On Monday next ,we •celebrate an-
other aneiversary of our birth as a.
nation and we would all do well to
keep in mind the feet that it is the
individual -citizen, the men, women
and children in it which makes the
nation great or otherwise. Canada,
in spite of her many advantages, can
never become the nation which she
should be except as her people, the
sons and daughters, grandsons and
'granddaughters of the men and wo-
men who first set up hones in its
wilderness, together with those who
have come here to find liberty and a
chance to live and found homes, de
velope into the sort of citizens' which
will build up a great nation. -
Canada has been wonderfully bles-
sed in natural advantages and while
we have in the past few years suffer-
ed, as the whole world has suffered,
from an industrial depression, we are
not downhearted. We have faith in
our country and in the people who
owe her allegiance and we look for-
ward with hope and assurance that
we shall yet become one of the great
nations •of the world.
As we celebrate another national
birthday we hang out our flags, -we
pin up our bunting; we sing "0 Can-
ada' and "The Maple Leaf," with
high courage and cheerful voices and
hearts. God bless Canada, her riv-
ers and valleys, her forests and
mines; her fields and her orchards,
which make Up her material wealth,
but may heaven's riehent blessing be
given to her sons and daughters, in
whom alone, her spiritual wealth is
found.
An expert in child -training has
some wise words about discipline,
which young mother's, especially,
would do well to heed. She says:
"We have been discussing the im-
portance of masking the child happy
during his pre-school years and ae-
centing encouragement and self -de-
velopment.
Is there then no place for discip-
line? Are we to let him reach
school age and. then start to make
him mind?
If we did this, however, without
having disciplined him before we
have let ourselves in for a lot of
trouble. The truth is that if a ebild
has reached six years of age without
any idea of authority he never will
have it. He:can be scared into mind-
ing and doing what he is told, and
"appear" to be a good boy, but there
is no foundation far either self-
discipline or superimposed discipline.
He navy be resentlul and ;openly de -
calif'. Service

THE TAPEWORM
Man may harbour in his intestines
• certain tapeworms, which take' their
name from their resemblance to a
strip of white tape. The two prin-
tipal forms are Taenia solium, or.
pork tapeworm, and Taenia saginate,
or beef tapeworm.
Pork tapeworm is rare in this
country; it the beef tapeworm
which is commonlyfound here, Per-
sons of all ages may have tapeworms.
The presence of a tapeworm is rare-
ly dangerous, and frequently causes
no disturbance.
Once the individual knows of its
- presence, worry and anxiety usually
• develop and then follows a train of
symptosis which may be due, in part,
to the tapeworm itself, but which are
just as.lik'ely to be due to the state
• of mind, of the patient.
Some patients complain of colic
and nausea, with diarrhoea and con-
stipation at intervals. The appetite
may be irtoreased, and certain pat-
ients became anaemic.
The tapeworm gainsentrance to
the human body when improperly
cooked pork or beef, infested with
the parasite, is. eaten. The tapeworm
fastens itself to the lining of the in-
testine. The perk spoeles has tiny
"hooks and . suckers ,for this ,purpose,'
and is known as the armed tapeworm
in contrast to the beef species which
'has. suckers , onlyt

IN NORTH, MISSIONARY SAYS
Century United Church Decides to
- Support Circuit in Nipissing Die -
strict --Perils of Forest Fires Grap- 1
hicalty Related.
The following is from; the Toronto
Daily Star and relates to the charge
of a former CModerich township !boy,
Mr. C. D. Cox: •
New Toronto, June 10. -Many are
the dangers, both financial and phy-
sical, which beset those intrepid
enough to select iNpiasing district
as a home in the "hack to the land"
movement, C. D. Cox, missionary
there, told men:lbers of Century Uni-
ted church yesterday. His visit re-
sulted
esulted from the church's decision to
"bring the mission fields nearer
home," by supporting a circuit itself,
and the selection of his charge for
the purpose.
"I don't believe that any have been
placed by the government, but a few
have come in on their own initiative.
At best they are only ekeing out an
existence. Their latest worry is for-
tape worms may be well over twenty
feet Gradually, the mature seg.
ments are shed and, •pissing from
the bowel, together with the eggs,
may be recognized.
The tapeworm has no digestive
system. 'It is a real parasite, ab-
sorbing the food it needs from, the
alimentary juices. The life cycle is
completed when theeggs, as passed
from, the, human, gain entrance to
the bodies ef the respective animals.
Here they invade the muscles ani
form little cysts which contain the
tapeworm head. When present in
large numbers, the eyste give t,, the
meat what is ,known as a "measly"
appearance.
Government inspection in slaugh-
ter, houses is our first line of de-
fence, and the thorough' cooking of
mate is the second. ; The stools
from the patient should be burned,
thus destroying the eggs.
Treetmeat, to be effective, must
get mid of the head. Following up-
on a few days of soft food, the pat-
ient ie'given a drug which stuns and
kills the tapeworm causing it to let
go its hold, and while it is in thrs
state, it is swept out'of'the body by
a 'suitable lagative. Such tieetinent
should be taken only under the direc
tions of the family. doctor.
Questions concerning Health,' ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical At-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter:
fiant of ruler Or he may give in and
seem to conform while -underneath he
harborer the thought of doing all he
can under cover.
A few children with stern stuff In
them naturally and - a sense of hon -
on that mysteriously descends from
somewhere, may right about face
after six and be fine in every way,
even though they may have gone
praeticalIy undisciplined • in their
early years. It can and does happen
that way occasionally, but not very
often!
"So it •seems necessary to do more
than encourage the good qualities in
the little child and keep him busy,
amused and happy. ThIs is nine -
tenths of his training, or should be,
but the other cannotbeoverlooked
if he has to conform to some sort of
authority, without sourness and
struggle as long es he lives,
Discipline begins right in the era-
dle the day he is born. The baby's
regular routine is the foundation of
his accepting government happily
later on.
This regular regimen should be un-
disturbed as long as possible. Pr -o
gram is our greatest uncredited aid
in all child training. When the child
or adult knows what to expect and
when to expect it, he naturally falls
in line without mental conflicts.
"Individuallity and personal privi-
lege,need not be sacrificed, as some
think, to this sort of order. The child
will have to live in a world of ether
people (social order we mallit) and
that world, whatever it ,will be, won't
be entirely his world. He will have
people next door, people across the
street, people in school, in business,
people, people everywhere and he
will have to adjust himself to con-
ditions, and condition& always mean
some kind of law, If he does not
learn what orders are in his home
when he is very small, never will be
learn to be very happy when he is
en his own and finds the world im-
patient with a playboy, an outlaw, a
chronic grouch or whatever he hap-
pens to be.
Kindest Procedure
"Does it, therefore, not loot- as
though the kindest thing we can do
is to teach him not only self-discip-
line but also conformaiton to outside:
authority while he still is .young e•
nough to absorb these lessons fro -at
those he loves and trusts, and still
leave him a contented • mind? •
I state my reasons here because I
feel that so many mothers misunder-
staad newer methods of guidance and
are overaccenting liberty.
I believe that some of the extreme
behaviorists are to blame. There is
a difference between Liberty and free-
dom. No one bielieves in freedom
more, than I do, but license, never.
I do not believe in `ifrnstration" ei-
ther. There tan be such a thing as
development of the highest order'
combined with disetpline in such a
way as to noakea contented and hap-
py product.".
The above sounds to me safe and
sane,
To hear some people talk some-
times one would think that their
children were going to be turned out
into a world made especially for
them and to their' order, so that they
would -never .need to . consider the
feelings of others. Set a child goes
a very little distance until he begins
tomeet others and there is need for
adjustment, giving and taking. A
child is in for an unhappy trine un-
less he has been prepared in a meas-
ure for getting along, with other
people.
Children, too, are much happier if
they are brought up to; eonform to
certain rules. Just ,note those who
are thus trained, then the spoiled,
untrained child, and see', which' is the
happier.

Farnilers supplement the products
of their labor by working in camps
and . on. relief projects, he said, If
it were not for this they would not
be able to live there.
One of the most interesting phases
of his work led him into the pathe
of early !Canadian history, Mr. Cox
related, "It is easy to trace the path
of history along the rivers or the for-
ests of the north," he went on..
"One can tell where the explorers
and the missionaries have gone a-
long the liversti Their influence on
the Indians is very marked. Farther
inland we have different problems to
deal with, because they have not met
this influence."
Diktributes Bales
The mission field which members
of .Century United church have un-
dertaken to support is 40 miles broad
by 25 deep, and every year Ivfr. Cox
travels from ten to twelve thousand
miles in the discharge :of his duties,
he stated. One of these is distribut-
ing to needy folk the bales which are
sent every year from churches In
southern Ontario.
"The bales all come to North Bay
and are distributed to our districta.
front there," ho said: "People aren't
sending so much stuff.°+now--J guess
they are running out Of old clothes,
or need them themselves. People In
the north need them more, too.
"All the goods are given out pri-
vately, No one knowsthat another -
person got good, or how many or
what he received."
SEA FOODS SAFEGUARD
BODY AGAINST GOITRE
High Iodine Content :Makes Ocean
Fish and Shellfish Protectors of
Hunan Health,
Among alI the foods which Man
eats, sea fish and shellfish are much
the richest sources of iodine, and the
sigrilcance of this• condition lies' in
the feet that the presence of an ade
quare supply of iodine protects the
human body against forms of goitre,
a disease which in some districts is
common.
It is not by chance,' indeed, that
goitre is less prevalent in sea coast
districts than elsewhere. The great-
er consumption of sea foods in such
areas gives the people the iodine
which humans must have if health is
to be safeguarded,
Goitre, as one encyclopedia ex-
plains, is "a term used to indicate
various diseases. of the thyroid
gland' and iodine, which, as mast.
people know, is a non-nretallie ahem,
Mal element, is "essential' to norma;
thyroid activity." . Land plants and
land animals contain very little iod-
ine, for there is little of it in the
soil on which the plants grow and
the animals graze, and therefore
these foods cannot be relied upon
for iodine supply for the body. On
the other hand, marine plants and
the fish and shellfish -which inhabit
the sea obtain high iodine oontens
from the waters of the ocean, which
Is the world's .great;- storehouse of
this element, and thus it is that per. -
sons having seafoods:.regularly in
the diet get from them the iodine
which their bodies must have if dis-
ease is to be averted. 'Moreover, the
use of these foods at time of special
strain, as, for instance, during adol-
escence, "a period of, great physical
and psychic stress,' is' particularly
desirable since at such times addi-
tional iodine is necessary to the
proper thyroid functioning, while it
is also to be kept in mind, of course,
that fish' are also rich- in vi -taming.'
As a matter of interest it may alga
bo pointed out that in making inves•
ti ration "a few years 'ago into the

To -day we see our country stand

To tread the joy and woe of years
Still hidden in the mists of God:
Blessed with the gift of her stalwart
youth,
Rich in the wealth of her yielding
soil,
Her orchards, her forests, her golden
mains,
And her sons who shun not earnest
toil.
Seeing her thus; so richly blessed,
Shall we forget her earlier days
When sites whereon our cities thrive
Were naught but vast,untrodden.
ways;
When only her Atlantic shore
Had old-world knowledge sought,
or seen;
When east was "here", and west was
"there"
And half a world still rolled be-
tween?
And, thus remembering, can we cease
To hold in honour those who fought
And, with unconquerable zeal, -
Our great Confederation bought?
Undaunted strove they, many years,
These brilliant Fathers of our land,,
That, through their country's beund-
less space,
Union might reign on every hand:
Fettered by fears, distrust, unrest,
Yet never losing sight of goal—
An all -embracing confederacy
And Canada one united whole,

Yet, challenging the universal Nay,
Re finds in each a brick predestinate
And, from his innocent plunder of

He makes a home out of the world's

And I, too, pick and choose with
