We have been in a perpetual row ever since we were married and every time I don't give in to her she cries and rushes home to Mama and I am so ‘fed up with the situation that I don't think I shall attempt to get her back. I don't think she loves me very much. Alli/Wu. she doesn't act like she does. What shall" I do! TOM ANSWER: Well. Tom. my advice to you is to go to see your wife and find out if she is willing to come back and make a real honest-to- goodnels try at making marriage a success. If she isn't and if she in- ttends to pack up her belongings and go back to Mother every time she gets peeved, she had better stay there. If she does return to you, make up your mind that there will be no more fussing and arguing between you. You can stop fighting if you went to. You get along with other people and you can live peaceably with your wife if you‘ are determined to do so. DEAR DOROTHY mx: I am a boy of 30. married to a girl of 19. '1 would be vary happy except that my wife is the worst housekeeper you ever saw. Our home is a perfect mess. Floors are never swept. Beds never made up. Dishes left unwashed in the sink. Clothes left on the floor just where they were dropped. And it drives me crazy, tfor I was brought up in a home where everything was apick-and-apan and neat as a pin. I cry to make my wife realize how miserable it makes me to live in such a cluttered-up place, but it does no good. She ssya she is go- ing to keep house the way her mother does. So there I am, and I don't know what to do. Can you suggest anything? UNHAPPY YOUNG HUSBAND ANSWER: There is nothing you can do except to try to put a peers into her ‘by telling her that unless she menda her ways with the flop and broom that you are going to leave her. If she is very much love with you, she may think it worth while to change her tactics f omanls RealmzSocial _ Joan of Arc That‘ Body Of Yours l! Iancthlartenl-I. i I CANCER OF Till! MOUTH I write frequently about pepper- of the stomach because in. many cases what the patient considers slight indigestion really is cancer, and it is not discovered until it is too late to save life. Because cancer of the mouth gives early symptoms, thereshovuld be fewer deaths frcm lip, tongue and throat. cancer than at present. If the advice to see your dentist twice a. year were followed by mid- dle-aged or even younger men and women, cancer of the mouth would cause few deaths. In “Your Health," Dr. Charles A. Levinson, Boston, states that. the dentist is the first one to see 50 per cent of s.ll mouth cancers. "Your dentist is in an excellent position to discover earrly sigma of cancer of the mouth and tongue which, if diagnosed in time, may be success- fully treated." Further advice is that you should not wait. for your semi-annual visit lo your dentist if you feel a pain- less lump or thickening in the lip or tongue. or if you are troubled with persistent hoatsenass. Per- sistent hoaa-seness should be consid- ered cancer until diagnosed other- wise. Because cancer of the mouth can be seen and is not hidden. as is cancer of the stcmach. "it is the most. easily preventable form of cancer." Although we do not as yet know the cause of cancer. we do lcnow that any irritation of an exposed surface or lining of an organ causes cancer in some individuals. Thus lip cancers develop fpolm jagged teeth, sunburn, irritation from pipe smoking, Cancer of the tongue can develop from deposits of tartar st the bottom of the teeth, in which a sharp Edge of the tartar cuts or irritates the tongue. Broken teeth. poor fitting "plates" or bridges also can irritate the tongue and cause cancer. ‘ As with cancer anywhere in the body, the cancer cells in the mouth must be removed before they are carried by the‘ blood to other parts of the body and start secondary cancer. Remember, the cure of cancer of the mouth is also the same as else- where-surgery, X-rsy and radium.

John up until then. when the usual speeches had been made and the bottle of chpmpsgne broken across her bow. the blocks were released and the new ship started down the ways.

We have had a spell of stranss living ta recent days. It has been a time when we were pretty well isolated in the room above the kitchen, whereithe affairs of the family's living reached us only vaguely, and we existed in a de- tached state of mind and body. This especially of late has had its en- joyable moments. We came‘ to this existence, which on occasion appeared to be situated on e. sus- pended borderland somewhere be; tween living and dying in a queer way. We had been much absorbed in our seasonal duties. tidying our rooms and often finding piss.- sure in slipping away from our cleaning when the sun and whis- pering winds beckoned us to a bit of gardening.

Her next voyage was to Mo- bile for s. cargo of cotton. The return trip occupied only 30 days. a. record breaking voyage for those days, and earned for the new ship the reputation of being the fast- est: vessel afloat. When James Balm-s sighted her for the first time, he decided to buy the ship for the Black Ball Lino of Australian Packets. His next step was to fit her up as a Plfloilcer carrier. Equipping her Wiiih elaborate saloons and berths. O O O Baines hired James Forbes sa her captain. Just five months and 2i days she had carried i000 first class passengers from Llvenpocl lo Melbourne. Australia. That was the year the Australian gold fields had been discovered. Her fame spread. and this was a great boost to the ship building industry of New Brunswick as well as adding a feather to the bon- net of James Smith. Wherever the Marco Pool went she adver- tised the skill oi’ the marine dea- signers and builders of our sister province. After 15 years service with the Australian Line the proud vessel was cut down and converted into s barge. In 1880 she was sold to Norway. and in i883 she met her Waterloo at Caven- dish Cape. P. E.

How can I avoid having holes in s garment when basting it? A. Do not knot the end of the thread when basting. Merely start by making two stitches in the same place.
