The Homo
"Mid pleasures and palaeeo, though we
may roam,
Bo It ever so humble, there's no place
like home."
Home life is the same the world
• over, It means the living together of
members of tamitles, each home a
small world in itself.
A mother, after bringing up a large
family; said after visiting them in
their respective homes, ' "Although
they ,are all my children, each home
Is as different as can be. I don't see
where they alt came Prom and why
their hothes are not more alike, when
they were all brought up under the
same roof," Yet there is a similarity.
The, stamp of the teachings and lives
of the parents is indelibly marked on.
the future lives of their children in a
more or less degree.
In the home are taught the first
ways to work, how to do things eitiici•
ently and well. 11 one can also secure,
inspiration it is surely a haven from
which much good will come,
It is the place where the best as
well as the worst is seen, where toler-
ance and unselfishness make for the
happy home and where thoughtless-
ness and unkindness make for the uu-
happy home. Naturally because of the
closeness and iutimacies of home life,
controversies wilt arise. "Tell me
what you quarrel about and I wilt tell
you what you are," was the -pointed
title of an excellent magazine article.
Then we mothers must make the
home beautiful and comfortable for
our own. We should study color. -to
have the rooms restful and harmoni-
ous, study foods and their values to
keep the body healthy and study home
economics in all its phases to make it
truly successful. One enters one
house where all may be beautiful but
it lacks the atmosphere of home. In
another is immediately imparted to
one the friendly warm atmosphere of
the perfect home where joy and love
reign. supreme. It is here the young
must be taught. the first great lessons
of Iife under the first hand of the ones
who love then the hest, and it surely
d.epends on the kind of homes we give
our children as to the klud of citizens
our boys and girls will become.
Great characters conte from great
homes, and It is what takes pace be-
hind the closed door in the secrecy of
family life that builds the nation to
greatness 'more surely than alt other
things put together, governments,
busineaa life, or industries, for it is
from telemeter that good citizenship
grows. Religion is the first necessity
in the making, of that character since
religion is tae great father of all that
le good.
Ventilation and Warmth
Very anon these bright, warm aut.
umn days will make way for the more
sombre shades and chill of late fall.'
Furs and heavy coats are brought out
after, their long rest in their moth;
bags;' they are examined and brushed
and their cosy warmth feele good, The'
furnace, long since blackand cold, is
sought to cheer the rooms with heat.
It is well to remember the import-
ance of having sufficient moisture in
the closed up rooms; artificial' beating
needs artificial moisture to keep the
rooms right. This can be done• by
having water pans attached to the,ra-
diators or on, or near the hot air regis-
ters, as well as keeping the furnace
water pans filled, The singing of the.
tea kettle as i1 sends forth its steam
might well keep up its song, at the
same time giving off steady curling
streams of moisture.
Dry air is hard on the nose, throat.
and lungs, and it is a fact that one
feels comfortable in a much lower
temperature if there is proper humidity
in a heated room. A quick change of
air every few hours by opening the
windows for a few minutes is also a
good practice and it is surprising how
quickly the fresh air will warm up
again and one feels a new sense of
comfort, because of, the oxygen admit-
ted.
Good Things to Eat
Arkansas Ham
Ham cut in thin slices, 3 tablespoone
vinegar, 11 teasp, sugar, paprika, 11/2
tease. mustard.
Cook ham in hot frying fat until
lights browned. Remove to hot plat-
ter. To the fat in pan add the vine-
gar, sugar, paprika and mustard well
mixed. When heated pour over ham,
and serve at once. Ilam cut an Inch
thick is sometimes preferred to titin
slices.
Lemon Pie
Cream together one cup sugar, one
tablespoon butter, yolks of two eggs.
Then add juice and grated rind of one
lemon, three tablespoons flour, one cup
of milk and fold in the beaten whites
of two eggs. Pour this ailing into your
ple cruet and put into an oven very
hot for a few minutes, then decrease
the heat until it is quite low.
Chlidren's Earnings
Children like to be given an oppor-
tunity to stake a ilttle money. If there
le no chalice for them to sell flowers,
magazines, papers or any other article
pay them for helping in the garden,
around the house, with the dishes or
cooking. A flat rate of so much per
-tour agreed upon by the children is a
good idea.
Summer Squeaks
Many doors and hinges develop
squeaks In summer. It is a good plan
to thoroughly oil mechanical devices
about the house regularly. Too hot
weather dries out oil very fast and
lack of alt ruins the best machine.

artied out un:r:• the direction of the
British Air Ministry. In addition to
the usaai'rpeed rnd climbing tests, the
trials included an elaborate demon-
stration of aerial acrobatics, indieat-
ing that the system is being studied
with an eye to incorporating it in
military planes.
Water-cooled airplanes usually en-
counter criticism because of the
weight of the water which must he
carried and the vulnerability of the
plumbing and the large radiator in air
fighting.
After two year., of research the
system has been developed to its final
design by the Fairey Aviation ompany.
A steam -cooled engine, it is reported,
needs much less water than the old
type water-cooled engine. The con-
densers employed are smaller than the
water radiator, and little damage
would be done if the system should be
pierced by a bullet, Tho puncture
would result only in the escape of a
thin wisp of steam. Similar damage
to a water-cooled system would be fol-
lowed by a rapid loss of water and
the plane would soon be deprived of
its motive power through heat seizure
of the engine.
The interest which the British Air
Ministry has shown in this develop-
ment and other recent aircraft innova-
tions indicates a new trend period.

Why Worry?
It's Unnecessary
"My, but I will be anxious until .l gel,, a letter
from you telling nee you are safe at home, said
Mrs. Martin as she bid her sister and her two
children good-bye at the station.
"Why worry?" exclaimed her sister. "1 will
telephone you from the Sanction when we change
trains, and again the minute we get home."
"Indeed, I forgot all about the telephone,
Maggie," said Mrs. Martin; "Instead of worry-
Mg,
orrytag, I will bo listening for your call. it really Ie
takes the- heartbreak out of saying good-bye, now that we can talk to one another so easily by tele-
phone?'
The telephone' calls were made as promised, and Mrs. Martin's sister was so impressed with the
courtesy of the Bell Telephone operator at the big city terminus that she wrote the station master,
saying in part;
"I was passing through — with my two children, and had occasion to use the telephone. The
Young lady on duty, was so courteous and nice to me. Nothing seemed to be a trouble, and she not
only took my message but directed me to the stores during my wait. Altogether, 1 had a most de,
iightful journey, due largely to the kindly assistance of the telephone operator."

INTRODUCTION ,Sino Peter ap-
pears in the Gospel according to Mark
first of all as a fisherman with his
brother Andrew, at the sea of Galilee,
casting a net in the sea. Jesus called
them to follow him and they left the
nets and followed. It is quite evident
from this story that they had known
Jesus before and had listened to his
teaching. They were, therefore in
souse measure prepared for the call to
full discipleship. This harmonizes
with the story told in the Gospel oI
John, according to which Andrew was
a disciple of John the Baptist to whom
John pointed out Jesus, calling him
"the Son of God." : Andrew then fol-
lowed Jesus and brought to him also
his brother Peter, John 1: 85-42. They
had apparently been disciples of Jesus
for a time during his early ministry,
had then returned to their home in
Capernauin, and were now called to
be permanently with him. In Mark's
list of disciples Peter is given first
place (3: 13-19), as also on Matthew
(10: 2-5) and Luke, 0: 12-10, He was
one of the 'hose, Peter, James and
John, who seem to have formed an
inner circle about the Master, and
whom he brought into a closer intim-
acy with himself.
I. A GREAT CONFESSION, Mark 8: 27-29.
It was well on in the second year
of Jesus' ministry in Galilee that he
came with his disciples "into the vil-
lage of Caesarea Phillipa," on the
southern slopes of Mount Hermon.
MUTT AND JEFF— By BUD FISHER
4.
This is where the modern town of
Blies now stands and is a place of
great natural beauty situated more
than a thousand feet above the level
of the sea. Here Jesus 'appears m
have sought retirement' and opportun-
ity for closer conversation with his
disciples. A crisis in his 'ministry
was approaching. Believing that he
was the Messirh, the Kin,;, the Sa-
viour, predicted by the prophets and
long looked for by the people, he knew
that the public announcemen, of this
fact coLld not be much longer delayed.
He had been preaching the coming of
the kingdom of God. Now he must
declare himself as King. Would the
people accept him? Would the multi-
tudes who had been thronging about
him acknowledge him as King and
Lord? Could he rely upon his little
band of disciples to stand by him?
Knowing now full welethat the malice
of his enemies would not stop short of
his death, he must have desired to
know how such an announcement
would affect their minds. The an-
nouncement, he felt, must be made in
order that the ?.finds of his disciples
might be prepared for such a tragedy
and that they might be assured that
this was not the end.
The answer of the disciples -to Jesus'
first question (i. 27) reveals to us
something of what was being said in
the towns and villages of Galilee about
him by those who had listened' to his
teaching. One of the great prophets
of a former age had come to life again,
they said, or it was John the Baptist
escaped from Herod's prison, and not
really dead as had been reported. But
the answer of Peter to his second
question. (v. 29) must have greatly
pleased him. Peter, believing his be-
loved Master to be indeed the prom-
ised King and Saviour, the Messiah,
the Christ, speaking for all the dis-
ciples, made his great confession--
"Thou are the Christ" First of that
great company of confessors, who
would through the coining centuries
believe and declare their faith in hint,
Jesus saw in Peter the living rode
upon which his church, would be built
(compare Enh. 2: 20.22) So it has
ever been, The strength of the church
has always lain 10 the steadfast faith
of believing souls instructed by the
Spirit of. God and confessing Christ
before the world.
II. A GREAT DENIAL, Luke 22:31-34;
John 18: 25-27.
All four Gospels tell of Peter's de -
nial, Like the other disciples he had
fr.rl from the scene of the arrest of
Jesus in Gethsemane. But his flight
was only for the moment. John tells
us that Peter and another disciple fol-
lowed Jesus, 18: 15-18. One an im-
agine the state of mind into which
they had fallen. Peter was no coward.
In the garden he had drawn his sword
'had struck a blow in defence of
his "taster, in spite of the fearful odds
- hich were against lin. But Jesus
had bidden him put up his sword, His
whole being must have been aroused
in flaming protest against what he
saw—his Lord whom he had confessed
now helpless in the power of his en-
emies. If Peter could have led the
band of disciples in battle for Jesus
to attempt his rescue there would have
been no denial. But unable to do any-
thing, for the women+, only his faith
failed. He denied his Lord.
III. A GREAT LOVE, John 21: 15-17.
The true disciple appear• again in
Peter's reconciliation and forgiveness.
His deep and abiding love for Jesus
prevails. Itis final commission from
the Lord is to be a shepl'erd of the
flock of Christ.
Echoes
Echoes of Summer reach my heart to-
day,
Like mystic music, borne from the far-
away;
Elusive strafes like wind o'er waving
wheat,
Bird voices vibrant in the summer
beat,
Sweet' spectral music from days Mead
and dear.
Thin, phantom strains that but the
heart can hear.
Faintly the echoes come, then die
away,
For Summer is a dream of yesterday;
No more she strays o'er field and hill
and plain
Where Autumn flaunts her robes of
crimson stain;
In vain we seek for Summer's robes of
She's passed passed beyond the range of bit -
man sight;
And only echoes reach the heart to-
day—
Echoes of footsteps that have passed
for aye.

hero recently by Sir Ifenry Thornton,
chairman. and president. of the Cana-
dian National Railwys, in his ddress
before the seventy-fifth annual. dinner
of the American Association of Pas-
senger Traffic Officers.
"A new competitor is challenging
the railroads, said Sir Henry to his
international audience of traffic lead-
ers, in reference to the airpine. "We
will have to meet 'that by increased
speed and with the safety facilities at
our disposal. The time of land travel
between London and Paris already
compares measurably with that by
air. At' the same time we are con-
fronted with the necessity of snak-
ing travel by rail more agreeable and
comfortable by attention to proper
heating and cooling, and progress
along this 'line is rapidly being made,
-'rain Requirements
"Train travellers should have facili-
ties reasonably equivalent to those
provided by ocean liners when under-
taking 'a journey across the contin-
ent," declared Sir Henry.
Shower baths, moving pictures,
gymnasiums; are among the require-
ments of this sort now being supplied
by some transcontinental trains.
Dealing with the function of the
great railroad organization as a force
for law, order and social well-being.
Sir Henry pointed out that "by good
will, sympathy, recognition of eco-
nomic principles, by a desire to serve,.
We, in the transportation industry,
are making notable contributions to
our respective countries, By com-
pliance with the rules of our own
groups, we encourage obedience to
the laws of our countries."

IIe sculls itis underclothing to the
wash, but he buys coat and trousers of
dark cloth so that they "won't show
the dirt."
Dirt; however, is just as bad when
you don't see it.
Man's habits need cleaning up, says
"Good Health" (Battle Creek, Mich.).
We read:
"Personal cleanliness, is for human
beings a very recent acquisition. Moat
lower animals keep themselves clean.
Note- how meticulously tidy:, is the
house cat: •
"The cave man reveled ill dirt,and
so did every European in the Middle
Ages. The leather breeches and un-
shorn sheepskin shirty worn alike by
peasants, proprietors, and high -church
officials, were never washed. The
Russian peasant still goes into winter
quarters in November, and .never
thinks of bathing until he Banes oat in
the spring. In some parts of Spain,
two baths suffice for a lifetime, ono
by the mid -wife, the other by tate
undertaker.
"The Finnish mother sews her chile
dren up in the fall, and.provides for a
change of clothes in the spring. The
writer once found such a sewed -in
child suffering front smallpox in a
New York tenement. The mother re-
fused to have the clothing removed be-
cause she knew, the health officer
would destroy it.
"But we are beginning to cultivate
more cleanly habits.:'
"The wearime of underclothing
which may be frequently changed, pro-
tects our outer garments from soiling
with body wastes; but our outer gar-
ments, especially those of men, store
up accumulations of germs and dirt
from a great variety of sources. The
dark colors conceal the uirt, whicli
brushing and even the dry cleaners do
not remove.
"Women wear lighter colors and
v'ashable fabrics and change often,
and so their garments are cleaner.
Women wear much less clothing than
men, and so suffer much less from
overheating, especially in warm wea-
ther, a common cause of summer
colds and sinusitis. Of course, the cold .'
does not conte directly from: the over-
heating. A cold, a sinusitis, is an
acute infection, The germs are al-
ready on the spot, but asleep, so to
speak. Overheating and after -chilling
lower the resistance arid awaken the
germs to activity.
"The heavy dark clothing worn by
men is most uncleanly and unhygienic.
Tlie universal excuse for darlr colors 's
that light colors show dirt. That is d
grod reason for choosing light colors.
The dirt is there lie en it does not
show. Dark shades are a camouflage
for not only dirt but germ;, and dis-
ease.
"Dark. and heavy clothing not only
accumulates dirt and germs but ex-
cludes from the skin the beneficent
solar rays, the greatest of all disinfec-
tant ar.d vitalizing agents. Thin, or
loosely woven, white fabrics permit
the sun's rays to reach the surface of
the body.
"A Wren's dress reform movement is
needed. White garments for both win-
ter and summer, Porous fabrics that
will permit contact of light and air
with the body surfac and allow ema-
nations from.the skin to escape and
perspiration to dry quickly, ,and less
clothing to burden the body and cause
overheating and after -chilling.
"The modern woman shocked the
world by casting off nearly all her
nether garments, but appears to have
gained something of the same hardi-
ness enjoyed by the barelegged High-
landers of Scotland and the mountain-
eers. of Greece.
"Will the women allow their hus-
bands 'and
usbands'and brothers to dress as scant-
ily as they do themselves? From a
health standpoint it seems that the
less clothes we wear the better."
"Say a Kind Word"
What is life without someone to cheer
us—
V:tilra word or a smile en 0E0 way;
Without some kind friend who is faith-
fully near us
Not heeding what others may say;
For the bravest et spirits have often
IIalf lost in the race they have ran,
For a kind word life's hardships to
soften,
Then say a kind word when yon can.
Each one 01 us owns to some failing,
Though some may have more than the
rest, e
But there's no use in heedlessly railing
Against those who are trying their
best.
For remember a word spoke unfeeling,
Might blight every effort and plan,
Where a kind word would help in re-
iieving, -
II'heu say .0. kind word when, you can.
Then say "a kind word ah wherever,
•I 'Twill make the heart cheerful and
I glad,
But never forgot it, oh never,
7.o the one who Is hopeless and sad,
For there's no word s0 easy in saying,
Then begin if you havn t begun,
And never in lite be delaying,
To say a bind word when you can.
