Household Hint

Nearly half the housewives in the United States use hard water in the laundry.

Hardness is cause by the pre- sence of minerals in the water. A scum appears in the form of curds when soap is added to hard water. and this scum clings to the clothes and is difficult to wash out.

By using a large amount of soap you can eliminate hard water scum. or use a good water soft- ener. of which there are several in the market. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions when you use the softener.

Tea Council Wants Canadians To Drink More Cups Oi Tea

The "cup that cheers. but does not inebriate" is being given a big boost this week as Tea Council of Canada fires its big guns in an effort to wean more Canadians to the friendly cup of tea.

Commonwealth brothers India and Ceylon are also behind this all-out effort. for both countries are "eager beavers" in their en- deavours to stimulate trade with us. Their feelings of trade. not aid. are welcomed here. as Canadians too. seek to extend their markets in

Wile Wonders lf Man Has Right To Nag Dependants

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Is it right for a man to continually nag persons he loves. supposedly to make them strong and not so sensitive? My husband and I have two children and how they can respect me is beyond my com- piehension.

Bob is very successful in busi- ness. doing the work of three men on his job; and very indus- trious around the house at times. But be continually tells the chil- dren. and me. of my faults. He even tells them what he thinks I think: and he used to call me had names over every incident. I might have gone crazy if he had kept that up. Isn't it possible to be driven mad. even when you have normal sense?

He persists in antagonizing our springer spaniel to an extent that makes me want to call for help: yet I stand by praying that his actions and judgment are right. Our dog isn't mean: he loves children and would love them. I feel, even without the rough treatment Bob gives him.

Her Good Works Cause Arguments

Our elder child doesn't con- centrate much. and the younger boy is antagonistic. although he can be very sweet when he likes. We live in a new community where we must take the initiative to make friends. but my husband feels no need of new friends. and I haven't the strength to enter- tain easily. To plan ahead for ex- pected company gets me all keyed up; and Bob picks inopportune times to nag. a possibility I dread.

We have a large house and an acre of ground; and I am the caretaker, but the chores get ahead of me. I help with various community activities m school. church. scouts and Sunday School. in the mothers' groups e Which causes family arguments. How can we manage a life together

ELLEN'S DIARY

by an Island

"I never thought I should live to see the day when I'd have no hand in splitting the wood" James commented at breakfast today- "lt'a the first. year I've missed helping . . . the very first year. Ellen. I just couldn't seem to find the time for it with so many chores now at the barns. How- ever. It's done-and done well! And it's good to know that we have plenty to see us through an- other year."

"There's a lot of work to it be- fore it's ready for the stove" we offered. "The cutting and hauling and sawing and splitting take a good many days." we poured his tea. added hot to our own . . . So pleasant these breakfasts are. It is as though with no seasonal work pressing at the moment nothing but the choring. we have come to a bit more leisure: time to loiter a little at the meal and afterward. as we do the dishes. for James to catch a few draws on his pipe.

"Perhaps we should burn oil instead" we suggested. He looked his surprise. "With all the wood- land we have!" he said. "No. Ellen" he shook his head, "wood it will be."

They were chatting eager- . ly and we could see happy faces. Yes. they were evidently well pleased with the morning's first gift. g "Next thing we know . . . though

it will be a day or two yet" James said with a chuckle. rising now to take down his pipe from the old mantel, "the fencing will be here."

There were signs of it in the little wind of morning that soft as the gray velvet of the open- ing pussy willows the children now gather. blew down from the hills. In the sunshine of afternoon that old sheen and sparkle was back to the waters of the millpond rc- mlnding us that soon it would be -lime to direct thought toward the spring-cleaning of the rooms.

Civic Interests Good For Soul

You ask: Can this sort of heat- ing cause mental lllness, even in healthy people? The answer is yes. if victims of the beating are intelligent. sensitive and yet too timid. or too tired by circum- stances. to break away in self- dcfense. However, you are sav- ing your sanity by doing good works with civic groups. An in- vcstmcnt of interest in the public welfare is always good medicine for the soul: that is. if you dig

Changes Good Lile Span, Scientist States

"Everybody wants to live a long time and nobody wants to grow old." according to the pro- verb. Thialbelng the first day of spring. when all earth is renewed, I discussed our ”' of keep- ing young and living to a ripe old age with a scientist, Col. J. E. Ash. M. D.. noted pathologist and Director of Laboratories at Subur- ban Hospital in Bethesda. Mary- land.

Birthdays to the contrary. we do not all age at the same rate. The important factors in deter- mining thc rate at which an in- dividual ages, the doctor explain- ed. are not only nutrition. but the state of balance of our nerv- ous and hormonal organs - and our cuvll.l'0nII'lEI1I.

On the nutrition score. the body requires materials for repairing wear and tear on its tissues. z,'d for the up-keep of vital intt-..:al functioning. From this comes the belief that "you are what you eat." However. we are born with our cellular backgrounds. The ab- sorption and utilization of the nutrients are dependent upon our inherited nervous and hormonal systems.

To the question. does science know how long the body is cap- able of lasting without wearing

replied, "Theoretically the body is capable of lasting indefinitely if we could control the support- ing substances. The secret is largely locked up in the chemis- try and physiology of, the sub- stance which hold the body cells together.

averreo. "If all that science has brought to light about the causes of aging were applied. 'we could make marked progress. It is true that man's life expectancy is long- er. Statistics reveal that the life span has been materially extend- ed. At the same time. an in- creasing number of folks are drop- ping oft in the very prime of life." The doctor blamed this seem- ing paradox on the speed-up in our rate of living and other un- favourable environmental factors.

But when the dietitian asked if the last tempo cuts short the prime of life even more than overweight does. the doctor answ- ered. "Probably not. While the thin tense man is particularly af- fected by our modern environ- ment. the lat, placid man's life is jeopardized by the overtaking of his vital organs - especially his heart."

Discounting the inevitableness of heredity. what can we do to stay young and live a long time? The first rule is to avold,ex- ceases. in eating, drinking and smoking. and secondly. to deter- mine and respect our mental and physical capacities so as to avoid stresses. strains and tensions as much as possible.

Will science ever solve the my- stery of aging? "Probably the ans- wer will come when we know the cause of cancer." Dr, Ash concluded ."for then we will come

A guest conductor was driven crazy at rehearsals because at least one member of the orches- tra was always missing. After the last rehearsal he tapped for at- tention and said: "I want to thank the first violinist for being the only man in the orchestra who had the decency to attend every rehearsal."

The first violinist hung his head.

"It seemed the least I could do." he said in an apologetic tone. "You see. I don't expect to show up for the concert tonight."

How can you manage a life with Bob until the children are grown? I suggest: I. By prayer. using Glenn Clark's book "God's Reach" tMacalaster Parkl; or "The Sermon on the Mount" by Emmet Fox (Harper's). 2. With psychological guidance, if neces- sary. as provided by various men- tal hygiene clinics in your area. 3. By confidently knowing that with God's help, you can take care of yourself and the children, if Bob's behaviour becomes in- tolerable. In short. you don't have to put up with him on ugly term, and when he too sees that. he may reform. M.I-I.
