Care of Children PAGE INTEREST Edited By Lebam Hakeber Kralc 'A Column Prepared Especially for Women— But Not Forbidden to Men JUST TO BE NEEDED it is not such a complete taking awny of an interests as hi children grow ""She. always seems so tied" is what up and need him less and lees. But to the mother who has spent her whole life in caring for her chil- dren it is a tragedy when they leave her alone and lonely. No mo- ther, of course, would wish to keep her little ones always little about her. She prides in their develope- unlit; in their ability to go out into the world to make their own way and take on their own "resnonsibilities But what is she to do with her emp- ty bands. with her time, which was all too little when they were about her knees, but which seems now so endless? Every mother of growing children should be prepared fog this, as it is bound to come. She ahould take time enough from her many duties to keep up her interest in something outside her home; she should try to do aome reading, (if she does not do this her children are soon going to Boll her a rather dull companion and they will seek companionship elsewhere); shy should, if posishle, have a member- ship in some organization, church et secular, which will take her out of her own home at stated intervals; she should make a practice of going with her huaband as much as pos- sible to church, social or fraterna' gatherings, thus not allowing them- selves to drift apart, and she should plan all these things in such a wag that the little ones will not be neg- lected or miss any of the •care and attention that they are entitled to, A mother may be quite content to stay at home when her children arc :voting, giving all her care to them. But her duty to herself, to her hus- band mai to the future, when the' children are gone from the home nest, require that she so manage things that when that time comes it does not find her a washed-out old woman. comnletely cut off from con- tact with the outside world, o dull companion for her husband, who has grown accustomed to seeking hit, companionships outside his home, ane with plenty of time upon her hands for doing useful work in the world but no preparation or inclination for it. Some of the best philanthropic work in the world has been clone by women who found time hanging hea- vy on their hands after their children wore gene from the home. But it is difficult for a woman to find and and he has still his work. To him perform such useful work if they friends say, ; She never has a chance to get away! Home, husband, children, duties great or small, Keep her forever at their beck and ' call! But she confides with laughter in her eyes, ' She never yet felt fretted by these ties, Just to be needed is more sweet, says she, Than any freedom in this world. could be!" —Mary Eversley. C=stmicsa Haven't you sometimes wondered at the serenity of the mother of a family as she attends to the wants of one, answers the question of another and anticipates the needs of a third, all the time looking forward to and planning for the home coining of the father of the family and his com- fort when he comes? As long as her own health is sound all this confusion and an these de - strands on her time and patience do not seem to trouble her at all; it is all in the day's 11,013:. She may breathe a sigh of relief when night comes and the children and their de- mands are disposed of for the time being, but she arises tne next morn- ing to the same tasks, She is need- ed. Her husband and little ones need her for thole comforting and their very lives. To be needed; to be of use in the world. that's what makes life worth living! Then the day comes when the children are grown and awes and her hands are empty. What is the moth- er, who has given all her care tb her children to do them? Her home and bueband cannot take up all her time. lie is busy in the fields, at the store or in the ofifce. He has many inter- ests, probably. for as a rule a man does not give himself up so complete- ly to the care of his family as a mother does. He cannot, as a rule even if he wished. Ire has to keep in touch with the leisines world in order to make a living: he olso or, ten thinks it a good thing to join fraternal societies for the %eke of • besiness. Anyway, he has hundreds of contacts with the outside world 4.0.1.10011•100111.014 1:01.0.-.40•YMI CARING t Service OV TRH ebirat Arisrtriation and Life Insurance Companies in Canada, Edited by GRANT FLEMING, MM., Associate Secretary FOR TEETH Stop, look and read if you are now young and you want to preserve the - netural, youthful appearance of your face and, at the same time, en - Joy the comfort and health which come with a healthy mouth contain- ing sound teeth, The food you eat builds your teeth. ' You cannot have well-built teeth nn- ' les a you use milk, green vegetables • • and fresh fruits during that period of life when the body is building the teeth out of the foods which are s eaten. Teeth are required to chew food and so prepare it for digestion. Fooda which require :chewing should be included in the diet, because the act of !chewing develops Alm jaws properly and helps to keep the teeth and gums • healthy. • In order that the:teen and gnmr may be kept healthy,.they ,should be kept clean. It is. best to clean them after every meal, but they should at least be cleaned after brealdaet arid • before going to bed, using' a tooth- ' brash -arid a little salt and ,water, or a non -gritty powder or paste. The mouthshould be rinsed after the ,sit • teeth have .been brushed. Thedentist should besyisited twice • e year so that the teeth •inay 'be cleaned and to secure the early treat- ment of any decay. Early treatment stops further decay, preserves 'the eon, and prevents the pain and dis- comfort whin would otherwise oc- cur. 'Unless the teeth and gums are cared for, they may become diseae- ecl as the result of germs setting up. an infection. What is serious about such infection is not so much the damage that may be caused locally, although that is bad enough, but rather that the infection may spread to other parts of the body and cause serious harm to vital organs. Many people do not enjoy the degree of health -which they should because their health is being sapped by diseased teeth and gums. It may be that the food is not properly chewed and thus digestion is inter- fered with. The absorption of pus may be poisoning the body. Painful teeth cause lack of sleep, and lead to irritability. Good teeth are an asset to the per- sonal appearance, but much morn important is their influence upon the health of the body. Care of the teeth in early life secures these ad- vantages for the later years, Early negleot cannot be offset by later care. It is better to act now rather than suffer -regrets' in the years to come. ! • Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Sitedical As. sedation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered per -smelly by lettere. ., have not kept abreast, of the time and in contact with what is going on in the world.

He is not by any means a granger, having resided here about eight years ago. He starts in with the determination to succeed and we have no doubt but that he will do so.

Wheatley is on his rounds col- lecting taxes and is meeting with a fair response, considering that the roll has only hen a short time in his hands. The roll represents about 811.000, and the council intends that all taxes moist be promtnly paid without any' extension of time. At the regular monthly meeting of the town council a communication was read, being a resolution passed by the viands, council asking that each municipality take e vote at next election as to whether or not a House of Refuge be erected in the county, It was decided to take such a Aevote.° communication was read from Mr. James Fair, regarding the fire protection he has put in at the mill and the advisability of connection of the same with the tank system of the town as an accessory to the town fire protection.

The drilling began early in June last and the contractor fully expected to fin- ish inside of three months but unex- pected difficulties presented themsel- ves and the work dragged along for three and a half months. When the job was finally taken off the driller's hand as finished he heaved a sigh of relief that might have been heard across a concession.

THE DEAD Blow eut, you bugles, over the rich Dead! There's none of these so lonely and poor of old But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene That men call age; and those whc would have been, Their sons, they gave, their immor, tality. Blow, bugles, 'blow! They brought us, for our dearth, Holiness, lacked so long, and Love. and Pain. Honor has come back, as a king, to earth, And paid his subjects with a royal wago; And Nobleness walks in our ways again; And sve have come into our heritage. —Rupert Brooke. REMEMBRANCE Remember! Not alone with praise today, The beat of drums, the slow proces- sional, Old songs, old tears, the bugle's final can— These that have gone have found. a wiser way; Passed beyond maddened warfare, and the blind Futility of strife that lends to strife, If they remember, in some richer life, 110M, they must mourn the mockery of mankind! Remember! There is youth for wast- ed youth, There are tomorrows for sons yet to he; Mug they, too, drink the bitter cup, that we Filled with false wine, who knew the shining truth? Tread the slow march, and weep, if weep we must, It matters not the sum of their re, ward, So that the ploughshare breaks a rusted sword And peace unfolds her wings above their dust. t.-417, B.

A. load of years between has made us grim, A dirge within our hearts has choked the hymn, But gleams the prophet's words at length: "In confidence and quietness shall be your strength." I've watched the ebbing tide in fad- ing light, But, waiting, heard the full tide at its height; The long, black night but brings the welcome dawn; Meantime the old words ring: "Quit ye like men, be strong!" / —J, S.—Hamilton, Nov. 11, 1932 • FORWARD!

The world may sound no trumpet, ring no bells; The book of life, the shining record tells, Thy love shall chant its own beauti- tudes, After its own life-svorking. A child's • kiss Set on thy singing lips shall make thee glad; A poor Intim served by thee shall make thee rich; A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong;' Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense of service which thou ren- derest. —Robert Browning, *moats:sae DAYBREAK A wind came up out of the sea, And said,' "0 mists, make room for mel" It hailed the ships and cried, "Sail on, Ye mariners, the night is gone!" And hurried landward far awey. Crying, "Awake, it is the day!" It said unto the forest, "Shout! Hang all your leafy banners out!" It touched the wood -bird's folded wing, And said, "0 bird, awake and sing!" And o'er the farm, "0 chanticleer, Your clarion blow; the day is near!" It whispered to the field of corn, "Bow down, and hail the coming morn!" It shouted through the belfry tower, "Awake, 0 ben! proclaim the hour." —Henry Wadsworth LongfelloW. e=Z1 ECHO AND SILENCE In eddying course when loaves began to fly, And autumn in her lap the store to strew, As mid wild scenes I chewed the Muse to woo, Through glens mitred, and woods that frowned on high, Two sleeping 'nymphs with wonder mute 1 spy! And, low, she's gone!—!n robe of dark green hue, 'Twas Echo from her sister Silence flew, For quick the hunter's horn resound- ed to the Sky! In shade afrighted Silence melts away, Not so her sister.
