A Column Prepared Especially for Women—
But Not Forbidden to Men
To work all day long, just for money,
Mid turmoil, and hurry and strife,
'Might make me quite a good living,
But wouldn't snake much of a life.
—The Cheerful Cherub:
"Men have certain work to do for
their bread, and that is to be done
strenuously; other work for their de-
light, and that is to be done heartily;
neither is to be done by halves or
shifts, but with a will, and what is
not worth that effort is not to be
done at all." --Ruskin.
Are housekeepers taking more
seriously; to the business of home-
making than was the ease a few
years ago?
Are young married women, who
are just starting the business of
homemaking, going into it with a
determination to make a real jcb of
It?
Are they realizing that homemak-
ing is a real career and worthy of
their best efforts?
For years in this young country of
ours women had to give their whole
time and attention to the work of
keeping the house and caring for
their families ,which were usually
larger than the modern family, but
as time went on and prosperity grew
and household conveniences increased
the work of the housekeeper decreas-
ed. She was not -tied down so hard
and fast and perhaps had help with
her household tasks and the daughters
of the household were not required to
assist so much. They went in for
other kinds of work when school days
were over and in many cases learn-
ed very little about housekeeping)
and often when married, and them-
selves responsible for the managing
of a home, were not prepared. Some -

FADS are a mixture. Milk, which we riglit-
11y regard asthe best single food we
Prontjses are apparently never possess, contains about equal a -
too extravagant to attract public at,
tention. We recall the premises of
wealth to be acquired over -night that
have never failed to draw money in-
to some wild scheme. Today, the
public are apt to be beguiled by the
promoters of various diets which
pron'tiee an end to all troubles and a
bure for all ills.
These faddy diets are usually pre-
sented in an attractive' manner.
Scientific facts are ignored or mis-
represented. We are told for ex.
ample, that we should not mix car-
bohydrates (cereals and starches)
with proteins (meats, fish and eggs.
The Promoters of this statement base
their remarks upon the fact that the
proteins are acted upon by the acid
digestive fluids of the stomach,
while the carbohydrates are digest-
ed by the alkaline juices of the
mouth and the intestine.
There is no foundation fcr the
idea that the presence of carbohy-
drates and proteins together in the
mouth, stomach or intestine will in-
terfere withthe digestion of one or
the outer. Indeed, it is the acid
nature of the food Ieaving the sto-
mach which stimulates the flow of
the alkaline digestive juices of the
intestine.
Furthermore, the foods we eat
mounts of protein and carbohydrate.
If it were true that these two sub-
stances should not be taken into the
stomach at the same time, we should'
have to discontinue the breast-feed-
inge f
of children and the use of snilk.
There is no apparent reason why
we should not eat, at the same meal,
toast (carbohydrates) and eggs er
meat (protiens) and potatoes (car-
bohydrate). Our digestive system
is quite capable of 'handling such
combinations of foods without dif-
ficulty.
Health demands a well-balanced
diet and the way to secure such a
diet is by eating a wide variety of
foods. Safety is assured by includ-
ing milk, leafy vegetables and fruits
in the diet each day. Diets which
are faddy are unsound. Diets which
promise everything will likely do
harm rather than good.
Health is a valuable possession.
The body should be cared for along
the lines of scientific knowledge and
not according to the unsupported
statements of promoters of faddy
diets.

dressed to the Canadian Medical As.

ience. And sometimes she never
learned and her house 'vas always
badly managed, her fancily badly
llourished and her home anything but
a pleasant place to live.
But I think modern young women
are taking things differently. They
seem to be mere interested in home-
making. 'For one thing they are tak-
ing up to a more or less extent the
manufacture of household gear, such
as rugs, quilts, etc. They are becom-
ing interested in the making of jel-
lies, pickles, and all sorts of home
manufactured foods. A young bride
at a recent exhibition carried off
several -first prizes for cooking, beat-
ing experienced women who had been
in the habit of taking all the firsts.
while others made good showings al,
so, Domestic science seems to be a
favorite study nowadays,
And 'while I am not by any means
one of those who think that home-
makers should give their whole mind
and effort to the one job of manag-
ing the house and caring for the
family, yet it is a most important
Sob and should not be slighted for
anything, and the inclicaticns that
young women are taking more in-
terest in anis fitting themselves more
thoroughly for tite work of home-
making aro in my estimation very
significant and encouraging. More
power to them. They will find as
they take up the work that it is not
only important but also one to a -
reuse interest anti enthusiasm.
But every woman who keeps a
house should determine that while
she does the job of 'homemaking in
the very best possible way, she will
not be a household drudge. She should
do a Certain amount of reading; she
should keep up her interest in music,
if gifted that way, and should not
allow herself to become narrowed to
the four walls of her home. The day
is past when women • can give all
their thought to the management of
hone and forget the outside world,
Woman is now a citizen of the
world and must leant to take her
own responsibility as such.
Women used to complain that their
sphere was limited. It is not ee
now. • Women must do the work they
used to do, which is exacting enough,
and besides train themselves to take
their part in the conduct of world
affairs. Women's work, women's in-
fluence, women's responsibilities are
ponstantlyincreasing. It behooves
theist to be taking themselves and
their careers seriously and to set a-
bout preparing themselves for the
work ahead,

THE BOUNTIFUL HARVEST
The golden grain with nodding' head
Fills all the land -with bounteous store
To fill the hungry mouths with bread
That none may want from shore to
shore.
Nol every mouth will'not be filled;
For man has built a fence around,
The gleaner has no welcome here.
This land is mine, Beep off my
ground,
My sturdy arra hath plowed the
fields!
My arm hath cast the golden seed„
I'll reap my fields, and build my
barns,
Of others I will take no heed.
Oh selfish man! Who built the worlds?
Who gave thee power to sow the
seed?
Who sent the gentle rain from heav,
en?
And sunbeams ciancing overhead?
'Twas God our father sent the sun
To stir to life that hidden strength:
The blade, the ear, the ripened grain;
And the harvest -home at length.
Oh foolish man, what could we do
Without that mighty hand divine?
Our feeble power is loaned to us
That we may bless all humankind.
Shall we not worship at the shrine
Of IIim who rolls the worlds along,
Commit our every care to Him,
And fill our days with thankful song?

THE EVENING SI{Y
Rose-boson'd and rose-limb'd,
With eyes of dazzling bright
Shakes Venus mics the twined boughs
of the night;
Rose-limb'd, soft -stepping
From low bough to bough,
Shaking the wide,hung starry fruit-
age—,dimmed
Its bloom of snow
By that sole planetary glow.
Venus, avers the astronomer,
Not thus idly dancing goes
Flushing the eternal orchard with
wild rose.
Site through ether burns
Outpacing planetary earth,
And ere two years triumphantly re,
turns,
And again wave-lilce swelling flows,
And again her flashing apparition
comes and goes.
This we have not seen,
No heavenly courses set,
No flight unpausing through a void
serene;
But, when eve cleats,
Arises Venus as she first uprose
Stepping the shaken boughs among,
And in her bosom glows
The warm light hidden hi sunny
snows.
She shakes the clustered stars
Lightly, as she goes
Amid the unseen branches of the
night,
Rope-limb'tl, rose-bosont'd bright,
She leaps; they shake and pale; she
glows—,
And who but knows
Zloty the rejoiced heart aches
When Venus all his starry vision
shakes;
When through his mond
Tossing with random airs of an un-
earthly wind,
Rose-bosom'd, rose-limb'd,
The mistress of his starry vision
arises,
And boughs glittering sway
And the stars pale away,
And the enlarging heaven glows
As Venus light -foot mitt the twined
branches goes.

TIIE ICE -CART
Perched on my city office -stool
I watched with envy, while a cool
And lucky carter handled ice. .
And I was wandering in a trice,
Far from the gray time grimy heat
02 that intolerable street,
O'er sapphire berg and emerald floe,
Beneath the still, cold ruby glow
Of everlasting Polar night,
Bewildered by the queer half -fright;
Until I stumbled, unawares,.
Upon a creek where big white bears
Plunged headlong clown with flour-
ished heels
And floundered after shining seals
`Through shivering seas of blinding
blue.
And as I watched them, oro I knew,
I'd stripped, and I was swimming,
too,
Amonge'the seal -pack young and hale,
And thrusting on with threshing tail,
With twist and twirl and sudden leap
Through crackling ice and salty deep
Diving and doubling with my kind,
Until, at last, we left behind
Those big white, blundering bulks of
death,
And lay, at length, with panting
breath
Upon a far untravelled floe
Beneath a gentle drift of snow—•
Snow drifting gently, fine and white,
Out of the endless Polar night,
Falling and falling evermore
Upon that far untravelled shore,
Till I was buried fathoms deep
Beneath that cold,' white drifting
sleep—
Sleep drifting deep,
Deep drifting sleep... .
The carter cracked a sudden whip:
I detailed my stool with startled
grip,
Awakening to the grimy heat
Of that intolerable street.

A GRACE FOR LIGHT
When we were little childer we had a
quare wee house,
Away up in the heather by the
head o' Brabla burn;
The hares we'd see them sceotin', an'
we'd hear the crowin' grouse,
An' when we'd all be in et night
ye'd not get room to turn.
The youngest two She'd put to bed,
their faces to the wall,
An' the lave of us could sit aroun',
just anywhere 'we might;
Herself 'ud take the rush -clip an'
light it for us all,
An' "Gori be thanked!" she would
say, "Now, we have a Iight."
Then we be to quet the leughin'an'
pushin' on the floor,
An' think on One who called us to
come and be forgiven;
Himself 'ucl put his pipe down, an'
say the good word store,
"May the Lamb o' God lead us all
to the Light o' Heaven!"
There's a wheen things that used to
be an' now has had their clay,
The nine glens of Antrim can show
ye many a sight;
But not the quare wee house where
wo lived up Brabla' way,
Nor a child in all the nine Glens
that knows the grace for light.

A PIPER
A piper in the streets to -.clay
Set up, and tuned, and started to
play,
And away, away, away on the tide
Of his music we started; on every
side
Doors and windows were opened wide
And men Ieft clown their work and
came,
And women with pe'tticcats coloured
like 'flame
And little bare feet that were blue
with cold,
Went dancing hack to the age of gold
And all the world went goy, went
gay,
For half an hour in the street to-day.

HATE
My enemy tante nigh,
And I
Stared fiercely in his face.
My ilps went writhing back in a
grimace,
And stern I watched him with a
narrow eye.
Then, as I turned away, my enemy,
That bitter heart and savage, said
to me:
"Some day, when this is past, .
When all the arrows that we have
are cast,
We may ask one another wiry we
hate,
And fail to find a story to relate.
Ii may seem to us theft a mystery
That we could hate each other."
Thtis said he,
And did not turn away,
Waiting to hear what T. might have
to say;
But I fled quickly, fearing if I
stayed
I might have kissed hint as I would
a ..maid.

"HOIYIE NO MORE HOME TO ME"
Heine no more home to me, whither
oday,
must I wonder?
Hunger xray driver, I go where x
must.
Cold blows the winter wind over
hill And heather;
Thick drives the rain, and my roof
is in the dust.
Loved of wise men was the shade of
my roof -tree.
The true word ofwelcome was
spoken in the door—
Dear days of old, with the faces in
the firelight,
Kind folksof old, you come again
rio more
SIome was home then, my dear, full
of, kindly faces,
Home was home then, my dear,
happy for the child.
Fire and the windows bright glitter-
ed on the moorland;
Song, tuneful song, built a palace
in the wild
Now, when day dawns on the brow,
01 the moorland,
Lone stands the house, and the
chimney -stone is cold
Lone let it stand, now the friends
are all departed,
The kind hearts, the true hearts,
that loved the place of old.
Spring shall come, come again, cal-
ling up the moor -fowl,
Spring shall bring the sun and
rain, bring the bees and flowers;
Red shall the heather bloom over hill
and valley,
Soft flow the stream through the
even -flowing hours;
Fair the day shine as it shone on my
childhood --
Fair shine the day on tate house
with open door;
Birds come and cry there and twit-
ter in the chimney—
But
himneyBut I go forever and conte again
no more.

THERE WERE TWO OF THEM
'A soldier went to his, colonel and
asked for leave to go home and
help his wife with her spring clean-
ing.
"I don't like to refuse you," said
the colonel, "but I've just received
a letter froth your wife saying that
you are of na use around the house."
The soldier saluted and turned to
go. At the door he stopped, turned
and remarked:
"Wend, there are two persons in
this regiment who handle the truth
loosely, 'and I'tn one of them. I'm
not married."
