"I wonder what's keeping him?" Gage said. "It's been a long time since he went away."

We were at the set-cuttltr? then. in the field adjacent to 1. e from meadow and also by streamside. having settled upon this pastime in the afternoon when the pres- ent cares of our housework were over...And at supper-the tea- kettle heated quickly over a fire of bits and pieces of sticks gath- ered in a. woodsy spot beside, not from any scarcity at the wood- pile but only because of some queer primitive instinct we own which enjoys building fires of the like-Rob remarked with obvious

surprise: "You have been cutting potatoes!"

He laughed then and added with some curiosity: "Did some one ask you to? That was his parting message to you when

Father was leaving for 'out Home' :his morning. 'Tell your mother' he said. "she won't have too much cime to get that seed cut, since we'll be planting any day now! But I didn't relay the word to you, because I thought Jamie and I could find time to do them." .. . .

Jamie was our helper. as was the smaller fellow, concerned at the work, making excuse when an Inadvertent cut failed to include I healthy bud. "But perhaps it will grow without one, with nice sunny days and it shower or two," he once remarked with all the optimism of five years. But Jamie replied "That's only silly talk. Gage. You know very well won't grow unless it has in it it real good eye"

The potatoes had been spread to sun in a corner of hayland where this nlternoon the scented breeze of day moved lightly- talking with the field-flowers, en- couraging for our especial delight the budded daisies to bare their hearts of Rolri. Birds chanted of the pleasantries of season, and about us our world was lovely- and good.

A dog on the farm across the road barked loudly. returning nostalgic memories to the little lad. He kept his eyes on the cut- ting, the "still waters" of his mind evidently "running d e e p". wonder what's keeping him?" he said. "He's been a long time a- way."

That Body Of Yours By James W. Berton. nu). PHYSICIAN MUST SIZE UP

PATIENTS MENTAL sun EMOTIONAL MAKE-UP

More and more we are learning that the condition or healthiof

e mental and emotional health. Thul. anxiety can upset stomach and digestion, can cause sleepless- ness and general weakness. On the other hand. infected teeth, tonsils. gall bladder. large intes- tine can cause mental symptoms, sleepiness and a "don't care" at- titude toward life.

It is because it is now recogniz- ed how much the mind can effect the body that we are hearing and reading a b o u t "psychosomatic" medicine today,meaning the effect of the mind and emotions upon the body. Illness of the body can be helped or harmed by the state of our emotional health.

In Postgraduate Medicine, Dr.

Joost A. M. Meerlo states that typical psychologic (mental and emotional) processes come into

action as soon as a sick human being consults a physician. These processes are dependent on pro. arranged Expectartions on the part of both doctor and patient. scien- tific expectations, wishes of cure and unconscious cravings all com- plicate the doctor-patient relation- ship, which influences the form or method of treatment to be given."

Many patients. having treated themselves without success, un- consciously expect. a "cure" when they consult the physician. The patient has a feeling of confld. ence in the doctor and feels free .to tell the whole story of his Symptoms and why he is consult- ing him.

Just as 3 clergyman listens to confessions and gives spiritual help, so the physician listens to the patient and gives medical or physical advice. Among the needs of the patient is getting relief from anxiety. So often symptoms or diseases break out or are made worse by the patients continual anxiety and perhaps feeling of guilt. The struggle for life with its outside dangers and inner an- xieties provokes many somatic (body) symptoms. That is why the patient doesn't ask only for pills and injections. but wants to confess the bad way he has man- aged his life.

Doctors are not competing with clergymen. The facts confessed to the doctor are different, concerned with the body. They often pave the way for real cnnf I .. to a father confessor.

Although it may not be a day of outstanding events, Judging by the lunar transits, at the same time it may be desirable to take minor Happenings or offerings in stride. There could be petty com- plexities or anxieties and a ten- dency to make big annoyances out of small ones. Trivial outside an- xieties could iind unhappy reac- tions on the domestic scene. or on purely personal interests or grat- iflcations. .

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may find themselves in a year of re- wards or recognition for work well done in employment, politics, or some special skill, with a. token of personal appreciation from influ- ential places. But this should be accepted with proper grace and ceremony. especially since elders. or old institutions, may not be affably inclined. Small changes may be involved; accept with good grace recognition of even small favors.

A child born on this day may have versatility and talent, with

social graces and aspirations, at- tracting favors. '

Grass Stains

Grass stains on washable mate- rial may be removed by dipping it as quickly as possible into luke- warm water and a mild soap suds. Rub until the stains come out, and then rise in clear, warm water. In the case of non-washable ma- terial. sponge the stains with de- natured alcohol, rubbing gently until the stains disappear.

Essa Eggs will not burst while boil- ing if one end of each egg is prlcked with a needle before plac- ing in the water. This makes an outlet for air and prevents the shell from cracking.

v Men's Maturity Stems From Character. Noi His Years

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: About two years ago. at the age of 35. I met a man of 52 and we became quite friendly. After a while he spoke of marriage. but talked often about a woman with whom he had lived. I felt he was attracted to me on the rebound, as this wo- man had married someone else. Later. in extend- ing an invitation to my sister, he gave her to un- derstsnd that his intentions toward me were quite serious. However. he seemed to cool in this at- tltude considerably, and a few weeks ago told me quite clearly that he had no matrimonial intentions whatsoever. '

I asked him to stop calling me as I didn't want to see him again; however. I did relent and we went on a date. He went right back to his first topic of conversation and began discussing women he had been out with since I had last seen him. I was so disgusted I definitely broke off with him.

Now I have met a man who is the soul of

Murl" Nuun kindness and integrity. However. I can't get over my mistrust of men caused by the other friend's treatment. If is man of 52 can be so ignorant of common decency,

what will a man of 40 be like? F. S. H.

ANSWER: Your man of 52 is an old roue whose only ambition is collecting women's hearts as though they were trophies. to be brag- ged about. He was probably the same at 42 and 22. Age has noth- ing to do with his character. '

NEW BEAU DIFTEILENT

Your 40-year-old beau is of entirely different calibre. He acquires friends as a result of his own consideration and honesty: to him they are something to treasure. He is a sound person. 01 300?! Ch31'EiC”t?T and judgment. Don't let your fancied mistrust of men luie you n a losing a fine friend. You arent really disillusioned; your feeling is the result of creating too much drama around a situation. Here. of course. your family's altitude is assuming so strongly that you yyelre marrying the man added considerable tension to the whee n ar. Forget the past, and in the light of xi pleasant present, anticipate a happy future with a fine man.

DEAR MISS DIX: Four years ago I met a boy I liked very much. but did not love. We went together as friends for a long UMP. then he said he loved me but I admitted I couldn't return ihe feeling. About a year later he announced that he was moving to a distant state. but still insisted he .loved nnd wanted to marry me. 'lhen I heard of his marriage. This marriage lasted only two months, then he came back here and said he still loved me. Now I know that I love him, and would gladly marry him. My father does!” BPPFOVG of our friendship, under the circumstances, and wants me to break off with him. What can I do? M E G

ANSWER: Your emotions are extremely unstable. You decided you loved this young man simply because someone else came Into possession. He should make a strong Hfort '9 turn hi! marriage into a success, and you Sh0UICIn't try to discourage him. Let him 30 back to his wife and see if they can't make something oultlof this mess that is largely due to your own procrastinating indecson.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 16, and have been going with a boy a year older. He is a fine boy and we get along very well together. We also get along with each oiher's.famll1es. except for his younger brother, Van. Van has been telephoning me quite often asking for a date. and nothing I say seems to discourage him. How can I stop

this annoyance? KATHRYN J-

ANSWER: Don't try to handle this persistent younger brother by yourself. Tell his brother and let him take a hand In the solution. Or. you could ask your mother to tell the young pest. when helgags. that you aren't interested in talking to him. A word from an o s r will do wonder: with him.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 13. very fond of a certain boy two years older. Whenever I'm with him he talks about his other girl friends, and I don't like it. I know he's trying to dmake mt: jealous, but I'm getting tired of it. How can I tell him I ont wan to see him any more without breaking his heart. ETFA R R.

ANSWER: My dear child. hearts don't break at the age of 15. so you're quite safe in telling the boy that you prefer not to see him again. You have been much too serious over him, anyway. for your age. Adolescents are sometimes woefully short on conversational material and discussion of other girls may be this boy's only topic.

g CANADA DEPARTMENT OF .

- AGRICULTURE . How can I remove weather

stains from a canvas auto top? A. Ordinary weather stains, caused by soot. rain. or dust, can perhaps be best removed by brushing with a hot soap solution and rinsing. some weather stains on canvas can be lightened by using bleaching powder, or Javelle water.

Q. How can I remove a stub- born splinter from the flesh?

A. Place a wide-mouthed bot- tle, nearly full of hot water, over the splinter and press tightly. The suction will draw the fresh down and the steam will remove the splinter.

Q. How can I clean matting and keep it from turning yellow?

A. Wipe off the matting with a cloth wrung from salt and water. and it will prevent it from turn- ing yellow.

Every thrifty homomaker prac- tises the old saying "Waste Not -Want Not" for she can't afford to waste anything. Generally, when food is wasted it is not act- ually thrown away in heaps, it is dribbled away in dibs and dabs. Vegetable water goes down the sink, bread goes stale and so on. The most logical person to con- centrate on not wasting food is Mother but it should be a matter for each member of the family to think about. Everyone can do his or her part to assist.

There are many distractions to keep you from paying attention to your cooking. The phone rings or the baby cries and when you get back there is that peculiar odour -scorched food. when leaving a room. turn the stove down to low or turnlit of! completely or with

Always Use A Grocery List

Ice cream is a Canadian fev- ourlte. It is as popular as hockey and as varied as the people who eat it. An assortment of toppings or sauces such as canned or froz- en fruits, nuts, maple syrup or chocolate sauce will make plain ice cream into a sundae.
