He was always gengrous with money, but there. is io love "Is there 'any. hope for this kind of 'a mang i > « NOT AN OLD FOGY" When oa man has been unfaithful for: years, he will probably coq- tinue to be----until his wife threatens divorce, That may put an end to the affair because he shrinks from the publicicty it would arouse. - Cer- tainly in your case, 'it is you who would have the sympathy of all 'your mutual friends, : If you still care for him, and do not want to divorce him, I urge you to make a life for yourself, : Find a position that you know you can fll, and throw all your energies into the work. Study the business, employ your experi- ence and imagination to. make yourself valuable. The daily con- tact with people and ideas will give you a wonderful life, and re-establish your self-confidence, Since your husband is out so much, look up your old friends, plan theater or movie parties, cards, or whatever pleasures you used to enjoy. You'll be sur prised how refreshed your spirit will be, and you will wonder why you have sat alone for so long, heartsick and forlorn. Perhaps when your husband finds. out that you can live in- dependently of him, he will re- alize what a reflection it is on him--and do something about it. * * * When a wife is deprived of her husband's love and companionship, she can do something about it . . .

Thus we preserve, on a small scale. 'the old will you find among those- attic herbs the old stand-bys from the open fields, for the old art and the oldl knowledge of useful wildings fades away or. vanishes in the laboratory. {- Who gathers yarrow today to dry and steep for a stimulating ton- ic? Who dries hoarhound to brew a tonic tea? Boneset once provided a hot infusion relied upon to break up a cold or ease malarial fever, Boneset still grows in every open field, but as a weed, now not a herb. The wild cherry can be found in most woodlands, but almost no one gathers its bark to dry and steep for a mild sedative. Penny- royal once provided a remedy for colic. Who uses.it now. fresh from the field? An! dittany--once it was said to cure "anythine in anyone." Dittany ncw is all but forgotten as a herbal remedy. more effective of the old herbs from the drug siore now, under new names and with new -odors. Scien tches up with the old arts, even though it. + leave some of the trappings behind, And there is no doubt that science makes even the best of the old herbalists look like fakers. But what sweei-scent- ed memories can be roused by a shot of penicillin? There was a set tea would cure a mild cold. Can the smell of antihista ine do that? Never! : : --From The New York Times, Parted: A prisoner in a Cairo jail is on Tunger strike because the Governor will not let him write love lettérs. : CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS DOWN 1.

Accidents On Ice Can Be Prevented ---- "Accidénts on the ice, like swii- ming and ~hoating mishaps, can neasly always be prevented by the application of- a few primary safety rulés; Constant observation of these rules, plus a normal amount of ¢om- ; énon 'sense, will ensure a largeides -*| gree of safety for those whose work; - play or travel takes -them "across frozen lakes or streams. The primary. rule for 'skating on . frozen bodies of 'water parallels the primary swimming rule. "Neyer skate alone. Always have a com- ° panion available, if only watching from the shore. Never go on the ice if there is less than two inches of solid ice. Never gather in groups unless the ice is really thick. Keep the weight distributed over a large area, ' ; > Another important rule is te have rescue equipment--a plank, rope, pole or ladder, A -preferably at least 10 feet long--immediately available. Sharp" "instruments for chipping into the ice fir hand or foot grips--spikes, knives, screw- drivers, ete, -- should also be on hand, writes W. Wallace McKay, M.B., of the Department of Nation- al Health and Welfare, ' When travelling across a stretch of ice of unknown thickness, it is wise: to carry a pole about ten 'or twelve feet long. If the ice gives way, the traveller will find that the pole, placed across the hole, is literally a lifesaver. "Rubber" -ice is dangerous. It bends and may crack, tripping the skatér who may fall heavily and perhaps break through. If the skater does not break through immediate- ly he should roll quickly from the spot where he fell. This spreads the weight and may . prevent a breakthrough. When a person is in the water and no equipment jis available, the "human chain" method of rescue is recommended. If four helpers are available, the first person slides, out and grasps the wrists of the victim, the second person grasps the skate or ankle of the first. Number three kneels, holding" a skate of No. 2, and. No, 4 stands, acting as an' anchor. All four pull in unison. In all group rescues it is necessary to employ some form 'of traction, such as ice creepers, to prevent slipping. Ice rescues may also be performed with a rope, preferably weighted, oor a ring buoy. A ladder, pole or plank may also be 'used, but pre- cautions must be' taken to prevent slipping which may endanger. the lives of both victim and rescuer, If in the water alone, the cardinal point is don't get panicky. Extend the arms flat.on the service of the ice to support the body and call for help. Kick up the fect or float up to the surface. Af no help comes, try to squirm forward flat on the sto- mach until the hips are at the edge of the ice. Then quickly swerve sideways and, with arms extended, roll away from the edge of the hole. The victim should not attempt to crawl straight out of the hole as his weight will usually break the edge of the ice. Ralph Carozo, Winsted; Conn, decided it. was hight time to get rid of 'the. pesky bird which kept upsetting his . gacden. He took a "stick of dynamite to it while it- perched in a cherry tree.

Ke i Ta | NTI Za) "When my 'mother makes Hun- garian Goulash, people up and down. the block open' their win- dows - wide. - Young brides, raised in the American tradition of quick, simple, light meals, ponder over the pungent aroma. They sniff-- and sniff--and wonder why it is that suddenly one has become. so hungry. Cia The canned ham loaf, heating in - the oven, guaranteed by the cook- ..book to please any brand new hus- - band, suddenly seems inadequate. Mother can't understand everyone thinks her cooking smells better, tastes better, and is better - than anyone else's.

There is just one great difference. On a diet of these, one gets lean; but on mother's talent, one gets plump --for instance, take plum dumplings. , Plum Dumplings Top List We have never scen plum dump- lings anywhere but on our mother's table. She makes the batter, pits the plums and spoons the batter arountl thie plums. She drops them into boiling water and they puff up into spherical; lyrical taste tempters. You eat one, you eat two, you eat on and on, and when it is too late to make any difference you discover you've made a gourmand | of yourself. And you aren't one bit ashamed! Glad tvit Mother has a. trick with potatoes, too. For years the potatoes have been hiding their unhappy 'heads: People shy away from them in droves because somewhere, some- time, someone said they were fat- tening. . Mother heard this, too, but paid no attention. She fills a huge, iron skillet with sliced, cooked potatoés, then fries them until they are beautifully browned, At 'this point anyone else serve ¢ them--but not our mother! This is just her. preliminary step. She now pours a big pitcher of heavy. cream ovér the whole thing, 'then #:ts its simmer. till it's a creamy, dreamy mass. Throw Caution Away People who never touch-potatoes take .a mere spoonful just to. be mannerly, then; after the first bite, they throw all their caution" imder the table and chorus happily, "Pass. the potatoes, pleasel" Mother makes a lamb stew that is famous in our town. In her + younger days mother cooked it once for one of our first families, She: made such an impression that after- ward, through the years as a very special favour, she went back now "and then just to make them rher lamb stew: dinner. For old" times' sake! 4 Gee When mother got back home, 'after one of these special-fayour dinners, we would sit wide-eyed "while she told us all about it. Then we'd gasp. as she told how the hostess. pushed the butler to one jide, and greeted 'her guests at he door, personally. She drew them JAnto uthie house with both hands atid; whispered excitedly, "Gues who's in the: kitchen!" vid Her guests shouted back, "Nol" They ignored "the 'hors d'oeuvres 'and jn their dinner jackets and long . dresses marched straight into thes ' kitchen where they bothered Mother trea no eid.

Faced with a job of feeding a hungry family 'and farm hands three times a.day, she is quick to see the advantages of the dish-washer to speed 'the job of clean-up atter meals and making the work easier, One common job on the farm is washing the milking machine and the cream separator. When you know that these machines have about 60 scparate pieces, you can see the job -can be a tedious one. Many a farm wife has found that the automatic dish-washer can do the whole job in just a few minutes, and wash the parts more hygieni-: cally clean than she can do by hand. i This is possible because the mod- ern dish-washer delivers water from an electrically heated booster tank at temperatures. up to 170 degrees ,and one dish-washer on the market does the entire washing and rinsing job in only 10 minutes. pare ye the way jof 4, day: after he fh ak pointed Him out to two of His dis-. ciples.

And - he brought him to Jesus. Jesus ' changed his' mame to Cephas or Peter. Peter became a greater 'apostle than Andrew. Then Jesus found Philip and /Philip found Nathanael. Nathanael hesitated. _ Could any illustrous man arise out of the little rival village of Nazar- eth, just five miles from his own village, Cana. Philip, the realist (see Jn. 6:7, 14:8) said, "Come and see". Nathanael came and he hence- forth became a disciple, One problem today is that people are too busy to read about Jesus Christ in The Bible. He will bear investigation.

Sometimes, at those special-favor- dinners, mother would be asked to make oxtails in the way. only she could make them. .People who shuttled back and forth to Europe were buying bus tickets to go down- town, vied with one another for in- vitations to dinner, just to eat some -| of mother's plain cooking. Her method of. cooking oxtails is very simple. It 'just happens they 'turn out a complicated dish. She puts: them in a 'heavy, iton Dutch oven at noon, cuts some onions in with them, then goes away and crochets an edge around + a handkerchief. She doesn't forget entirely about them. Oh, no. Like children, she keeps an eye on them. Occasionally she comes back and may 'ddd a little water. Or she may not. 'It all depends. Sometimes she may--or may not--throw in a little "more salt; pepper, or paprika. "When we try to pin her down as to exactly how much of this or that to add, she gets quite an- noyed at our' stupidity. "For good- ness' sakes," she says, "use your own judgment, That's what I have to do." : The oxtails turn out dark brown, tender, gooey, and good! They leave their mark from ear to ear-- all. You just eat your fill*and more --then you go take an oath after- ward. When mother went off to cook a special oxtail dinner, she knew _ that morning to remind them, "Mother believes the guests didn't cat another bite that day, because of the quantities they consumed at dinner in the evening. 3 .
