Cooper. No doull't most of my readers will have noted that we are to have an- other woman senator, Hon. Cairine Wilson is not to sit solitary in that stately red chamber amongst a crowd • of men any longer. Mr, Bennett has announced the appointment of a wo- man senator in the person of Mes. Reward T. Fa1lIs of Peterboro; who will be known as Hon. Iva Campbell Fallis. In view of the fact that there were seventeen vacancies Mr. Bennett might have even appointed two women, I think, Perhaps he will still do so. Another mentioned along with Mrs. Faille ' was Mrs, Pluniptre of Toronto, a woman who would also have adorned the Position, However, perhaps it is as well to make haste slowly. • A sprinkling of women in all pulblic positions, where matters pertaining to the welfare of "men, women and children are decid- ed, would be all the better for all caneetned, I firmly believe. If homes are the better for women in them, and hones are usually rum with the chief end in view of the benefit of all the family, surely all positions effecting the great family, the human • race, would be the better for their judgment, their advice and their par- ticular viewpoint on all matters con- cerning human welfare. It used to be thought that wo 1 men, who knew how to keep house and mind children, knew nothing whatever about business, the fact being completely overlooked that running a house was in reality run- ning quite, a business. No woman who has successfully managed her home and family, often making an inadepuate income stretch itself •ov- er the many items of food, clothing, shelter• and education, not to men- tion something for recreation and culture, can lie cansidered to be lacking in business ability. But of late years women have demonstrated that they can manage business also in competition with all comers. Al! (that was needed was a chance to try her hand. Or course many women have no business ability and if trust- ed with the task of managing ono would sadly fail. But, as will read- ily be admitted, the same might be said of many men. But there are as many women who could fill im- portant positions as there are men, if only they had a chance. And 1 believe that we should have a bet- ter world, that is a better world in which to live and bring up children, if women's ability were more re- cognized and their help more often called in to the different activities of the world. I do not suppose my opinion would be considered of much value at Ot- tawa, but I believe it might be a good idea for Mr. Bennett to appoint another woman who had taken no particularly prominent part in political life at all, just a plain wo- man tvith a keen mind and a large heart, who could and would consider every question on its merles, to a seat in the senate chamber. I do not mean to infer that the present appointees will not he honest or that they will not take into consideration all sides of a question, but still, a woman who had never made political to tealith Service OF Tilt'' tgartabittn edirat A,ssuritz#inrt and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. GRANT TYPHOID FEVER In cities and in armies, typhoid fever used to be a common and, fre- quently, a fatal disease. One of the encouraging results of our efforts to prevent disease is the practical elim- ination of typhoid fever from modern -cities and; in the Great War, front among the soldiers. This change has taken place under our own eyes so to speak, because having learned of the dangers of impure water and dirty milk, we . have seen water supplies and milk. supplies made clean and •safe, fel- lowed by the •disappearance of tys piloid fever. Why then write about this dis •ease? There :are . several reasons. One is . that there Must be no let- down of present measures to keep water, milkand food supplies safe, or else the disease will return. An- other is that while cities are prat- -'tically free of typhoid fever, ,this disease continues to occur' in. many country' districts. Typhoid fever cannot be controlled -as readily in the country as in the city. It is much easier .to, purify one central water supply than to secure proper protection for hun- dred of wells, A city can have its -milk supply made safe ' by pasteur- ization, but the . country dweller 9keeps on using raw milk. ' Ty'phoid 'fever -is eliffictelt to 'ears - Edited by FLE?MING, M.D., Associate Seeretery trot in the country also :because a- mong those who recover from the disease, quite a number ibeeome car- riers. That is, they continue to pass the germs of typhoid fever in their stools and urine for months and sometimes for years. Such a person, visitingaround in the country, may, if working in the kitchen, infect food, and will infect the privy which, if not carefully screened, gives .access to flies which may soil themselves in the privy and later carry this contamination to the diningrooi or kitehen. The privy being infected, the in- fection may spredd to the well un- less the later is properly placed and so constructed as to prevent seepage from the privy to the well. If the well becomes infected, the infection reaches all the users of the water. Typhoid fever will be banished from rural areas when privies are properly constructed and screened, wells built eo as not to be subject to contamination, milk' pasteurized or, boiled in the home, and windows and doom screened to keep out. flies. The individual can secure protec- tion through typhoid vaccine such as was used with; success •loosing the Great War. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter, speeches or tried to obtain votes efor any political candidate, as :both wo- men senators have, of course, one en, one side aid the other on the other, would the more representative of all women, and .somehow women should first of all be women, women seek- ing the uplift and the good and the'. welfare of all Classes of human be- ings, before anything else. , Yes, I believe the appointment of a non- partisan woman to the senate would be a good thing. Who will be the first political leader to think of thus and do it? ---EMBICEAIL Health From The Garden The average garden supplies vege- tables in abundance, perfectly fresh through the summer months, and al- so many which are easily stored ei- ther raw or canned for winter use. Comparatively few persons eat suf- ficient vegetables.' Minerals. such as iron, calcium, phosphorous, iodine, sulphur which neutralize the acid. condition of the blood, are found in proper combination as nature pro- vides them in vegetables. Spinach, chard, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, car- rots, cabbage, string ibeans, beets, parsnips, potatoes, radishes, onions, eueumibers, aspatagus, turnips, peas, and cauliflower all have varying a - amounts of available mineral mat- ter. Leaf and stem vegetables are richer in calcium. Green vegetables are vast sources of iron. Vitamins, essential to health, are necessary for growth and protection from disease. Different vitamins are found in various foods. Vege- tables usually served raw, such as lettuce, cabbage and tomatoes are valuabile sources While smaleer a- mounts are present in all others. Starch and sugar are found in po- tatoes, prasnips, beets, carrots, corn, peas and beans, and supply fuel for body heat and energy. Legumes (ripe peas, beans and lentils) con- tain nitrogen and are used for tis- sue building. Another important function of vegetables is to supply fibrous material which is not digest- ed, thus providing bulk or roughage anti aiding elimination, Points to be considered in cooking vegetables aro preservation of col- our, flavour and nutrients. Most vegetables are best cooked in the smallest amount of water which can be used without burning the vegetal-" ses or they may be steamed. Have the water boiling when vegetable is put in the pot, Keep it boiling, not simmering and keep closely covered. Salt added during cooking preserves colour.. Baking without the addition of water is a good method in some cases• but is not practical for 'many vegetables. To prevent strong flav- ours as in those of the cabbage fam- ily or onions, use a large amount of water in an uncovered vessel and boil for the shortest possible time for tenderness. Variety in serving vegetables from day to day aids in appealing to the appetite. How to Remove Stains lLgg stains should be washed in cold water until they completely dis- appear, To remove cofFee stains, stretch linen over a (bowl and pour boiling water through it, For tea stains; first pour on glycerine and then pour boiling water through the stain, Fruit stains are removed by stretching the linen over a bowl and pouring boiling water through, the stain, Jetting the water fall from a distance of several inches. Rust spots' are easily removed by moistening the spot with lemon ;juice and covering with table salt. Let dry in the sun. Rule grease spots with lard thorn- oughly saturating the spot, and them wash as usual in warm suds.: Hints On Laundering ' e Wh;lt Linen Table linen and damasks are al- ways among the most .prized of a hoes'ewife's possessions and since the lifelong beauty of all linen is de- pendent on its care, perhaps a few suggestions regarding the launder - mg aunder-mg'of linen will be helpful. Correct methods of washing and ironing are vastly important. Care- less handling and harsh soap solu- tions are •often responsible for. lack- lustre 'linens.. ,Strong alkali seams andbleaching mixtures destroy the Care o Children Household Economics natural luster of linen and the heavy satin texture of damask, Cheese a mild soap and wash lin- ens in heavy suds,: squeezing the sudsy water through the fabric rath- er than rubbing. Few laundresses realize that rubbing roughens the fine fibre and shortens the "life of all linen. Linen naturally washes eas- ily •since it does not hold the dirt in the obstinate fashion characteristic of cotton. Be Careful with Bluing Use very little bluing in the last rinse water for linens. Linen ab- eorbs bluing much more rapidly than do cotton falbrios, -.Be sure all linens are thoroughly rinsed before putting them in the bluing water. Never starch linen. This applies to all household linens—table cloths, bed linen and towels. Linen posses- ses a natural sheen and body that does not require the addition of starch. The final finished beauty of "da- mask lies in the care with which it is ironed. It must be quite damp and ironing must be continued until the piece is perfectly dry, ironing on the wrong side first and then on the right, and working from selvage to selvage. This will gain the high- est possible luster and irody. Many women make the mistake of not ironing their damask dry enough and not having it damp enough to begin with. Too hot an iron is an- other common fault. It takes time, patience and delight in the finished article to iron damask. But the re• salt is well worth the trouble. Your World and Mine (Continued Pram page 6) right now. Ana the only way that 1 can keep the wolf from the door is to work. I have to depend utterly on my own energy, my own initiative, my own wits, my own diligence, my own resolution, for my bread and but• ter. If it will interest -my readers, then I tell them that I have no employes except myself. I ant' employerless, not by my will, but because I lost my salaried job. 1 had a partial breakdown in health which circum- stance compelled me to slow up, and this meant that I would not deliver full value for my salary to my em- ployer. And being ire my amid -sixties, I was too old to expect to be em- ployed by any firm or company or Institution. So I have had to make employment for myself. I make this. statement about :myself that my readers may see hat I am not writ- ing from the shelter of a good job. where there would be no anxiety, Daily I have to sell myself—have to find buyers for the kind of thing I can produce. I have to find my cue - tamers through, the medium of let- ters—;this chiefly. And I send out 100 letters offering mY wares in order to get a single buyer, What I want to impress is this. I have to be a producer of something which can be sold --- of something which others want, And I have to persuade others to want and buy niy mercandise. Mine is not either an easy or a rosy job, and the outlook is not a bright one. This personal revelation has been made to enable me to say this to my s•eatters: work is the woy to live. So * many do not want to work; they want to subsist an the work done by oth- ers. They want the state to support them. The world is full of people who do not want to work, T Cannot rid myself of this convic- tion, namely: many, many fantilieg * will have to leave our cities to be. * * * * * * * * * •h, that you have been the football on fate. You may not be able to make much surplus, in the form of cash;. but you are already in a way of fife which is enviable. What has put° most farmers in their present (bad conditionhas been their effort to make money rather than just a com- fortable living. Fanning for most farriers will never make them rich. Riches •come from trading, and farme ing is not a trading occupation, It is, a way of life. I find much satisfaction in the re- flection that young people brought up on farms are; in increasing num- bees, remaining on the farm, finding in farming a means of livelihood and a great deal more. They are protect- ed in ways unknown to those who live in cities. They can have a peace of mind which those who dwell in cit- ies lack. Those who live in big cit- es pay very dearly for their soft things and their enjoyments. i • • • • • ♦ • • • . • • • • • • • • * OUR RECIPES 'FOR TODAY ` • • * * Lamb Chop Luncheon Menu . * * ,Celery soup Lamb chops Buttered beans Shredded Vegetable Salad Croutons .Stuffed Baked Potatoes Bailed Tomatoes Grape et Sponge CakeSherb Coffee,• Select desired number of * chops required for family.

But It is possible for a family to make a living off the land. It means a re - Wen to pioneer conditions and out- look. It means the forsaking of many dreams and desires and hopes, It means depravations of many kinds. It means hard, pltsitical work, and great self-denial. it means crude ways of doing things, It' means that softness of living will have to give way to hard experience. It means getting along with very little money. It means producing, by manual labour, most things of daily necessity. It means changing our minds end de- sires. It means a struggle to live. This view of mine is bound to be stubbornly rejected by most of my readers, and many will say,. "Better be dead than be alive and live like the pioneers."

I bow my head and say the words real sad and slow, I've said them years and years The way they go. When I am left alone and all the lights are aur, I soon forget the things I asked about. • And when it's very still, I'm sure a God comes there To hear me while I talk Another prayer. T tell Him what I'd like to do wizen I'm a man, And ask Him please to let Me if He can. I ask About the worlds I think He's hid away, And. why the moon and stars Go in for day.

The poem is as follows,: After his realms and States *'were. moved To bare their hearts to the King• they loved, Tendering themselves in •homage, and devotion, The tide -wave up the Channel spoke To all those eager, exultant folk: Bear now what man has been giy en you ley the ocean. There was no thought of oris •an crown Wlhen the single wooden chest went down To the steering flat and the care- less gunroom haled him To learn by ancient and bitter use How neither favor nor excuse Nor aught save his sheer self henceforth availed him. There was no talk of birth or ronlc By the slung hammock or scrubbed plank In the steel -grated prisons where cast him., But niggard hours and a narrow space .

Thus I schooled him to go and come -- To speak at the word—at a sign bo dumb, To stand to his task, not seeking others to aid him, To share in honor what praise might fall For the task accomplished and—over all— To swallow rebuke in silence.
