° E HIRST | Gounselot "Dear Anne Hirst: The only trouble my husband and I have had is brought on by his mother and sister. It seems I married their 'meal ticket', yot for a long while afterward we supported them, The first three years I kept my job to help buy - our home; now we have a lovely one, a dear baby and a new car. never I go there I take them both gifts, and I am careful to behave to his mother as poiltely. as though she were my .own. But' it takes a lot of doing. "They are so rude to me that my husband won't visit them it he can get out of it, and never goes alone. This is depressing me $0 I can hardly take it. I lie awake at night hearing all'over again the horrid things they said. My husband never tries to stop them, and tells me to forget it. "Twice I have mentioned di- vorge.- He went out and got drunk. "Yet I am beginning to think seriously 'of leaving him, I have a small income of my own, and can take care of both of us. I have got to find some peace, and 1 know that will only come when he stops their nasty tongues. My own people are lovely to him. Is divorce the solution?

Why don't you consider the source, as we used to say? In- stead of losing sleep remem- bering their taunts, think "Poor things, they don't know any better!" Then: you would be free to enjoy your 'love for your husband and his for you and the joy you have in your child and your home. This is the Christian way and the. practical way. If you can adopt the idea, when you next visit them you will be able to brace yourself for what you know awaits, again. What a tragic thing to think of leaving your husband! You would miss him so you would never forgive yourself. It is true he should put a stop to all this, but how many men have the courage the reprove their own people? Think it over.

The statue, by Nigerian artist Benedict Enwonwu, will eventually be placed in the Nigerian House of. Representatives at Lagos. : Well, Partner is back home again returned - about six evening. Of course I had supper waiting for him and Bob, Joy and Ross were here to welcome him too. Dee and family were coming but unexpected . visitors detained them. Naturally we didn't do - much else last night except talk. Ten days back on a farm con- vinced Partner he couldn't take it if he had to start farming again on his own although he said the clear, fresh air and be- ing right out in the open made him feel fine. As to that there is plenty of 'clear, fresh air' around here this morning, plus glorious sunshine, only there is nothing that Partner has to go outside for -- no hens to feed, no wood to cut. All we have to do here to keep warm is watch the thermostat and the ail gauge . .. and pay the fuel bills. We, and plenty of others like us, are really getting spoilt. Even on many farms. Probably it isn't good for us at all -- but it's very easy to take! While Partner was away I in- tended getting so much work done but my time was practi- cally taken up with entertain- ing, visiting and shopping. One morning I went to Milton and brought back a nice old lady of 84 to spend the day here. She is always so alert, interested in everything around her and wanted so much to see our new home. I was a little afraid she might think we had gone too modern. Instead, she just loved it. While she was here it sud- denly struck me she had prob- ably never seen an up-to-date shopping centre so in the after- noon we went over to Apple- wood Acres and she was thrilled never imagined shopping could be made so easy. At: the same time she started compar- ing prices and got it figured out in her frugal way that she was just as far ahead shopping at local stores in her own commun- ity. With that I agree. For me the attraction in shopping cen- tres' is mainly the parking fa- cilities -- not the great variety of goods displayed. As far &s stretching the dollars goes I al- ways maintain that the average person buys far beyond her ac- -tual requirements at a super- market.. You see this and you see that and you thing "that looks nice, I think I'll try it" Do that a few times and you « automatically cancel out-the odd cent or two you save on a fey packaged stdples, However, to a person who has never seen one, to "visit 'a shopping centre is quite an adventure, We went into a large grocery store and when I thought my friend might be tired I said--""Well, have you geen enough--shall we go now?" Back came the spirited answer-- "No, not for awhile, we haven't been down these two aisles yet!" 1 expect the dear soul will be talking about that trip for days to come. Later in the week Mrs, Ki---- was 'here and spent two days with me--following my own visit to the K---- home to sce T\ INGERFARM "Gwendoli . Clarke --the new baby. While she was here we entirely re-arranged my living room. Leave: two like- minded women together--with- out any men underfoot--and what they will accomplish! Partner and I had felt the room looked over-crowded. The new arrange- ment simplified things a lot--and yet we didn't take a thing away. In fact we added an extra lamp. A TV set always complicates room-arranging. There are only certain places where you can put a TV and then you just have to build around it--and it isn't al- wdys easy, taking lights and outlets into consideration. It's no wonder some people put their set in an entirely different room-- in a den or basement. I. can ap- - preiate that but we prefer our TV in the living room, even though it is inconvenient. . "Ditto" is still with us and seems quite content to stay: Yes- terday she was away nearly all day. 1 was afraid a neighbor's dog had chased her out of the community--she is terrified of dogs. But in the fternoon our doctor's litle girl found her and brought her home. At the moment Partner is sweeping the floors and Ditto is running after the broom. It is nice to have a kitty-cat in the house again-- just so long as 1 can keep her out of the bathroom. She seems to think the bathroom is meant for her convenience, too. By putting 3 box of dirt down in tha basement we are hoping to give her the right idea, We hope we can keep her as she just loves children. Dave and Eddie have not seen her yet. Such excite- ment when they come around. Incidentally the two boys saw the-Grey Cup parade and had a wonderful: time. And so, 1 imagine, did a loi of other people I would have been bet- ter pleased if the scoring hadn't been quite. so one-sided. I always feel so sorry for the losers, May- . that isn't a sporting attitude t it is my attitude nonetheless The Tragedy Of A So-Called 'Cure' Georges Feuillet was a lead- ing citizen in the little French town of Saint-Mandé. He wore .a jaunty pair of gold-rimmed glasses, seryed on the town coun- cil, and as a doctor of pharmacy, enjoyed the reputation of hav- ing invented at' least a dozen patent medicines. Just one thing bothered him: An outbreak of boils. - The infection appeared . while "he was on a trip to Madagascar and kept recurring after he got back home no matter what me- dications he used. Monsieur Feuillet was" getting desperate, But, being a logical man, Feuil- let found a relationship between the claims of some of his ac . quaintances that tin workers never got boils and the claims of some modern pharmaceutists that so-called vitamin F, a fatty oleic acid derived from olive oil, 'also got results, Obviously, if tin in some form could be combin~ ed with vitamin F' then both the general public and _ Monsieur Feuillet would be enriched. He found a chemist who gave him an organic tin salt which was soluble in vitamin F and he found a manufacturer in the reputable pharmaceutical firm of Féyrier-Decoisy. The product was packaged as Stalinon cap- sules and presented 'to author- ities as a later development of an earlier vitamin-F drug previ- ously approved by the Ministry ol - Public Health, Samplings were passed by the National La- boratory for the Control of Me- - ¢ dicines and tested out by a phy- sician on eight military patients, On Jdne 24, 1953, it was approv- ed by the government. Stalinon went on sale at a dollar a box of 50 and was boosted by Feuil- let as the happy solution to staphylococcus «(bacteria quently f8und on the skin) which resist even antibiotics and as a cure for boils, carbuncles, acne, and pimples. 3 --In the next year some 2,000 boxes were sold, usually to self- conscious, pimply-faced adoles- cents. Then came a deeply dis- tressed letter from the chief phy- sician 'at, the hospital of Niort to the Inspector General of Pharmacies at Paris. "I don't understand it," the __ physician wrote, "Three women in child- birth, under. treatment for benign abscesses of the breast have died suddenly of encephal- itis. All three have been treated with Stalinon." - Immediately there began the most harrowing and horrifying investigation in medical history. From all over Frances and the colonies there now poured -in ghastly and heart - rending ac- -counts of how Stalinon reacted --fiery headaches, blackouts, in- testinal and urinary disorders followed by intra-cranial pres- fre- - sure in which the brain swells . and vision is impaired. This came with the deposit of tin salts in the brain's nerve tissues and made the victims scream with al- most unbearable pain before finally lapsing into comas. After about nine days of this torture, according to govern- ment testimony, sudden . death followed for 102 persons, but of another 117 who survived only a few could be listed as '"appar- ently cured." The rest have re- mained partially bliid or help- lessly crippled, Shudderingly typical was a description of the death of his 12-year-old son by a police Inspector from Annecy: "He screamed for a week in spite of morphine, But what I can never forgive is that we ourselves killed him. 'We forced him to take his pills , . . regu- larly . . . in 'a glass of water." The government's case was three years in the making and +0 sports and in the game of e. with the losers--with those, who, in spite of all they can do, never quite make the grade. It often happens the ones Who merit the greatest praise are on the losing side--in 'life as in sports. CARRIER 'ROCKETY'S COURSE - H ; oo eavy black line on newsmap approximates course Moscow claims the carrier rocket of Rus- sia's first earth satellite took as it' descended into the earth's atmosphere and disintegrated. Kads claim the rocket's remains fell in the territory of Alaska c¢nd the West Coast of North . America, U.S. officials state tk '+ a check has failed to turn up any concrete evidence of ary portion of ths rocket having fell within Americcn territory, My sympathy is always * last, on a charge of involuntary homicide (maximum penalty: two years), Monsieur Feuillet was confronted with 700 pounds of evidence. When his trial end- ed he struggled weakly to his feet, his face pinched and aged 'behind his once debonair spec- - tacles. He tried to read a few - prepared words but could not speak and fell sobbing uncon- trollably shoulder, iy ; . But France was asking deeper, questions. Feuillet's only re- search equipment was a cage for two mice. Neither he -nor the chemist knew that tin salts be- come toxic when in solution with fats, although this has been widely known since 1869. Equip- ment was antiquated, too, Out of 650 tested by the government, no two capsules had the exact same chemical content, Prior to approval, the National' Labora- tory for Control of Medicines "had tested the capsules on three mice and then only in such quantities that the poison was ischarged intestinally. It even developed that the Health Min- istry had waited a month after ° granting Feuillet his visa be- fore sending his pellets to a'lab test and the lab had not report- ed until Feb. 15, 1954, that the product was not in order with the formula. Feuillet was warn- ed but even then he:merely re- duced the tin-salts content. What did the Ministry of Health have to say? Tight - lipped, Charles Vaille, secretary of the drug approval committee, took the stand. He refused to divulge committee nanies, but added: "You should know, the entire world envies France its pharmaceutical organization." While the courtroom roared, - René. Floriot, counsel for the Stalinon Victims Association and one of France's most brilliant lawyers, replied with icy pre- cision: : "You seem very proud of your work. Permit me to tell you there is.truly no reason at all." -- From Newsweek.
