There are women who are healthy, There are women who are wealthy, "There are women who will always have their way. There are women who are truthful,: "Thereare women who are youthful, (Wits there ever any woman who was old?)

There are women 'who are tender, 'There are women who are slender, 'There are women who are large and fat and red; There are women who have tarried, There are women who have married. There are women who are speechless, but—they're dead! So many women seem to have the r gift of ready speech; they can talk other day and bought a number of warier "woolies" for ,her husband, just as anycareful: wife would do, and she sees that he weals them and doesn't take thein off too early. I'd cbe willing• to wager. Her example as a wife and mother might be copied with profit by many in humbler homes, An Ontario Municipal officer of health_ is credited with: the statement that people ,are enjoying 'better health during the years of economic depression than formerly and he as- cribes it to the fact that plainerand more wholesome food is being eaten, of necessity, luxuries of fare having had to be cut; out. It may, easily :be that when people can afford to purchase them they may eat a lot of foods which tickle the palate but which are not so good for the health. If food is •partieular ly well liked one may eat too much of it, to, while the temptation is not so great with the plainer food. One is not likely to eovereat when one's meal consists of bread and milk or oatmeal porridge, although both are not only palatible but wholesome. But one may eat too much roast tur- key and dressing; also wholesome and good in moderation. -So with many other rich foods, good isi moderation but not to be eaten lavishly nor too often. For health the plain foods, meat, vegetables, cereals, fruit, milk and eggs, eaten regularly and not too lavishly, would seem to be the best to build up and maintain health. REBESAIL at any time. and at almost any length and I have always sort: of envied themey So often when I nave felt tongue- tied and couldn't think what to say, I would have given anything to be able to just rattle on, as many women I know can, But it seems that we slow - tongued ones are in good company. Queen Mary, it is said, is' in the same class. She cannot master . "small talk," any more than her humbler sisters and it is only with her own family and intimate friendsthat she is completely at her ease. If a wo- man in her position, where she has to meet all sorts of people and take part in all sorts of public and bril- liant functions, cannot overcome her •shyness and learn to give and take in the conversational line, what chance have we lesser folk? We may just reign ourselves• to our fate and do the best we can. But Queen Mary, it appears, is a model wife and mother and "looks welI to the ways of her household."

Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.D„ Associate Secretary WHOOPING -COUGH Highly contagious at all duxes;, highly dangerous for the child under • three years of age and particularly so for the baby, is a fair description of whooping -cough. Like several • other complaints, whooping -cough starts as an ordin- •ary cold, with running of the nose, :a dry cough and a little fever. Instead • of clearing up like a cold, however, the cough persists until it comes as • a series of explosive coughs; ending up with a crowing sound, or whoop, –as the child is at last able to draw in his breath. The child is frightened by this ex- perience. Vomiting frequently oc- curs, and between loss of food and "loss of sleep, the , little • patient's weight and strength are apt to di- minish'. • The younger the child is, •the more serious ;the condition. In Canada, last year, there were 552 deaths from .whooping -cough, and no less than 388 of these were of chil- dren : under ono year .of age. In the ease of older children,• whooping - cough is uncomfortable and distres- -sing, but it is seldom dangerous. The responsible germ comes from the throat and'bronehi of those who "have the disease. The germ is thrown out in the mouth, spray which accom- panies coughs and sneezes. The pa- -tient is frequently too young to iknow that a handkerchief should be used to •cover coughs and sneeaes, and so' he sprays' his germ's into', the •faces of 'those, who are nearby. A really praotioal diffieu1ty'inthe ..:control of whooping -cough arises out Of the fact that, during the week' or two when the child who is develop- ing :the disease but who apparently has nothing more •than a common cold, theinfection is being spread to. thoac with whom .he comes into con- tact. It is obviousthat it is the young child and, above all others, therbaby, who must . be protected. This means that no one who has a cough or cold should acme near the child, and that no . coughing youngster . or sneezing relative should be allowed to hang over babyhs crib or carriage. , The child with whooping -cough re- quires an abundance of fresh air and sunshine. most deaths occur because a pneumonia develops; the whooping cough seems to make the lungs ready Victims for further disease, such as pneumonia. For some unknown rea- son, females 'suffer more frequently than males. One attack usually con- fers immunity for life. There is lack of unanimity con- cerning the value of whooping -cough vaccine as a preventive . measure. Same authorities have had good re- sults; others have not. This is. some- thing to • tallk over with your family doctor; but, in the meantime, keep Your young child away from those who have colds, remembering that what appears to be a cold may be the, onset of whooping -cough or measles.
