'—Katheryn Munrq, 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'.

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 From the atached head grows se'g- ments of a half inch or more in 'length, and the total length of the PAGE 7 Care of Children Household Economics SORE TRIALS BESET SETTLER ( est fires, of which we have had quite 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. a few "I don't know anything that will strike panic into the hearts of mien and animals like a forest fire. M'ueh of the land up there is slash, that is, undergrowth and forest fram, which the :best timber has been taken, When it begins to burn it isamaz- ing to see the animals' come. out to- gether, heading for water. "Deer, fawns, foxes, rabbits, do- mestic cattle, they all run together. before the fire, sideways to the wind if they can. Their instinct is won- derful. They can smell fire miles a- way, and declare a truce_for the time being. Cattle Come Home • '"One man who was recently burnt out said he wouldn't have his cattle for a conple of weeks, because they had run before the fire, and it would take them that long to get back. They Wander back themselves." 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 iodine content of feeds and the 'tak- ing up of iodine from food by the body, a distinguished' scientist used in his experiments several fish pro- ducts but only a single land growth (one of the water cresses) since he lYad found no dtheo lend pliant or any Maid. animal' at all • comparable to sea organisms in. iodine :content: CANNING DEMONSTRATION UN- DER JUNIOR INSTITUTE AUSPICES A demonstration on canning and the use of vegetables in the home wilt be held in the Library basemlent, Sea forth, an Friday, June 28th.
