None of us like "quitters," people who start something, be it a bit of work, a bre of study, a bit of game, perhaps, and when the first enthus- iasm is over and the task begins to grow a little tiresome or dull then gives it up and starts something else. We like the folk who will stick right to the finish, no matter how hard the task, and sees the game through. Occasionally, pf course, we start something which is not worth finishing,' in that case the sooner we drop it the better, saves waste of time. Although, occasionally, too, it is even worth while to finish a very poor task, just for the discipline it affords us.

Good health, personal comfort and .appearance demand that the mouth be kept clean, and free from decayed , teeth and inflamed gums. Not only; will decayed teeth become painful, but they prevent the proper chewing of food, are likely to foul the breath and spoil their owner's good looks. Furthermore, disease In and around' the teeth is the oause of many ser- ious disturbances in other parts of the body. Dental caries, ar decay of the ` . teeth, means the disintegration or breaking down of the tooth struc- ture. it is the disease which most commonly occurs in she human fam- ily. Some people suffer a great deal; others ' comparatively Tittle, At times, decay occurs rapidly, and at others, not at all. In other words, in- dividuals vary in their susceptibility to dental caries and there may be variations, from time to time, in the same individual, If there is one primary or essential cause, it is not known. A number of factors are recognized as contribut- ''ing tothe occurrence of decay of the teeth. We may assume that decay never begins on the smooth clean surface of a tooth. There must be some groove or crack on the surface or between the surfaces. It is at such a point that decay be- -gins, the enamel is perforated and the damage spreads inside the tooth. The process'' is much more rapid in - side, because there the tissue is soft as compared with the outer coating or enamel, this latter being the hard- est substance in the body. The un- dermining may be so extensive as to cause the tooth to crumble some day, under the pressure of a bite: At this stage, the tooth is sensitive to heat or Bold, to substances that are sweet or sour. The real pain, which we know as tooth -ache, comes and per- sists when the decay reaches the pulp of the tooth, as it is there that the nerve is located. The prevention of dental caries and all that this implies means, first of all, ;a proper diet, particularly early in life. By a proper diet is meant one that includes milk and fresh fruits and leafy vegetables to supply minerals and vitamins. The teeth and gums are kept healthy by use, so that some course food is de- sirable to exercise the teeth, gume and jaw muscles, The teeth and gums should be kept clean by being thoroughly brushed, preferably af- ter each meal, but certainly without fail after breakfast and before re- tiring. The value of antiseptics in the mouth has never been demon- strated.

It was desired to test on this class -the recuperative power of a certain tonic, preparation, the formula of which was known to have blood - building qualities. Likethe other 39, this young mans blood was tested and the "count" of red.corpuseles and red colouring matter was found well below nornnnl. No wonder he "felt punk" at times. Ile was given the tonic fund returned in tbirty clays to have his blood, tested again. Then was no doubt about improved 'health. Ile looked it and felt it. His blood test showed that fed corpuseles and reel colouring matter had strikingly increased. No wonder the felt and looked so much better. Would,you like to feel better, too?

We have all known folk who are great at startng. They are brilliant people, perhaps, • very Hunch more brilliant than we ordinary people, and the start is heralded with loud acclaim. ' They get others into the task and when it becomes a bit dull and their enthusiasm dies down, which always occurrs when the,spot- light is turned off and the actual work commendes, they leave the dull details to others. They may reap all the praise when the work is actually finished, you see it happen time and again; and those who actually did the work are overlooked. But, after all, I'd rather he the one who sticks. It is 10 schooling ourselves to do these hard things that character is developed. Don't let us be slackers. I was struck not long ago by what the mother of a young girl said to a friend about her daughter who was in a somewhat hard position, one which few, perhaps, would choose but which she took becauseshe was anx- ious to he doing something. The mother was speaking about the dis- advantages of the position and she said: "But I guess she is developing character by it. It takes a few hard experiences to develope young peo- ple." And I thought, there is one sensible mother. She is not filling the girl's mind with self-pity, as some mothers would. She is helping her to develope into a worthwhile woman, who is ready to take her place in a workaday world. I am no believer in throwing youngesters out into the world to sink or swim, without any preparation or care.' I believe parents should give their children every advantage pos- sible; preparing them as much as it is 'within their means for their work in life, but I do think that if they are too careful of them; too anxious that the wind shall not blow upon then, they defeat their own ends, they send them out ill-prepared for what life inevitably bolds for them. Amongst the things which should be taught either girl or boy before they are sent out into the world is this lesson about playing the game. —REBEKAH. head, and she was dead in a second. It's the dog that used to share our choeolate bar and our cheese at sold - night lunch. And it's the dog that used to gamely follow me down to the lake where we cut the ice to get a pail of water. I would sometimes have to carry her back through the deep snow. She came regularly to pat my face in the morning when it was getting -up time, and was more dependable than an alarm clock. No wonder there is gloom in the house- hold." "MIDGE" The following from a letter from an old Clinton boy, Mr, Fred Sloman; was sent into The Homemaker of the Globe: "There is some gloom today be- cause yesterday a train killed our school -car dog, Midge. The gloom is apt to last, for at each mile -post we will call at the many friends of Midge will express their regret, and each expression will cause another flow of tears in this household. Midge was something like a Pomeranian that had grown a half-size too large. She was only 14 years old! She liv- ed most of her known life as the toy of Chris Burns, trapper. Ile says that many times in days gone by he has put Midge in his pack -seek and carried her with his equipment on snowshoes when the long trail was too difficult for het short legs. "A hobo got off it train at Stack - pool once to warm: himself, and I was surprised to see him bend down and act like a baby over my bit of a dog. He came quickly to ask if I knew who owned it, His eyes were shin- ing when he said he know it was Midge. He had had Midge cuddle under his blankets in the lumber camps when they drove logs dawn the river nine years ago. Chris Burns gave Midge to me three years ago. He had. to part with her because his big sleigh dogs played too roughly with her, and the day of her youth was past. Burns cried unabashed when I carried the bit of a dog away. He meant me to give it to somebody who would destroy it mercifullyor give it an old -age home. I kept it, and, in spite of old age, Midge was eager to play, but would tire in five ]minutes. She was a good little sport, "We are a cruel, untrained people, most of us, and we allow dogs and cats and horses to suffer in a way that would shock the Humane So. ciety, (Once I saw a boy kill his pet. clog with an axe in a fit of anger when it .couidrilt, pe wouldn't, pull a big load.) "lWlidge was a lovable 'thing. I think in the last three years of her Iife she taught many children to'fon- dle or pet or work a dog with tem- perance. "Today trainmen and secitionnien and passengers and camp ]nen are asking me if Midge is really dead: And I think Midge wanted to die. Maybe she knew that she couldn't MOO like she used to. When the East train passed she walked over to sit on a great chunk of snow that the plow, had, thrown up. She wasn't more 'than four, feet from the rails,. and -t never saw her, sit that close before. She let the whole train pass until the second last coach, and then, from where I stood on the school step, fif- teen yards away it appeared as if she stood up and, deliberately jumped under the train, A coach step bit her ONE OF CANADA'S li'IOST BEAU- TIFUL SHOWS That incomparable show of the year in Canada for beauty—the an- nual Chrysanthemum Show at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, held the first two weeks in November and is now coming to an end. The display of 2,000 individual plants. with over 20,000 blooms presented a riot of colour and shades, and is considered to be the finest Show for several years. There were 32 named varieties, which were originated at the Central Experimental Farm, •and 100 new va- rieties, also products of the Farm, as yet unnamed. There . were also many of the very finest speciments of the standard -varieties. One of the special attractions of. this year's show was the J, R. Booth, one of the finest of the Central Ex- perimental Farm creations, named' after the late famous Ottawa lum- berman and railway builder. It is a brilliant yellow that now holds re- gal rank among chrysanthemum en- thusiasts. In an adjoining greenhouse to where the 20,000 .chrysanthemum blooms were on display the finest collection of geraniums in Canada was on view, among which were 23 varieties originated at the Farm, some being very large and beautiful singles specially adapted for pot cul- ture, These geraniums offer an in- finite variety in colour, size end qual- ity. Wlhile the chrysanthemum is a na- tive of China, it was developed to a state of beauty and magnificence in Japan, where chrysanthemum exhi- bitions are among the most noted of the various festivals 'ef that country. It was introduced into Europe in the 18th century and was first grown at the famous botanical gardens at Rew, England, in 1790. The first Chrys- anthemum Show was held in England in 1825, The Show held at the Central Ex- perimental Farm in Ottawa is among the finest of its kind on this side of the world. HOW TO KEEP CANADIAN CHEESE Canadian Cheddar cheese is made in various sizes and can he secured at all seasons of the year and in almost any quantity. Many people , prefer to buy only what is needed for a few days at a time and, in that ease, there is no difficulty in keeping it. Those who live some distance from a shop can buy it in large amounts and, with proper care, keep it in good con- dition for considerable time. For the average family a 10 -pound cheese is usually a convenient amount to buy at one time. One-half of the cheese may be preserved for future use -by covering the freshly cut side with a thin layer of paraffin wax and keeping it in as cool a placeas pos- sible until required. The other half will keep fresh and moist if put on a flat plate or sheet of waxed paper with the freshly cut side down. When serving, it is better to scoopout the amount required with a small .spoon or knife, leaving the outer edge un- cut, The cheese should be turned up- side down on the plate as soon as the meal is over and but away in the coolest place available. This will prevent the cheese from becoming hard or; dry and there will be no dan- ger of it moulding. If cheese is allowed to become hard and dried out, it is not spoiled andshould not be wasted. It can be grated and used in : cooking, If very dry, cheese will keep .well if put in a clean, dry, glass jar and it is just as valuable for cooking as fresh moist cheese. It will usually have a more pronounced .flavor than fresh cheese and this is often desirable when con bining it .with other foods.

The Mayor, walking past, gave him a warning to slow down, but he did not heed it, The Mayor' sent ':a traffic policeman to catch him. Af- ter the chase the. policeman said: "Why did yob ignore the Mayor's signal?" "Oh " said the tourist, "I thought that was another hitch -hiker thumb- ing his way." `' —Frisco. ** **** * , * * • • • " OUR RECIPE FOR TODAY * This is cheese week so here k are some more cheese recipes. * Cut diemout and paste in your * recipe books for use on future * occasions, * Cheese, Biscuits * 2 cups flour * 4 tsp. baking powder * 2 tbsp, lard or butter * V4 tsp, salt * % cup milk (about) * i/ cup grated cheese.

When cheese is eaten as the main dish at a meal which is finished with a light dessert ,there is no cause for any digestive disturbance. Cheese is one of the best muscle builders for older boys and girls, as well as for adults, and is entitled to a larger place in Canadian menus. e The cheddar type is practically the only kind:of cheese made in Canadian cheese factories. In point .of quality Canadian cheese stands absolutely at the top as compared with that which is exported by any other country. If served in quantity, cheese may well replace more expensive foods in many meals and should be used in this way rather than os a supplement. to them. The diet will thus remain well balanced and the cost will be considerably less. • Because cheese ie highly concen- trated food, it should be combined and eaten with starchy foods, such as bread. The addition of vegetables and juicy fruits to the menua is advis- able. Although cheese may be serv- ed without any further preparation, it cam be used in cooking in many. different ways. It does not lose its flavour or nutritive value in cooking, but it should be borne in mind that cheese will be harrier .to digest if subjected to high temperatures. YOUR LIVER'S MAKING YOU i' FEEL ,.

In loud acclaim a thousand voices call, So full the streets one went to clear the way; Since that far night when cattle lent their stall, No beast has ever known such splendid day. Again, tomorrow, blows and bitter fare; Not purple robes the chafing pack instead; But that one day he heard a whis.s pered prayer, And once a hand in blessing touch., ed his head. 11?, J.

For decades we've known this lordly old tree, Oft rested beneath his fine shade, We measured his bore, admired his great height, And oft 'round his foot we have played.
