At this season oe the year, no mat- - tee how gay we may appear, no mat- ter what activities claim -our atten- tion- in the back of our minds is al- ways a memory of that llth of No- vember, sixteen years ago, when the ' horror of a four-year war cane to an end and a load lifted from our hearts and we began to look up and smile and feel happy again. No woman who lived through those. four years, and especially those whose husbands, sons or brothers were in. 'the thick of it, has ever been able to- look olook on life just as she did before; ' the experiences of those years seared themselves upon her heart in such a way that size has never been able to forget. And when this season comes around we cannot but think of the , brave boys who did not come back, the brave boys who came back and who have since fallen victims to their disibilities or who still suffer from then, and also of the boys who came back, who have tried to re-establish themselves and have failed, in the stress and strain of the past few years, and are now in such case that -they almost envy those "who ]ie rn Flanders fields." Many have suffered during the past years of industrial stress, and many amongst these sufferers were return- ed men, whose years of soldiering unfitted them for ordinary citizens ship, and they were often the first to be laid off, or to lose control of their own business if they had one, or to fail in some undertaking to- which they had turned. No amount of fret- ting can restore those whose lives were snuffed out in battle, but we can, sometimes, at least, do something to brighten the lives of those who are left. Let us endeavor to keep this in mind as we go along each day and when an opportunity comes to do a kind turn or raise a helping hand for a returned man let us do it. In this way we shalt be honouring the mem- ory of those who did not return. "At the gong down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them." -- 10BEKAH. W'INGHAM: Following the anni- versary services held at the United. Church on Sunday the ladies of the Woman's Association had a very sue- cessful fowl supper on Monday even- ing when 750 attended, exceeding ex. pectations owing to the very disa- greeable day. The tables very dain- tily arranged and with the commod- ious accommodation, the crowd was very easily handled. Following the supper a program was presented in the church with the pastor, Rev. J. F'. Anderson, presiding, Cameron Ged- des, baritone soloist, of Lucknow, and well-known to radio audiences, favor- ed with a 'number of selections, ac- companied by Miss Tena Reid. Mrs. W. Van Wyck, local entertainer, who is also another favorite, gave several readings. A comparatively new local entertainer was Gordon Davidson, with his piano accordion, and favored with appropriate selections, jfeit „.., ttfashion J'I; mike OF Tilt ducat Aionc atii n and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.D., Assoeiate Secretary THE SANATORIUM "Not where he is but what he does will determine whether he gets well" writes one author on the subject of treatment of tuberculosis. The same author agrees that the sanatorium is the best place for treatment be- , cause it is there that the patient 'learns •best what he should and what he should not do. Many who become i11 cling to their homes and resent the idea ofremoval from their family and,: the home sur- roundings. They are somewhat fear- ful of an institution, and they have no desire to meet new people or to be under the care of strange doctor and nurses. There was a time when the loco tion of the sanatorium was consider- ed to be an important point, We know now thatclimate is of relatively lit- ••tle importance in the treatment of tuberculosis. Some patients do bet- ter in one climate than in another, '.but there is no general rule 011 this subject. The air should be clear, and free fromsrnolce, dust and odours. One of the reasons in favour of sanatorium care is that in sanator- ium; the patient finds it easier to form the new habits of life which he must practise if he is to recover and maintain his health, because he is • with others who are doing the same thing. The sanatorium staff is com- posed of ,individuals, who are devot- ing their lives to the fight against tuberculosis. Naturally, in the san- r, atorium are found the special skills Care sof Children Household Economics uesd to combat the disease, While it is true that the sanatorium regime may be copied in the home, it is impossible to be in the home, even when confined to bed, and escape the worries of the household, the advice of visitors, the noise of the streets and the ringing of the telephone bell. Rest—physical and mental—ds what is required, and in very few homes is it possible to give the patient 'that. complete physical relaxation and freedom from worry which are re- quired during the early part of his treatment. There are other advantages in the sanatorium for the patient, and over and above all those is the protection that the patient's stay in sanaoriutn affords his family. Tuberculosis is spread from the sick to the well. it is believed that no-one under sixteen years of age should be allowed to live in the same'home with an active case of tuberculosis, because of the danger of infection. The patient in sanatorium is no source of danger to his family. It is this security which. decides many fathers and mothers. to accept, temporary separation front their families in order to protect, their children. In . sanatorium too, they will learn how to live so as not to spread the disease when they're- tern to their holies: Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter.

Not alone with praise today, The beat of drums, the slow proces- sional, Old Songs, old tears, the bugle's final call— ,These that have gone have found a wiser way; Passed belroncl maddened warfare, and the blind Futility of strife that leads to strife, If they remember, in some richer lire, Now they must mourn the mockery of mankind! Remember! There is youth for wast- ed youth, • There are tomorrows for sots yet to be; Must they, too, drink the bitter cup,• that we P' sl]ed 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. -•F. B. T. THE DEAD Blow out, 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 u p the years to be Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene That mCn call age; and those who 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 comeback, as a 'king, to' earth. And paid his subjects with a royal wage; And Nobleness walks in our ways again; And we have come' into our heritage. —Rupert Brooke.

No, I'll not name the others, • They only shared the common, gal- lant fate. Let the names go; they let life go so lightly, Why drag them down with clumsy words let fall By one particular grief?

LAMENT We who are left how shall we look again Happily on the sun or feel the rain Without remembering how they who went Ungrudgingly and spent Their lives for us, loved, too, the sun and., the rain? A bird among the rain -wet lilac sings-- But ings—But we, how scall we turn to little things And listen to the birds and winds and streams Made holy by their dreams, • Nor feel the heart -break in the heart of things. :Wilfred Willson Gibson. REMEMBER In Flanders Fields we do not Ile Where poppies grow and larks will fly, Forever singing as they go Above the bodies, row on row, Of those whose duty was to die. We are the maimedl Death did deny Its solace. Crippled, blind, we try To find on earth the peace they know In 'Flanders Fields. Forget us notl As years go by, On your remembrance we rely For love that sees the hearts below Our broken bodies. .Else we grow ' ' 'To crave our peace with those who lie In Flanders Fields. W. B.

GODERICII: Although many miles away from home on a business trip, Charles. Wllurtele, president of the Goderich 'Salt, Company, did not for- get the kiddies on Hallowe'en night. Long distance instructions resulted in over 200 children of this town being treated to soft drinks, apples, can- dies, etc., which were handed out lib :orally from, the Wurtele residence. Milk In The School Lunch When a child must carry his or her lunch to school it should be carefully planned for, after all, it is one of the three meals of the day and should, therefore, provide its share of food requirements. Milk should be included in some form in every child's lunch to avoid a daily shortage of the food so necessary for the growing girl and boy. The milk may be carried in a screw-top jar or ther- mos bottle, or it may be more con- venient to have a supply of milk de- livered each day to the school. When snaking a milk pudding for the members of the family who are ae home for the noonday meal, it is an easy natter, during the cold months, especially, to set a serving aside in a sznaIl glass jar for the next day's school lunch box. Wherever possible, particularly during the winter months, arrangements should be made to provide one hot dish at school to supplement the cold foods brought from home. Many milk dish- es such as create soups, cocoa, cream- ed vegetables, cereals, eggs or meat are easily prepared, cost little, and will add materially to the nourish- ment and satisfaction derived from the school lunch, A thermos bottle does not cost much and is a fine thing for the school lunch, where no provis- ion is made at the school for provid- ing hot dishes. • COUNTY NEWS DUNGANNON; A joint gathering of the Junior Farmers' Club and Jun- ior Institute held in the Parish Hall oe Monday, week, was a very en- joyable event.
