The Clinton News Record, 1932-11-17, Page 8THURS., NOV. 17, 1932 Health, Cooking Care of Children; THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAIEIE 7 ASE of INTEREST, TO Edited By Lebarri Hakeber Krale i��s el RG�I ��i�aCaV - A Column Piepared Especially for Women-- But Not Forbidden to Men `The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your: thoughts;' therefore, guard accordingly, Marcus Aurelius, • The following recipe for a good housekeeper is copied from the Surry Cpak Book, gotten out by the Wo- men's Institute in that county of Old England, recently: "To make a housekeeper -in al] ' 'tropes. Take equal quantities of economy, industry, regularity and cleanliness; Iet them boil moderate= ly together in an old fashioned vessel called, a conscience. 'When cool add a little spirit of authority and good humour to your taste. Cleanse your vessel well before you put in your ingredients and dip rhe cover in a lit- tle essence of watchfulness which will prevent them, front separating If not clear put in a few grains of resolution, which will snake it bright. It will be fit for use in two or three years, and will keep a long -time and be better for age. Be very careful in following the -directions of this recipe and it will -never - fail." C�1L;a Barbara 'Brooks says: Rightly begun a battle is half won. This is especially true of a child's life, and a wise mother -will make every pos- sible effort to equip her child prop- erly and start his day right. Are the children starting the day 'completely refreshed after a good night's rest of ten or eleven hours, with plenty of fresh air while sleep- ing? The necessity of late of sleep will be realized if we remember that -the body builds while we rest. It is easy to tell when children have had enough rest for early to bed makes it -easy to rise, Next, did the children have time and appetite fora good substantial breakfast that will last them through the morning and give them clear, al- ert minds? Such a breakfast would include, first of all, fruit or fruit juice to awaken the appetite and -furnish vitamins and minerals. Next it would include cereal and milk for fuel with which to heat and nourish active young minds and bodies, and protein with which to build. Whole wheat toast or a little all -bran ad- ded to the cereal will supply rough- age so essential to keep body pro- cesses regulated, and clean and stim- ulate sluggish systems. Lastly, any child's meal is not complete without a glass of milk or cocoa, for milk is rich in protein and the minerals nec- essary for the proper formation of teeth and bones. If yours is a child with little de- sire to eat in the morning, try tempt, ing his appetite rather than coaxing it. Change his breakfast from day variety Of cereals, and eggs prepared• in several ways. The following resolutions are the first gild simplest of Beauty Rules and women who follow themare al- ways the women .who command at- tention for their charming looks. One of these women who is about seven- ty, and looks younger than many a woman young enough to be her dau- ghter, said when asked how she kept so young looking: "I just keep clean inside and Outside, think as nice thoughts as I can about my fellow men, do a good deed here and there, and add a little powder and the slightest tinge of rouge to my cheeks for good measure," Then, when she smiles at you with her wonderful smile, and you see the lovely dimple in the faint pink of her cheeks, and decide you will certainly keep your beauty resolutions all the rest of your Iife. Resolved; To eat my meals regu> larly, and to select the most whole- some and nutritious foods. To eat slowly, and as sparingly as my health and strength permit, Resolved: Tc get out-of-doors for a walk every day, even if for only ten minutes. To walk briskly, breathe deeply and stand cerrectly while I am taking this exercise, Resolved; To take n quick but thorough bath every day I can.

MILK We today have a better chance to live longer and to be healthy than had the people of any former time, We Icnow more about disease, and so. we are able either to prevent or to • cure many diseases which used to take a heavy tollof human lives. Better stili. we know a great deal more about how to keep our bodies healthy, so that we may be happier and more useful throughout our lives. We understand, for example, that a proper diet makes for good health. We know that eve must cons same substances if our bodies are to grow properly, and if our bones, teeth and 'other parts are to be strong. Wo have learned that the tack of these substances means loss of health and. perhaps, disease.: We know that these substances which are essential to health are found abundantly in certain foods, notably in milk and milk products. This is. 'why intelligent people use a Iarge quantity of milk in their diet. .Milk has been used by mankind for 'centuries. For a time, Mille was fear- ed by city dealers beeause 'it was 'often so dirty and adulterated as to •cauae a great deal of illness. The 1-pre$ent den.tury, through 'regular systems of inspection and pasteuri- zation, has seen provided safe milk supplies, and milk has taken its rightful place in the"diet of those who live in towns and cities as well as those who are country dwellers, The milk drinking habit is a sign of civilization. To drink milk is to make use of our knowledge concern- ing its value. Milk should be a re- gular part of the diet of both young and old. Milk is our most important single food. During the years of growth, the regular use of milk provides the child with a sufficient quantity of calcium • (lime) to build healthy, strong teeth and bones. Evenwhen growth is complete, we require milk for the nourishment of our bodies. The average netted, healthy per- son should eat a wide variety of foods. A varied diet ensures a suf- ficiency of the substances which alae essential to keep the body in a con- dition of health. Milk and milk pro- ducts contain many of these sub- stances, and so they should be used freely and regularly. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical A.s• sociation, 184 •College Street, Toren• to, will be answered personally by letter. AN UNUSUAL WARNING Mothers seem to have been warned' about every poanible ,thing that could happen to harm their bab- ies, but to -day we ;have seen quite a new one to us in the splendid health almanac issued by the Ontario 'DC7 partment of Health. It is a warn- ing against the careless use of tali cum powder, and reads as follows: Very few mothers have knowledge of the danger which exists in eon- nection with the use of infant dusi7 ing powders and yet:reeorde show that a considerable ,number of babies under two years of age have been poisoned lby accidentally inhaling it, The accident usually occurs as a result of the child grasping the bog of powder in such a way that it re- ceives a shower of powder in the face, covering the 'mouth and nose upon breathing, an amount of the powder sufficient to either partially or completely asphyxiate the child is inhaled. There have been also cases where an older child, having seen the mother powder the baby, attempts to ac, likewise with disastrous results. Then again there is a case 'en record where the mother was too liberal' with the powder when dusting, the in: fant's face, and as a result sufficient was inhaled to cause poisoning. The American Medical Association considered the matter of such impor- tance that a committee was appointed to investigate and recommend meang of safeguarding infants against the relenace. The committee succeeded in securing details of one hundred and thirty-one cases where babies had inhaled dusting powder in suffi- cient amount to cause trouble, in fact twenty-eight of them, were so ser- iously affected that they died, some living only an hour or two, while oth- ers succeeded in overcoming the smothering only to succumb to ac - cute broncho -pneumonia' within a few days. Powders which contain stearate of zinc are considered the more danger- ous, but we have no proof that those free from this ingredient are with- out danger. It is, therefore, evident that great care should be exercised not only in the powdering of infant's faces, but also in making sure that no talcum or dusting powder' is left within reach of infants or other small children. DIOCESE OF HURON TO CELEBRATE THIS WEEK; c=re=esi The week of November 13th to 20th is being celebrated by the Church of England of Huron Dio- cese, as the hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the Rev. Benjamin Cronyn in London, and the 75th an; niversary of his consecration f as Bishop of 1-luron. The celebration is of more than local interest. The (cling of Bishop Cronyn had re- sults which no one at the time could possibly have forseen and which even now are hard to estimate in their true proportion. Worn out with the fatigues of the overland journey by wagon from Quebec, where the party had landed, the travelers at length arrived near London, met a man who directed them tc "The Forks" where they found rest, for the week -end, at the Mansion House. Mi+. Cronyn conducted ' a service in the school- house next day, Sunday, Nov, 13th, 1832, which led to an invitation to remain permanently as the clergy man of the district, inet:ead of going to Adelaide, which had been his ori- ginal objective. Some two years later, September 4th, 1834, St. Paul's church, London, was first used. This first Anglican thumb in London, Ontario, was a wooden building with a square tower at the south end, the building beim- set north and south, end wax located somewhere near the present Cathedral, and at the time was one of the most conspicuous buildings in the growing community of London. It was burned down Ash Wednesday, 1834 and a new St. Paul's was opened for service Feb. ru't"y 184e. This second building with censiderable additions ante im- provements, 3s the present St. Paul's Cathedral; and it is fitting• thet the main celebrations connected with the anniversaries should be 'held there. The tines for the celebration of tate een''enary in Loncleu included special services in St. Paul', Cathedral on November 1.3th and 20th, Dean Car- lisle of ta:entree], being the :reacher en the 2nth. (en the Wednesday ev- erting. Nov, 16th, there was s Dineesan service in St. Paul's Cathe- dral to which representativeof th'I 'Mmmunity'1, the civil. julciiniel, and -elite-ter authorities, as well as re uresenta.tivee from. non-episcona) communions were invited. The Bishop of Huron has .el,sc issued a naatoral letter to the Diocese calling for special services in the churches nn the Sundays which mark the an- niversary. Successful Presbytery Ral- ly of Young W]Voren's A.uxi liaries, Mission Circles and. C. G. L T. Groups Held. in Seaforth ons Friday (Crowded out last week) A delightfully. arranged banquet and rally of the Mission Circles, Young Women's Auxiliaries and Can- adian Girli in Training Groups of Huron Presbyterial, was held in Northside United •Church, Seaforth, on Friday night. The supper which was in charge of the MacGillvray Young Women's Circle, was served to 250 guests, the talbies being decorat- ed with candles, 'mums, roses and HaIlowe'en decorations. A sing song was held between the courses. The speaker, Mrs. J. H. Rush, of Tillsonburg, secretary of the Domin- ion Board C, G. I. T., and Y. W, A. was welcomed by Mrs. Connor of Kippen, and Mrs. W. P. Lane, of Seaforth, the latter also very gracJ iously welcomed the Young People in the name of the Presbyterial of which she is president. Main Street Mission Circle, Exeter, contributed a quartet accompanied by string instru- ments which was greatly enjoyed. An interesting and informing confer- ence and question •bureau was ably codueted by Mrs. Rush who gave a number of helpful suggestions in re- gard to the problems Ines with by workers in connection with church organizations and the difficult world conditions ' existing at the present time. Speaking on giving site said, "God does not expect what you have not got, but so many are hiding be- hind the bugaboo of depression. There is a world of difference be- tween what is given and what is raised. If you have money to spend yon have money to give." North Street Church C.G.LT., God - Melt, gave a demonstration of a C. G.I.T. meeting, followed by a quar- tette, Mrs. Rush, who possesses rare ab- ility as a Worker with girls, princi- pally because of her ,vane interest in them, then told a striking story- as bout a worker in ivory wiio lived a- mong the mountains in Switzerland and prided himself on always striv- ing to make his carvings perfect and fit for the eyes of God. She made this the basis of a most inspiring ad- dress on living the Christian life. The One who lived the perfect life took thirty years to prepare' for three years' service but that life has changed the world, She appealed to the girls to make the Springtime of their lives in such a way a prepara- tion for a rich, nature and colorful Autumn. The speaker said it seemed to be the craze of our time to treat life as a joke and live on the surface of things. "Life is not a cup to be drained but a measure to be filled, It takes tinie and effort to make a beautiful life but it is worth while," she said. Mrs. Layton, of Exeter, and Miss Bayley, of •Goderleh,, conveyed the thanks of the meeting to Mrs. Rush for her inspirational address, and also to the Seaforth people for their hospitable entertainment. THE WOMEN'S "HAT TRICKS" W''hy is it that women cannot get a style of hat which satisfies them? This last year has been the most erratic the hat trade has ever known, At one time there were only two er three styles in women's hats a year. Nowadays they 'change al - meet as frequently as the weather, and there have been ten distinct hat fashions in the last twelve months The filet of these, the beret, is the only one which has survived for any ' length of time. T Last autumn the "Empress, Eug- + enie" suddenly became famous. Ev- T cry woman rushed to buy it. But within a few weeks it had become too T fashionable, so it was replaced by the bowler. This hat was supplanted a 0 few weeks later by the "Robin Hood." I Not one style lasted more than two 1 months, and in the meantime less popular styles came and went just as quickly. But how long will it: be before a new hat fashion is on the way? Family Herald. A OMEN il Household Economics THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing Y..

We meet today to honor those Who made the sacrifice supreme, Who suffered,. fought and died for us, Our threatened freedom to redeem. They sleep today in Flanders fields.

ANCIENT WISDOM Before he wanders in the wood Every little monkey should All the ancient wisdom gather From the wise old monkey father, Grey with forest years is he. He sits upon the Loobah tree And tells of times he used to know Long and long and long ago, When the nuts were twice as big, Like an orange every fig, And the milk •of cocoanuts Flowed through all the monkey huts, Monkey babies in the wood In those days were always good, And all little monkeys did What the monkey mother bid. But those times are very far And the modern monkeys are Fond of naughtiness and noise Just like human girls and boys. —Robin Plower, in "Poems and Translations." e=1C::=0 QUEST Through trails of azure mist I seek for you.

OF OLD I KNEW Of old I knew a magic place, A place of magic sweet and rare. Near was a mill, and o'er the race Swift swallows clove the summer's air. Near was a field where grasses stood So tall and straight we couldn't see Above their tasseled tops the wood Where grew the gypsy people's tree. Those wild and wicked gypsy men: We'd shudder at the awful sound Of our old nurse's warning, then Draw nearer the forbidden ground; Draw nearer 'neath a hedge of haws Around an ancient gallows hill, Through heath and golden gorse, tci pause At last and listen, very still, And very mute, behind a fir, For fear of things that might befall If we were seen and gypsies were Of wicked folk the worst of all. But only once a gypsy crossed The orbit .of our little lives— A bearded man, to whom was tossed Brower pence for grinding 'table knives. But no, we held he was a spy From out the camp within the weed; For, oh! he had a squinting eye, Such as a desp'rate viliian should: And there were rings upon the mead That ran down to the river's rim, And in those rings strange sights in- deed Were seen when all the lights were dine. Ah, but it was a lovely land, A land that smiled, yet said "Be- ware!" Beneath a great magician's -wand Things wonderful just happened there.
