l Ell.Eii'S DIARY ly An uiuu Farmers were

Today we had a pretty lantern placed above the "best" front-door. an intlgulng affair, somewhat coni- :al in shape, of opaque 8185: out- Lined in black and patterned after aietures of those ancient ones of :Iim past years. on the lawn with granddaughter we watched a mo- rnent while the elect-rician hung it above the centre of the fan-light. 'Gran'daddy says" she confided in a whisper "therels no need of a light there at alll ifrfow many times viii it ever be used?” " she uncon- aciously mimicked his words. "Not with a. verandah light and a yard light. 1-fe'd rather," she continued, nodding her head to accent her opinion "if it were put above a stable door; he wouldn't grumble about that -no he wouldn't say one word!" . . . "Oh yes. they're wiring the buildings today" James said. discussing this current inter- est of the family, to a chance farmer-visitor this evening. ”We're having odd ones put in about-up lofts . . . and in the stables and barn-floors and granaries..1n the piggeries too. and indeed. in all of the buildings. Makes it more con- venient for the work at nl8lIlr"-

"Yes, and we're having them wir- ed so that we can use heaters in the piggerles in farrowing time -if we have a. cold spell. And in the cel- lars. too- 'plugs' for this or that: lights and power for a grader, or

hear, if we need it there. You never know . . . . the glass drops pretty low sometimes . . . and the frost can get into the cellars. ”An electric stove, Ellen - hot-plate, irons -- toaster -- mixer! !

Who in thunderation ever heard of using the likes on a farm that has acres of woodland! Put it out of your mind - such utter nonsense. Don't listen to her Jeanie!) "Oh no, as you say" James continued. "it's not practical to stint in con- veniences about farm-buildings. That's where the work is to be done year 'round. And after all What's :he expense of one gadget more or less!” And then, 'they put in a cou- ple around here at the front of the house today - that" o-ne" he nodded toward the verandah off the kit- chen "and this one over here at the door." And they saun- tered in the direction we had fol- lowed in the morning. We linger- ed within hearing. 'Yes” James ex- piained 'we had that one put there -not that we'll ever use it much, I suppose . . . Ellen kind of fancied it. Yes. it does look very nice -goes very well in that place. Yes, I guess it's Just as well that we thought of it!" We smiled into the rosy fading glow of the West, and stepped noiselessly indoors to "the dishes." 0 O 0

caught up in the exodus of scholars which takes them from farm and village, from town and city to at- tend school or unlveristy at a dis- tance. Ellen, school-teacher of a year is among that number and many others whose careers we fol- low with prideful interest. We are interested also in the wee ones with wondering eyes who stepped upon the first round of the ladder at schools' opening recently - the chudren with the innocent new of life fresh on them - new grist to the mill.

TREATMENT OF unltlzlnntggy HEADACHE (CEPIIALALGIA)

While headache is considered the commonest symptom known 1., mlnklnd. there are many varieties and, of course. many causes,

Cephalalgia is another name to.- headache, just as neuralgia .s on ache in the nerves. It is known that headaches. sometimes a my. llcl-ll" Wile of headache. seems to run in some families. This is called hereditary caphalalgia. In Post. graduate Medicine. Dr. Cecil M Charles, st. Louis, Mo.. states that individuals giving a family history of paroxysmal (coming suddenly, very severe for a time. and leaving suddenly) headache and havlnv; such headaches the.-nseives, may be grouped together under the term Hereditary Cephalalgia. with- out attempting to sort them out into different varieties or subdiv- isions. He made a study of 35 pat- ients who have regularly uxurnng severe headaches and who give positive family histories of paroxv- smal cephalalgia. Many of thege have had electrcencaphalogmpm; tracings made (tracings of brain movements. Just as heart move- ments are traced by the (.-lectrr.- cardiograplm

For years the specific drug used for migraine (onesided headache) has been ergotamine tartrate (gynergen). In the treatment of these 35 patients ergotamln-2 tar- trate alone or in combination with caffeine (cafergone). and caffeine alone, was used.

As with migraine. ex-gotamine tar- trate was by for the most effective drug in treating these hereditary headaches, excellent results being cbtalned in 80 per cent of the pat- ients and good results in the re- malning 20 per cent. some of the other preparations gave good rc-- sults and were used where gyne'- gen caused various side effects or symptoms. Giving gyraergvn by mouth even in large doses is not nearly as effective as gynergen given subcutaneously (by hypoder- mic lnjection.))

Because of the eiectroencephalm graphic findings (brain movements in manv patients with hereditary cephalalgia. which findings are present in epilepsy or convulsions, the drug Mesantoin to coxtiiterart convulsions was given to several of these patients with excellent re- sults. Further tests will be made.

Friendly Partnership

Couple With Children Should Make Loveless Mirriage Work

DEAR M155 Dlxg My husband and I married when we were boy and girl. Now twelve years later we find that we have outgrown our youthful passion. that we are completely out of love with each other and that there is little congcniallty between us. Neither one of us would now select the other for a mate. If we had only OW" selves to consider we would not hesitate to part, but we have N0

; splendid children Who are lust coming to the M16 when they most need a home and a mother and II father. and we do not feel that We have 3 flillll to take our happiness at their expense. Besides. we both adore our children. Can two people situ- ated as we are make even a near success of mar-

1 2 F "2 MABEL.

ANSWER; Undoubtedly you can. Intelligence is just as much a factor in making a successful marriage as love is. Perhaps. indeed. it 809! llflher in making I happy marriage than love does because the more emotional a man and woman are the more prone are they to jeaiousles and llllliffell and unrcasons and the various temperamental qualities that are thrilling at moments, but uncomfortable for daily C0mPBlll0ll3hlP-

ROMANCE SHORT-LIVED

After all, romantic love seldom outllves the honeymoon. Com- monplacc people in a commonplace world cannot long thrill over each other and pnlpitate at the sound of each other's footsteps. Most husbands and wlve.g cease to be lovers and settle down into being friends. and that is a very beautiful and comfortable relationship.

That is what you and your husband can make of Y0"? "”'"Tl389 19 you will. A friendship. A partnership out of which you can both get great happiness if you will make an intelligent effort to do so. Nor is this as difficult as it sounds. You have only to take as much trouble to make yourselves agreeable to each other as you would make to attract any stranger.

To begin with you have a common interest in your children that lnsensibly draws you together. ,Your dominant desire is to make them happy and to rear them into being fine men. The man and woman who have bent over il cradle together and watched over a sick baby. and taught a toddler to walk have a tie between them that nothing can ever really break.

As for getting along harmoniously together that is simply I mil- ter of volition. There is no use in saying that you can't be on your P's and Q's and watch your tongues with the members of your own household. We can do it just as easily with them as we can with strangers and every one of us minds his manners with those he de- sires to propitlate.

DEAR MISS DIX: Why are old maids so much more unhappy than oldbachelorg are? You see lots of jolly old bachelors. but few cheerful old maids. Most men who do not marry look as If they had achieved at success in keeping single. but most unmarried women have a disappointed air about them. Why is this?

A GROUP OF GIRLS

ANSWER: I think that explanation of the difference between old maid and old bachelor on their outlook on marriage is a hangover from the days when it was considered a reflection, if not an actual disg-race, for a woman not to achieve a husband.

Of course. there is no longer a stigma upon being an old maid. Women many now or not as they please. just as men do. but it is still true that women are much more anxious to marry than men are and that when they fall to marry they somehow feel that they have missed the greatest thing in life, "no matter what other good fortune fate has bestowed upon them. ,

Perhaps this is because women crave love more than men do. or because they desire children more than men do. or because they are more romantic and creduioua. Nobody knows, but it is true that the average old bachelor takes single blcssedneas much more philosophical- ly than the old meld does.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a well-educated, intelligent man and by profession a writer. During my college days I fell deeply in love with a fine. sweet. ordinary girl with little education. Ever since ahe has always been perpetually in my mind. Her presence makes any- thing a success. l-fer a-bsence makes it a failure. If I marry her Will I be content with her? Does education make any difference if I man is deeply in love? , H K ,

ANSWER: Nobody knows what sort of a wife a man will be content with. He often doesn't know himself. lllvldentlytlris girl has a strong physical attraction for you. but whether it will last when there is no mental conlenlality is difficult to say. I should think that a literary men would find an illiterate wife a poor choice as aglife companion. .

Autumn flowers. are treasured above all others. and the fragrant creamy white Clematis Panlculta vine is now a lovely sight; the leaves are a. dark shiny green and all through October it will be a Joy. This haordy Clematis is easier to grow than the large-flowered var- ieties, although the well known pur- ple flowered Jackmannl is doing well in this garden and at the time of writing is covered with dozens of very large lovely purple blooms.

Paniculta is one of the finest sweet scented vines that we have. and coming at this season of the year makes it more in be desired. Winter protection in this garden is provided by a few spruce boughs after it is -removed from the trel- lls, then in the Spring it is cut to a foot from the ground. A mulch of manure is beneficial at this time and moisture must be supplied in a. dry season.

Michaelmas Daisies are now com- ing into bloom and they will con- tinue for several weeks; they are used a great deal in England and gardens of these Daisies are seen in Autumn. Early in their history the flowers of autumn were dedi- cated to the gods, who were be- lieved to have had a. hand in the harvest, and together with fruit and vegetables, flowers adorned the altar: at the Thanksgiving ceremonies. This age-old custom survived in Christian countries as the Harvest Festival.
