Pills have been on the | years ago after being up all night with one of the children during sick- neas, It was dragged terrified out upon a stage 0 play the ieading role in a tragedy | at which the audience would laugh. | The unbelievable drama of her whole | lite flashed before her. She shrank | from the spectacle as she might have | from a hanging, or a brutal and un- i familiar scene of crime, in which she | had no part. Her body trembled | with actual cold. She had been so | unfitted for the role that life had | chosen for her--no more fitted than Lind. She had been so unshaped for the burden that had never known a moment's easing. In her heart she cried out for eternal release from the still crueller consequence of her impulse, the punishment that Caleb had in store--the carrying out of his threat that fell upon her mind Hke an awful gong sounded at regular Intervals. After a few minutes, her mind be- came clearer. She had seen Mark Jordan. He was a man of the world, perhaps his friends were people who commanded respect and looked upoyp him with respect. Who was she, a common farm woman, to know what his life was or what it demanded of him? His face was proud, sensitive. He must never know, 8he wonld break under Caleb rather than have him know, Caleb's children could | wither and fall like rotten plants after froet---everything could fall in- to dissolution. He was his father's | son, Mark Jordan, the son of the only man she had ever loved. Ellen, Martin, Judith and Charlie, they were only the offspring of Caleb Gare, they could be the sacrifice. She would bend and inure them to the land lke implements, just as Caleb wished her to do. She would not in- tercede in their behalf hereafter. She would see them dry and fade in- to fruitlessness and grow old long before their time, but her heart would keep within itself and there would be no pity in her for the de- struction of their youth. Amelia's face grew pale and hard as she knelt fn the garden. A distinot change had come over her. ~ She carried the blanket indoors, thinking that it would be unneces sary to cover the tomatoes that night. The air seemed visible and in- timate, as before rain. Her eyes wandered to the fields of tame hay and rye-grass that lay beyond the sheep pasture. There would be a tremendous yield this year. Always before, the sight of growth had somehow thrilled her, had struck a vital, creative chord within her that was otherwise left unsounded in this barren life. Now her mind was dull- od by the sight of it. Growth----with death in its wake. She felt that in an instant her life had reached final ! ity, that all the years behind her had been spent in a chrysalis, In a bhe- | inning. There had been nd develop- | ment in between--only a beginning { and an end, . She went indoors and began energetically to polish the stove with a blackened cloth. . . * Before long Amelia returned to her old pale manner of self-efface- ment and submission, and the at- mosphere on th¢g Gare farm became normal once more to Lind's percep tion. The place was holding breath again after a quiet exhala- tion. Feeling that what had disturbed Amelia was at least for the present lulled, Lind approached her one day with a question. Mrs. Gare was gath- ering eggs in the barn mangers, and, since it was Saturday morning, the Teacher had undertaken to "help her. "Mrs. Gare, Mark Jordan would like very much to come here to ses me, and to meet you people as well. Do you think Mr. Gare would like to have him call?" Amelia was prepared for just such fa iv, § 7 £2 te iif as If ehe bad been | its |, g | children, Mise Archer, end stir up trouble. Mr. Jordan would talk about things that we can't afford to think about." "Well, then," said Lind, "will you permit Judie to come with me to see Mm? He is ving there all alone and I think it would be kind to cook a £00d meal for him, now and then." Amelia glanced wt her, and looked away quickly. "Judith might make an errand over that way, but don't speak of it before her father." Mark Jordan should have what he wantited, ehe resolved, "Ill be careful not to, Mrs. Gare," Lind said gratefully. She groped about in the hay and came upon an- other drown egg, which she placed | carefully in the pan with the others. | The feeling of conspiracy against Caleb was rather enjoyable. + She 'took the eggs to the house, and then went to the potato patch where Judith was absently hoeing between the rows, The sun was beating down upon the xirl's bare head and on the strong honey-brown nape of her neck. A hot, dusty wind was stirring the tops of the dry po- tato plants. A little groove of dust had formed on either side of Judith's nose, and there were gray filaments of dust on the hair of her fore- arms. She crossed her arms and leaned forward on the hoe as Lind came up to her. "A 1ittle romance, Judie," sald softly. supper to-morrow night with Mark Jordan--the man you eaw me with at Yellow Post." Judith frowned. To-morrow wae Sunday. On Sundays Caleb usually went to the farm of one of the Ice- landers 1m the afternoon, and did not returm until late in.the even- ing. "Ma say I could go?" Lind told her what Amelia had said. Judith was silent for a mo- ment and then decided to confide in the Teacher to an extent. "Wil you let Sven come?" "Why , that would be fine! We'll have a real party. If only EMlen and Martin could get away too. They never have any fun." "No," said Jude with conviction. "They wouldn't enjoy themselves. Anyway, they mustn't know that Sven is going to be there--at least Ellen mustn't. Sven want me to marry him, Lind, and go away to town." Lind looked at her quietly for a moment. A change had come over the girl during the past few days. She was not so boisterous in her care of the animale, nor so defiant toward the human beings on the farm as she had been. "And shall yon?" "Yes--before long. others know." ¢ Lind slipped away and Judith went on with her hoeing. She cast a re- sontful eye over the long rows of potatoes. Food for another winter --another winter of stumbling about in the bleak, icy dawn and tugging at stubbon calves and hauling icicle- rimmed buckets full of water through mauure and frozen mud. Another winter of inhibition and growing restiveness, and hopeless dreaming of a better time to come, 'Another winter under Caled Gare « + » .no, anything else was pre- ferable. Lind Don't let the As the work on the farm grew and grew, Judith was struggling to see her way clear to liberty. Covertly she watched Ellen and Amelia and Martin, even Charlie now that he was learning to take his place, and saw them all bowing without a Auestion under the stupefying load. And she recognized in herself an alien spirit, a violent being of dark impulses, in no way related to the life about her. She. was alternately seized with an agony of pity for Amelia, whose reticence she could not fathom, and futile rage et Ellen and Martin for their endur- ance. And beneath it all her pas- sion for Sven pressed through her being like an undercurrent of fire, She lay awake at night with hot cheeks, 'thinking of him. , . .of the day in the clearing among the cedars. . running her fingers over the muscles of his throat. Caleb had not found out that Lind had brought the cart home that day. She had not seen Sven since they had fought, had not wished to see him. She had need of an interim in which to think. «Aber another hour's work, Judith, looking up, saw Martin entering the gate from the pasture with three cows that were about to calve.

The teeth as they make their |} appearance should he kept scrupul- ously clean, and cavities should be filled as soon as they appear, mo matter what the age of the child is. Parents make the common mistake of saying: it doesn't matter. They will lose these baby teeth anyway." There are a dozen reasons why it does matter, and very serious ones too. We will not stop to consider these now, but may retura to them later. Parents have a very great respon- sibility in the care of their children. Not only in their moral weifare bat in their physical welfare; and the one is not divorced from the other. They go hand in hand. We have been making the mistake of dividing lite up into sections instead of 'consider- ing it as a unit, and the inter-rela- tion of all its parts. Excuse this little digression which is not irrelevant, and we will pro- ceed with the subject, "Diet in Re- lation to the Teeth." I am going to make use of a paper read before the Academy of Dentistry, Toronto, March, 1926, by Percy R. Howe, D.D.S., Boston. With apologies to Dr. Howe I will proceed without us- ing quotation marke; and will abridge, as far as possible, so as not to take up too much of your valu- able space. Throughout all specialities in me- dicine today there is a growing ten- dency to return to a closer study of the fundamental processes of the body. No specialty has bedn r to recognise this need than dentistry. Certainly there is no more funda- mental process than that of the con- version of the raw material of the diet into tissue. It is in this process that life itself depends. Following the feeding of faulty diets to ani- mals, we find tissue changes in var- fous parts of the body, such as the eyes, the digestive system, fhe ner- vous system, and in the bones and in the teeth. On the other hand, animals that are fed on normal diet grow well, reproducé well, are ex- tremely resistant to infections, and their organs are found to be in a state of health. The evidence that the diet is of fundamental import- ance In health is conelusive. Methods of food preservation have reached a high stage of perfection, yet in all preserved foods certain elements are lost or their potency greatly diminished. Also many im- portant elements are either extracted or destroyed during the various cook Ing processes to which all of our food is subjected. Owing to the cha- racter of our food preparations, per- verted appetites are created, and 'in consequence foods are usually select- ed for their taste or appearance; without regard to their nutritance value, 80 that the common phrase that we "live to eat," instead of eat- ing to live, has some element of truth in it. There is no lack of food material, but a plethora, hence the need of a sufficient knowledge of the effects of various foods to enable us to intelligently seleet such as will give us health and sound teeth. Diseases of the teeth relate espec- fally to the subject of mineral me- tabolism. Note: Metabollam is a biological process by which on the one hand the food is built into living matter, and by which on the other hand the living matter is broken down into simpler products within the cell, or organism. It is the sum of the con- structive and destructive processes. Ad extended study indicates that there are many things which may 'influesice mineral metabolism and hence caleipitation of the téeth. In our next article we will cone sider food selection. 3 8. A. AYKROYD. Kingston, April 25th. LYNDHURST LADIES' AID.
