"THE CASE OF YOUR NOSH AND
THE GRINDSTONE
If' your nose is dose to 'the grind-
stone, rough ,
And you hold •it down there long
enough,
In .time you'll say there is no such
thing
As brooks that bubble and birds that

These three will all your world comp

Just you and the grindstone, and

The time is coming along when
holidays must be considered, tomer-
row being the first day of June.
But as this column is principally
prepared for housewives, I can ima-
gine I hear a sort of a scornful snort
just here and someone say: "Holi-
days! What have I to do with hold,'
days? Holidays just mean more
work for me, as even if the children
are home from school and might be
expected to help mea little, they
usually snake more demands upon
me. The girls need summer clothing,
and want it it a hurry as they may
be going to visit someone, or they
may want to entertain some of their
friends, which certainly makes more
work, even though I'm perfectly wil-
ling to have them entertain their
friends. I want them to have a good
time when they're young. But what.
with the extra work on the farm,
the garden to attend to, the sumtner
sewing which never seems to be got
out of the way before the warm
weather comes, the usual canning,
etc,. I see no chance of a holiday for
me."
And so it appears to anyone who
looks at it in a common sense way,
which is the way I'm trying to view
:'ft,
r But, nevertheless, a holiday is just
what every. mother of a family and
housewife ought to have, and the
summer time is the logical and pros
per time to have it.
The mother in the household, no
matter how you make your measure-
ments, is the most important factor
in the place. It is she who keeps
things going smoothly; it is she who
makes it possible forthe head of the
house to do his important work. When
a farmer loses his wife and the care
of his home and his children is com-
mitted to someone hired to do the
job it usually means that, while the
expenses climb, the quality- of the
work deteriorates seriously. And
the result often is that the fanner
has to give tip altogether. Very few
men can manage a farm and a home
as well, although some have been
known to do it. Just as some women
have managed a home and a farm,
keeping the farm going with hired
help until her growing son is able to
take hold.
But, considering that the mother is
so important a factor, it is necessary
to see •that she is kept at the highest
point of efficiency and this can only be
done by seeing that her health is kept
up to the mark and to do this a
Change of activities occasionally is
imperative,
A woman's life is usually a good
deal more monotonous than a man's.
A titan, while he may work hard, can
usually count on getting out to mix
with his fellows at intervals of a
few days, at least. Ile may change

some change in his work and a lift to

Hippocrates the father of medicine
•:said "Largeness of person in youth
'is noble and not unbecoming; but in
• old age it is inconvenient and worse
than a smaller stature." From this
it is evident that overweight and un-
derweight are not now problems and
that while styles may change and
tastes differ, medical . opinion has
' been consistently in ,favour of the
young and plump and the old and
thin,
This attitude of medical science is
not an expression of artistic taste,
nor has it any aesthetic basis. It is
the cold unromantic truth' that slight'
overweight in youth is a health as-
set whereas it becomes a liability ae-
ter forty..
General statements must not be
interpreted literally in thein applica-
tion to individuals. There are, at all
ages, those who are alightly above
or below the average weight and, who
are, at the present time in good
health, 'In such cases, there is no
cause for• worry, nor 'is there any
reason for attempting to -increase or
lower weight.
When" the variation from the aver.
age is marked, then it is well to con -
eider the subject :not with alarm, but
simply to find out if there is any
abnormal condition responsible or if
it is a question of diet.
Weight is not dependent upon diet
alone. If• a person eats' too much he
- will put on weight and if he eats less
than his body requires he will lose
weight. There is also involved the
question of the groper digestion and
utilization of the foods that are eat-
en. Thin is linked up with all the
hygienic habits of life,
Children wito are definitely under-
weight are usually children who do
not secure sufficient rest. Their dies
may be faulty and they are likely
poor eaters. No one eats well when
tired and ridded rest will do more for
many of these children than anything..

of this group seldom complain cr.-

Men who build great cities own
Transmuted wealth of tree and stone;
But, oh, what magic worlds arise
Before a gardenbuilder's eyes!

Not tearfully,

Spin carefully
Spin prayerfully,
But leave the thread with God.

Than stings unjarred is quieter;
Not mute, but still, as tone to tone.

From a cold sky
Bub in my hands I hold n small and

As I turn a page and see
Tulips and scarlet poppies, burn
Their fires for me.
Across the winter's whiteness drifts
the misty red of peonies, !end

I warm my heart at a crimson rose.

THE DAY ENDS
As a tired mother when the day is
!o'er
Leads by the hand her little child
to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be
Ied,
And leaves Isis broken playthings on
the floor,'
Still gazing at them through the op-
en door,
Nor wholly roassurod and comfort-
ed
By promises of others in their stead
Which, though more splendid, may
not please him more;
So Nature deals with us and takes
away
Our playthings one by one and by
the band
Leads us to rest so gently that we
go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or
stay,
Being too full of sleep to under-
stand
How far the unmown transcends
the what we know.
Longfellow,
THANKS IN SPRING
A myriad new green leaves 'stir on
the hill,
And in the, wood the first small flow-
er face--
Anemone,

And columbine in 'yellow -,scarlet
grace.
The thresh returns to sing unstint-
ingly; r '
The wren is filled with undiminished
cheer;
The whole day long they pour their,
harmony
For everyone who turns a listening
ear.
The coffers of the sun .pour richly one
Unlimited gold coins upon the day;
A fragrant wind with an exultant
shout
Runs merrily along its chosen way.
I
Warm thanks well up within my
heart. to Thee,
Dear God, the source of all these
glorious things,
Of flower, of sun, of swelling bud and
tree,
And with the wren my inmost being
sings.

YOUTH
I used to think old age a desert land,
A place of broken dreams and faint
desires,
Of vanished friendships and of lonely
days
The banked grey ashes of life's early
fires.
But now as lightly down my foot-
steps go
Into that valley which they sayis
drear,
I find the banks are blue with violets,
And all the springtime birds are
singing here!
I used to think my heart would be
so sad
'Twould spill its tears to see another
smile,
But I am still a child of Laughter
Town,
Gay as the friend who walks with me
my mile!
I learn Soul is as ageless as the dawn,
That all Love's messengers around
Inc sing,
So walk serenely in a pleasant path,
Fall is the gentle replica of spring.
—Rose Willis Johnson.
TILE PATCHWORK QUILT
In patchwork is my garden set
Quilted 'with rows of mignonette,
And stitched with colored threads
that wear
The merriest haphazard air.
Zinnias, crimson, pink and pied,
Appear like ginghams, gaily dyed.
And ragged sailors make a show
Like remnants of blue calico.
A score of scarlet poppies spread
Their vividness lilce Turkey red;
While drifts of pale phlox' catch the
light
Lilce linen, soft and snowy white.
Calendulas with orange floss
Embroider monograms across
The grass; and pansies add a line
Of purple edging, fair and fine.
Both sun and rain have helped to sew
These scraps together in a row,.
And moonlight and the stars have
split
Their shining magic on this quit.
So, I am sure, in her wide. bed
Beneath it, Earth is comforted.

And her rustling doorways ever ajar

Of fair things blowing,
The thresholds of the four winds are.

She is making the songs and ` the

COMMON DAYS
How can we call them commeon, when
they come
With such great pomp and splendor
from the night
How can we move about them, blind
and dumbi,
When they are brimmed with music
and with light
How can we think then drab, these
days that bring
The iridescent glow of rain and sun,
Of open fires, and that shining thing
Some task to be well done?
No day is common -- I have walked
them through
And found the quick surprises of
the hours;
Some lovely, unexpected thing to do;
Some plain path's sudden blossom-
ing with flowers,
And always through my labor I have
found
Reward so rich, so full of love's
sweet praise,
I tread them softly, they are hallow+

There are no common days!

I have seen lips more meet for mai-

And eyes less shadowed with a vain

let
The tenant mirrors of my mind such

All other men reflect a smoky haze.
And in the murk their virtues I for.
•get.

When blowing fragrant to our least

For that unworthiness my poor mind
