ASSOCIATK sguRIEYersimmiammormilismstiainsiter AIRY THE OPEN BED -ROOM WINDOW This ittayappear tobe the wrong `ime of year to speak of spring ton- ics, but it is :nevertheless seasonable if considered from the preventive side. The idea that a person requires a spring tonic grew out of the fact that many people did not feel as well in the spring as they did at other •sea- sons of the year. We know that the only tonic these people require is made up of fresh fir, sunshine, exercise and proper Mood. Our present interest is to point out that if people were to take reas- onable care of themselves during the winter, they would feel fit when the spring carie. During the summer, windows are :kept open and so we work and sleep in the fresh air. With the advent of the cooler weather, they are not kept open at all in some homes. Fresh air as necessary for health. It is needed in winter just as much as in summer. 'The want of fresh air is one reason -why there is more disease in winter :and why, when spring comes, there is a lack of good health which makes itself felt as a tired, run-down con- dition. The time which we spend in bed securing the rest we need should also be time spent in the fresh air. This is 'possible providing the bedroom -window is sufficiently open to allow fora gentle movement of air through- out the room while we are asleep. How, high the window needs to be open depends' upon the temperature and tbe wind The smallest opening will be sufficient on very cold windy nights. Cool air from out-of-doors, kept in gentle motion, is the kind of air in which we should sleep. It will bring us all the benefits of fresh air and will enable us to sleep restfully and feel 'more refreshed in the morn- ing. The idea of keeping the bedroom window open was` one of the first points to be emphasized in the cam- paign against ftuberculosis, At the beginning of this century, tuber"oulo sis was The Captain of the Men of Death" because it caused more deaths than did any other one disease. This is no. longer true oftuberculosis as its mortality rate has been reduced by half in the past twenty-five years. This reduction has not come about because of a discovery of some rem- edy to cure tuberculosis. It has tak- en place because people have learned to live more healthy lives. They have learned that if they keep themselves. healthy by paying more attention to fresh air, sunshine; rest and exercise and proper food, they can protect themselves against tuberculosis. The open bedroom window is one of the strong forces which we can all employ in order to keep healthy and to combat tuberculosis, Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. mreruraprocaararsarrantalfre Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times Jesie Alen Brown By Adult Education What a pity it is that our oppor- tunity for education comes when we are too young to appreciate it. There *,,, anay have been a day when young 'people' valued education, but it is not to -day. An occasional boy or girl does value and appreciate an educa- tion, but they are the exception. Ed- ucation or rather the opportunity to obtain it does not have to be worked 4,41r•for, but is forced on the boys and girls. They take it as a right not a privilege, and most of them get away -with as little work as possible. Those who have to straggle a bit, get much more out of it. Most of us seem to think that when we have quit school our education is completed. There is a swing away 'from the idea at present, and there are many adults seeking an opportun- ity for further learning. It is always possible to continue education alone, 'but most of us find it more interest- ing to do it tinder direction. University extension classes are popular, and each year are enlarging their scope. They can only follow a demand,, so if you desire something of that sort, work for it. Their class- es are along cultural lines. The Wo- men's Institutes and the various farm organizations are extending education along practical lines. \ATomen are responsible to a large extent for the furthering of adult ed- ucation. It used to be that when a woman was married and had a home that her interests began and ended there. That, fortunately, is no longer the case. Many women are satisfied to have very few other interests, so long as their children are small and require almost constant attention; but when the children have arrived at school age, a woman is well advised to have some outside interest. , It is good for her and incidentally for her family, If it is possible to continue an education along some definite line it should be given a trial. Last year I took classes at the Medical School and derived an immense amount of pleasure out of it. For one thing, the compulsion was gone, and it is a lot more fun doing things because you want to, and not because you have to. There are a good many mothers, who would enjoy taking a few music lessons to brush up. You know how it goes, not sox much time to play, consequently we get out of practice, and play worse and worse, until fin- ally we ahnost quit altogether. My playing so disgusted me, that after university classes were over; I start- ' HYDRO LAMPS The Long .Life Lamps" S eg= r+ diMI eli ped for Hy- Service sold tu l.ranteed Neva Corkin of Six Lamps fn the House Wing ham Utilities Commission Phone 15G. k Crawford Block.

I got so much pleasure out of it, that I am planning `to continue this year. Much to my surprise,, it was the scales and exer- cises that I enjoyed the most. :!Fever did I think that day would cornet Slut it is a satisfaction to train your hands to do as you want them to do. My music teacher seemed to enjoy the lessons' too, because insteadof the half-hour for which I, paid, I found that the lessons lasted until someone else arrived, usually from an hour to an hour and a half. I think she found it a pleasant contrast to get a pupil who really tried to do as she wanted. I would advise any woman to try to continue her education in any branch that interests her. You may say you have no time. It is a ques- tion of what you want to do, It may mean' dropping some of your amuse- ments, or some things which, take time without being either benefit or amusement. It is a peculiar thing but we usually can find time for the thing that we really want to do. :Modern Method of Making Jelly. Women are apt to complain of the monotony and sameness of their work, and yet sometimes the woman who complains the most is the least ready to vary the monotony by mak- ing a change in her ,methods. She may read about new ways and yet will not make sufficient effort to try them, but continue on in the same old way. Using modern methods of jel- ly making is one way by which she can lighten .her work and provide a greater variety of foods. Several women have asked me late- ly about jelly -making and they do not seem to understand the new methods. We all know that there are some fruits which jell readily and others that will not jell. The property in fruits which makes them jell is called pectin. Pectin has been extracted from fruits containing large quanti- ties of it and is ready to use with fruits which have less jellying pro- perties. There may be other brands of prepared pectin, but Certo is the only one with which I am familiar. Most of us have to consider the question of expense in our food costs. If I had a garden full of fruit and so did not have to buy it, I would hesi- tate about using Certo for the fruits which jell easily because of the add- ed expense. If I had to buy my fruit I would use Certo as so much less fruit is required, because the juice is. boiled for only a few moments and consequently does not boil down, and this is less expensive. Certo is a real aid with fruits which do not jell readily by themselves, as raspberries or peaches. There are certain varieties of grapes which will not jell and for things like this Certo is a real boon. It certainly is a time- saver. Jelly can be made' in an hour instead of taking all morning. There is only one warning. Do not take any liberties with it, follow the recipe ex- actly, and if you have never used it before, you will be amazed at the ease with which you make jelly. There is nothing mysterious about' it, and it is very easy to use, so why not lighten your work and try modern methods. Fresh Peach Sandwiches Peel and stone ripe peaches. Put through a food chopper. To each cup of pulp add a few drops of lemon juice and a cup of confectioner's (icing) sugar. Chill well and spread between slices of white or orange bread.

Only the finest grapes will be exported from the peninsula and government supervised packing will assure the purchaser of a high quality product. In addition to wine -making, grapes are used for delicious jelly and 'for making grape juice, a very popular drink. A nation-wide advertising campaign to move this bumper crop is being sponsored by the Ontario Growers' Market Council, the Department of Trade and Commerce, and the Canad- ian Horticultural Council. "Every basket of grapes shipped outside the province will be subject to govern inept inspection to insure grade and quality attd the whole crop- will be marketed through a selected list of shippers, brokers,.and agents, through whom the Big 'rO" brand of Ontario grapes, sponsored by the. Markets Council, will be placed before the public," says Charles W. Bauer, Sec. Every basket of grapes going through this channel will contain special in- serts and buyers will be able to ac- cept these as certificates of the grap- es offered for sale, Seed Prospects Excellent The prospect for s. good seed year is very good. A fair crop of alfalfa, more than sufficient to meet a heavy home demand, is looked ,for; there will be sufficient sweet clover and en-. otigh alsike to supply the domestic demand' though little left over for ex- port; some timothy and probably a big crop of domestic red clover. Se- cond growth fields, from which the bulk of the seed crop it taken, are in excellent shape, unusually clean and blooming abundantly; With a bigger duty on all clover and alfalfa this year, fanners ar.e taking more interest in saving seed, Fresh Grapes on Market The largest grape crop in Niagara Peninsula history, estimated to be worth, $1,750,000, is now ready for harvesting.
