UNCERTAINTY and doubt may hold up plans and all manner of business contracts, decisions and commitments. leaving a confused and perplexing condition or state of mind, perhaps making it safer to temporize on a dubious situa- tion rather than call it off with finality. At the same time the in- tuitions, emotions or possibly social or purely personal pressure might be a determining influence, with inner forces and faculties, ideals "1-lunches" a better guide than mental processes.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. are advised to fall back on their inner urges, inspiration or intuitions should a difficult or involved mat- ter come up for decision. as the mind is disposed to uncertainty, perplexity and doubt. This could be detrimental in putting over inputt- ant transactions. in renewing con- tracts. in correspondence or other forms of agreement.

I ASTHMATIC ATTACKS

The common treatment for an attack of asthma has been an in- joctlon of f lin (eplne-shrine) which stops the attack within ii few minutes. More recently it has been found that two new drugs benadryl and pyiebenza t . are just as effective as adrenalin in most cases. This is a great change from the days when there was no specific or special treatment for asthma. -

Andrenalin, benadryl. pyrebenza- mine and other drugs are antihis- taminic drugs in that they stop or interfere with the action of his- tamlne which the body itself manufactures. It is because about one in every five or six individuals manufactures too much histamine that they suffer with asthma, hay fever, hives. head "colds." and ab- dominal syrnptams. So. today, the physician uses an antihistamine drug and if this is not effective tries to find some nose or throat defect that may "start" the at- tacks.

what ma prove to be a great boon to su ferers from asthma is reported by a regular s.uu0Sp0l'ld- ent in Italy of the Journal of the American Medical Association This correspondent gives a. report at Dr D'Asaro as a new method he has used successfully for checking rap- idly an attack of bronchial asthma The method consists of push ng up slightly the abdominal organs with one or both hands. The hands may be placed at any level of the ab- domen in one or both sides at the same time-upper. middle or lower abdomen-while the individual lies partly on side and back. or in a sitting or standing position. After a few minutes. sometimes after only a few seconds. the patient feels relieved and the breathing becomes easy while the wheezy. whistling chest noises, which were heard over the whole chest, stop entirely.

This simple method can be taught to the patient who can push up abdominal organs himself when the attack first starts and he feels the tight feeling in the chest and swelling of the abdomen. He may thus stop an asthmatic attack in its early stages. y 7

This just pushing upwaros on abdomen is simple treatment and would not be recorded in the Jour- n,1 of the American Medical As- sociation if it had not been suc- cessful in Italy. Fortunately. drugs are now available to stop asthma- tic attacks.

This was the morning we stole away from the affairs of home to join women of James' trip to gather blueberries. And if we came back as he has declared

James is not one of'that glamorous bro- therhood of husbands who wiil"take the wife berrylng." on those rare occasions when we have inveigled him into the like. it prover” to be a task for him to join us in the joy of the picking and we recall were a minor accident or misery to befall one of our party. he al- ways pounced upon it eagerly as a convenient and w ' excuse to "get out of herei" Thus it was that this morning, James went to contribute his sha-we of labour to the haying at Rob's, while we came away in the freshness and inspire- tion of the new day, with pleasant anticipations to the outing before us.

We like to come to a blueberry barren. to catch there a sight of the veiled misty blue of the ripe fruit. Akin we always think it, to the color of new-born babes' eyes. . . to a Madonna-like gown or the blue of the night sky.

We travelled. and gathered our takings of fruit in a fine cmnpany of children, mothers and grand- mothers. And weighing the many pleasant contributing factors to our day. it comes to mind that we owe much lo our chauffeurs, who perhaps sensing that housewives must too often stay within the con- fines of their homes. were very will- ing to drive us the long way 'round to extend our outing. Even while travelling the distance to the bar- rens, and they in their extensive farming pressed for time. they were not against halting to allow us to admire some scene or object of in terest along the way. Homing, pails and baskets in varying de- grees of fullness, we visited an old and interesting cemetery.

We came to it at th end of a leafy winding land and presently, for- fetful of those who lay beneath flower and sod we looked out upon the still, mirrored water of a bay and beyond caught the deep blue of the Gulf in an enchanting scene, And we thought how good it would be to rest here after "life's fret- ful cares" should be over. in this silent pretty spot with only the Summer birds as today sing a tune- ful Requiem over us, and the soft moumful winds of the sea.

On Saturday the 27th of May, by the Rev. A. E. Horner at the Church of St. James, Birch in Rusholme, Manchester. England, a mar- iiagc took place between Mary Eleanor, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Webster, and P. 0. Lawrence Anderson. whom the bride met while in the submarine service in Canada. The groom's father gave away the bride, who looked charming in a gown of slipper satin em- broidered with point lace. Her ooronet was comprised of pearls and rhinestones and for jewellery she wore a necklace of rhinestones. She carried a bouquet of red roses and was attended by the bridegioom's sister Muriel, who acted as chief bridesmaid. Her gown was of tur- quoise and pink taffeta. She carried a bouquet of white carnations and was followed by a small attendant. Patricia Dean of London. who looked sweet in a long gown of pink taffeta with a posy of sweelpeas.

As the bride came down the aisle, three-year-old Riia Redman presented her with a lucky horseshoe. Her father Mr. Ronald Redman, along with Mr. Walter Lindsay (who was stationed near the bride's -home during the war) acted as groonisnien. Mr. Charles Fleming (who is the fiance of the bridesmaid) was best man. There were seventy guests for the receptionwhich was held at "Birch View Cafe" and Fred Maguire's Orchestra was in attendance.

The honeymoon was spent in Llandudno, North Wales. The bride's travelling suit was of brown check.

In the absence of the bride's parents. the groom's mother and father acted as hosts. Their many friends wished them many years of happi- riess.

Restless Husband

"Year's Separation Good Plan When 4Man In 50': Thinks He Wants Our

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married for thirty years to a man whom I still adore. I have given him three fine sons of whom he is very proud. I have been a K004 m”"'"- I I004 W190: I lood home- maker. I have saved my husband's money and helped him succeed. 1 am good-looking. still have my figure and dress well. I have kept up

with the times. But at middle an my husband he. suddenly tired of me and wants to be free. He uy.

doesn't want to be bound down by domestic ties, and asks me to divorce him. What shall I do? MARION

ANSWER: I should say that your best plgn would be to ask him to agree to a separation of s ' year. Tell him that you have no desire to hang on to a man who regards you as an encumbrance and wishes to be rid of you. but that before he messes up your life and my life and the children's lives with a dlvdrce, you want to be lure tlm he really wants one.

AGE OF INDISCBETION

It is a very common thing for men in the turbulent 50:, which ap- pearl to be the age of lndiacretion. to have domesticity pail upon lhem. They get suddenly sick and tired of it as they do of their business or their professions and crave a change. They ION: for liberty and free- dom to enjoy themselves. They want to be able to come and so as they please without giving an account to anyone.

While this mood lasts many 8 ma" 8915 5 dlV"c'-i "'3'" M5 Wile or retires from business ,and generally with the same disastrous result. The freedom that he longed for turns to dust and ashes on his lips. He is lonely and miserable without his old wife and bored to death with nothing fenced off from them in the domestic fold he find: to be silly lilile

idleness that seemed so desirable when he was busy becomes an in- supportable burden when he has nothing to do but kill time.

But you cannot argue with a man whose matrimonial fclters lizm begun to chafe him. and who thinks that he would be perfectly hripp) if he were free of them. The only thing that will bring him back cc his senses is experience.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband tells me that he does not love me He says that he would not speak to a burn the way he lalks to me and that he has more respect for the women of the streets than he hai for me. He seems to blame me for this and think I should do some thing about it. I do not know what causes his disrespect. as I haw been a good wife to him. I am honest. moral, and neither in my man- ner nor language am I common or vulgar. I offered him a divorce We have no children and I would not expect alimony. as I am young and healthy and able to take care of myself, but it appears he does not want to leave me. I am completely disgusted with niarriagc and yet I don't want to quit, and I love him in spite of everything. What
