; ELI.Ell'S DIARY

- By An Island Farmer: Wife -39st-cot-oo-trot-noon-a

Today found our farmers keep- ing their work within certain bounds. In 9. leisurely, resigned way widely removed from the bus- tle of their ordinary round. There was no planning of "Well we can get that done first, and then we'll do thus and so next, and if we have any time over than we had better clean out the pens and bed those hogs”. in an cndless chain of duty which can keep them em- ployed from the time that morning smokes issue until the evening sets her stars in the sky. Oh no. this morning it was unhurrlecl. "Do you think we'll have time to stick up that bit of fence at the other farm -that shouldn't take us too long?"

. . .

A farm sale was in the offing. Not that there have been no ex- cursions from the farm in recent weeks, so taken up with the affairs of the seeditime. There have been those which replenished the farm needs of the season and the more

colorful ones-for them, which brought heads of new stock to the place. There must be re- placements for the fat. animals

that "all on a Summer's day" will be taken away from their grazing back cn the hillside . . . Empty stables indeed we have at present with only the younger calves to greet onels entrance and the swift beat of startled swallowis wings and at times the winds lonely sighing, when we come there to search for stolen inests of eggs', now that the horses too have been let to their pasturing. . .. .

And at the moment the farmers have come to a mid-season lull. which in the absence of any re- pairing or building project allows for more leisurely planning. Mean- while, thcy await the hoclng, the lillllng and. scuffling of the patch of potatoes. and in time, the hay- ing. The former we can appreciate, is often in James” mind-pa.rti- cularly after an outing that has taken him past fields which dis- play glimpses o'f a more ambitious farm-wife! Then does he remem- ber one of our many sliort-com- ings. He talked of the impending task this mcrning at breakfast. "We've got a lot of weeding to do this year, Ellen. Oh, no more than usual. Guess perhaps "with ii long sigh" we will have close to four acres cf it. "And we smiled be-

hind the teapot to recall that James' measuring-steps are in- clined to be generous and final

reckonings after he Willows" could add something more to his total. . . . .

Then after a pause (so cosy we are-the two of us at breakfastli, llIt's a queer thing, Ellen that you never learned to hoe?" It was like- ly then that James was looking back through the years to con- sider that perhaps after all he could have chosen a wife more wisely if as he will say. he "had Just. looked around mcre! "But if that be true that "Love laughs at lock- smiths'. it. is also gospel that in the springtime of life neither sex pauses long enough to think of the

working possibilities of the other. Oh no, the assurance of this, though sometimes misleading, is found in the sheen of the love- light in the mirror of eyes. "Mar- ry him'. we recall fl lass of our younger years confidlrig, "certain- ly I'll marry him. No he hasn't a

steady job. but he's got the cutest smile-and we'll get alongl" And a Providence that tempera the

winds found another favor that must needs granting. , , To those who know him bes James too has an appealing smile, and an irreslstable pleading in his voice . . .we doubt that any sort of Adam down since Eden has been better gifted in this way. "I bet Ellen, if you just put. your mind to it you could learn to hoe!” he commented, smiling to us, which is contrary to "But you couldn't

True Success story

By P. H. MacArthur

If you are one of those who fancy that I man or woman can never reach the pinacle of success unless they have pull. a college education, or financial backing read right here and now the story of Benjamin Franklin, who, en. tlrely by his own efforts. became a noted scientist, author, states- man, etc.

Born at Boston in 1706. of poor and humble parents, he was ap- prenticed to the printer's trade. After I long and busy day young Franklin found opportunity to get in a lot of reading and to write secretly some articles in prose and poetry for the New England Cour- zer. They were well received but when his brother learned of their authorship he became so jealous that Franklin was roundly scolded for his presumption and treated with great harsiincss. , This led to Benjaminls quitting his job and, at the age of seven- teen the boy started for Philadel- phia. where he landed work as a compositor. There he came to the notice of Sir William Keith, the Governor of that state, who in- duced him to go to England for the purpose of buying types to establish himself in business.

O O 0

After a residence of one and a half years in London Ben return- ed to the Quaker City, where he interested a certain party in print- ing a newspaper which was named the Pennsylvanian Gazette. The venture proved a success right from the start and the once poor boy was now going places.

But Franklin did not stop here. By his exertions a public library. improved systems of education, a scheme of insurance and other philanlrophies were established in Philadelphia. In 1782 he began his poor Richard's Almanac, which was issued in 1757. winning for him I wide reputation as a phil- osopher and wit.

During a visi: to Boston in 1746 he saw, for the first time, some electrical experiments which led liim into doing some research work in this field, resulted in the ill- veniion of the lightning conduct-

r.

His first venture into politics was when he became a member of the Provincial Assembly of Penn- sylvania. ln 1757 he went to Eng- land as the agent of the province and was also soon appointed agent of the provinces of Maryland, Georgia and Massachusetts.

From then on Franklin rose in the world with the speed of a flashing meteor. Oxford and Edin- borough conferred on him their highest academic degrees, and the Royal Society elected him a fel- low.

Back in the U.S.A. he was again appointed agent in 1764 and took to the Old Country a protest against taxing the infant colon- ies. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and in 1774 presented to the king the petition of the first Am- erican Congress, without succes. Upon returning to his own coun- try he was elected member of Congress. His government next sent him to France as Minister of Purchases to obtain supplies for that Court, and he had the honor of concluding with France the first treaty of the U. S.A. with a for- eign power (1788).

He was subsequently named one of the Commissioners for negot- iating the peace with England. On his return to his native country he filled the office of Governor of Pennsylvania. served as I deleg- ate to the Federal Convention in 1787. approved the Constitution and did much to secure its ratification. His writings include an unfinish- ed autobiography and a great number of political, anti-slavery, financial, economic and scientific papers - truly an astonishing rec- ord for any one man to chalk up in a lifetime.

Overplaying Han

Expensively-Dressed Girl Can Frighfen Off Prospective Mate

DEAR MISS DIX: My mother gave me a very lmillil dllmond ring, which I wear with pride and pleasure. My aunt: and cousins tell me the reason 1 have no boy friends is because of this ring and that I am spoiling my chances of marriage by wearing it. They any I frighten the boys off by it and that no Young man would marry a girl who were such an expensive piece of jewelry. He would think he could never support her. Are they right in their viewpoint?

EMMA MAY

ANSWER: I don't know whether a diamond ring could hcodoo a girl's chances of marriage. but 1 have known many a girlf to lose out on setting 8 800d hllle band by dressing too well. nothing is more common than the pitiful trltfedy N151 W3

In fact. . see enacted over and over again in which a girl does the thing to

attract. is man that drives him farthest from her. She is pretty and she want: to make a hit with some young chap with whom lhe has fallen in love. She knows that. fine feathers make fine birds, and that even a living picture is enhanced in attractiveness by a gorgeous frame. So she goes in debt for the expensive clothes that will add to her beauty and that she feels sure will capture her man.

WANTS THRIFTY WIFE

But it doesn't. lt scares him stiff. He thinks that she isn't lhe kind of woman that he wants for a wife. He wants a help-meet, a woman who will be willing to work and pinch pennies while he is getting a start in the world. He doesn't intend to handicap himself by a clothes-maid wife who will run him into debt with her extravagance.

Believe me. my dear, every young man worth having does count the cost of the upkeep of a wife. and many a one is frightened out of marriage by a girl's overdressing the part.

So perhaps it would be just as well to park that diamond ring if you want some poor young chap to put a gold band on your finger-

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Can you tell me how a girl feels when she is in love and what are lhe symptoms? Do you think that A couple going together for five months can be in love with each other

at the ages of i8 and 20? . ONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW

ANSWER: I think at the axes of 18 and 20 you can think you are in love and have many of the indications of it. but it is far more likely to be a false alarm than the real thing. Occasionally a case of calf love laata, but for the most part it passes in the course of a few weeks or months. and years afterward you can't even remember the name of the girl or boy who was your first SWEET-heart.

So don't take your fancy for anybodygloo seriously. Play around with him. Have a good time with him. But wait and see for your- self whether you are really in love for keep: or are just having a passing fancy.

The most authentic indications that you are in love are these: Do you prefer to spend a quiet evening at home with a boy to going out with him to some place of amusement? Would you rather hear him rcmlnlsce about himself or go to a night club? Do you like him best alone or in a crowd?

Can you listen to him talk about hlmselflby the hour and still ask for more? Have you begun tolook at pots and pans instead of costume jewelry in the shop windows? Does cooking suddenly he- come interesting and thrilling to you as o pastime? Have you begun to suggest going to cheap places of amusement instead of good shows and places where they dance? When a big six-foot man leaves you of an evening. do you worry over whether he has got run over by an automobile going home? Can you spend hours and hours in a boy's company without yawning?

If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, it looks very much as if you are coming down with a chronic heart ailment.

DEAR MISS DIX: The most terrible thing has happened to me that can happen to at girl. It will kill my parents. who are very -prominent peopte. if they find out. What shall I do?

. DESPERATE SEVENTEEN

ANSWER: Tell your mother this very day. you have done. your parents will love you and understand. them a chance to help you.

ulnunv BOWEL MAY TAKE noun nun No bus

E ETIIM Body Of Yours?

It is known that the majority of men and women are constipated to a considerable extent except, of course. nervous individuals or those bothered with emotional disturb- ances in whom colltia (chrome diarrhoea) is usually present. . At one time it waa thought that food eaten one day passed from the lower bowel the next day. Later by means of the barium meal. ii; was found that the wastes from a meal took two days to leave the body.

However, a few years I80. Dr. Walter Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic was able to show that barium to. form of clay) acted to some extent like a purgative and the wastes from food eaten might. take three to five days before leaving the body if barium was not used. and that individuals were not really consti-patted it five days passed be- fore wastes left the body, if it took the five days regularly.

Dr. Alvarez and Freelander. Mayo clinic, gave 50 small beads with an ordinary meal and found 15 per cent went through the stom- ach and intestine during the first 24 hours; 40 per cent the secor.-:1; 15 per cent the third; and 10 pEr cent the fourth. After the fourth day the remaining beads might take several days before they left the body. Beads are not any dif- ferent from seeds of figs or other fruits which cannot: be digested.

It was found.that in individuals healthy and normal in every way. the passage of the beads sometimes took longer than three or four days. Now there is no question but that constipation causes symptoms of distress in abdomen and depression of spirits for two reasons. First. there is some absorption into the blood of organisms and their pro- ducts lying in the large bowel. and second, because the weight of these wastes pull on the nerves of the bowel and cause heaviness in ab- domen imd tiredness and de-press- ion of spirits. Why then do wastes in the bowel not cause symptoms in healthy individuals? Because the waste material is always moving along. and healthy Individuals have within the lower bowel organisms that so act on these wastes that they are rendered harmless to the

body.

These healthy individuals should not take laxatives to empty the bowel. as the walls of the bowel need wastes to grasp to keep these walls healthy. Dont worry about the time it tiikea to remove wastes. if the bowel works regularly.

CON STIPATION

It has been estimated that there are more persons with constipation than there are without it.
