DIFFICULT ADJUSTMENTS
In these rapidly changing times the ability to adjust oneself to new
conditions of primary importance. Yet there are many whose whole
program of life is based on submission to ordered routine, without which
ritual they simply cannot function efficiently. To their friends of dif
ferent temperament, such careful souls seem to put an immense amount
of emphasis on seemingly unimportant details, and this makes them a bit
. boring, and sometimes not easy to live with. Nevertheless they give
backbone and stability to society and establish standards which make tor
smooth and tidy functioning. It is they who attend to the vast amount
of detail and keep the wheels of life turning without friction. Not likely
to be carried away by imagination, they are realists, dependable, faith
ful and responsible, holding to their accepted standards through thick
und tMiu So tb-BSO conLpctciit folk who huv# accomplished so much, in
their own precise way should command a large measure of consideration
in their efforts to bring themselves into harmony with the bewildering
conditions with which we are now confronted.

MEDICINAL PLANTS
1. Every mixed bouquet should
contain both pale and deep tones to
give contrast.
2. All flower decorations should
be simple.
3. The vase should always be less
conspicuous than the flowers, sub
dued in color and plain in lines.
4. Gut flowers to use for decora
tions in the morning, before 10
o’clock. There is more sap in the
stems then.
5. Use a sharp knife to cut flow

much.

The war is making it increasing
ly difficult to procure drugs, so
many of which came from coun
tries now in enemy hands. It is more
than possible that the old-fashion
ed drugs, known to our grandmoth
ers, may come into their own again.
Many common herbs were
household remedies, and
chemistry has proved them
been correct treatment. In
the hips of roses have always been
used for invalid food—now we read
that they are being harvested in
great quantities for one of the im
portant vitamins which they con
tain in fabulous amounts. Wild
camomile, or may-weed, familiar to
most of us on account of its un
pleasant smell, is used for poultices
and tea. Wood sorrel, that clover
like plant with yellow flowers, pro
duces oxalic acid. Jimson weed
or stramonium, a strong-growing
plant with handsome bell-shaped
flowers, produces a remedy for
asthma and heaves in horses. Yar
row, mallow and shepherd’s purse
have peculiar healing properties.
The creeping nightshade with leaves
like the potato and beautiful red
and green berries, is used to make
atrophin to dilate the eye.
talis, so commonly used as a heart
stimulant, is found in the fox-glove,
and elecampagn has been used as a
medicine for two thousand years.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine,
mentioned it. No one can estimate
the healing qualities that lie still
undiscovered.

FOOT NOTES
If you have been on your feet a
lot “doing your bit’’ take this tip to
reliev those poor tired feet of
fatigue. Soak your feet for at least
fifteen minutes in a basin to which j
has been added two tablespoons of
Epsom Salts. (There is a cheap
bourse quality sold at all drug stores
for this purpose). After this soak
ing, take a fresh bhsin of water and
make a good lather of soapsuds.
Plunge your feet into this and scrub
them well with a brush dr very
coarse towel.
Dry thoroughly and massage well
with bold cream—or foot lotion, if
you have it. Wipe off excess cream
and rub a piece of ice over your
feet until they tingle, After a rest
of fifteen minutes, life will look a
let brighter and so ‘Will you—for
you probably won’t know that you
have feet,
able, and
they will be so comfort-
that is as it should be.

is the worst vegetablePoison ivy
poison in North America and con
tact with any part of the plant,
roots, stem, leaves arid flowers may
bring acute suffering. Its leaves
are* in- bloom from April to June,
and, although they are inconspic
uous, they might attract children.
Many remedies have been suggest
ed to allay the burning and irrita
tion caused by the plant, but one of
the simplest is immediate washing of
the parts affected with good strong
yellow laundry soap. It is said that
the jewel-weed (of semi-transpar
ent stem and yellow blossoms, some
times called “touch-me-not) which
usually grows in the same locality,
gives immediate relief if crushed
and applied as a poultice.

When the Huron Plowing Match
Committee looked around for some
one to head the billeting committee,
their glance rested on the rotund
figure of Ross McGregor, well-known
Hulle'tt farmer, who so /perfectly per
sonifies “mine host.”
Mr. McGregor, however, is faced
with a bigger problem than that of
welcoming the thousands who will
attend the International Plowing
Match which comes to Huron on
October 13, 14, 15 and 16. To him
and his committee falls the task of
finding six hundred homes within
the immediate site of the match that
will accommodate visitors for the
week. It is a big job.—that of See
ing that International visitors- .have
a bed upon which they can lie when
their day’s work is done—but the
manner in which the committee is
approaching its job and the ready
response of the people in the dis
trict assures every International
visitor a home away from home
while he or she is a guest in Huron.
With Ross McGregor on the com
mittee are Frank Fingiand, K.C.,
Clinton; Wilbur JoWett, Hullett; M.
A. Reid, Seaforth, and Ross Scott,
Brucefield. They will be responsible
for allocating the thousands of visi
tors requiring accommodation to

The recent announcement by the

machinery at all fairs, exhibitions
and plowing matches will give the
directors an excellent opportunity to
assist farmers of Ontario at the In

County this fall. With new mach

machinery becoming so important,
the educational aspects of the Inter
national Plowing Match will be in
creased a great deal when the event
is held in Hullett Township on Oc
