For six ren months, my husband has been going out alone and com- ing home in- toxicated. He says if | like it, I can move! "He is unem- ' ployed a lot of the time, though he's physically able to work. 1 work every day and pay the expenses, saving out only carfare and lunch money. When he's out of work, I get a blessing- out every Saturday for paying what we owe that week and buying groceries--instead of giving the money to him. (He has left the house with 330 and home without a cent.) ) "Lately, a woman has heen call- ing him at home. He makes an excuse and leaves the house, How Long? "Last week | told him © still loved him, and wanted him to straighten out. But [ couldn't rea- son with him at all "Now I'm at my wits' end, [ can hardly do my work, Can you advise me? come DISCOURAGED" If you are supposed to pay the houschold bills, then be the man of the house, and act like it. Arrange alfairs so you pay cash for everything you buy. That will show you where your money goes, and you can plan a bit ahead. i When your husband is not working, pive him carfare and lunch money, and nothing more. If he wantdy to keep on drinking and running around, he'll have to carn the money himself, When he has a position, he should at least share the living expenses.

If you are brave enough to act upon this, you can relieve yourself of this heavy burden of guilt, and start past. The man is supremely selfish, of course. So it is you who must clear the path ahead.

Laing George Washington St. Xavier Scadd Was far too truthful for a lad: He viewed with innocent surprise A world of comfort built on lies And he declared he'd do his best To put the truth to every test. His parents, horrified, said "Nol Please spare the world this horrid blow." But since he would not lear their plea And blurted truth with horrid glee, They took his great ancestor's axe And laid him low with forty whacks, Here It Is Ladies --The Perfect Button Ladies and gentlemen, the pers fect button has arrived! It fulfils all 'the requirements of the ideal but- ton for which men and women but- ton-makers in Britain have been striving for at least 300 years, A perfect button for milady's dresses, blouses, coats, costumes, underwear and overalls should be weatherproof, colour fast, immune from the attacks of rats and mice and insects, It should retain its lustre, be odourless and non-in- flammable. And it should be able to withstand frequent washing and boiling and the effects of solvents used in dry-cleaning, not to men- tion the heat of the giant clothes presses which many cleaners use. Well, this new bufton--perfected by an Essex firm after months of research--has all these qualities, according to a button expert, It is made from a special synthetic ma- terial, ' As for the buttons worn by mere men, makers say they are pretty good already. It was different with women's buttons, many of which have always been something of a headache of the rougher wear they get, And in the wash dyes come off some of them, Burdens beconie light re eerfully borne, ~0vid, if 5 3 Cn bi ln Ge CA as ie "Will Be Plain bo Anything. but flowers. is. the-Jast--- * luctant to venture foo far away "taffeta, patterns are in one or 'two «| middle ground in most collections. the child out untouched by your. when AN Prints For Spring word -in Paris spring prints and it appears that they're lacking on top of the Canadian chapeau as well this spring. * .

And yet there is every rcason for us to be think- ing about it right now -- at least it we can rely on the subject mat- ter of an editorial in the FARM- ER'S ADVOCATE and CAN- ADIAN COUNTRYMAN -- Feb- ruary 23. This editorial states quite openly that a movement is on foot to have the "Royal" open for busi- ness on Sunday -- that is ,the Sun- day that comes midway during the time the Fair is on. The editorial is quite obviously against it and won- ders what attitude we farmers will take in the matter. What, indeed! This is a matter that should "be discussed by farm groups and ag- -ricultural organizations from one end of the province to the other. The "Royal" is our fair. It was organized, primarily in the interest of agriculture. Do we want it "chicapened and used as one more means of creating an open Sun-{. day? We know there are quite a num- ber of farmers, mostly fruit and market gardeners, who seem to think it necessary to work on the Sabbath, but the majority of farm- ers still regard Sunday as a day of rest -- insofar as it can be where winter chores are almost an all- day job. I have spoken to several people about this subject and not one has been in favour of having the "Roy- al" open for business on Sunday. The nearest to it was one man who said he would like to see the Fair open, but not for business, That _ is to say, an admissiof fee could be charged and people allowed to go through the barns ,the horse palace and the flower show, but no judging or show ring events should be allowed. And definitely no com- mercial side shows -- which, after all, are merely an attraction to peo- ple who "are not in the least inter- ested in farm animals or farming _operations, There is also another way of looking at it , , , suppose the Royal were to open on Sundays. It would just be the thin edge of the wedge. If the Royal stayed dépen then there would be a clammering from some quarters to have the Canadi- an Exhibition stay open on Sun- days -- which heaven forbid. And if the Exhibition stayed open there would be other places of amuse- ment that would think they should do likewise. Very soon there would be more commercialized amusement on Sunday than on -any day of the week. Apparently the idea of keeping thé Royal open on Sundays has been tentatively suggested as a means of making more money -- according to the editorial it "might mean the difference between sur- - resolution " sweater, "divulged after an investigation into plus and deficit." And does the management think any good would come of a new' venture which de- liberately and publicly flouts the fourth commandment? Dear knows, many of us are guilty enough in that respect, byt at least it remains a personal matter, 2 If the Royal is not paying its way why not have it stay open the whole two weeks -- Sundays ex- cepted? Or raise the admission fee. People who arc really anxious to go would probably pay an extra 25 cents as easily as not. Rather hard on a big family, of course, but then: children could be taught that if they want to go to the Big Fair they must save their pocket money and pay their own way, Too often, with easy indolence, we farm people sit back and let changes take place to which we are actually opposed. Too late we re- alize we could have stopped any given change had we really tried. In regard to the Royal Winter Fair we have been given plenty of time to think about it. I hope farm folk all over the province will make their voices heard. To make this possible the matter should be dis- cussed by all farm organizations at their regular meetings, If the ma- jority of members are against an open Sunday at the Royal, tlitn a should be properly drawn up, signed by the mover and seconder, and by the president and secretary, and have a copy of the resolution sent to the Board of Directors of the Royal Winter Fair, and also one to the Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable T, L. Kennedy, : Let agriculture raise its voice in protest in this matter which is of such vital| importance to itself. Don't: let this be one more occa- sion for. saying too little -- and saying 'that little too late, But maybe I am saying too much -- and saying that much, too soon! What do our readers think? ' ---- "Fuzzy" Sweaters Can Be Dangerous For safety £ sake stay away from." fire if yow're wearing a "iuzzy" This information was the "exploding" sweaters, by L. A. Bradley, textile chemist, Yarn used in this fabric, he pointed out, is not in itself dan- gerous. But he believes any swea- ter with a thick, brushed nap will burn rapidly. High flammability of such sweaters is due to the lovse weave of the cloth, approxi- mately 40 threads to the square inch, and brushed nap not to an explosive finishing chemical. * Head of the research depart- ments of the American institute of laundering expressed his opin- fon that any sweater with such a loose weave and brushed nap would burn ag rapidly, He believes. it makes no difference whether e cloth were viscose, or cellu- lose acetate rayon. were Jewish, His NDAY SCHOOL ~ ByRev.R.B. Warcen, BA, B.D. Timothy A Dependable Follower ". (Temperance Lesson) "Acts 161-3; Philippians 2:19-24, . 2 Timothy 2:1.5,. Memory Selection! Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an "example of the believers, in work, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12, On Paul's first visit to-Lystra, in Asia Minor, he was 'stoned, drawn out of the city and left for dead. But as the troubled deciples stood around, he rose up. To some it may have seemed that his mission there was a failure. But when he 'returned to Lystra on his next mis- _ sionary journcy there was a young disciple, Timothy, ready to ac- company him in spreading the gos- pel. Timothy's mother Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, were women of unfeigned faith, They father was a Greek, In the lesson second portion Paul is writing from Rome during. his first imprisonment, He pro- poses to send to Philippi, Timothy, who had ministered there with Paul in the beginning. From Paul's words we: can see that Timothy 'was truly a minister. He was not out for himself. SO The final lesson portion is from Paul's last letter written shortly before his execution, He urges Timothy to endure hardness. keep free. from the" entanglements .of secular affairs and fight the good fight in Christian manner, Church history assures us that Timothy, who in youth became a worthy example of believers, continued so to the end. : How different his life would have been had he, as so 'many of our youth today, became enslaved to strong 'drink. Thank God he didn't, "Alcoholism is a disease. That is perfectly true, but no one ever contracts the discase who does not drink alcohol." Hints On Caring For Cut Flowers Unpack flowers as soon as they arrive. Cut stems diagonally 'with a sharp knife to remove dried cells and permit the flowers to drink freely. "Harden" them by plunging thiem into a deep bucket of cold water and leaving them in a dark room * for two or three hours before ar- ranging. Keep them away from draughts, direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Add fresh water daily and recut stems whenever flowers seem to tire, Arrange them so that - colors, shapes and sizes are in harmony with the container and the whole arrangement is in harmony with the room. If you would have the nuptial union last, let virtue be the bond that ties it fast. --Nicholas Rowe.
