For Pulling Tooth
One of the most generous men
in the world is a Scotsman, He is
a self-made millionaire named
Harry Falconer McLean, who lives
in Canada.
Although he hates publicity,
Canadian reporters have relied on
him for years to provide them
with a constant stream of news
items.
McLean gives generously to vari-
ous charities, but it is his "small''
gifts that appeal to the public
fancy.
One day he went to a musical
comedy and enjoyed the show so
much that he sent every member
of the chorus a mink coat.
During the war he turned up at
* Toronto soldiers' ,hospital and
distributed hundred -dollar bills to
nurses and patients to the amount
of $3,000 dollars.
One evening McLean was late
for a train, but the taxi-driver got
him to the station in record time.
,iNext day the driver's baby boy
received a cheque for $2,0001
There have been other super
spendthrifts. In America, before
the war, "Coal -Oil Johnny" Steele
spent 8,000 dollars on clothes • in
a single day.
When he stayed at an hotel in
Philadelphia one of the clerks
failed to accord him proper defer-
ence. "Coal -Oil Johnny" paid out
$10,000 to lease the hotel for one
day -and fired the clerk.
HATED SPENDING
An ancestor of the Marquis of
Hastings was a lavish spender. But
he wagertd his entire inheritance
on one horse,
And the horse lost.
Years ago. Hollywood made a
film about another fabulous rich
man. ;He was "Diamond Jim"
Brady, who had a separate, com-
plete set of jewelled studs, rings
and cuff -links for every day of the
month.
But what about multi -millionaire
"Unsinkable", Suit Suits Her -Carolyn Keen, 1 5 -month-old water -
baby, floats along with utmost confidence. She's wearing an "un-
sinkable' oathing suit, which is being tested by the Infantile
Paralysis Fellowship of London, England. Particularly useful in
supporting polio patients, unc ergoing water therapy treatments,
the suit may also be worn under street clothing, and is said to be
able to support a person indefinitely.
John D. Rockerfeller? He signed
cheques for thousands of dollars,
but hated spending loose change
on himself. One day (so the story
goes) he went to the dentist to
have a tooth out.
"How much?" he inquired be •
-
fore hand. "Three dollars," said
the dentist, who didn't know his
client was Rockerfeller.
"Three dollars just to pull a
tooth!" mumbled the millionaire.
"Here's one dollar, Loosen. it a
little -bit!"

nes elate A► dt'ews
What to put in school childrens
lunch boxes is a five -times -a -week
problem which thousands of
mothers are up against. I thor-
oughly agree with a suggestion
made by Eleanor Richey Johnston
in this connection. Writing in the
Christian' Science Monitor she ad-
vises that you should always - be
sure to pack a surprise in. the boxy
because" all 'children ` loite surprises;
and are happy with even the simp-
lest ones. When you're icing cup-
cakes, for instance, it takes only a
few seconds to write your child's
name on it with jelly beans or• to
press an animal cracker or a fancy
colored gumdrop into the center
before the icing hardens.
* * *
If you're making pies, roll the
leftover dough and cut into small
rounds or animal shapes and cover
with a mixture of butter, sugar,
and cinnamon befire you bake
them. Add colored sugar for an
especially gay effect.
* * *
Fruit is an addition to every
lunch, and it will appeal to the im-
agination of your child if, when
he turns to his lunch box apple,
he finds you- have taken out the
core and filled the- cavity with rai-
sins.
*
Oranges are, of course, a per-
ennial lunch -box favorite and it
is a good idea to prepare them
for easy eating. First, nark a
strip about % inch wide complete-
ly,encircling the orange at the
"equator"' line. Now remove peel
above and below. Cut remaining
inch band vertically at a section
division and gently part the orange
to its core. Now part each section
separately until they all lie flat on
their backs attached to one another
by the % in. band of peel. They
are easily put back in position then,
ready' for the lunchbox, yet ready
to eat with little muss.
* * *
Tuck in the sandwich package
a cube of cheese on a colored tooth-
pick or a Iittle package, of raisins
or . carrot sticks wrapped in sieve-•
foil and tied with colored cord to
add interest to the meal.

Here are a few suggestions for
sandwich fillings that your child
will like. You can .devise others,
using what you have in the house
as well as catering to the taste of
your own child:
Cream cheese, jam, and raisins.
Chopped dates, chopped nuts,
lemon juice, and mayonnaise.
Ground cooked meat,. •pickle
relish, chopped hard -cooked eggs,
and mayonnaise.
Chopped frankfurters, pickle
relish, mustard, and chili sauce.
Tuna fish, chopped hard -cooked
eggs, chopped celery, chopped pic-
kle, and salad dressing.
Peanut butter and chopped bacon.
Peanut butter and dried ground
fruits.
Cottage cheese, chopped peanuts,
and apricot jam:
Grated Canadian cheese, ground
or grated onion, chipped beef, and
chili sauce.
Peanut butter and honey or
orange marmalade.
Cream cheese and grape jelly,
strawberry jani, or chopped dates.
If you would like to know the pro-
portions that make the best sand-
wich fillings, here are a few exact
recipes. You can adjust your own
ingredients to these:

Just as youngsters hate to go
back to school after the summer
vacation, cows in many instances
resent .being deprived of their liber-
ty in the fall. The change from
green forage to dry hay and silage,
the reduction in the amount of daily
exec cise can result in reduction in
feed intake and milk production-
and in digestive disorders, Besides
these things other items of care,
must be considered if the comfort
and well being of the herd is to be
kept. at a high level.
* * *
The ability of a dairyman is
quickly reflected by how his herd
reacts to the change -over from pas-
ture to dry roughage in the fall
of the year. The experienced herds-
man makes the changeover from
pasture to dry roughage feeding as
gradual as possible. As the pas-
ture becomes shorter and of lower
nutritional value he ' substitutes
good hay and corn silage as rough-
age fed in racks in pasture and in'
barn at milking. As the nights be-
come cold and frostyhe keeps the
cows in the barn and lets them out
to graze only during the sunny
part of the day.
* * ' a:
During the change -over period
fall -planted rye and legume hay
lands can be grazed for a few hours
a day to a very good advantage.
Never pasture Sudan grass after
f'r'osts, since freezing develops a
cyanic acid in the plants that may
poison cattle. When cattle are first
confined to the barn watch the con-
dition of the droppings. Cows that
show a tendency to constipation
and hard dropping should be given
a tonic prescription at once to get
them hack to rormal.
* * *
During the summer pasture per-
iod, sunshine and showers keep the
cows' hair coats and skin, clean and
fresh. Being kept in the barn
changes this, and necessitates daily
cleaning to remove loose hair, dirt,
and manure which accumulates.
The best dairymen curry and brush
their cows daily after the morning
milking. Such treatment stimulates
the flow of blood just below the
surface of the skin, and makes the
cows feel more comfortable. The
head, neck, flanks, udder and belly
should be clipped soon after
stabling the herd, in the interest
of cleanliness and easier grooming.
* * *
Care and sanitation play a strong
part in the prevention and control
of mastitis. Ample bedding should
be kept under cows at all times
while they are in the barn during
the winter, This will prevent the
cows' udder from resting on the
cold concrete floors, which prac-
tice can lead to swellings, 'fever and
mastitic in the udder. Cold floors
are not the direct cause of mastitis,
a common "winter tine" disease,
but it is a fact that this disease is
much more prevalent in herds
where cows lie on cold floors with
insufficient bedding. This is due to
the fact that an udder, weakened
by chilling on a hard cold floor,
is much more susceptible to an at-
tack of Mastitis.
* * *
Studies at the University of Il-
linois have shown that a large per-
centage of acute mastitis cases were
started by teat and udder injuries,
improper sterilization of milking
machine tea cups, and failure to
prevent mastitis germs from travel-
ing from one cow to the other over
the stall platf isms and bedding.
Tests have shown that mastitis
germs live as long as 20 days on
undisiefected stall pla-Corms or
cows skin. Where such germs con-
tacted. properly disinfected surfaces,
the life of the mastitis germ was
cut to less than one day. This, in-
dicates the vital necessity of proper
disinfection in the protection of a
milking herd against mastitis infec-
tion, A good dip and disinfectant
solution should be sprayed on the
stall floor and bedding of cows
every day or so.
* * * .
Should a cow develop mastitis in
spite of the precautions mentioned,
the use of a mastitis treatmentis
recommended, Penicillin - dihydro-
streptomycin ointment is a highly
effective treatment if used in time.
This product comes in a handy
"squeeze" tube that makes treat-
ment very easy. The small tip of
the tube is inserted in.the infected
teat and the contents slowly squeez-
ed out of the tube and into the
quarter. Then a light massage
spreads the ointment throughout
the quarte.r
* * *
Many times a cow's udder may
be bruised or damaged by being
stepped on, butted, or stung by in-
sects. This causes congestion in
one or more quarters of the udder.
In such cases, bathing with warns
water, milking out, and rubbing
with an udder ointment several
times a day, will bring relief and
prevent a "gargety" condition -
which may lead to infectious mas-
titis.
* * *
Winter conditions of housing,
cause cattle to become more sus-
ceptible to attacks of lice. It is
therefore, a good practice, to treat
the herd regularly, by applying a
dry insecticide or louse powder in
the spots where the lice usually
frequent, namely around the shoul-
ders, meek, brisket, and tail. A
repeat treament every 3 or 4 weeks,
as needed, should be given.
Having missed his railway con-
nection, a disgruntled man spent a
miserable hour exploring a Clark
and dreary town in the pouring
rain, Hoping to cheer himself up
with a really good meal, he en-
tered a restaurant,
"What .have you got that's
good?" 1:e asked a waitress grump-
ily.
"Sage hen," she answered.
"What's sage hen?"
"Oh, it's a bird that's shot
around here."
"Has it got wings?"
"Of `course it's got wings."
"Then I don't want any," snort-
ed the man. "I don't want any-
thing that has wings and still
stays in this rotten town,"
A Hollywood starlet once upset
precedent by asking Kreisler for
an autograph instead of giving her
own to wild-eyed bobby soxers.
The starlet's disarming request read
-"It doesn't matter whether you
write it or print it, Mr. Kreisler.
I copy all my autographs over, any-
how, alphabetically in my •scrap-
book."

LESSON
By Rev. R, B. Warren, ILL, B.%
Jesus Dedicates His 'Life
Matthew 3:16 to 4:11; 4:11.
Memory Selection:
Lo, I conte to do thy will, 0 Go&
Hebrews 10;7
We now begin a coarse of les-
sons upon the Gospel as recorded"
by Matthew. It will continue for
two quarters. Matthew seems to
write with the Jews particularly la
mind, He begins with Abraham
and sets forth Christ as the des-
s:ah. "That it might be fulfilled
which was written" occurs many
times, Christ was the fulfillment df
the hopes expressed in the Old
Testament. Matthew does not
speak of Christ's ascension. Mark
writing of Romans begins wvitk
Malachi and shows Christ as est
active worker. He gives His rester
rection and ascension, Luke writes
of Gentile converts. He begins with
John the Baptist though he traces
the lineage of Jesus back to Adana
and to God. There is no sugges-
tion of any state in which man was
either a water puppy or a chimpan-
zee. Luke presents Christ, as the
. perfect man, He gives His resur-
rection and the promise of a Com-
forter. John begins with God and
present Christ as a personal Savior,
He speaks of Christ coming again.
Together they give beautiful view
of the life and ministry of Jesus
Christ. The writers had a different
emphasis but without any contra.
diction.
Jesus Christ met and defeated the
Tempter. Strong appeals were made
to the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eye and the pride of life, But
where Eve and Adain had fallen,
Jesus remained steadfast. He saw
beyond the present and would not
sacrifice the future good for the
present pleasure. Since He won on
the battle field of temptation, we,
by His grace, may also win. He
has paved the way for victory over
sin, the flesh and thea devil.
Through Him we are conquerors.
May the spirit of obedience which
characterized the life of our Savior,
be ours, too.

FA IL Y ALBUMS
From Countryman's Year, by Haydn S. Pearson
ULTRAMODERN sophisticates look down their noses at anything
remotely tinged with Victorianism. In their judgment family albums
are definitely a part of the spirit of ,yesteryear. Perhaps we are still too
young as people to appreciate properly the soul -satisfying traditions of
previous generations, but time is catching up on this regrettable attitude.
The collection properly begins with a group of old daguerreotypes
and ferrotypes. Great-grandfathers posed stiffly in their hirsute glory.
In the nineteenth century beards and mustaches framed faces of solid,
resolute character. Great-grandmothers used billows of petticoats and
fetching bustles and seemed to favor high neckpieces of lacy, starched
material. They piled their hair high and occasionally they went in for
braids worn as a crown. But in the faces of those men and women,
family likenesses can be seen.
At the turn of the century, styles were more daring. Beards were
disappearing and the bustle was gone; petticoats were reduced to one or
two. There were Gargantuan hats piled high with flowers and ornamental
fruits. The girls, now grandmothers, had prim shirtwaists, ankle -length
skirts, and high shoes. The boys specialized in tight -fitting •suits and
wide white collars, Through the years the procession continued, The
changes in dress reflected the growing freedom of human beings as they
emerged into the age of mechanical marvels. The bulky, billowy bathing
suits gradually came nearer the irreducible minimum. • The cars changed
from horseless carriages to modern streamlined automobiles.
The family .album is a part of our growing tradition; it tells the
story of myriad changes. On a rainy afternoon when the children gather
round the living -room table to see the pictures and hear the familiar,
loved stories, they arc learning a nation's history.
