Let’s Teach Girls Courage. ‘ Now that women have been given the vote and have pushed their wayl into practically every occupation Once‘ suDillosed to be exclusively masculine, I've been wondering if it wouldn't be a good thing to make the early train- ing of our daughters the same as that we give our sons. For if men and wo- men are to be on a plane of equality what more reasonable than that they should ‘be started off alike in baby-1 hood?’ As it is to-day the training given our boys is very dissimilar from that we accord our daughters. Courage being the most admirable trait .in a man, we start to developing; it in our men-children from their earliest days. But physical courage! not being so necessary in women, we fail to impress its desirability on our daughters, with the result that though some of them arrive at maturity with; plenty of physical courage, there is a; large per cent. who fail to cultivate either the physical or moral sort. A group of small children rangingi in ages from two to five were playing in the yard the other day. Suddenlyi the air was rent with the loud wails‘ of a two-year-old girl. Doors flewl open and mothers rushed out from a half dozen houses, while older sisters and brothers from across the street left their ball game to hurry to the rescue. Inquiry developed the fact that Mary Ellen had stabbed her toe and fallen down in the grass. She wasn’t hurt, not‘the littlest mite, but her mother picked her up and kissed and hugged her, someone else gave her an apple, a third promised her an auto ride, while everybody blamed “the naughty old ground" for bumping the baby. She was made quite a heroine and encouraged to magnify her little ills. A half hour later there was a real shrill cry of pain. It was a three-year- old boyâ€"everybody knew in both in- stances Who was crying, cries are as distinctive as voices. He had fallen down the steps and cut his knee on: the concrete walk. Blood ran down “his leg and he really was hurt. Was there the same commotion? Nobody 'ran' out. The next-door neighbor looked _ out the window and laughed, the chil- dren across the street mocked him, and his own mother came to the door and commanded him to stop crying . and be a man! If you want to teach, stoioism it was the proper thing to do, and at any rate, it was far saner treatment than the little girl got. But if it was goodl treatment for the boy, why wasn't it equally good for the girl? Why teach him to grin and bear it, and encourage 'her to grow into a cry-baby? When that girl becomes a woman she is going to meet a great many bumps. Wouldn’t it be better to prepare her‘ for them as she goes along, than to! coddle her through infancy and young ‘ girlhood and then thrust her entirely unprepared, into a world full of hard bumps and bruises? Why wouldn’t it, be a good thing to teach our girls} fortitude and physical endu_rance?i Those attributes are just as necessa': in home-making as they are in wage-1' earning. There would be less whining and fewer complaints when things} didn’t go right, for complaining is; l really a sign of cowardice and weak-‘ ness. Teach the girls that life is a game lany time of the year. “\lflwflvv- is much easier to sew 01 panel fronts, yokes, belts, trimming braid, etc., if the dress can be laid fiat.â€"-Mrs. T. McK. I To Prevept Needles from Rusting.â€"â€"- A good way to keep needles from rust- ing is to place them in booklets made from the waxed paper that comes around crackers. Damp weather causes needles to met, but this pro- caution will prevent it. A little child will enjoy making some of these little booklets, and they will last a long timeâ€"Mrs. J. J. O‘C. Sewing on Lace.â€"-Wheii sewing lace on a garment, don’t forget that the thread at the edge was put there purposely for a drawstring, and you can gather the lace to just the right fullness without the use of a needle and thread. When one is sewing in- sertion on a garment where there is a corner to be_ turned, this gathering thread comes handy also.~â€"Mi's. E. S. T. Renewing Velvetâ€"When steaming velvet over a teakcttle, insert a funnel in the mouth of the kettle. This will spread the steam over a larger surface ‘ and the work will be quickly accom- plishedâ€"Mrs. J. J. O’C. Pressing Woolen Goods and Silks.â€" When pressing a wool fabric or a piece of fine silk, lay unbleached muslin over it, in order to prevent glossing. After passing the iron over woolens, lift up the cloth and brush the nap with a stiff brushâ€"Miss Z. I. D. Reinforcing Stockingsâ€"A good way to strengthen the children’s stockings is to sew strong black muslin on the bias, inside the heels and knees. It will not show and will treble the life of the stockingâ€"Mrs. J. J. O’C. M Lightening the Husband's Day. Few wives but wish at one time or another that they could help to make the day of their husbands lighter and more successful. Many study this proposition and perhaps think that when they have been out in the field and helped to put on a load of hay or grain, or done something- toward the chores, they have done their best and all they can, 'and this really is a great deal, often far too much for a woman to do in addition to her houseâ€" hold cares. I But there is a very good way in which the wife may help her husband aside from sharing the active work out of doors. I mean by the work she does in the kitchen. Good cooking has more to do with the farmer’s success or failure than we are apt to think. A man is just what his digestion makes of him. If he has good food to eat, eats it with a relish, digests it pro- perly, the'world has a good look to him and he gets through the hardest kind of work in good shape, going to his rest at night with a clear brain and ready for the sleep 'which will come to him. , This makes it well worth while for the farmer's wife to study the food she prepares and give its cooking the best possible care. Often it is not possible for the farmer’s wife to get Just the things she would like, especi- ally at some seasons of the year. This places heavier strain upon her to see to it that what she does have is cooked ‘ well and served in an attractive man- ner. Farmer folks do not need such a great variety as'niay be supposed at Good, plain, of give and take.

Steaiiisliips wliicli ply between Canada and practically all the important ports of call in the world is the “Empress of France," before the war popularly known as the 88. "Al- satian" and one of the ocean grey- hounds between Canada and Liverpool. The vessel has been reconditimml since the war ceased and recently completed her maiden trip to Quebec under her new name. ller interior ar- lraiigcments and fittings will compare favorably with the great Leviatlions in this respect. The “Empress of France" has a length of 600 fi.; beam 72 ft; depth (to l) deck) 54 ft. 6 iii.; and o tonnage of 18,000 gross. A striking peculiarity is the cruiser's stern, which imparts a warlike ap- pearance t0 the vessel. Her war re- cord is one to be proud of. The] “Empress of France" as the SS. “Alsatian” was requisitioncd for war purposes under Royal Proclaiiia- {ion immediately on her arrival at the port of Liverpool, midnight on the of discharge, the entire removal of. all passenger accommodation and other woodwork, she was armed with $6 in. guns, commissioned and manned by a naval crew under the command of Captain V. Pliillimore, D.S.O., and was attached to the 10th Cruiscr Squad- ron on northern patrol duty. sailing from Liverpool 011 August 15th. at which port she has been based, during; the entire period of her commission. From August to December, 1914, she remained as above stated, but in December she was made Flag Ship of (he Squadron to which she was at- tached, and Vice-Admiral Sir Dudley R. S. DeChair, K.C.B,, ‘M.V’.0., hoisted his flag, which flew up to March, 1916. when he was succeeded by Admiral Sir Reginald G. Tupper, K.C.B., C.V.0., who was succeeded in November, 1913, by Rear-Admiral C. W. Keiglilcy Peach under whose flag she termi- nated he? commission as an Armed Cruiser. , ‘ The Squadron to which she was at tached, and later became Flagship of, consisted of 24 vessels, the majority of which were Armed Mercantile Cruisers. The duties of the Squadron consisted of the stopping of vessels, boarding them and examining their papers, and should on examination they prove to be at all of a suspicious nature, a Naval Officer was plaCed in charge and they were taken into a United Kingdom port for closer ex- amination. This similarly applied to any members of the passengers or crew, as each and everyone had to give a satisfactory explanation as to their nationality and business. Avail- able records show that in all,the Squadron interCepted some 10,000 ves- sels, but it is impossible to state how many of these proved to be engaged in work hostile to the Allies’ interests. In the early part of 1918, circum- stances permitted of the 10th Cruiser Squadron being considerably reduced in numbers, and vessels so engaged being allocated to Convoy Protection Duty, the “Alsatian” figuring amongst the number and being stationed on the North Atlantic route in such ca- pacity. \Vhile so engaged she escort- ed nine convoys of about 20 vessels each, carrying an estimated ‘llllnlbel‘ of troops per convoy of 30,000, prin- cipally Americans. While engaged on Convoy Escort duties the "Alsatian" also carried troops and cargo, the number of form- er per voyage being about 600, and the weight of cargo per voyage be- tween 2,000 and 3,000 tons. She made her last voyage on Government Ser- vice in November, 1918, sailing from Liverpool on the 14th, and redocked at that port on December 11th, 1918, having steamed a total distance on GOVerument Service of 266,741 miles and consumed 170,571 tons of coal. On January 17th, 1919, she left for Glasgow, having been placed in the iliands of her buildersâ€"Messrs Beard- :more & Co.»â€"by the Admiralty for re- ;conditioning, being redelivered tQtlle 'C.P.O.S. at the Port of Liverpool on lThursday, September 25th, and sailed Ifor Quebec on Friday, September 26th. I Captain Outram, her captain when iwar broke out, was given the rank of. lCommander R.N.R., and acted in that , capacity, which was of an advisory nature, under both Vice-Admiral Sir Dudley R. S. De Chair, K.C.B., M.V.O., l and Admiral Sir Reginald G. Tupper, i K.C.B., C.V.0., and was granted the .D.S.O. for services rendered, succeeded by Captain Cook at the same time as Admiral Tupper isucceeded by Reai‘AdmiraI iKeigliley Peach.

You will be sur- prised how much time you can save year in and year out by recognizing the first danger signals of the so-called cold, and if it does not respond to this your family physician. As regards ‘food, eat moderately. Whiskey and heavy doses of quinine, which you frequenin hear recommend- ed, are decidedly objectionable, and usually do more harm than good. This applies to all quack remedies, catarrh cures, and so forth. Remember the soâ€"called cold may be the beginning of an attack of influenza. It may be the beginning of tuberculosis or pneuâ€" monia, and in children is not infre- quently the beginning of whooping cough or measles. A cold in the young infant .is al- ways dahgerous. It spreads rapidly if? not promptly got under control, and soon involves the bronchial tubes and the lungs, resulting in bronchoâ€"pneu- monia, which is a very fatal disease to infants and young children, especially under 5 years of age; The mother who has a cold should always wear a mask when nursing her baby, so as to prevent the possibility of any drop- lets ,coming in contact with the baby. 0 Who Is My Neighbor?
