o Every Canadian Owes It To
Himself To Undergo
Periodic Health
Examination.
By John. Burke Ingram
I sometimes think that pious people
are often guilty of the greatest, im
piety.
So many of us, as a homely philoso-
pher once pointed out, are given to
blaming our troubles upon Providence
when actually these troubles are
caused by our own carelessness or
Wilfulness. So often ,after a promising
young career has been cut off by
death do we hear many persons gay;
"It was the will of God." Undoubtedly
resignation to divine will is a virtue
that every'truly religions,person tries
to cultivate; but there is a saying to
the effect that Providence Helps him
who helps himself, and if I were
preaching a sermon to -day instead of
'writing a.bsaltll article that would be
niy text.
All this is a preamble conceived in
some bitterness. Itis a fact that con•
servative sound health authorities tell
us that one Canadian out of every
three dies ahead of his time of disease
which could be prevented. •
Now if a man were to wilfnliy shut
his eyes and walk over a precipice we
would regard him as being sam'ellgious
Jf he blamed his mishap upon divine
Providence. is it not equally sacra-
liglous if a death is 'blamed upon.
Providence when that tragic event hats.
been caused .by sheer neglect?
To -day when medical science is tre-
mendously better equipped than ever
is the history of the world to prevent
disease the average man and woman,
father and mother, -do no more to pro-
tect themselves and their children
against disease than did their grand-
parents. Indeed for some reason or.
other a few silly people still resent
the activities of health departments
eventhough those activities tend to-
ward the lengthening of their own
days.
My purpose today is to tell yell of a
simple and inexpensive form of health
insurance. Go to your doctor once a
Year. Better go on your birthday as
this will help you to remember. Even
if you are feeling perfectly well ask
your doctor to examine you thorough-
ly. If be finds trace; of conditions
which if left :doe- muy lead to phJ'sf-
eel disorders, 1 .:.,•s his advice.
I'm not jd • re le up this bit. of
advice for you. 'Pa a is a very im.
pteselve body of favorable opintail be-
hind,' The Canadian Cavernnient and
the Canadian :lledlcnl Association re-
gard it as so important that they have
combined to prepare a book which
they have sent to every physician in
Canada, This book gives detailed
scientifically prepared directions as to
how 'snelt an examination should be
conducted. Your doctor, it says, will
take about a half an hour to make this
examination and he will use up to 13
instruments in making it. He will
make about 50 tests. Now just in case
this might seem a lot of bother and
red tape let me teil you sometiting
elso. Several leading Canadian Life
Insurance Companies have used this
examination to save them money!
They are providing eachYear physical'
examinations FREE for the holders of
valuable p.111aies, simply with the idea
of keeping thew: I;oll,y holders alive
as long as ps,•ib1 e. Obviously the
longer a policy holder lives the more
money the itiaurirnce companies Make.
Surely it tat -:e leading businrsq or-
ganizations find the periodic health
examination schonos tt sound invest-
ment you too will find it a aonud in-
vestment, in fact yeti will find it an
even better inveatlurg:t than they do,
tor while it `avee them only dollars
and cents it may save you days,'
months, and even years of life.

from the older folks. There will prob-
ably never be a low cost of high liv-

The Friend Who Just Stands By
When trouble comes your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands
by.
Perhaps theses nothing he can do,
The thing is strictly up to you;
For there are troubles all your owe,
And paths the soul must tread alone;
Times when love can't smooth the
road,
Nor friendship lift tile heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until' the end,
Whose.sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always
yours,
It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing he can do;
A.nd so with fervent heart ewe cry
"God bless, the friend who just
Stands by."

Sunless Window Made Sunny
Every little while someone discovers
a new and delightful` way to curtain
genie north or poorly lighted window,
so that the effect of light and cunni•
nese is brought into the room. A
very successful window curtain and
drapery, which brought ar appearance
of sunshine and a suggestion of a
flowery -garden into a dim and cheer-
less north room, is here described.
The single window, which was about
two feet fro the oorner of the room,
was covered with a glees curtain of
cream eat, reaching,: to the window
sill. It hungmoderately full, Ile width
being once and a half the width of
the window, Oet this curtain, at
side, were appliqued gay -colored i
els with :leaves and; long stems, t,11
made of silk that permitted the light
to shine through brightly, as through
stained glass.. On the opposite side,
that nearest the earner of the room,
a drapery of deep daffodil yellow was
arranged in an unusual ,anti strikingly
decorative manner.
This drapery vas not sills but it had
a silky luster. It eovei'ed the entire
width of the window, and two widths
were used to get the right fullness, the
seam being concealed between the
folds. It was out long enough to reach
to the bottom of the window casing.
The entire width of this drapery was
drawn back to he casing at the side,
ball way between the top of the win-
dow and she middle, from which point.
it hung in graceful .folds down over
the casing, covered• but a few inches
of the glass, hence cutting off almost
none of the light. •
Flowers Like Stained Glass.
The Rowers, leaves, and stems were
cut out and finished befored,hey were
Put on the net curtain. Three flowers,
two wide leaves, and three long,
slender leaves, were used, besides the
stems. Thin plain silk was selected
for all of them In order that the
effect might be airy and dainty and
so their color wduld show up. Per-
fectly. Very thin satin would be
equally satisfactory. Heavier material
should not be used, as the desired
effect is not that of ordinary heavy -
looking applique.
The colors for the flowers were
Pink, , yellow, orange, and a light,
rosy lavender: Another charming
combination, with the yellow drapery,
would be light 'blue, dark blue, yellow,
and deep, reddish orange;
The top flower, which reached to
just below the middle of the window,
was made in this way: A circular
piece of yellow silk was cut out, five
inches in diameter, but very irregular
he outline, suggesting the shape of
a flower. The edge was turned under
one-quarter of an inch and button-
holed with yeflow.silk thread. This is
easier to do if the silk is first basted
on a piece of newspaper, which after
ward, can be toga away. An irregular
circle, 3% inches in diameter, was cut
out of the pink silk and basted over
the middle of the yellow silly. The
edge of the upper h if, of this pink

moon, Was basted over all the lower'
half of the pink piece and all its
edges turned uncles' and buttonholed
onto the pink above it and onto the
i yellow below it, using lavender thread.
Time all the extra thickness of silk
underneath were cut away so as to
leave only one ,thickness of silk
th:oughout the flower.
i The next lower flower was made
in a similar way, starting with a large,
irregular• circle of lavender, and using
pink for itsupper centre and orange
below. The 'third flower started with
pink and had yellow for its upper
centre ants Lavender blow.
Stems and Leaves.
The stems, which were not cut in
a straight line, hut on a slight curve,
to make diem lock more graceful,
were of a light rut rather vivid green,,
The materia' for thein was cut one
inch wide, and one quarter inch was
turned under on each side, leaving the
finished stem. one-half inch wide,.
Both edge's vere buttonholed with silk
thread of the same shade of green.
The long thin leaves were a little
wider throughcit their middle po-
tion that the stems, but tapered to
Points above, and were Inittonholed in
the same way.' One of the two wide
leaves was of green silk, the other of
orange. They were two and one-half
inches wide by three and one-half
inches ling, when finished and button-
holed. These were much curved, with
O few interesting jags along thein
underside. Along the middle of each
ran a "vein" made with silk thread of
the color of the leaf, in a simple stitch,
