JUDGE NOT "Judge not, the workings of His mind and heart Thou canst not see, What seeiiis to thy dim eye a stain To God's pure sight may only be A. scar, brought from some well fought field Where thou would'st only faint and yield." One of the things which we do with the least effort to -day is to judge one another. It. is indeed foolish for us "The Light shineth in the darkness; to spend even our thoughts in this find the idarknessl comprehended it way. We are not, the other person not" (John 1:5).

PAGE 7 HEALTH Making Canada A Better Place hn Wh• ich to Live - LETTER NO. 6 "What can Weekly Newspapers do to make Canada a better place -in which to live and work?" The ques- tion correctly implies a special sphere of influence, for the weekly collect- ively goes into- the home and is. close to the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people where the basic factors of a congenial existence should be found. If "to be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his-prssenee,"if this is the best of a man's life: and work, as Stevenson says, making Canada a better place depends upon the character of its citizens. The weekly has an opportunity through its community service to keep alive the spark of human, sympathy and interest, antidotes for greed and repression which are responsible for so much despair. Church, school and home are within the range of its in- terpretation. A large proportion of its readers has the wholesome privil- ege of living close to nature, man's inspiration and model. Can the week- lies do more to cultivate an under- standing of these advantages? Canada is a good place in which to live because it is not yet overwhelmed by individual and collective`barbarit- ies. Perhaps more than any other class of publication the weeklies can strengthen the ideals for human bet- terment by keeping the virtues and their .means of expression inthe fore- ground. The audience to which they appeal, promoting the finer instincts, can continue with the aid' of press leadership to be the nation's defense against the vices in high and low places. If sincerity in human relationships is the basis of happy citizenship, wil- lingness to let live accompanies the right to work and to assert individ- uality with self-reliance: Promotion of such ideals may not be a distinct- ive prerogative of the weekly press but its field is responsive. Respect for individual capacities is being en- dangered by over -regimentation Can- ada would be a better place in which to live if the tendency to centralize were reversed, the smaller contemn - ides provided With a greater share of industrial activity, enabling more people to enjoy the neighborly inter- course which seems to be denied to a great extent in the impersonal atmo- shere of the more congested area. A. A. McINTOSH, . Editor-inChief, The Globe and Mail. Toronto, March 22, 1988 THE BOYS ABOUT MY AGE ARE GETTING GREY Tan as young, or even younger, than I ever was before, But the boys about my' age are get- ting grey; Though of energy and spirit I have still abundant store, , Yet the boys about my age are get- ting grey, I have had may share of childish care and 50111e of manhood's woes, But I feel as glad Ian living as does anyone I know, Al] my life is still ahead of me, ambi- tion flow, But the boys about my age are get- ting grey. In my heart the songs of childhood ring as sweet as ere they rang, But the boys about my age are get- ting grey. I'm:, as lively' as a two-year-old and feel' life's old=time tang, But the boys about my .age are get- ting grey. - I have wasted erosions hours, aye, I ant like to waste them yet, I have caused, and still am causing, those who love me best to fret, I am counting futures only, and the profits they shall net, But the boys ,about my age are get- ting grey. I ant forced' to the conclusion, though it fills, my heart with pain, (For the boys about' my age are get- ting grey.) • That my boyhood days are over and my lifetide on the wane, For the boys about my age are get- ting grey. Let my mirror tell its story, crowfeet, spectacles and all, Then with wet' eyes 1 acknowledge that my youth is past recall. - I have had my spring and summer, I must face the frosts of fall, For the boys about my age are get„ ting grey, A NEALTN SERVICE OP THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA POWER Power is a word- which we frequent- ly use. Mechanical or electrical power is now constantly in use, so much so, in fact, that we do not give much thought to, the conveniencesand com- forts brought to us by the applica- tion of power. Certain individuals are admired, envied, or feared because of their power,' and, among them, are those who properly use such power and, unfortunately, those who abuse it. In many ways, personal power represents success, because the indiv- idual who has gone ahead and reached the peak of his particular line of work has generally attained to power in that field, In any and every type of work, we are helped to success- if we possess physical and mental health. No in- dividual is able to do his best work unless he has health. He may do good work, his achievements may be well above the average, he may excell, but unless be has health, he cannot attain his full measure of success. If he has not health, he has not"developed his capacities to the full, and, unless these capacities are fully developed, he has not reached the peak of effic- iency. . ,-, ! I• Work, play, rest and sleep in mod- eration are all necessary. Overwork to the point of fatigue, over -play, resulting in undue strain, lacic of rest and sleep which the body requires in order to regain and store un energy— any one or all of these may result in stress and strain which lower physical and mental efficiency and so decrease personal power. The individual who is apparently defying the law of mod- eration with impunity suffers in loss of personal power, although this may not be immediately apparent, and the day will come when he must pay the penalty in an obvious way. In order to do our 'best work, in order to enjoy our play, in order to live happy lives, we should not lose sight of the fact that work, play and rest all have their time and place, and that they should all be taken in moderation. The long grind is a mis, take. Better work results if its prog- ress is broken by periods of relaxa- tion either at play or at rest. She Considers Shooting Him Alice and Pete are happily married, although Alice sometimes considers that the best plan would be to shoot her husband. The first time she con- sidered it was before they were :mar- ried. Pete addressed an envelope to her front the Pallister, Calgary, Inside the envelope he put no letter to Alice, but instead he put a letter. to his father. Alice, in due course of post, opened the envelope at her home at Granby, Que. Then she was horrified to find the letter to Pete's father. She thought Pete must have sent her letter to his father. She wondered in anguish what Pete had said to her in that. letter. -Pete has kept on worrying Alice with things like that for years, His latest and perhaps most brilliant ef- fort was deftly executed the other day in Montreal, where they now live. The two of them were descend- ing in ;:an elevator from a certain luncheon room. In the elevator there were also four middle-aged and rath- er stern -looking ladies. Pete .was to leave the elevator at the third floor, while Alice was to go down to the street level. As Pete got out of the elevator at the third floor, he Iook- ed back at his wife and asked, "Are yon going to tell your husband that you had luncheon with me " Then the elevator door closed and Alice was forced to ride down the rest: of the way with the 'stein -looking ladies, who eyed her with marked disfavor. —The Printed Word.

COOKING aleasaaaaataittaaalsa 1.3.• . sow:.etelaaa is Tested Recipes 1 BOILING A VEGETABLE IS FIRST STEP IN PREPARATION TO MANY A.FINE COOK The common way of preparing car- rots and cauliflower is to boil them. However, there are those women who boil them a bit hard and then start from there to really prepare the vegetable for the evening meal. Some will cream them, others mix them with an assortment of -vegetables, but there are recipes from the West that are a bit different. The women whothoughtup these recipes had good ideas and better, food sense -- they , fried them. FRIED CARROTS Wash, scrape and cut some tender young carrots in, quarters. length- wise. Throw them into boiling salted water and parboil them for ten minutes. Drain off all the water and let the carrots stand in acolander for a few minutes. Heat three table- spoons of butter in a large frying pan; add the carrots, not too many at a time,and fry to a light brown, turning to brown on the other side. Take out with a large fork and serve in a hot dish, ; FRIED CAULIFLOWER Cut a ° head of cauliflower into nieces about one and one-half inches long and boil quickly in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain' thoroughly and wipe each piece dry. Beat the whites and yolks of two eggs separately and mix them . Dip the pieces of the cauliflower into the mixtures; fry in butter on - both sides until a light brown and serve immediately. SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH HAM For all around good eating and for fine flavoring for potatoes there is probably nothing that will take the place of ham. And if you have never, paten ham flavored potatoes you have missed a real treat. Scalloped potatoes with ham is a great favorite in the West and is something that is well worth know., ing about in all sections of the coun- try. Scalloped Potatoes With Ham 4 to 6 potatoes 2 small onions, sliced 1 slice ham, about one inch thick 1 tablespoon butter , as teaspoon pepper Milk Peel and slice the potatoes about one-quarter inch thick. Butter a bak- ing dish and place a layer of the po- tatoes in the bottom, add half of the onions and thentheslice of ham, then the rest of.the onions and cover with more sliced potatoes. Dot with butter, sprinkle with pepper and cover with milk, Cover the dish and bake in a moderate even (350 degrees F.) for one and one-half hours. Remove the cover and bake 30 minutes longer. A SUPPER SALAD Por a healthy and delicious meal serve a: COOKED VEGETABLE SALAD 4 hard boiled eggs 1 .cup sliced boiled potatoes 7. cup sliced beets a/a eupi cooked cut un string beans French dressing 2 small heads lettuce, sliced and cooked - 1 cup mayonnaise Salt, capers, anchovy filets, ripe olives Chop two of the hard boiled eggs fine .:and mix with French dressing and the vegetables. Add, salt to taste and a little of the mayonnaise. Make a circle • of the chopped capers around the edge. Then:`piace the anchovy filets so as to make an eight or ten point star. Fill a small circle in the centre with chopped black olives. Decorate with slices of the two re- maining hardboiled eggs. This will make eight servings and should be served from the table from a salad bowl.. c WomeWs Privilege A little girl sitting in church, watching a wedding, suddenly ex- claimed; 'Mummy, has the lady changed her, mind?" "What do you mean?" the mother asked, - "Why," replied' the child, "she went up the aisle with one man and came back with another."

That tumble down from off the trees, When, Don and I go out to play, ' We often sweep the leaves away. THE WITCHES Last- night 1- saw some witches, They all had little switches„ Each one was riding on a broom, And going up to see the moon. MY DOG Once I had a little dog, - Who used to sit upon a log, He watched me when I went to swim, And sometimes he would scamper in, .'"a THE RAIN I like to listen to the rain, That splashes on my window -pane, It surely made a lot of noise, While I was playing with my toys. SANTA CLAUS Santa Claus has come to town, With his merry little clown, He loves all the girls and boys, And will bring them lots of toys. TOYS My favourite toy is an.aeroplane, Of course, I like an electric train.

LITANY FOR THE OPPRESSED "Shaw Thy Pity .Upon All Prisoners and Captives.' For all Thy helpless creatures, great and small, Father of Mercies, unto Thee we call; Good Lord, deliver them! Caged birds, those winged -joys, made to roam the sky; Those fluttering, breaking hearts we sell and buy; ' To please our whim, close jailed to live and die; Good Lord, deliver them! Poor dogs, forever on the galling chain, Doomed through the dragging season to remain, Watching for freedom, wistful eyed, in vain; . Good Lord, deliver them! Old horses, straining at their heavy load, With hooves that clutch and slip upon the road, And patient donkeys, meek beneath the goad; Good Lord, deliver them! From hardness of our hearts and cal- lous greed, From selfish thoughtfulness, too dull to heed Their dumb distress, we sinners humbly plead— Good Lord, deliver us! —Anon. A BEAUTIFUL RECIPE A beautiful turning to God in prayer, At break of day—be it dull or fair, A beautiful word -when -chance occurs. Instead of the gossip that hurts and slurs; A beautiful deed, not one or two, , But just as many as you can do; A beautiful thought in the mind to keep Where otherwise evil and sin might creep„ - A beautiful smile—how it helpsand cheers And coaxes from others their smiles and- tear's; A. beautiful song in praise to. Him When the shadows fall and the lights, grow dim, I If followed—you'll find it a beautiful away To make—and so easy—a beautiful "A WOMAN'S IF" If you can face the sun when all the others • Are sitting with their 'backs towards the light, If you can look so, dee that your own brothers Admit that you find favour in their sight, If you can talk, and not be always talking, Or being screamed at, keep your tones quite low, If you can do a good tWa hours walks ing And not complain of blisters on your toe. If you can bear to see the socks you'Ve knitted Used by your swain to clean his mat. or -bike, Or smile, to see Your greatest rival fitted With just' the kind of costume that you'd like. If you can buy a hat, a "French Creation"— . A hat that puts all others in the - shade, And wear the hat, and cause a great sensation— And never tell a soul the price you paid. If you can cry, and still remain at- tractive, If you San see a joke, and tell one too, • - If you can hear them talk, and stay' inactive If any scandal spreading there's tot do, If you can greet with every kind of . pleasure A man who eats his gravy with hia knife, He'll be convinced that you're a per.. feet treasure - And then, mayhap, you'll be his wed- ded wife. -Anon. SUMMER • Sinner days are here again, With trees all shaded in rarest green, And over the fields of waving grain, The Sun casts shadows of glistening sheen. Sheep are browsing on hills afar, And cattle in meadows look serene, Making a picture by paint unmarred Without a frame at all to clean. Gardens are blooming forth in rows, Lawns are ledged with shrubs in bloom, And altogether make a scene aglow, Which fades and passes all too soon: Men hie forth on picnic jaunts, To lake or stream where fish abound, While birds are scattered from their haunts y, shouts from children all around. But Stammer comes but once a year, So let us all find time to browse, Mid Nature's beauties glowing clear And thus our minds in new thoughts house. —MARTHA.
