I ie-Swapping

No Happiness For Mon In 50's Who Trades More For New Model

‘DEAR MISS DIX: I good wife. She treats me fine and is everything that a husband could

wish in a wife but she is gettirifl 01d and I have Pick“ m" a “u”! w°' man to marry: The trouble is my wife won't Rive m9 B- dlV°F¢° ""1 I

have no grounds to get one, though I try every way to get something on her.

Can you tell me what home to her?

iq do? Should I just walk off and leave my Or should I tell her I love her just so she won't talk too much? She thinks she knows who the woman is that I have my eye on, but I don't want her to find out for

sure, for fear she will blow her 10P- UNDECIDED HUSBAND

ANSWER; Well, brother. if you take my advice. you \vill not be undecided about your love life. You will stick like a leech to the woman who has stood by you in sickness and in health. in good fortune all lad luck. who has borne your children and toiled like a galley slave to help you pile up the neat little forliineyou possess. _

Believe me. swapping an old wife for a young one is about the most disastrous trade that n man can make, for it almost always ends in spir- itual bankruptcy. Of coursc, that isn't the point of view of a lot of men. especially if they have been successful in business. Along about the time when they get in the 50's they have a brainstorm which 8W9! them the delusion that. they are tircd of their old wives and \vant pretty little girls for playmates, so they pension off Grandma aiid invest in a debu- tante. and expect to be happy ever after. .

WON'T \VORK

But the scheme doesn't work. Youth and age do not amalgamate. They have nothing in common. not a taste, not a habit. not a desire. There is not even anybody to whom they can say: “Do you remember?" Under Heaven there is nobody more pitiful than the elderly man whose girl-wife drags him around. night after night, to parties and night clubs.

And watching your young wife dance with boys of her own age will ‘be your fate, Undecided Husband, if you swap off your old wife for a young one.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Although I am only 17 years of age, I want to get married right now to Bill. but my mother wants me to finish school. Now here is my problem: I am in love with Bill and I want him very much. but he tells me that he doesn't see any sense in our golns together because we argue and fight all the time. But I have been told that when a boy and girl argue all the time it is a sign that they Ire really in love with each other.

I know if the Lord really wants me to have Bill that He will help Bill to realize that we were made for each other.

JUST WONDERING

ANSWER: There is an old tradition that marriages are made in Heaven, but personally I have never seen any indication that the Lord was a matchmaker. In fact. quite the contrary. Nor is the lack of congeniality between two people any sign that they love each other, yet. there are thousands of men and women, who have not a taste nor an

‘ idea nor a principle in common, who marry and live scrappily ever after- wards.

I think Bill has the right idea about breaking off your marriage, Iince you do nothing but fight when you are together.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I want to give you a prescription for curing fleslousy. if you happen to get n green-eyed husband. It is just to give

It is generally admitted that X- ray of the chest is the best single method of finding if tuberculosis or the lungs is present. The great; 5m. veys of whole communities by x_ ray of chests not only has been the means i=1 flndlns cases in which tuberculosis was suspected. but also in finding many cases in whiqh tuberculosis was not suspected

In addition to the X-ray examin- Hll?" 0f the chest. every physician 1113188 o. microscopic examination of the sputum to find the organism causing this disease. Once the or-

no further has tuberculosis. However, it so hBPDBns that the organism, when present, is difficult. to nnd, so that two of the latest methods of search are of interest to us all_

In the "Lancet." London, Drs. G. B, Forbes, B. J. D. Sniiith and J. V. spririgett report their search for the tubercle bacillus by examin- ation of the stomach contents when no food ls present and also by tak- ing a swab from the throat. The search was made in 100 inpatients and 100 outpatients in which the X- ray showed evidence of tubercul- osis, but in which the organism was not found.

While the washing out of the stomach and examining the con- tentg under the microscope gave slightly better results than the swaibbing of the throat in inpat- ients iirom the standpoint of ac- curacy, there was no difference be- tween the proportion of positive re- sults obtained by the two methods in outpatients Patients greatly prefer the swab- bing of the throat to the gastric lavage (washing out the stomach). The throat swab can be taken as part of a. routine examination with- out special attendance or prepara- tion. The laboratory work of exam- ining a throat swab is naturally much sfirnrpler than examination of the stomach contents, \

Thme physicians, while reporting success with these two methods- throai: swab and examination of stomach contents-state that they should not take the place of the

The’ lad of a robin lifted up his song from the trellis and was so absorbed in it he paid no attention to our P5551112 nor to the dogs who herded a saucy squirrel, which grand-daughter said "must have come from somewhere" to laugh and chatter to them. 8nd tease from a safe place atoP "l3 woodplle in the yard. "This l! the right morning!” we observed to James and sped away to see how our fortunes had increased over- night. . .

We must pick up the duck egg that matched the blue of the sky. and signal to James to find out if that expected litter had possibly arrived in the night. We must stoP too to watch the wisp of fog lift from the length of pond to reveal it mirror-like untouched yet by any wandering breeze. Very lovely was our day but of all, blessed by the prevailing quiet, the morning was and is always the most intimate and friendly. And presently. while first smokes lifted, spiralling rosily into the new and unlived day we came to meet James at our old trysting place in the stable! Five cows o‘. present. as the farmers tell it "with that heifer" grace our milking herd and a half dozen calves cry shame to us if we chance to be tardy in offering them their breakfast pails. "Well," we offered picking up the milking stool of Mr. D.’s artistry. "R few nice days like this will bring the grass!" "And the fencing too". James replied. "and the potato-grad- ing-just think, Ellen, of the heap of work at that, and a hundred oth- er jobs, but no matter what comes or goes we must get that bridge re- paired and made safe today."

So this afternoon, when the sun lengthened its shadows, and its brilliance was reflected in xlints on the pond the farmers took up this new chore. They were joined later by Mr. C. and the young lad from the house on the hill and timbers that had liven away in the foundation were replaced and the structure made safe in temporary repairs which James is sure "will do until after the cropping." Jeanie and grand-daughter were interested onlookers for awhile though com- bining this with another pastime which yielded them fresh trout for supper, and doubtless at the mo“ ment is-bringing a deep and re- freshing sleep to our small one, be- cause of her spell in the open.

"There was one thing that wouldn't recommend him to me." James comments now to Mr. C. of a. recent applicant as farm helper, "not that I'm against a fellow smok- lng, but I am definitely against it out about the buildings, and I should be afraid to hire him on that account." "Yes," Mr. C. agrees, "I didn't like the look o_f his fingers!“ James laughs whlmsically. “I'm thinking they come now with dif- ferent recommendations than they used to have. I mind hearing about the boy from across the river, who went to the States, a young lad in the long ago to look for work. They didn't have too muchjn their poc- kets then for more often than not their fare would be borrowed. and he would he desperately in need of employment. Well, he went look- ing for a job soon and found him- self one of a number of applicants waiting in an office, for the boss to appear. I suspect this poor ls- land lad thought his chances were slirn among so‘ma'nyl" I

"And what then?" Mr. C. hastens the story, smiling. "The boss of the place came out and looked them over, and asked a question." Wes?’ queries Mr. C.. interested in this matter of employment. "Ha asked ‘What is the chief end of man?’ And hurrah for that Scot- tish boy, brought up on his ont- meal, and his Grace before meat - - - and often after it. and his Catechism!" I exclaim, taken up with-the story. "Sure." James chuckles, "he knew the answer and got-and better still, kept the joh. and prospered." "And the chief end of man this day at Alderlea?" I ask. “That seems to have been mainly in getting the bridge re- paired," James answers after duo consideration. Which like all or any of ones hands. if one but wills

Illow Well ilo You " Know Your Island ‘l

By Unoh n»;

The Ttrst jail in the Island was located on Pownal Square. It was a onestorey building about 40x20 The first market building stood on the site now occupied by the Royal Bank of Canada.

From 1864 to 1867 ships to the value of 9.000.000 were built in this Province. In this period more than half our imports were from the United Kingdom. In 1866 near- ly 51.000000 worth of various pro- ducts were brought to P. E. I. in our own vessels. From the U.S.A. we purchased around $330,000 worth.

Only one issue of the many is- sues oi.’ copper coin used in our Province prior to Confederation had the sanction of the govern- ment. In other words, counterfeit coin, like the old Island cents and half pence, hearing such inscrip- tions as "Speed the Plough", "Suc- cess to the Fisheries". "Self-Govern- ment." etc., were all imported by private individuals and passed off as the real McCoy. The coin rep- resenting real money bore in relief a small oak tree under a large one, with the Latin inscription, "Parva sub inegente." The large oak rep- resented England, the small one Prince Edward Island.

Our oysters. especially those found in Malpeque Bay, are ac- claimed to be the best in the world. Our greatest export of fish is the lobster which are caught and can- ned all around the Province and shipped to the large markets in Canada and the United States. Some authorities say our methods of fishing are not up to standard. that the industry is capable of greater expansion.

The first P. E. I. Judge of the Dominion Supreme Court was Sir Louis H, Davies. He was one of the most iminent Jurist: of his day. Sir William MacDonald, Canada's great educational benefactor, was born in this Province.
