ELI.EII'S DIARY

By An Island Farmers Wlfa -390300-&0o-309":-obs;

A tricycle was moved in trying stages of travel along an indif- ferent April path to this house. from the one across the lane this morning. And coming in response to no uncertain wail for assist- ance. a small maid said wistlully "By rights. I should have two grandmothers living here - one that could do your washing and all. and the other to play with me!" A robin. we like to believe has been its tenant for a number and succession of years, and back to the white birch on the lawn, piped sweetly above our heads and we remember now that at that time we noticed a hollow sound in the voice of the sunny wind which. in regard to our work left us some concern. And as is usual in some of the trivial af- fairs of our living. James' words did nothing to lessen the feeling. "Quilts, Ellen!" he remarked, "but aren't you making a mistake in washing the like today? Oh. I know it's sunny now but it has every appearance of rain! Of course I could be astray. but there's a feeling of rain in the day!”

James had stopped for a minute on the verandah where we were at work. waiting there to be join- ed by the younger farmer at the task of carrying baskets of roots to the stock - turnips "that are al- together too expensive for feed" and mangals, so succulent and good at this season . The small busy engine was pulsing merrily. sending water in turn to replenish troughs and casks. From one close to the site of our labour we found easy liquid in which to rinse the washed pieces. "If ever you want articles to fairly glitter on the line. Ellen.” an old friend of our school days, at the moment spreading I wash. confided. "don't forget to scald them at the last with cold water! Yes," she laugh- ed, "if you've ever heard of such goings on, as 'scalding' with cold

water!" 0 O C

And James torn between desire and duty. and lending a strong arm to turn the wringer asked anxi- ously: "Will those quilts all have to be put through this again?" and presently was off to the cellar to fill the baskets for the stock. It turned out that his weather forecast was partly correct. If not by day. towards the dusk, and once as dark clouds massed to westward. James came in to inquire whether or not we had heard the rumbling of thunder, which introduces what may be fearful seasons for those whose spirits quake at the sound and sight of an electrical disturbance. Twilight spread quickly this eve- ning. flooding in from the hilltops and making the depths of the val- ley shadowy early. Pard's bark hailed Mr. C. making his way up the short-cut between the two lights, leaving his lonely house on the hill to talk shop with James - "guess it'll be a spell yet be- fore the things get out to grass!” To conjecture about the future sales of potatoes and to wonder "if subjects of perennial and mu- tual interest. discussed wherever any of the fraternity of farmer: meet "Did you ever hear the like of those two. in your born life?" granddaughter twinkled confidentially in an ear as she was cloaked and bonnetted for her homing.

Pain in the shoulder and Inn is a common ailment and the patient. thinking he has 8. "little arthritis," pays little attention to it, 11 the pain persists. or greatly increases. he consults his physician.

In most cases of shoulder and arm pain, infection-teeth. tonsils, Slims. gall bladder. large intestine -is present. If the pain is worse at night. when the patient is at Nil. infection is usually the cause and Physician and dentist search diligently for the source. Even after the infective process is re- doved, it may take months before the infection itself is entirely re- moved from the blood.

However. while infection is the commonest cause of this pain. pressure on the nerves of shoulder and arm is the next most frequent cause. During World War I. in these cases. what is known as a, clrvical rib in back of

Its removal gave instant relief.

Falls or blows on the side of the head cause many cases of shoulder and arm pain. A ruptured or pro- lspsed intervertebral disk (cush- ions between bones of the spine) is Sometimes found in the neck, as well as in the lower back. And just as a prolapsed disk in lower back will cause pain in the lower back and down the big nerve of upper and lower leg (sciatica) so does the prolapscd disk at back of neck cause pain in shoulder and upper arm. The individual should try to sit and stand tall always and when lying in bed have arms stretched out sideways, in line with shoul- ders. It has been found the tmen and women as they grow older. are

thus causing pressure on nerves and blood Vessels. Everyday fatigue or tiredness may also cause the symptoms.

In addition to pain in shoulder and arm from pressure on nerves there are symptoms due to pres- sure on the blood vessels. These symptoms are tingling. numbness, coldness, burning.

Pain or other symptoms in shoul- der and arm should be first exam- ined for infection; if no infection is present, an X-ray of the spine by use of a dye should be made which will show up where the pres- sure exists.

"It's a strange thing." James now in the comfort of his old armchair, remarks into thin air. "how soon a person can forget former ways of living! Yes. we sometimes criticize farmers who have left the farm to go into other occupations to lose all former in- terest in farming. But now it's a more personal angle that I'm thinking of. A farm-wife can go away for a matter of a few weeks. to come home forgetful of the

fact that hard-working folks must be fed!" Which brings us n and delight that it is: A star now in the window! - to a

More Milk Desserts

Fortunately most cooks are complimented when asked for their favorite recipes for the special cake, nickie or dessert

They know that for real cnveni- ence nothing beats a handy file of well tested recipes. The home economists of Consiunei section. Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa, are among those who are pleased to pass on their choicest recipes.

Canada's Food Rules emphasse the fact that children up to twelve years of age should have at least a pint of milk a day. Adolescents require even more; their quota being one and one-half pints. while adults should have at least one-half pint. Many homemakers interpet the rule to mean milk served as a beverage but much of it may be used in cooking. If the members of the family get more than their minimum requirements it is of course much better.
