DIIT WHICH SHOWS IF F00!) HLEBGY IS PRESENT

It is only in recent years that we are fully recognizing the truth of the old saying that "what is one man's meat is another man's poison.” I am referring to allergy. We have known for years that ur- ticaria (hives) followed the eating of strawberries. and that hay fever (pollen catarrh) followed the float- ing in the air of ragweed pollen. From these two main facts ta) eating certain foods caused hives and stomach upsets, and (b) breathing in pollen in the air can cause symptoms of hay fever - head colds, running riasc, itching eyelldis-and only food can cause hives and stomach upsets. In this idea we are mistaken. as pointed out by Drs. Howard J? Lee and Theodore I. Squier. Milwaukee in "The Journal of the American Medical Association". Foods are Important causes of 'ergic re- actions as they piovoke symptoms alone, or they may aggravate symptcms caused by bicathing in pollen dust. and other substances However. it is easier to detect the allergic reactions caused by sub- stances in the air then where foods are causing the reactions.

Both foods and the inhalants (substances floating in the air)! can cause rhinitis Ihoad coldsii. asthma, hives and other head, nose and eye symptoms, and a.:o stom- ach and intestinal upsets.

In addition, less commonly recog- nized symptoms such as tiredness and headache, which occur regu-

larly from inhaling certain sub- stances, can be caused also bi" foods.

Food allergy may occur at any age. but it is seen more frequently in children, and adults who suf- fered with food a.llci'gy as child- sen often outgrow food allegy.

Another strange fact about food

allergy is that a very small amount of the food may cause severe al- lergic symptoms. .D;-5, Leo and squier use what they call provocative diet. eating nothing but the foods that most often cause allergic reactions - wheat, milk. eggs. beef. Grange pnd potato-for one week. If indi- ,vidual is allergic to foods. allerglr Jenctloils are bound to occur be- fore the week is over.

In the World of Books

With Will R. Bird

We often hear people say they do not want to read another word about war, especially World War II. Yet today the wading bo:k of fiction in our libraries is "The Wall," a story of the elimination of the Jews of Warsaw. While the most popular nun-fiction is "Rommel - The Desert Fox," an account of a miich publicized German general, 4000 copies of the latter book has been sold in Canada in four weeks.

Bi.ck.l have b:en partial to books about China, And I think this one by Gelfan the best of the lot His story is abo t a new American Consul in the City of Tai-Lun. which is suffer- ing from famii e. He paints g grim picture of life and death, of smiling Chinese who seem to be able to place themselves apiirt from their brothers as they watch

the bodies of Communist sold- iers floating dJW'l'l 'he river. As death has not touched the im-

mediate fa-mill-s oi the watchers they are hnzrw Thr Con ul soon came to the conclusion that the people of China were all like that.

Either dead or happily indmer. ent. The iiidiiieience, he found, reached to the civic auiho itizs

and many others, As long as mis- ery and terror did not lay fingers on them they lived conepl-scently and seemed to enjoy existence, The sufferings of their fellow; meant nothing.

Like the average crusader, Consul set out to battle cruel behavior Arci the story of what he did makes a thrilling and exciting bulk It has plot and counter plot, and there is nothing labored in the narrative, The reader will be cleser who can guess the outcome as the Consul becomes more and more involved in the eternal llltrlgues or the East. The de-crlptlons are ex- cellent. One can ad hire the beau- ty of the city, and yet be disgust- ed with its rotreiincss. The char- acters are very much alive. anl to them the e.:iLhoi' gives his dis- like or his pity according to their traits. Indeed one can mice throughout the book the sym- pathy of the writer for the hum- ble folk of Child.

There is a girl in the filled with the idealism of the young. She and the Consul work together against the corrupt city rulers who nakc their money through wrecking the relief mis- sion and selling huarded rice at famine prices. This is a glimpse of one phrase of the catastrophe that has overtaken China,

girl who has held on to the old-fashioned virtues of women with one hand. while grabbing the new ones with the other.

She is intelligent without posing as a highbrow. She is athletic without parading around in oreeches She is ii good sport without making an imitation man of herself.

QUIET TYPE

I think that sort of girl would suit a man of your type-a girl who would be interested in study. a girl who read and could talk about what was happening in the world. a girl who liked quiet things and who would be satisfied to stay at home of evenings instead of wanting to be perpetually taken about to places of amuse-

How even those years of our office at Alderlea "have flown! Not only do added gray hairs, a crick in the back at rising, and an in- clination tp sit. announce the pass- ing of time. Many incidents pe- culiar io the season bring daily reminders of this. Today an an- nouncement of graduation excr- cises for a bevy of nurses. among them a niece of the family, sister to Ellen. made James exclaim: "But it can't be - why she only commenced her course the other year!" "The other year.'” we laughed to him, so busy in the in- terval we think he receives a sur- prise when some happening brings the matter of time's flitting to his notice. But. we too marvelled over it's flight.

Not very long ago, it seems. we watched a number of these girls then scarcely past their period of probation, gay and care-free in a few hours "off", mount the hill on their way back to the restric- tions and labor that ever accom- pany the nursing course. And as we stood by a window we hoped that the future would not mar their obvious zest for living, that no matter the rigors of their train- ing. they would still keep the charm of the girlish years -those merry undauntable years, when hopes are bright and aspirations high, We do not know how the interval has used them. We know only that through laughter and tears, past sunny days and dark ones, by weeks and months and the prescribed years. they have at last reached their goal - their crowning hour. "isn't it lovely for them!" Jeanie said, recalling pos- sibly that any well-earned ribbon- bound diploma is exquisite to the touch. and "yes" we nodded, think- ing how good it must be, to be- long to a profession whose ideals

represent the best in service to mankind "lovely indeed!" O O 0 We were preparing dinner at

the time, casting an eye to the clock to compute the limit of time allowed us, springing to lift the potato-pot to avert a catastrophe tn cooking and hurrying then to spread the iable. Meals must be served on time today. Indeed when any work of moment is un- derway on the farm this is a re- quisite of the housewives. And today of all days. and over many a year. we made history at Alder- iea. Because this one saw the be- ginning of one of James dreams come true. The stump-field is being cleared at last! Not as we had sometimes anilcipaied ii would be. by the sweat of the farmers' brows but without labor on their part and by means of a sizable machine. which not irusiing its weight to any ”gang-way" bridge

moved in by way of a lenihy route along the fields, and at work, clcars all before it. "Oh

dear". we observed to granddaugh- rer watching the present up- heaval, ”the path will be all torn up!" And she comforted us with a depth of wisdom of which she was unaware. "But there'll be an- other.path." she said. "better per- haps ihan the one that was." An area of red sup-plants now the drab of the early season, virgin soil to be blessed by tonight's stars. 0 O 0

And Jock wears a smile. while James is quiet - rather bewild- ered we believe at the miracle that is being wrought before his eyes. Perhaps finding the new in- consistent with the old, for all about are the familiar scenes we have known forever: irecs bud- ding. grass greening. fields mei- lowing. He has come now to sit in his old armchair and he speaks in the silence that is ours. 1'lt's a wonderful way of clearing land, Ellen -- quite a change from axe and hoe, but will the land be as good? That's what I'm wondering. Oh well," he shrugs. "we'll have to wait for the crops to tell us that!"

Pine treee have been planted, five hundred of them and oak trees from the Cotton Memorial Nurs- ery; there are many more avail- able for all who wish to improve their properties and make them more beautiful. This is the time to plant all trea and shrubs, and before you realize they have grown to a large size. When you learn to plant a tree properly. there are few failures; dig a large hole to accommodate the roots without cramping them, then fill in with good earth, it dry, water well and firm the earth. and to pre- vent. drying out a much is bene- ficial.

When walking around the nuts- ery I kept thinking of the gener- osity and vision of the man who gave this nursery to the people who make their homes on this Island. Every shrub and tree that is planted from this nursery is making the Province the Garden of the Gulf and a lovely place to live. I noticed that some rows of shrubs and trees had all been dug up. but there are still many evergreens and other varieties to be had at a very small cost. This nursery is so valuable to us be- cause it is possible when in town

to drive over in two or three minutes. receive the trees. then hurry home plant them in the

same day before they become dry and lifeless as so many plants do when in transit for days.

A reader has asked about the White cedar in this garden that is trimmed in a good shape? There are many of these at the nursery and they cost very little.

Foisyihia is hanging out its golden bells and some of the new daffodils are blooming near by vviih the evergreen hedge as I background. but ihe nicest sur- prise was to find deep purple dou- ble violeis in a sunny corner of the rock wall with the most delici- ous fragrance I have ever known, ihese violets have been in the garden for a number of years but this is the first time they have bloomed. I am not sure of their name. they have now grown in to a large colony and because of their earliness. beauty and won- derful fragrance are very desir- able.
