Well, perhaps not doing the sante wort:. In fact I'nm quite willing to agree that the work of -nen and women may differ very - rnuch. It is bound to differ, because the important role of bearing and reeving children at once sets women apart to some extent. But that need not debar women from taking an in- terest in many things which for ages they did not even attempt to under- stand. Because woman is the moth- er of the race should not debar her from its counsels. It is all the more important that she should have her placie there. However, I did not start out to say just this, As a matter of fact I was going to read my sister women nice little lecture on how to stake home happy by looking after the in- ner needs of husband and family. • Then in quoting from Solomon any mind flew back to the early history of the Tsraelitish people and my firm conviction that had they followed the readings of Jehovah as they aright have done the history of the human race would have been a very differ- ent thing from what it has been. What set me thinking of these things was a news note which caught my eye. Dr. W. A. Maier 'of Coneor- dia'Senminary, St. Louis, the other day expressed the' opinion that ""wives •who can prepare spinach 'so that the virtue of iron is not ,neutralized by the vice of sand,"-had,;•no fear'' of the divorce courts and declared that there is an "invisible connection" be- tween good cooking' and marital con. tentment. Now, I do not know Dr. Maier nor do I know that he has any special knowledge of this natter of which he speaks, although, probably he hao or why should he be asked to address a body ,of college students? And while we Canadians do not talk so glibly of divorce, still what he says sounds so commonsense, that it ' ap- peals to me and I feel sure will ap peal to my readers. The feeding of a family, when you think what it implies, the health and growing strength of young children and the continued life and health of adults, id a most important, one of the most important, occupations in which one Could engage. I have nev- er been able to see just why some women should despise the task of "cocking." It is hard work, of course, if one has a lot to cook for. But it certainly is not one of the unimport- ant tasks of life. Adequate, well-balanced meals, served in pleasant surroundings. mean good health to the family and a cbeerfull outlook on life. The hus- band and father in such a hone is better able to cope with his job, whether it be in field, factory or of- fice; and children going from such a home are much more likely to ex- cel in school and in business than those who are under-nerished. Feed- ing a family successfully and turn- ing crit a family of healthy young sters and a contented husband who is ready to meet all emergencies, is a job which no woman need bo ash- amed of, putting it alongside any- body's "-creed' c_7t� TIPS TO HOUSEWIVES Clean clouded plate glass with al- cohol.

It is only recently, ,however, that we 'have conte to undenstandesomethirig •of its cause and treatment,' Diabetes is a metabolic disease, which means that it is the result of a disturbance of metabolism or the process by which our bodies extract • from the food we eat and the air we breathe the substances required for the repair of tissues and energy. It is known that this particular •disturban'e is the result of injury to • certain penis •cf the panrceas (sweet "'breads). One of the functions of the "pancreas is to secrete a substance -called insulin, Insulin allows the —body tiss'nes to use o sugar (glu- cose) int' which all the sugars and starches which we eat arc converted "by digestion, It is essential that '-the body tissues le able to use this —sugar, as it is such an important 'energy food. In diabetes there is a lack of in- sulin. The .tissues lot the body de- 'hland sugar for energy, yet, be - :cease of•the lack of insulin, they are • -unable to take and use the sugar from the blood 'stream. The result is that the blood becomes overloaded with sugar Which is passed off in the Urine. • One of'the. tests for die - "hetes i3 the presence of sugar in the. urine. ' Lack of insulin is the direct cause of diabetes. A predisposing factor favors the •changes in the nan erfias, which in turn cause diabetes. "is 'overweight. The continued use of • -more food 'than '"the h5dy requires, the usual cause of overweight, places an undue strain upon the pancreas; injury to that organ may follow, and diabetes develop. The discovery, in 1921, 'of a method svhereby insulin . could be obtained from the pancreas of animals pro- vided a melt valuable aid in the treatment of diabetes, Insulin is not,. or was it ever claimed' to be, a cure for diabetes. With the aid of insulin the diabetic can be properly nourished and it may be said that in diabetic should die 'cf diabetes.

PREPARING PULLETS FOR THE LAYING CONTESTS (Experimental Farms Note.) It is most important that pullets intended for Egg Laying Contests should be of good parentage. Many and varied are the factors which go to make up what might be called good parentage, but the outstanding ones in this particular instance are constitutional vigour, fecundity and normal size for the breed. The Problem of breeding high producing birds is a most intricate one, and what appears to be an excellent mat- ing may not produce the desired re- sults. The cautious breeder always uses tried and proven orales mated to females of good breeding which are capable of producing chicles that will live and grow to maturity in normal time, and if a test can be se- cured on the fecundity of the daugh- ters of •such stating $o nuich the better. Factors other than heridity may affect egg production. Two of the most common drawbacks in the se- curing of egg production from well bred pullets are lack of freedom from disease or parasitic infection and improper feeding. There is an abundance of evidence availalbo from the Egg Laying Con - testi conducted at the Experimental Farm at Ottawa. and at the various Branch Farms throughout the Dom- inion to convince everyone connected with the wok that it is useless to attempt to get high egg production from birds which are hosts for either disease or parasitic infection even though the birds ate from good Par- entage and well fed from the time of hatching until the Contest com- mences. The Registration Tnspectom has no doubt advised every br'eecle working mule' the Registration. Pal - icy to rear all chicks on clean ground each year. and if you have not done, so up until the present and have been fortunate enough to have escaped trouble, next spring would be a op- portune time to start reaming chicks on clean ground. Copy the example already in operatioh on all well tea gulated poultry farms. Parasites of any kind are much more easily handled by the rotation of the lean- ing ground than by any other known pian, and the practice - is within the reach in almost every poultryman Proper feeding is a gigantic under 'akinee end while it is not difficult to rear chickens to the laying stage it is Quite another mattes to raise them pr'opprly.. Pullets intended fon the l?Irg Laving Contest should be hatched at the proper time so that they will develop normally and be ready to commence laving toward 'he latter part of October or early it Novens"si. It is most important: that the millet be well horn, that she hr reared normally; and mint forced to Frew to attain sive in ton Short a time. or on the other hand that s1i" be held back when she comes to the laving' period.

A very good opportunity of obtaining knowledge in this depart- ment is afforded by the Temperance Study •course which is sponsored by, the WiC.T,U, and the O,R.E.C. This Course is entering upon its fifth campaign which begins in our Sunday 5i:hools on Oct. 9th, continuing each Sunday until. Nov. 6th inclusive; There are five lessons in this course and are•for two grades. The lessons are published in pain• pillets and can be had from the cant- paign office, Box 3010, Montreal, The price is five cents a copy; twenty five cents per dozen or one dollar: and seventy-five cents per hundred. They are also published in the fol- lowing Sunday School papers. The Playmate (For junior Grade),' The Canadian Girl and Boy, the Challenge Young Canada, The Canadian Baptist and the Northern Messenger. It is earnestly hoped that the young people in our • Sunday Schools will not only study these papers but that they write upon the examina- tion at the close as well. The Na- tional and Provincial W.C,T.U. are giving substantial prizes, while many County organizations, of which Hu- ron is one, are giving a beautiful bronze shield to the Sunday School, obtaining the highest percentage of its enrolment writing upon the ex- amination. .Many of the local mmione are also giving prizes. Superintendents and teachers of Sunday Schools, parents and others interested in Temperance Education are urged to co-operate with those organizations which are seeking in this way to bring haute to our young people the facts concerning alcoholic beverages,—Sincerely yours, Jean S Murray, Prov, Sept. of Temp. in S. Ss, THE BAD LOSER A great detriment to the fall fair is the kicking, squealing, bawling bad loser. It may be that an inter- esting class of horses Inas been Iined up, the 'spectators have been interest- ed, have admired animals that met favor in their eyes and the judge has done leis work. Then tete bright col- ored ribbons emblematic of autsand- ing excellence are being handed as round and hung up. Then suddenly the air is split with the doleful how' of the bad loser ns he expresses his indignatiem, wrath and disappoint• moat. He embarrasses the officiate of the show. He makes things un- pleasant for everybody else, and their are seldom any visible indications that he is getting any real genuine pleasure out of the spectacle of sel- fishness, lack of courage, bad breed- ing and ignorance that he is making of himseif. "Remember that there are always two exhibits at the shod," said. a veteran exhibitor to a young man once "One may be your horse, but the other one is yourself. You nth on exhibition, as web as your ani- mal, so just keep in mind what sort of a show you are making out on yourself for the spectators at the ringside. You wouldn't want to make your horse act and look like a crazy, bad temper'ed'fool. Well, ,you ought to think elf yoer'self'as you do of your home," At the fairs and exhibitions, ,you can neve,. tell when one of these bad losers will eomnience one of these pitiable peeforhnnances, Of course he is looking nor sympathy. It's just the way he looked for It, and got it. when lie was a spoiled boy, and when he ought to have gotten something else instead, and didn't. We have always believed in exalting that quaL sty which we call humanity. We be - Neve in kindness and forbearance to all things and to all men, more es- pecially to little cbidren, Punishing them seems torus to savor of bullying end brutality. But if there is one thing. on this earth that conjures ur before our mind's eye a vivid picture of a rod in too perfect a state of pre- servation and a well and truly spoiled and ruinned child. it is the exhibitior made of himself by the bad loser. —Listowel Standard.

"SHOOTING UP THE TOWN" Captain i\iollison, after being driv- en around New York under police escort, with siren screaming and in disregard of speed limits and red lights, all traffic having to scurry out of the way, remarked: "This is new to me. In England even the Bing obeys the law." In cities in the Unitech States they do this kind of thing in the belief that it must delight a visitor to be rushed headlong across and about the city in disregard of everybody's rights but his own. It must flatter his vanity and gratify his sense of impedance. But does it? The im- pression made on any visitor from Great Britain must be the same as on Capt. Mollison. The Star protest- ed when in this city Lord Jellicoe was rushed about the place in this manner, much, we believe, to his surprise and dismay. How anybody could have imagined that ine would like it is difficult to understand. It is one of those American practices which should not be introduced stere and in cities rn'coss the border there are increasing protests against it. It is possible to entertain a visitor without "shooting up the town." —Toronto Daily Star. Interesting Finance Editor Duncan of the Wiartan Canadian Echo says; I was in the bank this morning.
