Whatever women may wish to do -during the rest of the year most housewives are very glad to spend the greater part of their time in their homes when the Christmas season cones around. They like to bake up Christmas sweetmeats, for, no matter how proficient profession- al bakers may be, many housekeep- ers feel that they can excel them "i when it comes to holiday baking, • and especially those who have chil- dren at school or in business in dis- tant places who will be home for the festive holiday, always want to have things baked and cooked which the homecoming ones will enjoy. And how these homecoming ones do enjoy the things Mother makes, Half the fun of coming home to these healthy youngsters is in the • enjoyment of the home meals. So it is really very well worth M'other's while to spend some time, to go to a goad deal of trouble, to provide the good things which the bay or girl, who new only spend the holidays at home, will like and appreciate. It isnot very long at best that the boy and girl is free to come home, ce=e Some people seem to think it is too much trouble to decorate for Christmas. The evergreens drop sq soon and keep the house so • mussy; the shaded lights are not useful; it is such a bother putting up wreaths and streamers and bells, just for al day or so, Well, do it a bit earlier and leave them up until after New Years. A bit of festivity in midi winter is a good thing, and as for a bit of muss, why the look of joy in a young face at sight of Christmas decorations is payment enough for a lot of trouble. Parents, even the poorest of parents, can give their children a priceless legacy, if they will take the trouble, that is the memory of a happy childhood, a 'hap- py home life. It is a memory which lasts to the end of life and is some- thing which no wealth could buy front those who possess it. Make the children happy at 'Christmas.

It is better to have We know now that the heart is not the centre of the emotions and that ' it does not control the effeetions al though we retain the language of the times when such beliefs were held. We know that the heart is one of ' the essential organs of the body and that, throughout life, it is responsible for keeping the blood in circulation. The heart is a remarkably strong organ which pumps continuously, -resting only 'during the short periods when it relaxes between beats. Hearts may become .damaged and. may wear out before their. time. The damage usually results from injury ear abuse.

There are also chronic or focal in- fections which damage the heart. In- fections in the teeth, the tonsils, the ' head sinuses or some other part of the body may be responsible for heart disease. The time to remove such in- feetions is before they have had time to do harm. Delay may mean dis- aster. The heart has a large reserve, and is able to meet any reasonable de- mand made upon it, but if it is sub- jected to some sudden and severe physical strain, then damage may re- sult. A continued extra burden is placed upon the heart of the person who is dyer weigth. To keep the heart healthy, infect - tions of all kinds should be avoided and .properly treated as, serious con- ditions if they occur; sudden, severe physical strains should net be et - tempted, and the body weight should be kept at'a'normal figure.

BEING A VEGETABLE, IT TS NOT A FRUIT The tomato, of which large quan- ,tities are now imported during the winter season direct from Bermuda and the Bahamas . and ether :islands of the British West Indies to ,Can- ada; is a native of the western hem- isphere and it is 'believed the name is. derived from "xitomates" or "ai- tomates" by which it was known to the early inhabitants of Mexico. Just recently the perplexing pro- blem of whether the tomato is a Yes, etable or a fruit' was settled for the Minneapolis office of the Internal Revenue Bureau of the United States. According to a ruling ' emanating from the goverment headquarters at. Washington, the tomato is a veget- able, and just because it is a veget- able and not a fruit, its juice goes tax-free, a United States fax of two cents a gallon being imposed on drinks made from fruit. The tomato is mentioned in North American records as early as 1781 but it was not until well on in the 19th century that it came into pop- ular use. MISS MACPRAIL AND HER POLICIES ' Miss Agnes C. Maophail, M.Py for South -East'• Grey, has again crashed the front page of the dailies by lead- ing a successful campaign at last week's U.F.O. annual meeting to re- organize the company, '`fire" their solicitor, and finally inducing the U. F.O. to re-enter the field of politi- cal action in support of the -Common- wealth Co-operative Federation, Un- der the strain cf economic conditions which have placed a terrific burden upon all citizens, and particularly upon farmers, the present outlook in the west and in Ontario is that the agrarian movement of ten years ago is to be revived and, if history re- peats itself, will aeain become a powerful factor in the political life of Canada. Apparently the Mac- phail-Woodsworth-Irvine group feel it is hopeless to secure adequate ac- tion under present conditions. That their main appeal is to the fanners can be seen by their platform. First rf all, they demand an inflationary policy, whereby Canada would join with Australia and the Argentine in depreciating the value of their mon- ey, bringing it more on a par with the British pound, and thus giving the farmer a higher return for their exports sent to Britain. While such a policy might benefit the fanners, it would certainly hit strongly at the towns, the provinces and the domin- ion. It would almost surely have the effect of causing the United States to discount Canadian money still further. Ontario 'borrowed money in the United States, and it is re• ported exchange cost the province some three million dollen in the last fiscal year. The Hydro Commission borrowed money in the Upited States and Hanover's share of the exchange is 82.300 for this year. As Sir Thomas White. ex -minister el finance, pointed out in a statement this week, Canada is a debtor nation, and it is vital to the dominion to up- hold its credit in foreign lands. Ev- ery phase of our government system) except the townships, would be dir- ectly affected should Canada inflate its money and thus bring theist a more severe discount on our money in the United States. Another of the C.C.P's main planks is a., stiff increase in the income tax scale. wit;'/ farmers paying a very small propor- tion of income taxes, this plank cer- teinly will not offend them. Among the press comments greeting the TLF,O.'s decision to join with the 0, C.F. is one from, the Toronto Globe, Admittedly the Globe has become a rather• conservative journal •ecannaret' to the revolutionary reform policy e+` its founder. the Hon.

LOW RAILWAY FARES FOR FESTIVE SEASON Teachers and students at Canadian educational institutions are to have a wider opporbunity 'of low -fare tra, vel during the Christmas and New Year holidays this year, according to an announcement by the Canadian Passenger Association.

ACTING PRESIDENT RETURNS FROM INSPECTION TRIP WEST Welll Satisfied With Physical Con- ditions of Railway and Fine Spir- it of Personnel. .Greatly Enjoyed Renewal of Personal Contacts with Railway Staff and with Many Re. tired Employees. , . Following an inspection trip of the lines the system between Montreal and the Pacific Coast, Mr. S. 3. Hun- gerford, Acting President of the Can- adian National Railways. returned to Montreal recently. He expressed himself as well satisfied with the physical condition of the railway and the fine spirit of its personnel. This was 1VIr, Hungerford's first offieal inspection trip since his ap- pointment as head of the Nationol Syetem and he was accompanied from Winnipeg west by A. E. Warren, Viee-President of the Western Reg- ion and other officers. After visit- ing Regina, Saskatoon and Calgary, he went; north to Edmonton and spent a day inspecting the new Bonnyville extension of the Canadian National Railways which runs north and east front Edmonton, serving a magnif- i^ent farming district, An inspection of Jasper Park Lodge was made un- der ideal weather conditions and ar- rangements made for the 1033 sea- son, which with the opening of speck- led trout fishing in the Maligne Lake region of the Park, is expected to he an exceptionally busy one. The Afeting President proceeded from Jasper to Prince Rupert and thence through the Inside Passage on the C'ompany's steamship "Prince Rupert". to Vancouver, where (there were interviews with the various municipal anti provincial bodies. Throughout the trip the Acting Pres- ident received many delegations. He made calls on the provincial premiers and the mayors and upon the busi- ness leaders of the various :commun- ities visited. Ore the eastbound trip inspection of facitilies at Port Arthur Fort William and Toronto was made.. A. feature of the trip Mr. Hunger- ford greatly enjoyed was renewal of rersonal contacts with members of the railway's staff and with many retired employees. SAME HERE, BROTHER The Fergus News -Record boasts that it sells nothing but Made -in - Canada Christmas tares. That's bet- ter than the 'Chronicle can say. We don't sell any. We used to. but the rcmpe'ition got so keen that we gracefully retired two or three years ago. Up here, in Durham the drug, jewellery and other stores, the church societies, and nume2•ous house-to-house canvassers are all at it. Next year the blacksmiths, milk vendors, butchers and banks might also do well to run them as a side- line. As old saying used to be "as, thick as fleas on a dog," 'but this rnight'be changed to read, "as thick as Christmas card vendors in Dur- ham." ---Durham- Clientele.

MEMORY Hail, Memory, hail! in thy exhaust- less mine From age to age unnumbered treas- ures shine! Thought and her shadowy brood thy call obey, And place and time are subject to thy away! Thy pleasures most we feel, when most alone. —Samuel Rogers 4:5b .HOW SOAP WAS FIRST MADE. Some water and oil one day had a broil, As down in a glass they were drop- ping; They would not unite, but continued to fight, Without any prospect of stopping. Some lye overheard, and quick as a. word Jumping into the midst 01 the clashing, When all three agreed, and united with speed; Then soap was created for wash- ing. (Verse over 75 years old --(Author un- known.) —,Mancunian, in the Globe CAN YOU SAY?— Can you say tonight in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single person of the many you have passed? Is a single life rejoicing over what you did or said, Does some one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day or lose it, was it well or poorly spent? Did you leave a trail of kindneet cr a scar of discontent As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say You have made the world much better for the life you've lived today? —Anonymous AGE Who take from Age responsibility And seek to ease the labor of its hands, In finer cloth to vest it, and to free The failing strength its usual de- mands, Must look upon a death more pitiful Than wasted limbs and slowly dim- ming sight— Mmst see the spirit totter and decay, Dependence prey upen it like a blight. Too high a price to pay—the shaken pride! The old ship, tethered, mourns the rolling wave; Far better on the bluffeting sea to ride Engulfed at last, than beached and brooding dried, A paltry year or two defy the natur- al grave. —Jessie L; Beattie. oerCeeet, THE SHOPPERS Along the crowded street they Come and go Under the holly boughs and cedar wreaths; Surely some mighty truth has made it so, And wrought this season when the tired world breathes A richer air, and human hearts are moved Beyond the joys and griefs of every day ..t To .old familiar things, the long be- loved, And precious things that living thrusts away. No selfish urge has set the' hurrying feet OfChristmas shoppers where the thousands tread; Their's is an errand tremulous and sweet, And laden arms bear gifts that strangely blur To spice and gold and frankincense and myrrh. —Minnie Hite Moody. t==:1tea UNLOVED One sorrow only in God's world has birth— To live unloving and unloved on earth; One joy alone makes life a part of heaven--+ The joy of happy love received and given. Give me the heart that spreads its wings, Like the freed bird, that soars and sings, And sees the bright side of all thing; From Behring's Straits to Dover. It is a bank that never breaks, it is a store thief never takes, It is a rock that never shakes, All the wjde world over. THE THREAD OF GOLD They are poor That have Iost nothing; they are poorer far Who, losing, have forgotten; they most poor Of all who lose and wish they night forget. This life is one, and in its warp and woof There runs a thread of gold that glit- ters fair, And sometimes in the pattern shows most sweet Where there are sombre colors. It is true That we have wept. But oh! This, thread is gold We would not have it tarnish; let us turn Oft and look back upon the wondrous web, And when it shineth sometimes we shall know That memory is possession, --Jean Ingelow. A CHINESE "MAIN STREET" No sidewalk, just a narrow, elusty street; Small huddled stops irregular and low, With "open face," and strolling to and fro The vendors calling with' the tom- tom's beat. And here are wondrous jades sold for a song. And crimson lacquered vases, silk brocades, Rich old embroideries of rarest shares, Bronze incense burners and a dinner gong. Above float billowing clouds of green and blue, Of red and yellow, silken banner - things That advertise the little shops be- low. My ricksha coolie, with his swinging queue, Takes me to buy a treasure that the Kings Held sacred quite a thousand years ago. —1B. Y. Williams in "Apples of Gold." WORK World Thank Godfor the swing, of it, For the hammering, clamming ring of it, On the mighty anvils of the world Passion of labor daily hurled. Oh, what is so fierce as the flame of it? And what is so huge as the aim of it? Calling the plan of the Maker out ' Work, the Titan; Work, ,the friend, Shaping the earth to a glorious end, Draining the (swamps and blasting. the hills, Doing whatever the spirit wills; Rending a continent apart To answer the dream of the Master Heart; Thank God for a world where none may shirk! Thank God far the splendor of work! -Anon, FROM THE RUBAIYAT OF A TERRIER Wake! for the Sun wherein I love to snore Has, like the Eiderdown, slid off me to the floor, And I a drowsy step or two must creep And flop into its gentle warmth once more.

And wifhenin vain, thtime comes, Master, at I seek a Paradise for Dogs, I fain (If, as some say, there's no such Place for me) Would dwell just in your thoughts and not complain. —Sewell Collins. FRIENDSHIP "If you walk as a friend you wiII find a friend wherever you choose to fare; If you go with mirth to a far strange land, you will find that mirth is there; For the strangest part of this queer old world is that like will join with like; And who walks with love for his fellowman, an answering love will strike. If you walk in honour then honest men will meet you along the way; But if you are false, you will find omen false wherever you chance to stray, For good breeds good and bad breeds bad, we are met by the trails we show; Love will find a friend at the stran- ger's floor where hate will find a foe. "For eaelr of us builds the world he knows which only himself can spoil; And an hour of hate or an hour of shame can ruin a life oftoil And though to the utmost ends of the earth your duty may bid you fare, If you go with truth and a friendly heart, you will find friends waiting there."•—Anon.
