Well, the power of suggestion
was too strong ----both Partner and
finally succumbed to "radio fin"
-or colds, or something that was
equally unpleasant. But we tnan.
aged to stagger our 'afflictions --
Partner was just nicely recover-
ing front his bout when I trent
down with mine. 5o that made
things easier but not a bit more
pleasant. I haven't got over the
snuffer stage yet and tonight I was
trying to figure out what I would
like for supper - that wouldn't be
too much trouble and yet be good
for a cold. Suddenly memory took
me back through the years . , , and
was a child again and mother was
doctoring me with a simple, dome
remedy as she always did.
1 don't know when aspirin came
into general use but I certainly
can't remember it being used
when I was young. Mother's rem-
edies did not come from. the pa-
tent medicine counter. No, at the
first sign of a cough or cold we
children had to sit with our feet
i11 a hot mustard foot -bath before
going to bed. :We were undressed
first and sat with a woollen blan-
ket wrapped around us - this
was so we could hop into bed
quickly directly we started to
perspire. While our extremities
were soaking our beds were being
made nice and warm either with
flatirons or a "stone pig". There
was only one stone pig in the
house and since it was a privilege
to Have it we took turns in using
it. Old Country readers will ccr-
tainly know what 1 1neall by a
"stone pig" but in case there are
others nit() don't, made I had
better explain. A stone pig- was a
sort of hot water bottle, made of
creamy color ironstone -ware and
the shape of it really did resemble
a nice, frit little pig. We used to
till it with boiling water, wrap it
up hi a flannel jacket ---told thea.
I'm telling Von, it kept hot for
hours.
As 8000 as we were in bed
:Mother came along with a bottle
of camphorated oil -previously
warmed i.y standing the bottle in
]tot water. Our chests were rub-
bed back and front until they tvere
red, Then nice hot pieces of
flannel were fastened in some way
so they stayed on our cheats and
back.s That done Mother hustled
oft" to the kitchen. In a few min-
utes she would be back :gain with
bowls of steaming hot breed and
milk or "pepper sop". Pepper sop
was bread soaked in hot milk and
water, dotted with butter. and
sprinkled liberally with pepper.
My sister loved it but I didn't
like pepper so I was allowed plain
bread and milk. And the way my
mother made bread and milk was
out of this world. 1 have seen
other folk make it for children -
just by putt: ng little squares of
bread in a plate and pouring ]tot
milk over theta. .Lot Mother
broke up a slice of bread, dropped
it into cold milk, and then brought
the bread and milk to boil togeth-
er. This made it nice and creamy
-with plenty of brawn sugar it
was delicious.
Small wonder with all this care
our colds were generally "sweat-
ed" out of us in sort order. help-
ed along by a generous dose of
liquorice powder! 1 was the only
one who often did not respond
too quickly but had a way of de-
veloping bronchitis ittstead. It
was then that mother would fall
back on her favourite patent
cough medicine-Owbridges Lung
Tonic.. 1 thiuk 1 am safe in men-
tioning this trade name as T
haven't seen it mentioned for
years so 1 imagine it is now ex-
tinct. 1f Owbridge's didn't work
then I was dosed with inecacuau-
ha wine -a bitter tasting concoc-
tion used as an emetic. I recall
so well that I can even remember
how to spell it! 1 also remember
Mother having my eldest brother
nip may itbse , to make Inc swallow
the stag.
When we reached the conval-
eseent stage Mother gave us
something that was called chemi-
cal food -to bring back jaded ap-
petites.
11 looked and tasted like a nice
red syrup and needed no persua-
sion to take it. Mother's home
remedies and good nursing must
have had good results as we sel-
dom had a doctor in the house.
And it was good training for me.
'Then Partner and I were out on
the prairie, miles away from a
doctor. Daughter would some-
tlnles wake up with bad attack of
croup --and it was wine of ipecac
that saved her from choking.
Tonight, thinking about mother
and her remedies, 1 made .myself
a bowl of bread and milk -and
it tasted just as good as I remem-
ber it!
I just asked Partner what his
mother did when they had colds.
"We didn't have colds." he an-
swered. "The very thought of
staying in kept then. away!"
Now 1 wonder -haven't 1 stir-
red up a few memories for some
o[ you people:

LESSON
By Rev. R. BARCLAY WARREN
B.A., B.D.
Through Death to Life
Mark 15:33-37; 16:1-7
Memory Selection=Lo I am with
you always -Matthew 28:20b.
Each of the Gospel records gives
a full account of the events culmin-
ating in the death and resurrection
of Jesus Christ. This is the .funda-
mental thesis of the Gospel, ,namely
that Christ died for our sins ac-
cording to the Scriptures and rose
again the third day. Tln4tss the
basis on which salyatiegaitt€ttll sna
is preached to alt men kS
In last Sunday's lesson •t'i'e saw
Jesus praying in agony in the gar-
den. Leaving there, Ile was betray-
ed by Judas to the Roman soldiers,
Peter drew his sword . and cut off
the ear of the servant .of the high
priest. Jesus replaced the' ear and
said to :Peter, "Put up again thy
sword into its place: for all they
that take the sword shall perish by
the sword. Thinkest thou that. I
cannot pray to my Father, and He
shall presently give me more than
twelve legions of angels? But how
then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus *it must be?" Matthew
26:52-54. It is a pity that ;the war
mongers of the world do not under-
stand this scripture, Hitler and Mis-
solini understand it now. Elisha
found that prayer was much more
effective in defense than an army.
11 Kings 6:18. Then carne the ]nock
trial before the church leaders, fol-
lowed by the civil trial before Pi-
late and Herod. Pilate, fearing that
the people would report his pre-
vious misbehaviour (Luke 13:1,
John 19:12) to Caesar, utter; d the
death sentence.
Jesus was on the cross from nitre
in the morning to three o'clock in
the afternoon, From noon until
three o'clock there was a great
darkness. At the last He cried, "My'
God, my God, why has Thou for-
saken vie?" Jesus, the Son of God,
bore our sins alone. On the third
day. Jesus arose from the dead.
This verified ilis claim to Deity,
Hence He cooler say before 11is
ascension, "Lo, I :nn with you
alttays "
"ITe live:. Ile lives,
Christ Jess- lives today.

Cooling Panels
Unwanted heat can be removed.
from a roots by cooling panels even
if their temperature is at or some-
what lower than that of the room,
says Charles S, Leopold, consult-
ing engineer. This is possible be-
cause electric lights and sunlight
are sources of radiant energy which
is converted into heat when it
strikes surfaces at temperatures be-
low their own, The cooling paaaels
can therefore by maintained at
temperatures High enough to 'pre-
vent condensation on their sur-
faces, A large portion of the heat
load that must be. removed fr'oni a
building is initially in the form of
radiation from either electric lights
or the sun. This radiation has only'
a small direct effect on heating the
air but a large effect on 'heating
the interior surface of the building
and also on the performance of
both air-cooling and panel -cooling
systems, says Leopold.
