HENTAL ATTITUDE OI‘ PATIENT WITH CANCER

A few years ago. if a physician tdld a patient that. the symptoms of which he complained were caus- ed by heart disease, the patient be- lieved himself docmed. ‘Today, most of us know that even if we have heart disease. we can live for years if we follow our doctor's advice and “take it. easy."

Even in cases of high blood pree- sure and a vessel carrying blood to the heart muscle being clogged up or broken (coronary lhmmbosisl, it is lmown that with care and rest, diet and exercise, further attacks may not occur and that it they do occur they may not cause death. '\Vhile the words "heart disease" and "coronary thrombosis" still may strike fear in our hearts, it is the word "cancer" that causes great fear and continuous worry, which really is chronic fear.

In the "American Journal of Psy- chiatry," Dr. J. B. Ficarra states that the word "cancer" stirs a tem- pest of mental agony. Because so many cases of cancer are not dis- oovvered until tco late to save life. the family and relatives are told of the cancer, but in most cases the patient is not told although he may suspect the cause of his symptoms.

Btrange as it seems, it is known that the young patient withstands tho hiowledge that he has cancer better than his family and rela- tfvoc; he appears to be able to face his fate better than older patients. In Qlderly patients the sense of im- pending death is ever present. Old people fear it and are more na-vous about it than young adults.

Vvhilc some ailments cause ner- vum symptoms and the patient be- lieves he has heart, kidney or other disease, the majority of patients who really have cancer do not. ‘knngind’ they have cancer. It is oftfin tho non-cartoerous patient wln believec he has cancer.

Woman's Realmf

r Ellen 's Diary

by a Inland Farmer's Wife

Summer came today to Aldcrln. stepping blithely _into the foot- prints that lo lately were left by Spring. Summer will further many spring-time delights. She will red- den the cheeks of the strawberries. for barefoot chlldren "on the hills" to glean; she will fill the hay-lands with blossom and fragrance and the mows with her largess. She will set gayer colors than now to bloom in the gardens and encourage new wings that are hesitant ln initial flights.

c - o

She will grant young folks like Jamie and older, the joy of a holi- day and altogether make many n dream come true, before with a nod of farewell, she too will go on her way. And what shall this Summer bring to us here? Long lovely days, mostly duty filled we suppose hut then sunny and show- ery and pleasant and scented with roses and clovcrs, And one day there shall conte to us - - - but that is a secret about which grand- daughter smiles and is a bit mys- terious and makes titillating plans in whispers.

c a

We-“she and I saw this first night of Summer slip into a vallev. dropping down the friendly shelter- ing dark ovor every quiet farm- stead and making dim lines of the hills. We were up at the other farm then. having come there with the farmers, who must. collect heri- ding-straw to be used in an immedi- ate project of theirs.

c c o

And while they loaded it to the truck. with primitive urge we must gather ends of kindling that seem to collect from nowhere, but which abound about a vacant place - - - and watch the dusk creep in. "There's not one body lives here now", she commented as she work- ed busily gathering kindles "for mother", "hut: one time they did!" And we fancied the wind was lone- ly for its aln folk. as faintly it stir- red the leaves of the fine old trees in the yard and went on to caress those in the orchard, gnarled and aged and planted by now-stilled hands. A vacant farmstead is a desolate spot and moving about there, where for generations dwelt its own people, we felt. we walked on consecrated ground. Surely a home that has known birth and marriage and good living and death ls above everywhere, a hallowed spot!

I I O

Night moved in, at first touching tho for fields dimly and enfcldlng the trees on the hills. Presently like stars appearing in-the twilight cf nights, lights twinkled out from the farm-houses-from Rob's over the fields and the neighboring ones. "Jamie and the Gage-baby will be going to bed now,” grand- daughter remarked as arms laden We made our way to the machine. "Yes", I replied. Karolyn would he hearing prayers and tucking her small ones in. Picking up garments left in the wake of it as would the mothers of other youngsters in the neighborhood. And come then to kitchen or living-room to sew on a missing button or mend a rent against the morning; to read now or just to chat with the farmer, in at end of day - - - and to make plans for the rnorrow to come. Softly the night. held us, and sil- ently. "There now", James said out of the dlmnesa. "that's enough for this time!" and coon car-lights pointing out our way. we were homing.

I O O

Today our farmers were busy ex- tending sites to have the work of caring for the swine more conveni- ent than It has been, These are the weanllngs, turning each day under the younger farmer's care to maturity. "About fifty pounds". we ventured a guess today looking into a. pen. "Fifty", he replied, "why nearly a month ago, that one there was slxty—we haven't. weigh- ed any since." It is puzzling to know how among n number, they recognize “that one there" with ease. Scws in Interesting stages are ln the paddock. where also the father of the turkey family, a lordly fellow struts proudly and challenges our approach when we come to the elevated quarters there. now tenanted by a hen and her poults.

I O

t There were radishcs from the garden for grand-daughtwfl fancy today, and in the field two garden- ers-—James and Jennie-set out. plants in the wake of last night's refreshing raln, and there too car- rots ‘and beefs were sown for Wln- ter vegetables. "Rather cool this." James remarks closing c door against the night, and hanging up cap and jacket, "for the first nlght of Summer-or perhaps it only seems so, after the spell of heat. we had."

A Country Garden

By Mrl. Gurdon Macmillan

._.._.

A blessed rain hu come tc the garden after the days of intense heat which withered the plants in flower and brought many 11100111! to others a bit earlier than ‘usual according to my garden diaries. The Austrian yellow rose. the hardy single rose with beautiful foliage. and the Hybrid Rugosa F. J. Grootendoris are now in bloom and with the coppery frfllfflnt Agnee make you think that Sum- mer in the garden is here.

Pink Peonies are also fragrant and lovely and. of course the old fashioned red comes very early and is always welcomed. l’ have many shades of crimson planted with a background of evergreen hedge, among the best are Felix Crousse, Victor Hugo. Berlioz and L. Ecletante. These do not require staking and have strong straight stems suitable for cutting.

o c c

Solange. is a white. one of the

most beautiful pconies in exis- tence. It is a strong grower in my

garden and prolongs the peony season by blooming late. Le Cygno, creamy white with

the highest rating of any peony has a very large bloom. Festiva maxima is the earliest white with crimson markings. Mme. Jules Elie ls a beautiful silvery pink and as a cut flower is long last- ing with Madame Calot and Reine Hortense these three Pinks make a beautiful peony garden.

I O I From a package of orientale poppy seed sown several years

ago I now have many large scat"- let and salmon poppies in bloom. One beautiful crimson with tall strong stems is far superior to the others and has been good with me many years.

I think I must send for seed of some of the newer varieties as they come in lovely new colors and they are easy to grow from seed. The old fashioned honey- suckle vine with the grand frag- rance is blooming on the south of the house completely covering the trellis. I am especially proud of this as I slipped it from an old vine, but I am not sure of the name.

Sweet William is showing color and will continue for weeks if the weather is at all favorable. I have quantities in the mixed colors grown from seed saved from pre- vious years but for the most beautiful effect grow the Newport Pink a beautiful salmon color. and the white, which is largo enough to be taken for perennial phlox. Then there is scarlet beauty, a beautiful bright color. these sep- arate colors can be used in many ways in the garden with wonder- ful effect.

O O Sweet William is lovely with Delphinlum and white lilies. Lu- pines have been grand for days. I have been growing the Russel Lupine: which come in so many varieties, self colors and bicolors. I like the soft pink and cream also the buff shades. Their spine- like blooms add to the beauty of the garden and now last much longer. They are easily grown from seed. The shrub clematis has creamy white fragrant blooms. good for cutting and the foliage is fine and green. This ls most. important in c perennial border because the flowers last such n short time. Annuals are beginning to bloom. I enjoy the fragrant stocks and they are earlier this yeah Thalictrum with its soft feath- ery bloom and good foliage like the columbine is now at its best, the evergreen hedges are perfect. and are ready for pruning. Some of them have been done. With the mowing, the weeding of the seed- lings and the tying up of the Sweet Peas and vines it. is a busy time in the garden. Hardy border car-nations in many colors are now fragrant and lovely on slen- der stems, they are grand for bou- quets and are easily grown from seed. This is the time of year_in the garden when every morning there is something new and inter- esting to see, and whenever I leave the garden I seem to miss some of my most interesting visi- tors. the lady from Holland, who wished she could speak more English in talking of the garden. perhaps the daughter she is vis- iting will bring her again and the. lady from Salt Lake City I missed last night. I learn eo much from them all from many homes and gardens. "Soon will the high midsummer pomps come on. Soon will the musk break and swell. Soon shall we have gold-dusted snapdragon

Sweet William with his cottage smell.

And stocks in fragrant blow:

Roses that down the alley! i111"! afar,

And open, jasmine-muffled lattices

And group! under the dreaming garden trccl.

And the full moon, and the white evening star."

DOROTHY DIX SAYS-

Wealth Or Love

Young Man's Love More Than Offsets Old Man's Money

DEAR MISS DIX: Please advise me. A wealthy man ls madly in love with rue. He is burdened by a wife and four small children whom he has ceased to love. He could give me all the luxuries a woman craves." I dearly love n poor but hard-working man and it. will be years before he could give me anything more than a living. What lhall I do? E.

o" - ANSWER: If you want to be happy, marry your poor sweetheart and saveoyour heart and your soul.

Unless you are as hard as a rock and are utterly lacking in conscience you will never find any content- ment in a home, no matter if it is a palace. that you have built on the ruins of another woman's home. l have seen many women try it, but I have never yet seen one who was sitting pretty in a house that the knew belonged by rights to a sister woman.

Always the woman is thinking of that other woman ‘ of whom her husband wearied and wondering if he will forsake her some day for a ydunger and fresher face. Always chc 1s thinking that he abandoned the children he had brought into the world and wondering if he would turn his back on her children as casually as if they were so many alley cats.

Of course I can understand how alluring to a poor girl are fine clothes, a fine car and a fine house and idleness. The things she has always wanted and has never had. She thinks it would be perfect bliss not to have to get up in the morning an punch a time clock in a store or office. Not to have to stand behind a counter or pound a type- writer. Above all, to be able to buy imported finery instead of selling it.

HOW LITTLE MONEY BUYS f

- .

But did you ever think. my dear. how little money really buys? After you have filled your stomach with food and put a pretty dress on your back and ridden until you are tired in a car, what will money buy you that you want? You can be as lonesome ln a palace as you can in a hall bedroom if you have no congenial person with whom to spend the time. You can he as bored by a rich old man as you could he by n poor one. Your heart can ache for love under silk as clesolately as it could under cotton.

Believe me. my child, a bungalow or a two-by-four flat that you share with the man. you love will have far more happiness in it than a mansion on the avenue where you cpend your evenings yawning in the face of a sugar papa for whom you care nothing, under whose touch you shiver instead of thrill and who represents nothing to you but the price at which you sold yourself.

For better send the old man back to hll wife and children and marry the young one who cannot give you luxuries, but. can give you the most priceless ‘thing in the world-love. '

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a friend, a bachelor of 45. who was an illegitimate child and who says that he will never marry so that when he is dead the stigma upon his name will be eliminated. He quotes: "The lnlqultles of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." What ls your opinion of the position of the illegitimate in the sight of God and the eyes of the world?

/ . GEORGE

ANSWER: I think that, God must lock down with a particularly pitying tenderness on illegitimate children. because they are made to suffer so cruelly for a sin they did not. commit. and I consider that there is nothing more inhuman and nothing of which we should be co heartily ashamed as the attitude that we miserable, weak, errlng mortals, guilty of so many wrongs ourselves, take toward these unfortunates.

Certainly lack of charity and kindness can go no further than making a poor little innocent child pay the price of its mother's frailty and pul- tinit upon it a stigma that follows it through life. but fortunately wt. are getting more tolerant and broad-minded and (he bar sinister-la not the shame now that it used to be. In some States layvs have been enact- ed that give an illegitimate child the right to share in his father's es- tate. And the children of unmarried mothers are not the outcasts that. they once were,

I think that your friend takes the status of his birth too seriously. and that the fact that he has made a fine man of himself is of much more Importance than if he had had a regular father.

DEAR MISS DIX: I married a man I worshipped. but the more 1 loved hlm the colder he became. My devotion made hlm think that he must be a very demon with the fair sex and he became a philandere: and finally left me. Now I am married to a man of whom 1 am merely fond and he worshlps me. Time has taught me that tl.: vtcy to keep a husband is not by spoiling hlm and loving hlm too much, for no man can hear a woman's worship without a growing sense of independence and indifference.
