'It all happened in $0 days!

It is through her work that she has gained emancipation, and it is un- fortunate that the position she has attained should be menaced by such as Mussolini, who is forcing women back to the home." Abbe Forest believes it is neces- sary to make e. distinction, between the married women and the single women workers, unless emn- pelled to work by economic necessity, the tendency should be for married women to remain in the home. "But," he stated, "the privilege of working, whether in manual or intellectual pur- suits, o the s uits is the inviolable right f , g unmarried woman." * is * * ,h 'h --REBESAH. OUR RECIPE FOR TODAY As the fires are again on we may include in our menu some dishes taking long cooking. Here is one for a most nourish- ing broth: Mutton Broth With Barley Put two pounds and a half of mutton—not lamb—chosen from the shoulder, into a small kettle with a quart to three pints of cold water and a scant teaspoon of salt. Let it heat slowly. As soon as it begins to bubble remove the scum. Do not allow the broth to boil, but keep it just below the :boiling point until the meat is tho- roughly cooked, when it should, be removed from the fire and poured off into an earthen dish, leaving the meat for some oth. er use. ,There should be one quart of the broth. The barley should be cooked from six to ten hones in a dou- ble boiler, ou-ble'boiler, using one cup barley to four cups water. 'When thor- oughly cooked strain and keep in an earthen dish. Use broth and barley togeth- er --heating the broth and ad- ding, whatever amount of bar- ley seems inviting to the indi- vidual. This is especially good for invalids or children. A portion of the fat should be' allowed to remain in the broth as it is nourishing and tasty. Both barley and broth must be carefully prepared by long and slow cooking, •or the desir- ed resorts will not be attained. The meat will make e foundation of a tasty hash, if chopped and mixed with cook- ed vegetables and nicely flavor- ed with salt, pepper and a dash of eelery, salt. Humor pleases and eases the mind and wit brightens the drab hours and hard tasks with shafts of light. Truly they are gifts of 'God, as well as sun- shine and the warmth of friendship. And because they are gifts of heaven, let us cherish then and not be saes- , with shady counterfeits. Every filthy story leaves us less ab- le to enjoy real humor. First Mention of Spools Household Economics DOGS—HOW TO APPROACH AND HANDLE THEM The following was written' Iby Flank B. Dole, a celebrated dog fan- cier, to promote safety of employees of the Consolidated Gas and Affiliat- ed Gas, Electric and Steam Compan- ies. It was Charles A. Dana, the cele- brated editor, who said, "When a man. bites a dog, its news." In many more cases than most people realize, when a dog bites a man it is really the' man who causes the biting. Few dogs, like human beings, go out of their way to ,cause trouble, and when trou- ble does occur, and a man is bitten by a dog, it is usually because the dog fails to understand that the use of his teeth is not necessary .to protect ei- ther his master or his master's pre- perty. •The prime instinct of any dog is to protect, with his life if neces- sary, those he loves. Of all the articles and utensils that modern household, in the mod n h o d aro used e , there is none which can be traced to the soon earlier beginnings than spoon, says a writer in the Washington * Post. Besides having- a fascinating * history, a spoon is one of the loveliest * and most graceful pieces used on the * table. Going back to its origin, the * first reference made to spoons is in * the Bible, where Moses was command- • ed to make gold spoons for the tab- * ernacle. During medieval times * spoons were made of silver, horn or 4' wood. Even though England is so * closely associated with lovely silver * designs, it was on the continent that * silver spoons were used first—peob- * ably Italy. ,After the silver spoons * became popular in England,.about the * time of the Tudor and Stuart reigns * it became fashionable to give apostle * spoons as christening gifts. They * were called apostle spoons because * of the figure of an apostle at the end * of the spoon. A complete set o * these was very valuable and were • owned only by the wealthy families. * This gave rise to the saying of "be- * ing born .with a silver spoon in his * mouth." * * • SHIP'S CAPTAIN DOCTORS * !

A dog should not be touched unless you have'meet him often enough to establish a friendship. Make all your movements natural; do nothing that might frighten him. iA dog should be given the impres- sion that, your visit is perfectly' pro- per.—The Au Sable News. No two dogs are alike in disposi- tion any more than are any two hu- man beings. But there are some gen- eral rules that can be' Iaid down for any person whose work. takes him into houses where there are dogs which naturally cannot read a badge or know at a glance that the visitor has legitimate business on the premises. One of these is the fact that virtually all dogs will first announce the visi- tor's presence to their masters by barking. That is, of course, provided they are not taken by surprise. Thus it is well not to approach a dog's do- main too quietly. Another important fact is that few dogs 'will use their teeth unless startled by some sudden motion which they fail to understand or which they' construe as a threat to themselves or to the safety of the person and property of their master. If the dog has a chance to give the visitor the "once-over" and the visitor shows by his confident bearing and normal actions that he has legitimate business, the dog will either evidence friendship or content himself with quietly watching what the intruder is about. Just as many persons resent a slap on the back, particularly from one who is a comparative stranger, so do many dogs dislike being petted until they have made their own introduc- tion. Virtually all dogs relish having their heads scratched behind the ears, but virtually all of thein first want to use their keen sense of smell in forming their impressions of the visitor. Thus. before touching a dog, he should be given a chance to sniff the hand that may be offered in the equivalent of a human hand -shake. A keen sense of hearing is another element in forming impressions for dogs. He places much reliance on the sound of the intruder's voice. If the tone is quiet, confident and friendly, the dog quickly- decides that here is a person who is not going to do anything suddenly and means no harm either to himself or those he guards. Naturally, too, a dog uses his eyes all the time and is suspicious of ob- jects he does not often see, such as unusually shaped bundles, or in the case of repair men or teeter readers, tools or flashlights. If these are be- ing swung in the hand, he may think they are intended to strike hint. They should be carried under the arm or In the pocket in approaching a dog and not taken out too abruptly on .the premises. There are several general rules which can be observed by everybody called upon to go from house to house and thus encounter all types and sizes of dogs: Always let 'a dog know you are approaching by not being too quiet.
