This was a morning when the leaves of the old birch beyond our bedroom window lay still against the color and beauty of the eastern sky, as still as though they were painted there. And the smoke front the breakfast fire in the house ‘across the lane spiralled lazily into the blue, signalling us too to come to our workadny week. And presently we found it n day foreshadowed by Autumn, which offered moving cloud shadows and alternating sun and shower. But out of n spell of sunshine, just after breakfast, a little girl mov- ed in with us. A small maid with blue cyes and golden hair came to 5111.“- But as she took care to point out "riot to sleep here" and not until we had received last minute instructions ns to her care. u o s

And there has been little complaint from her and no fretting yet ovcr her mother's continued absence. Odd questions put in a mature way, We lust her from sight for n moment and found her presently seated on a verandah in the sun- light then, a small kitten held in her arms-just holding it there. her thoughts apparently far away in a world of her own into which we might not enter. And once we looked in quietly upon her in the B stable with the pups. a favorite black one snuggled closely to her. golden curls mingling with the dark ones. We left her there, for animals are a solace to children when a ionizing comes over them. or when suddenly their world has been disturbed.

At parting, Jeanie remembered many of her small daughter's likesi, and dislikes-"a cookie drink of cocoa at mid-morning. - — Perhaps some day you'll cook new beets for her. she loves them. - - — And an car of corn for her sup- per - - - nnd she likes an npplc sometimes or a raw carrot-I tell» her she's like the rabbits!"

A favorite "Raggedy Ann" clasped beneath her chin. "this poor little dear is lonesome tonight", she explained with n smile hugging it nearer, she was soon in drcamland.

GOUT, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

While most of us have heard about gout. and many have seen cases fortunately gout i; one mm. of rheumatism that is not as fre- quent as other types. The outstand. ing point about gout is that while it is very painful and causes great choose in the joint structure. wher. he attack passes over, the joint returns to normal and there are no Simpwms between the attacks.

As about 9 out of 1O cases of gout are found in men. and lugh livills—mcats and SICOIIOP-IS blam- ed. we might assume that only the wealthy are affected. Gout 15 no respector of persons however. and is found among the poor and the rich. Rasearch workers admit that while alcohol and rich foods may "start" an at-tack of gout. such in- dulgcnces are the match that lights the ﬁre and start the symptoms. The condition that is the real or underlying cause of gout is already present in the body. but just ivnat that condition is. is still unknown although an increased amount of uric acid crystals is found in the urine and the serum or liquid part of the blood.

The ﬁrst pain or twinge in the joint, most often the joint of the. big toe, may occur at any hour of the day or night. In a. few hours this or other joints become very red, swollen. very tender to the touch, in fact so tender that the patient cannot stand the weigh: of the bedsheet. When a ‘real’ infect- ion or inflammation is present in gout. it is indicated by a rise in temperature and an increase in the white corpuscles cf the blood ivhi-ch is Nature's way of ﬁghting infection.

Specialists tn rheumatic diseases state that there 1s a family hlstorv of gout. attacks occur at intervals with no symptoms between attacks. and urates are always present ll‘. Further, if vnc
