:THE` GAME
Let's play it out—this little game
called Life,
Where we are listed for so brief a
spell;
Not just to win, amid the tumult rife,
Or where acclaim an gay applauses
swell;
Nor just to conquer -where someone
must lose,
Or reach the goal whate er be the
cost;
For there are other, better ways to
choose,
' Though in the end the battle may be
lost.
Let's play it out as if it were a sport,
Wherein the game is better than the
goal,
And never mind the detailed "scores"
report
Of errors made, if each with daunt-
less soul,
But stick it out until the day is done,
Not wasting fairness for success or
fame,
So when the battle has been lost or
won,.
The world at least can say,. "Ile
played the game."
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.
But we like the man or woman, boy

IT ACHES!
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.

be false to youl"

College chap joined 39 other students ,to form a test class or clinic.
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.

or girl who, when putting their hands
to anything will stay.right'with it un-
til it is finished. 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.

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-

"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,

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.
A HIKER
A tourist was travelling at 'a high
rate of speed through a little country
seat. 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.

FACTS ABOUT CHEESE
A pound of whole -milk cheese con-
tains about four ounces of protein,
the body building element.
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.

That only Autumn knows;

The, staring pity of his eyes,
The tender softness of his throat.

While on his back a slender stranger

No beast has ever known such

"THE OLD MAPLE TREE"
(This old tree stood on the Mafo-

the past winter.)
The old Maple Tree in the valley is
gone,
A. kingly old tree was he,
In confident grace he ruled in his
place,
With quiet and calnm majesty.
And now that he's gone we mourn his
sad fate,
This dearest of old maple trees,
Who calmly; surveyed his fertile do-
main
As he waved his bola arms in the
breeze.
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.
How many are gone of the children
who played
In the vale round the old maple tree,
But those who remain recall the old
,days
When we were so happy and free.
Iow few are remembered of deys
long ago
The Hendersons, Hobbses, McNiffs,
The F.inlays, the Aliens and the Mee
Quoids,
Are gone like last winter's snow.

Men's lives slip away like a day.
Of the Johnston' Kilpatricks, there
still are a few
Who love the old friends of a truth,
In the far -away ]and they hope to
renew
The old sacred friendships of youth.,

And' we are forgotten for aye,
May the 01105 who succeed do a much
