THE VILLAGE GROCER
(After Longfellow)
By ° H. I., Phillips
Under a spreading wen of rules
The village grocer stands;
His brow is all" tied up in knots
His head is inhis hands,
And there hardly is, from day to
day,
`A rule he ' understands! , .
His hair, is thin and getting worse
'His face is grey or blue.
His brow is wet with honest"
sweat; .
'His set-up is so new!
`i g •ere r -.dizzy, too,
Day in, day out from morn tiff
nighty.
You can hear the loud disputes
As the women battle for saur-
kraut,
Waxedbeans and processed
•
Emits—
And the grocer's
ruits—And'the`grocer's lot is some loud
Bronx cheers
Plus some most discordant
hoots.
And children coming home from
school
Look in at the" open door;
They love to see how their elders
act '•
lIn a rationed grocery. store
When both" sides figure their
total points
And" .dispute the final score.
He goes on Sunday to the 'church
And sees the people meek—
And marvels ,'that they 'are the
ones .
Who fought with him all week;
And he's glad there are no .cou-
.pon cards
When the parson starts to
speak.
Toiling, computing, sorrowing
Onward through life, he goes;
Each morning sees the mail open-
ed
With 'new rules to ,disclose;
owe

HIGH 1-1UMIQITY
SAVES COAL
A favourite summer complaint
is' "It's not the heat, but the
humidity". In the winter, how-
ever, they become -words of wis ,
dom. By maintaining high hum
idity ,in. the home, householders
will be more comfortable even
though temperatures are lower.
On top, of that, they will save
many a shovelful of coal. ,
Even if it were not necessary to
save . every bit ,pLJuel_pws$ible,_ _....u..__ -
health , alone would indicate
plenty of moisture in the air.
In winter the . air 'is . dry and
thirsty. It must obtain moisture
from somewhere,„, and that some-
where is often from an individ;
uai's body and nasal passages.
Doctors agree that there would
be feWer colds and nose infec-
tions if humidity were higher in
Canadian . homes,
There • are • several. simple
things that will help to maintain'.
higher humidity. Here are a few
of them:
Keep, the pan. in the hot air
furnace, if there is one, well fill-
ed with water. If this is not suf-
ficient,, place cans of–water, just
inside the registers, not where
they'll show, but where •they will
do .their work effectively.:
After taking a bath„ ,leave . the
Hot water standing in. the . tub.
until it is cold. At the, same time
•leave the bathroom. door ,open so
that the moisture can • penetrate
into the other rooms.
Potted plants make good hum-
idifiers, if they're kept well wa
ered. Their , porous pots literay'T'
ooze .moisture. '
. A pan of water underneath the
radiator is a good substitute. for
the regular humidifying pans
that fit on the back of, the rad-
iator. A good idea is to place
one end of a small piece of ab=
sorbent cloth in the water, let-
ting the other end hang over the'
side..
Homes heated by stoves need
}rave no hurnidifying problems%
Just keep a kettle of water stand-
