Lone letters from Millie's neithe•1
were ex i'ting. There had been
revolution • in the domestic economy
Her father, once alive to the hard
ships his wife had suffered from over-
work and lack of conveniences, had
not. only provided her with an effi-
cient servant but had installed as many,
• labor-saving contrivances as possible-'
Ile had even given her an allowance
• "And it is all due to .your spirit in
rebelling at conditions thet were
needlessly hard," wrote her mother.'
"If I had had a little courage when
T was first married everything would'
have been different:" Milly laughed
gleefully as she put the letter away
and prepared to go down and scrub
the infirmary floor, this being one of
• the. specially irksome features of her,

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

BUY &OTHER THAN CANADIAN'
GOODS, a year's unbroken employ-!

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.

simplest way of all. It can be prac-
tired at all times, but should never
be carried to the point'where it ap-
pru'aehes self-consciousness.
'Mannerisms are, of course, to be
avoided. The person who does every-
thing possible to attract attention is
tiresome to loop at and usually more
tiresome to listen to. 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. If we could only hear oprselves
as others do, it would be of almost
as much aid as to see ourselves as
others see us.

Good manners can be acquired only
by careful study. 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. This
