He ie a selfemade millionaire named Harry Falconer Mcl:,ean, who lives in Canada. . Although he hates publicity, Canadian reporters have relied on him for years to provide then 'with a constant stream of news Items, McLean gives generously to varle ons charities, but it is his "small" gifts that appeal to the public fancy. One day he went to a musical comedy and enjoyed the slow so much that he sent every member of the chorus a mink coat, During the war he tussled up at et Toronto soldiers' hospital and distributed hundred -dollar bills to nurses and patients to the amount of $3,000 dollars, One evening McLean was late for a train, but the taxi-driver got him to the station in record thine. Next day the driver's baby boy received a cheque for $2,0001 There have been other super - spendthrifts, In America, before the wart "Coal -Oil Johnny" Steele spent 8,000 dollars on clothes in a single day, When he stayed at an hotel in Philadelphia one of the clerks failed to accord hien proper defer- ence. "Coal -Oil Johnny", paid out $10,000 to lease the hotel for one day—ancf fired the clerk. HATED SPENDING An ancestor of the Marquis of Hastings was a lavish spender. But he wagered his entire inheritance on one horse. And the horse lost. Years ago Hollywood made a film about another fabulous rich man, Ile was "Diamond Jim" Brady, who had a separate, com- plete set of jewelled studs, rings and cuff -links for every day of the month. But what about multi -millionaire ''Unsinkable" Suit Suits Her—Carolyn Keen, 15 -month-old water. baby, floats along with utmost confidence. She's wearing an "un- sinkable" oathing suit, which is being tested by the Infantile Paralysis Fellowship of .London, England. Particularly useful in supporting polio patients undergoing water therapy treatments, the suit may also be worn under street clothing, and is said to be able to support a person indefinitely. John D. Rockerleller? He signed cheques for thousands of dollars, but hated spending loose change on himself. One day (so. the story goes) he went to the dentist to have a tooth out. "How much?" he inquired be- fore hand, "Three dollars," said the dentist, who didn't know his client was RockerfeUer. "Three dollars just to pull a tooth!" mumbled the millionaire. "Here's one dollar. Loosen it a little bite" rdam Andrews What to put in school childrens lunch boxes is a five -times -a -week problem which thousands of mothers are up against. I thor- oughly agree with a suggestion made by Eleanor Richey Johnston in this connection. Writing in the Christian ri tan S cience Monitor she ad- vises that you should always be sure to pack a surprise in the box, because all children love surprises, and are happy with even the simp- lest ones. When you're icing cup- cakes, for instance, it takes only a few seconds to write your child's name on it with jelly beans or to press an animal cracker or a fancy colored gumdrop into the center before the king hardens. * t; * If you're making pies; roll the leftover dough and cut into small rounds or animal shapes and cover with a mixture of butter, sugar, and ciamamon befire you bake thein, Add colored sugar for an especially gay effect. r: * * Fruit is au 'addition to every lunch, and it will appeal to the im- agination of your child if, when he turns to his 'lunch box apple, he finds you have taken out the core and tilled the cavity with rai- sins. 4 * * Oranges are, of coarse, a per- ennial lunch -box favorite and it is a good idea to prepare thein for easy eating. First, mark a strip aborti ? inch wide complete- ly encircling the orange at the "equator' line. Now remove peel above and below. Cut remaining 12 inch band vertically at a section division and gently part the orange to its core. Now part each section separately until they all lie flat on their backs attached to one another by the .a in. band of peel. They are easily put back in position then, ready for the funchbox, yet ready to eat with little muss. * * * Tuck in the sandwich package tooth- pick o h- ored o W 7 0l a cube of cheese on a c pick or a little package of raisins i or carrot sticks wrapped in silver foil and tied with colored cord to add interest to the meal. * 4: * Isere are a few suggestions for sandwich fillings that 'your child will like. You can 'devise others, using what you have in the house as well as catering to the taste of your own child. Cream cheese, jam, and raisins. Chopped dates, chopped nuts, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Ground cooked meat, pickle relish, chopped hard -cooked eggs, and mayonimise. Chopped frankfurters, pickle relish, mustard, and chili sauce. Tuna fish, chopped hard -cooked eggs, chopped celery, chopped pic- kle, and salad dressing. Peanut butter and chopped bacon. Peanut butter and dried ground fruits. Cottage cheese, chopped peanuts, and apricot jam. Grated Canadian cheese, ground or grated onion, chipped beef, and chili sauce. Peantit butter and honey or orange marmalade. Cream cheese and grape jelly, strawberry jam, or chopped dates. If you would like to know the pro- portions that make the best sand- wich fillings, here are a few exact recipes.

BAVARIA M FRONT Q6tC J'e1t Just as youngsters hate to go back to school after tine summer vacation, cows in many instances resent being deprived of their liber- ty lu the fall. The change from green forage to dry hay and silage, the'redaeticn in the amount of daily exercise can result in reduction in feed intake and milk production— dud in digestive disorders, Besides these things other items of care must be considered if the comfort and well being of the herd is to be kept at a high level, * * * The ability of a dairyman is quickly reflected by how his herd reacts to the change -over front pas- ture to dry roughage in the fall of the year. Thee experienced herds- man makes the changeover from pasture to dry roughage feeding as gradual as possible. As the pas- ture becomes shorter and of lower nutritional value he substitutes good 'hay and corn si:age as rotigh- age fed in racks in pasture and he barn at milking As the nights be- come cold and frosty he, keeps the cows in the barn and lets them out to graze only during the sunny part of the day. * * 5, During the change -over period fall -planted rye and legume hay lands can be grazed for a few hours a day to a very good advantage. Never pasture Sudan grass after frosts, since freezing develops a cyanic acid in the plants that may poison cattle. When cattle are first confined to the barn watch the con- dition of the droppings. Cows that show a tendency to constipation and hard dropping should be given a tonic prescription at once to get them back to normal. * * During the summer pasture per- iod, sunshine and showers keep the cows' hair coats and skin, clean and fresh, Being kept in the barn changes this, and necessitates daily cleaning to remove loose hair, dirt, and manure which accumulates. The best dairymen curry and brush their cows daily. after the morning milking. Such treatment stimulates the flow of blood just below the surface of the skin, and makes the cows feel more comfortable. The head, neck, flanks, udder and belly should be clipped soon after stabling" the herd, in the interest of cleanliness and easier grooming. 5, RAISIN -PEANUT BUTTER FILLING 3/4 cup peanut butter 6 tablespoons chopped seedless raisins 6 tablespoons orange juice Combine peanut butter, raisins and orange juice.

MERRY MENAGERIE ,ra..r„wv r,,yM. al 97. s. "eVcll, guess we've put it oft long ns possible!" a milking herd against mastitis infec. tion. A good dip aad disinfectant solution should be sprayed on the stall floor and bedding of cows every day or so. * t Should a cow develop mastitis in spite of tate precautions tnentioned, the use of a mastitis treatment is recommended. Penicillin- dihydro- streptomycin ointment is a highly effective treatment 11 used in time. This product conies in a handy "squeeze" tube that makes treat- ment very easy. The small tip of tate tube is inserted in the infected teat and the contents slowly squeez- ed out of the tube and into the quarter. 'i'heit a light massage spreads the ointment ,throughout the quarter Care and sanitation play a strong part in the prevention and control of Mastitis. Amp'e' bedding should be kept under cows at all times while they are in the barn during the winter. This will prevent the cows' udder from resting on the cold concrete floors, which prac- tice can lead to swellings, fever and mastitic in the udder. Cold floors are not the direct cause of mastitis, a ' common "winter time" disease, but it is a fact that this disease is much more prevalent in herds where caws lie on cold floors with insufficient bedding. This is due to the fact that an adder, weakened by chilling on a hard cold floor, is much more susceptible to an at- tack of mastitis. * A: * Studies at the University of Il- linois have shown that a large per- centage of acute mastitis cases were started by teat mei udder injuries, improper sterilization of milking machine tea cups, and failure to prevent mastitis genas from travel- ing from one row to the other over the stall platf,rms anti bedding. Teste have shown that mastitis germs live as long as 20 days on unclisinfected stall pint;orms or cows skin. Where such germs con- tacted properly disinfected surfaces, the life of the mastitis germ was but to less than one day. This in- dicates the vital necessity of proper disinfertien in the protection of a * * 5, Many times a cow's udder may be bruised or damaged by being stepped on, butted, or stung by in- sects. This causes congestion in one or more quarters of the udder. In such cases, bathing with warm water, milking out, and rubbing with an udder ointment several tines a day, will bring relief and prevent a "gargety" condition which may lead to infectious mas- titis, - * * * Winter conditions of housing, cause cattle to become more sus- ceptible to attacks of lice. It is therefore, a good practice to treat the herd regularly, by applying a dry insecticide or louse powder in the spots where the lice usually frequent, namely around the shoul- ders, neck, brisket, and tail. A. repeat tt'eament every 3 or 4 weeks, as needed, should be given. Having missed his railway con- nection, a disgruntled man spent a miserable hour exploring a dark and dreary town in the pouring rain. Hoping to cheer himself up with a really good meal, he en- tered a restaurant. "What have you got that's good?" he asked a waitress grump- ily. "Sage lien," she answered. "What's sage hen?" "Oh, it's a bird that's shot around here." "Has it got wings?" "Of course it's got wings." "Then I don't want any," snort- ed the man. "I don't want any- thing that has wings and still stays in this rotten town." A Hollywood starlet once upset precedeht by asking Kreisler for an autograph instead of giving her own to wild-eyed bobby Boxers. The starlet's disarming request read —"It doesn't matter whether you write it or print it, Mr. Kreisler. I copy all my autographs over, any- how, alphabetically in my scrap- book." IINDA( SCHONOL LESSO By Rev. R. B. Warren, ILA., Bile. Jesus DedicaletrlHia Life Matthew 3:16 to,d:11; 4:17 Memory SerittA•.'tiont Lo, I come to do thy will, 0 God, Hebrews 10:7 We now begin a course of fey' sons upon the Gospel as recorded by Matthew, It will continue for two quarters. Matthew seems to write with the Jews particularly in mind. Ile begins with Abraham and sets forth Christ as the Mes- s:ali. "That it alight be fulfilled which was written" occurs many times. Christ was the fulfillment of. the hopes expressed In the 014 Testament, Matthew does not speak of Christ's ascension. Mark writing of Romans begins with Malachi and shows Christ as se active worker. He gives }lis resur- rection and ascension, Luke writes of Gentile converts: He begins with John the Baptist though he traces the lineage of Jesus back to Adam and to God, There is no sugges- tion of any state in which man was either a water puppy or a chimpan- zee. Luke presents Christ as the perfect man. He gives His reset* rection and the promise of a Com- forter. John begins with God and present Christ as a personal Savior. He speaks o`. Christ coming again. Together they give beautiful view of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, The, writers had a different emphasis but without any contra- dict'on. Jesus Christ stet and defeated the Tempter. Strong appeals were made to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life. But where Eve and Adana had fallen, Jesus remained steadfast. He saw beyond the present and would not sacrifice the future good for the present pleasure. Since He won on the battle field of temptation, we, by His grace, may also win. He has paved the way for victory over sin, the flesh and the devil, Through Him we are conquerors. May the spirit of obedience which characterized the life of our Savior. be ours, too.

IJ V 3 a1 l ` FAMILY ALBUMS —From Countryman's Year, by Haydn S. Pearson ULTRAMODERN sophisticates look down their noses at anything remotely tinged with Victorianism. In their judgment family albums are definitely a part of the spirit of yesteryear. Perhaps we are still too young as people to appreciate properly the soul -satisfying traditions of previous generations, but tune is catching up on this regrettable attitude, The collection, properly begins with a group of old daguerreotypes and ferrotypes, Great-grandfathers posed stiffly in their hirsute glory. In the nineteenth century beards and mustaches framed faces of solid, resolute character. Great-grandmothers used billows of petticoats and fetching bustles and seemed to favor high neckpieces of lacy, starched material. They piled their hair high and occasionally they went in for braids worn as a crown. But in the faces of those men and women, family likenesses can be seen. At the turn of the century, styles were more daring. Beards were disappearing and the bustle was gone; petticoats were reduced to one or two. There were Gargantuan hats piled high with flowers and ornamental fruits, The girls, now grandmothers, had prim shirtwaists, ankle -length skirt, and logit shoes.- The boys specialized in tight -fitting suits and aide white collars. Through the years the procession continued. The changes in dress reflected the growing freedom of Human beings as they emerged into the age of mechanical marvels. The bulky, billowy bathing suits gradually came nearer the irreducible minimum. The cars changed Irotn Ihorseless carriages to modern streamlined automobiles. The family albutit is a part of our growing tradition; it tells the story of myriad changes. On a rainy afternoon when the children gather round the living -room table to see the pictures and hear the familiar, loved storks, they an learning a nation's history.
