ELLEll'S mm

Our farmers commenced their work on the land today. spreading manure from one of the heaps hauled during the Winter season. At the outset, forgetful that only by taking "one step and then an- other the longest walk is ended "James decided that in prospect the task was rather disinayliig

. "We'll never in this world get all of it spreadl" he said into a silence at breakfast. "and even if we do. it will be so late when we finish- ed, we won't have the crop in by Fall!" Somewhat overwhelming as always is the anticipation of me many duties incidental to the seed- :ime. but pleasant as the days bear zhem to and away in their turn. an ground intended for roots the spreading was being done. not in a mntlnuous operation but with many nterruptions.

They must keep an eye to any rign of a summons about the work Jrogressing in the stump-field; zhey must be about the barns for zhc arrival of a new lamb or calf and steps led to a piggery on a suggested "Guess we'd better see that all of that last litter nurses before we go again!" all of which stays the hand of the husbandman. in a fitting and recent finale and to make up for a lesser increase in some other sty. the last matron of the season had presented her caretakers with two rows of seven. and as James said "one to come and go on!" "Well" Jock milled broadly brinslnz a basketfui of them to the old kitchen where he applies his denstlstry "this is a very good ending-no more before the Summer!"

It so happened that aha. per- haps sensing the deep disappoint- ment the housewives would suffer otherwise. had rested the event for our sakes. when the adult mem- bers of the family had been mak- ing ready to attend a reception in honor of nephew-to-us and his bride and James' best suit had been laid out for the occasion. he came

Ellen. but we needn't stay too long. You know one never can tell!" The face in the class brightened while James removed his busy work-boots. And I3 it happened. or as June: sum- med it up "as luck would have it." the affair being most enjoyable. we remained longer than even the most hopeful of us had expected. and as we have said eventually rg. ceived abundant increase. and not before we had breakfasted the next morning.

The drone of the busy machines- tha powered stumper and the horse- drawn spreader. made pleasant music in our ears as encouraged by the sunshine and light breeze of afternoon we came to work in the garden-raking and gathering an accumulation of waste to a tidy heap I-HG everything being favorable to it, enjoying then the delight of a bon-fire. Gianddaiughter should have been present but obeying Doc- tor's orders she must view her out-of-doors today from a window. Someone has said "a gardener is the happiest soul on earth" and while our efforts often bring only

AN OLD BUT SUCCESSFUL METHOD OF TREATING ALCOIIOLISM

Now that alcoholism ia regarded as a disease due to some lack in the individual. a great many alco- holics are being helped by various Alcoholics Aiuu out from time methods of treatment. I write about to time because the alcoholic rec- ognizes that all his strongest at- tempts to use his will power have failed to cure him. As a member of Alcoholic Anonymous. he joins a group who are putting up a strug- gle and really want to be cured By leaning on a Higher Power to be helped for just 24 hours at a time. the great majority are able to conquer their strong desire for alcohol.

I have written before about the drug discovered in Denmark. call- ed Antabtlse in America, which is helping many alcoholics who wish to be cured. They show their strong desire to be cured by tak- ing this drug. knowing that if they take alcohol also they will be des- perately sick. v

Before the days of Alcoholics Anonymous and Antabuse the drugs commonly used in the treat- ment of alcoholism were atropirie and apcmorpliine. which had the effect of causing nausea and vom- itlng at the thought. smell. or taste of alcohol.

In The Swiss Medical Journal. Drs. G. de Morsler and F. Fold- man. Geneva. Switzerland. the treatment of 250 patients with chronic alcoholism in the last two years by the use of aipomorphine. Results are reported only for the first 100 patients of this series who he. been under observation for at less six months. Forty-seven per cent of the 250 patients were cured after one course of treatment.

"The treatment is carried out as follows: after a complete Physical examination the patient is placed by himself and given the alcoholic beverage to which he is accustom- ed. but no food. As soon as he be- gins to feel extra .fine or unusually comfortable. 6 mg. of s.pomor- phine is injected under the skin. This usually causes nausea. and vomiting within 3 few minutes. When he feels better'he is given more alcohol and two to four hours later is given a second injection of 6 mg. of apomorphine. If he con- tinues to drink liquor he is given a third injection of apomorphine.

He is then given 4 mg. apomor- phine every 2 hours day and night. When he does not want asy more liquor the treatment is stopped. A dose of 10 units of insulin is then injected and an hour later sweetened tea. is given. This treat- ment is usually completed in 2 days.

True Success Story.

By I'. I. MacArthu-

Tlw Quaker poet. John Green- -leaf Whittier, like his brother poet Robert Burns. shared many things in common. For lnatencepnoib were born on farms and knew the ii-iala and atrugglee that attended the likes of the poorer clue farm- ers. both were self-nude men. with only a little schooling to start them out on the journey of life; and each possessed the spark of genius that started a flame whole light atill brings joy and inspir- ation to everyone who reads their glowing words. y

Whittier was born in East Haverhlll. Ma.as.. in 1807. The little country schoolhousegavelhim part of his early education; the rest, save one year that he spent in Haverhiil Academy, was ac- qulred by living close to nature and by aitunlng his ears to her voices.

Among the few books his humble home boasted was the Bible, Shakespeare and the Jour- nals of lath century Quaker lead- ers. These tbe boy learned so well that the foundation for his later work was laid well. No doubt he pored over his treasures by ibeydlm light of a candle apd what he Tread was well absorbed.

Joshua Coffin a school-teacher of the district. presented young Whittier with the poems of Rob- ert Burns and. though only four- teen at the time. Whittier was deeply impressed by the rhymes of ihe plowman poet. One does not wonder at this considering that each had much in common. and when ihe American farmer poet began to express his own ideas in verse. there crept inlo his lines that strong influence which flowed from the heart of the greater poet.

This shy farm lad might never have thought of publishing his ver- ses had not his sister Mary plucked one of them from the piece of hiding and sent it to the Free Press of Newbury-port. Imagine the surprised look that must have appeared on the young poet's face when, some days later, he opened I copy of the paper and lo! there appeared his brain child.

The editor, William Garrison. was so much impressed by that

want to be married and have a family before I am 50. And there is . someone whom I have reason to believe is interested in me and would be glad to marry me right now it the coast was clear. What about it? RUTH

ANSWER: Well, Ruth. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. according to the old proverb. and. if all you want in marriage is a man. a house and a baby. you had better grab off the man who can give them to you right away.

Especially as you seem lo have no preference in husbands. Any port in a storm. Anything in trousers who will accompany you to the

altar. HARD TO UNDERSTAND

Certainly the greatest mystery on earth is the insane mania wo- men have for getting married. You can understand a woman who is desperately in love with some particular man. wanting to marry him so that she can always be near him. But why should a young girl be in a hurry to marry before she has even given Prince Charming a chance to ride by?

Half of the discontented. disgruntled wives in the world are wo- men who married men they didn't, love just to be a-marrying. That is why they haven't any patience to put up with their husbands' peculiarities. It takes love to gild the matrimonial fettera and they haven't got it. and that is why the ball and chain chafes them.

There are the poor, struggling. overworked wives who brought ilieir misery down on their own heads because they were in such a rush to get married they wouldn't wait until their men had got in a position in which they could aupport a family. And there are the dissatisfied. disillusioned women who get married in their teens, be- fore they knew what they were going to be ihemselve-. or what they would want in their husbands. Couldn't wait to get grown up. Had to get married right away to some boy as callow as themselves and of whom they tired almost as soon as they got home.

Funny, the mania women have for marrying just anybody. isn't it?

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am a business woman, brought up in a family where we were taught there was only right and wrong in this world. Some years ago I had an affair with a married man. It is all over now and so far as 1 am aware no one knows about it, but my own conscience has been my punishment and has crucified me. Lately I have been able to rise above it all and feel that my sins. which were many. have been forgiven me, but now and again my conscience makes me feel that I should tell those concerned. yet by doing so the Innocent would be made. to suffer. What should I do? WORRIED

ANSWER: Kecp sllcnce, Never let anything induce you to buy ylour own peace of mind by inflicting needles.-. suffering on anyone ese.

Confession is cowardice. It is the easy way out for those who have not the strength to bear their own burden and who relieve them- selves by shifting the load onto others. Have the courage to refuse to do this. Pay for your own wrongdoing and do so by accepting silence as part of the price.

For you to confess your sin can do no possible good to any hu- man being. Certainly you cannot imagine that it would make the man's wife happier to know lhat her husband had been dleloyal to her even If he has also repented and returned to the straight and narrow path. Possibly it would break up her home and half-orphan innocent children. Certainly even if she forgave him it would make a breach between them that could never be bridged over. for no wife ever irusls again the husband who has betrayed her.

For yourself it would make the road to right living infinitely harder. You would slime your name with scandal. You would alienate many friend: who now believe in you. You would lose much that you could never get back. and all for nothing. You have done wrong. You have repented. You are making amends for the put and the only sane thing for you to do is to bury that part under tons of silence and forget it.

DEAR. MISS DIX: I think I love my girl because she has a depth of character immeasurable. She inspires me with aelf-con- fidence. She is appreciative of my pet ideas. She likes to listen to me and enjoy: my obnoxious pipe. She fills me with ambition to do great deeds. It is glorious to be with her and torture to be parted.
