WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES Mainly For Women (By Dorothy Dix) Dorothy Dix) A GIRL'S DUTY NOT ALWAYS "TO ,MOTHER By Winnifred Black) "Dear me," said Aunt Hetty, "young folks are so hard-hearted nowadays and so selfish." "Now there's Katherine, her mother isn't at all well and she needs Kather- ine at home. But Katherine has gone to the city and has an apartment' with" two other girls and they work awfully hard but they have awfully good tim- es too. They have parties in their rooms ann they go to parties in other people's apartments sitting on cush- ions on the floor and singing songs about each other. They go to the theatre and the restaurants and Ka- therine says she'd die if she gave up her work." But I think she could come home and teach in, the little school near her mother's : house and maybe she could find some nice. man to marry her and he and she could live et home with Katherine's mother." "Then Katherine's mother, wouldn't have to have a paid niece to live with her." "What. do I mean by' a paid niece?" "Why I mean a real niece who is paid to stay andbe company for Ka- therine's mother. "No, it's `'nothing the matter with Katherine's mother: she has to go to 1n�4(bed early and keep very quiet, have a simple diet and she can't 'see many people or have much noise or confus- ion around her." "Her mother was the same way, that way my grandmother too, you see and I know." "Mother lived to be 86 and she nev- er had a well day from the time she: was 40." "I spent my whole time with her, that's why I never married. And I don't see why Katherine should do different from me, do you?" And I thought of ;Katherine and her light eyes and her light laughter and all her pretty, beautiful ways and I looked at her aunt and somehow I could see her as she looked when she was young and I wondered if it was worth while, the long life of sacrifice. and slow bleeding "to death that had been hers. Why should the young be expected to sacrifice their lives for those who are so little use to the world? Katherine's mother is comfortable and well taken care of. Katherine works hard so that she can see to that. Why, isn't she doing her full duty? Nobody would expect Katherine's brother to sacrifice hist life and his hope and his ambitions for the sake of his invalid mother? And' if they did expect it they'd be disappointed. Is Aunt Htttie right or is she wrong about Katherine and Katherine's mo- ther? If Katherine's mother is a real `mother, doesn't she rejoice in the free- dom of her daughter and her daught- er's happiness and her daughter's suc- cess? uc=cess? Why:shouldn',t she? at least they do little harm, .especially cold or warm water. In fact this prepares theway for the more ex- pert treatment which is to follow, or that should follow, before the articles' are put into the laundry, If stains are removed br hot or cold water, then it shows that the water has dissolved the substances that formed the spot and it will wash away without leaving a trace. The fruit juices containing sugar and pec tose, gummy substance, soluble in hot water, generally are easily removed in this way. Grease stains, if washed out first with cold water will not spread, then agoodsoaping forms an emulsion by changing its nature so that it is readily washed away in the hot sudsy water, . If blood stains are washed out at once in coldwater they will conic out quite well. If hot water is tried first : it sets the stain which. is then very hard to get, out, Hot water generally draws out tea coffee and cocoa stains if applied while the stain is still wet. • If the stain is old try soaking it a while in pure glycerin' before• washing out in soapy water, This generally loosens it. .Ink is one of the most difficult stains to remove. Rinse first as quick- ly as possible in cold water, then cov- er the spots with salts of lemon. As fast as it 'dries' add another dose, place it in the sunshine which often will remove all traces. Then the .ar- ticle may be washed. Grease spots on silk are often drawn out with applications of French chalk which will not leave a ring. Repeat the application several times and brush off after standing awhile. DISCARD KOSHER KITCHEN tiadical ()basso In ash Mfothods of Life In American ,Cities. Abandoning the ways of their an- cestors that have been followed rig- idly through thousands of years, about 75 per cent. of the young Jews of to -day ere modifying or discarding the ancient Jewish ritual applied to food, known as the Kosher kitchen. This is pointed out by Dr. Hanna M. Lyons of Philadelphia, in a report of Jewish: food and health in the Jour- nal of Home Economics. Failure to observe the Jewish toad ritual is attributed to the fact that the three million Jews in the United States are much less isolated than Hebrews in other times and places. Comparatively few people realize, Dr. Lyons points out, that the an- cient sanitary food standards estab- dished by Moses'. law were far in ad- vance , x their ' time and are still re- cognized as prophylactic. The chief regulations prohibit cooking or eat- ing meat and milk together. Title means a' complicated system of four separate sets of dishes, table cloths, and even dish towels; . one set for meat, another for milk foods, and a duplicate set of each of these reserv- ed for use at the Passover. "Special care must be exercised in using only animals' free from dis- ease," she states. "Those found to have lung adhesion or spotted' tissue must be discarded. In . eansequeisce, orthodox Jews have been ' eating tuberculosis -free beef For centuries. Not only must forbidden animals, such as those with an unclosed hoof, and fish without scales be avoided, but the meat must, be prepared by butchers licensed by the chief rabbi, and labelled with the names of the slaughterer' and the date of killing. "The food laws which have been cherished and handed down from one generation to another have of neces- sity had a physical effect upon the Jewish race. Vital statistics credit the Jew with exceptional longevity and a low death rate from tuber- culosis, but show a high death rate from cancerrvand diabetes." In a de in New York city some time ago, the tenth ward, which is a tenement house district largely Jewish in character, was found to rank first in density of population andonly tGond intrate,ipoinot. Hebrews are well to the fore in modern health education, she states. The Kosher kitchen is recognized as a matter for individual decision, and food demonstrations at health cen- tres are arranged so as not to offend othodox Jews. Too much starch and too little green vegetables and milk are found to be the chief defects in Jewish diet at present. "WHAT TIME IS IT?" This query echoes down the cen- turies. Consternation attends passers- by when a familiar public time -piece has its face covered with brown paper subject to repairs, Even the wrist watch cannot comfort or take the place of this dependable friend who hurries or delays us with motions of its hands. The sun dial of Ahaz in 2nd Kings seems to have been the earliest rec- ord, es.ord, of time keeping. The modern wrist watch, new to many of us and greatly in evidence during and after the war, is 'really very old—a French invention of the sixteenth century and in the 1590 was in the height of fashion. The Puritans, owing to their dis- like of display, initiated the fashon of wearing watches in pockets, and covered fobs. What we are especially interested in are the . newer kitchen clocks. Cooks are always dependent upon clocks and no self-respecting kitchen is without some sort of clock., The latest modern alarm clock is that which may be set at any given. time to ring and call the cook's atten- tion to the fact that the cookies are done, meat has roasted the required time, or the cake is just the right brown. A. great convenience in a busy kitchen. Other kitchen clocks appear in polished frying pans to hang on 'the wall, in large china• plaques, in glass blocks which may be washed off easily, in painted tin frames, and the octagonal ships clock is a fad that works well after one teaches the cook to understand the number of bells that strike the mealtime hours. 'There is still another clock which is handy in the dark as the pressure of a knob lights the little bulb and throws the clock dial on the ceiling or side wall. There has been an ef- fort to make the four faced table clock fashionable for the table once more, but modern women find it cum- besome and not 'attractive. WELCOME HOME PARTY (By Marjorie Adams) Now is the time when all the sum- mer Vacations seem to be ending and new groups are arriving home daily. Of. course, it seems so nice to see friends lsoan whom they have been separated all summer that there is. ordinarily a ,pleasant round of parties. A "welcome home" party might be a suggestion for one of the hostess - to -be. Perhaps you.. can use it. If it is arranged •as a bridge luncheon the tally -place ,cards might be in the shapes of boats, trains, and automo- biles and the centrepiece might '.be a low bowl of garden flowers. Menu Suggestion A menu consisting .of fruit .cock tail or hot consomme, molded tuna fish salad or creamed , shrimps and mushrooms in a spaghetti ring and a light salad cheese balls rolled in nuts andplaced. placed' in a circle oil a plate around a mold of currant jelly, po- tato chips, hot rolls, iced tea or cof- fee and icecream and cake -call be easily prepared and is delicious. Prizes for the bride otight:to he relative to the home and the hostess will find that selections in the shape of a kitchen novelty o.r!a bright piece ofpottery for the inevitable bare cor- ner ner of nearly every room will be gratefully received. If the guests do not play bridge some other forn•i of amusement, such as bunco or writing games of any kind may be substituted. ATLANTIC SEAL FISHING ?Twi) ROa1ANCie DEPARTS FROM BUSINESS. Sailing Vessels Have Given Way to Steamer and Modern Business Takes Baud In Exploiting One of Newfoundland's Oldest Trades: 'WHAT TO 1)0 FOR SPOTS AND STAINS Spots and stains on linen clothing . and other things are one of the house- ' wifes Special torments, For lack of . knowledge when the spots or stains Happen, 'home remedies are generally applied.

All other forms of fishing seem tame for ever afterwards; says Anewers, The writer once did a little ' shark angling on board a liner bound from Australia to England, Owing to en- gine trouble, the ship had to heave -to for it few bourn in the Northern In- diafi Ocean, and a few fishing en- thu;lasts procured a meat -book and a large piece of pork from the butch- er-shop, and, having attached these to a useful length of stout rope, throw the "bait" over the side, There was a certain amount of de- rision among the sceptics, who pasted scathing. remarks on the doubtful value of teaching pork to swim, but the sarcasm stopped abruptly when. someone shouted and pointed to the bait, white could be seen dimly un- der the wooden float. There, sure enough, a long, sha- dowy form was circling round the bait. Would it be tempted by the meal prepared for it? We saw it make a vicious grab at the pork and then swim blithely away, 'the easily earned meal in its jaws. Well, better luck next time: We pulled in the empty meat -hook, re - baited it with a fresh supply of pork and dropped it over again. Twenty barren minutes ticked by. Then, again., a dark, shadowy form slid into view. It came along with a stealthy. swirl, slowed up, viewed with care- ful deliberation the delectable mor- sel. Then suddenly it made up its mind. With a rush, it snapped up the dangling pork and made away. It nearly made away, too, with the man who was holding the line. There was a terrific jerk, and he was pull- ed hard up against the rails. But a dozen hands were thrust forward to his aid, and the shark, for all its lashing, had no chance., It was lift- ed clear of the water and hauled up the ship's side amid a babel of ex- cited voices. Our "capture" measured six feet four inches, and was too heavy for a couple of mento lift. Its stomach contained. a large octopus as well as our piece of pork. Its most remarkable feature was the mouth. It held no less than four rows of teeth, each edged like a saw, in each jaw, the teeth so placed that, when one tooth wore out, or fel.l out, the one behind could bend up and take its place. All the teeth lay at an angle of about fifteen degrees, which allowed for no escape once its victim was secured inside the jaws. Officially, an integral part of the ftnheries, seal dishing is commonly re- garded as a separate entity of New foundiand's economic life. While much of the romance asso- ciated with the early history of this Industry has given way to the; bard, matter-of-fact reodern business, the, industry continues' to attract large numbers of Newfoulidlanders on ac- count of the lucrative profits which can be made 'over' a comparatively short. period, despite known hard- ships which have to be faced by the hunters each year. The history of seal fisheries, may be roughly divided into four periods, says the Financial Post. At first the seals were taken in nets which were placed between the shore and some Island or rock, at no great distance. This . was supplemented by hunting the seals on the ice floes in the spring. Naturally, operations were limited and methods of preparing the oil and skins somewhat crude. Early records show that the value of seal oil and skins exported from the Is- land amounted. to $5,000 in 1749. Twenty years later these exports had increased to $40,000 per. annum. The catch fluctuated in the next few years,, but rapidly increased again and by 1775 exports amounted in value to over $100,000. Prom,the year 1800 an important advance in this industry was made by fitting out small schooners of 30 to 50 tons and carrying from 12 to 18 men. The vessels were •stoutly built to encounter heavy ice and did not leave port until, toward the end of March in order to avoid the early spring gales. In 1857 there were 400 vessels of 70 to 200 tons, engaged in sea fish- ing, their united crews numbering some 13,000 men. The average an- nual value, of the seal fisheries in that period was from $1,000,000 to $1,250,000, with an average catch of about 400,000 seals. Modern methods of seal catching commenced about 1863 when steam vessels first took part in the annual seal hunts. The introduction of steam- ers gradually drove out sailing ves- sels. By 1866 there were only 177 sailing vessels and five steamers in the trade. By 1882 the number of steamers bad increased to 25 and since that time the sailing vessel, to all intents and purposes, is no longer used in seal fishing, while th,e num- ber of steam vessels has declined so 11, The animals caught on the ice floes Lf Newfoundland and Labrador are hair seals, valued principally for their skins and fats, as distinguished from the fur seals of the North Pa- cific. From the skin of the Atlantic seal, a fine quality of leather similar to kid and patent is made in the United States and Scotland. The oil is- used for medicine as a substitute for cod-liver oil, for food, soap -mak- ing and as an illuminant, especially in lighthouses and mines. From records available covering a period of some fifteen or•twenty years, it is apparent that the success of the seal hunt does not depend up- on the number of vessels or men en- gaged in the hunt. While the route taken by the seals in their travels in the early spring months is well known from past experience, the number killed is largely a matter of luck. Between 1914 and 1925 the num- ber of seals taken ranged from a low of 47,0P4 in 1915 to a high of 241,- 362 41,- 302 in 1916. In the five-year period —1921 to 1925, the number of seals taken ranged from 101,000 to 130.- 100 per annum. In 1926, 132,509 seals were taken. in 1927 the catch totalled 211,531, and for 1928, 241,- 450. The present season has been. one of the best experienced probably in the past twenty-five years. The seals are, utilized commercial- ly in two ways—namely, for their skins and oil. Newfoundland's production of seal oil represents one of the world's prin- cipal sources for that product. The output naturally fluctuates with the number of seals taken. Exports have been well maintained in recent years as evidenced from the following table: e akimo Class Gain. Diplomas. Another milestone in educational progress was passed this year when members of the world's first Eskimo graduating class. were presented with diplomas at White Mountain, Alaska. To four Alaskan natives, Isaac Newlin and his wife Jennie Newlin, a young married couple, Josephine Kalarak and Roger Mendelock, the first to complete the school's gram- mar and 'industrial courses, fall the honor of receiving the first diplomas at the White Mountain school in northwestern Alaska on Norton Sound, where there are fifty-three boarding pupils drawn from Point Barrow, the northernmost tip of Alaska, and as far south as the low- er Yukon. The institution, one of three maintained in Alaska by the Bureau of Education, opened in the fall of 1925 with five pupils and has grown until its present enrollment of fifty-three is all that facilities can accommodate. PEACH COCKTAIL Pare four large, .rilie peaches of good flavor, cut them in small pieces and dust them with a teaspoonful of sugar. Take a small ripe cante- loupe and scoop opt the balls with a small scoop, mix with the peach, and add a teaspoonful of grated canned pineapple, Add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, a half saltspoonful of salt, the same of red pepper, a des- sert spoonful of minced' green olives, and a tablespoonfhl of homemade wine, creme de menthe, or other av- ailable cordial, Mix lightly, serve in small gcocktail lasses and top with a. maraschno cherry, or candied mint leaf, : The flavors in this combination. heighten each other. If more pine- apple had been added it might have dominated and spoiled the character of the peach. The melon is simply a carrier for the' flavorng, Talc Deposits of Madoc. For over twenty years deposits of superfine white talc have been work- ed in the iVladoe dis'triot; Hastings county, Ontario, which still leads in the output of talc produced in Can- ada.

To Avoid Seasickness. klggs and tea, are two articles of Prehistoric Bird Fetish. The discovery of a prehistoric bird fetish, the finest thing of its type ever found on the Mesa Verde, Colorado, was one of the rewards of the 1928 annual archaelogical investigations conducted by a party of seven men under the guidance of Supt. Jesse L. Nusbaum of the park. The explor- ations were carried on among the cliff dweller ruins of Wetherill Mesa on the west side of the park. The fetish, which is about three- quarters of an inch in length, served as a pendant on a string of beads, being strung by a hole drilled through its breast. The carving on the little bird is especially beautifuL uL Its eye sockets were carefully drilled out and small pieces of rock crystal get in with pinon gum to simulate eyes. 'Planes Without Pilots. Airplanes without pilots have been made to loop the loop by wireless con- trol from the ground. Many other difficult performances have been made possible by a delicate new sYs- tem within the 'plane, operated by wireless waves. A receiving set In the 'plane, de- signed to interpret and act upon im- pulses transmitted from a ground control station, acts as the mechani- cal pilot's "brain." The controls are operated by compressed air motors actuated by the wireless set. Denmark's Population Dwindling.

The writing of some of the peoples of to -day is merely a contin- uation of such picture - writing.
