3! An Island Farmers Wlfc

This recipe for ginger snaps submitted. was without; doubt the utispiration of some ingenious cook of the long ago. one of those Ibaut whose memorials. in some quiet country cemetery. entwine the notes of birds singing their musical refrains oi everlasting summers in those solemn spots. And we treading softly there may stop to read: "Sacred to the mem- ory of Hannah." or Dorcas, or Eliza. or Abigail or other of the savored names of that. yesteryear. glancing soinewliat idly at ilhe words. Maybe to wonder a. fleeting moment about the nature of her passing. nevertheless, to consider lb only casually

Not to remember that here rest- ed the dust. of another such as we . . . who had lived and loved and was loved-kinew the joys and concerns of feminine hearts; heard first robins 0' spring and watched the earth reclothe herself in her new garments of green; knew the bloom and beauty of summer. gracious over the farm- lands; admired somewhat wist- fully the unmatchable artistry of autumn about, and enjoyed the wide chaste silences of winter. Listened hreathlessly for loved foot-falls and voices; knew happi- ness in goodly measure even a cup "pressed down and running over."

As housewives of her day. had cleared away the breakfast things. swept with cumbersome broom her floor; diisiecl faithfully and made the beds. smoothing and moulding with sure touch. tihe mattresses of feathers or chaff. inserted new candles in the hold- ers against the night shadows. doifotless wondering if her present supply would last until the butch- ering of that fat ewe should at length bring replenishment. Car- rying now a pail of water from spring or brook and sticks from the chopping block to keep the

tire. And now she would bake while the lovellnes of season rested on fields and woodlands about. . - .

And placing her baking mixture on her pioneer stove would she not watch with interest while it turned into little gay bubbles of gold? Then removing it add a "teaspoon of soda. stirring while it foamed lightly? "Then cool." the matronly woman who has a neat hand at the like. said. "the longer the better. Now a teaspoon of ginger and three of salt. Yes." she smiled. "you may consider that unusual salting. but. . than flour to roll - approximaiiely two cups. It's a recipe rye always used,” she offered.

Q 1

Thai Body Of Yours?

By Juan W. Bar1on.,Id.D.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE A SYMPTOM NOT A DISEASE One of the commonlst physical conditions discussed by many is hypertension. high blood pressure. ssiif high blood pressure in itself

is not a disease but just a symp- tom. and can be a sign that. be- cause some disease In III?-Sent. the blood pressure order to handle or overcome the disease. That is. in order to supply blood to the different parts made difficult by the opposition of the disease. more power-increases blood premure-is necessary. This is thus called essential or necessary high blood pressure. if the disease is present and your heart does not increase its pumping power. then you are not putting up a. good fight against the disease.

Similarly, when a. physician takes the pulse rate and temperature of a patient and finds pulse rate in- creased and the temperature above normal. he may know nothing of the cause of the increased pulse rate and temperature but he does know that the patient is sick with "some" disease or disorder. Instead of immediately giving medicines to slow down the heart rate or lower the temperature. he examines the patient thoroughly to find out what is wrong-mouth, location of pain. kind of pain. history of food rec- ently eaten. condition of blood and other conditions present.

I have written before of the young physician, seriously ill at our Base Hospital during World War 1. whose temperature and blood pressure were not greatly in- creased and whose white blood corpuscles were also not increased as with serious illness. The white corpuscles are the disease fighters and the physician. by hnding their lumber. estimates the hghting abil- ity of the patient. In the case of this young physician. there was little or no increase and the visit- ing consultant shook his head as he thought of the probable out- come.

In Medical Clinics of North America. Dr. G. E. Wakerlln states that high blood pressure. like a rise in temperature. or increase in number of white corpuscles in the blood. is not a disease: it is a sign of an underlying disease process.

In about only 5 per cent (1 to 20 cases) of high blood pressure. this underlying cause is known. The vast majority. 95 per cent, have in- creased blood pressure due to un- known causes. The physician may allow the blood pressure to remain high for a certain time or up to a certain uttent while he looks for the cause. Perhaps the only drug given in high blood pressure is one to quiet the nerves or fears of the patient. so that the elastic coat in the blood vessels will not be stretched too much or too often and thus lose some of its elasticity.

Remember, increased tempera- ture. pulse rate. and blood pres- sure are symptoms, not diseases.

Bars To Happiness

"A Rhysical Defect No Barrier To Love

DEAR MISS DIX: What chance have I in life! I am hopelessly Eros!-eyed. The doctors say I cannot be operated on. so all my life

will be like this. I am 26 and know I can never find is man willing to marry me. I have become so shy and afraid of people that I have lost all contact with the outside world except for the people with whom I work. It's hard to watch the world go by and see others marry and raise children,

I

ANSWER: I am publishing your letter primar- ily In the hope that other women who. in spite of severe physical handicaps. have married and are happy wives and mothers, will write encourage- ment for you. Please let me have your name and address so I can forward to you what mail I re- celve.

Women with far greater handicaps than mere cross-eyes have been loved and wedded. I know many. and I have heard of many more. I know of one woman badly cross-eyqd. who married three times, moreover each time to men of wealth and position. While it may be more difficult for a girl with a defect to find a man, it happens every day. As compensation, I can assure you that you'll probably find a man of far greater character than would be won by mere prettlness.

HANDICAP IS TIIIVIAL

A. M. K.

Muriel N lslen

By withdrawing from the world. however. you are most assuredly missing every chance of meeting a young man. Your handicap is trivial to the rest of the world. It Is up to you to try to forget it. and mix with other people. You have a job. Let that be the entering wedge to other activities. Seek friendships with other girls. You probably have been rejecting them. Get some outside. Interests. through your church, extension courses in a local school or college, sports through a community center. Donlt sit back and resign your- self to being alone and forsaken. No one ever is. Your worst enemy is your own frame of mind; improve that and your obstacle to hop- piness is-conquered.

A pleasant. cheerful disposition will do far more to win a husband than a pretty face with a mean temper behind it. Cultivate your good points. acquire new abilities. face the world with confidence. gnyety and a smile. You'll feel better, the folks around you will .feel better and you are more than likely to find romance lurking around

the corner.

DEAR MISS DIX: My wife and I have been married for three years. We are of different faiths and nationalities; we haven't let that stand in our way. but we haven't been getting along. She wants to break up. and I don't want to because I love her. We have no children: she is 38. I am 37. and nothing seems to please her. She doesn't like my family-claims they don't like her because they didn't give. her a shower when we were married. Can you suggest anything to help me?

B. H.

ANSWER: Judging from your gentle, honest letter, which I have had to condense. 1 would say your wife is very, very foolish to break up a marriage that holds as much promise as yours. She has picked out a ridiculous excuse for disllking your family-they were under no obligation to give her a shower; in fact, it's considered poor taste for the in-laws to give one. Your own clergyman should be able to assist you in settling your affairs, and an interview with a marriage counselor would also help. You will find one in your phone book listed under Family Service or Family Guidance.

DEAR MISS DIX: A few weeks ago a boy I had known In school came home on leave with a friend. In order to introduce this friend to our chums I had a little social for him. When he left. he said he would see me the next day. but I haven't heard a word from him since.

Should I write him at camp? LYNNE

ANSWER: Better let the matter drop. He may have failed to write from neglect. thoughtlessness or simple bad manners. In any case. your writing would only embarrass him. .
