The step of sending forth Barnabas and Saul is all the more remarkable because, when it was taken, there was no possibility or forecasting the glorâ€" ious results which these men were to achieve for God in Asia and in Eurâ€" ope. Nevertheless, the decision was felt to be in direct line with the sure guidance of the Spirit, and this conâ€" sideration prevailed.

TWO LACEâ€"TRIMMED FROCKS FOR THE SUMMER WARDROBE. _ _ Cooked cereals form an excellent food, furnishing energy for the neverâ€" | ceasing activity of childhood. They‘ |can be either the homeâ€"cooked cereals | or the readyâ€"toâ€"serve type., Many of these are very nutritious and give a pleasing variety to the menu. Fruit: | served with cerea‘s is very appetizing | and healthful. , | Now what shall we frown upon?i What foods shall be put upon the : taboo list? Tea and cofee, of course;! ‘nuts, spices, and other condiments ; | pie, cake, and the excossive use of| |sugar and candy. A piece of molasses| ‘or pure sugarâ€"candy after a meal is! permissible. The candyâ€"eating habit is a serious one. Sugar satisfies Lhel appetite and takes away the hunger for substantial foods at mealâ€"time;| sugar irritates the delicate linings of itho stomach; sugar kills the taste for] milk and eggs. Most parents give to| children the foods which they themâ€"| ;selves enjoy, and they feel they are" ‘depriving them of a justified pleasure§ if their children are not given sweets. What could be more un wise? | Mothers often say to me, "How can I induce my child to eat vegetables? He refuses." Under such conditions there is very likely to be an emotional scene which lingers in the mind of the child, and is recalled every time the food is presented. It seems wise to guard against making an event of this eccasion. Serve only a emall® amount Another pernicious habit is that of eating at any or all hours of the day. A midâ€"morning or midâ€"afternoon lunch of fruit or milk is sufficient in addition to three regular meals. â€" Conâ€" stant eating keeps the child‘s digestive apparatua working ail the time and paves the way for indigestion and stomach disorders and doctor bills in the years to come. Children should havo very little meat. It takes away their desire for bland foods, such as milk and eggs, and overtaxes the kidneys. Use eggs instead; they are easier to digest and are more nutritious. Most children like eggs, and there are many ways you can serve them. Perhaps of all foods, vegetables are most neglected. Their value can not be overestimated; they are one of the richest sources of the allâ€"important vitamines those mysterious substances which maintain life and health. Spinâ€" ach or other greens an l lettuce are at the top of the list. Celery, asparagus, stringâ€"beans, carrots, beets and toâ€" matoes should have a place in the diet of every child. These should be cookâ€" ed in a very small amount of water, and this water should rot be thrown away. If there is too much to serve with the vegetable, the remainder should be added to soup, because this water contains minerals so necessary for building bones, teeth and muscle. Potatces, especially baked and eaten with the skins, should be served at least three times a week. Creamed or mashed potatoes make it possible to serve part of the necessary quart of milk a day. Don‘t stint on oranges. They should be eaten every day. I{ they are imâ€" possible to obtain, tomatoes, fresh or canned, are a good substitute. Apples,l prunes, dates, peaches, pearsâ€"in fact1 all of the fruits except bananas, are indispensable. | WHAT SHOULD WE FEED OUR CHILDREN? Mothers say to me, "My children will not drink milk. They don‘t like it." Well, it isn‘t necessary that they drink it They may have it in cusâ€" tards, soups, gravies, and creamed vegetables. One enterprising mother keeps on hand a supply of sodaâ€" fountain straws. Her litte girl is eager for her glass of milk when she can sip it through a straw. Another mother serves milk in measuring cups. There is a certain fascination in seeâ€" ing the marks appear.

That the Canadian fruit indusiry has a greater future ahead of it is apparent from the growth of the nursâ€" ery industry in the Dominion.

The | scope of growing possibility is very ‘much wider, and even in the Prairia | Provinces a successful basis of apple | and other fruit culture has been laid \from which will develop, in time, an :independence of fruit imports. | _ The year 1924 was not a successfal | fruit year in Canada, and the producâ€" | tion in that year was in all cases much :iower than the average for the fiveâ€" lyear period. Figures, however, give some indication of Canadian commerâ€" |cial fruit production. In‘ that year | the Domjinion produced 3,247,270 barâ€" 1rels of apples of a value of $18,777,â€" |667; 196,809 bushels of pears valued | at $471,924; 238,978 bushels of plums and prunes worth $504,460; 154,384 bushels of peaches worth $404,663; 100,340 bushels of~ cherries worth $337,775; 6,582,000 quarts of strawâ€" | berries worth $1,398910; 2,000,450 | quarts of raspberries worth $401,012; |2,582,000 quarts of other berries worth ]:3500,020; and 24,500,000 pounds of | grapes worth $1,470,000 PRODUCTION BY PROYiNCES, ‘ Nova Scotia accounted for 1,274,742 barrels of the apple production, Onâ€" tario for 913,080 barrels, British Colâ€" )umbin for 863,388 barrels, Quebec 109,500 barrels and New Brunswick 86,615 barrels. Pears are grown principally in Ontario and British lColumbia. as are plums and prunes. All provinces share substantially in the production of strawherries, whilst there is a not inconsiderable producâ€" tion in the Prairie Provinces which is unrecorded. Raspberries come in largâ€" est quantities from Ontario and Britâ€" ish Columbia, with smaller outputs in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Grape production is confined entirely to the Province of Ontario and to the Niagara Peninsula in that province. These main items of fruit producâ€" tion in 1924 had an aggregate preâ€" liminary value of $24,206,431. In the same year Canada imported fruits such as are produced in Canada to the extent of $7,430,462 whilst exporting only to the value of $8,838,909, of CANADIAN FRUIT PRODUCTION A GREAT FUTURE AKEAD 11256 p.um 4,302 peach ,540 cherry ru 84
