I: An Island Farmers Wlle

Again it has been brought to mind that by some unfortunate turn of fate, the "even tenor" of '.folks' living can be changed in a twinkling to one of immediate concern. Yesterday with every- thing serene and all apparently well in our world about, the three housewives of the family sat hap- pily at their needlework in the sitting room, then flooded bright- vly with afternoon sunlight. Jeanie was knitting a mitten to replace the one of granddaughters which had vanished on a windy nizhl when, we escorted her home. Wlth the branches of the white birch tossing wildly above us in passing, and she bare of head; her coat thrown about her shoulders scam- peringr ahead. And James calling from a piggery door: "Ellen, what-i ever do you mean allowing that child out so lightly clad on a cold windy night like this? She'll gct pneumonia -that's what she wil',i with such carelessness!" l

... l

And we protesting mildly into. the face of the gale. murmuring under our breath: "Ours wouldn't do the like of thatl" And yet ap- preciating that perhaps the young- ster was not being deliberately willful in her fancy, but only chose to go adventuring - to feel the brisk breeze in her hair and the; cool kiss of it on her cheeks. So Jeanie knit to replace the neat one of navy-blue missing since then . . , perhaps blown along the

fields - from our hands. '

Jamie accepted a helping but preferred "is clearer soup - not one all cluttered up with carrots and the like", Gaga dimpled merrily declared "soup is for cats!" and refused to taste his. while youngest grandson of all found it Just to his liking. Fish! The refusal was general, with the housewives who voted it excellent. " I never fancy creamed stuff" .1a.mes commented, before the "little , pitchers" "Grsn'daddy likes his cod-fish griddled" granddaughter piped up.

l Strange But True

By I-1 u. biacutliur

It's surprising the number of poor spellers found in the professions. Teachers and writers head the list. The "Massachusetts Teach" gives us some interesting data. It stat- ed that ; teacher ya ted him- self as a candidate for the master- shlp of a school, of which the salary was two thousand. I-lis quali- fications were okay in all respects except in spelling. He did not get the job .. Another fact given by this publication was "that a

antleman of excellent reputation as a scholar was proposed to fill a professorship in a New England College, but his correspondence contained so much bad spelling that his name was dropped". .

I might add that 9. young woman of Summerside was highly re- commended as a typist to a local business man. Replying to a letter sent her by the firm, she wrote, "Torsday” for "Tuesday", and this one little error lost her the posi- tion. . . In contrast with such carelessness, consider the follow- ing fact: some years ago a teach- er in one of our rural schools was surprised to find two oi her pupils able to mulihply 21 figures by 21 figures, without using a pencil. That's amazing when we consider that it required 42 figures to express the product. The mental task was performed without an error. One pupil was 40, and the other 45 minutes in solving the problem.

Daniel safford carried home the iron on his back that he'd pur- chased when he started his black- smith shop in Boston. Ben- jamin Franklin wheeled his paper from the warehouse to his print- lng office, when he established himself in the business in Phila- d phia. A Canadian mil- lionaire earned his first dollar as

Dr. Malcolm Dockerty. born at Cardigan. Prince Edward Island, peddled codfish and packed rail- way ties to pay his way through college.

DIVEBTICULOSIS -. POUCIIES IN LINING OF LARGE BOWEL

when a. patient complains of uneasiness. distress or pain in ab- domen with considerable gas and almost constant constipation. the physician, if patient is middle- aged or over. may suggest an x-ray examination.

An x-ray examination of stem- ach small and large intestine con- sists of giving two or more ounces of barium sulphate in buttermilk or other liquid 14 hours after the last meal eaten. The patient is ex-

utes after, then four to six hours after, and then once a day for several days. as it may take as long as a week or more for the barium to pass out of the body.

Instead of ulcer or cancer. the x-ray may reveal dlverticulosis of lower end of large intestine (colon). Diverticulosls consists of little pouches oripockets in the lining of the colon. As the waste matter gets into these pockets, it putrefles and causes the gas and other symptoms present.

Drs. Franklin H. Goodwin and E. N. Collins, in Cleveland Clinic Quarterly, state that in a series investigated, 75 per cent of the 726 consecutive patients were 50 years of age or over, and 65 per cent were overweight. In addition to the distress across the abdomen. scxne patients suffered with nau- sea and vomiting and some with diarrhoea (irritable colon) and a considerable number (121) had some real or organic disease of the stomach and gall bladder.

Now the fact that there were so many cases of organic disease present with diverticulosis should not frighten these patients who have an irritable colon. It should, however. cause them to agree to an

x-ray examination of the whole digestive tract. Treatrnent of these cases of

dlverllculosls consists first of try- ing to prevent future complic- ations. lllmetional upsets and phy- sical and mental exhaustion should be avoided. Small weekly or bi-weekly doses of barium sul- phate (two ounces in glass of but- iermllk) may be given as this sub- stance gers into the diverticuli (pockets). seals them over and of waste matter. The diet should be free of seeds, skin and coarse fibres. and there should be plenty of rest within the 24 hours. plenty of fluids and regular bowel move- ments. If stools are hard. a three- ounee oil enema should be placed in bowel before retiring and left overnight.
