HEALTH CARE OF CHILDREN CONTRIBUTIONS Sometime -s summer appetities are fickle and the Housewife is put to it to find anything which will please her family. Here's- something new to try on them:, The Brantford Expositor recently drew attention to the fact that for a century and a • half the wife of the. President of the United States has been asked to present one of her beau- tiful dresses, one which • she wore on state occasions,. no doubt; to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington for the educational benefit of future generations And it has been noted that the dresses are becoming longer and longer, the women of today being taller than those of a hundred years ago. Of course, women of the same gen- eation differ greatly in size, and it might not mean much that Dogs! Maddison's dress was shorter, for in- stance, than Mrs. Coolidge's. But it may be that women are growing tal- ler and larger in every way. Indeed, it'would be strange if they did not develop physically, the way girls have been taking ,to muscular sports. It must be very much better for the health and . development of a girl's physical frame to spend hours in the air and sunshine, as the modern girl does, even though she may overdo it a little, than to spend •these hours hiding away from the sun and air for fear of spoiling her complexion. She is much more likely to develope a healthy body wearing loose and com- fortable clothing than her grand- mother while lacing in her waist and wearing 'three 'or four petticoats. A HOT MEAL Red Hot Crown Hot Potato :Salad . • Buttered Green Peas Sliced Tomatoes Stuffed Peaches With Meringue Fankfurters are going up in so- ciety. Serve a crown roast made with therm. Red Hot Crown Choose large frankfurters of uni- form size. Thread these onto a string so that they form the shape of a crown; with the concave side of the frankfurters toward the outside. A- round the centre, fasten three or four slices of bacon pinned securely with tooth picks. Fill the centre with a savory bread dressing and bake un- covered in a moderate oven until the frankfurters are puffed and the dressing heated through. Serve at once. Any kind of a bread dressing may be used with the frankfurters. Here is one which is very good. One-fourth pound of bulk sausage, 1/.r cup of grated onion, 2 frankfur- ters, sliced, 1 loaf of bread finely diced, 1 egg, salt and pepper, meat stock to moisten. Brown the sausage and the grated onion together. Add the remaining ingredients. Moisten enough to hold the dressing together. Pack into the frankfurter crown and heat. And if women are developing more healthy bodies that is good news for the future of the race. Healthy moth- ers are likely to bear healthy chil- dren. The human body can stand a lot of punishment and still survive, but with all the improvement in san- itation, in the understanding of hy- giene, in the nature and use of foods, the health of the race certainly ought to improve. And it maybe im- proving, slowly but surely. A Toronto man told ane=nt 1png ago that at a father and sop golf tournament in which he took part he noted that in each case the son was taller than the father. That might have just happen- ed, of course, we know many sots Min are not as -tall as their fathers, but it well May be that the health of the race is improving. Anyway, the womanwho faints whenever anything goes wrong has no place in the mod- ern picture.

An Arctic Romance Ends In Wedding A despatch from Edmonton says that a northland romance which start- ed in the tiny hospital at Aklayilc, N. W.T., close to the Arctic Ocean, was culminated there on Saturday, Au- gust 8, with the marriage of Miss Ruth Hamilton, nurse at the hospital, and George Paterson, a patient. Graduate of - a Toronto hospital, Miss Hamilton, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. 3'. Hamilton, of Bethany, On- tario, cared for Mr. Patterson when he was brought to the hospital with leg injuries. . While he was there, the late Will Rogers, screen -and. stage comedian who was touring, the north, presented to him a 8100 cheque be- cause the visitor admired the courage of the patient, whose leg had been amputated because of an injury suf- fered when it was caught in the haw- ser of a northland boat. Following the marriage, the couple will reside at Waterways, Alberta. Miss Hamilton has been visiting in the -east . since a fire destroyed the Aklavik Hospital last April. Pare and cut in halves the peaches. Crack one peach stone. Pound the kernel to a pulp. Crush the mace - mons. Hollow the peach halves slightly. Combine the kernel, the macaroons, the peach pulp and egg yolks, Fill the peach halves with this mixture. Bake them in a moderate oven, 350 degrees, until they are ten- der. Make a meringue for the top of two egg whites, three tablespoons of sugar, and one-half teaspoon; of vanilla. Pile lightly on the peaches and brown in a slow oven. • THE OLD THIRD READER (Continued from page 3) glory." • There were flashes of light through such gloom as this. The poem was wholesome—for all its sadness. "The Road to the Trencces," too,. was simple and salutary : "One more gone for England's sake Where so many go Lying down without complaint Dying in the snow." The picture of endurance did us no harm.. The words "Where so many go" used to touch us vaguely Cer- tainly many— all too many — went somewhere. "The Burial of Moses" next cotn- mancled our grave attention. It.. -was unlike the burial of Sir John Moore -more strange—more'awful: "For bad he not high honour The hill -side for his pall, To lie in state while angels wait With stars for tapers tall, And the dark rock -pines, like tossing plumes Over his bier to wave, And God's own hand ,in that lonely land To lay him in' his grave." The last death -scene in the book was that of "The May Queen." The poem was sweet and very sad with the sweetness and sadness which children love, but, I believe, it was unwholesome for them. Sickness' herein was made so rhythmically at- tractive that children, knowing noth- ing o1 its prosaic side, were all too likely to cultivate the semblance of fragility end finally to attain to a .state of genuine disease, through their admiration of the gentle who could look forward with rapture to being, "Forever and forever all in a blessed •home, And there to wait a little while till you and Effie ease— • To lie within the light of 'God as I lie upon your breast, Where the wicked cease from troub- ling and the weary are at rest." "How beautiful," says Carlyle, "to die of a broken, heart — out paper! Flow different in reality! What of the foregone soul drowning slowly in quagmires. of disgust—a whole drtig- shop in bis inwards?" What indeed? Perhaps all of us saw a little too Much ,dying -on paper -while passing through the vicissitudes of the third grade. ' I have not touched here on the dis- asters that didn't occur or on those that were but vaguely recorded. There war a lesson on "Volcanoes" in which nmch loss of life was alluded to; a poem called "After Blenheim" where- in• a peasant is `portrayed ploughing up skulls; a'selection yclept"A Her- row Escape" and proparly so yclept the 'un- with the cries of tb • it dealt nP jun- gle;, and others which made our hearts stand still with dread of what might happen next—john Gnl Pin for instance —none of us expected to see that re- nowned gentleman safely home after his perilous ride. How come it that John was permitted to escape when many who were younger and stronger than he was cutdown as cucumbers But we, left him alone with his of the ground? Little Marygold, too,: who turned into a golden image and was brought back to life by the appli- cation of water (so fatal in other cases). And Elihn of the Gray Swan, "who went to sea the minute I put him off my knee," and ought to have been drowned for his twenty years of filial inattentiveness — but wasn't. These are single instances of merci- ful preservation in the midst of crowding catastrophe. It is hard to know just where to place such selections as "The • Old Arm -Chair" and "Rock Me to Sleep," two poems dedicated to the memory of the dead. To me and my compan- ions many years ago they were, in effect, as drear and desolating as the others, though not acutal records of death. In all that repertoire of gloomy melody, there is struck but once the note of optimism. It it to be heard in: "There's a good time coining, boys, A good time coming, We may not live to see the clay, But earth shall glisten in the ray Of the good time coming." From the light-hearted jingle we received the assurance that the fog would some day lift. By means of it a generation of Ontario children have kept a gleans of hope its their hearts while' passing through that Valley of Despair—the Third Class. We have—most of us --lived "to see the day." It has already more than dawned. A lovely, new, ,stn h inYy Third Reader has risen above the eas- tern horizon. To it we look for the scattering of our gloom. We may not, not without tears (of joy) bid a gloomy, yet glad farewell to our venerable and melancholy friends. SAYS FEMINISM IS CO-OPERATION French Speaker Urges Union of Men and Womenin the Professional Fields THE IDEAL WIFE OF 1761 Ladies, here is something worth your consideration . What constitutes a good housewife? We know, of course, that you, and you, and you, have bought up your families ade- quately, and can sew and darn, and entertain your husband's business friends, just as well as your own club acquaintances. But could you fill the bill for the perfect wife as set down in the qualifications for the faultless spouse in 1761? Here ndbre the niain points necessary for the wife of that day to be considered sufficiently wifely; THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songli—Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad-.

With regard to complextion she must be not quite fair but a little brown and young by all means. She must have a decent share of common sense, tinctured with just a little seasonable repartee and a small modicum of wit; but positively no learning upon any consideration eith- er modern or ancient. She should not be critically skilled in her own tongue. She must have a proper knowledge of accounts and arithmetic, but no sort of skill at fractions. She must have a little ear for music and a capability of a little song in company, but'not be fond of the gui- tar. She must be handy with her needle, but more devoted to plain sewing than to fine. She must not spend all her time in the parlor, but sometimes be in the kitchen, and with a bit of skill in the art of cooking. She should have in conversation a little lisp, but no stammer. • She should have an acquaintance with domestic news, but none whatev- er with foreign affairs. And last but by no means least — she must be decently but not affect - wily silent. - Paris.—Woman's right to work is more important than her right to vote, Mine. Cecile Brunschwig, French Under Secretary of State for Educa- tion, told Congress of the Internation- al Federation of Business and Profes- sional; Wonien here recently. "Feminism is not a struggle, but intelligent co-operation between the sexes," she said. "A wise policy is a union of risen and women in the pro- fessional fields." The Under Secretary's speech fol- lowed an address of welcome by Pierre Vienot, French Foreign Under, Secretary,' who paid tribute to Prete nnier Blinn for including three women in his People's Frond Government. Vienot was the only -male, attending the Congress. Miss Lena Mabesin Phillips, Presi- dent of the federation and a prcomin- ent New York attorney, outlined the aims of the organization in an ad*. dress closing the session. "The central purpose of this organ- ization is to protect and to promote the economic and professional interest of business and professional women, and to secure united action by them,". she said. University Coat of Aims Univercity.of Western On• tarso has five academic buildings, namely, Main Building, Science Building and Library Building for the College of Arts, a Medical School Building and a building for the Faculty and Institute of Public Health. There are between six and seven thousand students in the secondary schools of Western Ontario who are qualifying for university mat- riculation. -A Larger proportion of these students should seek the advantages of a higher education. The courses range in length from threeto six years. The degrees are B.A., B.Sc., I.L.B., M.A., M.Sc., M.D., D.P.H:f C.P.H.N. In 1935.36 there were 2480 students enrolled. App&cations for registration should be submitted as early as possible. Students should come to the University prepared , to pay their tuition and diving expenses in full and should not depend on ' getting work during -their spare. time.

FRIENDLY TREES 0 dreamy, gloomy, friendly trees, I carne along your narrow track ,To bring my gifts unto your knees, And gifts did You bring back; For when I brought this heart that burns— These thoughts that bitterly repine— And laid them here among the ferns And the hum of boughs divine, Ye, vastest breathers of the air, Shook down with slow and mighty poise Your coolness on the human care, Your wonder on its toys; Your greenness on the heart's des-, pair, Your darkness on its noise. —Herbert Trench.

'Another Province To - Sell Graded Butter - On and after September 1, 1936, all package creamery butter sold to con- sumers. in the Province of Ontario must have the grade of the butter clearly indicated on the wrapper in less than letters notone-quarter of an inch square . The grades are First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade and No Grade. This means that, while stores may use a brand name, the grade -mist also be shown in accord- ance with Regulations 27 and 28 of the Dairy Industry Act of Canada. Butter will be sold by grade for do- mestic use on and after September 1' in five of the Provinces of Canada, namely, Ontario, NIanitoba, Saskat- chewan, Alberta and British Colum- bia.. It has been in effect in the Western Provinces for more than a year. At the last session of the On- tario Legislature the. necessary legis- lation was passed making the Regula- tions of the Dairy Industry Act refer- red to applicable to the grading of creamery butter, sold in Ontario. This action followed the formal pro- clamation published in the Canada Gazette of August. 1, fixing August 15 as the date the grading regulations shall become effective. In order, ,how- ever, to give merchants an opportun- ity to clear- any stock of package but- ter on hand and to enable them to become:faniliar with the new require- ments, it has. been decided by the Dominion Department of Agriculture not to take any action until after September 1. • The new measure means that con- sumers will -merely have to look ikt the wrapper to know the quality of the butter offeredfor sale. It is expected that in the course of es in which rousse time. the four - p creamery package butter is not sold by grade, will pass the necessary leg- islation and: make these regulations effective. About 25 per cent of the creamery butter made in 'Canada last year, a- mounting to 38,854,600 pounds, was: produced in Ontario. �'
