Praise God for seed time and the spring, Far autumn and the garnering, For all the glorious harvest hours, ' The golden fields; the sun, and show- ers! , Praise God for home — the shelter strong When skies are grey, and nights are long; For loyal hearts, and counsel wise, For home and all home's tender ties!. Praise God for losses and for gain, The year's full joy, the year's deep pain; For tears to weep, and songs to sing, For grieving and for comforting; Praise God, nor let a doubt assail, ' Seed time and harvest shall not fail, Nor patient love, nor •strength, nor stay; Praise God today! Praise God today! —Jean Blewett. This is our National Thanksgiving Day, when the Dominion, from East to West, from South to North, is called upon to give thanks for the blessings •of the year, Perhaps all the people may not have many mat- •eriai blessings to be thankful for. Many even in this rich, young Iand during the past few years have felt the pinch of want and many sti lack the means to provide themselves and their dependents with the ne- cessities of life, not to mention an abudance of life's good things: It is a serious condition 'and one which the best minds of the day in all coun- tries should be engaged in studying and making right. 'Bat, even though some individuals in Canada may find little of material good for which to give thanks, and this we confess with something like shame that it should be so, we at least all may give thanks that we live in this good land, which is at least one of youth and of hope, end we can look forward to many and good years to come. Whatever of ill some have suffered we firmly believe that this is but a passing phase, the future Iooks bright with hope, and in the years to come we look for a time when ev- eryone who is willing to, work may find work and its adequate reward. But no matter what our condition may be there are very few who have not got something for which to be thankful and. for these things we should at this time undeetake a thorough search, so that Thanksgiv- ing Day may not be an empty day for us. ---SbIDJ3. ticallth Scram OF THE Gattabiatt ebiratA uariatiutt and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. Edited by GRANT FL15MING. M.D., Associate Secretary HAEMATURIA The appearance of blood' in the ur .:ine, haematuria, is never normal, It ,.is always dangerous to ignore it. Painless haematuria is a warning signal of the greatest importance. Blood in the urine may mean a growth in the bladder, Haematuria is not to be thought of as a haemorrhage; it merely means that there is blood in theur- ine. The amount .may be very little, ,and it may appear only •once or twice , and then disappear, Failure to heed such a. warning is inexcusable when is known that this may be the on- ly sign of a dangerous condition. St is justas true of cancer of the . bladder as it is of cancer of other Parts, that the hope ,of cure lies In bringing cases under treatment early in the disease. By early, we mean while the growth is still sonfined to one part, before it has spread, while it can be removed or entirely de- stroyed. We do not know the cause of cen- ter. As it attacks the bladder, it is numb more common in men than in women. It is a fact of great impor- tance that cancer of the bladder may be preceded by a benign, or harmless, tumour which, after months or years, for no apparent reason, May turn in- to a malignant or cancerous growth. Rhubarb for Winter Fresh, crisp, pink rhubarb can be had during the winter months if the plans{ are made now to provide roots for forcing. The root system of this pinat is a storehouse in which the necessary food has been stored and when given the required check and rest prior will produce an abun- dance of leaf stalks. First arrange for ,crowns that have been in a plantation for at least two years or until they are well develop- ed. Crowns that are over four years in a plantation do not force as well as those of the younger plants, In late October or early November, just before the ground freezes up, the roots should be dug, allowing a good ball of earth to adhere. Leave these on the surface of the ground without protection until they become frozen through. Sub -zero freezing, how- ever, is not recommended, Four or six trowns of fair size will, as a rule, produce enough rhrbarb fora family of three Or four. The crown's or roots being given the required period of dormancy are brought into a dark cellar, where the temperature can be maintained at 50 degrees F. placed on the cellar floor and covered with soil, sand or cinders. The soil, rand or cinders hold the moisture. around the roots. Another very good way is to place one large crown in a bushel hamper or box, packing soil around it to hold the moisture. Where several roots or crowns are to be used they can each be placed in a hamper or box. This method is very convenient for handling, where small numbers of roots are to be forced. In commer- cial forcing, the roots are placed as closely together as possible, on the forcing house floor or under green- house benches, and soil, sand or, cin- drs placed around them. Water is applied when required, To give 'continuity of harvest the roots or crowns should be brought into the forcing cellar at intervals of two weeks apart. It usually re- quires around three weeks to a month for the crop to be ready for pulling. If the roots are to be used for planting out again in the follow- ing spring, it is unwise to remove more than five pulling's, After the fifth pulling the crowns should bo put outside and allowed to freeze up again. It is obvious that if the benign tumour is recognized and removed, then it cannot develop into a danger- ous growth, This is a further rea- son why the appearance of any blood in the urine should be investigated because the benign tumour may re- veal its presence by causing such bleeding. Fortunately, cancers of the bladder do not, as a rule, spread to ether parts as quickly as do certain otle er cancers. This is 'hot to be taken as an excuse for delay in treatment, but rather ne a note of hope that prompt and proper treatment is likely to be more successful in deal- ing with the disease as it appears in the bladder. Methods of diagnosis improve, By means of an instrmuent known as the cystoscope, the inside of the bladder may be inspected. This is very satisfactory, but is of no real value unless the patient comes at a time when something can be done to cure the disease. Haematuria (blood in the urine), no matter how slight the amount, is a, sign that should never be disre- garded.

PVRIT :Best .for old your Baking' ao Growing Perennial Phlox from Seed (Experimental Farms Note) Phlox is one of the best of the har- dy perennial flowers and could be grown much more extensively than it is today. Raising plants from seed is an easy and comparatively in- expensive method of propagation. Magenta shades will likely predom- inate in plants produced in this way, but sufficient other 'shades and col- ours will appear to give a pleasing assortment. While most of the seed- lings will be inferior in size and col- our to standard varieties, occasional- ly a plant worthy of special note will appear. Most varieties, when not cut heav- ily, produce a considerable amount of seed. This seed should be allowed to ripen thoroughly before being cut. Best results will be obtained by sav- ing the seed of only the choicest strains. The seed may be sown at any time after it is ripe. At the Do- minion Expezllmes1tal Station' at Charlotjtetown; I'.E,I„ good success has been obtained by sowing in the fall just before the ground freezes. For this purpose, select a high well - drained position, as only a very small percentage of seed will germinate where the ground remains wet for any length of time in the spring. Sow quite thickly 'in drills two'inches deep and at least 18 inches apart. After the ground is well frozen, cover the seed -bed with aeverat in cher of leaves or straw. This cover- ing should be removed in the spring as soon as danger of severe frost is past. Shortly after the ground warms up in the spring the little seedlings will appear. At this time slugs are usually troublesome, and it is well to keep both sides of the ,rows dusted with freshly slaked lime. Later, it may be necessary to apply poison bran to hold cutworms in cheek. , After the plants are well up and danger from cutworms is past, thin the :plants to at least eight inches apart .in the rows. Most of the seedlings, if given sufflcieptcare, will flower the first year. The plants should then be gone over and only the best selected; the following ,sprieg these may be shift- ed to permanent positions, Care of Children Household Economics OUR RECIPES,. FOR TODAY FRIED SPRING CHICKEN As it is now the season for spring chicken, young housekeepers may appreciate the following recipe for preparing a mueh liked dish: It wiII also be an appropriate one for today, Oct. 24th, our national Thanksgiving day: I chicken, weighing about 31 lbs,, dressed 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons Pard or' other shortening Flour 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon white pepper Clean and disjoint chicken. 'Sprinkle each piece with salt and popper and roll in flour. got butter and lard, in heavy iron frying pan and when very hot quickly brown each joint of chicken on all sides. Reduce heat, cover closely and cook slowlyfor one hour, If you want to make gravy, remove chicken from spider and stir in three tablespoons flour; when smooth and bubbly slowly add three cups milk or thin' cream, stirring constantly. Cook and serve without straining, The tiny bits of crunchy brown are delicious in the gravy. CANADIAN APPLE RECIPES The apple without question is the king of fruits. Whether fresh, dried or evaporated er canned, it a wholesome food, easily prepar- ed, attractive and palatable at all times. The sound, tart apples are the most suitable for preserving but care should be to use them in their proper season, When this is done, spices need not be added as their flavour cannot be improved. Due to the large amount of pectin contained in apple juice, it may be used in •other fruits to give a jelly consistency to jams and marmalades. There is no waste to a good apple; even the core and paring may be utilized for jelly. To store apples in the home, the atmosphere should be dry and the temperature low and cool. The following recipes have been well -tested ,and can be relied upon: APPLE MARMALADE Wash, quarter and cut into small pieces coarse-grained Cana- dian -grown apples. Add cold water and cook slowly until very soft. Rub through a strainer, and for each cup of apple pulp add 3-4 cup sugar. Add grated lemon rindeand lemon juice, allowing one-half lemon to every six cups of apple pulp. Cook slowly, stirring very frequently until thick. Put up in jars or glasses and cdver with par- affin wax. When Cold, the marmalade should cut like cheese or jelly. Preserved ginger cut fine may he added, using one tablespoon for ev- ery six cups of pulp. CODDLED APPLES 2 cups boiling water 1 to 2 cups sugar 8 apples. Make a syrup by boiling sugar and boiling water five minutes. Core and pare Canadian -grown apples; cook slowly in syrup; cover closely and watch carefully. When the apples me tender, lift then out, add a little lemon juice to syrup •and pour over apples. The cavities may be filled with jelly or raisins, APPLE PORCUPINE Stick coddled apples with pieces of almonds blanched and cut lengthwise in spikes. APPLE AND CHEESE SALAD Mix chopped pecans with twice their bulk of cream cheese, ad- ding a little thick cream to blend the mixture. Season with pepper and salt and make into tiny balls. Pare mellow Canadian -grown apples, core and slice across in centre into rings about half an inch thick. Arrange rings on lettuce leaves and place several cheese balls in the centre. Serve with cream or salad dressing. ON THE JELLY SHELF For those housekeepers who are on the lookout for 'something different on the jelly shelf this fall, the allowing interesting hints may prove very acceptable. In apple jelly, boil 'a piece of root gin- ger, a few sticks of cinnamon or leaves of sweet geranium, peach or mint, er add a few drops of almond extract or ,oil of peppermint af- ter the jelly •has been removed from the fire. A little red fruit col- our may be added if the jelly is pale. Thus, from one lot of apples a variety of jellies may be made. Green plum jelly is unusual, Green plums do not jelly well, so it is better to use some pectin with them. Jelly made of apple, quince, and cranberry is of dark rick colour and of good consistency. In making it, equal quantities. of the three fruits should be used with 3-4 cup of sugar to one cup of combined juice. "Wealthy" apples make good jelly but the jelly lacks colour and 1s of very mild flavour. It is excellent, therefore, for use with other fruit juises which do not jelly well. The follow- ing recipes will give "%something different" in conserves: Apple, car- rot and peach -2 cups diced apples (do not peel), 2 eups diced car- rots, 2 cups diced peaches, 2 cups sugar, 1 cup honey. Mix and let stand over night. Cock until the mixture is clear. Peck in hot jars and seal at once. Peach and cantaloupe -3 cups diced peaches, 3 cups diced cantaloupes, 3 cups sugar, 2 oranges, 1-2 cup almonds. Blanch and 'shred the almonds, mix with other ingredients, and cook . until thick and clear. Pour into sterilized glasses. Seal with para- ffin wax when cold. GODERICIL A pretty autumst wedding was solemnized on Monday, I October fourteenth, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Older, Cambria Road, Goderich, when their daugh- ter, Alice Ena, was united in mar- riage to ,John, F. M. Moss, son of Mir. and Mrs, Fred Moes, Auburn. Rev. F. W. Craik officiated. The bride, given in marriage by her step- father, entered the room to the strains of the bridal chorus from Lo- hengrin, played by her brother-in- law, Norman Allan. The bridal par- ty, took their place before a, bank of ferns and •autumn flowers. The bride was charmingly gowned in white French satin, made on long grace- ful lines with lace ,bodice and Queen Anne collar. Her embroidered tulle veil fell from a bandeau of orange blossoms. She carried a white Bible with satin streamers knotted with lily -of -the -valley and maiden hair ,ed in pansy purple triple -sheer crepe with tulle laee trimmings. She car- ried it bouquet of Johanna Hill roses:' Joyce Johnston, niece of the bride, was 'a dainty flower girl in yellow organdie dress and carrying an old- fashioned nosegay of baby's breath and garden flowers. The best man was Harry Moss, brother of the bridegroom. After the ceremony a wedding dinner was served to about ] forty guests. For travelling the bride wore a brown triple -sheer crepe dress, brown coat and acces- sories -to match. After a short hon- eymoon Mr. and Mrs. Moss will re- side in Paris, Ont., where the groom is in the barber business. The advert!semCnts are printed for your convenience.

THANKSGIVING Thank you, God, for the little things, Blue in the sky and wind that sings Of stubble fields and grain in the bin, And winter nights with peace shut in. For work -filled days and a fro to tend, For feet of a neighbor and heart of a friend, For the hymn like the even hum of •ebee, That my tea kettle sings at night for Bright red fruit in a yelloev dish, Pantry shelves that a heart could wish, Thank you, God, for making known The pain that a dusty toy can own. For my neighbor's barriers I slip through, For letve of a child between us two, For all these things, my thanks are due From the full of my heart, dear God, to you. Edna Baldwin. OCTOBER IN THE WOODS Crimson and gold leaves float slowly down, The trees outline their branches in the blue; Ranged on an open hillside sere and brown, Sloping to westward, sheltered from the breeze. Long ranks of stark and shrivelled mulleins stand Erect, like wooden soldiers in a tale Told long ago in some far distant land; And near, a flock of gbostss of goldenrod, Crowded together bend their dose - veiled heads But hidden where thick tufts of grassheads nod, A carollon of bluebells gently away As keeping time to music, then and clear, Of crickets, who on blender] play. Deeming that in this mild, secluded spot September lingers through the suite warmed day. —Florence Westacott. OCTOBER The level sun aslant through ante urn woods Touches the oak and beech to ruddy bronze, Makes gold and ivory of bracken fronds, And decks the silver birch with pal- est chrome. Hawthorne have shed their harequin attire ' And, crimson -berried, vie with rose and briar To feast the questing, squabbling 'finch and tit. Lonely, the crows drift in an opal sky, While o'er the bosom of the rich plough'd lands, A shimmering garment wrought by fairy hands, A million tiny webs in the breeze. The robin's careless song so sweettly shrill Brings to the heart•a strange, elu- sive thrill. So bitter-sweet the scent of fallen leaves, —D. L B. in the Globe. WE THANK THEE We do not thank Thee, Lord, for bounteous crops; Our fields were scorched and hailed. Our garden shriveled and the feed is short, Our pasture failed, Yet thank we Thee the more for hope remaining, For next year's dreams and plane, our strength sustaining, For promise of the rainbow, rain or shine, That be what may tomorrow come again. We thank Thee Lord today. If we were rich and all our barns were full Should we give thanks the morn, Knowing ourselves replete and pros- perous, Our neighbor poor? We thank Thee, rather that we all can know Each other's burdens and each oth- er's woe— Each other's hope that we there shine or rain The promise that tomorrow comes again. Wie thank -Thee, Lord, today. We do not thank Thee, Lord, for prosperous days Throughout the land. Thou stest with us the misery and want On every hand. We thank Thee, rather, we've one part to piny.
