Wise Instructions For All Parents
"Conservation, of Life,", a bimonthly issued under the direction of th_o..Commission of Conservation
of'Canada, publishes a timely warning to parents with regard to communicable diseases, which, with the approach of winter, become more prevalent. During the summer, when children spend their days in the .open, the incidence of scarlet fever and diphtheria' is much less than during the inclement months, when so many are brought together in the schools and in their own homes; The . cold danip weather lowers a child's resistance to such an extent that lie is a'prey to germs which ordinarily would be tlnown of)', and his close contact with his fellows makes him a source of danger to many others. Parents, are urged to watch closely the health of every child, and not at any cost to regard lightly a complaint of sore!'throat. ''Such a complaint shpukl Ije attended to by a physician and regarded as diphtheria until proven otherwise" declares CoxsKiiVATiox, which
rince
\. engiueera appeared on the scene to continues with ^ihe statement that finally locate the road'—and in ! if this were universally done there ; accordance with tlieir plans selected ¦ would V)e few deaths from diphtheria the \»est site for the station from an and no life-long regrets from parents engineering staixlppint, rr'an order | wl|o':iiiay liaye done their utmost in

He spends long hours in changing uniforms. Now he is the wlii.te-robed Lohengrin, who in the legend came on a swan's hack to marry the Princess of Brabant;-but who in the real "story came with his Uhlans to kill her children, to set tire to her palace, to plunder her kinsfolk, to bunr -.whore- lit'couUl not slaughter, and 10 destroy where lie equlil i.ipt steal.
At''another time thevKa.iser is posturing as^the. war coinnia'ndor-in-chief, giving orders to generals which, fortunately for Britain and her friends, are carried out.- Now he is distributing iron crosses to liis fifteen sons — is it fifteen or lil'tv ? Every iron cross means a black deed, And. in the ambulance train 1 suppose the Kaiser wears the uniform• of the.Hod Cross.
Yet there is one uniform, thank God, which the Kaiser will never wear again —It is that of a British Field-Marshal.
With so many uniforms to.change into—beginning with the Death's Head of his favorite Hussars and ending wiUi/'tliilt of a mini lister of religion, the religion of greed and iivurdep—you will understand that the Kaiser is a very busy man. •
Xct with all his activities by day Kaiser cannot sleep, by night; He is worse off than his unfortunate soldiers in the trendies, who do sometimes snatch a couple of hours at a time.
Do you remember the story of Macb'eth, egged on to murder by ambition ? How in the midst of his foul deed, th« . guards of Duncan stirred in their sleep ? And'.*how-horror painted in his imagination the terrible words which I have put at the head of this column ?
Need I point the analogy ? 1 have not ventured x-to change the ini-perishable/language in which Shake-Id for all time the tortures of axguilty soul. The nightmare that was worse than the horror at the deed ; the retnorse__jvJiich \vas worse to I.X'ar than a murderer's punishment. ,_,<.. .' ,
But if you like you:-'ciyi put the word ' 'Kaiser ' or '.'W'jlliani" where Shakespeare' iv rote '¦'Macbeth," Cawdor" and "Glamis'' (Muc-beth'.s at,her names)' in the lines .1. have quoted. Such a liberty has been taken in a French paper by M. Jean Riehepin, the distinguished ineinljer _ofj frie_ Academy, froirT whom I have borrowed tlie idea for this article.
Can you guess the figures that come to visit the Kaiser in his nightmare .? Can you imderstand^iTW7 the man with guilty hands- dariLJioL lie down to. rest ? ,Ilo\v should a, man sleep hi-his bed who hjii plunged EuropoSvantonly"into \vml.? How should tlie perjured friend (ic in quiet ? M'hat thoughts of the fatherless, of .parents robljetl of tlieir ¦hildren, of old men butchered, and acred thing^ profaned would come to him if he dare lay his head on the pillow ?. Would not God^ hi-s "'ally " meet him there face to face V-
You, who have wished him punished, pity him>at last, lie has found where German lies have no currency, and where1 tlie;.poses of an actor in gaudy -uniforms will not convince. '¦*

ois leather after this treatment. ' Fruit stains on linen should be smeared with glycerin and left for about an hour. Then wash the stains in warm soapy water. Repeat the process if necessary.
Muslin and cotton goods can be rendered fireproof by putting1 an ounce „ of alum in the last rinsing water, or by putting it in the starch. This fea \vise_plan for children's clothing, for even j if their clothes do catch fire, ! which is not at all improbable, they will burn without any flame.
If Japanese lanterns have a little silver sand put in the bdt-1 tom to give them weight, there will be little danger of the whole thing catching fire, as the candle is held firmly in position.
By pouring boiling water over the cooking - apples, they are much easier to peel. This is a considerable saving of time when there is a morning's cooking to do. '°
A novel stand can be made in the following way: Procure an old piece of drain pipe and some broken ornaments, vases etc, of various colors. Break the broken article "into small pieces. Give the drain pipe a coat of white lead and putty mixed, then stick the pieces of china and glass all over it. arranging them to form an artistic design. When quite dry and hard give it a coat of varnish, which gives a polish and enables it to be easily clean ed. -•
When cutting new bread, dip the knife in warm water. This will keep the bread from crumb ling and will facilitate matters considerably.
To keep silver bright that is. not in use, lay a piece of gum camphor in the drawer or box in which the silver is kept,;end you will not have te-clean-ybur silver so often.
Rusty irons can be made beautifully smooth by rubbing them when hot upon a piece of beeswax tied in a cloth, and then upon a cloth sprinkled with salt.
If curtains are allowed to dry thoroughly before being starch/ ed, itl will be found tha^ tjjey will last clean longer.
For rusty curtain hooks/ place them in a bowl and c^ver with cloudy ammonia. Leave for half an hoar, and then^ust stir them around with a sUdc., The hooks will look like n^w. If the points are difficuIt-^to put-through__the fabric, pusli them into a bar of soap, and they will slip in jguite easilyv/ ,
