James had come to join us at supper. straight from the farmers’_currcnt interest of gathering Rob’: supply of fuel-wood to a distant one of the Alderlea fields, which brings the scene of it not far front us here . . . Our main dish was an oven-cooked one, that took in beef and potatoes, slivers of turnip and carrots, and out of respect to Ro-b's taste. we omitted the onion, with which this cook would ordin- arily potnt the flavor. He is one who can find nothing to commend either onions or tomatoes as taste- ful foods. and it is surprising to find many another who shares this nation. 0 O D We recall when a visiting farm- er sat at table with us. in the harvest-time. back in those years when ripe “love-applés" were looked upon with some suspicion as an article of food other than when cooked to make a relish or pickle. He hesitated when James offered him slices of these in their most delectable state. raw. red. and to our minds exceedingly ap- petizing. “I'll try one slice," he said. "I'm one that can try any- thing once!" and we were amused over the surprise that was ex- pressed on his face after the ad- venture. “Well.” he commented, “I downed it! But to tell you the truth of it. like garlic. a little of that would go a long way with me!" O O 0 Strange thing that it is. we no- tice the children here have added their father’s dislikes in foods to their own. for no reason at all. other than to follow an example. At Alderlca. we have no pro- nounced dislikes though our tarni- ers are more partial to some. For our dessert, with James as our guest. we enjoyed plums of Karolyn's canning. that came out whole and in an ingratiating bur- gundy shade. A white cake of this afternoon's baking was given added vitamins by the addition of raisins — a floured layer spread mid-way in the pourlngs of bet- ter. and made favored eating. It comes to mind now that at this house no mixing bowl goes beg- ging for want of someone to col- lect and enjoy the clinging tid- bits. Nor can there be found a more appreciative recipient than the alert three-year-old. that of late has been our companion in many an endeavour. O I C “And now." James suggested putting aside his after-supper pipe. and Jamie his reader “what. do you say if we go down to the stable and have a spell brushing those fattening cattle of yours?" it was an agreeable suggestion. There is something fascinating about be- ing abroad in the night hours. Jackets and boots were put on in a twinkling and it was two com- panionable follows, one a harne- sake of the other, that well pleas- ed with the turn of events that oilfcred them this hour, went out to the chore — James is away along the dim. foggy fields now. and Jamie to a well-earned rest. C O O with James. we find much of interest and delitht in theee small ones. and it was with regret we heard on this evening's news of the passing of a wee maid of two years. So bonny they are then. and precious. but often “not ours —only lent." This Alprll month. we remember, in taking a toll of loved one.s—old and .especied friends of the years and younger. as well. leaving this world lonely to those of us that are older. but another better known.

This pioneer mill con- sisted of two stones pounding or rubbing together. worked by hand, and grinding at one opera- tion enough wheat to last a fam- ily for a single day. The first mill of this kind is supposed to have been made by Peter McNair, a Scotch shepherd, who brought his wife and family to Prince Edward Island to settle in Belfast. .The grain was placed on the flat surface of the upper stone and passed to the lower atone through a large eye. near the spot where the spindle worked. Through this eye a hand-apiko could be driven and the mill carried from one farm to smother: if desired. Thchneighibors usually brought their grain to Peter's however. When the day's work was ended and lingering shadows stretched across the pioneer homes, the big Highlanders appeared each with a little sack of grain in his hand. Each in turn had his grist turned into coarse meal while current events were discussed. Then they went home with enough flour for a week's bread. The process of grinding worked something like this: Once the grain passed from the upper to the lower stone. the miller took hold of the spindle and turned it so as to cause the stone to rotate. By this process of grinding. the grain made its way from the centre and poured out in the state of flour near the rim. These milling stones are still used in remote parts of Ireland and Orkney: and Shel-lands. 0 I 0 With such primitive implements of milling flour. one can readily see that milling was at first a domestic industry. The millatones were a part of a families‘ furnish- ings and the ancient law forbade anyone taking them for de«bt.“‘No man shall take the upper or the nether millstone to pledge: for he iaketh a man's life to pledge."

New York as recorded in “General Practice Clinics." Dr. James J. Smith, Dir- ector of Research on Alcoholism. Department of Medicine. New York University. While many of us have believed that alcoholism was due to some- thing ‘*missing" in the aicoholic's make-up. we thought of it as an unbalanced nervous or emotional condition. Dr. smith states: "Our laboratory and clinical studies of alcoholics during the past several years have convinced us that alco- holism is a metabolic (gland) dis- ease." Azlthough the signs and symptctrns of alcoholism point to a "behavior" disturbance. this be- ha.vlour disturbance was not the disease itself but merely a symp- tom of an underlying metaibollc (gland) process. The glands Dr. Smith and his associates blame for alcoholism arc the adrenal glands situated one on top of each kidney. Exhaus- tlon of these two glands. resulting in an insufficient supply of adren- all juice in the blood, so lowers the resistance power of tile body that something seems needed by the al- coholic to make up for this loss of adrenal extract. These research workers found that in delirium tresnens, the final stage in niche]- ism, there was a change in the chemistry of the blood similar to that found in Add.lson'a disease. particularly a decrease in the sugar and salt of the blood. Accordingly. they studied the "behavior" of 18!!) male alcoholics. From this study it appears that there is. a certain constitutional type of in- dividual who becomes an alcoholic. or problem drinker.

Easter is a happy time, and with the glad Easter story we have beautiful flowers in our worship services. and all through the ages flowers, have been grown for this purpose. St. Phoces was the patron Saint of gardening and he lived in the third century. The greater par: of his life was spent in his garden just outside the city of Slnopc in Pontus. What part of his waking hours was not spent in prayer was devoted to his garden. in which he grew vegetables for the poor and flowers for children and the sick. ’ April is the month of rain and running water. and there are changes in the garden every day. There was a good deal of freezing and thawing in the Winter months and -some losses will be found if there was not perfect drainage.l think this is the most important part of gardening. Living on a sunny slope and gardening there, the Winter losses are very few in this garden even through the toughest season. If your garden needs drainage it is possible to make good drainage by digging out the soil and filling in with stones or other suitable material. 0 O Panaies were picked in this garden in March in a sunny corner of the house, it is true that a broken window pane covered the plants. but there they were!. a bit sad looking and of a blue color. Small bunches were picked the latter part of December so only in the colder months of January and February out of the twelve months of the year we did not find pansies or heartsease as they were called in the long ago. My summer's supply of seeds have arrived, annuals. biennials. and perennials, all of the hardy varieties, these will be planted in the open ground in a few weeks as this is the easiest method for me. The tuberous begonias have been potted up in their perman- ent summer containers and they will not require anything more except care in watering and stak- ing. the potting mixture is of a rich porous nature and it was gathered and stored in the cellar last fall. New bulbs can be plant- ed until June and they will be successful. though blooming later in the summer. 0 O C I received one of my nicest lei- ters from an Island lady who is wintering in Halifax. and in her letter she describes her mother's garden in the Eastern part of the island. a garden with many rare and unfamiliar shrubs to me, a tree of the Ja-ponica family about twelve feet high with heart-shap- ed leaves on branches right to the ground and feathery blooms creamy to white. The Laburnum Golden Chain. a small tree-like shrub with green bark and foil- age like exaggerated clover leaves, flowers are pure golden. yellow and formed like those of Wisteria. it is a very beautiful shrub.

Perhaps theae youngsters should not be con- sidering marriage now, but they are. so isn't it bet- ter to advise them concerning it than to lsulh it off ‘ and have them suddenly pop up some day with a marriage license. utterly ignorant of how to make the most and but of the occupation which they have suddenly chosen for thernséivrcqsfn ANSWER: These are words of wisdom which I commend to the consideration of parents, and especially to those parents who regard the puppy love affairs of their children as a merry jest instead of the very real danger that they are. For no one can tell when these un- sophisticated infants are going to take it into their heads to set mar- ried. And Mother and Father are shocked and horrified. But the deed is done. Mamie and Tommy are married, and the fault is largely their parents’ because they never taught their youngsters anything about marriage. HAVE FALSE IDEA They let their children get their ideas of marriage from novels and movies which entirely ignore the responsibilities and hardships and sacrifices that are an inevitable part of it. Certainly it would keep many a boy from rushing precipitateiy into marriage if he had been taught from his babyhood up that no man has a right to ask a woman to marry him until he can provide for her. and that when he marries he must make his own nest and not expect his father and mother to share theirs with him. And it. would keep many a girl from marrying in her teens if she had been taught by her mother that her parents would expect her to be a good sport and stand by her bargain instead of rushing off to the divorce court the minute she found out that marriage meant sacrifice and hard work instead of aOHlII'ICO~ For my part.

MISS DIX: My son and his wife have lived with me ever since their marriage several years ago. He is my only child. all I have in the world. and I cannot hear the thought of his leaving me. He always comes to me with his difficulties in business matters and tells me that I come first in his life. His \vife is not.as appreciative as she might be and is not always in the best of humor. Now don't you-think I am doing right by keeping my son with me as long as I can? Motrtilllt. ANSWER: No. I think that you are doing a very great wrong. not only to your son‘: wife. but to your son himself. You are ruining his life. because you are wrecking his. marriage. You are separating him from his wlfe,.because you are coming be- tween them. And even if the marriage dosn't end in divorce-—as it probably will-—you will have made it one of those accursed Intake of marriage that are nothing but on endurance test. Every marriage is a failure in which the wife does not come first with the husband. If he does not love her better than anybody rise in the world. better even than his mother: if he does not go to her for sympathy. for advice, for understanding, it simply means that he is not getting the companionship out of marriage that he hoped for. And if the husband turns to his mother instead of his wife; if he depends upon his mother instead of upon his wife: if mother comes first, then marriage is an utter «allure to the wife. and she is filled with e jeaiouay,thet eats out her very soul. So it you have.for your son that love that makes you put his happi- ness above your own. youswili not want to be first with him. You will abdlcate the throne in favor of his wife. and you-will send them oft to live by themselves so that they will have to depend on each other anti have a chance to grow together. DEAR MISS DIX: G. B. D. ANSWER: It is the unsolved mystery of life. No man knows why he loves. nor why he ceases to love. No man can force himself to love. or refrain from loving. It is so strong. that it: can survive all things and so frail that it can perish with a breath. and. once dead. no power can revive it. It has no reason for its existence and no explanation for its end. It is. and it is not. and that is all we know about it. DOROTHY Dix cannot reply personally to . dare. but will ane- wer ,.
