His little guns are swollen and sore; diarrhoea, constipation, colic and sometimes eon- vulsions set in. -.neither baby nor mother can sleep. These troubles can be quickly ban- ished, however, through the use of Baby's Own Tablets, concerning which Mrs. Louis Grubb, Teeswater, Ont., says:—"I have used the Tablets for all my babies while teething and -•have found them •a splendid medicine."

MAKING WINDOW WASHING EASIER As a child I often accompanied my grandfather on his rides along a country road, and not infrequently as we passed a house with glisten- ing windows he would remark that he knew Mrs. So and So was a good housekeeper because her windows al- ways looked as though they had just been washed. There are several effective methods for cleaning windows. One of the im- portant factors, and one that its often Overlooked, is to see that the sashes come in for their share of attention. Too often these present a collection of Boil that is most unsighty. A more thorough job will result if all the sashes are cleaned before touching the glass, •because here a different type of cleaning is required. If the 'sashes are painted they may be gleaned by the same method em- ployed in cleaning painted woodwork. A small brush is coueenient for get- ting into ,the crevices and a wooden skewer, which your ;butcher will bring you, is an excellent tool for getting into the very corners. • If -the sashes are stained to match the mahogany or walnut woodwork, and would be damaged by water they may he cleaned with furniture polish, Care should be exercised in cleaning the sashes, to touch the glass as lit- tle as possible, for whatever suib- stance is left on the pane must be re- moved in a later ,operation. Do not cleanwindows when the sun is shining on them. It is painful to the worker and the uneven evapora- tion causes streaks. Do not use a heavy suds. ?t will leave a film. A little kerosene, am- monia, washing soda, or ether soften- er added to the water is recornmend- suffering keen, whereas the mediocre have probably their own massive and impregnable, self-conceit to defend them. Such musings come naturally to mind on hearing of the death of Siegfried Wagnert at the very height of the Beyreuth festival, one, of the great annual events for lovers of Wagnerian opera. His mother, the celebrated 'Oocime, died a few Moinths ago. Between them the mother and son had kept alive the Wagnerian•tra- dition, though the bulk of the task fell on the shoulders of the son. They or- ganized the festivals, and after the war had stopped them, reorganized them and had restored them to all of their original'interest and importance in the eyes of music lovers. It is an- nounced that the season's programme will be completed, but one wonders what will happen to the concerts next year. It may be that discussionconcern- ing the rank of Wagner among music- ians has not wholly died away, and there are (probably more people than ever who do not like Wagnerian mus- ic, since there are mote people than ever to hear it. But we presume that the best critics acknowledge Richard Wagner's genius. Into the world of music he at least brought some new ideas, and became the centre of a tre- , mendous controversy. That he had overpowering originality is now ev- erywhere admitted. His son Siegfried had merely talent, but he loved music as much as his father did. He early manifested this love and undoubted talent. • But talent was not enough -for the father. He viewed it with the keen appraising eye of 'genius, and did everything in his power to turn his son's thoughts and ambitions into another channel. It was at the father's insistence that Siegfried stu- died architecture and graduated with a degree from Karlsruhe University. Afterward he took a course in Polytechnic Institute at Berlin-Char- lottenburg. But when his father died he abandoned the idea of becoming an architect, and determined that he would carry on the Wagner tradition in music. Burt to his credit it must be said that he did not try to write music like his father. He studied with Hunrlper- dinck, composer of Hansel and Gretel, and his subsequent writings showed his indebtedness to this teacher and also to others who had altogether different theories and gifts from those of Richard Wagner. His first opera "Der Baerenhaeuter," was produced in 1899, and won success in several cities. The critics who had been pre- pared to find in the younger Wagner a mere imitation of his father were agreeably disappointed. There are probably many people who prefer this piece of 'Siegfried's to any of Rich- ard's, but, slue! they are not to be named among the authorities. Wag- ner was much encouraged by this suc- cess, and proceeded to write other compositions. None of them was a success, although as we have suggest- ed, had it not been, for; the handicap of his parentage Wagner might have won better receptions. However, he recognized .that he had written the best of which he was capable, and since this was not good enough, he bowed to fate, and turned to the task where his true renown was to be found. He devoted bimself with his mother, to the promotion of the Beyreuth fes- tivals, where the works of his father were regularly presented, and where music lovers from all over the world congregated. At first he was assist- ant conductor, but in two year be- came principal. Later on he ventured out as guest conductor in other Eur- opean eltiee, limitiltg himself,' as a rule, to the presentation of his father's works. 'He was no magic conductor, but as time went on be •was.gradually admitted to be the most faithful and satisfactory interpreter of Wagnerian music before the public: He fulfilled literally the words of his father, "He will preserve my works to the world," es he also proved it to he true that "the burden .•ef..carrying.sneh.a fatty will be a difficult ore." Siegfried knew, as nobody else could knew, just how his father nwtshea hie works to be interpreted, and also what scenic effects were in his mind's eye. Once elbsbxbed in his to he found a satis- acfion that his oeiginai Work had fain to give him.

'TOMATOES ONCE ` FROWNED UPON ARE. NOW A:,POPULAR : VEGETABLE 'Tomati. Pommes d'amaur. Loy apples.. To -may -tees. Toennahetoes. Tamlat-toe . ' In 'Mexico and Peres,; Where tome. toes were first gravid, they were call- ed t{ouiati, The -French named the fruit brought from Perlis pornmes d'•amour, which translated into our own- language, means love apples; Early history relates that tomatoes were first grown for curiosity and that no use was made of them because the people thought they were poison- ous. In fact, we have a number of memoirs as well as traditionsof early American families showing people were really afraid to eat tomatoes. When little children were caught in the act of eating the fruit they were rushed to the doctor with the fear that they had been poisoned and prob- ably would not survive. The reason for such fear seems to have been due to the fact that many people kpew the tomato plant belongs to the poi- sonous nightshade family. It was natural for those inexperienced and with a .srlratter"ing knowledge of bot- any to conclude that all members of one .plant family would have similar characteristics. Now that tomatoes are pane of our most popular foods it is hard for us to realize that our fondness dates back less than a cen- tury, when experimental eating was done in fear and trembling. Important Commercially. No other food of 'equal commercial importance has increased in use so much and in so short a time as the tomato. At first it was grown only in home gardens. While the home grown fruit was available only for a few months in the summer and fall, it was long enough for the people to discover that tomatoes were a valu- able food. A need was soon felt for a year round supply_ Canning, pickling and preserving the products met the requirement to a certain extent, but did not completely satisfy. People dreamed;. of a time when fresh toma- toes could be had all the year around. Specialized trucking areas and im- proved transportation have made that dream almost come true. Attractive Qualities. Tomatoes appeal in many ways. The color is one of the most beauti- ful among foods. Yellow ones are available on some markets, but the - red predominates. Besides let -beet, tomatoes are our most importaft salad vegetables. The flavor, texture and color seem to be particularly adapted to salad use. Served with dressing in combination with poultry, fish, or meat it makes one of the most tempting and inex- pensive salads appearing on the a la earte service of our best restaurants and hotels. The flavor of tomatoes alone is distinctive, pleasing, and stimulating to most people. It is a flavor that combines well with a nuni- ber of vegetables, meats and fish and a few fruits, such as pineapple and orange. In the ripe state tomatoes have found a wide use in the preparation of relishes, pickles, catsup, soups, pastes, purees, juice, and canning. In an under -ripe state they arc often sauted as eggplant and used in nu- merous pickle combinations. T h e green tomato pie, which does not sound particularly good, is a much more delicate concoction than one would think. Tomato Juice. Tomato juice is now as ,permanent on the market as grape juice. 'While the bottling and canning of ,the juice has been in the experimental stage for the last ten years. the many difficulties encountered in the original preparation have been over- come. Now the product is uniform in consistency, beautiful in color, and palatable in flavor. At first the whole tomato twais used and the resulting juice usually separated, leaving a heavy sediment in the bottom and a clear liquid on top. Recently it has been found that a much better pro- duct can be obtained if only juice of the' first extraction is used for bottling and the heavier puree used in the preparation of a sauce for bak- ed beans. Tomato juice bids fair to become a strong competitor of orange and grapefruit juice as an early morning bracer. Quantities of tomatoes are convert- ed into soups and purees in concen- trated form, as well ' as into catsup. and chili sauce. During the war much of the puree was evaporated into a paste commonly, called tomato leather. Valuable For Vitamins. Tomatoes arse one of our richest and least expensive sources of vitamin C (the vitamin which pre- vep'ts _egureyJ,,_ It_ is now, •given to babies in the place of orange juice to protect against scurvy. Fortunately canned tomatoes are 'just about as potent in vitamin C ars feeeh ones. Tomatoes are also an exicellent sauxce of:.vitamins A and B and are more valuable than oranges for phew- phorus and iron, but not quite so rich in calcium. So, if the cost of oranges staring to„ he prohibitive When toma- toes are inexpensive, use tomatoes instead atel have to. fear of a less nu - tritons &et.

That is the startling conten- tion of Hiram Motherwell in The Out- look and Independent. Here stands Germany, disarmed, denuded of trans- ferable wealth and loaded with debt for three generations to come, and yet with the foreign statesmen of Europe competing foi• her favor. Here is Great Britain, which held the balance of power of Europe for three centur- ies and which fought victoriously to retain it, but the state of Britain's foreign trade is worse than ever it was, with more than two million un- employed. The war stimulated indus- trial expansion among Britain's allies, in her foreign enemies and even in her Dominions and colonies. It slid the United States into mase produc- tion, and in Mr. Motherwell's words, "hastened by perhaps two or three de- cades the disintegration of that in- dustrial and commercial supremacy upon which. Britain's greatness was built." The war destroyed Germany's fleet and also relieved Germany of the tre- mendous burden of building another. Inventions in the course of the war and developments since Brave caused many e- sate to doubt 'the" dncisive- value of a fleet. Warships can be destroyed from the air. They can be destroyed by amines and torpedoes, Cities can be bombarded and gassed, despite warships sent to protect them. Great Britain's fleet was the basis of her authority in Europe, that and her wealth. Her favor was courted. As Kipling wrote: "For the king must come down and many also can assist powerfully in building up Soviet Russia as an in- dustrial power, and a strong industrial Russia, free to export her products at or below cost, could disrupt the busi- ness of Europe. Industrial materials, credit and technical experts are the crying needs in Russia to -day if she is again to become a nation great in the Emperor frown an international sense. Germany can When the Widow of Windsor says supply all three. If Germany refrains .Stop!'„ But to -day while Britain is by no means without influence, public opin- ion at home would not permit her to involve herself in commitments that might means war. Mr. Motherwell says: "The luxury of deciding the fate of Europe by nodding to the right oar the left is henceforth denied her." If this is a true estimate of the situation, icy of other European powers. we can only say that the loss of this Mr. Motherwell says that Germany luxury concerns Great Britain much does not want to adopt any of the pol- lesslhan it concerns the European na- ivies indicated. Her supreme interest tions which formerly accepted as final is to preserve peace and foster her her decisions. trade, She is aware that even if war Nor has France been able to assume would not be ruinous to her, she is the balance of power, despite her great military machine, for France's potential supremacy rested on the other half of the French military sys- tem, Czarist Russia. Czarist Russia has passed permanently from the scene, and its place has been taken by a Russia which certainly will not ally itself with France for the pro- motion of any French schemes for aggrandizement. France has tried to build up a system to take Russia's place out of the Little Entente and Poland, but these nations are small and surrounded by potential enemies. So it happens that disarmed and debt - burdened Germany, which • happens to- be economically and geographically the centre of Europe, •becomes of vital importance in any warlike considera- tions. If the East and the West are to join forces it is over her territory that they must march. If Europe is to act in concert against an aggres- sor, it is the consent and support of Germany that the League of Nations must ask. Acting either independent- ly or through the League, Germany can throw her support in any one of three directions. Mussolini must look to Germany for any industrial materials that would be ,required if he contemplated a e to give with France or decided each breach free rein to his ambition to become lord of the Balkans.

If she refrains from helping Russia to accomplish the industrializ- ation of the country she certainly will be able to collect something from cap- italistic Europe. Germany unarmed and inert may continue for the next decades at least to determine the pol- in no position to make war. "Her tac- tics will be to nod graciously, but somewhat distantly, in three direc- tions at once. A little here and a lit- tle there; not enough to strengthen one unduly against another; if pos- sible not enough to arouse jealousy anywhere. Just enough to keep ev- erybody equal and continually asking favors. That is the ideal position for a country holding the balance of pow - DON'T LET SUNBURN SPO -IL YOUR VACATION.

What then are the things that Germany wants, and to which her pol- icy will be directed in gaining? Gen- eral disarmament dawn to her own level; the restoration of the Danzig- Corridor anzigCorridor and Upper Silesia, and ev- entually union with Austria. These requirements probably do not seem as impossible to the other European na- tions as they did ten years ago. It will be Germany'Is task to convince them that they can be granted with no lass anywhere but with a great gain to the general peace of Europe. To achieve this program, great statecraft is required, but the outlines of that statecraft were laid down by Strese- mann and promise to be followed loy- ally by his successors.
