It u not even important un- less it is the crowning glory of a course of honest, strenuous, lengthy training. The most glorious out- come of this war, for women, is the fact that it has eliminated completely ithe superficial woman. She may re- imain superficial but she cannot re- main influential and prominent. It is amazing, when one pauses long en- ‘ought to consider the fact, how com- pletely the women agitators and pro- 'patrandists of tive years ago have _disappeared.

Mineral salts are necessary for a proper balance; they are quickly available in fresh fruits, green vegetables and milk.

In some quarters it has been sug- gested that Canadians be put on ra- tions and not on their honor regard- ing food. . Do householders in Canada seek to evade the food retru1ationst. Are the merchants of Canada conniving at the evasion of the food regulations? Let us see about that. The main objective of the Canada Food Board is to supply Great Britain and the Allies with vital foods. With this in View food regulations are made, which. if respected by the peo- ple of Canada, will enable Canada to keep faith with the Allies on food. Many a mother would faint if she could see the surroundings in which these so-called delicacies are manu- factured. Cheap candles contain in- gredients that may prove harmful and thus pave the way for more serious intestinal disturbances and perhaps, who knows, a serious illness. Be firm and do not permit the children to have these questionable products. Rather give them fresh fruits, home- made cookies and then know that your child will perhaps, escape much suf- ferings. . Do the people of Canadt want to keep faith with the Allies on food? They do. Are the people of Canada keeping faith with the Allies on food? The knowledge of the right quantity and quality of food to maintain the proper standards of growth and de.. velopment is vitally important factor in child life. I would like to make a plea to the mothers not to give their children pennies for cheap candies, or worse yet, to allow them to buy the iee-eream cones of the street mer- chant. To take any other position is to sug- gest that the people of Canada would rather keep their pre-war food habits than keep faith with the Allies on food.

Marty mothers think of miik u only a beverage. Frequently they feel that they can cut down on thia product with the idea of towering the cost of foods. This is a great mini take.
