M.D. We had our lawn mowed this evening by a professional, as at Al- derlea, it has been our custom in recent years. A brawny fellow. who declares he "must walk miles It it in a day" comes in with his power- machine and makes quick shift of the work. His arrival, if James be about, is a signal for the housewives to come to their feet. near I win-- dow, or preferably in the out-of- doors. With any such project it is at least a bad breach of etiquette. for us to pursue for the moment any interest of our own indoors. Every last member of the family is expected to be thoroughly conver-x sant with each successive stage of any farm-endeavours . . . "Cuttingg rafters today. were you?" we observ-E ed to James at supper. merely by: way of making pleasant conversa-, tion. to make our fare more taste-1 ful. if need be. lie all but choked on. L bite.

He says; it in a tone disgusted and grieved. and hopeless. A "this is all very fine while it lasts but I've often seen an end come to lazy practices like this". voice." "Come. Ellen" James will call loudly, "the man to cut the lawn is, here!" We should like as we follow. out doors to drop lazily to the old! stone door-ste to watch the mag-l ic of the moivi g - to view too, the exquisite play of evening shadows, dark and silver and rose on the Pond below.

They're off their appetite. I fancy. Oh. not miserable. but not quite as sharp as they might be for their feed." so; if we only gather ,granddaughter's toys out of the way of the approaching machine. or re- trieve a highly colored ball of youngest grandson's. we are con- tributing to the success of the chore, and proving our interest therein. I I C The spring-planted Spirea is now breaking out into neat blossoms. sweet Peas are catching the trellis. and close by. to be used with these! blooms, a thrifty plant of Babyis Breath is growing. with grand- daughter we awalt eagerly the open- ing of first Shirley Poppies. she planted early in a small plot by ianeside. This is a variety with which we are little acquainted. though we have a visiting garden- er's word for ii. "if you've never grown them before. what Joys you have missed! You throw them in anywhere - and what do you get? -the gayest. friendliest poppies of tgem all!"

Sister to Jeanie. gone now from her native heath to live in Califomla. arrived at her destina- tion recently and safely, after a trip "which contained so much that was strange and different as we continued. it was almost incredible."

If asked what was the greatest problem facing the medical profess- ion today. most of us would say cancer or, perhaps. heart disease. The greatest problem is, however, one for which the medical profess- ion is itself responsible. that is. the lengthening of the lifespan from 47 to 67 years during the past fifty years. In the Chicago number of Medi- cal Clinics of North America. Dr.. Emmett B. Bay, professor of medi- cine. University of Chicago. states, "The number one public health problem in the country today con- cerns the care of the aged. it will increase rather than decrease in the next half century Among the reasons for its importance is the fact that diseases of the heart and blood vessels of one kind or an- other are. by all odds. the leading cause of sickness and death in the nation. "COI'ISlderlI1':-Z the population at birth, about one out of three is going to die of some kind of dis- ease of the heart and blood ves- sels. Of the population at age of 50, about one of two is going to succumb from these ailments. These diseases include such condi- tions as high blood pressure. hard- cnlng of arteries and some of their complications such as coronary ihrombosis, apoplexy. and kidney failure." f' Added to the above is the fact that by the production of penicil- lin and other germ killers. physic- ians have prevented death of old people from pneumonia Now these reople are prevented from dying of pneumonia and left to have long lingering illnesses such as chronic heart failure nnd strokes which may last for years. While the financial problem of 'looklng after the oldcily by the family or even by the state looms very great, the care that must be given them is a strain on the nerves of Hip family also and on the supply of nurses needed. The atrain on the daughter of the in- valid and on the children of the daughter. the grandchildren. makes the household nothing less than a breeding place for fears and anx- ieties in the young. What solutions are suggested for the old-ace problem? Dr. Bay sug- gests that this problem be met in part by more institutions to care for the aged individuals supported by public and private bodies. as there are now for cancer and heart disease. Secondly. instead of put- ting heart patients to bed. many of them could be allowed to walk and report to the hospital for ex- amination at definite times. This might apply in particular to pat- ients who have had only one at- tack of coronary thrombosis. YT gHousehold Scrapbook E t N0 By Roberta.

For Tomorrow A B-RIGHT idea. a sudden in- spiration in rather spectacular lines, may change a static or men- aced situation into most prolific ichanncls. constructive and funda- mental in scope and objectivity. Thu unexpected development may accelerate the mind into entirely new channels - radical and cre- ative -. along untried or experi- mental lines. However. there might be financial risk in promotion. There could be dlssenslon, dis- agreements. For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is. while having a spectacular year. with new adventures. interests and contacts, are advised to protect themselves and their original ideas or plans from dlssension. fraud, deception or litigation. The judg- ment in this respect is not reliable and could be steered into danger- ous connections by the novelty or excitement of some revolutionary idea or discovery.

Sally. whose husband, raid, in one of the moat gen- eroul people I ever knew. When he make: friends. he makes broth- ers and sisters, moms and dads of them. If he hears of Iomeonmln financial difficulties he is ready with I helping hand and put: more food in their home: than they ever had before. He brings gifts to - . v- everyone he visits. When he and his wife go out. they delight in taking with them people who other- wise would never get out of the house. Every- one's problems are his. He does this to the point of depriving his fam- ily of clothes and luxuries. His wife goes along with his plans as long as that is what makes him happy. Regardless of the faith or nationality of people in trouble, he is there to help. -y l I have told him they are just making easy .2-.. marks of themselves. There is such A thing- as carrying this too far. Don't you think his first duty is to see that his family in the best dressexand has the best home in town? Their home is a friendly and lovin one. his wife and children are adored by him. He has a good Job. makes a good salary but doesn't have A cent in the bank. His wife says they have their health and get pleasure in doing what they can for others. I think if they keepiup at the rate they're goinl. People won't appreciate their kindness and will soon take them for granted.AMY ANSWER: You are very lucky to have such people for friends. Perfect charity is one of the rarest virtues in the world, and Judging from your description these folks have it. TRUE SELFLESSNESS Many people will be generous with money. but those who Wlll give of their time and attention are few indeed. The family of your friends may not be the best dressed in town. nor their home the finest, but they are clothed with the glow of true love-love of one's fellowmen-and housed in a mansion of selflessness that millions of dollars alone couldn't buy. It is possible that people will take such generosity for granted. and eventually take advantage of it. In fact. it is impossible to as- sume that everyone is grateful for a helping hand; the truth is that many are not, but we can't penalize those who are truly needy and sincerely grateful for the few ingrates. y I do agree with you that your friends should make some pro- vision for their own future. As with all things. a happy medium be- tween liberality and penury would here be the ideal slate of life. Mn. Wat-an Pack. Bod: River. NS. fan consistent u... of i'lclnehInnnn'u Yeast.
