James said when we later talked of this even- ing's sharp electrical storm. "After this when were away. you should talse better note of the clouds." James had been at Alderlea. with children and helpers working fev- erishly. we suspect. to have every last load saved to complete there the haying before the impending storm should break. it turned out that this race with the weather. while not entirely won by the hu- mans concerned. since an end still remains to be gathered, will in the near future allow the scene'of it. to shut to this place of Rob's. "And you didnt notice the thun- dcrheads, Ellen-and how threat- ening it was to the west?" James asked. ”Well. never mind. you did well. as it happened. It's not pleas- ant to be alone in an electrical storm-I myself don't enjoy it." We found the interlude of storm neither pleasant nor alarming, thouglrlt did present its concerns. Personally we accept such occa- sions with composure. respecting them find observing any known precautions for safety for ourself and those about at. the time. We prefer to be indoors with doors and nindoits closcd. --Tim. our one- timc li.retl man, a happy-go-lucky follow use-cl to lainzh about this and wonder whether it would be easier ”to be killed all at once or smother slowly like this!"

We had gathered the cows from the pasture. expecting momentar- ily the return of the family; won- dering if should clouds not pass in threats as we hoped, perhaps it would be wiser on our part to lcove the herd in the field than to lir;ng them to a stable equipped with water-pipes and whatnot. to our mind. potential conductors of electricity.

We closed the door and sought. quick refuge in the barc feeding-floor beside. The thunder rumbled and crash- ed ominously. the lightning zig- zaggcd on the sky. the rain teemed, to run away in a stream along the barnynrd. And we smiled rue- fully on our perch on it grain-box.

My fiance is a fine person. except for the fact that he can see no harm in small lies, or minor dishoneltlel. Hie lying is uaually.done to put himself in the right-where he insists on being at all times. He also thinks it's very smart to get away with a few pennies on LI purchase. or other financial deal. The funny part of it is, he re- gards himself as scrupulously honest. A "shsdyf' financial transaction l is. to hint, ”clever." lie has been honest enough with me. He brags K a lot. but since I realize it. he isn't exactly putting anything over on me. Other people. of Course, may not take so charitable a view of his extravagant flbs. Do you know of a cure for him? LORA ANSWER: Where is your sense of proportion, Lora. that you can describe an essentially dishon- est person as "fine?" He may be andsome, good company, a splendid dancer. etc., ut if he lies and cheats he most certainly is a. man of low char- acter. YOU CONDONED ACTIONS Chances are, when you first became aware of these rather base traits in your fiance, you thought hey were cute; otherwise I scarcely can see how Surely you must: have condoned them. Now they are beginning to become annoying and i open to question. Can yoti imagine what the next step will be? As those potty disltoncsiics grow and growwns they inevitably must- your rcnrtion uiii hc more and more marked, to the point. where you 1 will utterly despise a man who can be so lacking in honesty and i falrncss, While lies. minor frauds. petty dishonesties. all have their origin l in a desire to show off, to be clever, to "put one over" on the other follow. Cllll you see nnyilling admirable in any one of these qualities? Muriel Nlslen he acquired the status of fiance in your life. lshonor m limp: l””1lliwa5 blmeaml Yet you think your fiiincc a "fine" person! I If you can rorznrd his failings with a little more objectivity, there's a.rlinncc you could offcct a rcforrn. As matters stand now. I think you go along with his idea that there is nothing too wrong in his actions. If you will take a firm stand of disapproval. tell him in no unccrtnin tcrms that be either gives up his smart alecky tricks. or you'll give him tip. you may get, a little sense into his dishonest brain. A good book on moral values would also have a corrective effect. Get l your iuiiiistrr to recommend 0ll('. , , It is truly amazing how many people gleefully cheat a bus com- pany out of a dime, or in chain store out of a dollar. It almost seems to be a challenizerwiih them. Just try stealing a dollar from them, however, and watch the thunder roll. The ultimate effects of cheat- ing and lying. arc, of course. judged in ratio to the amount of harm done, but even if no discernible ill results from a dishonest act. its vcry stccnmplislimcnt has weakened the moral fibre of the perpetrator. As it is. the complwxitios of modern living create enough attacks on our morals; ihnsr: we can avoid should be sedulously by-passed. If your efforts. Lora. fall to reform your fiance. he would not rank very high as a matrimonial risk. You'll probably find yourself living in a continual daze of deccptions and falsehoods. DEAR MISS DIX: For the past three years I have been a widow. My four children are all grown During the last year I have been going with it widower 28 years my senior. I am 49. He never has said anything about getting married, so I finally told him he was taking up my time as I need a home and someone to look after me- not a friend. Was I right? A. H. ANSWER: Since you are definitely looking for H husband and home, you were quite right to send your friend on his way. He un- rloubtedly has no lntt-rcst whatsoever in marrying and you'd be fool- ish to continue twisting your time with him. DEAR MISS DIX: Two weeks ago I wrote to my boy friend who is in the Navy and said I thought we should discontinue writing for a while. I had a few reasons for my decision-religious difference. and the fact that 1'in only 16 and my parents thought I was getting too serious over the boy. Now I feel I made a mistake and though I wrote and apologized, I haven't. heard further from him. JULIET ANSWER: Under the circumstances. you probably are better off leaving the-mattcr where it is. A renewed correspondence now will only increase the tlifficuliics. It will make your friendship more serious than it was before. while still complicated with the religious rind age problems. : 5 That Body Of Your: By James W. Berton. MD. smiina METHOD or DIAGNOSING Lrvea DISEASE Most of us are so interested in. or concerned about, the heartthat we practically ignore the liver. It is true that as far as life itself is concerned the heart is our most im- portant organ. but from the stand- well said that life depends on the liver. As compared with the heart (just a muscle pump), the liver is a very busy organ. It stores sugar. filters the blood, manufactures bile, which bile is nature's purgatlve, and produces a. substance for the formation of the blood. If the liver fails in any of these jobs. than the individual, even with a strong heart and muscular body. does not en- joy good health. There are various methods of testing the condition of the liver. one of which is using a dye by mouth or injection into a. vein and then finding how long it. takes the liver to clear this dye out of the blood. This is called liver function test, the physicians feeling that if the liver tloes this job well, it is doing its other jobs well also. However, there is one method of examining the liver and getting a knowledge of the actual condition of the liver cells. It is called the biopsy test. Biopsy islcutting out a small piece of an organ and exam- ining its cells under a microscope. one method of obtaining o piece of the organ is by use of a certain type of needle which "punches out” enough of the cells for examination. In California Medicine, San Fran- cisco. Drs. W. E. Molle and L. Kap- lan report 401 needle biopsies of the liver of 312 patients and state that needle biopsy provides inform- ation that cannot be readily ob- tained with any other method. The chief reasons for use of needle biopsy are to determine the cause of liver enlargement (liver enlarge- ment. often occurs with a failing heart), to nnd the cause of jaun- dice, to distinguish between malig- nant (cancer) disease and cirrhosis (hardening of the liver). to deter- mine when hepatitis (liver inflam- mation) has subsided and to esti- mate the value or effect of treat- ment given. "At times systemic disease that has not been recognized by other means may be diagnosed by needle biopsy." Thus when examination of liver was made after death. it was found that the correct diagnosis was made by biopsy in 85 per cent of cases. Unfortunately. there are some cases where needle biopsy cannot. be made safely. but in the major- ity of cases this simple method of learning the condition of the liver is available to the physician.
