ELl.EIl'S DIARY

By An Island Farmers Wllo

A strange over-night guest sleeps now at Alderlea. This circumstance came about when a tanned, sturdy lad asserted at time for homing this evening "well. if Jamie stays. I'm going to stay too!" No bland- lshment could dint his notion. "Certainly!" James stopped in the barnyard on his way to the stable with the brown mare, last liftings of hay over for the day "if he wish- es to stay, It him!" So Karolyn. 31- tcr repeated "Good-byes" and fond lingering glances. and Rob's thoughts. probably ahead to the busy 'incidence of his Ichorins. drove away into the gathering twi- ngm, Not, long before. indeed, when with the children we gathered our cows to the milking. Slim Sold?" fingers of light. had played among the shadows of the pasture, mak- ing lustrous pools for the scented clover, but. by now these had been taken home to the west and the quiet purpling shadows of dusk were following the course of the

. valley.

The children continued their play, voices rinsing out happily in the stillness of this their own hour. The younger farmer carried heap- ing pails of meal from the feed house to a piggery. The mare had been stripped of her harness and now by a forelock "our own mare" following, James was leading her to the near night-pasture. Calm and peacefully the day was dying. Presently a bright star twlnkled in the inlay of amber in the silver- blue above the dark of the wood- lands up the creek. And the old house like a broad-bosomcd niother-n35 settled down com- fortably to call her family to she!- ter. The youngsters came to the front vcrandnli, granddaughter to say her G0()fl-nl.'..'i1t5 . . . and James then to Join us. Very still were the trees about as they awaited the night - and dark. An enchanting time it was for those of us who like to linger without while day and night meet. though withal somewhat lonely.

Jamie chuckled "Hc won't-not when I'm here!"

The idea still persists in James' mind. He puts down his reading to to regard us inqulringly ovei- his glasses. "Listen -what was that?" The black dog beyond the screen door roused and shook himself and then wandered off into the yard. "You know. Ellen. it's a ter- rible feeling to be homesick.

YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE AND YOUR ABTERIES

When a severe vise-like pain occurs under the breastone, the first thought of the individual and often of the physician is that it is an-gina pcctoris, which is a symp- tom oftcn present with high blood pressure and an oncoming attack of coronary throm-bosis.

While angina pectoris is fre- quently found wilh heart disease and high blood pressure, just as often it is due to other conditions of which I have written in previous articles.

In the pamphlet, Your Blood Pressure and Your Arteries, by Alexander L. Crosby, we read that angina pectoris does not mean the end of the individual. "It is simply a violation of the law of supply and demand; the heart's demands are not being met in full. Many persons have this condition for ten or twenty years and then die

of some trifling ailment." This tightness of the chest is really a blessing in disguise, a

warning to stop doing what you happen to be doing at the time, and in short time the pain us- ually passes away. By doing noth- lng, the blood gets a chance to get rid of some of its carbon dioxide and take more oxygen.

While this painful tightness of the chest is alarming. fortunately there are simple ways of relieving this pain caused by shortage of blood, more particular shortage of oxygcn and oversupply of car- bon dioxide in the blood. A small pellet of nitro.';l,vcz-rlne, 1-100 grain or less, placed under the tongue or swallowed. with dilate the arterioles (small blood vessels) of the heart within a few minutes. While lhe effect of nilroglycerinc lasts only about half an hour, the dose is so small that it can be taken repeatedly without harm. Despite all the new and effective methods of relieving angina pec- toris, methods which dilate blood vessels and allow more to be pum- ped through them. 1:troglycerinc is still the mosh popular remedy as it can be carried in thepocket and. with first feeling of tightness in the chest, a pellet can be slipped under the tongue and quick re- licf obtained from the pain as the pellet does not have to go down to stomach and be digested before reaching the blood vessels.

The pamphlet. Your Blood Pressure and Your Arieries. con- tains much information that will allay unnecessary feais and we can all learn simple methods of safeguarding our heart and blcod vessels Twenty-five cents sent to

the Pulic Affairs Committee. a non-profit organization. 22 East 38th Street, New York 16, NY.,

Sometimes there is difficulty in separating a raw egg without breaking it. Try breaking the eggs into a funnel. The white of the egg will pass through into the bowl underneath, while the yolk will remain in the cup of the fun- nel.

Pewter

Only fine scouring materials should be used on pewter. as it is a soft metal. Whiting. rouge, or fine rotten stone mixed with oil are all good cleansers.

Paint

Almost any kind of paint can he applied with a spray. However. it must be properly thinned to spraying consistency and this can be determined by testing it on small pieces of material.
