And considering that she has been taking first prizes in cooking and needlework for over 80 years, one would say that it was indeed her forte, writes Jane Arm. strong in the Mail 'and Empire. Mrs, 'Judge had been canning rasp- berries, and !ooked a "homey" figure in her blue print dress as she display. ed the shining jars ot dep red pre- serve, Beside them was a row of canned beans which had been done the day before. Some of them will enter the Exhibition this Fall. Mrs. Judge is putting in 21 entries altogeth.- er--five of baking and 16 sealers of Jam, vegetables, friut, raspberry vin. egar and black currant vinegar, She has not done any needle work this year because "she has had too much else to do," Mrs, Judge comes from Brampton and she was brought upon a farm and learned to cook from her mother, 'Farmers' wives and daughters have to do these things," Mrs. Judge said as she laughed. "You're sort of brought up knowing how, 1 liked to make butter end over thirty-one years ago in Actop I took first prize for my butter," ~ That seemed to start things, For ever since Mrs, Judge can be counted to take first prize for at:least one or two of her entries, It is 26 years since she first exhibited at the Canadian National Exhibition, During that time she has taken prizes for practically everything in cooking and sewing. "I have a whole trunk of needle. work." Mrs. Judge remembecd, "There ky is a bedspread that took me a year to make, It's white crochet, embroidery and applique. And I have another in white with red applique, Oh, 1 have taken prizes for a lot of things in the past twenty-five years--house-dresses tea-cloths, dinner sets--I entered one a few years ago which was marked perfect. Last year I took first prize for a man's shirt. People are getting go they say to me, "There goes Mrs, Judge who takes all the prizes." "Mrs, Judge Is very modest about it all."She does not see anything very remarkable in the fact that she has been taking first place straight ahead for a longer time than anyone else. When asked about other places where she has enlered her work, she admit. ted she had won first prize at Milton, Acton, Orangeville, Brampton and ' Cooksville, For the past two years _ she has been acting as judge at Ac- ton and will officiate there this year, - During the war she won the $10. for the best collection of canned, dried and preserved vegetables. There were three entries, but Mrs, Judge's was considered the best. She specializes in milk-buns, and bread which sho makes out of her head, ' "I like to get a recipe and then I change it to suit myself, I work with them a bit and they turn out a little different." She was very surprised to learn that an award is to be given to her this year because of her outstanding re-}. cord, "Let mo see," she figured, counting on her fingers. "Yes, I guess it is 26 years, Not many have kept it up that long. I don't remember any of the people who started when I did." Mrs, Judge has another hobby be- glides cooking and that is the raising of canaries. At present she has twelve which she hopes to sell, Some of them are véry tame and will perch on her ghoulders when she lets them out of their cages. She has been breeding them for eight years, starting Dbe- cause she "loves birds." Don't Neglect Wart-like Growths An elderly man whom I have known for years has been troubled with wart-like growths for the past year, writes a doctor. They were brown in color and did not grow much. I found that painting them with collodion- helped to make them wither and disappear. An ordinary wart with a narrow peck may be tied lightly with silk, which remains until the wart falls off. Flat warts may be painted with silver nitrate solution or touched daily with acetic acid until they shrivel up. Thick warts which ulcerate or be- come pigmented need skilled medical attention. In old people especially they heed watching, as such a type of wart frequently becomes malig- nant. Early treatment or excision, if necessary, is the safest in these cases.

Readers willl find this and succeeding articles of absorbing Interest, and are requested to note the special invitation at the foot of this article,) } One of the most interesting letters I have received in a long time came to hand quite recently. It is from a lady in Montreal, and illustrates very neatly bow the lack of understanding creates a great deal of trouble not only between men and women, but between parents and thelr sons and daughters. This lady writes, in part: "Can you help me to understand my daughter?- She is 21 years of age, and is good- looking, has lots of friends of both sexes, but is frequently dificult to get on with at home 1 do got.seem to be able to 'reach her heart' as I would like. She does not take much notice of what I tell her, and is often moody and taciturn with me..." This correspondent has enclosed a specimen of her daughter's writing, and, briefly, it indicates a rather lov- able but somewhat highly-strung na- ture, She has a disposition that is in constant need of sympathy and affeotion. When I turn to the mother's writ. ing, however, it is a rather different story. It shows a great deal of pride, but there Is little evidence of any great sympathy there. And there is indication of a disposition to become easily Irritated at trifles. The trouble in this case lies not so much with the daughter, as with the mother, 1 have no doubt that this lady loves her daughter, but she is inclined to be somewhat harsh and unyielding in her views. She makes no attempt to really understand her daughter. When the girl looks for sympathy and understanding, she gets indiffer- ence. The mother's pride prevents her from really seeing her daughter's point of view. The inevitable result is an estrangement where there should lyou the path to real opportunity and , be mutual sympathy and understand- ing, The girl turns to others where she should, naturally, turn to her mother, : My advice to my correspondent Is to realize that people are not all turn. ed out in the same groove. Some are inured to criticism; others are extremely sensitive to the slightest suggestion of reproof, If people would only strive to UN- DERSTAND others, what a lot of pain and menta!'anguish would be spared. One of the basic values of Grapho- Analysis {s its ability to help people to understand themselves and others, vers quarrel, and separate, often because of an inability to see the oth- er's-side of a question. In a word, be- cause of a lack of understanding. Capable-men and women work dis- interestedly and half-heartedly at a job they despise, because they cannot understand that their real talents lie in another direction altogether. If they realized thls, they could be forg- ing ahead.

When present in the seed- stock it is one factor to account for the condition known as "running out." The symptoms of spindle tuber de- velop in the tops and in the tubers, affected eets being slow to germinate so that the appearance of the plants through the ground is delayed, Spin. dle tuber plants are erect in appear- ance with the leaves smaller than nor- mal, pointed and growing at an un- usually "sharp angle with the main stem. In the early season they are dark green and the leaf surface raised or "puffed" between the veins a symp. tom which is less pronounced as the season advances, The leaves are no- ticeably stiff, ruffled at the margins \ A 7 VIRES!

"OOLONEL P. H. DEACON, ~~ SLWOOD A. HOGHES, a President General Manager dap- ering 8¢8 +44 ab50s horsedom"s and generally rolled upward at the midrib, To the casual observer the latter. condition may suggest leaf roll, which Is incorrect, for the leaves of leat roll plants are characteristically rigid, leathery and brittle. Spindle tu- ber plants produce flowers premature- ly and abundantly, The most significant feature of this disease is its efiect upon the tubers which become unnaturally long and cylindrical, uneven in outline and tap- ering towards the ends. The "eyes" are conspicuous in that they are nu- merous with a tendency to become knobby, a feature particularly notice- able in_potatoes of the Irish Cobbler variety. The longer and more cylin drical type of tuber may develop growth cracks which actually origin- ate when «the tubers. are small-and growing rapidly. Obgervations made at the Charlottetown Laboratory of the Division of Botany reveal that the spindle tuber disease increases in severity when printings are made with seed from affected plants. Preventive measures against this disease are to be recommended as follows: (1) Use Certified Seed Potatoes, (2) Plant only potatoes exhiblting the best type for the variety in ques- tion. 2 (3) Establish a seed plot which should be located not less than 200 feet. from the nearest potato field, Your Diet In the hot weather we seem-to-re- quire less meat, more vegetables, the green peas, which lucky folk who have gardens use as soon as they are gathered and shelled, so that they may have the hest flavor, young cab- bage for salads or to cook, spinach and the yovng caulifiower, so tempt- ingly displayed on the Saturday mar- kets.

W. Llewellyn-Amos, in a letter to the London Times observes the Brandon Sun. The reason ig greater visibility and more safety on highways, Con- vinced by some of his own narrow escapes that dark-colored cars may be extremely difficult to sce. Capt. Llewellyn-Amos has changed to a car having a bright yellow body and a black hood. This provides not only average visibility but contrast. Against a light-colored wall, the sky or any other bright background, the black hood is conspiculous. At dusk, on badly lighted streets at night or against any dark-colored object" the yellow body stands out visibly. The captain does not claim' that this particular yellow and black com- bination is the only one suitable or even the best one, Classified Advertising Tobacco For Sale IRGINIA and Burléy Leaf Tobac- cos; § pounds, pipe, flavoring. $1.00 pestpatd, Donald Fuller, Kingsiilie, ont.
