Some Drawbacks in Having Disease
as an Occupation.

A New York man was brought be-
fore a magistrate the other day for
speeding. The magistrate asked his
occupation. Rheumatism" replied
the prisoner. 1t was so recorded.
When you think of it, he was prob
ably not far wrong. If anything will
keep a man occupied it is a pet
trouble like rheumatism or indiges-
ton. Give 1t a chance and it will
make other mundane matters rela-
lively unimportant. 1t will prove the
most eXaCting of occupations.
1t has one advantage over the ordi-
nary ones; hard times can't interfere
with it. Every factory in the world
may close, but the man who makes his
disease his occupation need not work.
His occupation will not be touched
1t will always be open, beyond all
chance and change of the unsteady
planets" But it has the disadvantage
that it tends to grow more and more
enerous. A man begins, say, with a
little light and easy employment at
Indigestion. His hours at first are
reasonable. Soon he discovers that
he must pay more attention to it if
he would do the thing right. He gives
1t several hours day additional. He
begins to think about it at odd times.
Before he knows it he is occupied
with it for practically all his waking
hours.

one-Piece Guimpe and Sleeves.

Illustration the fabric to be used is
also of paramount importance in de
termining whether the guimpe is to

for the seamless fabrics and sleeve,

TO MAKE CREAM WHIP.
Addition Of Granulated Sugar Is High
ly Recommended.

Many hOusekeepers who like
whipped cream as an accompaniment
for broths. chocolate or desserts think
they must order cream of a special
richness. This generally must be done
the day before and always costs double
the price of ordinary cream.
One young woman discovered last
winter a way of easily making her
daily supply of cream whip. Ga
merely added a teaspoonful of OR
lated sugar to every pint, had it Ice
cold and quickly whipped it to a thick
froth in the churn.
A special whipped cream churn is,
by the way, an investment that pays
for every housekeeper The old meth
DDS of using a fork and skimming off
froth as it comes to the surface is a
waste Of time that the modern woman
cannot afford.

NEW TEMPERANCE ORGAN
Prohibition Journal Begins Publication
at Winnipeg, Manitoba.

An indication of the increasing prog
ress of the temperance movement
throughout the dominion is the re-
cent establishment of Canadian pro-
hibition journal at Winnipeg. The
new temperance organ is called The
Better Day. and stands for dominion
prohibition with party behind it. The
temperance press everywhere consti-
tutes one of the most important in
struments in furthering the interests
OF the cause, and. the new factor will
undoubtedly prove an efficient as
well as a welcome co-operator in the
work of progressive temperance re.
form, not only in the western provin-
ces, but throughout the whole domin-
ion.
