January lltb at 3 pm. Mrs. Putnam, the President. welcomed Mrs. Prowse, wife of His Honour the Lieutenant Gov- ernor, who had graciously con- sented to accept the position of Patroness of the Guild. The Pre- sident also voiced t.-be regrets of the meeting at the absence of many through illness, especially the Honorary President Mrs. Bartlett, and later, in a clever address thanked the members for their kindness to her during her five year term of office. She com- piimented them on the importance and occvpe of their work for the Prince Edward Island Protestant Orphanage and for the Queen Mary Maternity Home, and urged them to still further activities. The treasurer, Mrs. Smallwood reported a substantial bank bal- ance after the able donations deducted. The Secretary, Mrs. Cosn brought greetings from the Hon- . orary President and read many in- . .'.'.'hat a coincidence! David Love of Tampa.

Charlottetown Branch most warmly for their continued interest in the work of the Guild and their unselfish work for far away London, when they have so many local and Canadian charities crying out foi help-particularly this year with the great distress caused by the floods in,Winnipeg all Canadians must have felt that their first call was to help sufferers from the floods-so Queen Mary is greatly touched that in spite of all calls and claims upon the members of the Charlottetown Branch they have once again been so kind as to send this much appreciated contribution from Her Majesty's Guild. Queen Mary will be glad if you will convey her grateful thanks in all contributors.

WHAT IS THE COMMON. COLD ? Because the" common cold af- fects more individuals than any other one ailment. not excepting rheumatism, we read more about it in medical journals and news- papers today than ever before. in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Arthur L. Bloomfield, Stanford University. San Francisco, states that both patients and P11yS1C1!m5 are giving too much thought to the use of antihistamine drugs. The llistflmine manufactured by the patient renders him more likely to suffer with colds, just as histamine is believed to be the underlying cause of allergy (being sensitive to certain substances such as food. feathers. pollen. dust). While there is no question but that antihistamine drugs helps ai- lergic patients, it is not definitely proved that they ward off or shorten the period of the common old. C The common cold has definite characteristics. (1) The patient must be perfectly well before the onset of the cold. and (2) he must have no chronic nose disorder which can be aggravated and so confuse physician and.patient. with these two underlying con- ditions present, there must also be the following characteristics or symptoms. (1) A constitutional or body reaction-tiredness, chilliness, dullness. aching-often occurring several hours before the "real" or organic symptoms appear. (2) In some cases, slight fever. (3) Local burning in the nose. discomfort or dryness of the mouth, throat and bronchial tubes. These symptoms may start anywhere in nose and throat. (4) Discomfort spreading p or down during a period of a ow days. (5) In some cases no signs of disturbance in nose and throat in early stage. (ii) Disease lasting about five to seven days unless complications arise. That is, the cold itself disappears with- in the week but there may be tiredness, raw nose or throat. or dry cough. (7) No increase in white uus,. l which help fight on infections. such as is present in other diseases of nose and throat. What about treatment of the common cold? The common cold is going to run its course of five to seven days. no matter what treatment is given. But pneumonia. b.onchopneu- mania. pleurisy. and oven tuber- culosis. may be wardcd off by rest. warmth. and the use of quiet- lng drugs in some cases. - .GNMff gg Cook's Corner g l 2 cups brown sugar 1 cup white sugar N cup mill: it cup corn syrup or cream 1 isblsvpoon butt! 1 teaspoon vanilla Nuts may be added. ilotinod: -Melt. butter. add sugar, milk and corn syrup. ltlr but not fire until it reaches the boiling not cook until candy forms,-s sun in cold water t. .

There may be a lei-down of stknulated energicsfan indiffer- ence. because of setbacks. delays or other forms of discouragement. Postpone willingly. For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is, may be keyed up to an enthusiastic and optimistic determination to force ahead in a. concrete and construc- tive manner. But since there may be delays, obstacles. want of. co- operation or encouragement. it may be wise to move cautiously. not to force issues at this time. A child born onthis day. may find itself pulled hither and yon. its impulses and inclinations easily discouraged or turned toward de- feat and postponement. Day Ame Tomorrow The astrological forecast is for starting off the day on a. high note of optimism, confidence, eagerness to go forth on a definite program for a holiday of enjoyment or real purpose in promoting important deals or ambitions. Yet it is prob- able that a false move. mistaken judgment, or blunder. may nip cherished hopes and wishes in the bud. An erratic gesture. or other unpredictable event coulud disrupt programs. For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is, may start off the year with high hopes and wishes for ,..omof.io., expan- sion, growth, the reward of merit and clever preparation assured. However. the mentality may be confused. erratic. or easily influ- enced by unexpected factors or strange developments or contacts with peculiar persons with revolu- tionary ldeas. It may be difficult to hold to plans or ideals. A child born on this-day. has ax- callent talents. contacts for progress. success and happiness. but this may be ness- : tiva by an erratic or confused mentality. subject to strmgc influ- A ences or contacts.

MORE TROUBLE THAN SHE'S WORTH At Alderlea, as we review this week, it is to find that it has been one which afforded the farmers spells off from their choring to en- joy the thrills and general excite- ment which invariably attends the sale and purchase of live-stock. It is easily apparent that they de- rive various pleasurable sensa- tions from this. There is suspense. ("Are we asking enough? Are we paying too much?") Humor too. perhaps only enjoyed by the mute housewives. Or maybe it is pathos. Leacock, whimsical and gifted w-riter sometimes found that "hu- mour is blended with pathos, till the two are one and represent as they have in every age, the mingl- ed heritage of tears and laughter that is our lot on cart. ." I I 0 But the latter was clearly ob- vious in a parting this week. That evening, when he who for some years has been an integral part of the team - "the bi-g horse", went out by truck to his doom and re- lease. The family watched quietly, the wee lad and the housewives sharing a window while grand- daughter viewed it closer at hand. Standing at the gateway to see the last of horse and machlhep as it passed out of sight beyond the hill-top. Then hand in hand with her grandfather. silently turned away. He had been a noble and faithful animal. but due to a mis- ery which would not yield to treatment had reached the un- timely end of his days.

Also he finds out that while it was thrilling to comfort i Pretty girl Who.was weeping on the third button of his vest, there is mlghiy little kick in having to deal with a wife who is a chronic weeper. and who is always pickled in brine about something or other that has gone wrong. Likewise'. it is borne in upon him that sensitive ness is an alibi for-temper and selfishness. and that evcry..time ha asserts a. few natural rights he has to give in, or else be drawn” in salt water. 4 Of course. there are lots of other qualities in women that iool good before marriage and ,not so good afterward. Beautiful dressing and grooming. for instance. that are not so enticing when you have to pay the bill. Vlvacity when you would like to stay at home and read a new book instead of stepping out every evening to" places of amusement. Domesticity after you have got fed up on a wife who smells of bread and butter and who has no lntirest outside of her own home. And on and so on.
