PATCHWORK QUILT
Here's all the Summer folded on a
bed,
With plots of grass and dewy gar-
den flowers, •
Bright daisy -tufts, and roses gar
landed;
And golden buds from honeysuckle
(bowers.
Hero's vanished color strung upon a
thread
Between whoselevel boundaries are
seen
Victorian russet, Georgian damask
red,
And stars and moons of gentle
Regency green.
Here's all the tale of many lifetimes
told:
° This square was .brought from
China; this dove -grey
'Was Lydiaes wedding -gown; the band
of gold
Was worn by Deborah when •she
ran away;
.Tonathan's daughter . died at two
years old,
This was her .bonnet, white, with
cowslip leaves;
Robert's Deliley wore the marigold;
daughter or, great-granddaughter is
taking up the fad and making quilts
is "quite the thing" these days. `A.
very colorful showing of quilts was,
en .exhibition in the lecture xoom of
one of our local churches the other
'day, got together by one of the
groups of . women .workers.
Andas for knitting, nearly every-
body knits these days, from the little
girl to the aged grandni!other. They
knit Little soft undergarments for
the babe, heavier outer garments and
wool teddies for the older children
for play suits. They knit smart lit-
tle suits for the small girl or boy,
sweaters •or suits for the grown-up
girl and fancy or heavy sweaters for
the college boy or the smart young
man .to wear on every occasion when
a sweater is needed. 'They, knit af-
ghans of every pattern and color,
from the, plain knitted strips, made
front odds and ends of yarn of all
colors, to the most beautifully shaded
creations which vie for first place at
the fall exhibitions, Ob, it is rather
funny to look about at a gathering of
womten and see the variety of things
which can be knitted and to see the
way their knitting needles fly.
And this brown print was Aunt

Wouldn't our grandmothers and

Just now T have my mind on quilts.
There is scarcely a house, T am
sure, but has an old patchwork quilt,

were the work of some grandmother,
who sat•and stitched by a sunny
window during the -long winter days
or but on the back porch, perhaps, in
the summer, leaving to daughter or

she induce her daughter to follow her

TRANSFER
Modern transportation' is One of
the wonders of our age. The facility
and 'speed with whioh people and
things can be transferred from one
place to another is truly remarkable,
And, yet, the oldest means of trans-
portation are stiII in daily use, De-
spite, the motor ear our legs are used
to get us to most of the places we
want to go.
As far as we know, the germs of
disease continue, to transfer them-
selves from the sick to 'the well by
the same old way. Because people depending upon the ' violence with
move around more readily, and tea- whioh they are projected. They will
vel great' distances in a short space remain suspended in the air for some
of time, the spread of disease germs 1.minutes. To them are attached the
is facilitated. . Almost surely some germs which were in the sputum as
of the travellers will carry the. germs it was coughed up from the diseds-
of disease in their bodies and will ed lung into the mouth. Anyone con,;
spread them to others in their tra- ing within the range of these par -
vele. ticles will likely inhale some of
The germs of tuberculosis have
only a few means of escape from
the body. When the disease is in the
lungs, . (by fax the 'most common
• site), the germs escape in the sputum,
the secretion coughed up from the
lungs. Some .of the sputum will be
• swallowed, and the germs which it
contains will pass through the in-
+estines.
The transfer of tulbereulosis germs
rdepends upon the transfer of sput-
um. At one time, it was thought,
when the'sputurn was ,deposited, on
;the ground or some other place,
that after it dried, it was blown into
:air ' as dust, which, when inhaled,
carried with it the germs of tubereul-; f
osis into the body of the person, who
breathed in the dust.
We . no longer fear dried sputum
as dust because we know that drying
destroys most germs and if to the
drying process is' added sunlight, the
destruction is complete. It is to the ,
fresh and: moist finepartielee throws
out of the mouth in talking, .cough-
ing .or sneezing that attention is di-
rected,
These particles of saliva are
thrown a distance of several feet,
them, The lips will 'be covered with
saliva and so it is dangerous to hiss
the lips of a tuberculosit person.
From what has been said, it is ob-
vious that the mouth should be pro-
tected by a piece of gauze or hand-
kerchief held in front when the per-
son is. coughing ,or sneezing, and
that we should not come close to
those who do not ,take such precau
tions because many germs are trans-
ferred in this way. '
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the 'Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter:
Knitting needles do not "click"
much nowadays as celluloid needles
are used to a large extent. Then they
are all sizes and eolors. It is inter-
esting to see a nicely gowned lady
with a bit of knitting, in a color
that "goes" with her frock, and work-
sngiwith needles which also harmon-
ize. Knitting is a nice, soothing job
and is conducive to bright, happy
'conversation. It is• a pastime which
many a woman, worn with social dut-
ies and tired of doing nothing or of
playing bridge, perhaps, might find
restorative of poise and mental tial -
awe,
But if you are just learning to knit,
try something simple as a beginning.
I used to say that I Iiked knitting be-
cause it didn't take any brains. That,
however, was before the ladies began
making .those exquisite,`.lacy pullov-
ers, some of which look as if they
might have been woven on fair looms.
They, I make no doubt, take some
brains, although those who make
them will tell' you, airily, that they
are "very simple.",
But start something easy, . a two
and two baby's vest or a 'pair of
wristlets which you can send next
fall to some schoolboy in the north
to keep his wrists warm, You will
very soon get used to handling the.
needles and will want to try some-
thing 'harder..
For me, I shall never be (satisfied
until I try one of those circular need-
les, on which you can go around and
around endlessly. But I do not want
to knit myself a skirt, However, I
shall manage somehow' to get my
hand in on one of those needles yet,
they fascinate pie, though knitting.
on one of them might become mo-
notonous as you never get anywhere.
Oh, knitting is the thing, but we
shall not do much more of it now un-
til the autunur again.

To Protect Shrubs
From Dogs •
A dog at liberty, 'even in the -ex-
uberance of newly -found. freedom
seldom misses an opportunity to ex.
plore • every hole ,and corner: in the
course of his perambulations, and a
cat just goes and fights inhere it
Iikes, Unfortunately this superab-
undant energy is accompaeind by•de-
mage to : garden and ogler property
in the environs. Neither the dog nor
the. at have the. 'slightest respect for
flower beds or for the cherished or-
namental palms by the front porch,
and often theee animals show a dis-
tinct antipathy to shrubbery. In
their boisterous way they create v:
lot of •damage and it is not always
possible to drive them away in time.
However, an enterprising entomol-
ogist has found a way out of the dir-
faculty. Taking: a hunt franc the
methods of entomologists in dealing
wth insect pests ,on garden plants,
it was discovered that nicotine sul-
phate, the evidej,y-used inselcticide,
provided an effective measure for
keeping dogs and cats at bay. The
odour of nicotine' is very repulsive
to dogs and cats, and as their sense
of smell' is very much (teener than
that of human beings it is possible
to use, the :compound so diluted so
that flowers, shrub's, buildings; walls
or walks are not damaged, but cats
and dogs' will avoid the sprayed -ar-
eas. The splay evaporates in time
and will be washed , off by rain.,
Therefore it should be renewed every
two weeks, and after heavy rains. A
weak solution should be used, such•
as a tablespoonful of nicotine sus
phate to five gallons of water. The
solution is also a good insecticide.
Nicotine sulphate is sold in seed and
feed stores.

Beware of the Clothes
!doth
The damage caused by clothes
moths in Canada every year is ex-
tensive and the prevention of that
damage requires the exercise of care,
forethought, and vigilance, states
the Dominion Entomologist, Domin-
ion Department of Ag-ricture. Ar-
ticles of clothing and .other meter -
Mid subject to attack should not be
left undisturbed for long periods,
particularly duffing the sustainer
months, in such places as cupboards,
attics, and trunks, unless adequate
precautions have been taken to pro-
tect them. The articles after being
thoroughly brushed, (particularly in
strong sunlight, should be placed
in well -made trunks or chests with
tigbltly fitting aids, or euel*sed in
cotton or paper. bags, or in card-
board boxes sealed with paper strips. `
Wrapping clothing in two thickness- 1
es of strong wrapping paper, taking
care that the edges are turned down '
so that no moths can gain entrance,'
is also recommended as an alterna-
tive measure,. According to the Do-
minion Entomologist one pound of
fresh naphthalene flakes, or a sim-
ilar quantity of paradichlorobenzene 1
scattered among the garments in an
ordinary sized trunk assures perfect
protection from moth injury. When
cotton or paper moth -(bags are used,
one -halt pound of eitherof the a-
bove chemicals may be enclosed in
each ba''g as an additional precaution,
badly entire buildings are y 3n-
fested with moths, superheating the
rooms, or fumigation with hydro-
cyanie. acid gas,,,; but cinder expert
supervision only is recommended.

Maple Syrup Can
Be Kept Throughout
The Year
Pt'oduetion of maple syrup and
maple sugar this year in eastern
Canada promises to be higher than
for several years past, according to
the Fruit Branch, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture, and consequent-
ly the price is low. The season op-
ened early in 11iarch in Southwestern
Ontario and is now about to lelese in
Eastern Quebec and the .Maritime
Provinces.
Notwithstanding the general' high
quality of, Maple 'syrup and maple
sugar' produced in Canada, the De-
partment points -out that the per
capita consumption of maple products
in the Dominion is only 2.7 pounds
annually, Most of this Is consumed
in the spring time, for . the reason
that it is not generally known that
maple products can be kept through-
out the year. Any fear that the syr,
up will ferment in cans that have
been openedmay be obviated by re-
moving the syrup from the cans when
purchased in the spring, heating the
syrup, putting it in glass sealers; and
storing in a cool dry place
Export of Canadian maple products
to the United States, which, for soma
time, was the princepal market, is
new restricted, due largely to a
tariff of six cents per pound on maple
sugar and four cents per pound on
maple syrup. This year's `supply of
maple products will be sufficient to
meet all domestic dendand. •
A True Story
She was a tiny little girl, four
or possibly five years old, and her
father was interested in testing her
knowledge of safety at the booth of
the Woman's 'S'afety Buren a of the
Chicago Motor 'Club.
On one side of a small folder there
was a safety pledge, and this. the
little mite, with:-. a scrawling' baby
hand, sighed "Leila." Alt the questions'
were answered properly. She knew
it was safer to cross at the corner.
than in the middle of the 'block; she
said it was safer to walk, than to sun
across streets; she was positive that
children never should play in the
streets. It wasevident that Leila
had been welt trained and that she
showed unusual. wisdom.
The crowning proof of this fact
can when shewas, required.. to ans-
wer the last ,question: "Who must
look out for your safety on the
street?" There was na hesitancy a-
bout the unexpected answer, "God,"
she wrote.
If those around the booth chuck-
led rest assured it was not irrever-
ently. In the laugh the shadow of,
a tearwas found: May the confidence
of this little one never' be confound-
ed! Sh'e, has more wisdom than we;
she does her best and leaves the rest s
to God.:: `Motor News, Chicago.

I COULD NOT TELL THE JOYS

I never can be glad enough,
Though I should laugh all day,
I could not :show enough of joy
That I have comethisway, •
That:I havecome• from stranger

Unguessed, unknown, unseen;
Though when I leave, this world will

As though I had not been.
I never can give thanks enough
For daily miracles
Of dawn and noon, of mellow eve,
That weaves its subtle spells.
I could not ever tell the joys
Which quicken in my breast, '
Though they were made a rosary
And counted without rest,
I never can be glad enough
To fitly, fully prove
The bliss of living, moving in

TO A BABY CHICK
Animated wisp, of fluff
Daring all the world
To behold a miracle
An egg -shell has unfurled.
Exquisite as any blossom,
Wings like fairy petals,
Stepping on two golden stems
Through a world of nettles.
Yellow stamen for a beak,
Shining seeds for eyes,
Seeking apprehensive bugs,
Through the leaves' disguise.
Little snuggier, in nay hand
Peep your lullaby;
SIumber like a folded flower,
Softer than a sight..
But no blossom ever owned
Any shining part
Like your elfin pendulum;

SPRINGTIME
Real spring has come, not shifty
windy rant,
But violets growing down a quiet
Iane,
Not sudden gusts of cold from off
the sea,
But quivering wings in every bud-
ciing tree, , ,
Real .spring, with clays like jewels set
apart,
And all its age-old hunger 111 your
heart.
An aching need for sun against your
face,
And all the old sweet freedom of the
51100.
Real spring, with wide brown fur-
rows wet and have,
A new, young greeness showing
everywhere,
New lambs and colts in pastures
wat•nr and clean,
Old orchard trees with daisies in be-
tween.
A mother -hen at shining dusk of day,
Finds a warns corner ep against the
hay,
And makes of her own body safe and
crude
A kindly shelter for her tiny brood.
Wide fields of wheat whose petals,
one by one,
Push small green fingers up to find
the sun, '
Whose roots :lie deep below the fur-
rowed plain,
Seeking their substance from the sun
and rain. •
Real spring, with all the fragrant
lovely. earth,
Pulsing with gracious life and joy
and •birth,
A quickening in the hidden heat of
things..
Across the starry dark, the beat of
wings.
