Now as the summer-heat wanes and the hearth-fires become more respected agents than once in the kitchen. do we on farms come to the fulsome. engaging fragrance:

of the season . . . the canning and l

preserving in a continuation of that which belonged to summer's greener's days. Peaches and peers and plums it is now - and ap- ples, the fruits that are A part. of the harvest. which now in abun- dant stocks or still awaiting the reaping adorn goldenly our hill- sides.

There is too. nice pungency of first relishes and pickles, the sweet of eastern spice. the piq- uancy of vinegar as with practiced hands the housewives come once more to such brewings . . . Apple relish, we uiade today of some fruit gathered recently from a tree on "the other farm" Vin an old orch- ard there. where walked once we are sure other farmwives and boys and girls of the long ago . . .

Children as are these. trying the tastefulnc:-s of the new apples. biting into the mellow cheek of a windfall or eycini: one richly yel- low up in a, toprnost branch . . . Quaintly gowned women of those yesteryears. full-skirted and apron- ed. heads not :i. whit robbed of their long crowiiing glory. Or did they. as we now r('c.'lll faces ill an old al- bum of parlor. chose to wear their tresses short. forciieads decorated. with coy bangs. a style revived in the present”

The mit.in:. nhich took two lads: and their Grniidmother on a. trac- iior, led throurzli the late summer sunshine 9. short. way along this road of ours spanned so many places by the bridges which cross the mlllstream. It was good to leave the indoor cares for a while. to come through lovely pastorals of. field and meadow, of stream andl grove, of pasturing flock' and herd to the silence and peace of that other farm: to see through the Sl'l8.31e3'E'S of the children sights we ould otherwise have missed.

Would We have noticed the en- trance to the home of some tiny :liff-dweller chiselled out neatly in a steep bank by the roadside? Or seen the blue and white asters mirroring dainty pensive faces in a pool by 8. bridge? Or taken stock of the little once-neglected ewe- .amb maturing so nicely? Or loved the solemn beauty of the grain- 'ields, spread between us and the Westering sun. "They're good, don't you think so?" we queried of Jamie of those in the neighborhood there if the yards.

He nodded. "I think they out" he smiled. "Gran'daddy'll be sure they're only... what. does rte say? 'Fair-good! I" he offered. 'had a. share in their cropping; I narrowed the fields; mostly eve- nings. I can hear yet the frogs and toads singing down there a- long the stream."

Other and less sprightly songs this season inspires; lonely little melodies we find them. They speak of late vacatioriists now up and away; of children to school and young folks to college and uni- versity. They tell of anxious and fond good-byes to meet. again maybe not too far in the future or perhaps not before the memory of every chill wind of winter, ev- ery ariow-fn.ll has been forgotten in the delight. of another summe.

VERY FEW EARLY SIGN! OR SYMPTOMS IN CANCER OF THE STOMACH

1:1:

It is known that durinc World War II, 300,000 men were killed in action and about the same number of persons were killed in the United states by cancer of the digestive tract. Of this total, 100.000 deaths were due to cancer of the stomach. Research workers state that des- pite the number of cancer patients actually cured by our present meth- ods at treatment - X-rays, radium, and surgery - within lo years deaths from cancer of the stomach will be 40.000 annually. Why is the death rate by cancer of the stomach so high? Unfortunaiey, stomach cancer in its early stages produces few or no signs or symptoms. In the "Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion." Drs. Alton Ochsner and John Blalock. Department of Surgery, Tulane University of Louisiana School of Medicine, New Orleans. state that patients pay little atten- tion to their symptoms-slight dis- tress after eating. loss of weight and loss of appetite -until several months pass. Even after consulting their physician. the physician must make the usual tests for cancer of the stomach-test meals, X-rays and fluorosoope - which means further delay before treatment; is begun. In their series of 210 pat- ients with stomach cancer. there was an average duration of the

an average weight loss of about 30 pounds before the physician was consulted and treatment. was given. Loss of weight was the most prominent manifestation. being present in over 90 per cent of the patients; pain occurred in about 84 per cent; nausea in 59.5 per cent; tendernes in about 53 per cent; loss of appetite in 53 per cent; sini- ple vomiting in 50 per cent; a dc- finite mass in the stomach which could be felt. by the fingers of the physician in 40 per cent; difficult swallowing by 14 per cent; discolor- ation of the skin by 20 per cent. Another research physician and his associates report. that 56 per cent (more than half of their pat- ients) had, as early complaints. loss of appetite. fullness and indigestion. Because loss of weight. loss of ap- petite iind a feeling of fullness may be felt by almost everybody at times. it is not strange that per.- ients and physicians wait and watch too long. In all these cases an average of 19 months elapsed between onset of the first symptoms and admission of patient to hospi- tal. What is recommended to save lives in stomach cancer? Drs. Och!- ner and Blalock state that it is im- perative that "occasionally" in pat- terns whose signs and sympt loss of weight and appetite - sug- gest cancer of the stomach but in whom no positive laboratory find- ings can be demonstrated. opening the abdomen and exiploring the stomach region should be done in all men past 40 years of age who previously have been well before onset of these synrptonie.

Duty Is A Hard Taskmaster

- Women With Dying Husband Succumbs '- l To Pitfalls Of Loneliness

DEAR. MISS DIX: I'm as years old. quite attractive. have a 19-year- oid son in college. and a. wonderful husband. About two years ago my husband was taken ill with an incurable disease and was given not more than two or three years to live. About a. year ago. while taking care of my husband's business. I met a man and. since I was so lonely for companionship. became attracted to him and we fell in love. Now I find I am to have his child, and he demand; that either I tell my bus-

him himself. I'm afraid the shock will kill my bus- band. ETHER S. SHAMELESS GIGOLO

ANSWER: When I consider all the wives I know who have nursed sick husbands through long. back- breaking years of illness, most of it much worse than has fallen to your lot. it is a bit sickening lo rea- lize how easily some women can forget the years of, devotion from a good man. To them. marriage is fine as long as it consists of the "better" and "in health". Comes adversity, illness, and need for care and the "worse" as well as the "sickness" part of the marriage vow fly out the window.

Duty is an irksome thing. it's true, but without it there would bel no family life at all, no marriage. in fact. we wouldn't even have a. country. It. didn't take you very long to turn your back on an invalid lius- i band to find a healthy sweetheart. ii hose chief concern seems to be fea-3. thering his own nest. You admit to buying him clothes and paying peril of his apartment rent, You have a share in a good business to bring as; a dowry. yet you ascribe his feeiiug toward you as true love! Aren't you naive? Your future With him will be anything but pleasant.

Your husband, apparently, (and fortunately, for him), isn't entirely dependent upon you for physical care, else you wouldn't have had time for another men. since there's no way he can be kept from knowing of your infidelity, I do hope you leave him in good hands. You certainlyl have failed miserably in meeting one crisis, perham you'll do betterl with the ones that await you in the future.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been going steady for over two years with a man of 35. three years older than I. We are both single. A month ago. I had business out of town for a week and while I was away he took one of the girls in the office. to a dance (not an important affair). I heard of it. by accident and my pride has been so hurt I feel I should dis- continue the friendship. My friend. when confronted with the evidence. said he did it on an impulse, didn't tell me because he knew I'd be upset, and has no desire to break off with me.

Muriel N llsen

LILA A.

ANSWER: Your friend's explanation sounds logical enough and. if you have nothing further against him, I would advise against breaking up your friendship. His conduct emphasizes the need of two people to have perfect confidence in each other. he evidently was quite certain that you would be jealous, hence his immediate reaction to withhold an unpleasant truth from you. Were he equally sure of your trust. the in- clclent might have passed off entirely. He doesn't sound like either a chronic philanderer or a confirmed liar.
