A HASTESS SAVER The hostess who wants to spend most of her time in the open air with her guests is faced with the task of finding giuelcly-prepared cliches that are tempting and attrac- tive Here is a solution of the lunch- eon or supper problem that is certain to prove popular—old potatoes bak- ed in their skins and etuffed with minced ham. Partly bake the potatoes in their skins, allowing one for each person. Scoop out the centres and fill with minced meat, preferably ham or bacon. Put a few dabs of butter on each, anti return to the oven to fin- ish cooking. Serve piping hot. The advantage of this dish is that one is certain to possess the ingred- ients, and it is a good stand-by for a meal should one "run out" of other things. • A COOLING DRINK 6 lemons 1 cup sugar 6 eups cold water Lemon slices Extract lemon juice, add sugar, and stir until dissolved.

HINTS FOR THE HOME Add a little salt to 'the bluing water and it will prevent streaks in the clothes. Dull -finished ribbons should be pressed on the wrong side. It will prevent shine. Roast lamb should be basted con- stantly to give it the best flavor. It gets tasteless and dry if this is not done. For burns and scalds cover with cooking soda and lay wet cloths over it. Other good remedies are whites of eggs and olive or linseed oil. Plain white canvass pumps can be tinted any desired color by using a small package of good dye, and ap- plying with a brush. If chocolate has a gray coating during the hot days it does not mean that it is spoiled. It only indicates that some of the fat has melted and conte to, the surface. A good ice -saving hint is to collect all foods that are to be placed in the refrigerator and put them away at one time, avoiding the opening of the door so many times. To banish odors when cooking `smelly' vegetables, place a small pan of vinegar on the back of the stove. It will prevent the odor from going all through the house. To relieve ,tired feet soak them for about twenty minutes in warm water, to which has been added bak- ing soda, _sea salt, or epsorn salts. Dry thoroughly and dust with talc- um powder, especially between the toes. Mistakes "'There are six mistakes of life that many of us make," said a famous English author recently, Then he gave the following list: "The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others down. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. Re- fusing to set aside trivial preferences, in order that important things may be accomplished. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading. At- tempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do," Of Course Joe Was Wrong A story from Vancouver te11s in brief tom the strange adventure of Joe Balango. Jou, we read, has been on relief in the coast city for some time, and he grew weary of the sur- roundings into which sad circum- stances had' compressed hint. The limitations n ere •severe and of var- iety in existence there was none, Joe longed for a change, nor was he content witb thinking about it. For him decision and action follow- ed closely one upon the heels of the other. That is why Joe Balaugo went and registered at a bang-up good hotel in Vancouver. What's more he stayed there for two full week's before some person around the premises suggested that Joe might pass some currency across in the general direction of the cash- ier, Hotels of course are like that, particularly bang pp hotel's. Then it was that the hotel discover- ed that Joe had made a short excur- sion into good surroundings and he had no ticket. The upshot was that lee appeared in court and waseetel, d that for the next two months he would be provided with another place to stay—in jail. -- Stratford Beacon- Herald. APOLOGY FOR LAUGHING Elizabeth Bohm in the New York Times I understood. We who are born to die Grow in a mold not hard to under- stand. The laughter that I lifted was a hand Between the falling terrors of the sky And my frail eyes. I flung its sparkle high Like fireworks into night. Oh, clutch at sand When solid rock betrays your feet and land Crumbles in foam! Laugh — only do not cry; Crush the wax flowers, tear the false black lace! Let us have our joke about these laws Of blood which operate without a cause, These worlds that skid against the ports of space; If Death himself appear, in that huge pause Laugh, laugh against the metal of his face! LAUGHTER "Laughter is indispensable for the health of the body and soul." ---Aldous Huxley.

We may not be of great renown, But to soma of us cling those memor- ies sweet, Which, like silver bells, will echo and ring, . Forever down our street. We pass by homes, some are great, some small, But all are filled with love by those who are dear, A church on the corner which points us all To that home above without a tear. Those that help the body we also meet, Doctors, and nurses, a minister too. Are with. us, on our street. As we walk along, we can almost feel, The touch of the hand of those once There Who were one with us, and still are real Again we hear sweet words of cheer, in heart we greet For love ne'er dies, they yet are dear, As along we go, those friends of yes. terday, Down Pine, our own home street. —Ella H, Hudson. Overwork Affects Nerves—Holiday Much Needed A hard-working professional man came to see me, writes a doctor, be- cause of a persistent dull headache which he had almpst continuously. He was suffering from the results of a long period of overwork with insuf- ficient fresh air and exercise. His head felt tight, as if clamped in an iron band, and his nerves were in a bad state. The change of work or a holiday was quite impossible for various rea- sons, As his habits were temperate there was no need tor alteration in his node of living, except that I ad- vised him to avoid red meat or highly spiced food. He was to take his meals as dry as possible, and physical exercises and regular visits to a gym- nasium were urged. A nerve sedative would only give temporary relief in such a case. A change of mental outlook was the chief necessity, but such, alas! was not in my power to give hint. NOK Things You'd Never Know W. E.

Keys of City of Edinburgh Presented ' The first official engagement of, john Buchan, M.P., as Lord High Commissioner of the General Assem- bly of the Church of Scotland was the tarrying out of the ancient ceremony associated with the keys of the city.

Thomp- son, accompanied by the magistrates, presented the keys to the Lord High Commissioner as a token of the city's loyalty to the King, The keys, of silver gilt, were carried on a velvet cushion by the City Chamberlain.

It is the equivalent of the white wo- man's vanity bag. The bag looks something Iike a closely woven onion bag but it is made of grass stalks instead of string. Around it are displayed and labelled the contents as carried about by the average woman of the Kakodu tribe. Like any other woman she has her powder and her paint—white pipeclay and red ochre for painting the body. She has even some locks of hair, black and woolly, and probably her own. Here and there among relics of meals are fresh water mussel shells, a stone for pounding them open, part of a lily root, used for food, an orn- ament of kangaroo teeth, a fragment of plaited split cane, a small lump of beeswax, and a mass of wool from the cotton trees.
