EI.LEN'S IIIAIIY

By An Island Farmer's Wife

There are those occasions in our farming when completing the ne- cessary chores of some period, or leaving them as a. not unpleasant bequest to the family in the house Across the lane. we come away with James to an outing. It may be only A pleasant stroll along the home fields or along woodsy or streaniside paths, all of which we know so well . . .to Rob's perhaps or a neighbor's and sometimes further afield. This evening bring- ing a surprising and enjoyed in- terlude 'in the haying we attended a Church-supper in the commun- ity in which we were born and reared - and from whence in a. cotton gown of shepherd's check and with a wide flat hat of shiny straw in a rosy shade drawn de- corously down on our thick dark braids, we set out one July mom- lng of the long ago to teach in a country school shaded by a cool maple grove at a cross roads.

"Ellen - if I were you" mother- to-us, so busy with the affairs of her large household advised us on that memorable morning "I'd wee: that black and white dress. It makes you look more grown-up!" A princess design it was, which in- fluence in fashions has appeared and disappeared more than once since then. The bodice was fitted. with a high collar reaching well up beneath the ears and finished by a fashionable - and detach- able cord of pink at the top. Grad-

uated panels from and back ex- tended down to the hem which stopped modestly at mid-calf

These were met at the hip-line by pretty pleats. and looking back now we think perhaps these con- tributed no small part in making us at least handy with a press- ing-iron. How was it fastened? A line of sturdy-but concealed hooks and eyes reached from collar to waistline at the back and if the young of these generations have a notion that athletics were almost unknown to the feminine persua- sion in those days. the ability to fasten these ill a hurry. would dis- perse that idea. 0 D

"And here. Ellen" said this mother-of-eight. "is my watch. You may use it until you earn one of your owni" We proudly and carefully slipped the long rope- chain about our high collar, ad- justed the keeper, wondering all the time if it were true as we had heard that it was unlhlry to wear an opal though that in the keeper

And now picking up a modish and all- enveloping navy coat which serv- ed in shower and sunshine. and the parcel of sundries to do us un- til Friday at tour, we bade Good. bye to those who cared to stop to hear it. And listening to such ban- ter from the younger fry as: "Now. dpn't let the scholars 'sass' you or put you out. Ellen!” and t'Isnt it nice that you know your A-B-C's and can count up to a hundred!" We went out over the threshold of that place which was to be our

CAN HABDENING OF THE AB'l'-

EIIIES BE PREVENTED 08 DIMINISHED

we Are only beginning to recog- nize that high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries are the adults greatest enemies. Physic- ians have fought and conquered diabetes and pernicious anemia: we expect. physicians. chemists, and possibly laymen to oonquer cancer. What about the outlook for curing hardening of the arteries and thus preventing coronary thrombosis and apoplexy?

In The Copenhagen Medical Journal. Dr. K. Kjt-rulf-Jensen says that atheromatost; (harden- ing of the arteries) may be pro- duced when more fat is eaten than the body can oxidize properly. Ability to burn up or use fat in the body is lessened when carbohydrate tstarch) oxidation is reduced. as in diabetes, lack of vitamin B1. and probably lack of enough thyroid extract in the blood.

Usin-; very strong measures. such as cutting down too much on fat foods and reducing weight too rap- idly. can be dangerous.

"Sudden rigorous in.-inition (ac- quiring leanness) in an obese per- son will be followed by great ac- cumulation of fat. as shown by the Cevelopment of hyperlipcmia (too much fat in the blood) Dr. Kjeiulf writes. An attack of conorary thrombosis might readlv follow too strict reduction of fat foods and too rapid reduction of weight.

"Reduction of weight should oc- cur slowly and not be marked by overly rigid periods of fast'..:g. Prevention of artiztrinsclerosls (hardening of the artev--es) )is one of the most important problems of the coming years."

While insurance m--dlcal exam- iners and htalth u.'riter.- have for years. been pointing out the din; gears of overweight. particularly a: causes of heart and ltlood vessel disturbances. there has not been as much stress as there should Lave been on the danger; or too strict a diet in l'C';'ll'd to fat-forming lu.)dS and also of trying to -'--o'uce weirht too rapidly.

By watching these two points we may be able to prevent hardening of the arteries or delay the hard- ening for a number of years.

Fomonfing Quorrols Within Family-A Childish Trait

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Some time Ago my married sister had

A misunderstanding with my mother that began with A small quar- rel and has grown into hesrtaches for everyone. My sister-has two lovely daughters. whom my mothechu never seen. Mother is nearly ?- .. 55 and has always had people do as she wants;

she does not like to be crossed. She is a kind. generous person as long as people do things" her way. Father is the silent type, so whatever moth- er says goes.

My sister liver in the sameitown as we do. and I love her very much, but mother says if 1 visit her I am a disloysl daughter. I Am even for- bidden to go to parties or small gatherings which my sister may attend. I Am not Afraid of my ..s mother but if I don't do as she says there is al- ways an argument. Am I wrong in loving my sister and my mother both. and trying to make mother understand that I can love ligthc? , . .

ANSWER: Your letter belies your own words. You say you're not afraid of your mother-you're scared Atlff of her And so. apparent- ly. is everyone else within sound of her voice except your sister! if your mother can deny her own child because of a silly quarrel. what is she going to do to your own life if you ever decide to set out on your own?

DON'T BE COWED

I don't like to countenance filial disobedience but if youcmother is going to win her own way in the matter of you seeing your sister. you will definitely establish the pattern of a cowed daughter. You don't. state your age. and that of course has it bearing on the case If you are under age, you have no choice but to go your mother's way, but if you have reached your majority, you'd better show A little independence before it's too late.

Every time I blast away at dominating mothers-or mothers-in- law-I g-et letters from perfectly normal mothers who accuse me of bias against all maternal parents. Nothing could be further from the truth. which is that I hold the entire estate of motherhood in- cluding mothers-in-law in such high esteem that I am riled to while heat by women who desccrate the title by reading fsmllles asunder instead of abiding by their God-given right of molding them together. Certainly no mother worthy of the name would estrange herself from a daughter and grandchildren over a silly quarrel-or even over a more serious one. She'd do everything she could to mend the tilt and maintain A united family.

to make them rise. Variations of each type are so numerous that literally hundreds of different ones that can be made.

Success in making qulckbreads depends mainly on four points The first requisite is to use A re- l:able recipe and follow it care- fully. The second point is to use good quality ingredients and un- less the recipe says to have them hot or cold, use them at room Thlrdly, follow the mixing directions carefully, being sure to use accurate. level meas- urements And lastly. but not least, bake in s. well regulated oven. A fifth point might be Add- ed and that is to serve quick- breads dripping with butter, hon- cy. maple syrup or jam. They make anyone's mouth water just thinking about them. However. don't get the impression that serving these qulckbreads dripping with honey or other sweets is the only way in which they may be served.
