Representing the W. I. of our community and in company with another of its ever-widening cir- cle. we today joined a representa- tive gathering from farm and vii- lage, from town and city at the Annual Meeting of the Prince lid- ward Island Tuberculosis League. The health of her family and those in her world about is always a consuming interest of the farm- wife. so that for us. this proved to be an interesting and. worth-while outing. Perhaps those of us who are older can best remember the ravages of the disease in the long ago - the misery and hopeless- ness and sorrow of it when often a premature death was welcomed to carry off the sufferer and end possible contagion to loved ones and friends. And learning some- thing of the high rate of cures as well as "the declining rain of case finding" in the enlightenment of this day and age. it was to say a prayer that all who could visit the Mobile X-ray clinic on its round. would avail themselves of the oppo unity, so that any need- ing it lght earlier benefit by subsequent treatment, and so be restored to good health again.

As we see it from this fann at Alderlea, it is not so much fear as I carelessness that keeps rural people from presenting them- selves at the Unit. "were perfect- ly healthyl" we tell ourselves. 01'. "we're much too busy today to bother with it!" vvheri we stop to consider, it is only good sense to be certain of our condition of health and if treatment is indi- cated in our X-ray. the earlier we receive it, the sooner our recovery; the longer our lives. Our cattle, we must have T. 13. free. our poul- try, our hogs. On farms we are most insistent about these, and yet through a careless attitude we may harbor a shadow ourselves. Aware of its unquestioned merits in locating unsuspected cases of T. B. and pointing them to treat- ment, we would respectfully urge every adult and child of prescrib- ed years to present themselves at the Unit when it comes to their neighborhood as a. sensible and precautionary measure in finding out. in curing, and in time eradi- cating the disease on the Island.

We were the grey-haired be- speckled farmwife. topped by a modish and flat-set hat of black straw which above some faces would be quite becoming. James laughed outright when he saw it above mire. "That's not new?" he queried. "Well, then I'm not in my second childhood! I could swear that old Miss... used to wear one exactly like that over sixty years ago . . Exactly like it . . bunch of flowers in front and all!" Our companion was a young mat- ron, who handled her car with an expert touch. she is an ex-school ma'am, attractive and alert- one who can teach a class, bake a cake. or sing a solo with equal ease and grace, as well as take a turn on the tractor, a part in the commun- ity play, or assist with the farm- choring. Dark of hair. fair of skin. merry of eye and chic is this in- teresting and talented woman of the farm. What a fine day after a succession oi damp ones was this for a feminine outingl Perhaps not on our account but to bless the wedding party we saw, an intri- guing incident in our visit to the city. He so handsome and obvious- ly proud of her and she happy and radiant in the traditional bridal white. Her attcndants gowned pi-ettily, were like flowers that blended colors in a. spring bouquet . . . We wished we might re-enter the hotel we were leav- ing that we might join in the fes- tive celebration, or at least linger long enough to wish the two all the happiness and joy that we 'lmow can be bound about by the magic circlet of a. wedding ring.

ALLEBGY AND INFECTE TONSILS AND ADENOIDS
Parents are sometimes greatly disappointed when removal of their child's enlarged tonsils has not brought about the disappear- ance of the symptoms for which the operation was performed. That allergy (sensltlveness to various substances such as foods. feath- ers, furs, pollen) may be causing the symptoms and not the en- larged tonsils is stated in Oa.iifor- nia Medicine by Dr. Ben F. rein- gold (Children's Hospital, Los Angeles).
"swelling is the chief factor in enlargement oi tonsils in allergic children. A large. pale, boggy and juicy-looking tonsil results, which. when coupled with symptoms of allergy (itching of nose, sneezing. running nose, drip from back of nose into throat and cough) give a picture of symptoms often mis- taken for infection of nose and throat." Because this syndrome or group of symptoms is really caused by the effects of allergy on lyrn- phoid tissue (tonsils and adenoids). surgical removal of these tonsils and adenoids, with no infection present. will not relieve the symp- toms. on the contrary it may ag- gravate the symptoms.
"The general rule should be that if no infection (or obstruction) is present. the removal of the ion- sils and adenoids should not take place. When tonsils Ol adenoid: produce symptoms of obstruction. removal is justified only when the allergic condition is adequately managed before and after the op- eration.”
It is known that with infection the allergic disease is aggravated. As the infection gradually sub- sides. the allergic disease im- proves. Thus where either infect- ed tonsils or adcnolds, or both. are present in allergic individuals. attacks of these infections occur more frequently. In conditions like this' it is important that in- fected tonsils and adenoids should be removed surgically.
"An allergic child who, after complete management of allergic disease for a reasonable time, still has the infections of nose and throat, which infections involve tonsils and adenoids, should have tonsils or adenoids or both re- moved," Dr. Feingold writes.
The thought then. from the above information from an auth- oritative source, is that when al- lergy and infected tonsils and ade- noids are present, the advice of a nose and throat specialist or al- lergy specialist. or both, should be obtained. Tonslls are needed by the body till the age of puberty unless infection or obstruction is present.

Q, When playing bridge. is a person ever justmcd in criticizing the play of his or her partner?
A. Not unless asked outright for an opinion of the play. Usually this opinion is not asked and to volunteer any criticism is a show of ill-breeding. sports and games are always a good test of a per- son's true character.
Q. When a man is r at a hotel for himself. his wife, and their 16-year old daughter, how should he sign? .
. "Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Smith, Miss Betty Smith."
Q. When Jelly is served on the dinner plate, how is it meant to be eaten?
A. With the fork, as it with the meat.

The tall, young-faced man ausp- ped out of the elevator on the thirteenth floor of the building on
along the hallway with an array of paper-wrapped packages stacked up to his chin.
Balancing the stack of ,bu.ndles, he bent his knees until his hand was on a. level with the doorknob and his chin was opposite the gold lettering on the frosted glass of the door. In neat. fine print were the words: Moe Martin, Literary Agent. Beneath this, in bold and elegant style, there appeared: Johnny Baron. Private Inveatigab ar. I Never Sleep.
Johnny Saxon managed to get the doorknob turned and then he kicked the door open with his toe. He staggered into the office and hurried toward a table and let the bundles fall in a heap. His bright. warm gaze touched the man seated behind the desk nearby.
"Hi, uncle," Johnny Saxon grin- ned.
Moe Martin looked up from the manuscript he'd been reading. He removed heavy rimmed glasses and placed them carefully to one side. and his tlred.bloodshot eyes stared first at all the bundles, then at tall Johnny Saxon.
"Something tells me," Moe Mar- tin said worrledly, "that we are going to be broke again." He frowned. "What have you been buying new?”
"Clothes." said Johnny Saxon. "I
' also got you some shirts and neck-
ties and socks. You are badly in need of them. sweetheart. All you need now is a new suit."
"I've got a suit."
"Yes,' agreed Johnny. "You have I suit."
Moe watched as Johnny Saxon started unwrapping all the pack- ages. He stood up and came around the big fiat-topped desk. He was of medium height. wide-set. with a large chest and a fringe of dark, wiry hair that circled his partially bald head like a halo. Moe Martin had round, sad features that con- tinually looked worried about something.
"I .didn't know you had any money." said Moe.
"I haven't," said Johnny Saxon.
"Then how the devil were you able to buy-" v
"I charged them. pappy. I've also made arrangements about your new suit. Thai. is, you have an appoint in half an hour."
"What am I going to use for money?"
"We'll charge that, too." said Johnny. I've picked you out a. fine tweed that is a splendid buy."
Moe groaned and went back and sat down beside the desk. He push- ed the thick manuscript aside.
"Just why," he asked sadly,"must you do things like this, Johnny? We haven't had a case in a month. After that Benson case you bought a new car instead of putting something aside. Now we're back to eating hamburgers again. And yet you should spend money-"
Johnny was grinning. He indi- cated the bundles and also the fine cabardine suit that he was wear- ing. He asked casually, "Peppy. have you ever heard of the Marlin Smiths?"
"I've heard of a whole lot of Smiths. I've got some friends named Smith. But-"
"I mean the Hardware smiths," said Johnny Saxon. "They're the ones who have hardware stores all over the country. There's another one they call Hamburger Smith.
