"This is e nice eveninl l" I stroll. Ellen." Jamel suggests cam- ing in now at the end of chorlng. which closes his week of work. Night is drifting in from the hill- tops, advancing surely and quietly to enfold the countryside. And the sky that was lately agiow with the sunset shades holds odd stars now. and a crescent of new moon as well.

So that all in all there is indeed much to tempt one to come stroll- ing with James this lovely evening —the very last one that April can bring. We recall above all the priv- ilege we enjoy in being able to ac- company him, a state of health de- nied to many a one, who has round- ed the turn of the years. \Ve think now as we must many a time of the many who are ill and confined to bed and those also who must spend their waking hours, for the most part, confined to invalids’ chairs. Only in spirit may those folk ever again walk beneath the glory of the stars, the wind soft on their faces, along the trails they once knew and often it is only from windows they are aware of the delights the several seasons in turn spread over the land. They may not as we, lake a small one's warm hand in theirs to gather the ducks in of a dusk or to come at will to many a duty, sometimes mon- otonous in routine and yet in con-

sideration, always most delightful. » - a

Mixed Marriages Differences In Background, Religion i“ Cun Cause Couples Heartache:

I believe most firmly dlhipl are concerned. but with marri- ls most important that husbands end wives should have a similar background. For these reasons:

(1) There are likely to be differences of opinion in marriage as to whet constitutes good taste, good manners and good judgment. (2) The mat- ter of in-laws, who are likely to be critical of. or not to understand peo- (3) The person from a less privileged

o! opinion on the rearing of children. from a more privileged background is likely to have a superiority complex.

These are the things that make Cinderella marri-

Right you are, James, in contending that people should marry in their own class, but you have omitted the greatest danger of all that threatens a mixed marriage, and that is religion. For it is strange, but true, that the thing which closest together and make them more

each other is the fought. and that breaks up more families

hlnk that nothing matters except that they thrill at each other’s touch, and they never doubt but that they will But the cold, hard fact is that when they settle down to everyday life, the thing that is vitally important is for them to have the same tastes and habits.

BASIC TRUTH Irvin Cobb once said that the Civil War wasn't fought over slavery. It was fought over the issue of hot bread versus cold bread. And silly as that sounds, it is a basic truth. The successful marriages are those in which husbands and wives worship the same God, vote the same tic- ket, laugh over the same jokes, like the some cooking, and are proud

No couple should marry until they have okayed their fiances’ grand-

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: AtThat age do you think a boy and girl

ANSWER: Not until they have cut their wisdom teeth on e lot of kids whom they thought tlfiy could not live without, but whom they found out. when it was too late to do them any good, that they couldn't

I think it is a fine thing for boys and girls to grow up together, to go to school together, to play around together, but lt should be en messe, so to speak. They should step out with Tom. Dick and Harry, but not tie themselves down to one girl or boy. That is ruination for the joy of youth, because it makes them a habit to each other instead of a thrill. Aisoyit narrows down their choice of a mate when it comes to the marry- ing time of life, because Sally and Tom have been steadles so long they feel bound to marry each other, no matter if they have lost their taste

George Washington's famous motto: llng alliances with none" is still good. Especially for teen-agers.

H DEAR MISS DIX: My mother-ln-law is very good to me. hut every meshe comes down to stay with the children she always changes my furniture around and puts my things away where I can never find thorn. Also, she tries to run my house.

I have held back my temper as long

ANSWER: Have you ever considered that you irritate other people just as much as they rub your fur the wrong way? All of u; are hard to live with. and if we were wise we would cultivate a taste for gggh other instead o! allowing things to get on our nerves Our only consolation is that w t; 1 h ' as disagreeable about things as theeygearrlen w‘ Omar‘ by being just Ztenfie- runs you crazy by shifting all 9r your furniture. re er age you will be a furniture-shifter yourself, and you will be tell. ing your daughter-ln-law how to run her house.

TBEQTMENT OI‘ BINU! IN- FLAMMATION - BINUBITIB

Most o! u! when we think of ll- nusttis - disturbance or inflam- mation of the lining of the sinuses -—ibeiieve the condition duo to either infection from organisms or to sl- lergy or sensitlveness to various substances. In fact, these are the commonest causes; but. we are gradually flndiing out that other conditions or disturbances can cause both the mild and severe types of sinusitis It now 1s gener- ally known that the milder cases are caused by allergy‘ in which the lining of the nose and sinuses ls pale, and in the sinusitis caused by infection this lining ls red. Because he has seen so many cases of sinusitis In children aind thinks of the suffering and incon- venience that lie ahead if early and effective treatment is not. given, Dr, Vernon de Boissiere, Montreal, in the “Canadian Medical Associa- tion Journal," outlines the causes, and treatment of this common all- mcnt. . i The lining membrane of the nosei is the same as the sinuses, just asi the floor of the hallway is the same as the adjoining rooms in the home. This means that any dis- turbance or infection of the nose may quite naturally extend along the floor or lining to the sinuses. The cause of disturbances or in- fection of the lining of the sinus-es are: (l) Environment, diet. cloth- lng. (2) Allergens —- food, house dust, pollens. clothing, etc. (3) In- faction. (4) Infection lin an indivi- dual who has a tendency to allergy. thus a combination of infection and allergy. t5) Some defect or deform- ity of the nose and sinus.

As we look at the above five causes and see how many things are included -— hcme surroundings. dust, diet. sleep habits and other health habits so often neglected - and also all the substances that can cause allergy and the defects that may be present, we can readily see why the family physician often has to refer his young patients to the nose specialist and the allergist. The two methods of treatment Dr. de Bolsslere has found most successful are: ti) X-ray. t2) Pen- lclllin. In a series of 250 cases these methods have made operation un- necessary.

Rorncmbcr. nose drops. ea pre- scribed by the family physician, give relief in mild cases.

For Sunday. May 8

SUNDAYS horoscope shows a brilliant day for enjoyment. relaxa- tion. social and romantic diversions or festivities. ln connection with such there may be symbols of pro- motion, dignities and honors, with particular emoluments and prefer- ences from those in official power. However there is erratic precipitate or unorthodox conduct or event in which mtuch celebration indulgence smcgenjoy- ment may be regreftuily exagger- ated. Keep the brakes on, in the height cf gayety. Shun accident or cstrangements.

If 1t. Is Your Birthdly

Those whose birthday it ls are on the eve of an exciting and sensa- tional year, in which sudden change, travel, novei_ adventure. beckon to new fields whether of en:- joyment or accomplishment. While pleasure is shown. with promotion. honors, favors from influential sources, yet over-acting in ainy line may exact penalties, not only in profits, opportunities. but dangers of physical nature. falls, accidents or personal estrsngements.

A child born on this day will be ambitious talented and enterprising with m-uch promise, but a tendency to change, experiment new places and faces may narrow its career.
