In fact, I' atm forced to the reline- tint conclusion that •a large number of 'women enjoy the martyr role, They'd rather be miserable than to leave a geed time, and they •go out of their way to hunt up something to do, so they can groan about it to friend husband, and outdo the stories of woe related by friends and neigh - lore, . Nowa marl[ me, I amt not denying that sonic women are actually Balled upon kr' do work beyond their •strength. There are all too many -of these. But side by side with them are women Who need not do half the things they are doing, And it is usually the class which makes all the fuss. The really over-worked woman steeps on grind- ing and says nothing. She hasn't time to complain. Just the other clay a case came up wh'ic'h shows how .some women over- do. It was in a farm home where the children are married and gone, and father and mother live on alone. Father has sensibly ee't the land, all but a garden patah,.ans takes things easy, to suit his years. Mother still thinks she must dig and delve from five in the morning until eight at night. This is what happened a short time ago. A married daughter, thinking to make mother's lot easier, eame home on Monday and cleaned the house from top to 'bottom, swept, dusted, scrubbed kitchen and cellar s't'airs, and left everything in apple pie order, On Wednesday, after a lapse of exactly twenty-four hours, mother repeated the operation. Not the slightest use of it, the house was clean. Of course this is an exceptional ease, and might be laid to the score of childishness in an old woman. But sad women are the natural result of their habits as younger women, Our old age is merely the outcome of all our previous years. If this woman had not 'always been doing unneces- eery things, she would not in her old age. Then there is a young woman, who is even marc foolish, She has not been well for weeks. Two months ago she -went to a physician who found a weak heart, •and not only ad- vised, but commanded rest. She came home. and started house clean- ing, carried mattresses clown stairs, beat rugs, washed woodwork and win- dows, all work too heavy for any wo- man but the strongest. Her plea was that if she should drop dead some day • she wanted to be found in 0 clean house. These things may seem rare and exceptional, but they are not so ex- ceptional as one would think,. Scores of women do unnecessary things every day, because "everybody does It.' Why dry dashes, when- scalding water is easy to get, and more sani- tary than towels? Why iron knit underwear, Turkish towels, face clothe, stockings? Yet countless women do it, and have to trudge back and forth to a hot stove after irons. Why pieta up after children, when they can' be trained to pick as as soon as they can toddle? How many women with good- sized girls and -boys -do every bit of their work, because they'd rather do it than be 'bothered teaching children? Or because they think the children ought to platy all the time? Why should a girl of twelve, or even of eight, do nothing but go to school and play? "'She should not -be made a drudge, she needs fun, and! plenty of it. But it wouldn't hurt her to dust the living -room, or clear the table, or dry the -silver. And she'd liilco noth- ing better than to be allowed to make a cake. If the -mother gains only ten minutes a -day in time, that would be worth while. Ten minutes' rest is better than 110 rest.. .In the matter of cooking, how many women snake slaves of themselves? !What; family needs two kinds of cookies, or cookies and doughnuts at one meal? And why cookies and cake end pie? The family health would be better for plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit and only one baked sweet, • And the mother would have less to. do. There is plenty for women with families to do, if they do ;only the necessary.

A War -Time Medical Board. Tlie workings of a Britieh medical board are humorously described by Capt.

A differ- ent door from the one you've had your eye on opens suddenly, and a hilarious combatant who has just •got another month's sick leave Is ejected. Behind bins you see the Cyclops—a medical major generally—who barks at you to come in. Inside you stand before an immense table covered with papers. Behind - the table sit two of the board. The' third member (there is generally a third) seems to have a sort of roving commission—lurking by the window or standing by the fire, ready, I eup- pose, to do anything from chucking you out to calling some one else in. You eland before the table. No one speaks, but the heaviesi member of the board looks through a folio of papers. The folio comprises your his- tory. The board read it and mutter to themselves; then, with an air of sus- picion, as if they did not believe for a moment that there hail ever been anything the matter with you, one of them tells you to take off your coat. (Business with Sam Browne bolt and tunic,) You now shyly, approach them from the rows o1 cloak hooks, where yeti have hung your trappings, minus dig- nity and rank, which, of course, you have left on the sleeves of your tunic. They've got you now, and they ]snow it, They ask you how you feel. You are Mesmerized into saying cheerfully, "Quite all right" One 0f them produces the Y-shaped silver -tube thing, and, fitting it to his ears, he iusinuates the loose end into the opening of your khaki shirt. A moment or two of this; then the board exchange mystic words, and finally start writing on blud paper. One of them looks up anis says, "That will do; you can put your coat on." You retire to the clothes melt and Put your tltnic on again. "• The board, suddenly: "Two months' ligbt duty!" It's over! You lntow,your fate, and to creep from the room is all that re- mains.

Since it Met burst upon the world it has ''eve• lutionized the trend of daily existence. It can surely be termed the moat 'pa- tent factor et the present day in the lives of tile thousands who witness films evoey weep, and Its powers of influence are unlimited. Its educe. tlos al value has been proven along many lines and as an instrument of propaganda it has proved it most of- festive medium in many phases of endeavor. One can estimate, for in- stance, the value of the film when ep• Plied to advertising a country's natur- al 'resources or furthering education along agricultural lines. The Ontario Motion Picture Bureau. The Ontario Motion Picture T3areau has developed rapidly since its organ. lzations and done much valuable work in advertising the province elsewhere, as well as carrying an energetic edu- cational campaign into :the rural dis- tricts within Its confines, At the end of 1919, the bureau had 200 excellent films covering 82 different subjects, which appeared daily to audiences throughout Ontario and in several foreign cities. Over 700,000 persons, mainly residents of rural districts, witnessed these projections during the past 12 months. This year, a prominent motion picture company employed by the Bureau has been re- leaeing two films per mouth, and these films circulate. in from 300 to 400 -Canadian theatres, Since the beginning of 1919 to the and of the year, seven films have been produced for the Department of Pub- lic -Highways, one,for the Department of Public Works, four for the Depart- ment of Lands, Forests and Mines, and. forty. for the Department of Agricul- ture. This accounted for a total of 1,988 projections. The Department of Agriculture utilized its • district repre- stentatives, numbering nearly fifty, In presenting pictures to audiences near- ly two thousand times, each repre- sentative being furnished with a com- plete motion picture equipment, Create Widespread Interest, The motion picture enterprise of the Ontario Government has proved an unqualified success, even though yet in a stage of initial development. Demand for flims comes from all guar. tars, distant provinces and the United States. Its films were used in United States military camps and in the Can. adian Khaki University overseas, Five portable Machines, with 28 reels, were employed in the Khaki Quiver. sity In Mistime, after the armistice. Valuable use of films was made at the various provincial fairs and ex- hibitions where huge audiences were, by their means, brought closely into contact with the most modern phases of agriculture, and demonstrations of helpful farm appliances were Pieter_ lead, In addition, films were sliown to mors than 250 organizations, farm- ers' clubs, wornen's institutes, dairy and horticultural associations, motor leagues, teachers' conventions, etc. Ontario, in this respect, has shown energy and enterprise and with re• sults that have caused her to continue and extend the propaganda. A Rebuff for the Queen. lu his entertaining book, "The Days Before Yesterday;' Lord Frederic Hamiltontells how his father once lent his Scotch house to Queen Vic- toria and the Prince Consort for ten' days. The children vacated their nurser - les In favor of the Royal children, and went to a tarns, where they had very cramped quarters. The change was deeply resented by the author's sec- ond brother, who refused to be placated. , So annoyed was he that when he and iris -sisters and brother, all dress- ed in kilts, were presented to her Majesty, his conduct was alarming. " 'And this, your Majesty, is my ,second boy. Make your best bow, my dear,' said my mother; but my broth- er, his heart still hot within him at being expelled from 515 nursery, in- stead of bowing stood on his head In his stilt, and remained like that, an accomplishment of which lie was very proud," The Queen was very angry, but when the Loy was brought back the next clay to make his apologies, he stood on his ]lead again. Sawdust Used as Food for Cattle. One remembers the classic experi- ment of tite man who tried, to reduce his horse, for economy's sake, to a diet of shavings. The unfortunate 011111151 died, • At the University of 'Wisconsin, how- ever, cows are being- successfully fad on sawdust, They grow fat on and their yield of mill[ and butter is an - diminished. The experimental work in this line has been doue by the Forest Products Laboratory of the United Stator For- est Service, located at Madison Wis.,.. and the feeding trials have been con- ducted in the dairy department of the university, As might well be imagined, the saw- dust is not fed to the cattle raw, It is drat put through a simple chemical process, by which its cellulose, or part thereof, ie converted !nth sugar, Saw, dust is not assimilable by the cow's digestive omens, but sugar is perfect- ly good food, The sawdust la treated for twenty minutes with a dilate solution et amt. pltilrle acid, under pressure in a re, tort, and thereby 20 per cant, of the cellulose of the Wood is tlau ol e d into linger.

There 1s really no certainty that we shall ever get back home irlive. The accident insurance companies, however, declare that home is really the most dangerous place lu the world. Twenty-five per cent. of all disabling accidents that happen to people are in- curred at home. One rerison for this doubtless is that n person when at borne is not on the lookout for danger of any kind. He deems himself perfectly safe, and so is liable to find himself in trouble. When he goes out, on the other hand, he is continually on guard for his own pro- tection. The accidents that may batten at ).route are astonishingly varier, A man may have his elbow jogged while shav- ing. Ile may tumble from a step- ladder while engaged in hanging a pier tura, He may tumble downstairs and hurt himself badly, or perhaps fall over n rug.

A roan of wealth and postion re- cently gained prominence In the news- paper headlines by giving a pig as a wedding: present. It was a good pig —Yong and wealthy, well-born, and showing oven in youth a peasant dis- position toward adiposity. Doubtless the bride was pleased, and not im- possibly she expressed tho pleasure with which she and her husband look- ed forward to having so dependable a source of breakfast bacon always at hand. It was really an excellent choice. The passing surprise, that 1t•occas- ioned shows the change in modern life and customs. Anyone who has the curiosity to study the history of the custom of giving wedding presents will find himself carried back to simple conditions and !Inst principles: the desire of parents to set a son or a daughter not empty-handed on the road to lite. The wedding gifts were the material things with which the young couple could begin their house. keeping.

The change Is owing to the very human desire of donors to give something durable: something that will ussociate them permanently with their gift; but unless tbey are blessed with good. taste the result is not al- ways so satisfactory as they suppose., .
