THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 1932 Woman's World By MAIR M. MORGAN "A Woman's Place Is In the H< The Best Medicine With winter snooping around the corner and rain slapping agaii now panes we are tempted to the Are and dream. It is a timely warning to write that the best medicine of all is fresh air. It is strange but even in these enlightened days, many people are afraid of it. They do not mind the fresh air of a calm mers day but immediately the air gets a nip in it or there is rain, hail, they huddle themselves up, shut all the doors and windows, and stay cut of the cold. This is the way to foster ill-health. If you want a plant to grow strong and healthy, you plant it in open ground and let the rain and win batter upon it as well as allow the sun to do its work The sun, no doubt, brings the blooms, but the rain and the \ make the plant strong and healthy and vigorous, enough to bring forth the blossoms which the sun or .mi Many people, when October sets in, exclude fresh "St from their homes, and fear Tresh air for their children. They take their children to school and ask the teacher to keep them draughts and not allow them to go into the playground in case they catch Sitting in stuffy rooms poisons the tissues of young and old, besides weakening the pores of the skin The skin reacts t„ the atmosphere. The pores close to atmospheric conditions, hermetically sealing the body against chill from the elements. This is only if the body is allowed certain degree of light and air Tc much sitting in stuffy rooms has weakening or demoralizing effect upon the skin and the pores do not react. Thus it happens that people who stay indoors a good deal are always suffering from cold or "catch cold so easily that they are afraid to go out. If they would be less afraid they would have bette-- health. Every woman in charge of a house should, now that the season of fires and closed-in rooms is upon us, make it a habit to allow fresh air to flow freely through the house at least twice a day. A systematic opening of doors and windows should be adopted morning and evening, so that the house is adequately aired in the morning after the night, and in the evening after the day. In this way the air can be kept fresh and the atmosphere ^prevented from getting stuffy. Daily walks should not be neglected, nor the children forgotten. A romp the fresh air will make a pale, listle child rosy and merry again.

You will find that this give- just the required finish. Here's a new way to cook peas: Place a few outside leaves of lettuce at the bottom of a saucepan, sprinkle with salt, put i-i peas, and shut the lid tightly. Add no water, as the lettuce provides plenty. Simmer gently till done, and before serving place a piece of butter on the peas. Serve very hot. Sprinkle a little sugar in the bottom of a tin in which biscuits are to be kept. This keeps them crisp and fresh. If you have to wear spectacles when cooking you may be troubled by the learn misting them. Rub t' lenses ith soap, then polish well and the glasses will keep clear. French Pancakes.--2 eggs, 2 oz. 1 r, 2 oz. sifter sugar, 2 oz. flour, pint milk. Beat the butter to a cream, add the eggs (well beaten), stir in the sugaj and flour, and when well mij add the milk (slightly warm). B :ture for a few minutes, put buttered plates, and bake in a quick oven for 20 minutes. Serve with lemon and sifted sugar. Eggs will beat rr.uch quicker if a little hot water is added to them first. This '-;o has the effect of making cakes an1, puddings much lighter. Biscuit time is here and here two old favorites: Campus Romance An ideal couple.

A smart tailor-made suit is best, made from a fabric that is not loud or gaudy, and with "this one hand-knitted sweater must be included.

It is also very good when ironing or roasting bread.

They weres more numerous than the nice, happy incidents. But the latter gave me nothing. The difficulties of life have hardened my spirit. They ave taught me how to live.--Mus- Watching the Pageant of India An Akali, a wild-eyed, wild-haired Sikh devotee in th,) bluechecked clothes of his faith, with polished-steel quoits glistening on the cane of tall blue turban, stalked past, returning from a visit to one of the independent Sikh States, where he had been singing the ancient glories of the Khalsa to College-trained princelings in top-boots and white, cord breeches. Kim was careful not to irritate that man; for the Akali' temper is short and his arm quick. Here and there they met or were overtaKen by the gaily dressed crowds of whole villages turning out to some local fair; the women, with their babes on their hips, walking behind the men , the older boys prancing on sticks of sugar-cane, dragging rude brass models of locomotives such as they sell for a halfpenny, or flashing the sun into the eyes of their betters from cheap toy Queer Mistakes of Smell Many curious disorders recorded by physicians in man's most neglected sense, that of smell, are collected by Dr. Ernest M. Seydell of Wichita, Kansas, in a report published by the American Medical Association. This is briefly summarized by Dr. E. Free as follows, in his Week's Science (New York): 'To one patient, himself a physician, violets always smelled like phosphorus. 'To another, the asphalt used in eet paving seemed to have a sickening odor. 'Still another thought that everything smelled like cabbage. To one more fortunate individual it seemed that everything smelled like heliotrope. A person who took a dose of the headache and fever remedy called antipyrine smelled a continuous odor of cinnamon. In another pati-i dose of the drug called santonin produced a smell of something burn-A sexton exhuming a buried body was oppressed by the odor of decay, until he opened the coffin and found it completely clean and empty. "There exist, also, persons whose smell-sense apparently is normal but who can not recognize what they smell until the odors are named; a condition which Dr. Seydell believes indicate disease of cercain parts the brain. Smell disorders should be more studied by physi-, Dr. Seydell believes, especially by post-mortems on the bodies of persons known to have had such disorders, so that corresponding abnormalities in the nose, the nerves, or the brain may be discovered." ■many boasts the largest soap A little later a marriage procession would strike into the Grand Tmnk with music and shoutings, and a smell of marigold and jasmine stronger even than the -eek of the dust. One could see the bride's rhooly, a blur of red and tinsel, staggering through the haze, while the bride-bewreatted pony turned aside to snatch a mouthful from a passing fodder-cart. . . .

By this time the sun was driving broad golden spokes through the lower branches of the mango trees; the parakeets and doves were coming home in their hundreds; the chattering, gray-backed Seven Sisters, talking over the .day's adventures, walked back and forth in twos and threes almost under the feet of the travellers; and shufflings and scufflings in the branches showed that the bats were ready to go out on the night-picket. ... Then the night fell, changing the touch of the air, drawing a low, even haze, like a gossamer veil of blue, across the face of the country, and bringing out, keen and distinct, the smell of wood-smoke and cattle and the good scent of wheaten cakes cooked on ashes. The evening patrol hurried out of the police station with orders.- Snap Shots Sunday School Lesson Human hair is half as strong as the steel used in structural work.

This is due to the fact that different types of people, as well as people in various occupations, from force of habit tie particular types of knots. Says Popular Mechanics (Chicago) : Textile workers, for example, use ie weavers' knot, cattlemen and people used to horses often use the Texas bowline, lumbermen and truck-the timber hitch, physicians the surgeons' knot, farmers the Tom Fool's knot, and seamen use several distinctive ties. These and many others are carefully tabulated and placed on exhibit where crime investigators compare the specimens with clues, such as bundle wrappings or knots used to bind victims. s case, where nearly all the evidence pointed to the theory that l had been thrown to his death from a boat, an alert detective proved likely by showing the knots tie the victim's feet were the work of a landlubber. In another instance, knots used n tying bundles or narcotics together led to seizure of a gang of dope pedlars, because the knots were similar ; UIlkeeP o£ hospitals. But th to those used previously in a smug- inot define what gled shipment in which the shipper was known. Not only c casional knot, but he can also tell something of the person who tied it. He knows if the knot is right or left-handed, and he studies it for additional kinks or twists often put in by force of habit by the person making the knot. In such instances, a detective may build a conclusive case against a suspect by merely asking him to knot a piece of twine. ! personality, Amos I Cycle-stealing is Becc •alent in Cape Town, that the police want machines to be 3: 2. sed and officially stamped with : mber to aid in identification. 11-15.

They know that life's law is "use or loss" (vs. 21, 22) yet they refuse to develop their possibilities. -Failure to do so brings, not an arbitrary loss, but an inevitable loss. The muscjle unused becomes eventually impotent, the brain unused deteriorates, the soul unfed It w£o the Master's intention that these men, each in his own place in life, should develop all his powers. It is our Father's will that the world's business should be carried on so that men may grow to a full, well-rounded An economic system based on the profit motive prevents that. It is estimated that only one-third of the population, in our highly-industrialized countries are comfortably above the poverty line. A Christian social order will so distribute the rewards of labor that every man who does his best will all that God intended.
