The, iv whole -hearted support given by the women of Canada, singly or through their organizations, to food control and other war work showed how great' their collective infleence could be. For the immediate future women should influence all purchases for the home to be of Canadian -made goods and products. This will give employment to returned soldiers' and to the many thousands who were formerly in munition -making and other war work, Women who realize that every dol- lar sent out of the country for those things which can be produced at hone adversely affects the financial situation. We have already pur- chased so heavily fromabroad dur- ing the four years of war that the financial position is critical. Canada has to remit to foreign countries a sum of well over half a million dollars a clay merely to pay our indebtedness abroad. In our total, household purchases figure very largely, .As the women of Canada buy about 90 per cent. of all that is used in domestic life, the first thing towards relieving and safeguarding the situation is their grasp of this all -essential fact. When that is once elearly understood they will gladly, as they did in food con- trol, bring about a reform. For every million dollars retained in Oanada BY A REFUSAL TO j BUY &OTHER THAN CANADIAN' GOODS, a year's unbroken employ-! meat can be given to at least 1,000 people, The Canadian Trade Commission is by every means encouraging Cana-, dian ntanufaeturere to make the! words, "Made in Canada," worthy of The Sick Child and the Schoal. A day spent in school by a half - sick child may result in a .week of serious illness. If, as so often hap- pens,, the slight indisposition proves to be the beginning of some corm., municable disease, the other children in the school are exposed, and those who are susceptible follow in turn. School authorities are naturally anx- ious to secure regularity of attend- ance on the part of the scholars, and many parents feel that they are simply doing their duty in forcing children who complain of not feeling well to go to school. . It is much bet- ter for a child to lose an occasional day's schooling than to risk bringing on an illness and exposing others. The work which children lose in the school from sickness can be made up Tar more readilythan that lost by health. Satisfactory mental progress can not be made unless health is first considered.

A loud ar' strident voice is wearying to listen to, and one 'too low is almost as had, for the hearer has to strain attention in order to make out what is being said.

At least they can- not be either laid down by rule or obtained by the methods of a corres- pondence, Truly good school -Man- ners are said to coins from the inside out, and time has not dulled the truth of this assertion. If you are a self-ee tred person you must be extremely clever in order to keep people front looking beneath the cover. However, if you are thoughtful of others, the habit will grow with the least little bit of en- couragement, and this is half the battle. Observation is the ether half, and even if it is tagged with the term "knocking" a little criticism of other people's manners will help you to avoid the same pitfalls yourself. The knocking may be done inwardly just as well as outwardly. Imitation is usually a bed way to go about things, but observing some person whose manners you approve vrill be another way to go about things. Table manners are really much easier to acquire than might be sup- posed. You have only to feel that' you can look well while eating and' it improves matters at once.
