And Big Part Women Played Recent death of the aged widow of a former Premier of Manitoba has sent many to the hook "Women of the Red River," by W. J. Healy, provin- cial yihrarian of Manitoba, for an ac- count of her pioneer life "On the floor of the house where | was born," recalled Mrs. John Nore quay, widow of Hon, John Narquay, Premier from 1878 to 1887, "were Iu dian, mats, The Indians wove (hem from rashes and stained them with vegetable dyes which they made themselves, We made all our own furniture. The fireplace was made of mud, and so was the chimney." Very different was the stone house at the Rapids where she lived out her days, Of him whose miniature she always wore in a brooch at her throat, Mrs, _ Norquay said, thinking of her early "Uinarried lite, "We did not have much, but our wants were simple, I bad never believed that I could live on fish, as we had to do when the grass- hoppers came and ate. "everything green. Salt was a scarce thing in the settlement We preserved our meat by drying, not by salting, "Sugar was scarce, too, and we had 'no cakes or pies, and we had to preserve our ber- 'ries by drying." ' _An ardent churchwoman all her life, . Mrs, Norquay recalled much of the history of the first stone church, St. Andrew's, at The Rapids, Bishop Cochrane she knew when she was a little girl, The churclt was conse- crated when she was s¢drce eight, yet as an old lady she recalled standing in its porch then, watcliing the people stream down from the gallery, Along with other children, she had to wail, did little Elizabeth Setter, for R spoon to eat her dinner with, when the buildars of that church .came to the nearby settlers for meals, "There were not enough spoons, so we ran down to the riverside and got shells for spoons," she recalled 80 years later, Husband Becomes Premier At the time of the Riel rebellion, 1869-70, the Norquays were living at High Bluff. Reil's men came to their house for hay for their horses and water for their tea, on their march to Portage la. Pairie, On December 30, 1870, it was a happy mother and child. ren who heard the news of their fath- er's election as member for High Bluff to the first legislature of the six- months™old province of Manitoba. Eight years later it was the Premier Qf the Province that the family wel. comed at the door.{; In his Premier's "days, when they moved into the stone house, it was Mrs, Norquay who kept John's books and fyles in order for him. She read and saved much that was printed con- cerning the Premier, To the end she retained her interest in political. af- fairs, which she loved to conmipare with those of the old days, : v Ot the early days, when she and John began farming at High Bluff, Mrs, Norquay herself has told of some of the things required of settlers 70 years ago. "We made potato starch for our own use; we made our own candles, and in the evening, the wo- men baked the grain and ground ft in. to querns ready for next morning's breakfast, "We used to take wheat to one of the mills to be ground. Sometimes for lack of wind, the windmills could not grind, and John Tait's water "mill at Parkdale, on the creek between St. Andrew's and St. Paul's, was in such times kept busy." At the McAllister house, at St. Andrew's, is stil] to be sec the Norquay quern, or hand mill : 1 for grinding wheat, - British Health--and Cooking Sir. George Newman, British Min- ister of Health, has issued "his annual xeport, It is, contrary to what might have been expected, a very encourag- ing document; notes the Montreal Star. Sir George shows that the death-rate fell from 12.8 per 1,000 to 12 per 1,000, and the death-rate of infants under one year from 66 per 1,000 to 65 per 1,000; while, "except in certain localized areas, and in some special and restricted groups," there has been no great excess of sickness, ill-health or physical incapacity attri- buted to unemployment. And this in spite of the fact that the population in the 118 large cities and towns of the country is dense; that hundreds of thousands of that population are rompellad to exist in slums that facil- ties for contracting infection Ly tlose community of contaet are "aboundiag and expanding." In spite of all these disadvantages, declares Sir George, England has enjoyed for some years "a period of - physical bealth unsurpassed in our history." "But, Sir George continue., despite ike fact that the extraordinary range of good markets, home and overseas, _tombined with expeditious transport, has brought to English families the material for securing a dietary be- yond the dreams of their forefathers, attractive and nutritious, "we do not use it sufficiently or wisely, We coa- tinue many old bad habits in regard lo meals, which we permit to become monotorous and stale, badly cooked, unappetising, untidily served." To this the tourist from overseas has, unfortunately, added his very em- phatic testimony from time to time, It would almost seém as though the English race are healthy in spite of their neglect of certain aids to health. At the same time, Sir George utters a warning about the fortification of foods by artificially added vitamiua. "If," he declares, "a halt is not called 10 this indiscriminate dosing of foods with vitamins, there is a possibility of a disturbance of the balance of nu- trition which may have wide-reaching éffects, ard which it is not unreason. #ble to contemplate with some uneasi- Mees" There are, however, certain _pafeguards which are being ealled into ge fhe medical officer of he ealth Department of the League of Nations recently testified that he had 'fpspected health conditions in many ecuntries, and found that the differ- ence in England was that they had the medical machinery already avails . bble for meeting exceptional circum- stances, and that they were using it. ~ Thereidh may lie in the final analysis, the real explanation of the nation's otherwise inexplicably ruddy health, 'pound of turnips. a limited amount of straw. -------- Winter Feed for Horseg For the idle horse in winter, or for horses that merely require what may be termed a maintenance ration, "The Feeding of Horses" circular, issued by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, recommends for every hund- ved pounds of the horse's weight a feed of one pound of mixed hay, one To this might be tdded a small feed daily of bran and oats in equal parte.

PRINS Para Strang CHAPTER 1, A worried little frown gathered be- tween Jean Graham's golden brown eyes as she gazed round the crowded rooms, Wherever was Euan? had not seen her brother since they had arrived at the Casino, when very adroitly he had vanished. But it was getting late and they were leaving Monte Carlo the next morning; be- sides, she was afraid he was indulg- ing in a last flutter and that it might be di-astrous.. His gambling efforts $0 often were. The thought of what he might already have lost terrified her, and in spite of his repeated as- surances that he was not in debt, she looked forward to their departure from Monte Carlo with deepest relief, Bu' where was he? Jean's eyes travelled from face to face of those ranged three deep about the green buize tables; tense, anxious or mildly amused faces, watching the little white ball careening round the Wheel of Chance, The famous and the in- furious were there; duchesses rubbing shoulders with the notorious; film stars, royalties, professional gamblers ~--those men and women who sat there day in and out, mesmerized by the spinning wheel of fortune, or res- pectable fathers of families indulging in a mild flutter and feeling immense- ly dashing, Jean shuddered. 1t may Lave been her deadly anxiety for Euan which was making her ner ously morbid, but tonight the whole 1 ing &eemed hor- rible to her--alm¢ t obscene. . She hated the masklikc faces, the grab- bing or hoarding : ands of the old habitues and fancic | that with each twist of the whee. not just a few francs risked for t = sake of adven- ture were lost, but ;. human soul, Euan's perhaps. ... That, she told herself, was silly; £2 must pull her- self together, but ¢'e would like to find him. "¢Turning, : he found herself face to face with Bavon Max de Laur- ier, who must have been standing close behind her. St: -tled, she caught her breath, and fro: very dislike of the man shrank back with a little in- voluntary movement, - Her attitude seemed rather to am- use the Frenchman than otherwise and his ebony black eyes smiled apprais- ingly down at her, resting with. evi- dent approval upon the gold lame dress which clung like a sheath to her slender form and which so well blended with her sun-kissed skin and hair, "Mademoiselle, you are golden to- night, like a daughter of King Midas," 'he flattered. "You have certainly had much luck." "No," Jean replied. "I never play." With which she made as if to pass 'on, a movement which Monsieur the Baron ignored. - "But! You cannot come to Monte Carlo and not play!" With an auth- oritative movement he drew out a chair which had just fallen vacant at the tuble. "Come, we will play to- gether." Jean shook her head decidedly. . "No, thank you. I don't really care about it." His eyes narrowed and a faintly derisive epression twisted his full red lips. "Mademoiselle is not like her bro- ther, then." Jean glanced at him sharply, "D'you know where Euan is?' "Oh!" he laughed. "He is busy pursuing Dame Fortune, no doubt. Let us go out. The moon is up and the Terraces are beautiful." There was something faintly com- pelling in the man's voice from which the girl shrank. Flinging a quick glance about her, she saw with relief that her friend, Helen Gorst, was ris- ing from the next table. "Thank you, but I must go back to Mrs. Gorst. We are going home, I think," she prevaricated, beginning at the same time to edge away. The Frenchman opened his lips: to protest, then instead closed them and smiled. Bowing a little exaggerating- Jy, hé murmured: "Till another time, night, mademoiselle." then; Good the girl with a strange expression in their depths. As Jean came up, Mrs, Gorst, who was tucking her modest winnings into her bag, looked up and smiled. "I've made my pile, and- I'm going home before 1 lose it again" She spoke inconsequently, but her eyes did "not fail to take in the strained, rather tired expression of the younger girl's face. "Why don't you come, too?" she suggested kindly. "I'll drop you." Jean hesitated. She longed to go, but there was Euan, Ought she to leave him? ; Helen Gorst watched her a moment, and her expression softened as gently she said: "My dear, what's the use? - You can't live his life for him." Jean looked at her, then smiled faintly. : "I know, but he's such an ass where money is concerned." Still, Helen was right, She could do nothing now, and tomorrow, thank God, they were leaving Monte Carlo and its Casino. "All right, I'll come," she said. .

"What, going home so carly?" she screamed, on seeing them, "We. aust be off early tomorow, Mrs. Winton," Jean explaired. The woman stared at her with cynical amusement, whilst her fingers, reddened at the tips as if they had been dabbled in blood, played with the lovely string of pearls about her neck --pearls justly famous amongst the connoisseurs along the Riviera. "My dear!" She laughed rather harshly, then shrugging her shoul- ders, moved on, . Jean and Mrs, Gorst emerged from the Casino and waited whilst the Commissionaire called a taxi, The fresh night air was delicious after the heat of the rooms and Jean drew harbor the portholes of the yachts glimmered brightly, sending serpents of light wriggling over the water, The Casino gardens, too, were abloom with a mysterious colored radiance from the cleverly shaded red and green lights hidden within the shrubs, and from the open air cafe on the right came the 'twanging wail of gypsy music, which caught sadly at the 'hart. had wanted to see the Riviera, yet now she was glad to leave it! Not that she was disappointed in the coun- try, that was beautiful, but for sev- eral reasons her visit had not been a success. To begin with, she had not cared for their hostess, Euan had met the Winstons the previous winter in Switzerland and to please him she had agreed to accept their invitation to stay at Ies Palmiers. As soon as they had arrived, however, Jean had seen that Doreen was far from good for her young brother, leading him nightly to the Casino and urging him to gamble. Soon she had found her- self seriously worried over Euac's losses, for although he never told ker definitely how large they were, she guessed from his touchiness and eva- sive manner that they were far in excess of what either of them could afford. ' } "The man is a long time getting us a taxi," remarked Mrs. Gorst. "Isn't he?" Jean dragged her thoughts back and looked at llelen. How kind she was; with her simplic- ity and directness of manner, what a contrast to Doreen. She was forty, perhaps, round and short, too, but she was always well and suitably dressed,. which was more tnan could be said of Mrs. Winston, with her searlet nails, her exaggerate: clothes, her codliail drinking and he: gampl- ing, To have. met Helen Gorst re- compented her mor: than a little fou her unpleasant visit at Les Palmiers. The Commissionaire returned breathless, - ~ "I regret, but Madame must wait a little minute. There is no taxi free." "Oh, how tiresome!" : At Helen's ejaculation two men who were passing turned, and one of them stopped. : "Mrs. Gorst? By jove, what luck. Here, Dan, wait a bit." Involuntarily Jean smiled at .the exuberance of the greeting and looked with curiosity at the tall young man with the bronzed face ahd laughing blue eyes who was wringing Helen's hand. He had a clean open-air look to. him which attracted her immense- ly, especially in comparison with the gigolos and scented foreigners she had met whilst under Doreen's roof. As soon as she could free her hand, Helen Gorst introduced him, "This is Jerry Grant, an old friend of mine, Jean. Miss Graham," The Keen blue eyes smiled down at her in a friendly fashion as they shook hands and Jean found herself liking him immensely, Evidently Grant was attracted also, for the smile in his eyes faded to something n.ore serious and he held her hand for just a shade longer than was neces- sary; Then laughing gaily, he asked: "Are you going or coming?" "We're trying to go; but there seems to be no taxis," Helen explained. "Take ours. It's only a Rolls Royce, but I daresay you won't mind. Oh, and by the way--" Grant beckoned to his friend, a lapky young man pos- sessed. of a wide grin and wearing glasses before a pair of merry grey eyes. "This is Dan Washburn, He's American and by way of being a jour- nalist, get red-hot, straight from the heart, news! Incidentally, the car is his." Jean found herself laughing as she shook hands. i Helen smiled, but playfully shook her head at Grant. : 4 ; "You shouldn't offer, other people's cars about like this, Jerry. .

When we remember that the milk delivered to the city housewife is generally at least thirty-six hours old, the impor- . tance of preventing bacterial growtn is obvious, 3 on To check the growth of bzcteria, milk must be cooled promptly to a suitable temperature. Promptnsss of cooling is of value in 'conserving the so-called "germicidal property" of the milk, as experiments conducted by the Division of Bacteriology, Central Experimental Farm, have demon- strated. This simply means . that where' milk is cooled without delay, temperature high enough for moderate growth of bac- teria to take place, th: rate of growth, will be much slower than if cooling had been delayed. Cooling to a low enough temperature simply means making conditions so unfavorable that the milk-souring bacteria will be un- able to grow: This limit is reached at. about 450 F., hence the efficient dairyman strives to cool the milk to it there at all times.
