If you have dark lamp shades in your house which make reading difficult, try lining them with a piece of white paper or a cont of white paint. It may double, or even treble the light given off.

KITCHEN LOB!

Here's n hatful of helpful hints contributed by housewives and economic specialists out of their own experience.

For instance — there's the mat- ter of making crumbs out of crack- ers. cookies or bread. Just put the food to be crushed into a paper or cloth bag and roll——in the bag— with a rolling pin. Or, if you like, you can put the food through a grinder and tie a bag on the end to catch the crumbs,

If you find large, rocklike lumps of sugar in the jar. try this met- hod of attack. Instead of jabbing at them with a spoon or some oth- er weapon, slip a quarter of an ap- ple into the container. However. first, be sure it's a tightly closed container. The apple will soften the hardest lumps of sugar, and it's simpler than using brute force.

APPARENT INCREASE IN DEATHS FROM DIABETES

When Drs_ Banting and Best, University of Toronto, discovered insulin in 1922. it naturally was thought that. as insulin preserved the lives ot diabetics, there would be fewer deaths from this dread disease. Therefore. it comes as a surprise-a shock. in fact. - to read, according to certain statis- tics, that deaths from diabetes act.- ually are increasing. And “ii-ten these statistics are issued in the United States Public nelutn Re- lwfli. they must be true_

‘ However, while figures do not l-ie, ill this particular case they are mis- leading. and diabetics and the 1am. ilies of diabetics should learn the actual facts. The true story is that which we all expected-that is. that the death rate in. diabetes would decrease.

Why. then. does an official report state that the death rate has not decreased, but actually is increas- lng?

In these same official reports. Dr_ I. M. Morlyama states that, since, the discovery of insulin, the death‘ rate actually has decreased. The reason that the figures show the death rate as increasing is because of the Government's method of having the physician state on the death mrtiflcate the first. or prim- ary disease causing the death. Thus a physician. who has a dia- betic patient getting along without any trouble by ‘diet and insulin treatment but who also has heart disease, may feel that the diabetes was a factor ln his death. W-hen death occurs, naturally the phy- sician states that heart disease caused death. However, on his death certificate, he must state. that diabetes was "contributory" to death because dlabetcs was thejlrst or primary cause of his illness. Thus, in the statistics issued by the GOVPTIIMCHI. diabetes would be sel- ected as the primary cause of death over heart disease ‘This 58.1118 government ruling also would apply to other diseases.

Your physician will tell you that by the aid of insulin he has kept many diabetics alive for years. en- abling the great majority of them to attain the age they would have lived even if they had not been afflicted with diabetes.

Ellen 's Diary

By an Inland Farmer's Wife

"This is June!" I whispered. scarcely believing myself, when I awakened to the new day, this morning. "June!" James repeated brightly. "and we content to lie here lazily as though the cropping was completed-and our sowing barely started! And many another farmer round about clone!" And with surprising agility he was up and garbed and on his way down tu the kitchen, If we have gained wisdom with our experience it is to know that once James rises it is better to l'ollo\v close on his heels. Or else, as today there are abrupt interruptions tn the flights of fancy and plpnnlng that our wake- fulness brings.

“Shall I light the lire. Ellen?" brought “as you wish" and conse- quently a running commentary, with odd questions between. "Dear bless us. Ellen, is that what you call kindling? And couldn't you have made it finer than that-and

And all the time June ivas hold- ing the new-clad lacey branches of the old birch tree against the ex- quisite rose of the morning sky. and a little wandering wind which James had already read on the mili- pond stole in, in a breath to stir a curtain. And the robin irilied as though his throat would burst — a song that told of every loveliness that ever was or would be in this old world. There was love and gaiety in his lay, and promises that never could be fulfilled. And from close by we heard the answering chirp of his mate. It was a happy contented sound that indicated if they never could be implemented, since circumstances change in the days’ turnings, she would look be- yond mere words to find reassur- ance. She would know that his sentiments were unchanged even if he neglected to offer bouquets and compliments, and pretty phrases. She would continue to read his avowal when he tugged at a worm on the lawn, or when he brought a fat grub to her larder.

DEAR MISS DIX: We hear a lot about wives retaining their hus- bands’ affections. Why isn't more said about husbands keeping their wives‘ love up to par?

I know.

Never was there a greater mistake, for a husband may have all the major and minor virtues and be a good provider to boot. but if he is allergic to the bath- tub and goes unshaven and unshorn. and if his clothes look as if they had just been fished out of the garbage can, hlswife is going to lose her taste for him.
