A rum-runner ocfiered I. farmer $50 for the use of his born for one day.

"We want to lay over in it for e day with a load 0! boone." the man eiaplained.

The farmer accepted the offer — then promptly notified the re- rrevenue officers. The authorities watched the barn all one night. ell the next day. and all the fol- lowirg night. But no rum-runners appeared.

A few days later the ru!n-run- her came to the farmer and paid him the $50.

“But'you didn't use the ban!" the farmer protested.

"Oh, yes. we did." the other re- plied; “while the Feds were tied up here. we ran four loads in over the bad; road."

On Nutrition by Mariette G. lllii

NEW IIIGIIIJGITI FROM THE ’ WORLD OF‘ FOOD

In a recent paper delivered at the University of ‘Toronto, Dr. Jones of Canadian Industries Lim- ited pointed out that. whereas much has been done to regulate and improve health of payroll em- pioyees the men and women \vho formulate the policies are largely left to their own resources so far

, as health is concerned. He urged

plans for a service for executives and potential executives similar to that for employees in less respon- sible positions.

He described the executive class as I "well-fed somewhat con- ltiuted group which have faulty habits of rest and recreation; and among whom incidence of heart disease. and stomach ulcer is rela- tively high." He suggested that executives who spend too much time thinking and too little exer- cising. should remember that the race oi life is to the thin. and not to the fat. fast or strong.

It occurs to me that we who are so concerned with nutrition and hygiene could probably do more to help our own living habits and those of the executives with whom we work.

How are your breakfasts. and those of the executives on your staff? Do you. . . and they . . . eat three balanced meals daily? It might be that your food habits and theirs might stand some checking up . . . to your benefit. and that of your organization.

Crown Prince Gustaf of Sweden in an address to the 12th Inter- national Dairy Congress at Stock- holm, laid stress on the enormous scope of milk and dairy produc- tion throughout the world. He set the tentative figure for pre- sent world milk producfion at 165 rnlilion tons avoirdupois. per year . . . a high figure. but consider- ably lower than before the war.

His Royal Highnes felt there could be no doubt that the set- back in dairy production caused by the war must to a large extent be rsponsible for undernourish- ment in the world, especially un- dernourishment of young children. Moreover, he felt that dairy pro- ducts as a source of nourishment are so important that an improved standard of living cannot be ex- pected without increase in the out- put of milk.

A recent study made in Toronto shows some disconc ting facts about adult milk consumption. Only 56 per cent of the business- men, 48 per cent at the business women, and 37 per cent of the housewives drink milk daily. Those who do not drink milk get some in their meals . . . but it is not likely they get the full re- commended amount.

It is boring to harangue on any subject. but women especially should realize that milk is abso- lutely vital to health. well-being and good looks — and does not in itself put on weight! Let me make it clear. once and for all that milk eaten in made-up dishm is just as nutritious as milk we drink .. so let us start using more recipes with milk in them.

Father's Duty To Save Son From Mother‘: Harmful influence

1 .

DEAR MISS DI : What do you think of a mother who will not allow her son, who is 9 years old. to play with other boys. but insists that he play with girl: and keep clean and tidy like a girl? Thin boy is I real boy. full of life and fun. but his spirit is being broken. He wants to fish, play ball and bay gamer. get dirty and have the normal life'of an honest-to-goodness boy. The father’: heart aches for the boy. but he has no say in the matter.

What about it? A FRIEND 0!‘ THE BOY

ANSWER: Why hasn't the father a say-so about the boy? He is his son. isn't he? He hasn't any right to let a silly and neurotic woman blight the lad's childhood by suppressing all of his natural instincts and distort his character by her inhibitions. and when he falls to save his boy from the mother's baneful influence he is committing an un- forgivable sin against him.

MOTHER DOVE FALLIBLE \

Because a woman has a child does not inevitably indicate that she has sense and judgment enough to rear it Properly. Because she loves her child it does not follow that she will do the best for it. Mother

impede. flour

love can be a curse as well as a blessing. and there are plenty of time; when a father’: first duty is to remove his children from their mother's baleful and destructive influence. It is the only way he can save them, and their good is much more important than their mother's happiness.

That is the only remedy in a case in which a mother tries to thwart Nature and make a little imitation girl out of a normal boy. She is lacking both in intelligence and common humanity. or else she would never attempt it. Why she wants to do It. goodness only knows. For. if she succeeds. she turn: him into a sissy, and. if she falls. his reaction will make him a hellion. But in either case it is father's duty to do something about it. Right away. Before it is too late.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: People say that my husband is too good for me. He has no bad habits. Brings home all the money he makes. Never takes a drink or smoke: or goes out at night unless I know all about it. Would scarcely look at even Lana Turner if she should pass. But the trouble is some catty women are continually saying that he is a better husband than I am a wife. which may be true. I wish he would get drunk. or strike me. or have an affair with some other woman so as to lessen the disparity between us and thus stop these catty women in their tracks. For twenty years I have tried to catch him in something, but can't. and it is getting beyond endurance.

What to do? _ TROUBLED WIFE

ANSWER: You prove my favorite theory, that neither men nor women really want the ideal mates for which they sigh. and that they couldn't stand them if they had them. The contrast between them would be too great.

What they want. is Just some poor. faltering. weak human being like themselves who is continually stumbling and blundering and doing all those things which they should not do and leaving undone those things which they should do. Somebody they can forgive and feel an- perior to and cherish for their very weaknesses.

So you have my sympathy. poor Troubled Wife. It must be awful to be married to a man who is better than you are. a man you never have any reason to scold and who only looks pained and surprised when you fall down as a wife. And. worst of all. it gives you no grievance. What on earth do you talk,about when wives foregather and tell their secret sorrows?

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 39 years of age. very much in love with a married man ten years older than I am. He is married to a fine woman. who has been a good wife and neither of us would do anv- thing to hurt her. The wrench of giving him up make: me sick to even think about. but have I the right to go on seeing him under

the circumstances? "W-r’ " ' GRATEFUL ~-

ANSWER: If you have to have a limb amputated, the sooner the better. the quicker it heals and the lean danger there is of complica- tions. So with an unhappy love affair. The quicker it is ended. the sooner you will recover from it. You gain nothing by letting it dang along. poisoning the years. until atlast it ends in the death of every- thing that makes life Worth While-

Pioneer liays In .P. E. I.

By I. ll. Ilaoarthur

Tales of ice travel are always thrilling and the adve ture which befeli a party of Ellen Se and Tyne Valley folk almost one hundred years ago is one of the most excit- ing. It is still told from Ellerilie to Richmond Bay and no matter how often it is retold, it still grips and holds the listener. _

Jessie Price and his son John. William Ford. Thomas Burlelgh and Thomas Phillips of Ellerslie. with William Ellis and son. and “Billy the Duke" of Tyne Valley, and a couple of teen-aged«young- stera, had loaded their sleds with timber gleaned from the sur- rounding forests. Their destina- tion was-Malpeque. The timber was for the shipyards. Ellerslle folk supplied a good deal of the lumber used at Malpeque. Dana- ley and Prlncetown. In return for the lumber the settlers got flour. groceries. fodder. and their spring seed —- the old trade and barter system was then in use.

0 0 0

Our story opens on a certain day in the month of March. Their journey. a distance of twenty miles. had to be traversed by ice. The little party set out before daylight with the expectation of being back home early that same night. The party reached Mal- peque without mishap, unloaded their lumber and secured a good

supply of provisions for them- selves and their livestock. This occupied "‘ able time and

when they reached the ice field for their return trip one of the men. Thomas Phillips. father of F. W. Phillips. speaker of the House, had failed to join the oth- ers. After waitlng on the shore for nearly an hour they decided he must have gone on to Summerside to spend the night at the home of a friend.

Already the sun had sunk to rest behind a great cloud bank. and a strong gale was sweeping across the country. There was every indication of a big storm. Now the farmers pointed to the sky, spoke of the wind. and the dangerous spring-holes that lay along their route of travel. On more than one occasion these spring-holes. often too wide for the horses to jump, had to be bridged with the bottom of their sleds or anything they come by. More than one unlucky traveller had plunged into the cold waters, and more than one valuable horse had perished in this manner dur- ing the height of a storm. Be- fore half the distance had been covered the blizzard burst upon them in a madden’ rush that promised to scatter them like Autumn leaves.

"Better rope the sleds together." advised Price, “then we can let the horses have a free rein and trust to luck."

The animals were used to cross- ing the ice and their owners had the feeling that. left to themselves. they would be able to keep the trail. But they had not reckoned on such a storm. and alter bravely facing it for a time, even the faith-
