I have been helping a young girl to choose the different ar- ticles with which to fill her Hope Chest. There are so many things to consider: What width to buy the sheets, how long they should be to give ample length to tuck in proper- ly; whether to buy unbleached sheet- ting in order to get the longest wear out of the sheets; whether to buy them ready-made or buy the sheeting by the yard. All these things must be considered. Sines of pillow -cases to buy only one pair of hemstitchedmust be decided upon. Then we plan the baby two tablespoons of pratrce ; pulp, . And she wondered why the pillow -cases, as they do not wears movements had increasedi The prune. long. as' the plain hemmed ones. This pu p w is true of all household lines, I am sure you all have had linens which have worn out,'first along the hem- stitching, When it conies to towels, the ques- tion is whether to buy huck towels or whether to follow the newer fash- ion of using small bath towels for Co -Operation Bash of All Success in World P L there were .more co-operation in the world, there would be less fiction. No home life, no business. no nation can succeed without co-operation. Con- fusion and wastage of time and energy roust naturally result. Look around at all the successful men today, and then look at the business concerns they di- rect. In every case you will find that eo-operation is the corner stone of their success. They have leen shrewd enough to realize that only failure would have resulted had they neglect• ed co-operation. And do not think that co-operation means only co-cperation on the hart of one section of the business, the home. or the nation. The worker and the owner; the head of the house and the kitchenmaid; the prime minister and the people—everyone must do his bit at co-operating. There can be no happiness, no con- tent of any kind, if co-operation is missing. We should have fewer brok- en lives, less unemployed, and no Wars if co-operation were given a reason- able chance. London Tit -Bits. ae quantity of food on. the dict list is two tablespoons, start with one tea- spoon, and the baby will gradually be- come acettstomed to the new taste. When it accepts it willingly, then. gradually increase the quantity, art til the full two tablespoons a' giv en. It may seem like a lot of trou- ble to bother cooking a food and then use just one teaspoon but it is a lot easier to de that, than to have the child dislike .a food, and to have to battle: with it, continually, before it eats it. One mother was very much wor- ried because her baby suddenly start- ed to have two and three movements: a day, instead of the usual one. The movements . were perfectly normal, but too .frequent. When asked if there had been any change ` in diet, said there had been no change at all, except that she started giving Spraying Pays The 'spray supervisor in Leeds County reports that the good orch- ards, carefully "looked after, indicate a good crop of first-class apples, and orchards only partially sprayed are badly infested with scab and apple maggot, This is undoubtedly the case in most fruit -growing districts, and it •emphasizes once again the need for systematic and intensive spraying of orchards if clean, desirable fruit is to be obtained, l as good for the baby but it should have been given in smaller quantities at first, and the amountwin- creased as the baby became accustom- ed to it.

In our house- hold we use both, each member us- ing the kind they like best, as in this question, we are a house divided ag- ainst itself. Bed ,covers are the 'next considera- tion. Whether to buy flannelette blankets, or wool ones. There was very little money to spend, so in this case the flannelette ones were chos- en. Heavy, attractive -looking blank- ets with colored squares. Very diff- erent from the flannelette blanket of not so many years ago. Quilts were `chosen instead of the colored woollen blankets for extra covers. These were chosen because they were much cheaper, and easier to keep clean, and in no danger from moths. A good quality of cotton bedspread was chos- en with stripes of the same color as the blankets and the quilt, so that everything n`atched. She wavered be- tween the cotton and rayon spreads and finally chose cotton, because it was sturdier and would stand hard- er wear. A good amount of table linen for a small amount of money was manag- ed. She bought two and a quarter , yards of forty -inch unbleached cotton and made two small cloths of it, for breakfast and supper. A wide hem I was turned and held with three rows of running stitches in different colors. A patterns ,vas appliqued in each cor- ner in colors, one cloth was done in butterflies and the other with cher- ries. So two cloths were made at a cost of a few cents. nts. Two inexpensiye fifty -inch cloths with colored borders were bought and a white one with matching napkins for 'best'. By wat- ching the sales, she had five cloths izes for something less Master Your World Youth must face the world as it is. Tackle it unafraid, and with courage and faith piaster it. Enter your field of service in the spirit of a servant and with the enthusiasm of a freeman. That field of tomorrow will demand more than the past; stronger bodies, more alert minds, and sincere spirituality. Speed, efficiency, production, ideals, money, leisure and life await you. Your body will be called upon for the first three, it will take your head for the next two, and the heart will find its fullness in giv- ing the world a royal life. Here's to you! The greatest age, the grandest world, and reward of true living await the youth of today.—Exchange. Minister's Address In an impressive address at the C. N. E. on Agricultural Day, Hon. T. L. Kennedy made several strong points. "The time has come in On- tario," he said "when registration of live stock should go on to a higher standard. I hope to see the time very shortly when all breeds will be of a higher standard, so that the rest of the world will know that when they get an animal :from Canada they get an animal free from disease and parasites and a long line of produc- tion behind it." The Minister also visualized what it would mean to Ontario farmers if Canadians would buy home-grown fruits. The repercusion of benefit ro> ould reach all industry and help to provide jobs, The Minister also stressed that knowledge was art in- creasingly essential factor to success- ful farming and he outlined some of the Government work in conducting classes for young farmers. affin. • Peach Dessert Cut rounds of plain cake about t inches in diameter (sponge cake is. best).

German War Decoration The war decoration worn by the Germans in the World war is some- times mistaken for a Maltese cross. hut it is the iron cross and dates from the former Prussian kingdom. It was presented for the first time in 1813 for bravery and merit, regardless of rank. It was renewed in 1870 and. again In 1914. In 1813 the iron cross had curved arms and a silver border. The front side was smooth, and the reverse had three oak leaves, the initials of the donor, and beneath that the year. in 1870 this cross bore the letter "W" for the kaiser's name, and above it a crown, Rwas the same in 1914 ex- cept for the change in dates. The Western Market The Ontario Growers' Market is enthusiastic about the Western mar- ket for Ontario -grown fruit and veg- etables. Tomatoes must be packed in lugs and paper wrapped for this mar- ket, according to C. W, Batter, secre- tary, who says further: "The West wants Ontario tomatoes, but wants them packed differently, We can sell our tomatoes in 11 -quart baskets in the West at unsatisfactory prices, but if we want to devolp a large market for tomatoes at good prices they must be packed differently" A similar situation has developed. ari regard to peaches. Officers of the Council have come to the conclusion that basket packing is not a satisfac- tory method to be, used for the Wes- tern tnarlcet, Different Ontario fruit - growing organizations are equipping themselves to pack peaches in boxes for the Western trade. it is realized that to expand their markets better packages trust be utilized, Poverty Defined The following definition of poverty is that of Dr. Robert W.
