Pin tired of tables, chairs; I'm tired of walls that hedge me all 'ablaut; '.I'm tired of rooms and ceilings, car- pets, stairs. And so—Ian going out Somehow or other what 1 need today Are skies and birds .that carol, winds that shout! I want Dame Nature's friendship. Thus I say: "Good-bye—I'rn going out!" It's just housetiredness. Trivial hum- drum strain! Monotony! But when I've climbed the hill My heart refreshed will laugh and sing again. Dear home! I'll love it still! —Ian Drag. "The time of the singing of birds is eome, and the, voice of the turtle is heard in the land." I never have heard the "voice of the turtle," and it may be a very intriguing sound, but certainly the birds are here . and they do make e good hearing for people who have been housed -up all the long winter. It is no wonder at all tbat people want to get out into the sunshine; to feel the refreshing breezes upon theirs faces and have the sound 'of the birds' songs in their ears. Usually it is understood that bus- inessmen, students, school children those who are confined so much, need . an outside holiday, and Friend Businessman manages to arrange a little outing to the golf course, the trout stream or some other such outing every so often, thestudents and school .children have their long summer . holidays, but often the housewife is forgotten. Her need of a holiday is not so seriously consid- ered •and very often she is the ons most in need of it. Mrs. Housewife should take this matter in her own hands and, in- sist upon something in the way of a holiday, an, occasional outing for herself. Her work is about' as ex. acting and as monotonous as any. thing could well be, doing the same thing over and over again each day But the work of the housewife is so important that she cannot afford to just lay it down and walk off and leave it. Although, occasionally, it might be all right to do just that, for an lame or so, Coming back re- freshed for her tasks. But it is pos- sible to create little changes even in the routine of work which makes a ehange, and any change from th. routine when it becomes a monotony is beneficial. Plans should be made to be out- side as much as possible all summer Prepare vegetables, do mending and sewing in the open air, Most homes have some shady corner where this can be done. Serve the meals in the open occasionally serving simple menues which can bie carried out without much trouble, and sit out just as Hauch as possible. It will pay in renewed health of body and mind. --RTlBES'AH, it fivic OF THE. attabi&tthsbirttl,A, ooaittirrn and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. Edited by GRANT FLDMING, M.D., Associate Secretary STOMACH TROUBLE Sweeping statements are danger- ous because they are usually too em- phatic and also because, as they arr. general, they ignore what is unusual but important. Nevertheless, we find it necessary to make a sweep- ing statement . to the effect that most stomach trouble, •usually de- scribed as "indigestion," does not -:come from the stomach itself 'but Is due to the person who owns' the stomach. First of all, let us qualify our rep narks by stating that 'appendicitis, gall -bladder' infection and ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, .unfortun- ately exist only too often: They cause stomachtrouble, and the only way to' cure' such' 1 minis of • stoinach tamable' is to treat the appendix, gall- bladder or ulcers. Leaving these, and; returning to ':g the ;statement that it is the person who owns the stomach, rather • than the stomach itself • who -1s to blame; we say' that; .11Y fat; 'th'e' 'roost' com- mon causes of stomach ,trouble are emotional upsets,. fatigue, and 'lack. of moderation in eating. Everyone knows that fear may make the throat dry, and also, that the mouth actually waters at . the smell . or sight of attractive foode. The stomach too waters at the same time as the fr diit'l This watering mouth and stomach , is there 'pro- per preparation, • for •the.. reception and digestion .of food. • It does. not occur when we ar'e angry, worried, tired, or disgusted. The stomach and the intestines have strong muscular walls which contract, forcing the food contents of these organs along "It' has `been • shown by X-ray .examinations that excitement, worry, tenseness, or oth- er strong emot Dual influences `will, stop the muscular activity of the di- gestive tract; and so bring digestion to an end; thus, the upset which fol- lows the hurried lunch or a rush for the train may be accounted for. During tie period of digestion, the. stomach receives an extra supply of blood as does any organ at a time when it is most active, If this re- quired extra blood supply is diverted away from the stomach by too much. aetivity, such as games, et cetera, shortly after meals, it follows that trouble may be expected.. A great number of people believe that they are unable to eat some par- ticular food. Most ": of these beliefs have grown out of an unhappy asso- eietion with the food hi question. Digestion may have been faulty for any one of a number of reasons, but ever after, the particular food which is blamed for the; upset is regarded ivith fear and suspicion, which, in turn,'inay cause trouble if that food is taken. The fussy, apprehensive person is sure to have digestive trou- ble. Seim foods arc ni.ore readily di- gested than others, but unless the stomach . is overloaded, at one time, with foods that aro difficult to di- gest, in the sense that it takes- time for the gastrie juice to penetrate or that the food% are fibrous, rough or. irritating, we can say that :foods do' rat; 'as a rule, cause stomach trete ole. • Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by Care of Children Household Economics Doings In Adjacent Townships During Week TUCICERSMITB_ The June meeting of the Tucker smith Ladies' Chub was held at the home of Mrs. Frank Walters with twenty-five'amembers and five visitors present.

On sunny days when there is a chance of drying af- ter: a dip, 20 or 30 pigeons suddenly swoop upon the fountain. The pig- eons at once begin to form queues on the right-hand side of the trough. The queue extends back over the edge of the step 021 to the step bes low, and curves around 'corners Like a theatre queue. One or two formid- able pigeons marshal the ranks. The first pigeon enters the• trough, splashes through it, and emerges dripping on the left side, where he waits to watch the fun. Bird after bird follow, and the smallest effort to disobey bath etiquette is instantly punished, The two "policemen," as the bank messengers call the senior pigeons, drag out any pigeon who tries to linger beyond reason in thr• water.

Songs—Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad— But Always Helpful and Ins pilling - FRIENDLY HOUSES I love a little friendly house That nestles in the trees, Where tall and stately hollyhocks Nod -with every breeze. A little house where windows clean Are sashed with blue, They seem to beckon gaily, And say, "Come in, won't you?" And if some day you' did go in I'm very sure you'll find Within that little friendly house Some one sweet and kind. And perhapsif you are weary, Because the road is long, That some one in the little house Would cheer you with a song. It takes a world of love and faith ' To build these homes so dear; I'm certain in the building That God was very near. —Doris C. Crain. ** PRAYER OF AN UNEMPLOYED MAN Here in the quiet of my room, 0 God, I come to Thee for friendship; to feel That Some One is with me, though unseen. All day I have seen a multitude of people, But I am still lonely and hungry for human cheer. No life has touched mine in under- standing; No hand has clasped mine in friend- ship; My heart is empty and my hands are idle; Help me to feel Thy presence, So that the disappointment of this day Shall not overwhelm toe. Keep me warm and human, and set a new faith Before my eyes --a new hope to live by. And a new spirit with which to over- come discouragements. Abide with me and be my friend. In the name of Him who went about Doing good. Amen. --Ws C, Ackerly, in the New Era (Australia). TESTIMONY My garden bears testimony to divin- ity 1 sow the seed, itself a mystery Invoke the graces of the sun; Implore the ministry Of the rain; and yet, when this is done It is God Who tbrusts up Through the imprisoning clod Miraeles of emerald leaf and radiant bloom Fashioned of fabrics from a hea- venly loom Surely noiio but God can Within a seed's pin point of space Pack a blue -print of the cosmos' swaying grace Or, from a dry brown root release The phlox in all its still white peace. He hangs the rose upon the thorn Ansi lifts the lily's samite cup Brimmed with the dewy nectar of the morn It is God alone, knowing infinity May be so prodigal of beauty That he gives to the errant winds the. PePPy And the rose, or yields to winteras devastating hold Autumn's arabesque of flame and gold. —Eva *ad Turner. LOVE..:. . I love you Not only for what you are, But for whet I am when •T am 'with yelp. I love you For the part of me That you bring out. I love you, For putting your hand into my heap- ed up heart And passing over all the foolish, weals things That you can't help dimly seeing there, And far bringing out, into the light, All the beautiful !belongings That no one else had looked quite fax enough To find,... T love. you, Because you are helping me to make Of the lumber of any life, Not a tavern ... but a temple! Out of the works of my every day, Not a reproach ... but a song. And you have done it without a word) Without a touch, without a -sign; You have done it by being yourself. —Royeroft. THE COUNTY CHURCH He could not separate the thought Of God from daisies white and. hot, In blinding thousands by a road, Of dandelion disks that glowed Like little suns upon the ground. Holiness was like the sound Of thousands of tumultuous bees in fullbhossomed apple trees, Or it was smell of standing grain, Or robins singing in the rain. For the Church he went to when He. was eight and nice and ten, And good friends with the trees and sun, Was a small tvhite country one. The caraway's lace parasols Brushed the clapboards on the walls, The grass flowed round it east and west, And the one blind had a robin's nest. Before the sermon was half over, ' It turned to fragrance of red clover. May and June and other weather The farmers' wives cane in together, At every window swung a bough; Always, far off, someone's cow Lowed and lowed at every pause. The rhythms of the mighty laws That keep men going to their graves Wiese no holier than the waves The wind made in the tasseled grass A small boy saw through window glass. —Robert P. Tristram in Harper's Ma- gazine. A PAINTED SCROLL OF SUMMER Between the sunburnt fields of grain The feathered pear -trees step in rows, And bluer than its jeweled name The sentient sapphire water blows, Along a ridge the angled pines Repeat their inky accent lines. Here is a birchtree Iike a bird; There a white heron like a tree Stands in the shallows quietly. But when a sudden noise is heard The heron curves its wings to fly And blossoms on the sunny sky, —Bertha Ten Eyek James in Poetry, READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS ' IN THE NEWS -RECORD "When 1 could not Bleep at night with. baby's cries, it was Baby's .Own Tablets that cleared the little system of offeuding substance and gave sweet sleep and rest."
