ELLEW DIARY By An Island Farmer's Wife

Happy summer days like with,. one fancies. the chimes peace-bells ringing out. only vaguely yet but promlslnl. 16105-5 the wide world. bring vacationlsts to our door. Folks of the farm. it may be. interested as are those at Alderlea, in the affairs Of the farming -the rows to hoe. 1119 haylands to mow and burns to build. Just passing it may be- but stopping by to bring us new friend- ships and scenes from far farm- steads. And in their findings, per- haps somewhat disappointed to discover at first hand that this is as we have pointed out, an ordin- ary Island farm and not 50me Im- posing estate. Made up of such pasture. hay. grain and woodland, as is to be found in any 0' me three Counties. Dottedr sparsely with herds and flocks, and to one of the housewives' chagrin, with only two turkey poults to attest to her gifts as a poultry-farmer.

"What shall we do with those?" granddauglitcr perched on the door-sill of their house-on-stilts and looked dreamiiy into the fu- ture this morning. while we attend- ed to their needs in the way of food and water". "Well" she reason- ed "supposing only one lives I0 grow big, we'll Just have to cook him for Jamie's birthday in De- cemberl And if it doesn't live" she lowered her voice impressively" i guess" :he nodded "that will pull an end to your turkey-raisiiignlily graiidfatlicr said. thei'e'd not like-

so visitors come to our door. on a recent day cousins of the fam- ily from a distance who had known of the place only by legend, stop- ped by to visit us briefly. . . James at the weeding with Jeanie and the helpers, and we at the belated week-end baking. and the small ones shuttling between field and house. There was the small and talented grandmamma. lull-lllllbly proud of her grandchildren, the two of an interesting pair from Cape Breton's shores: YOUR: Slui- dy Sandy, whom granddaughter declared was "much like Jamie' because he had admired her dark kitten and joined heartily in her other interests of the moment. And his sister, quite as bonny. 111 her early teens who read for U3 50 beautifully we felt that, after our company had gone, we should take time to educate our small girl along those lines. ”Come here, dear!" we called from the kitchen. she look- ed up from the back vernndah where now she played a bit lonlly with the cats. "What have you for me?" she queried curiously. "Noth- ing at all - just want you to learn this verse with me." She shook her head so decidedly. she reminded us of James, when we propose some outing to carry him away from his farming. "No!" she said "I can't stop now to say verses - I'm too busy with these children of mine!"

"What!" James says. starting up from the old armchair as the clock chimes the hour, "It's never bed- time again!"

MORE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR. HEART

Axoouxosmm

Now that it is known that heart disease stands first as a cause of death, it is only natural that when

lpain or other symptom occurs in

region of the heart, the individual becomes disturbed and quite right- ly consult his physician. Because the heart is the most important organ front the life and death standpoint. there are many mis- taken notlons, myths in fact, of which physicians are trying to tell their patients with more or less success. Thus in the book "You and Your Heart" edited by Dr. H. M. Marvin and associates Drs. T. Duckett Jones, Irving II. Page, Irving S. Wright, David D. Rats- tein with a forward by Dr. Paul D. White, some common fallacies about heart disease are described. Some of these fallacies or mis- taken ideas are:

1. Heart disease is always in- curable. Ceriain heart diseases are curable and by following the physician's advice, a life span of 30 or 40 more years is possible.

2. Heart disease is hereditary and so nothing can be done. There may be a family tendency to heart disco but this may be from famil habits-neglect of infec- tions, not resting during or after an ailment.

3. Heart disease is a result of our hectic civilization. Notwith- standing our emotional strains. the life span had been lengthened from 48 to 67 in the last 50 years.

4. Heart disease is usually brought on by high living. This is a misinterpretation of the fact thst once heart disease has been ac- quired, exccssesarefo be avoided Before the effect of overliidulgence --Wl'lEill9l' in food. drink, tobacco. or nightlife-cn heart disease was discovered, it was natural to blame the ovcrindulgcnce for the disease. So far as can be deier- niined, heart disease comes first overindulgence merely worsens

5. The hearl. is a very delicate organ. The heart. in fact, is a tough organ. It is chiefly muscle so that exercise makes it extreme- ly tough. From months before birth. the heart continues its rhythmic movements. never relax- ing. except for a second at a time so that the heart normally is as strong at fifty as at twenty.

6. Strenuous exercise damages the heart, especially after the first flush of youth. There is no need for strenuous exercise as we get older but regular exercise, such as walking, keeps the heart strong and circulation active.

'l.Paln over heart is a sure sign of heart disease. Such pain is far more likely to a sign of ex- cesslve sin (gas) and muscular spasm in the digestive tract.

The above are only a few of the

misconceptions regarding t h e heart and heart disease. Why worry about your heart? One

visit to your physician will us- ually tell the true story.

Even dampness can be given to table linen when sprinkling it by dipping half the cloth into boning water. wringing as dry as possible, and folding the wet side onto the dry side. Roll, then wrap in a towel for several hours.

Brolllng Meat

Before brolling steaks or chops. slit the fat around the edges, and this will cause the meat to lie flat on the rack. This is ti good procedure to follow with the breakfast bacon too, if you want flat slices.

sprinkling Clothes

To dampen sprinkled clothes evenly. they should be folded ru- ther than rolled. and wrapped in oiled skin or I rubber sheet.

DOROTHY DIX SAYS- A

Forbearing Wife

Pafienf Wife Of Philanderer Hes Reached End Of Rope

DEAR. MISS DIX: Since the beginning of my marriage twenty yearn ago, my husband has been involved with other women For the sake of my daughter. I have held the marriage together, but now she is grown and about to begin a life of her own. I wonder if it was

. - the right thing for me to do. Here I am in my early forties with nothing to look forward to. I have lots of friends, and a family. but are they enough? I have a little money of my own, so am not completely dependent on my husband. We have always avoided arguments, for our daughter's sake, but it's been years since we've made an out- side appearance together. I know there's no hope for anything better in my marriage, and wonder' if it wouldn't be better to give my hus- - -. band the divorce he wants so that I will at least find a little happiness in peace of mind. Or should I go on being his housekeeper?

MARTE

ANSWER: You've done a valiant job of keeping a home to- gether for your daughter, and, now that she is safely launched I think you can write "flnis" to the episode. Peace of mind may be all you'll have in life from now on, but that is no small thing. It is. in fact. the most important thing we can possess and without it no material wealth can mean anything. MAKE A NEW LIFE

When you are on your own again. making a new life with your family. friends and hobbies. your conscience will be at ease, your heart free from the humlliatlons heaped upon it by a philandering husband and you will truly have peace of mind. Fill your time with work for others-especially women in situations similar to yours who do not have your financial advantages. With the counsel you can give from a heart also scarred by a loveless marriage. give them the cournge to handle their affairs with the wisdom you hate shown. Children of broken home: could also use your help, and by caring for these unfortunates, you will soon heal the hunt in your own heart.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a very difficult problem with my father. I have no mother to give me advice. When I have boy friends call. my father ordt-rs them uwny and will not let me enter- tain them. He won't let me go any place where I'll meet boys so I have to sneak out with my girl friends who can have dates. 1 nm 15. My rs-lzitivcs find friends have tried to convince him that he is wrong but it doesn't do any good. i P. O. S.

ANSWER: if you think you have a problem with your father. remember he feels he has quite a problem in you! The father of a mothcrless daughter has it hard lime filling the role of two parents. Furthermore, to him you tire still a child, though I'm sure you can. sldcr yourself quite grown-up.

y l-ztthers have it hiird time accepting the f'act'lhat their little girls become young lntiics overnight and you must have patience until Dad realizes you nro old enough to be out of the nursery. At 13 )ou ware old enough to go to school dances or plays with boys, and be home at fill early hour. Hotrever. if your father does not agree with this viewpoint, )Oil have no choice but to hide your time until he secs things tliffereiitly. .

Above all. stop sncaking out with girl friends on any occasion. If you value your reputation. be honorable and honest. though the rules you must obey st-em severe and unfair. Your father is only looking out for your welfare and is tryingzto do t'h 1 ' b..- . Don't judge him too harshly. V 8 ls (J for Mm"

she had not said it sweetly either. because she Wll so angry that her checks were pink and her eyes fleshed. Landon choked down his anger without accusing her of be- ing in love with that "wager fel- low,” as Teddy Banks had called ark, but. none the less. he knew a e was, and he vowed vengeance -not on her, but on the man. He had been in this state of mind when Teddy broke in on him with his shocking revelation. Laiidon felt like shouting; it was I fearful thing to introduce him, but he could lose no more by that than he had already. He had lost Pam! Very well, then, she would know before the sun set that she had to give up her convict!

Landon, sitting tight in the jumping taxi, laughed bitterly, with a kind of ghoulish Joy. It was not until the vehicle stopped at the door of a dingy brown-stone front, that it occurred to him to be afraid of the consequence - phy- sicelly. He remembe cu suddenly the terrible grip of Mark's hands in the smoking room; but not even that could deter him he was at a white heat.

"The convict!" he thought, "the murderer --making love to her!" Jealousy and something deepe.', it kind of brute fury. carried him up the steps to the door. But he met only disappointment. The landlady herself answered the ring. Mr. Grant had gone -sent his luggage away, paid her and ,left an hour ago or more. Landon lean- ed against the doorpost. white to the lips. It was no part of his plan to lose the triumph of his know- ledge; to beat down the law-break- er!

He stood I long time at the gates, waiting, search- ing the crowd with his eyes. But there was no sign of Mark.
