ELI.Ell'8 IIIABY

By An Island Farmer's Wife

The star gliinmered brightly be- yond the dim spreading top of the old white birch in the yard. burned with a fire that was not the friend- ly sparkling glow of our usual nights of good health, but was cool and impersonal. And how slowly, crept the hours of the night! The clock below in the kitchen rang an hour. James, light sleeper that he is with ears ever attuned to catch any

complaints of the animals about, stirred and came awake when we burrowed an ache more

deeply into the comfort , of the pillow. "Where does it ache now, Ellen?" he asked, concern in his voice. "Your head - or an ear? Don't you think" he went on with- out awaiting our reply "you should have a doctor?" We forgot our mis- eries of the moment, to consider the suggestion. How the place should be suddenly jolted out of the prevailing t-aim at this hour! Lights would flash on. James would be on his way to the stairs in no time. slipping suspenders in place - socks in hand. He would turn at the door to look back before des- cending, to appraise the content of our illness. There would be then the hasty rousing of the family in the house across the lane. and perhaps youngest grandson awakened thus abritptly by the sound of confu- sion would bowl to high heaven.

James would return then steps brisk across the yard to ring "in the road" -to say quietly (bearing in mitid as well, the barn-buildin;;, the liay-lands coming now to thelr fulncss and "all that hocing too.") "Your mothers not too well. I reck- on shes caught a bit more cold. We're having the doctor." And then because a liouse is a cheerless place indeed without a blaze on its hearth- stone. and perhe.p..' remembering that there might be hot water need- ed to render sterile some instru- ment or another, he would set about lighting the fire. Calling up "Where do you keep the paper, El- len?" and "I didnt or did I use the last match. on my pipe - are there any others about. Ellen?" And "Which way is it better to leave the stove-draft turned?" And call- ing more loudly "Dear me, Ellen. I'm just afraid this pipe's going to catch fire one of these fine days- and everything about fairly dry now. we must see to clean it- perhaps in the morning.”

And we should hear the broom fall across the door, though James would never notice it, and recall that the floor had not been left too tidy the evening before. And if anything .. .if we were "beyond a recall", well. we should have dusted the parlor more meticulous- ly yesterdcty - and musing on this rather unsettling scene, we watch- ed the star above the old white birch grow dim and dimmer - and we slept? The sun was filtering its first gold through a curtain of vine on a window to the east, when we awakened with a start to find a va- cbiicy beside us in the wide old bed. Where was James? Had he perhaps preferred to await the daylight to summon the doctor? We rose to an elbow. to survey our remains in the mirror - tucked up our locks, tid- ily, managed a wan smile. A spar- row chirped on a broad window- ledge. A calf in stable bawled lust- ily; the rooster crowed in strident tones, the ”gobbler" gobbled in a deep basso run; a mare nickered across the width of the barnyard, the black dog barked insistently. Somehow James had slipped away from us while we still slept and now past the sunrise was herding the cows to the milking.

6 That Body Of Your: ,By James W. Barton, MD. . "causes or DBY Mou-m

One of the annoying conditions that should send a victim to con- sult his or her physician is dry- ness of the mouth. Because it is not serious or immediately dan- gerous, little may be thought about it and the'busy physician should not be bothered when he has really sick patients demanding his attention.

In Archives of Dermatology and Syphilogy, published by the Ameri- can Medical Association. Dr. H. V. Allington states that dry mouth due to an insufficient supply of saliva may lead to redness. sore- ness and iissuring (small cuts) in the mucous membrane or lining of mouth or tongue with the possibil- ity of complete wasting away of the mouth llnin-3. In severe cases. rapid deterioration of the teeth occurs, and chewing and swallow- ing become difficult.

Insufficient amounts of saliva may result from: (1) decrease in salivary gland substance at birth and at old age, from operations on mouth and tongue, from inflam- niations and sometimes from use of X-ray and radium treatments: (2) disturbances of the nerves sttpplying the mouth. emotional states, interference with nerve im-

pulses due to tiritgs, gland dis- llll”C3nCSS, and toxic tpoisonousl substances; (.1) dehydration (lack

of water in the tissues) and (4) unknown causes.

Our nrst thought in disturb- ances of the lllllrtg of the mouth and covering of tongue is lack of vitamins. partlr-uhily vitamins A and B. some of which are seen in pernicious ancmin. task of iron and what is called Plummer-Vln- son syndrome (group of symp- toms) - diffictilty in swallowing. thin blood and inflamed tongue. Dry tongue occur in many cases of rlicumat id arthritis (the com- monest form of rheumatism) and with the gland or endocrine cit.-tnges that occur fol'owlng i'ic menopause in women. Many older men passing thrmizit the chance of life are afflicted with drs mouth.

The thou-zht. then, is that dry mouth should 'not be neglected be- cause of the anal effects that sometimes occur when no treat- ment is given. The family physic- lan. now that the various causes of dry mouth are known. can usu- ally treat these cases or. if neces- sary. refer them to the proper

specialist.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a Z)-year Force. While he was home on a week-en pass, he met a 17-yeaivold girl and took her out several-times. They corresponded for about six months. then he came home for ten days and bought her an en- gagement ring. His father and I are very upset about the romance.

Modern Etiquette l By Roberta Loo, g A

Q. If a girl meets I man whom she knows very well, on the street, who is obligated to speak 1Irst.? A. There is no "obligation" in a care of real friendship. Although, generally speaking, is the woman's privilege to speak nnt. still, if they are good friends, it is quite all right for the man to give out with is cheery "hello."

Q. when a man is being intro- duced to I woman, is it all right. for him to say. "I am pleased to meet you"?

A. No. such phrases. as. "I am pleased to meet you." and. "'1 am glad to make your acquaintance." are not in 'good taste. The accept- ed aclmowledgement is. How do you do?" I

Q. When eating a biscuit. and jelly at the table. id the jelly be spread on the bile it with the fork?

These are busy. happy days in the garden. Every morning there are new flowers that have opened up .in the night. and a walk around the garden is one of the pleasant surprises of the summer season. Foxglove and Sweet Wil- liam are making the garden bright with color just now and fragrant Pinks and Honeysuckle are mak- ing the garden fragrant and love- ly especially after sunset. Pinks are very easily grown from seed and they have been grown in this garden for many years. Dianthus or garden Pinks come in varieties suitable for the rock garden or edging the borders and the new plants are neat and hardy. In England they are used by the hundreds.

The Clematis in the dwarf shrub- by form is now in fragrant creamy bloom. this is fine for bouquets and it is a long-lasting flower. The white. fragrant flowers are loosely spaced on wiry branches and mix nicely with other ctit flowers. In the hardy border it grows into a large, graceful clump that blends well with other plants. It is an iron-clad plant. Nothing bothers it and it will withstand the lowest temperatures encoun- tered in this country. It is possible. to divide this plant and now there are three Clematis in this garden
