I have taken 'because mother says" out of my vocabulary. We do not teach children to walk because it makes us tired to 'carry them, and neither should children think that right and wrong is a thing arbitrarily decided by mother's convenience, ------ THE LITTLE BLUE BOOKS. By Helen MacMurchy, M.D, The Ottawa Department of Health has issued still another set of "Little Blue Books" written by the friend of the Canadian child, Dr. Helen MacMurchy, Chief of the Di- vision of Child Welfare, who has already told the young mother many things of value. While this set con- talns "How to take care of Baby," and "How to take care of Children," Dr. MacMurchy goes further and tells us many things about the kind of house in which to bring up the Canadian baby into a healthy con- tented boy or girl. Not of necessity a large or expensive house, but a house capable of being made into a home. She has suggestions for those who are going to begin life in Can- ada in the outlying places and pie- tures of log houses that are certain- ly great improvements on the og houses of the bioneers of the days or the early settlement of Southern Ontario. Then she takes the new home in the more settled part of the country and has all sorts of sugges- tions: rooms for the children, a pecial corner for dad where he can keep his books and papers, a room for mother that is not run over by the family, where she can get some of the rest she needs so sorely. She gives hints dbout plumbing and says even in the country a system can be installed for less than the price of a car and that one of the attractions of the ¢ity for the coun- try boy or girl who likes the refine- ments of life is the modern bath- room. The house she brings before us is not large, but it is all ysed all the time. None of the rooms are shut up until the minister comes to tea or a wedding, a surprise party or a'fun- eral disburbs the even tenor of the daily round. The house is the home of the family to be the pride and joy ® | of each member of it. Then there is a book on king, one fn "How to avold acel- 0 give First Aid." and on avoiding dois and tn perhaps the most important of all) one on "How to Take Care of Fa. ther," who has to bear more than half the responsibility of keeping the home together. A letter to the De- partment of Health at Ottawa will get you a set for yoursel and you will be sure to find them interestin } . HONORED IN HIS HOME LAND. The last issue of The Canadian Farmer has the following article and a front page cut of Geoffrey O' Hara, whose mother is Mrs. Robert O'Hara, William street, and whose Dobbs, rector of St. John's churck. Portsmouth. "With an Irish father and an Irish-Canadian mother, Geoffrey O'- Hara began life with song in his heart. Later it found its way out to his lips and then, later still, he be- gan to write down the music that sang through his being, and now it is sung across several continents. He's a young man yet, but for years, now, concert programmes have car- No Death" that sustained sonorous, reverential, melody, spoke with tri- umphant certainly to a world torn by the teeth of war. "K-k-k-Katie"" caught the troops, and Allenby's army was not the only one that marched to its lliting nonsense. "I'm glad to have written the song that took Jerusalem," he said the other day, in the midst of a de- lightful speech to the Empire Club of Toronto, a speech in which he ground jazz to powder, and flayed its promoters with his gifted Irish tongue; while at the same time he poured out all the eloquence at his command on the beauty and the value of folk music and its need for the development of any nation, Mr. O'Hara was born in Chatham. Ont., is tall and handsome, with plenty of golden hair, which, {be- ing ome of the younger school of masicians) he keeps cropped quite short. He sings his own songs and many other songs, in a' satisfying baritone, and with restraint and feeling--a happy combination. An .other unusual gift is his keen sens: of the value of words, a sense that compels him to write music not tor its sound alone, but also for its suit- ability. This is in a great measure responsible for the popularity of his songs. His most recent triumph oc- curred at the Mendelssohn Choir con- certs in Toronto, when his "Anm. Laurie" brought an enthusiastic re- call, and following this, the youns composer was compelled to rise to his feet in the box where he was sitting and acknowledge the plaudi"e of the vast audience. When next you see Geoffrey 0' Hara's name on song or programme, don't forget he is a true Canadian, and when you sing his music, o1 when it is sung to you, notice how he has caught into it something of the far spaces of his native land: something of the clear skies and the bracing life of the North; some- thing of the high courage and the quick.*catch at laughter" that dis, tin h the Canadian-born and with- al something of the mystic faith that comes to him from Erin, where the soul of music is embrodied." Woman In Public Life, Mrs. Nellle McClung speaking at the Liberal Women's Club had some amusing things and practical, to say on the subject of the everyday wo- man called to wider duties for the State. Such a woman, she said, would not economize on the health of the people, or in the matter of actual necessities, to any class re- celving state ald, or in the matter of education. "A Methodist minister's wife whom I know has already mov- ed 27 times and raised six children: and been president of the Ladies' Ald. Can anyone believe that it would bother her to move a resolu- tion or to raise a point of order? A woman who can take her summer hat and cover the straw with velvet and put back the trimming with a dab of fur, and make it Into a wins er hat, more beautiful in its second reincarnation that it was in its first, surely she could put a bill through {its second reading. Th. old question was often raised: Wil women want to sit in Parliament? Anna Howard Shaw used to say that women had stood at the ironing board for so long, and bent so long ver washing, that they would be glad to sit anywhere. Political clubs for women would be of great service it they plan an educational pro- gramme. The unforgivable mental sin is the closed mind. The person who uses canned thought, instead of digging up fresh thoughts. A new idea is as unwelcome to them as a draft on the back of their neck. Their first instinct is to get up and shut the door." Alexander Mills, Kemptville, has just been appointed sanitary inspee tor, school attendance - officer, po- Mice officer, street surveyor, light in- spector, wood inspector and care- taker of the village hall. J. G. Beatty, Toronto, financier, predicts a big boom in Northern On- tario securities, on his arrival from England with sixty million dollars capital to spend in Canadian enter prises. Jack Dempsey denies that he is interested financially in the propos- ed Oarpentier-Gibbons fight, and says that he will go into motion pic- tures.

TOMORROW'S MENU Breakfast Leftover Canned Pineapple Cereal Coffee Omelet Wholewheat Toast Dinner Lamb Stew (with Potatoes, Peas, Celery and Carrots) Dumplings Fruit Salad, French Dressing Coffee Caramel Custard Supper Welsh Rarebit Apple Muifins Coffee Preserves Raisin Cake PLANNING OUR CAMPAIGN Each Spring brings its problem of fighting the clothes moth. The thrifty housekeeper will go to any amount of trouble to prevent this persistent little pest from ruining the heavier garments which she is laying away for the Sum- mer. The city housewife is more fortunate than her country sister, in regard\to the moth question. For 'every large city has at least one shop which offers fur-storage facilities where heavy coats (even without fur) may be kept during the warm months at a very moderate charge. This saves the housekeeper considerable trouble and anxiety, The woman who lives in the coun- try, however, must become her own clothes-storage expert. The following measures will insure her success in this work: The first step in laying away any sort of wool garment, is to brush it well out of doors, paying special at- tention to seams, pockets, the under side of collars and other places where dust collects and moth eggs are likely to be deposited. Then sun and air the garment for several days. Next, go over it with gasoline or benzine (these substances. do not injure color; but The Editor Hears That in the west there are splen- did camps of Girl Guides under the direction of the Roman Catholic church, Near Winnipeg, Father Morgan gives his patronage to a large camp for girls belonging to his parish, That the Woman's Institute 1s enlarging its work in the three dis- tricts the Whig receives correspon- dence from, and we hear rumors of a new branch to be formed shortly at Barriefleld. -- That in spite of the many gay hats seen in the shop windows, the small black hat continues to hold its own.

A visit to the Girl Guide winter camp now being held in Ontario Hall is quite worth while. About fifty girls and women are to be found there in the evening under the direction of Miss Joyce Wolton, the Red Cord Guider, who has come out from England to forward the Guide movement in Canada. Miss Symes, of Ottawa, the camp comman- dant, is another bright girl, dnd well up in Guide lore. The raising of the colors is a pretty ceremony, a color party being detailed to perform this duty. The Guide games are fascinating even to watch for not only are they good games tion, but each game has a definite around the camp fires at the many summer camps held by the Guides fficienf requiring a quick eye and quick ac- they are extremely inflammable, so the work should be done out of doors.) Some garments are not injured by being saturated with formalin; this ad- ditional measure will absolutely kill moth eggs and larvae, so it is worth using if possible. Dip a small sample, or an inconspicuous part, of the goods into the formalin, as an experiment, be- fore going ahead with the entire gar- ment. After brushing, sunning and cleaning the clothes, we are next confronted with the question of packing them away. There are several methods of doing this: 1. In camphor or tar bags manufactured for the purpose. 2. In home-made, similarly-shaped bags of newspapers with all cracks sealed with gummed paper-tape, 3. In heavy card- board suit-boxes, with cracks sealed with pafer tape. These are all good methods, and the housekeeper may take her choice. Camphor balls, cedar chips, tobacco, wisps of cotton, wet with oil of cedar and then tied in muslin bags, and other moth-repellents are good to use inside of the storage bundles; these repellents will not kill moths or prevent the eggs from hatching if they already exist in the stored garment; but they will keep outside moths away, Hanging the stor- age bundles in a light, airy place will also protect them against further moth- invasion. -- All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in care of the "Efficient Housekeeping" department will he answered in these columns in thair turn.
