Every communicable disease is ser-

We look forward to the time when

method of preventing diptheria.
Unfortunately, the list. of diseases

The first disease against which we
were given a means of definite pro-

Smallpox is banished where vaccin-

Alfalfa a ValuableCrop
Apple growers have found that in

keep the orchard in sod,' breaking up
only at intervals of "five` or six, years,.

Somerset, chairman of the Ontario
Marketing Board, 'and'. a practical

Tisdale, "and we enter the new sea-

has been made in the face of dire
predictions that wool could not be

years had been opening up many new

Women's Institute;: A iRural
Organization
When the rural dvoinen of Went
worth County organized ,a. Women's
Institute in 1897 fol '.`.the dissemina-
tion of knowledge relating to dom-
estic, economy, including household
architecture, with special attention to
home sanitation, a better understand-
ing of the economic and hygienic val-
ue of foods, clothing, fuel and 'more
scientific care and• training of child-
1en with a . view to raising .the gen-
eral standard of health and moral's
of our • people," little did they think'
that 35 years later the rural women
of 28 countries .scattered „pretty well
over 'the surface of the earth would
follow their example.
. The main purpose of. the Women's
Institutes , is • to provide educational
opportunities for grown-ups bearing
directly upon the responsibilities of
home life. They are endeavoring to
provide forthe • rural communities
some of the advantages found only
in the larger centres, such as suitable
,meeting places, libraries, rest rooms,
athletic fields, parks, rinks, etc.' The
criticism is sometimes reard that the
Institutes of Ontario are composed
largely of, townswomen, when, as a
matter of fact, surveys made at diff-
erent tithes and in different parts of
the province in recent years show
that 65:1 per cent.. of the members are
living on the farm, 21 per cent. are
made ttp of persons who have lived
on the farm, and only 13i per cent.
have never lived on the farm. One
of the chief factors contributing 'to
success is thatthe residents of the
villages and smaller towns are co-op-
erating with the farm women in
nuking the Institutes a forceful edit,
cational factor for women df respon-
sibility, are encouraging wholesome
social activities, are rendering a
splendid service in cases of need, and
are contributing very liberally in pro-
viding desirable community equip -
anent and utilizing it to the best ad-
vantage.
It is the regret of some of . the
leaders that here and there we find
branches which are so absorbed in
the raising of money and providing
supplies for community undertakings
and relief that they are, to a large'
_extent,' overlooking the fact that the
main purpose of the organization is
that of education itt nutrition, clotlt-
int, housing, health, with a whole-
some. sprinkling of the cultural and
entertaining. Ontario has 1200 Wo-
men's Institutes with a membership
of 41,000.
THE WINGHAM AD TANCM TIMES
of Canadian farmers trat while this
country's consumption'. •of 'timothy
seed is fully 9,000,000 pounds a year,
Canada only produces 1,500,006,
pounds a year, importing mostly
from the United States the balance.
Mr, Clark goes on to Vey:. '
"At the presenttime tkirnothy seed
in, Eastern Canada is• bringing farm-
ers around 9c per pound, while' the
price' in Western' 'Canada is around
8 cents per pounce. !'hits price, is, of
course, controlled lamely by; . the
price at which United States produc-
ers can lay their, products down at.
Canadan points, and .thzsprice in-
cludes such items as the cost of the.
seed, transportation, insurance, hand-
ling charges', and customs ditty. Are
there good reasons for these impor-
tations, or could that production pro-
fitably be kept at home?"
The Canadian Turnip
The Canadian! grown. Swede Tur-
nip (Rutabaga) has been finding a
large 'place in the high-grade trade
of United States. cities. Froin four.
to 'five thousand cars go out each
year from the central ',part of Ontar-
io to American markets. Food spec-
ialists declare it to he one of the fin-
est of vegetables, yet ritany Canadian
people still think of `it as the lowly
turnip.
In order to develop interest in and
a deeper appreciation of this siilen-
did vegetable, a very interesting" cir-
cular entitled "The , Canadian Ruta-
baga" has been published by the O.
A. C. • This circular gives valued in-
formation about ' the bast varieties,
the food values, and the table use of
turnips, and includes . sixteen very
carefullystested and approved recipes
for the preparation of this vegetable.

Weather in Conversation
,Whatever would we do without the
weather to talk about. It is the op
`ening gambit in most conversation.
These days it is not merely an open-
er. It is 'the chief topic of conversa-
tion. Some like this queer winter.
Some don't. In any case they talk
about it. The olderthey are the
..more they like the mild 'weather.
Some hate the rain, others prefer it
to, snow and cpld. The mothers wish
for the snow for the sake of the
children; some because they prefer
removing snow from theyoungsters
rather than mud. Some are delighted
with the small amount of coal used,
and the coal merchant' is in the
clumps because he is selling so little.
Others are not so 'interested in their
own coal bills as they appreciate the
less amounts required by the hard -
up. Business people think conditions
would be better if the weather were
colder. Others are worried about ice
supply for next summer, How are
the farmers going to handle the milk.
This just touches on the fringe- of
the matter. Doubtless you have talk-
ed about it yourself, so you can add
you 'own conclusions.

we use to disinfect , cues and sie on.

A New Organization
An association of representatives
of all county, officials in the province
to further the farmers' interests is
likely to be the outcome of the con-
ference held by Hon. Thos: L. Ken-
nedy, Ivlinister of Agriculture, at the
Parliament Buildings recently with
several "hundred representatives of
r
• n)
county' councils from all parts of On-
Tarlo, who gathbred at his behest to
delve into farming problems, The
Minister declared it would be non-
political and would present its re-
eommetidations periodically to the
Government. He stated it as his in-
tention to have the Department of
Agriculture in each county co-oper-
ate with the fanner to help him grow
crops especially fitted to soil and cli-
matic conditions of his county.

most dreaded by mothers, We feel
that we can stand anything, so long
as'our children are normal. Creten-

condition, they think that it is so,

influences
and it also r
if you lack energy; see that sea foods
become a part of your diet. Goitre
is caused by lack of iodine. As girls
are particularly susceptible to it, any
mother who, has girls should be very
careful to see that they are getting
iodine. The easiest way is in the
foods. If we cannot get fresh sea
fish that should riot prevent it, as sea
foods of many varieties are to be
found canned. Salmon is one of the
ones most commonly used and there
are numerous ways of using it. For-
tunately most children are fond of it.
Then there are herrings, sardines,
shrimps, clams, crab -meat, lobster
and many others. Smoked.fish isal-
ways available.
Iodised Salt
To make iodine more readily av-
ailable, manufacturers have added it
to common table salt, and it is one
of the very best ways of obtaining
it. Iodised salt should be used not
only as a table salt, but should be us-
ed in cooking tete vegetables. If
there is a case of goitre or suspected
goitre in tate , family, do not use io-
dised salt without your doctor's per-
mission, as in some cases of goitre
it is dangerous to use iodine, :even
in minute quantities. It should nev-
er be used as .a medicine nor added
to the drinking water without a doc-
tor's approval. In closing I would
urge, sea foods several times a week,
and the use of iodised salt.
Apples
Apples should be eaten more free-
ly than most people do. An apple
a day .is a mere bagatelle. Eat ap-
1 pies. I wager that you never knew
I a confirmed apple eater that was
constipated. That in itself it suffic-
ient reason for eating them.
It is not enough for mothers to
have them in the house, she should
have a dish of thein in sight. The av-
erage child is lazy and often will not
bother to eat an apple if he has to
do down cellar to get it, but if it(
is in plain view, that is a different I
.natter.
Children seem to be able to tuck
apples away in the corners without
any detriment to their appetites.. We
have all evert 'them eat a very hearty
meal and then eat an apple directly
after, • We grown -asps • wonder how
they can do it. It is one of the best
things that they can do, so never try
to stop them. The apples help sup-
ply any deficiencies of vitamines and
minerals and they clean the teeth and
mouth most satisfactorily.
Creamed Salmon

spoons flour, 1 cup • milk, 2 table-
spoons butter, 1 • teaspoon salt, dash
