CLEAN BREAD, WELL WRAPPED Everyone who makes, handles, buys, sells and eats bread must realize the great danger from impurities to which bread is subject from the time it leaves the oven until it reaches the mouth of the consumer, because of exposure to so frequent, and often careless, handling. 5 F? .mV se uot s #2 We bupdins B »unbedindatetciedline tubano Fnsrinpetian M Bread Wrappors weore first made in Canada by The Eddy Company for Wim. Feeley, a baker, in Hull, P. Q., with such satisfactory results that they have since been adopted by leading bakers of Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and elseâ€" where, so that Bread Wrappers are comâ€" ing into more general use. From â€" a clean, wholesome, sanitary . point of view, the advantage of bread wrapped immediately upon being taken from the oven, appeals to every consumâ€" et, as an important move in the direction of pure food. When there are impurities in the water supply of any of our cities, the public immediately demand that the authoriâ€" ties do everything at any cost to preâ€" vent contamination, and to stay disease; it seems quite as important that our bread suppty should be as carefully guarnded (Blanche E.

I want to put in a plea for the little child, whose Christmas joy will soon warm the great world‘s heart anew to its decpest glow of love and tenderress. In the interests of this dear little child ard the approaching Christmas, I have been making a bit of practical childâ€" study, my own small daughter being the subject thereof. Little Flizabeth is over two old, and at the time of this she is at home alone with me morning. Now, what plays does she choose, or choose ofterest _ without suggestion from anyone _ elsc, when playing alone at home? This is what interests me; and, sitting at my sewing, I like . to observe my little one living out her impressions of life in her play. In her baby mind her play is not play at all, but work; for many times she will look up seriously from it and remark, "I busy, Mamma," thus seekâ€" ing recognition as a person . of usefulâ€" ness and importance. Part of Elizabeth‘s morning play alâ€" ways centres around what . she calls her "baby broom"â€"a popcorn | stalk with a husk at one end. With this proceeds to "fweep‘" the floor and the rugs, industriously poking into the corâ€" ners and diving under the bed, as she has seen me do. When this amusement palls, she knows where _ another delightful plaything hangs on a low wall. It is nothing but an old damp cloth, yet my wee houseâ€" maid seizes it with joy, and _ with it scrubs the window sills or floor, back and forth, a halfâ€"hour at a time, until rag and little hands are grimy enough. buring the afternoon, little Elizabeth | is kept out of doors as long as the | sunshine lasts. I have been interuted‘ in noticing what most attracts the atâ€" tention of this little girl, as her hand | in mine, we travel down the city street. | Is she drawn to the gay and beautiful costumes of the elegant ladies we meet? No she is utterly indifferent to these: The shop windows are very alluring as we pass on; yet the baby eyes never | seem to se> the rainbow show of dry! goods, not even the beautiful baby wear. . k{ittle Elizabeth is pleased, to be sure, . with the toy store window and its disâ€" play of dolls and hobby horses. But what is that pleasure to the ecstasy with which she stops in front of a hardware store and utters the two words, ‘"Shubâ€" beuls, Mamma!" Not even the groups of playing chilâ€" dren have the same fascination for my dainty, whiteâ€"gowned little maid as have a row of dirty laborers, shovel in hand, digging on the street. After regarding these sons of toil in silent rapture for some time, she spreads wide her arms with a most expressie gesture and . exâ€" cl:i.;n: in a tone of deepest selfâ€"commisâ€" eration, ‘"Not any shubbul, Mamma !" I have come to the conclusion that the artistic and poetic sense is decidedâ€" ly embryonic in very little children ; hence that beautiful toys, _ beautiful books, beautiful clothing can make but little impression upon their minds; that not even lovely nature herself appeals to the very little child as â€" does hard, goarse, common human labor. C€omrso, ComiMMWM EMAAA CCC God said to man, "In the sweat of‘ thy face shalt thou eat bread," _ and | the little child comes into the world qrrcctille. ucade th aenitinans in the Godâ€" l the little child comes into the world cheerfully ready to acquiesce in the Godâ€" given mandate. Alas, how _ studiously and systematically do we go to work to climinate this likewise Godâ€"given _ inâ€" stinct! It is always "Not any shubbul," from the baby times up, if we can posâ€" sibly manage it. So now, dear motherâ€"reader, I wuntl to ask you, as the busy holiday season comes on, not to spend all your money at the toy counter, nor in babyâ€"wear deâ€" partment, nor among the â€" children‘s booksâ€"beautiful as these may be; nay, do not even let the kindergarten supply ‘eompanie- get all your spare change ! But with your purse still unemptied of quite all its contents, descend to the nether, gaslit depths of the mysterious wonderâ€"hiding basement regions. There your wandering eye may perâ€" || chance light upon _ the nicest little brooms, â€" designed for real uses but small enough for baby hands to wield. There, also you may find those deâ€" lightful little washboards, meant . for actual grownâ€"up use, but oh, how perâ€" fect for baby‘s reallyâ€"truly washing of bibs, handkerchiefs and dusters ! Then, too, off in another corner you must look for tins â€"charming _ little square tins, round tins, ‘"kittyâ€"cornerâ€" ed" tins, not makeâ€"believes at all, but things useful in any kitchen. With what satisfaction Miss Baby will pat down pieces of dough in those little pans and clap them into the oven with the family baking! ‘ Also small baskets are in orderâ€"not . the fancy, Indian, sweetâ€"scented affairs upstairs, but market baskets of the baseâ€" met type, small enough to hang comâ€" fortably on a baby arm, it is true, but also big enough to carry to the store and hold what the grocer boy forgot to bring for the dinner. Look around further in the basement and you might find the weeâ€"est, daintâ€" | jest, darlingest scrubbing brushes, just right for window sills and . doorsteps. | But there! perlnr I am too radical! |â€"Get a mechanical calf instead, if you wishâ€"but it will cost you more money | and give the wee folk far less _ pleaâ€" 1 videdâ€"a little print . work ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO DISTEMPER :25z years writing in â€"the t _°r\ Now, as always, the . glove is a i0n | standby Christmas gift, Other items one in feminine adorning last for months, me ; |nud yet others for generations, _ but to gloves are always going the way of her lmo-t things earthly and one‘s stock | constantly requires repkni-hinfi. not * Generally finking. white gloves are mes | not in the highest favor save with white and | dvesses, or Sm dresses _ with white eek. | guimpes or white lace trimmings, . or fulâ€" ‘when ermine is worn with these same | dark dresses. an I ; CORNS CURES® ‘ “za\'n ;)a': plnlm{z;e{no" 3.‘ '&&‘.,’.‘f«g‘ Jora Extracor, . at never Lunl. ;iuvu no scar 0 | contains no actds ; is harmie«s because composed 4 . only of bealing gums and baims.
