Before the X-rey W" 1!! flvllillll use for examination of the chest for tuberculosis. the physician hnd to strike the chest wall with his fin!- ers, listen to sounds of the chest by lid of the stethoscope. and then look through a microscope to try t0 find the tubercle bacillus in the patients sputum.

vmile these methods of examin- ation, together with the tempera- tlure taken three times daily. dis- covered most cases of tuberculosis. it was not until X-ray examin- ation of the chest was used that tuberculosis and its location and Orient were really mode known

Just before the X-ray examin- ation of the chest for tuberculosis came into use, it was believed that practically all of us had tubercul- osis at some time in our lives, but that most of us outgrew it or else it was in a "quiet" 5M8? 811d 5° was causing no symptoms.

Ellen's Diary B) all Illa-lid [unit's Wife

With the other children in the first grade at school, Jamie is now reading in the third book of the series. James, grand-father to hlm. receives any tidings of‘ his progress with n fitting word oi.’ praise. “Well now." he will ray, "isn't that: the right way to get along!" And then lowering his voice to a confidential level he will add, "You know the quicker you learn, why, the sooner you'll get it over with to get to the farming!" And Jemle, so far a willing student and much enjoying his school days, chuckles with him but shows no desire to end them.

l I I

Not that the farming, as James considers the like made much head- way in the prevailing inclement weather today, though it too brought its pleasant compensations. There had been talk of taking up lfhe potato-grading, or in order to free the ewes from their Winter- long confinement to shed and yard. the stretch of fencing which en- closes the stump-field. But as James said expresslvely coming in- doors to change in dry overalls after the mid-day choring, "Not in this rain!"

I I I

The f0! which had enfolded the countryside dimly at morning had given way to a rain. It pattered down on roofs and pond in a way to remind one this dusky gray day that the drops were indeed April's tears, What a temperamental cron- ture she is, now sunny and be- witchingly lovely and again so moody, like a spoiled child whose departure we would welcome.’ Then "Helgh-ho!" I yawned sleeplly in the comfortable rtnibrace 0f the nld armchair and "Helgh-ho! Jame; took up _ unwillingly -- the refrain from the couch beside,

It was a lazy sleepy afternoon.

James clasped his hands on his

chest and Jamie-like lids com-

menced to droop. He brightened

with an effort. "Ellen," he said.

“not that I'm at all likely to—-llut

that time was forgotten. And for a1 musical background the wind was n ‘ stringed instrument, in a gentle ca-

dence of sound about the eaves.

Those were our undoing or per- haps they played only for our bene- fit. Snow was falling, great lazy flakes of it later, much later, when a shoe dropping to the floor, re- turned us to the things of earth. James looked up. "Do you know, Ellen", he hemarked, "lt would be very easy to fall asleep today! I don't know but that I did doze for a minute or two-dazed?" he lock- ed at the clock bewildered, "why that clock's astray, Ellen-—it can't be so late!" And he was away then briskly to weigh certain of the small pigs, then to treat them with iron and to a busyfound.

We went to cur house-cleaning. now that an interval of rest has ap- peared between Iarrowlng events. for in any intensive chore James likes to come indoor: to peaceful surroundings. "And what is she doing?" we may ask idly of e wo- man of our acquaintance, to get “house-cleaning!" for a reply. "Well of all things," James will comment in amazement, “she house-cleaning. and they expecting young stock in the plggery!"

5 lluw Well llo You l Know Your Island 2

By Uncle Joe

No other island can boast u many names as ours. The Indians celled it Abegweit and Menlgoo, the French, Igle St, Jean, the Eng- lish St. John's Island and Prince Edward Island, while today it. fre- quently goes by the name "Million Acre Farm," or "The Garden of the Gulf."

What is believed to have been the first Christian marriage in the Island took place on April l0, i738, when Francis du Rocher and Elizabeth Bruneau were married by the Rev. M. D. Breslay.

Prior to 1720, there were Just two French families living here, one at St. Peter's Harbor and the other at East Point, both living by fishing.

It is interesting to note that the first Aoadian settlers manufactur- cd their own clothes and linen from wool and flax. And what may sound more suiprising, they grew their own tobacco.

Roads were unknown in those days, and communication between settlements was made by canoes in summer and by ice in winter. Between 1224-1738 the country was visited by three plagues of mice that destroyed all green plants as well as most of the settlers’ seeds.

The Boers of the ‘Transvaal, a pastoral people, and our Acadien French are the most fruitful races on earth, and the large numbers of children they have still attracts the attention of scientific minds.

Skeletons of the old French dykcs may still be seen along the marsh lands. In some cases the mounds are so well extended and well defined that there is little doubt as to their original design.

So we made a beginning at our clean- ing today, complimenting ourselves as we glanced out a window. "Well. we can't be so late after all, not with all that snow o_n the firm-Infill"

But April's snow'whlch weighted the evergreen branches and placed field and meadow beneath n cool white coverlet this afternoon will soon vanish. "l reckon this must be the poor farmers‘ fertilizer!"

Couple Forced To Llve With Family Must Be Extra Considarcte, Cheerful

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband is st present enrolled in s unl- versity where he is taking a special course in dentistry. This reduces our income so much that we have to move in with my family to con- serve expenses. I quite realize that you do not advise five generations to llve together, but in a case»! necessity it he! t0 be d .

oneCnn you give me fen commandments that will help me to get along amicably with my people? MARGE

ANSWER: No one in the world i: clever enough to devise a formula that will enable a mixed assortment 01 grandparents and husbands and wives and teen-agar! and babies to get along together in peace and harmony. Having differ- ent tastes, habits and temperaments, they are bound i0 89$ l" "ch other’: hair if they are pcrlned un lfllselllt-‘f- _

However, needs must be when the devil driver, as the old proverb has it, and if curcumstances are such that you have to live with your family, here are a few suggestions that may make your road easier to travel.

i 1. Before you wish yourself on your family. make up sour mind to meet the situation with courage. Don't whine. Dont complain. Make Iyourself so pleasant and agreeable that you will be regarded as en ac- ‘quisitlon instead of a pest.

2. Wear s hopeful look. no matter how drenry the prospect is. It will keep the neighbors from discussing your affairs.

GET A JOB

3. Get a job if you can. There is nothing that cheers a woman up so much as finding out that she can make a little money.

4. If you go back home to live with Mom and Pop, lavish love and helpfulness upon them. Gratitude is always legal tender with parents.

5. Don't turn Mother and Father into baby-sitters while you are off gaddlng. ‘

6. Don't bemoan having to put up with the whlml of old people. We will all be that way before we know it.

7. Don't let your children grow up to be hoodlums because you are so sorry for them because they can't. have every luxury, that you can't bear to make them behave.

8. Don't criticize your husband or bewail his not being n go-getter. That. takes the last ounce of ambition out of him.

9. Don't ever tell your troubles to your friends. merits and sorrows are your own affair.

10. Never lose your grip on your courage. You will never be beaten as long a: you can laugh over the misadventures of life.

Your disappoint-

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: The trouble with modern glrll is that they can't get up enough English courage and nerve to walk up to young men whom they know to be nice, and say: "Boys we are having a card party at my house such and such a night. Please join us. There will be re- freshments." The old saying that you can win a man's heart by feed- ing hlm is good, but the best Way to catch your man ls to pick out: the one you want, and go after him by being so darn nice and friendly that 3 he can't avoid falling in love with you.

Properly used, this method will turn old maids into good house- wives.

SERVICE MEN

ANSWER: The advice tendered by these young men to girls on how to catch a husband should have authority. It would seem that they would know what technique in husband-hunting was the most success- ful. but this does not appear to be the case. For instance. it is a popular belief that the best way for n girl to catch a husband is by chasing hlm down, but, in reality, nothing scares a man off from a girl so much as for him to suspect that she is on his trail.

In olden times, when girls found lt much easier to get husbands than they do now, the coy, timid, this-is-so-sudden, I-never-dreamed-yow thought-of-me-like-that attitude was the one that led to the altar, and it ls my guess that it still works.

‘ DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am the mother of a 13-year-old girl who ls_ pretty, attractive, whom we dress beautifully, and to whom we have given every advantage she could ask. But she ls practically impossible to live with. She is rebellious, unruly, high-tempered. has even struck me. and says the most terrible things to her father. We have tried @\'@1‘§_’1l'lllli we can think of in the way of persuasion. indulgences and denying her things she wants but nothing does any good. She defies us. What can we do?

TROUBLED MOTHER

ANSWER: You are just. 13 years too late in asking that question. You have evidently spoiled the girl rotten and now you are reaping what you have sown. ’

The best; thing you can do now for her is to send her off to a board- ing school. She will be ashamed to act among strangers as she does at home, and when she ls away from you perhaps Ihe will begin tc appreciate your love and kindness to her.
