I think that if women are called upon to write the new divorce law, its first provision will be that any wife is entitled to a divorce who can prove that hcr husband ii- a groueh and a gloom. who acts as a curt of human frigidaire who keeps the home temperature down to

The great, silent man who never speaks except to find fault. who never utters a pleasant word, and at the sound of whose footsteps the children's prattle ls hushed and the eat scoots for the cellar, will be

definitely on his way out.

For there isn't a. woman in the world who

wouldn't rather be married to a wife-beater, who gave her a physical

thrashing now and then and who is pleasant and

companionable in

between times. than to a perfect gentleman who is a grouch.

Jame: had laid yesterday "If Link should happen to come whll: were away Ellen, you can tell him WhlCh pigs to take. Come on out. uiitfv I show you the ones we want. tc keep." And so with Jamie and Pard following, we had gone with certain determination after Jame: to the piggery. Ther: they were, the number of piglets of the early litter, playing a child's game in n. corner of the pen hiie their niotlier ate noisily at. her trough. Odd times one came to dip a. nose down beside hers, and other: left off Plaﬂllg to visita trough of their own in the next pen. The small ones looked much alike to nie ,and yet. when James pointed out some peculiarities it was no trouble at all to see the difference. If l could only recall them at. the r.ght moment: "See that one. E1- len. that biggest one ——we don't want to part with that one" James said “and that one over there with the furl in its back; and the one here with the two curls —-like in its tail ttliat oiie's a lot like the old gralld-lliOLhH‘) and that light.- ish-cycd oiie—that.'s another we llﬂ\[' decided to keep-of this lit- ter. Now do you know them from the others? I checked them over. Jamie perched on the top of the pen beside me. “Now he l: wei- conie to any of the rest, and they're as good as he can pick up anywhere for their age." And sat- tstied on every s;ore we came a- way. And presently James had gone to his work at the other farm.

l “Elizabet Singing

hAnd the bl Rabbit”

(Courtesy of The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)

Eli/aiictli didn't play with dolls‘ like other little girls. She didn't; have any. But she did have many,‘ stranzc and wonderful friends that‘ i110?‘ children don't have. _ | lLizabeth lived at the edge of_ the Forest, evcr-sa-far North in‘ the Laurentian mountains. A little brown road had separated itself from the highway some miles back and. ambled on and on, until it came to the Great Pinetree. That was where Elizabeth lived with her mother and father and a big brother.

It was very strange how Eliza-

beth had met the Rabbit. She had seen a great many rabbits liere and there hut. one day siie was walking down the road and. because it was spring, she was singing. Now Elizabeth knew a iiumbar of songs but she much pre- ferred to sin’: just whatever pop- ped into ber mind. So, on that particular day she was walking a-. long and singing: ‘It. is spring and the sky is blue—O. Arid I am : Fairy Queen~0l Hlddlely-ho! Hi-diddleiy-hoi _

And-when she came to the ‘Hi-

diddlely-ho’ part. of the song; Elizabeth twirled around on one] foot and lumped into the air.l like a ballet dancer just for thel

fun of it. she suddenly heard a‘ little voice saying; l _ "You are not singing very ivell. you kno\v.-riot at all vivcil, inl Ja-ct.“ And there, sitting on a rock! at the side of .the road. was a» big brown rind while rntiblt. l

"How do you know that I am| not singing well?" Elizabeth as)‘. ‘ed him.

"Btffﬁllt" You don't sound like l do when I sing; and I sing very l well," the rabbit answered, wigg-l ling his ears to give emphasis to his words.

“How nice!" Elizabeth comment.- ed politely. “Would you sing for me? It is a lovely day to sing."

"Certainly I'll sing-I was g9.

Elizabeth clapped loudly and said that she thought. lie sang very well, indeed. The brown and white rabbit bowed low and flopped his long ears over his nose. in acknow- ledgment bf her applause.

All that happened last spring and Elizabeth went often to sit: under tire Great Pinetrce. where the Rabbit would come and sing to her. so they became very good friends. '

But now it was Autumn and the coloured leaves covered the ground. Any night now the snow might come and in the morn- ing, l-Jiizabeth would wake up to a white world all about their little house; and the footprints of the Singing Rabbit would be plainly seen under the Great Pinctree.

It. was cold today. Elizabeth pulled on lier red woolen cap and fastened her coat. before she step- ped outside. Her father had told her not. to go into the Forest be- cause it was the hunting season. and it was dangerous to wander through the woods at this time of the year. He had also said that. only a few nights ago. he had heard the howling of the wolves and that they might attack her, if they found her in the Forest.

But as she walked along. Eliza- beth met her friend, the Chip- munk, who told her that he knew where there were some wonderful nuts just inside the Forest. Chip- munk was looking very fit. His ied-bvovvn fur back with the dark stripes from head to tail looked as smart as a new suit. and as always. he was clean and neat.

izabeth ilaid that she hadn't. seen Chipmunk for n long Lime.

"I have been quite busy this

summer," he told her. "I have been digging a house underneath the big rock and laying in supplies for the winter. But I'll be able w rest soon; the winter will soon b: here and I can have a long slew."

That Body of Yours‘ l! Jam w. an» u. n. l ‘TREATMENT or Annmrru -‘

It seems strange that. arthritis- nheumatism of the joints-which l: the oldest and comirnoneat. dispase of man is only during the past few years being treated in a complete or all-round manner.

Some 3o or 40 years ago when it was discovered that most. cases of arthritis were caused by infected teeth and tonsils and that acetyi salicylic acid (aspirin! would re- lieve the pain, many physicians felt that removing infection and giving aspirin was the complete method of treating arthritis.

Because arthritis cripples so many otherwise healthy inrn and women throughout the ontlra world —particu.larly lll the United States and Gr at. Britain -_ arthritis clinics at: being established. usu- ally in connection with some hos- pital. It should be interestng to the arthrtie patient, his family and the public generally to learn how the RllhffllC is brought buck to his full working capacity or at least. able to car-ii a, living by the coin- plcte tor alhrouiid treatment. given by a well equipped arthritis cll-lic.

In the Arthritis Dlvison of the Orthopedc Clinic of Cook County Hospital, Chicago. as described by Drs. Daniel ll. Levintitial, Cathar- ie L. Logan, Kate ll. Kohn and William I. Fishbein, the procedure is as follows: Th: patient i-s met by a physician and secretary. and tells the whole history of his case— whether the disease is active or quiet at pic-sent, whether attack: of pahi ccme and go and for what periods of time. whether or not any infection iteetili, tonsils. gums, sin- uses, gall bladder) ls present.

The menial, physical and cnio- ilcnal condition as told by the pat- ient himself is noted. The patient then is lransferrrd in another phy- sician who gives him a complete p-hyisI-cal examination. Next follows laboratory tests-blood. urine, clotting time of blood, ability of liver lo gel rid of harmful suh-. stances in hie blood. metabolism‘ rate irate at which body processes. worki. The patient i; than put in: t-he class of arLu-ltis to which he belongs and treatment begins.

The orthopedic treatment afms at correcting faulty body mechanics li-i feet, knees. neck, low back and use of heat. electricity and mas- sage. Corrective braces and splints are applied, and the patient is en- couraged to use his joints as muah as possible. A full diet is given the patient-reduced diet for over- weights-and his home i-s visltrd regularly by social service workers to keep hvm contented during the month: required for treatment.
