El.l.Ell'S DIARY

lly An Island Farmers Wife

Given another fine day and no unkind incident to delay the work. the roof-shingllug of our new barn will be completed tomorrow. The weathenis all-important now to farm folks. In the insistence of "re haying we find our-self regarding with interest the pondnripples of morning, simrlse, sunset. and with James we keep posted on the var- ious changes of the moon . . . We recall now with a. chuckl: that all unwittingly he paid us a fine com- pliment today, when by way of holding to a semblance oi our girl- ish suppleness or as James looks at it "just by way of exercising yourself a little, Ellen" we had come to the barnyard to take a turn at driving the mare in the hay-lift. Loitei-ing there a moment while the wagon-load was being drawn to its place at the end of a barn. our eyes followed idly the cloud of dust lingering above road and highway in the wake of the traffic. James came by then. hur- rying loft-ward to assist presently the younger farmer at the stowing --and what great flakes of hay are dropped in quick succession upon the two, a challenge to both strength and ingenuity in their tidy disposal!

I O I

The sun beat down, sapping the moisture from the-air and it was a hot wind that roamed the slopes. "If it would only rain!" we said. And James over-hearing rejoined "Rain, Ellen, and we with all that hay ready to be saved!" Grand- daughter appeared then beside us to hold a. wisp of new hay to the mare as other small girls of her line have done in the bygone years. smiling happily when the animal acccepted her favor grac-

iously, and the matter of the weather was forgotten. Until the workers came to dinner. "Close!"

Karolyn said. busy serving the meal. "Yes" Rob agreed. ”I don't like the look of that cloud in the west -- we Just might have rain" he added teasingly. James nodded. "Well. your mother prayed for it- out in the yard this morning!" Our prayer if such it was, was an- swered ln a way we know not. for no shower fell this day in disap- point James by suspending the

haying. 0 D And tomorrow. if our "stars" be favorable. last shingles will be placed on the barn-roof. Mr. D. who attends faithfully to this car- pentry comes from his home on the highway each morning in the dew-shine. To the joy of the chil- dren ln the house across the lane. who never miss the outing, this means the out-going and present in-coming of the truck. once breakfast is over and again past supper. Then to their delight they are allowed to stop briefly mo visit to admire the colorful garden as did we with the four grl.ndchll- dren Lhis evening, even though over the house-tops and along the stretch of intervening fields the haying was calling to" James, our escort. Granddaughter knows the blossoms there by heart. sweet pea and dahlia. cosmos, scarlet-blos- somed beans, geraniums and gourd vines kin to those the poet Riley found in the long ago "Up the sides and o'er the clapboard roof" of that remembered door "Out to Old Aunt Mai-y's."

And these days beneath the new weather-proof roof of the new barn, lofts are filling so fast that our powers-that-be at Alderlea scratch heads and "wish we had thought to add a few feet more to her - might as well when we were at it!" in the abundance of the season's crop . . . And the chil- dreni We laughed when Karolyn summoned her two this afternoon. "come mi" she called "I want to make You tidy . . . you're as dirty as little pigs!" And Gage looked up. laughing from a healthful but soiling project of the moment to reply: two are little pigs!"

That Body Of Your:

HEAD COLDS MAY BE CAUSED BY INFECTION. ALLEBGY OB. EMOTIONAL DISTUIKBANCES

Many individuals seem always to have a stuffy nose and com- plain of a dropping of mucus from anose into the throat. Until rec- ently, the stuffy nose and post- nasal drip have been considered to be n. cold in the head. but now allergy, sensitlveness to various substances in the air we breathe or in the food we eat, is consider ed a frequent cause.

The allergic cold does not show a rise in temperature; the cold due to infection usually does. Also, the lining of the nose in the al- lergic cold is pale, whcreas in in- fection this lining is led.

However, in Psychosomatic Medi- cine. Dr. Edmund P. Fowler. .Jr.. 'Columbla University) states that in a high percentage of cold out- zents. the underlying cause could be psychogenic. that is caused by the emotions. This is especially ap- parent in patients who complain of post-nasal drip. ."The coughing, barking and blowing of noses afar an emotional scene at 'he theatre, shows that post-nasal drip can be caused by excitement and emo- tional tension."

Dr. Fowler states further that excitement and the effect of pain, fear. worry and rage ls to cause a flow 1)! Juice from the adrenal glands situated one on top of each kidney. This adrenal extract tight- ens or constricts the tiny b'.ood vessels. causing the stuffy nose and post-nasal drip. However, although the stimulation of the glands starts the seeming head cold. other conditions or circu.n- stances prolong the effects upon nose and throat.

Excessive blockage oi the nose, as well as excessive opening of the nasal passages (post-nasal drip) due to stimulation by the emotions. has been observed. The pronounc- ed changes in the nose after sti- mulation or removal of stimulation of its sympathetic nerve supply. suggest that many so-called acids are caused by emotional disturb- ances.

In Laryngoscope. Dr. Arthur W. Proets (Washington University) suggests that lack of thyroid juice is a frequent cause or a factor in causing head colds (nasal dis- charge) and headache. He reports 130 cases. The lining of the nose may be red. dry and chapped or pale. wet. and boggy. Treatment with small doses of thyroid ex- tract gave excellent results.

'-rs:rvvcexx. A E Cook's Corner onmmv cuai-Aim pf:

This nlling is adequate for a 9-inch pie tin. 1'14. inches deep: Three cups drained, unsweetened cherries, is cup juice. 1 cup sugar. 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons butter.

Method - Heat cherries and juice. Mix sugar and flour and stir into cherries. Boil one or two min- utes. Add butter and pour into baked pie crust. Moisten edges and put on top crust which has. been prlcked to allow steam to escape. Press down edges to prevent leak- age. Bake 25 minutes in a hot oven. Following this method of making the pastry has the advantage that the pie may be baked quickly since the filling is already cooked. The hot filling also helps the crust to cook from the inside.

But here is another method: Blend flour and sugar. add to cherries and Juice and mix well. Pour into the pie crust, dot with butter and put on top crust as dir- ected in first method. Bake in not oven about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cake for 35 minutes. This is somewhat easier than the first method and there is a preference with some for the flavor. It requires longcr cooking because the fllllng is cold and the

flour for thickening uncooked.

Hemlines Down Again

Provided that North American fashions follows the Paris trend this year. hemlines will be down slightly this fall. Last Friday. the Jacques Fath collection for fall and winter was shown in Paris. followed a few days later by the Jacques Helm show.

Both designers are showing dresses with hams about two in- ches lower than last year-an average fourteen inches-or just below the calf.

In other respects the two col- lections differ, and it remains to be seen which trend other oesign- ers will follow. Fath favours vol- uminous skirts with full pettlcoats underneath, and tightly fitted but high necked bodices.

Heim's collection, on the other

hand. features dresses with hob- ble skirts, loosely draped over the hips. Practically all fashion houses seem to be favouring short. bare shouldered evening dresses. in- tended to be worn with many jewels, and rich materials of warm colours.

Indications are that. for every- day wear. heels will be lower this tall. sandal type shoes will be less popular than those with closed heels and toes. and straps will be used less.

Nylon mesh is ' info prominence as shoe material and will be widely used this fall.elong with various reptiles. Flannel is also being used and shoes can now be found to match grey flan- ndi suits. The ever good looking and reliable suede. calf and kid will, however. be most popular.

Wedded Bliss

Simple Rules Insure Merilel Happiness

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am to have a church weddinz "1 October. and would like to know if you have any rules or counsel to show me how to make my marriage a success. My fiance and I are well match- ed. congenial and we get along nicely with each other: families. He

has a good Job. so everything points to happiness ' r' for us. '

However, I have seen so many couples begin wlth the lame advantages and end up on the rocks a few years later. That is the disaster I want to avoid. Can you help me?

ELISE

ANSWER: My dear Elise. the very fact that you realize a happy marriage Involves a certain amount of effort, presagel a rosy future for you.

prevloub consideration of mutual congeniallty or financial stability. most couples marry in an aura of romance which they expect to carry them through life. - VOWS SHOW THE WAY

Countless volumes have been written by psychologists, psi chlatrists and even less learned folk on marriage. These are available to you through any library, but at your own wedding you. yourself. will voice the most important rules ever laid down for happy marriage. These are your own marriage vows. If you and your hurdiand con- sider well what you promise at the altar. you are equipped to face all the. trials and tribulations that will come to you. and overcome them.

Add to this the two "bears" of wedlock-"bear" and ”forebear." All other rules set down in learned tomes are merely amplification of these simple counsels.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am a young single man of 21. and have been living with my widowed mother since I left college. I have two older brothers and three sisters who all work. but they do not contribute is thing to my mother's support. Since I am the young- est. and single. they all feel I should assume the full responsibility of her care. I am not physically qualified for any branch of military service, and my doctor has advised me to slow down. but I can't af- ford to. I love my mother more than anyone and she tried very hard to help me in every way, but is it fair for the others to leave me the entire burden?

FRANK ( ANSWER: Five working members of a family certainly should be able to scrape a little money together to ease your financial obli- gatlon. Nothing in life irks me so much as the ease with which chil- dren cast off the care of parents. "Let. George do it!" is nowhere more applicable than in these cases.

You can't take their indifference out on your mother to the ex- tent of leaving her, but someone should get to these older children and make them see that they owe something to the parent who reared them.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl 16.and have been going with a boy for two months. He is in the Navy and will be away four yean. He Wants to marry me when he is home on his first leave. but I re- fused because his parents try to tell us what to do. I think if we got married they would try and run our lives and I wouldn't like

that.

- F. V. M. Of course you wouldn't like having However. don't you think you could put off serious things like marriage for a while? You're only 16 and have only known this boy two months. There's plenty of time to de- cide your future. You will be young Just once; don't rush into adult responsibilities until you have to.

ANSWER: Sensible child! your married life run for you.
