little of Christmas cheer, should en-

It is a sorry thing that anyone,
most of all' little children, should
lack all the little things which snake

our best to see that some others have

Various Kinds of
Cheese
There are probably about 250 dif-
• ferent kinds of cheese made through-
out the world, and new types are
introduced from time to time, but
the Canadian factory cheese which
has been made pre-eminent in the
markets of the world is practically
'confined to the • Cheddar type.
Cheese is made from whole -milk,
skim -milk, or milk which has been
practically skimmed. It is also made
from cream and from whole -milk to
which cream is added. The different
kinds or types are roughly divided in-
to hard or pressed cheese, and soft
or =pressed. Another class is the
mouldy or blue -veined cheese, like
Stilton, Roguefort, and Gorgonzola.
The hard varieties include Cheddar,
Cheshire, Swiss, Edam, and other
less known kinds. Among the soft
varieties, the most prominent. are
Camembert, Brie, 'Limburger, Pont
l'Eveque, Gervais, Neufchatel, and
many kinds of cream cheese.
The hard or pressed varieties are
slow in ripening. ' Some of them, like
Cheddar, Swiss, or Cheshire, do not
reach prime condition until they are
about a year old. Soft varieties are -
usually made in small sizes and rip
• en more quickly. .Some kinds, such

and treated at least twice a year.
It was also essential that the 'child
should have plenty of rest and sleep,
fresh air and happy play. A. tiny,
single row toothbrush should be used
for the baby, and a small brush for
the two year-old. The brush head
should never be larger' than 1i14 •in-
ches, the tufts of ;bristles should be
medium stiff and set far apart. The
dentifrice used should be a normal
solution of salt, half a level teaspoon-
ful of salt to a glass of cool, boiled
water. After the age of two, if de-
sired, an unmedicated tooth paste
might be used. The toothbrush should
be used as soon •as the first eight
teeth were fully erupted, a very tiny
soft bristle brush might be used in
combination with the gauze or cotton
with which the mother cleanses the
mouth of the child. Proper food and
a clean mouth go go far in insuring
sound teeth.
as cottage cheese (made from sour
milk), cream cheese, and Neufchatel,
are ready for use almost as soon as
made. The predominant Canadian
cheese is the factory made Cheddar
type, but there are other kinds man
ufactured in Canada. The. Trappist
monks at Oka, Quebec, make a cheese
of medium texture 'and pronounced
flavor which is known as "Oka"
cheese, while in the Isle of Orleans
the process of manufacturing From:,
age Raffine has been handed down
from generation to generation for
the past 300 years. Various agricul-
tural colleges make a comparatively
small quantity of Stilton, cream and
other soft varieties, and there are a
few private makers of these types
of cheese.
Care of Children's
Teeth
The American Dental Association
recently sent out a list of suggestions
to parents on the care of children's
teeth. One drew attention to the im-
portance of caring for the first teeth
for the reason that the child needed
them to chew food. All were in use
for the first six years and part of
them as long as ten years of the
child's life.
The parents should see to it that

CHILBLAINS. 1
When winter conies, chilblains be- ,
• gin to afflict those who are not in
.good health, whose circulation is ,
poor and whose clothing is possibly
insufficient. Byfar the most con -1
mon- locations for chilblains is the
feet, but neither the hands nor the
ears escape.
At the point where the chilblatn
'develops, there is, first of all, 'a
tingling sensation, then itching. A
blister, which has a purplish tinge,
forms over the area. This blister is
painful and when it, breaks, an open
sore . is left which is slow to heal.
To avoid chilblains, the feet must
be protected and kept warm by shoes
'-and stockings which are neither so
tight as to interfere with circulation,
nor so thin as to allow for chilling of
• the feet.' Tightly -fitting shoes with
thin soles, over thin stockings, invite
trouble, as do' stockings which are so
heavy as to cause the feet to per-
spire.
When the hands and feet are chit,
led, they should be kept away from
open fire -place, stove or .radiator. A
sudden change from cold to excessive
• warmth causes a rush of blood to the
parts which have been chilled, and
-this leads to irritation, followed by
chilblains.
Under such circumstances, suppos
"ing it is the feet which are cold, the
-proper procedure is to remove shoes

Article No. 1
We were talking—a friend and I—
,
about the tragedy of men and wo-
men who, upon graduation from a uni-
versity, cannot find employment, just
because there are not enough white-
collar jobs these days for the thous-,
ands of young people who are eager
fpr them. In the course of our con
versation my friend said that he had
somewhere in his home a newspaper
clipping containing the report of a
very remarkable address given by a
university professor to a body of his
students on the occasion of their
graduation. My feiend found this
4Qipping-very yellow and brittle—
and I am going to reproduce a goodly
portion of what this, sagacious pro-
fessor said. The professor's name is
not stated by the teller of the inci-
dent of the banquet and the address,
which seems pity.
jek
"Genitemen," began the guest
speaker at the graduation banquet,
"I never made a 'speech in my life,
and I do not intend to begin now. I
have something, however, to say. We
are in one of the famous banqueting
halls of the world. 'Belshazzar's Hall
compared to this was a lodging on the
third floor back. No such art as we
see around this room existed in those
days. No such viands graced his
board. What there was was elegant
for that day: But we live in another
age—an age of art, art -craftsman-
ship and luxury. From the four cor-
ners of the earth carne the things on who is a master-builder—
Jesus of
this table. From the lowest forms of Galilean Nazareth." And as - if day labour to the highest forms of ad-
dressing an actual person of flesh and
blood, the professor said, "Master,
may I ask you, as I have these young
men, whether there is anything In
this room that you could make with
your hands as other men make
them?"
There was a pause. Then with
slow measured stride, the speaker

Although the new Duchess of
Kent, by virtue of her, marriage to
King George's youngest son, becomes
the fourth lady of the land, the order
of succession to the throne will not
be changed.
The eldest gradndaughter of the
King and Queen, eight-year-old Prin-
cess Elizabeth, will not fare so well
in the ranking of the ladies of the
land, however. She moves from
fourth to fifth place.
The order of succession to the
crown follows:
The Prince of Wales and his issue
(the Prince is not married); the Duke
of York and his two daughters, Eliza-
beth and Margaret Rose, the Duke
of Gloucester and his issue (the
King's third son is also unmarried);
Prince George, the Duke of Kent and
his issue, and Princess Mary, the
King's only daughter (now the 'Coun-
tess of Harewood) and her issue.
First lady of the land, of course,
is Queen Mary. The Countess of
Harewood, the Princess Royal, takes
second place, the Duchess of Yerlc,
wife of the sovereign's second son,
third, and Marina, the Duchess of
Kent, fourth.
The Princess of Wales, were Ed-
ward married, would take precedence
of the Princses Royal. ,Marina also

and stockings. First of all, the feet
should be placed in cold water and
then given a brisk rub with a rough
towel. This treatment restores cir-
culation gradually and averts trouble.
A poor state of health may be the
underlying cause of chilblains, and
so it follows that, as a practical mea-
sure of prevention, the general health
should receive attention through.
proper diet and such, hygienic essen-
tials as fresh air, rest, exercise, clean-
liness and elimination. '
In many homes, the floors are cold,
and in such homes, the mother who
stands for so many hours, doing her
housework, develops chilblains; on.
her heels and the sides of her feet.
To some extent, this may be over-
come by wearing heavier shoes and
warmer stockings; but more attention
should be given to 'warming the
floors.
Painting the parts with tincture of
iodine will stop the itching at the on-
set. If an open sore develops, it is
well to remember the danger of in-
fection that attends all.open sores
and secure skilled treatment.
Chilblains are not dangerous to
life, but they may take a great deal
of the joy out of life.

CANADA'S FOOD GUARANTEE
The Canadian Government marls on
canned goods, whether these goods
be meat, fish, milk, fruit, vegetables,
jam or pickles, assures the purchas-
er of pure food. Not only is it a
guarantee that the food ivas manu-
factured from substances free from
disease but that it was handled and
prepared under sanitary conditions.
Under the Meat and Canned Foods
Act, the responsibility for this guar-
antee falls on the Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Besides inspecting 1,151,413 cattle;
853,419 sheep; 2,879,353 swine; 288,-
776 poultry, and 2,000 buffalo, both
before and after' slaughter, during
the year 1938-34, and inspecting and.
supervising ,manufacture in 78 meat
packing establishments, the Domin-
ion Health of Animals Branch also
examined 871 samples after manu-
facture. Canned fruit, vegetables,
jam and pickles in lilce maturer in the
550 plants in the Dominion were in-
spected and the manufacture super-
vised by the Dominion Fruit Branch,
while the sale importation, and menu-
facture of condenesd, evaporated and
dried milk in Canada's 50 establish-
ments are under the administration
of the Dominion Dairy . and Cold
Storage Branch.
FROM FARM CLUB MEMBER TO
EXPERIENCED ,AGRICULTURIST
An outstanding feature of the
training received by Canada's young
farmers and farmerettes as members
of the various Boys' and Girls" Farm
Clubs is its pronounced effect on their
success in after life. All over Canada
there are many leading agriculturists
who are proud to admit that the
foundation of these present 'compre-
hensive knowledge of farming was
laid while they were members of the
boys' and girls' farm clubs of their
district.

And all that fair appears,
But a little wistful whisper
Will haunt you down the years!
A little pleading whisper
Which somehow calls you back,
Against your will or with it,
Down memory's winding track.
And there you'll find, in fancy,
The things you used to know,
The flowers that used to blossom,
The dreams of long ago.
And through the mist which hovers
Round memories divine
You'll glimpse the well -loved faces,
You'll see old hearth -fires shine!
However far you wander,
Vjhate'er fair lands you see,

Your thoughts will still go homing
Where your ain folk be!
