August exchanged July's larkspur and water lily for a poppy and gladiolus, and threw away her ruby in favor of a sardonyx — a pretty stone in a shade like the slightly faded petals of the hedge- row’s wild rose, and knocked on our doors this morning. Though not to tarry long. Scarcely allow- in; lls time to renew our acquaint- ance while moving along steadily as did its predecessor, which at the outset was to give us many a long day. And now days are drawing in, but August fulfilling July's plans will put scarlet and crimson and other bright colors in the flower border, and yellow, like the sun that will mellow as the month wanes. And a golden sheen will he set on the cheek of the ripeninZ harvest apple, and give us first- lings off plantings in the garden- ripe tomatoes, love-apples that

If whom it takes atomic pressure to get even the ghost of a compli- Ileni.

That a man passes into the silence as soon as he has gotten through with the chore of courtship is no proof that he is not devotedly in love with his wife, and that he does not think her the most wonderful ivo- man in the world. It is just because he feels silly pouring sweet noth- ings into Mary Jane's ears. He has told her once that he adores her She should remember it.

and he feels that that is enough for a lifetime. WIFE CAN'T FORGET

Of course, as a matter of fact, she does remember it. No woman ivho loves a man ever forgets a syllable of what he said when he popped the question to her, she just wants to hear it over and over again. that is why wives are forever asking their husbands:

me?" "Am I as dear to you now as

you think I am as beautiful as I used to be?" the gumption God promised a fishing worm. he will say: more beautiful and I love you more every clay." Unfortunately, however, there are many everlovlng husbands who haven't the gift of expressing their feelings and who only grunt when their wives try to extract a little sweet talk from them. And that gives‘ us the horde of pathetic wives who are starving for the love that their‘

husbands never show them.

So the answer to the question of how often a man should tell his sweetie or his wife how much he loves her is, say it every day in every She will never get tired of hearing it.

CLIIHATI ALLEBGY-ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER

IN TREATMENT OI‘

A number of years sgo lg was found that patients living in alti- more suffering with hay fever found relief when they moved to Washington. 40 miles away. and many hay fevercd asthma patients living in Washington found relief ln Baltimore. In those days because the climate is the same in both cities. physicians were of the op- inion that it. was the change itself, setting away from their home sur- roundings for a time that brought the relief. In other words it was their nervous makeup that required, or thought it required, the change.

Later many of us may have milled at this, and suggested that there were some objects or furni-

Grand-daughter, a sturdy miss, now into her fourth year, is "going some day" she assures him, a timc she anticipates eagerly. Mean- while she is taken up with her stu- dies and problems at home. Some indeed, her mother and the rest of the family find perplexing. "Wily doesn't a crane use a fishing rod instead of his bill to catch fish- he's big enough in hold one, isn't hr?" "Do yellow butterflies gath- er butter from huttercups? Tiicn what; makes them that color?" "I! hcns eat grziss—then why aren't chickens green?" “Why don't cric- kets give molasses, like grasshop- pers do?” this last in reference to an old and terrible threat of Jamie's to an insect captive. "Or he'll kill him today and bury him tomor- row!" she chuckled- repeating Jamie's words.

I I Birds and frogs and toads, in- sects too provide an unending fas- cination to Jamie who will stop dead in his tracks, or his conversa- tions to exclaim over the musntal efforts of one of_ these, recognizing a new voice immediately amongst the other Summer sounds. And it is not unusual to have him bring one or more of his captives in- doors. "Don't you think that you had better put that cricket out of doors", we may suggest of one late- ly released on a rug, "they're de- structive things-they'll cat holes in curtains and cushions!" "But first, don't you want him to play See, just you watch now—weli get your glasses! He works his foreivings to make that sound. Look close now—there he goes again!

And so August came to us today, leaving us nothing of July except- ing the nice memories we managed to garner. gleanlng many a one even on our busiest day. Re- membering riow the rare beauty of daisied meadow-land - - - roses in profusion - - - red clover and tin- slender grace of the blossoming timothy - - - froth of creamy Queen Anne's Lace - - - tangles of purple- blue vetch, - - - Summer breezes skimming with light touch the pond water - - - shimmer of heat on the hills - - - green satin waves in the grain fields - - - wild-strawber- ries on ferry banks-and their kin red in garden rows - - - dewy-fresh mornings and the quiet benediction of evening. What a multitude of things, bound about with sunshine or refreshing shower, and the in- dolent hum that is Summer's own.

There is no question but that a warm, dry climate in some of the southwestern parts of the United States seems to be well suited to give asthmatics relief. Arizona seems to be the choice of many sufferers who find relief in Tucson and Phoenix.

In the "Journal ofthe American Medical Association." Dr. F. B. Shutzbank, Tucson, gives an an- alysls of 150 patients who came to Tucson for climate treatment oi allergic disorders. Of this number 72 per cent were benefited and 28 were not. Of 101 asthmatic patients, T4 were benefited ranging from 50 per cent; to complete relief of symp- toms. Of the 74 asthmatic persons benefited. the improvement was due to removal from emotional disturb- ances in 32 cases, and to improve- ment of chronic infection of nose. throat and bronchial tubes in 26 C3565.

In regard to hay fever, 11 pat- ients developed hay fever in 'I‘uc- son who did not have it when they arrived in Tucson; on the other hand 15 patients who had formerly had hay fever had no symptoms in Arizona

From these figures Dr. Shutzbenk states that sending allergic patients to Arizona is justified if the pat» ienLs are first carefully selected through a .thorough history, ex- amination, skin testing and hcme surroundings from the emotional standpoint. Too many patients rush off or are sent to Arizona without this careful all round examination. They should also be warned that. While the climate may help it may take a year to bring about a cure.

ASTHMA, CAUSES AND TREATMENT

The cause or causes of asthma were unknown until recently. Now it is known that allergy, nose and throat defects. emotional disturb ances can cause the attacks most asthmatics can be helped.
