The ears are too precious to entrust to unskilled hands. Deafness usually has its beginning in disease of the nose and throat, from whence the disease spreads up the tube which connects the throat and middle "ear. It is obvious that the health of the middle ear depends up the health of the nose and throat. Any condition which causes in- flamation of the nose or throat is apt to spread up into the middle ear ano set up inamation there; tissues are destroyed, pus is formed, and the ear discharges. It is in this way that the common cold, diphtheria, diseased tonsils and aden- oids are the underlying causes of middle ear disease which leads to deafness in later years. The nose should not be washed out except under a doctor's direction, as in so doing infection may be forced .... mm the middle ear.

Now that the tourist trade ranks in importance with agriculture, there are many side lines open to the rural woman, declared Mrs. W. B. Leath- erdale, of Coldwater, in addressing the delegates to the recent County W.I. -Convention. Making iCanada s attractions known abroad idepends virtually upon private enterprise. There is nothing that can keep _ travellers from coming to `Canada ii they receive courteous` treatment, i and are dealt with fairly. The farm er and `his wife, especially along the highways, not only prort by the ` tourist trade, but can do much toward increasing it.

Walker, pro- vincial president of the W.I., that` body was not organized for the sole purpose of exchanging recipes, :13 some thought. Having been associat- ed with the `first Women s Institute formed at Stony Creek, Wentworth County, almost since its inception, she [oh the _'IL-irgates pr :se.'n at the ban- quet which closed the sessions of the .,_I County Convention, that it had been her privilege to gain possession of the first minute book. In this the aims of the W.I. were set forth 11'.- tfollows: Resolved, that as a nation cannot rise above the level of its homes, therefore we women must de- vise ways and means bf raising the standards of the home to the highest levels. The work of that first branch from which has sprung a world-wide movement that in Canada alone numbers over 40,000 women, was divided into six departments namely, Domestic Economy and Household Architecture (including heating, lighting, sanitation, ventila tion, etc.), Health, Horticulture, Music and Art, Literature and Educa- tion, Sociology and `Legislation. The pioneer members of the organization were all rened, highly cultural wo- men of vision. One of their first tasks was the gathering together of a library and the establishment of reading courses. From the first the study of child welfare" and health have held an important place in In- stitute programs. At the time the W.I. was formed there was in exist- ence what was called the Farmers Institutes. From this body came the statement that the W..I. was a society - where the women got together and swapped gossip and recipes, Walker said, and at the same time pointed out that the organization that had been the reason for such joking had gone steadily ahead, while the Farmers Institutes had long since ceased operations.

Motor inns, tea rooms and roadside stands seem to be the most popular enterprises fo.r getting the traveller to spend his money. These, if con- ducted in a sanitary and eicient food, are generally paying proposi- tions. It should `be remembered that anyone of these kind of places should cater to the comfort of the public. Wayside refreshment stand-s plastered over with gaudy `Hot Dog, `Ice Cream and other signs, may catch the eye of the motorist, but d-o not receive the same patronage as the stand that presents a more attractive appearance minus the signs. A lit- ter of produce, empty pop bottles, etc., detracts greatly and motorists pass such places by. Keeping a tea room is a -high- ly specialized eld. While a good cup of tea is essential, novelty, well chosen and grouped colors in the furnishings are equally necessary to draw and bring back again the tour- ists who pass your way. The ser- vice must be quick and dainty. Pretty china and colored linens help wonderfully in pleasing customers. Quality is the chief factor in tea room success. If catering largely to men, they must be given something more substantial than the dainty tea sandwich or iced cake. An honest- to-goodness ham sandwich and piece of pie is more to their liking. Some tea `rooms make a practice of tea-cup reading and this draws custom. Sev- eral magazines have published tea- room management suggestions, which can be procured in booklet form. , The Home Photographer Another protable line of work suggested )by the speaker was home photography.

With eggs only 2c and 3c 3 dozen, and trade at that; hogs 2c a lb. and cream 85c for ve gallons, it was a struggle to keep things going. There never was a time when these people need- ed the gospel more than to-day, and if the church will not come to their aid, other agencies, such as the Third Internationale, Communists, and Bolshevicks will have them under their sway. There are wide areas in Alberta where no service of any kind Many of the settlers are ne people, who came from `Ontario, Britain and the United States, but they have drifted away from the church.
