g . THE AGING PROCESS 13 ' GRADUAL. NOT SUDDQ

Now that there us more elderly people in the world than any other single group, the elderly themselves. their families and family physic- ians are giving the matter of care of this group thorough study.

One of the first thoughts in treatment of the elderly is to help them to keep up their mgrale. Once they feel that they are too old to do any physical or mental work, they lose their interest in work and in people. It is the ice!- ing that they are still of use to their family and to the commun- ity that helps them to keep going.

However, although their morale must be maintained, they should be made to realize that, notwith- standing their desire and willirig- ness to be useful, they are really aging, as do all human beings, and must not attempt the physical or mental tasks of their younger days.

In various parts of this and other countries. surveys of elderly pat- ients in hospital are being made. This is with the idea of making sure that hospital treatment is necessary and more beneficial than home or rest-home nursing and treatment.

In the British Medical Annual. Dr. Marjory J. Warren states that the follow-up of surveys of the aging in hospital is most import- ant as i'there can be no general improvement until there is a better understanding of the needs of the elderly sick patient and a greater knowledge of the physiology (body workings) and psychology (brain and emotional workings of old age.

"It must be fully recognized that senescence is the normal process of aging and that this is a general, a gradual and a slow process. It consists of a running down of the human organism. with lessening of physical strength and a tendency to slower movement. and to less activity; with a lessening of the sharpness of the senses. a lessen- ing in the powers of mental con- centration and a desire for longer periods of rest with more time to remlnesce than to become inter- ested in new subfects."

The thought. then. for those in- terested in care of the elderly is to remember that the aging process is gradual. not sudden. Any sudden change is most likely to be due to some ailment or disease, not to the aging process itself.

If I. hymn is being sung. pro- ceed to your set. if you enter dur- ing prewar, wait in the vestibule or at rear of the church. It is un- likely that you ever would be tardy enough to enter during the sermon, but should this happen. slip quietly into a back pew. Q.

The best man, and members of the wedding party and the guests rise to drink the couple's health. whereupon the bridegroom rises and expresses thanks for him- self and his bride. , Q. How should one point the! prongs of the fork when cutting and conveying food to the mouth? A, The prongs should point downward while cutting the food. but should point upward as the food is lifted to the mouth.

A bulb lint came today-and somewhere, we have glimpsed the cover of a Fall and winter mer-

”But there's a sign of gold in some grain-fields now!" Jamie said this morning. Prom ihe pan- try window, that about the build- ings and toward the Hawthorn hedge by roadside at the other form, was spread with a rippling green, is pretty extent of light and shade where the wind of day and Bun toyed with it. Nearer we caught the glint of cattle in pas- ture and in this herd it was, that today certain additions were made.

No matter the whims of the markets, in the interest of farm fertility, our farmers try to main- tain the usual number of live- stock. A sale sees replacements bi-ought ill, or these may come in part from stock of our own, such as that found by the younger farmer today when a heifer oi those on pu.s'.;ire birthed her calf in the se- clusion and loveliness of a grove bcs.de. "l-lunny, too." Granddaugh- ter commented, ”we don't think an.mals have brains - at least not- like people. But." she reasoned, eyes wide, "why did she have her baby in the exact spot of last year?

Besides keeping the respective herds4here and at Alderlea. - at strength, there is, we note the us- ual number of porcine matrons in farrowing pens and paddock. And rougish-eyed small ones for us to laugh about with the children asl given brief freedom sometimes, they explore and scamper even merrily along the barnyard.

Preferring to suffer, to die a hundred deaths every day, rath- er than settle as quickly as pos- sible in mind the tate of pain and conjecturing.

It was a favorable token for us. despite the continued misery of shoulder..that the vehicle which at mid-morning returned him to the sights and sounds of home brought as well the purchased animals he turned at once to join the herd of "idle" ones at pasture on the other

that. immediately on leaving New Scotland Yard on the previous evening he had put through a tele- phone call. This had been traced. He rang up the private house of Mr. Martin Winterton. and spoke for three minutes. After that he took a. taxi to his boarding house where he remained for the rest of the evening. .

"I -wonder if it was the girl he spoke to," thought Kenway. There was one more report. The capsule found by the porter in Number 12 Darnley Mansions had been anal- ysed and found to contain a harm- less medical mixture, the govern- ing element of which was digitalis. "It was probably carried by some- one whose heart is affected," said the report. "If you wish to identify him or her the symptoms which might be obvious to a layman are . . . "

Kenway put the report aside with a grunt. He hadn't the slightest in- tention of looking for symptoms of heart disease among London's seven million inhabitants, in the hope of identifying some person to whom he had no other clue! He did some necessary office work and went to the office of Superin- tendent Moran for morning con- ference, which took time. After that he had to appear as witness in a burglary case at Bow Street, and when that was over he had lunch, going on to the opening of the inquest on Borden. It went exactly to plan and he was free for

He did not approach the injur-

tivities in the way of blackmail had

not predisposed him in Mllver's favour and the information, picked up from Green, the porter, that the manservant had given his name as Charlie Brown. suggested some secret in his life. Kenway told him-

self he would not be surprised at, any turn the interview might take. The result did not Justify his confi-

dence.

After a warning to be careful and brief he was admitted to the room where the man lay, his head swathed in bandages and his face giving plain evidence of his weak- ness. Kenway got to the point at once and Mllvers answered him with every appearance of candour. He had entered the flat, he said. on his return from an errand on which Borden had sent him. That would be at about 20 minutes to two. He had noted the time by that

A. soak it. head down, for one hour or more in cold water. to which add for each quart a ten- spoon each of salt and vinegar; this also freshens it. Always boil with the head down so that scum will not settle on the white parts. Boil cauliflower in a cloth and it can be lifted out and served whole and unbroken.
