A Column Prepared Especially for Women --
But Not Forbidden to Men
MOODY MARCH
I never was too much in lave With
March,
Such a blrnstering :fellow!
He promises such a spring -time sur-
prise, ,
'Then gives us sharp winds and dry
dust in our eyes—
. 'BO we must not forget that he also
supplies
The primroses' yellow.
'I never could care very much for
March.
He's rough and lie's rude;
'No respecter of places or persons is
he,
He hustles us on with a harsh, noisy
glee— .
-But he'll: coax out the blossiim on
each almond -tree
When he's in a good 'mood.
I never was one to have much faith
in March.
His kindness will waver;
-.lie's fearful of ,smiling toe long on
us, SO
He varies his sunshine with doses of
snow--
' Still, I'm bound to admit that his
'daffodils grow
And that's in his favor:
'I never ani quite taken in by March.
I never believe hum;
He's spring in the morning and win-
ter at night;
Flt's a tease in the garden and then
a delight—
But still, as his bark is much worse
than his bite,
I'm glad to receive hint.
—I. S. in London Answers.
„ If the "rising generation" does
not produce a better brand of citizen
than the ones immediately preceding
it I'nm not afraid to say that there's
a lot of energy being wasted on its
training.
Children used to be fed and cloth-
ed, put to bed 'and made to arise in
the morning, sent to school and Sun-
-day school and allowed a summer
picnic and, perhaps, a winter party,
That would he about the extent of
-their dissipations, and as for anyone
imagining that children had au in-
dividuality to be expressed or any
right to develop their personalities,
such a thing was unheard of. "Chil-
dren should be seen but not heard,"
was the rule followed in most well -
regulated homes and boys and girls
were not supposed to speak unless
spoken to and if they did speak up
before company they were soon re-
pressed. No wonder many developed
an inferiority complex whioh handi-
capped them all their lives.
But now that is all ehanged. The
• pendulum has swung to the other
extreme and now it Is the children
who do most of the talking, company
or no company, and the opinions of
the parents are scarcely heard in
` the affairs of the family.
Somewhere between these. two ex-
tremes, I make no doubt, the 'ideal
might be found where a perfect bal-
• ance might be struck and both par-
ents and children would benefit. But
while that ideal is not' yet discovered
there is no doubt at all that the
children of the present clay are
'trained to bring out whatever talent
-they may possess and are not afraid
-'to express themselves.
I 11•1111110.1.4114161y
This fact is always borne in upon
one by attendance at any entertain-
ment given by school pupils, such as
the Public School concerts put on in
Clinton last week. The littlest child
can go through his or her "stunt"
without thought of stage fright or
undue nervousness at all. That is
the reason I feel that the rising gen,
eration of children should, as they
grow older, be able to take •their
places in life with an assurance and
a feeling of preparedness which their
fathers and mothers, unless in isolat-
ed cases of great natural self-assur-
ance, never acquired.
To realize in one's self that one is
equal to the task set, and to go at
that task with steady nerves and a
feeling that in the end, no matter
how hard -the task may prove to be,
one cannot but accomplish it, must
surely give one a great strength in
the work and a joy, perhaps, alto.)
gether unknown to the more timid
Worker.
And if that balance were struck,
where a child could be taught to car-
ry through its work with absolute un -
self consciousness, this attitude might
be attained and held, right through
life. Then what could we not accom-
plish?
REBEKAH.
WHAT HALTS DISARMAMENT?
It is a distressing feature of the
present international situation that
the disarmament conference threat-
ens to become a failure because the
civilized nations are so involved hi
the manufacture of arms and ani -
munition that they cannot bring
themselves to forego the profit to be
made out of war. This has been
brought out 'pretty strongly in the
accounts of the conference sent out
from Genova.
It is of special interest, too,.te re-
member that it is through one of
the more modern developments of
our civilization that such mordant
influence has been made possible.
That is through the creation of lim-
ited liability corporations. These, as
we have pointed out, and net simple
capitalism, are the bane of our time.
They have no conscience and no
physical embodiment capable of
punishment. Nothing more sinister
can be imagined than one of these
conscienceless monsters egging one
great nation against another to war,
so that it can reap the harvest of
their folly-.
The shareholders feel no respon-
sibility for the company to which
they belong. The widows and or-
phans when% property is invested in
such scheme are the pretext for
preserving their "interest" intact,
They tbecnme so powerful by their
wealth and influence that nothing
can be done to them and they go on
their way supplying death -dealing
weapons to the world, the greater
the war the greater the profit.
In all our commercial depression,
it is said the armament corpora-
tions alone have mnrntaine(1 their
profits, and it is stated that :one
aviation company than manufactures
war -planes and that has paid 7 per
'Cent dividend, recently increased this
to 10 per cent. Geneva therefore
finds it difficult and perhaps impos-
sible to bring about a reduction of
armaments among .the nations..

Cheese Dishes are Good to Serve During
Lent
(By Barbara B. Brooks) in the warmth. of the cooked onions.
Please do not let the title of this i mat a savory dish to serve on crisp
toast points.It is well to. say hero
that cheese should always be cooked
by a low temperature. A high tem-
perature toughens it and makes it
less digestible and less palatable.
The combination of macaroni,
spaghetti or rice and cheese may be
substittited for both meat and pota-
toes.
article imply to you that cheese
dishes are good only during•Lent for
that certainly is not true. Cheese
dishes are good at any time but
they are especially appropriate dur-
ing the forty days of pre -Easter eat-
ing because they are effective meat
substitutes. Of course eggs and fish
are also substitutes, but they are not
as versatile as cheese, the uses of
which have been so exploited that it
now fits comfortably into any course'
of the meal.
For the beginning of the neat
cheese may be used in tantalizing
little canapes, in cheese Sticks or
cheese biscuits. It may even .be in
the soup! A clear consomme served
with cubes of cheese is delicious. The
warmth of the liquid softens the
cheese into its creamiest -and nicest
form. Grated cheese is the ideal ac-
cessory for onion soup.
Onion and Cheese Soup
3 small otj (sliced), 2 table-
spoons fat, 2i, 4 t1, espoons flour, 1%
pints hot sto-a teaspoon salt, 1-8
teaspoon pepper, 6 rounds of butter-
ed toast, 2 tablespoons grated cheese
;Brown the onion in the fat; add
flour and cook 1 minute. Pour on
stack, add salt and pepper, cook 10
minutes. Place a round of toast in
the bottom of each soup plate and
=sour the soup over it. Sprinkle the
cheese over the top and serve very
hot.
For the main course there are the
two rarebits, plain and tomato. Then
there is a glorified rarebit made with
Bermuda onions. The onions are
cooked in very little water and the
cheese is added and allowed to melt
Cheese Cake
1-4 cup butter, 3-4 cup sugar, 5
egg yolks, 2 teaspoons lepton juice,
I teaspoon grated lemon rind, 1
pound cottage cheese,, 3-4 cup flour,
1-2 cup creams, 3 egg whites. • (Half
these quantities can be used if neces-
sary for a small family. -
Cream the butter and add the sug-
ar. When thoroughly mixed add the
egg yolks, beating in each yolk sep-
arately. Add the lemon juice and
rind. Press the cottage cheese
through a fine sieve and mix with the
flour and cream. Combine the two
mixtures. Fold in the beaten egg
whites. Press corn flake pastry in
the bottom of a spring form mold.
Pour in the cake mixture and bake
in slow oven (325 edg. F.) until firma
to the touch (about an hour). Yield:
1 large carte.
Corn Flake Pastry
1 cup corn flake crumbs, 1-4 cup
butter, 1-4 cup sugar.
Put the corn flakes through a food
grinder using the fine cutter, then
sift the crumbs. Measure crumbs
after sifting. Creams the butter with
the sugar and add the crumbs, knead-
ing thoroughly. Press into the bot-
tom of a spring form hold. (4 cups
of corn flakes will make 1 cup of
crumbs.

Awaiting the Touch of
Spring Sunshine
The fat, bright-eyed chipminks are
gone from the fences. The wood-
chucks, that concentrated on corpul-
ence till frost came, no more sit up
hi the dun pastures, though in trees
the squirrels still scamper, knowing
that they have full pantries (often
containing such dainties as mush-
rooms
ushrooms and truffles), and that, should
the weather grow intolerable, they
can curl their tails over their noses
and sleep it out in leafy hollow or
underground nest. The jumping
mouse. too, will lace himself into his
tail and forget an inhospitable world
till spring, while in dens at the roots
of trees, under logs or in caves the
bears have retired until the woods
shall be fail of food again and a
mother may safely load forth the ab-
surdly small tubs which have been
born while blizzards howled. The
skunk sleeps, but is likely to emerge
for airings. It seems a splendid way
to pass a trying winter.

CANADA ROLLING BACK
THE SPORTSMAN'S MAP
Canada is rolling back the .sports-
man's map and continually offering
new and untried hunting and fishing
areas to Canadian sportsmen and
their visiting brethren, said Alan N.
Longstaff, Press Representative of
the Canadian Notional Railways, ad-
dressing the members of the Mon-
treal Chapter, American Association
for Steel Treating. Throughout the
northern sections of the Canadian
provinces are wonderful sports ter-
ritories which 'have been seldom vis-
ited by white men. Many of these
areas are now being made available
for hunters and anglers, and guides
and outfitters are being encouraged
to establish camps' at suitable lega-
tions to take care of visitors, Air-
plane service from such points as

Branch has provided new sport by
planting speckled trout in glacial
lakes where no fish of any kind pre-

of from six to seven pounds in weight
in suhh numbers in the llfaligne •and
in such numbers in the 1Nlaligne River
Jasper National Park that fishing in
these waters has-been opened to the
public from June 1st of this year
with generous daily bag allowonces
to the sportsman.
Canada's policy of 'setting aside
National Parks as game sanctuaries
has assured 'a plentiful supply of
both game and fish for the sports)
man and in the hunting areas both
north and south of Jasper National
Park hunters find a greater number
of big game 'animals than ever be-
fore, due to the constant overflow of
animals from the breeding areas
within the Park boundaries.

Chautauqua a Success
The third annual Canadian Chau-
tauqua programs were held in Pea-
cock's hall, Jarvis last Weelc with
the hall filled to capacity for
each program and the last evening
some were unable to gain admission
and in every way this year's Chau-
tauqua proved a great success.
Judging from the amount of ap-
plauding,.and cheering at each enter-
tainment proved very clearly that the
programs were well received and
very much enjoyed by all present
which is very encouraging to the
committee of twenty-three local men,
who helped to make this Chautauqua
possible. The financial end of the
undertaking was . also very encourag-
ing to the committee, going over the
top this year and leaving a nice sum
of money in the treasury to help
carry on next year's Chautauqua.
Then another thing that should be
mentioned at this time which is also
very encouraging to the committee
and to many people in this village
and coinmunity who proved so loyal
and faithful in supporting and at-
tending these entertainments and
may also be of some interest to
some who were not in sympathy in
bringing the Chautauqua to our vil-
lage is to know that the manage-
ment committee have figures to show
that the Chautauqua this year was
the means of leaving $130 with the
people of Jarvis or in other words 26
per cent of the contract money was
left in our village, something worth
while for us to think about.

STOP AND TIIINK
health is a precious possession, but
it is one which most people do not
appreciate until they are threatened
with its loss. We seldom consider
just how much good health means to
us. We rather take good health for
granted, and seldom make any teal
effort to improve it or to keep it
until we are faced with losing it.
It is not desirable to spend all nue
time thinking about health. We know
what a nuisance the health crank is,
and how irritating is the person who
always wants to tell us about his
paints and aches. It is, however, eq-
ually foolish to ignore health entirely
and to disregard symptoms of abhor,
mal conditions of the body.
What the should strive for is the
happy medium which avoids extreme.
Health should receive a reasonable
amount of attention and consideration
Without becoming food 'faddists, it is
well for tis to put into practice cet•-
tale principals with regard to what
we eat.
We are practically unaware of our
body functions as long as they go
on normally. We should realize,
therefore, that when discomfort is
felt or where there are signs of un-
usual occurrences, while there is nc
need for alarm, still it is foolish to
disregard them. The body has con-
siderable reserve strength and abil-
ity to adjust itself to changing condit-
ions, but it is a mistake to call upon
reserve unless this is necessary., It
is much better to help than ex`liaust
nature.
It is am -prising bow many people
will go on, day after day, ignoring
conditions which clearly indicate that
there is something wrong, that nature
requires assistance. Persistent coughs
are overlooked, progressive lose of
weight is not given attention, un.
usual fatigue is not investigated
and thus it is that many cases first
present themselves to their doctor
with a well advanced tuboreulosis.
There is always some cause for
what is called indigestion. If this
persists or recurs, it means that
whatever condition is responsible con
times to be present. Lumps do not
occur in the uor'mal female breast;
unusual discharges du not come from
the normal body; ordinary sores heal
and do not break down again.
It is because such happenings as
these do not receive prompt attention
that cancer is allowed to develop be-
yond the stage at which it can be
cured. While they are not always
signs of cancer, still the patient can-
not tell whether they are or not.
There is only one safe way to act,
and that is to find out from the
doctor in every ease, .what is the true
nature of the condition.
Reasonable Attention is required
if health is to be preserved. I'f
treatment is to be secured when it
can do the most good, attention must
be given to any signs or symptoms of
abnormal conditions.
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter.
