FRIENDSHIP
' l lto may, not stand and take a 'blow,
And straight return the ,bniffeting,
Is worthy neither friend nor foe;
The king is dead? Long Iive the
king!
Who doth not proudly bear his scars,
Earned fairly in a goodly fray,
Despised by Erbs; scorned by Mars,
Fards low upon a lonely way.
And he who doth a friend despite,
In sudden heat by word of pen,
Nor owns that fault, though wrong
or right,
May find no place with gentle men.
Peace were a pretty thing, indeed,
Gay garlanded at a"banquet beard,
But serveth best the common need
When girded with the naked sword.
May I be shut from paradise,
Condemned by friend and foe alike,
When •reason to my heart denies
The grace to pardon—or to strike.
Who bears his shoulder to the stroke,
Doth some small courage there at-
test;
But he who does true praise evoke,
Will clench his hand—and bare his
• breast.
My heart to him that lustily
Shall take the blow and give as
good;
But damned be lean Hypocrisy,
With murder hidden in its blood.
And if we meet as foe and foe,
God knows 't will be a goodly fight,
And if we meet as friends—I know
That I shall be a happy Wight.

A woman writer in the New York
Telegram recently drew a contpar!-
• son between the loyalty .of men to
eaeh other in friendship and the re-
ser'ded and limited loyalty of women
to women. She seemed to think
that women never vouched the heights
in friendship to which men attain.
- To quote:
"Somehow we never quite
reach it. I do not know why.
Ire may he fond cf a woman.
lire may stand by her. We may
listen to her sorrows and TO'.
joke with her in her ,joys. But
there is an inner vane -fine of the
heart into which sire dyes not
go; a little door she cannot open,"
I wonder if that is ere, and if
women are incapable of true friend-
ship with women? Still, •one's mem,
cry goes back to the' devotion of
Ruth for Naomi. Surely that was
true friendship, although perhaps
m,incle•I with it was something of
filial love, for Naomi was the mother
of Ruth's Ioved and lost hushand. It
` is true that history does not furnish
so many instauees of friendship be-
tween women as it does of friendship
between men, And our own exper-
ience does not furnish ns SO many
examples, either, although. I have
known some fine ones, .too. I have,
indeed, a few friends of my own
whose friendship has been tried by
the years and has steed firm. We
may not meet often, but when we da
we ,just take up the thread where
it was laid down. It is never brole
en. It reaches from one heart to
anethet' and knits them together fol•
life. I think perhaps we have all
- had such friendships, and that
sometimes they have been sacrificed
to carelessness or allowed to die by
neglect.
Perhaps one of the reasons women
do not form the lasting friendships
men do is 'because when young, girls
are so impulsive. They give their
friendship to anyone who. comes a-
long and strikes their fancy for the
hour. They pour out their innermost
souls to this new friend, they feel
sure that nothing will ever, cone be -
tween them. Then, fickle fancy
changes, and they find their area
cooling and pick up with some new
`friend' •,and 'the experience is re-
peated Sometimes the confidences
given in these violent attachments
are betrayed .and the girl learns red !
tisence by slitter experience. Then,
just when she has Bonne to theage
whena true friendship 'might ,be,
formed she contracts • other ,chliga-'
tions, love comes her way, •a husabnd
and children fill her life and she has
no time for other interests far years,
perhaps. With men it is different,
Talk as you please, but a man leads
e much more independent life than
a woman. A man -can marry, rear a
fancily and be very loyal . to both
wife and children, and yet can carey
on at the sante time many other
interests. He •must, indeed. He mus)
carry on his business, his intercourse
with other men. A. bunch of men
can talk for hours on end without
ever mentioning either wife or family.
But get a group of women together
and see how long they can converse
without bringing in their families.
As is truly written: "Love is of man's
life a thing apart. 'Tis woman's
whole existence." Naturally, wo,
men's care of the family, the need
for oversight as to foal, health, man -
nevi and morals, mean that women
must have them in mind much more
than men. They have less time to
give toe others outside their own fam-
ily circle.
But a woman is fuoiish to ignore
the value of friendship, the most
satisfying relationship of life. even
for her family. The time will come
when her• family will go out from
her; they will form new bends and
•site will be left lonely. F'rienclalrlp
is so precious a thing that it is
worth cultivating And no truer
thing was ever said than that "if one
would have friends one must show
oneself friendly,"
One of the things I've always ad-
mired and marvelled at in men's
friendships is the naturalness of
them. Two men who are friends can
meet with the utmost casualness.
They melee no fuss, indeed, often pay
less attention to each other• than
they would to comparative strang-
ers. This may be one of the reasons
why they find it easier to maintain
friendships. Women, whert they
are fond of anyone and anyone is
fend of them, seen to want to be
told of it all tite time. This grows
tirescnte, except when "one is very
young."
Another thing which I have mar-
velled at is the way men will play
,jokes on their friends. 'Ilhey will
ridicule each other's weaknesses, call
attention to their mistakes, all in
the best of humor and received in the
same spirit. It is a risky thing to
ridicule a woman's weaknesses or to
Ball attention to her faults. The end
of a promising friendship is likely
co result.
Men and women are different, all
right, and the wise woman is she
who doesn't try to imitate men, ev-
en in their friendships. But that is
no reason why she shouldn't form
some friendships of her own, They
will suit hes' better than any formed
on masculine models. One of the re-
quisits of friendship, however, wheth-
er between men or women, is trust,
Trust your friend, do net be suspic-
ious of him or her. That is the one
sure way ofunderminingfriendship,.
And, as I said before, tfrimi.iship is
so precious a possession that it it

Day was celebrated this week the fol-
llowing from, the Chicago Herald is
of'interest: .
"What a queer, queer thing the Bri-
tish Empire is when` you come • to
think of it!
In ordinary times you would natur.
ally judge from the way Ireland and.
the dominions and colonies, talk .a=
bout GreatBritain that the poor old
country didn't'have.a friend on earth.
fln ordinary teles some part of
the British Eanpire lo.: always Iberat-'
ing the home government. ,. •
In times of peace,everybody feels
at liberty to assihne a possible re-
volution in India; separation of the
den1!inions, and all •sorts of other
disasterous things.
In times of peace, the L'lnupire ie
always more or Iess "doomed," ae-
darding to the statements of many
gloom -laden British subjects. ;.
But in tires' of war bow suddenly
things look up in that queer, queer
British Empire!
"I haven't a thing. to take back,"
says Ireland, "but under the circum-
stances kindly show me the enemy
as soon as possible. I want to get
at him."
"Yours tof recent 'date received,"
says Canada. "Am sending men as
fast as they can be got ready and
transportation secured:'
"Reserving for a more auspicious
time any hatred a part of our pope -
Mimi justifiably bears to England,"
says South Africa, "we are prepared
be do our utmost in the present war."
"Serious . local dissatisfaction ,will
arise, sahib, unless Indians are 'per-
mitted to give their lives for the hon;
crable empire, now that it is at war
with a foreign nation," says India.
It's everywhere, the same story. In
peace its "Confound your stupid.
unreasonable, fat -headed. doomed
arrogant soul!" Iu time of need it's
"Count on us to the limit!"
Which is why we say, that the
British Empire is a queer, queer in-
stitution,"
HE HAS KEPT FAITH WITH
BEAUTY
If I have erred, I Lord, in love and
pleasure,
Let this for all my failings make
amend,
"Whether at noon of toil or eve of
leisure
He kept high faith with Beauty
to the end."
He loved her not in clays of splendor
only
But 5n the grey of fobs, the dark
of rain;
In droning streets or woodlands wild
and. lonely
,Site never called his poet -heart in
vain.
The grey moth growing greyer in the
mc'nrray,
Tho brown bee growing browner in
the sun,
The strong bills burning amber in
the noonday,
Or vales at dusk—he., loved them
every one.
Croat God, when Thou most grieve
my wayward faring,
Let this one virtue all my sins de-
fend:
And may I hear Thy Vice at last de-
claring;

NATURAL FEEDING. sterilized. It is much easier to
Natural milk is beyond question the
best and safest food for the baby.
It is the first duty of every mother
to nurse her baby. There are very
few mothers who are unable to nurse
their babies as long as they are wil-
ling to do sb. The first year of life
is a different period for the new
baby. He must adjust himself to
new surroundings and new conditions
while at the sante time his body
grows very rapidly. During this per-
iod, he is entirely dependent for the
food he needs and the care ire re-
quires upon his mother.
The young mothers will find that
there are many women who are not
only willing but anxious to give ad-
vice. They will tell her that they
speak from experience and the young
Mother will find it difficult to ignore
what they have to say. She will be
confused by the contradictory ad-
vice they will offer to her. So it ie
that we warn her against these well-
meaning friends and suggest to her
that she inform herself from reliable
sources and be guided by what she
learns from such sources.
'Breast milk is best because it is
clean. pure and always at the right
temperature. It does net have to be
prepared and so there is no chance of
dirt gaining entrance into it. There
are no utensils to be cleaned and
nurse the baby than to prepare feed-
ings which require constant care to
make sure that the feeding will not
carry with it some harmful germs.
Both time and money are saved by
natural feeding, not to mention the
mother's peace of mind which is en-
sur'ed.
The mother's milk is specially suit-
ed for her baby. It is of the right
eonsisteney, it is readily digested
and it contains the food substances
which the baby requires. That these
statements are correct, is shown by
the fact that there is proportionately
much less sickness and fewer deaths
amongst naturally fed babies as com-
pared with these artificially fed.
One of the most'serious decisions
which a mother is called upon to
make is as to weaning her baby. So
often the reasons for weaning are
unreasonable or imaginary. The
mother• fears the baby is not doing
well and in urediately site jumps to
the Conclusion that the fault lies in
her milk. In almost every case she
is wrong. No mother should wean
her baby before the regular time,
unless necessary, and there will be
very few such cases.
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
