We all have to be practical part

good old-fashioned winter season.
But since I can remember nothing

up and down my spine that those
coldly -practical people have.
I remember one of these . women,
an excellent housekeeper, One who
always got her washing out by eight

refreshment and satisfaction, even
though I had a healthy, young appe-

place.
And such people always frightened
me, I hated to have to talk to them,
for if one expressed an aspiration or
a longing one was brought to earth
with a jerk and made to feel that one
was little better than a halfwit.

me in good stead all through and
which will, I hope, continue to serve

was a wise man who said, "Where
there is no vision the people perish."
If we had no vision of something bet-
ter the world would not improve. We
need to keep seeing visions and en-

But practical people are needed
too. 'I notice that already people are

The Importance of
Milk
Children's meals should be built a-
round milk for it is a food which
makes valuable contribution to the
normal growth and hedlth of their
hapidly growing bodies. Milk not
only supplies proteins of highest'
quality for muscle building, fat and
sugar for heat and energy, vitainines
for protection, but is the most abun-'
dant source of calciuth and one of
the best sources of phosphorus, the
two minerals which form the foun-
dation of the bones and teeth. It is,
therefore, of paramount importance
that every child should have suffi-
cient milk to insure the development
of a firm set of teeth and of a well
constructed body framework.
Eminent authorities are agreed
that a child requires about a quart
of intik each day. This amount may;
be easily provided by serving milk as
a beverage and by using it freely in
making cream' soups, milk puddings
and other- nourishing dishes. Chil-
dren should be taught to drink intik
slowly and to take it at the end of the
meal, as they may neglect to chew
d thoroughly if they their r f o t or u' l o h o y drinlc
milk along with it,
The majority of children like to
drink, milk, but occasionally there is
a child who is not fond of milk, in
which case the mother is confronted
with a real problem. Patiently and
tactfully she must create a "milk
appetite" in the child, by . preparing
it in appealing ways. Good results
have been obtained,' particularly with
younger children, by using simple
methods such as these. allow them to
drink the milk through a straw;
change the, appearance and flavour of
the milk by adding a small amount of
chocolate, caramel or maple syrup,
fruit juice or honey; tell them inter-
esting stories which incidentally
bring out the value of milk; allow
them to serve themselves—a child
likes to be independent and enjoys
using his own pitcher and pouring
the milk into his glass; paste a col-
oured picture on the bottom of the
glass—the child is attracted by col-
our and will drink the milk in order
to see the picture which should be
changed frequently; children are
hero -worshippers --toll them about the
athletes and other well-known people
who drinlc milk in order to grow
strong,

For Home Facials Try
Almond Meal
Now that cold weather is here a
little more care is needed to keep the
complexion in good condition.
A facial mask treatment shrinks
enlarged pores, eliminates blackheads
and tightens sagging muscles, Of
course, a professional beauty salon
treatment is preferable to all other
kinds, but if the budget doesn't allow
for such luxury, a home treatment
will be sufficiently effective.
There are various types of home
masks that are fine for the skin and
it's a good play to try several before
you decide on just which one you're
going to use once a week henceforth.
But give almond meal at least one
trial. Easy to use and most benefic-
ial to the complexion, it finds favor
with business women and busy home-
makers. Simply mix a bit of almond
meal (you may buy it in any drug
store) with tepid water to form a
smooth but not too thin paste. Set
aside until time to apply.
First of all, clean the face and neck
with soapand water, cleansing
cream
or a liquid pore
cleanser. Then
spread a thick coat of almond meal
paste from the base of
Your throat
right on up over the face and fore-
head to the hairline. Lie down for 20
minutes or 'until the paste hardens,
When you get up, remove the mask
with cold water. Then put en a gen-
erous amount of tissue cream, pat it
in, remove with soft cleansing tissues
and pat the skin with cold shin tonic..
Then you're ready for foundation lo-
tion and make-up.
Younger Generation
Great Travellers
The rising generation will most
likely be more travel -conscious than
the preceding one, judging by the
increasing number of .children who
are sent between various points in
Canada. over Canadian National
lines, It is now quite a common sight
fora five, six, seven, or ten -year-old
girl, or boy, to get on the train at
Halifax ,and commence a journey to
the Pacific Coast or some point in
'W'estern Canada.
The children are placed in the care
of the sleeping car conductors and
these officials state the youngsters
never give any worry or trouble..
They are perfectly ,'contented and
usually pass the time playing with
their toys or looking'eut of the win-'
dew.' Often as not they become fav-
orites withthepassengers P g ss n ens in the
coach during the trip, Nabile en

THE SECRET OF GOOD
MANNERS
There Was a young lady who
wanted to know the secret of good
manners. She wanted to be so grac-
ious, se tactful, so thoroughly pre
cine and correct that no one could
find fault with anything she said or
anything she did, no matter what the
occasion. This young lady had' stud-
ied books on etiquette till she had all
the' common and accepted, rules of
conduct committed to memory. Yet,
she could not be sure, for she learn-
ed that etiquette :el -lenges as regular-
ly as styles and fashions. Things
that were exactly proper last year
may not be correct now.
So this young lady sought the ad-
vice of a wise man. And this is what
the wise man told her:
"My dear, you have asked me to
reveal the secret of good manners.
Really there is no secret to it. All
good manners please, bad manners
offend and that is all there can be to
it."
Thus did the young lady learn that
the unchanging rule of rightconduct
embraces the siinple qualities of
kindness, sympathy and -understand-
ing.
THE MINISTRY OF A SMILE
In the vestibule of a hospitalital vis-
itors see a card bearing this advice,
"Never utter a discouraging word
while you are in the hospital. Yon
should come here only for the purpose
of helping. Keep your hindering,
sad looks for other places, and if you
can't smile don't go in."
"If you can't smile don't. go 10."
It is good, advice for other than
hospital visitors. Who is beyond the
ministry of a kindly smile? • It is a
tonic to the discouraged. It helps the
child for whom the world holds so
much that makes afraid. and it cheers
the aged who find life unspeakably
lonely. As King Arthur's court was
built by music, so the happier life
for which we all hunger here upon
earth is built in large part by the
cheerful faces we see as we bear the
load appointed for us.
Smiles are as indispensable to true
success in life as money, mind and
might. As long as a man •can smile
be is not beaten, Not in hospitals
only, then, but in the home and the
street there is call for the kindly,
sunny smile. The way to have it is
to get the heart right with God, and
then turn our eyes to the light, for
the smile that helps the smile of hea-
ven, kindling joy and hope,

namely, a good 'healthy seream. An
incident to prove this occurred at
Meaford . on Monday, when a lone

Hepburn and the Ontario minister of

speakers at several functions in con-
nection with the event.
He spoke briefly of the need for
establishment of small 'hospitals,
Serving large ureas, and explained
that the grants toward these would
be met fromthe saving of $800,000
in interest cost of provincial debts,
Of the 886,000 'spent on tubercu-
losis hospitals in Northern Ontario
which serve a radius of 40,0' miles, he
declared that it was money well spent

NOVEMBER
November weeps; for summer flow-
ers are dead
And bright -hued leaves have all
been blown away.
The sun is hid behind a sky of lead,
And gone the feathered guests of
yesterday.
The autumn winds move sighing
through the trees,
Crooning a lullaby, "Sleep, sleep
and rest;"
"Rest, rest and sleep," is wafted on
the breeze,
"The time for sleep has come," and
it is best.
x.,ife has been bright and gay, with
sunny sky;
Soft winds set dancing all the love-
ly flowers;
Song birds made tuneful days that
hastened by,
And summer rain has gladdened
with its showers.
And now November comes and croons,
"Good night"
"Sweet dreams to all the flowers,
seeds and treee."
"Good-bye," to all the lovely things
of. earth,
For resting time has come to all of
these. --Margaret A. McCool.
