.Womainfs Realm.. eMid-Morning Coffee I pity the poor underprivileged children who never enjoy the plusant habit some thoughtful parents begin at an early age with their youngsters-that of reading to them before they turn into bed. The humour of A. A. Milne these children know and love. and to a four-year-old it is a serious question just who is the funnier Pooh or Piglet. Tiger, or 1100. Even Kenneth Graeme's Mr. Toad of the "Wind in the Willow," can become a much of the weird characters found in a more interesting person than any comic book or a Grade B movie. Re:-dlns aloud to a younger member of the family should not be con- fined to bed time alone.

If ym.i're wondering why it is your watch keeps slowing down lately. don't blame it on the "flu" Just because you feel that way yourself;' instead consider for a moment that it might be your best perfume. True, true. it is fine French perfume, Lavin, Marcel Roche. perhaps! But that is not what is meant. The Swiss have discovered. so the Peterborough Examiner says editorially, that watches are strongly influenced by perfume. and that the scent of a rose will slow up a balance wheel as much as 50 per cent. Which suggests to the Peterborough pa- per that watches are basically male objects. or in a harsher tone. they say it also confirms their rus- sertion that some of the more popular perfumes of the day Would stop a clock.

The smaller the waistline. the longer the 1”9' line. declared Dr. Gayelord Haus- er, U. 5. author, at a Women's Canadian Club luncheon last week in Toronto. In his talk based on an experience of more than 30 year; in nutritional research he described some of his dietary ideas which have won him an en- thusiastic following of moilon pic- tu;-, stars and other celebrities. His research. he said. began at the result of a serious illness declar- ed hopelegg by medical science. He recovered by following a carefully balanced diet. For those who want to remain young. especially for mlddleaged and older people. he recommended a non-fat diet with plenty of proteins and the necessary vitamins to strengthen bone and muscle and rebuild lis- sue. Powdered skim milk, molas- ses, brewer's yeast and whea: germ he claimed were the best foods to fortify the daily diet. which should consist of lean meat. eggs, fish, plenty of fresh vorte- tables and fruits. and especially salads. if he were asked to choose a day's menu for President Tru- man and Joseph Stalin he would give Truman for breakfast two fresh eggs. rye bread. coffee made in the modern manner. "not boil- ed and never made with water out of the hot water faucet." a glass of vegetable juice about 10 a. m. for lunch a cottage- cheese, tongue or chicken salad. whole wheat toast and fresh fruit; for dinner. salad liver or fish. baked potato and apple pie top- ped with lemon or orange peel. To Stalin he would give pork sausages. fried meat, white bread. all the fat he wants, coffee, the longer boiled the better at every mcal. and never a frcsh hit of vegetable or fruit all the day long." This week will see the first of the I-lomecraft Sales at the Mar- ket Building. This idea which belongs to a Charlottetown wo- man. formed by ihe interested and determined efforts of Charlottetown and rural women will bring new life to the ancient skills of booking. sewing. and baking. bringing the industry of making and selling back again to the present agricultural centre. 0 I The women hope these sales will heip,them learn how to han- die consignments. They have or- ganized committees for sewing, handicrafts, home-cooking, etc, and now have a provisional sec- retary and treasurer. who are working hard .on. the project.

And it was not a lambkin James welcomed this morning but s parcel of crows in dark flight along a near bill. "And isn't it strange, Ellen?" he looked up from his plate at dinner to comment "though we haven't much use for them most of the year. we welcome a sight of them now. . . thei-e're a sort of guarantee of spring. Not that they hurry it, but. . . they're . A promise.. The country reminds one of Spring to- day - the weather so mild again and the fields almost bate of snow. There's no doubt about it. Ellen. this has been a great Win- ter. I never saw better - not in my recollections. Not a day that we can't. get our work done - no depth of snow to hinder it." With granddaughter snug be- side us on a rug on the wood- sleigh and behind the new mare we rode with the farmers this afternoon as far as Rob's - on their way to their lumbering. It was a pleasant outing for both. We skirted fences taking advan- tage of the lingering patches of snow for our sleighlng along the fields. we climbed the slight rise where the new land is now being levelled by the action of Winter's legion - the frost and snow, the wind and rain. And above our heads, they guessed "We must cultivate this as soon as Spring opens - before we touch any other piece of land. The earlier the better." And when we won- dered about the returns from the first crop, it was James who has brought many virgin aores into production in his day of farming, surveying the area about who said: tweli. if we don't get much this year, there'll be other years to come!" we must stop on the way, to watch the younger farm- er re-bait. a trap to catch a prey- ing fox, and also in the same vi- cinity, not far from a woodsy piacepdismantle a length of rail- fence ,venerable in its years, to allow teams more direct passage to the other farm. 0 0 At Rob's a young lad, at the moment glumbing the depths of a puddle with new rubber boots. looked up at the visitors with a welcoming smile and then briskly conducted them on a tour of stables and plggery. we smiled when a recent assertion of Jame.s' came to mind. "You'd be surpris- ed, Ellen." he observed "how much that young lad of Rob's knows!" we were, and amused at his know- ;ledge. "That calf?' he looked up somewhat scornfully at us, "No. Daddy didn't buy her at all! She came... ." He stopped shyly then, realizing all at once that his guests belonged to a gentler sex than that which he was accustom- ; hlamuW.lutc'I.I.D., &ii& PIYIIOAL IXAMINATION 01' NBUIOFIIC PATIENT ll MOST IMIOITANT when a patient is referred to V! psychiatrist because of odd bsha ior symptoms. the psycbiatiat first wants to know what the physician referring the patient found, what reports from dentist. nose and throat, heart and other specialists are available. The patient knows all these reports are available. In discussing the symptoms with the patient. the physician can casually or forcibly remind the patient that certain of his 83019101713 Hall” be due to what the patient be- lleves them to be bocsusc Dr. Blank and other specialists found the organ or organs to be normal. In the treatment of psychoneu- rosis, the physician or plychillflst first allows the patient to tell his story without asking him too many questions, which might make him lose the thread. It is of the utmost knportance that the patient feel at ease and that he be given the time and op- portunlty to "talk himself out." Being allowed to tell his story and get everything off his mind is called catharsis or clearing out the brain. just as a cathartic causes clearing out of the lower bowel. As the patient unfolds the story of his life and of his illness he will mention various circumstances of his childhood. and of recent days. much will netp the psychiatrist to discover the conflict that has most to do with his emotional illness or neurosls. Dr. Edward A. Strecher. University of Pennsylvania, states that the physical examination should never be casual but always thorough. The examination is really part of the treatment, an important part for three reasons: (1) Somatic (body) illnesses such as foci or points of infection (teeth, tonsils, gums. sinuses) may be uncovered as it is important to remove these infections and treat any illness present. (2) A thorough examination has an excellent sug- gestion effect on the patient and weakens his belief that some underlying disease process has been overlooked. (3) Unless the physician has made a rea.sona.bl.v complete examination. he will scarcely be in a position later on to meet the fears of the patient as to the reasons for various symp- toms he feels. of which the pat- ient does not know. By this thorough examination- the complete story as told by the patient. and from what he can learn from the patlent's family. the physician is able to decide on the course of treatment and whe- ther he can carry it out in his office or should refer the patient to a mental hospital. ed to trail. "Han" he said dimp- ling, "Thereis her mother! she's freshened, and so has that one. And" he looked at granddaughter so that she might be impressed with the importance of his words.

A copy can be secured by sending a post- card to the Forest Nursery R.R. 5 Obarlottetown and you will be do- lighied with this list and the prices asked for the lovely plants of all varieties. This Nursery is t.hsigen- erous gift to this Province of Rob- ert L. Cotton. He had a vision of a beautiful Island. . . . The Garden of the Gulf. and his gift will make it possible for everyone to help in this worthy uncbertsklna. Pines have been planted bu this growth -has been rapid. On the first page of the list is the following. . . "Every farmer on Prince Edward Island has a place on his farm where he can start to make a good woodlot by planting pines even if it is only 100 trees per year. It is a good investment for future lumber purposes. also as a wind break and to help conserve moisture. We all know that the water lev- els in our wells are lowering, this being due to the fact that too much of our lands has been denuded of trees allowing all of the moisture in the form of snow or rain to ev- aporate too quickly in the Spring. In planting trees, remove the sod and dig the hole wide and deep enough so that the roots are spread out and not cramped. After the roots are in the hole. cover with soil and tramp well. If water is av- ailable before the hole is filled. pour some water in the hole over the roots so as to settle the soil and avoid air pockets, then fill up in the level of the surrounding ground and tramp it down so as to form a depression; this will al- low any rain to run down around the roots. The same procedure ap- plies to the planting of shrubs. Never allow the roots of trees or shrubs to be exposed to the sun or wind during planting opera- tions. Carry them in a bucket or keep them covered with old sack- ing. and plant as soon as possible in the Spring when the ground is fit to work. in the Nursery we are not as concerned with a large top as we are with having a gocd compact root system, so all trees have to be moved every two years so as to have a compact mass of fibrous roots, instead of a straggly root system that you find on small trees growing wild hi the fields. It takes about 1.300 pines to plant an acre six feet apart in the rows. We recommend the Red Pine for planting -here but for those that prefer them, we have white Pine. Don't let your cagttle pasture in your woodlot as they will destroy all the young seedhirigs; keep your woodlot fenced.
