DO YOU' KNOW YOUR
CHILDREN
How little parents know of their
children! In most families the father
and mother have a .casual speaking
acquaintance with their boys and their
girls, There is no intimacy and they.
know no more of what,their children
think, of their plans and, hopes,
than if they were strangers. Parents,
will deny. this, Their children's minds
are open books" to them! And they
tell els their children are this or that
and they don't smoke or swear, and
we .smile, knowing their children, bet-
ter than they do, and having contrary
information. When Johnny and Molly
reach the age when they must choose.
their life work and turn to father and
mother for guidance,' the parents
throw up their hands in despair, They
cannot help the boy or girl at this cris-
is of their lives.
You would think from the time
Johnny and Molly were in the cradle,
'their parents would, have been prob-
ing into their little minds to ,see what
was there, watching their development
so that they could give them a start
on the road to success by helping them
to make the most of their gifts. No-
thing of the kind happens. Mother
and father have never got well enough
acquainted with Johnny to know he
has a'personality which would make
him an expert salesman. So they let
him blunder into a second, rate book-
keeper. They don't know Tom well
enough to have .found out that he is
a mechanical genius, so he takes the
first Jerking job that comes along.
They never noticed that Jane is a
wizard with the needle, or Mary a
born teacher. The children ask
"What career should we follow?" And
they reply: "We do not know.' '
Any child can be managed if you go
about it the right way, but you have
to know something: about its temper
and temperament. It is foil, to think
you can bring up all childre'fi by the
same rule. Some have to be driven
with a light rein; others need a curb.
The world. is strewn with men and
women whose lives were ruined be-
cause their parents did not know them.
Highly -strung girls and boys driven
from home by petty tyrany. Sensitive
and shy children are made distrustful
of themselves by nagging criticism
Girls, thwarted in their desire for
self-expression, are turned into sour
old, maids, or else they married men
they did not love in a desperate effort
to gain freedom:
What tragedies could be avoided if
only parents Were well caio,u&li ac-
quainted with theirchildren to know
their possibilities and limitations
virtues and faults,strength and weak-
ness, so that they might encourage
the timid child and suppress egoism
in the conceited one. It is principally
the children's lose when their parents
refuse to get'ncquaintetii with them,
but it is the parents' loss also because
11mey must suffer in their children's
isfortunes. The average boy' and
girl are tongue-tied to their pFree
ts;
presence. That is one reason why
young people are never willing to.
stay at home in the evening. Yet
they are entertaining, these' young
people. They are gay, intelligent and
witty, and have novel and stimulating
views about life. They are so yvell
worth knowing that it would pay
father and mother to get acquainted.
CHILBLAIN MYSTERY SOLVED
Many : people dread the coming of
chilly clays because it spells chil-
blains and pains that will stay all the
season. It is no use waiting until the
winter setsin and chilblains" are rosy
on every finger and toe. Gone are
the day when chilblains were merely
treated to a hot mustard, bath every
night and their tortures borne in sil-
ence.
it does not take a good deal; of
reasoning to arrive at the conclusion
that the chilblain martyr is a victim
of poor blood; it is apparent that if
the blood is made richer, it will be
wanner and less sluggish' and so less
liable to chill.
Patience, perseverence and plenty
of hot water will do the trick! There
is nothing like hot water to cleanse
the blood of impurities, ana chilblain
sufferers are victims of innpure blood. fattening: Eliminate themimmediate-
which causes it to be stagnant. That ly from your list; also rice, macaroni
and beans. Have your meats broiled
or roasted, since all fried things must
be given up. Whipped cream, cakes,..
pastries and candies are among the
sacrifices that you must make.
•'• And to diet, don't forget you must
get the right frame of mind and not
be tempted.
MY FAVOURITE DISH
(13y Pole Negri)
•My favorite. dish is sweet potato
pudding.
Two pounds sweet potatoes, half
to budge. 'This is .due to lack of vi-
tality, but after a few weeks of the
hot water and orange juice cure the
sufferer will actually enjoy exercise,
When that time arrives, encourage
the person to walk more, It is the
finest •exercise in the world, Walk
smartly with an easy swing of. the
arras and the whole body will tingle
with the delight of rich, warm blood.
The chilblains :,will vanish.
EATING AND REDUCING
(By Anne Jordan)
n or
J )
Exercise is, of course, eg wonderful
way to reduce, but while strenuous
,exercise can take off a few pounds a
week 'perhaps, if you do not: watch
your diet, you can add several pounds
to take the place of what you lost,
just by 'eating rich foods.
A reducing diet isn't really, so hard
if you only know of all the nice things
ypu can have and still not worry a-
bout surplus weight. All kinds of sah
ads are recommended to you, provided
the dressing used on them is not made
with oil. You may eat all the meats
with :-the : exception of pork, all sea
foods, all fruits except pears, grapes
and bananas, and all kinds of vege-
tables except corn: There are plenty
of desserts that are delicious if made
with skimmed, milk instead of cream,
and they can be included in the reduc-
ing diet, 'Tapioca, cornstarch pudd-
ing, junket, cup custard and, blanc
mange may be made tide way and
they may be varied with canned fruits
or gelatins:
And now for the things to beware
of, beginning with bread. If you must
have it take it toasted and without
butter. Whole wheat bread is less fat-
tening than white. Potatoes arse very
is why doctors, instead of prescribing
ointments to burn the blain external-
ly, now advise patients to take plenty
of hot water. A tumblerful of hot
water with just a squeeze of lemon,
taken first thing in the morning, an-
other in the middle of the morning, a
further one in the afternoon and a last
one at night, will s do wonders for
blood 'sufferers. Coupled with this,
take generous doses of cod-liver • oil
and malt to warm the, blood. Raw to-
matoes and oranges give tone to the
system, and a .chilblain sufferer will pound butter, one. gill sweet cream,
one gill strong wine, one grated nut-
meg, a little lemon peel.
Boil the potatoes until thoroughly
done. Mash up fine and while still
hot add th ebutter and haf /pound of
sugar. Set aside to cool while you
beat up the eggs.' Add seasoning last
and bake in a moderate oven.
soon begin to feel that winter is not a
bad time. •
Throw away your chilblain oint-
ments, which only make the skin soft
and more susceptible to attacks. In
place of these, paint the skin with io-
dine which hardens it and makes it
impervious to the cold. '
Last, but not least, take plenty of
exercise! The chilblain sufferer, as a Listowel has organized a Rifle Club
rule, is the person who likes to huddle and also a Men's Musical Society. Per -
ed I haps the first is the result of the sec -
over a fire and, cannot be persuaded s d I and

QUEEN'.8 POST' BAG
Kathleen Woodward Book Contatns
Amusing T'al'es of Queo.0 ?lite l'
—Opens Her Own Letters.
Queen Mary's Hospital for the East
end of London is known as "Ilea's
Place." It earned its title• from a
conversation between Will Thorne,
Labor IVI.P., and the Prince of Wales,
at Lady Astor's dinner table. The
member for Plaistow announced that
he had Just been visiting his daugh-
ter in hospital,
"Oh, I am ,sori7," said the prince.
"Which hospital is she in?"
Mr. Thorne stared incredulously.
"Which place? Why, your ma's
place, of course," he replied.
The story is taken from Kathleen
Woodward'a book, "Queen Mary -a
Life and Intimate Study," The author
is a factory girl who became a jour-
nalist, and the book was published
with the permission of the Queen,
who allowed Miss Woodward many
facilities for obtaining hitherto un-
published details of her life.
There was in this hospital a very
"Red" patient, whose views of „royal-
ty were expressed every day and all
day in no uncertain terms until the
other patients were sick of the sound
of his voice. One day the Queen ar-
rived and made straight forthe pa-
tient's bed. She parried an armful
of roses and presented one to the
man.
The two chatted in a friendly fash-
ion for sone time, and afterwards he
called out: "Nurse, who was that?"
"That was the Queen," said the
nurse. To the end of his stay tiie
' well of propaganda dried up cora-
1 pietely.
Every morning Queen Mary has a
large post -bag, and opens all her let- 1,
ters herself. During the King's ill-
ness, not long ago, there came, a let-
ter addressed to "Mrs. Queen." It
was a message of condolence, con-
taining sympathy and understanding,
and ended with a forceful recom-
mendation
ecommendation to "rub your husband's
chest with camphorated oil When the
bronchial signs appear."
Letters have reached Buckingham
Palace addressed to "Mrs. England,"
"Madam Majesty," and other names.
One same recently from the Isle of
Dogs, in which the writer said: "Just
a few lines hoping you are the same
as it leaves nee' at present. Wishing
your eon, the Prince of Wales, many
happyy returns of the day. I shall
always remember your son's birth-
day, for he was born on my wedding
day."
A peep into Queen Mary's boudoir
would reveal an entire absence of
restoratives and' cosmetics. There
is no tampering with her beautiful
grey hair or enviable complexion..
When the Queen goes to Holyroad
she has been known to tuck up her
sleeves and clean the furniture and.
carpets,
A. curious friendship sprang up be-
tween the Queen and Mary Mac-
Arthur,
awArthur, founder and organizer at
the National Federation of the Wo-
men Workers of Great Britain.
The Queen used to visit Mary
MacArthur in her home in Mecklen-
burg Square, and here they would
discuss Trade Union problems, Mary
lecturing the Queen on the injustice
of things. Sometimes the discussion
took place in the palace.
"Well, Mary," the -Socialist was
asked on her return from' her first
meeting with the Queen, "did you
ebnce?" ack out from Her Majesty's pros -
"No," said Mary, firmly; "not be-
ing °a gymnast I did. not."
During the war Queen Mary was
the . first to stop all luxuries .in the
,palace, and introduced a system of
rationing. When the King and Queen
visited a hospital, the King noticed
a new apparatus for central heating.
"How lucky you are?" he said..
"You know, we have to live in.a cor-
ner of one room to keep warm1"
After a moment's reflection, he add-
ed: "And you can have hot bathe
every day! I only get a hot bath
once a week, and you just can't
lather soap in cold water, can you?"
The Queen's preference for toques
in millinery is well known; she dis-
likes anything that shades her eyes.
ls3er favorite color in dress' Is a
wistaria -delphinium, blue -pale, with
• a' suggestion of mauve. In furnish-
ing she prefers Du Barry rose. In
all things she prefers soft pastel
shades to brilliancy seedless a mark-
ed aversion to black.
Queen Mary has in her possession
a pair of valuable pearl ear -rings.
that ,belonged to her grandmother,
the Oomtesse de Ithedey. " There is a
story that the Comtesse doubted whe-
ther the pearls were real on account
of their unparalleled size. Her hus-
band drew his sword one day and
out one of the pearls apart ,with one
sweep of his sword to prove their
genuineness. To this day the pearl
bears the markt where it wag rejoined.

SABBATH MADNESS
The Sabbath, once the day of rest,
is now fast becoming known as the
'day of eternal rest. For more people
now come to an untimely death onn"
that day than any other day of the
week. Mad motoring is responsible
for this ghastly change.
The Sabbath was made for man, to
be sure, but not for the exercise to
his uttermost folly. Yet as surely as
Monday rolls around we have 'the
gruesome front page news of the
dead, and dying and the injured who
have 'apparently gone niad over Sun-
day and have paid the price.
This is not the full extent of the
bad uses to which we are putting the
Sabbath day, althqugh they are the
most spectacular. Add to this list
the jangled nerves to many a good.
