ance broker and counsellor, I oorne in contact with many homes. some of them not too happy.” 'observed my old friend, Mr. Alva E. Lamber- ton. of New York City.

"1 soon discovered that many of the conflicts. especially those in the early years. could be traced to the fact that the young wife had not been trained to understand house- keeping and cooking. so I resolved that, in at least one home I hope will be coming up in the not too- distant future. I'd try to forestall trouble. This is what I did."

Mr. Lamberion opened s big wal- let. and from it handed me a pho- Lograpii of a house.

"That's not a real house, it's a doll house." he chuckled. ”It looks real. because I made it exactly to scale. 17 34 inches. or an inch for every foot. 1)

'-1 built it evenings. after my days work. for my eight-year-old grand- daughter, hoping that she would learn the rudiments of housekeep- mg playing with it. and become in- terested in cooking, too.

A ELLEN'S

DIARY

by an Island Farmer's Wife

And so. from our cupboard where for a lengthy interval theY 11"! lain idle, we take out our pans and our cooking-pots and again prepare meals and keep house for James. Wondering as we first lift this or that one of them what food it had last held? And which day of the week had we last mum? And

those days of yhat - ' fwbich had taken us sudd g the! farmhouse to enter u lsound

of housewifery and motheri there. what had they been like Had they been always sun-lit and hap- py, filled for us with all those lovely surprises and anticipatlons which the season brings to farms? Young in stick and stables and fold. velvet-green on the meadows. gay blossoms unfolding. new bird-song: and uounntta bend of the fleeting hours. 5 er fast nearing. Or had they been already shadowed by the gathr-ring cloud which was to put an cnd to some of the best years of our lives. which we in the limits of m.ortal.s' sights had failed to sec?,.'

But, we often must remind our- self.) we had left behind in time that had gone-in the old year dead and away, such thoughts. We were now not only into a new year but as well into another era of liv- mg, changcd certainly nevertheless one which for the Family had open- cd with much promise for the days ihiit lie ahead. And so quite as naturally as it is for Granddaugh- ler and Mack to follow again the path which leads from the House across the lane to this one full of 30i!l's, we find once more the

imlls of house-keeping we once ,

knew. O O I

"Mack brought the wood and k.ndling." Granddaughter said. wei- ranting our return. "I put some matches Mother sent over . would you know wherr?" she smil- rd. Aye-in the drawer of the lit- tle iron coffee-mill on the far and of the mantel behind the stove. the safe container for them of always. "There's. I think. everything you'll need in the pantry-bread too." sht- iwinkled. "And if you'd like to make yourself a cup of tea. you will know where to find that?" Surely! In the old tea cannlster. a humble contninrr of tin. which hits set. we suppose. ever since time was at Aiderlea. on the nearer

corner of the mantel. "Now you'll be all right?" she queried. "I'm going out to play." Yes, we would be all right-back once more to trails we well knew.

"I do wish, Ellen. that you would have a look in the stables by and by" Juries commented this after- noon. when preparing lo leave for the wood-cutting, he came indoors to pick up mittens and Jacket. Just to make sure that none of them are loose or in other difficulty there. I know," he nodded soberly, "or at least I have a pretty good idea of what this place is like. once we're gone back over the hilltop. It gets so still and deserted-like that any one coming to it. say, on a matter of business would be sure then- was no one at home-that the wo- men were away. gone to a Mission- ary meeting or something. Now do try and put some life in it-keep

so wood was harvested-and pieces of lumber. And the twilight. hushed and lovely brought the farmers home. Now is the night- time. Ii: curtains this snug valley with moonlight. pinning back the silver-blue of it with bright ribbons of stars.

Ii. WEDNESDAY: In) between "huffing and puffing" these past few months. I have read quite a few interesting stories. This first one I read about 2 o'clock one morning when the house was quiet and peaceful. Rocky. the puppy and Kon-Tikkl the cat kept silent vigil with me. and the long night wasn't quite so long and weari- some because of this lovely story. It is called the Silver Chalice by Thomas B. Costain. It is a best- selling novel. tells of the time of our Lord's life. Says Mr. Costain: "The Chalice of Antioch. now own- ed by the Metropolitan Museum in New York. was found in the ruins of ancient Antioch in 1910. An authority on Christian art. devel- oped the convlction that the inner part of the Chalice could be the cup which was used at the Last Supper. And so it was the Chalice of Antioch which prompted him to begin the story of The silver chal- ice 'in the am place. Another (short) 'story I enjoyed too. while more or less confined to a chair, was this one. Rather I should say it was an article. called 1 Remem- bcr A Church, by Frank Sullivan. It held my interest! right to the last line. And for lifting the spir- its. "The Horse With The Fancy Hat" was topsi What would we do without books sometimes! And when we offer up to God in the morning-"all we think or do or say". then the asure. the sad- ness of the resolu ion to love our fellow men better because of a story or an article we read. Well that makes our reading actually a prayer too. doesn't it?

4. THURSDAY: The foreman of a gang of laborers on a railway line was walking along his section of the line when he found one of his men asleep in the shade of s free. lie was about to shake the

KEEPINTRIM

Encouragement for slow losers coming right up. The gremiln tha plagues dieters is a phenomen known as water swings. Failure to lose at the start of a diet, or later on. is due to Just one thing -- retention of water in the tissues. Here's s promise: If you stayed on the 1100 calorie diet. you have lost fat. but when water has re-

placed fat in the cells, registra- tion of the lost fat is postponed until the water is released.

ut how do you explain an act- ua gain at the start of a diet, puzzled dieters demand. You know the way fat floats on water? That's because fat weighs less than water. when stored water replaces lost fat. the result is a temporary "gain."

The water balance always adjusts. and when the cells release stored water, the pointer will plunge. It helps to know in advance that weight will not go down in a straight line. Holding periods will be followed by an abrupt loss, if you stay with the diet.

Water retention has nothing to do with the amount of water con- sumed: therefore the fundamental trouble should be treated. To count- ernct water storage, have a com- plete protein food with each meal. If you tend to oversalt food, use less. The sodium of salt is the wat- er-holding mineral of body fluids. Unitas the doctor orders it, there isnno need to drastically reduce sa .

However. on a. diet, you may start losing from the first day If you lose fast - five pounds the first week, part of this loss is water from the tissues. After the stored

5. FRIDAY: An A-1 supper dish is this for this day-It's Shrimp Chowder, and to begin with you saute three medium onions sliced. in three tablespoons shortening in a deep saucepan, until tender but not browned.

Add one cup boiling water. five medium potatoes. peeled and slic- ed, two teaspoons salt, 1'-4 tsp. pepper; simmer. covered. about 15 minutes ur until tender. Add 1 pound cleaned and cooked shrimp or buy the "canned" variety; one quart hot milk in which one cu grated, processed cheese has been melted and four tablespoons min- ced parsley. Serve at once with crackers. Makes five servings. Sub- stitute oysters or clams for shrimp if you wish.

6. SATURDAY: Over fifty years ago this advice was given by a doctor in a leading American msg- azlne: "Don't give a child elabor- ate presents, such as mechanical toys. Above all. don't allow him to eat chocolate of any kind. or turkey or goose or rich pies. cakes or plum pudding or anything fried or nuts or raisins." when a visiting youngster read that she said to me. "Well. all I can say is I'm glad I'm not that Doctor's little girl".

The same magazine answers a woman's question: "Please advilsc the length of mourning". this way: A widow should wear black for three years: for a parent. the same period. For a. child. sister or bro- ther, deep mourning for one year. and light mourning for snotherslx months. And a fashion note said: "The amount of material now he- cessary for a gown is so great that it is difficult and cumbersome to handle. and also expensive. From eighteen to twenty-four yards of taffeta are needed because of the immense fullness of the new skirts sleeves and bodir-es!" The bed- spreads we could make out of that! i

Value Of Fresh Air In Treating Anemia

Just because you look pals. does not necessarily mean you're sut- fering from anemia. But it might mean that. .

In anemia you see, the red blood cells and the amount of coloring in the blood decrease. In severe cases, the numbe of red cells may drop to one million per cubic millimeter of blood instead of the normai live million.

In other cases. the number of red cells is only moderately reduced. but each cell functions well below its normal strength.

Causes of Anemia There are three causes of ane-

mia: loss of blood from hemor- rhage: increased destruction of blood; and deficient blood forma-

tion. sometimes you may be both- ered by more than one of these fac- tors.

There are several different types of anemia. the most common types usually coming as a result of other diseases.

For example, prolonged infection. tumors. tapeworms and diseases of the kidney or liver may be accom- panied by the reduction of hemo- globin, or coloring in the blood.

Maybe there is bleeding in the stomach or bowel.

Improper Diet

An improper diet. especially if you don't get enoug iron-contaln- lng foods, can also c use anemia.

If you don't get enough iron in your foods, or if some condition in your body interferes with the ab- sorption of that iron. your red cells may contain less than the normal coloring matter and become reduc- ed in size.

Before your doctor can do much to help you, he's got to determine just what is causing your anemia and then eliminate that condition. Then he can help you build up your iron supply. He probably will give you special preparations containing iron which you can take after your meals.
