Applications front rural girls. are given preference, provided they are received in sufficient time. WINGIVOI; ADONNCEAILME% offers one opportunity atter aoother.

Macdonald Institute offers three two- year courses, a one-year Home- makers' course and a short course In conversation with Miss Cruik- shank later in theday, a represent- ative of "The Farmer's Acivocate" learned that early application is very inaportant since there is never room Mainly ForWomen (By Dorothy Dix) . eleeeeeee......e.e.,.....e............... for all who wish to enroll as students IS YOUR WIFE HAPPY? at "Mac." Some of those who will enter this fall have been on the wait- ing list sinbe 1924, Obviously the e kep open until the last minute, but they are held open until sixty days before the new term commences. Up till that time, rural applications are given first considera- tion, Many girls from rural homes do not seem to realize the necessity for early application, and this one e'eason is responsible for 'the ()Asap.' ointment of a large number of • would-be students, Miss Cruik- shank Pointed out that application entails no responsbility. If condi- tions change and an applicant finds it impossible to enroll when the time comes, there are many waiting to take her place. The moral is that farm daughters who wish to enjoy the. privilege of study at Macdonald Institute should enroll now. Even if they will not be ready to enter for • two or theree years, it will do no harm to be on the waitng list. The proportion of rural students varies from year to year but last year • the roll at Macdonald showed forty- two per cent of girls from rural homes. Many of these were taking the short courses which leads us to •another difficulty. Obviously stud- ents catolbt take a course for which they have not had the necessary pre- liminary training, and some of the farm daughters who take a three - months' practical course, would have enrolled for a two-year course had. they had the necessary schooling. Continuation schools and ,other facil- ities for upper school work in rurel tommunities will mean much to the ambitious farm girl, whether ?ler •studies mean personal independence or a broader and fuller life in her own home. ' Aside froin'the academic training. there Is much of value for a girl in. such a school, The opportunity to study under the direction of women.

Btr.t. the things that make her grateful are when he observes the amenities of matrimony; when he adorns domestic life with the little thrills of attention and cOnsideration. For instance, a wife is filled with gratitude to her lmsband if he will treat her fairly well about money, and if he gives it to her voluntarily instead of grudgingly handing it as if he were giving alms t� a beg- gar, It is not so much what a hus- band gives his wife as how he gives it. There are husbands who appar- ently begrudge the very food and clothes their wives and children eat and wear.• , 1 No wife is thankful for money she has to wheedle out of her huSband, but she is very grateful—considering that she has earned, her share of it —for her husband to give her an al- lowance, over ated above what it costs to run the home, and never ask her what she does with it. •A wife is as grateful to her hus- band for a few kind words as a starv- ing dog is for a piece of meat. Un- doubtedly the majority of men contin- ue to love their wives after marriage. But so far as the average wife knows her husband never takes a look at her after he leaves the altar except to notice some ilefect. If she fishes for a compliment and asks hiru how she looks, he grunts and says: "Umplal getting fat, aren't you?' If she calls his attention to a new dress,lhe tells her it's too gay, or too short and de- mands to know why she can't dress sensibly. Correct in style— and wear like iron BM GOOD SHOE I_ 4d4CA14°. W. J. GREER, Wingham, Ontario. By (Josephine Huddleston) A great many womeh have asked why a soft paper napkin or one of the especially prepared paper* cold cream removers no4SV, on the market have an advantage over the old, method of re- moving cosmetics from the face with a soft, clean paper. One of the reasons a sanitary oaper cold creern remover is far more bene- ficial is hat so often the soft, clean cloth used does cosmetic removal ser- vice several times before a clean cloth is taken, And this breeds trouble. Just because the impurities have been removed from the skin with a cleans- ing cream does not mean that those same impurities won't go right back on the skin if the same cloth is used several times. It is easy to wipe off cream from one part of the face and then go to another part without changing the cloth, so that an absolutely clean bit touches the skin each time, And, if a clean spot in the "cloth isn't found each time, the impurities removed are put right back where they came from. That is the reason why so manywo- men complain that face creams do not cleanse their skins. Cold cream does penetrate the pores and •thoroughly ,cleanse the skin, but only when pro- perly removed. You can make the comparison very !easily for yourself. Just use the cloth !for removing your cream. After re- moving as Much as possible this way and without being careful to see that absolutely clean cloth touches the skin .each time, take a soft tissue paper 'napkin and rub it gently over the face. 1The fragile nature of the paper makes it necessary to keep folding and re- folding it to find intact places in the napkin and in this way ,only clean paper comes in contact wall the skin. You evill be amazed at the amount of cream removed after ;Wu thought all of it had been removed with the soft cloth. Mrs. Stella Renwick spent the week- end with her sister, Miss Freeda Duffy in Toronto.

PROTECTION FROM PESTS The doctrine of early and thorough screening has been pretty well circu- latedi yet the laggard needs it driv- en home. Every winrlow, door and other opening from the top to the bottom of the house should be screen- ed. Cellar, pantry and transoms that may be used as ventilators must not be forgotten. This keeps out files, mosquitoes and all flying things. All screen doors should have springs on them to insure proinpt and efficient closing. •, After housecleaning,all plumbing should be examined, traps' and pipes cleaned and open chimneys lightly stuffed with newspapers to keep the dust from blowing down into the room. After the cellars are cleaned, lime should be scattered around the edge of the walle, the walls white- washed and sulphur burned to des- troy any creeping, crawling things that may have nested in the beams. Leave the , doors open in the day time to let in air and sunshine to keep away dampness and mould. See that nothing is left around the outside of the house that will attract flies, and do not put a milk bottle out without washing it.
