We did our link stitchinl. we recall. under the kiindly guidance oi a grandmother when ntme was Ann. We can see her yet. seet- ed in the old rocking-chair which to our mind is still hers. and we a. lit- tle. wondering girl on the sofa be- side . . . and beyond the small- paned window, summer on the fields. And from tho.porch on the other side oi the closed door where with the coming oi warmer weath- er the cook-stove had been in- stalled. came the muted sound of much activity as a mother indus- trlousiy cooked and "did ior" her growing brood.

And the scent which tantalised nostrils. and returns alter more than a half-century to mind, was 01 the loaves of bread and the rolls or other baking always done in good time. "surely you're not go- ing to make a cake at this hour oi day. Ellen?" mother had inquired with obvious amazement when high noon was past and we casual- ly commenced the like. ”But what were you doing all morning . . . that you are baking now? That's something you never saw me do -unless it might be the last loai oi bread oi si big batch. "And nev- er did the Sunday-oven hold more than a pie or a pan of doughnuts n-warming.

'A,v. it's over-sad. thatls what it is" we recall the sober comment oi one of two chatting housewives oi the long ago. "Indeed it's far irom what I would expect oi her moth- er's daughter. But that's what I'm told-she leaves some oi her bak- ing for the Sabbath." This of a young' wife oi the community. "well, mark my words" the other nodded, ”there'll be no good come n' desecrating the Lord's Day like that! Isn't it terrible the goings- on oi these days? Flying in the Face of Providence. I call it. My my- our forbears would turn over in their graves, could they know it. Ay. their rest would be sadly dis- turbed. I'm thinking."

Garden Topic: I By oosnon LXNDEAY sun-a Doubling Up

Where space is limited or where one wants to get the maximum out oi.the vegetable garden. that are various ways or growing too crops or practically so on the suns piece oi land. Oi course where one goes in for this intensive sort oi gm ening. extra. iertilizer is es- sential and the soil must be well worked and rich. In this double cropping business we alternate rows oi an early kind with a later one, ior instance. radish and car- rots, or lettuce and beans. or peas and potatoes. We, also have less space than normal between the rows, ii necessary no more than 12 or 15 inches. The early stun, oi course, comes on quickly and is used up before the later maturing vegetables require iull room. An- other practiceis to iollow the har- vesting oi the first vegetables like the peas, lettuce. spinach, radish. early onions. etc.. with another sowing oi the same or something else that will be ready say in August or September. Then there are certain crops like squash. pumpkins that we can plant ui the outside rows of corn, or we can have staked tomatoes along the end oi any vegetable row and cucumbers along the ience.

With ilowers. too. it is possible -

to get double crops. in fact nearly all gardeners do. and some have even three. Amongst the spring ilowering bulbs they set out well started petunias. I!-5'-H8. Zlnnlns. marlgolds, etc. These come into bloom within a short time alter the last tulips. and in some cases the iirst oi these are followed again by later set out plants or by annuals from seeds such as nas- turtiums. alyssum, cosmos. 810- 357

DIET AND APPENDICITIS

I have written before of what was known as the Philadelphia Experiment. in which the physic- ians oi Philadelphia were able to cut down the death rate in appen- dicitis to the lowest rate known anyivhere. These results were ob- tained by making sure, before ev- ery operation for appendicitis, that no food or laxatives were given.

In "Archives oi Surgery" in Netherland Medical Journal, Dr. L. W. Van Ouwerkcrk states that from a review of literature on the subject, he has gained the im- pression that acute appendicitis is

'comparatively ircquent and dan-

gerous in Northern Europe, Am- erica and Australia. Among the native population in Asia and Al- rica. but not among the Europeans living there. appendicitis is rare. When the natives cat the richer diets of Europeans, then they have a larger percentage of cases of ap- pendicltls.

Before World war II, apperidl. cltls was iairly frequent and seri- ous among the Dutch, both in Europe and Indonesia. but during the war the percentage oi cases in the Netherlands decreased. With a diet consisting of inadeq- uate or insuiiiclent amounts oi rice. coarse vegetables and almost no meats or iats, such as was given to Dutch women and child- ren in a Japanese internment

peered. This seems to show that there is a. relation between diet. particularly the lat content, and the number oi cases and death rate oi appendicitis. It would ap- pear irom the above that the eat- lng oi fat foods is a cause or a partial cause or appendicitis.

While Dr. Ouwerkerk does not mention the fact, we learned as students that disturbance oi the gall bladder is frequently iound with appendicitis. Many surgeons. .10 ODHBUDB lor appendicitis, en- large the abdominal opening so that they can investigate the con. dltion oi the gall bladder and, it necessary, perform any surgical operation they iind necessary.

It is interesting to examine the special diet for liver and gall bladder disturbances as outlined 'by Professor Sanford Blum. San Francisco. in his book. "Practical Dietetics."

Meals and fish to be eaten in liver and gall bladder disturbances are: Fresh meat. white nah, game or poultry once a week.

Meats and nsh to avoid are: salt. canned. preserved and spiced meats and fish; corned beef, pork, liver. int bacon; herring. salmon. sardines in oil. mackerel; stews; goose. domestic duck. oysters and shellfish: fats and oils, tried foods oi any kind.
