ELLEWS DIARY
We celebrated the mnlvermry of Jamie's birth today, roe-ailing in the mild weather obtaining this balmy December day, that on his birthday, there was a snowfall. and a depth of snow and iavintry conditions prevailed. There was nothing extraordinary Ln our .for- gathering, which brought the oth- ers otf the family to this old house at Alderlea this evening, though we find these occasions heartening and often amusing in details.
the circle, He. snug and very sweet. in his cot had already entered into his night's rest in the house across the lane. Nor was he left any length of time, cvcn though lights there were dim anti a controlled fire burned low on the hearth. Now ll. was James that slipped away from the gath- ering to reassure h:msclf that all was wcll with this small follow and again it was the babes par- ents. ivho made the trip. because as James commented in words sometimes used of other respon- sibilities: “If they're worth having; thc_v'rc worth looking afterl" thus: small ones given to our care. - . a
In the twilight which drew this
quiet and beclotided clay to n
close, and as one, though from different directions, the two ma- chznos came tn the yard -— the family truck ‘nearing Llie farm-
ers home from their xvork in the stump-field, and Rob's, from his farm “in“ the road. With "mic stone" the helip at this place “kill two birds" since on their home- ward trek along the fields they stop a‘. the stacks by the line to fetch hay for the evening feeding. Not that mows show signs yet of deplettion but only because as they say "this is a very good time to feed that hay - when it's easy tn geti" Mr. A. who in recent years lives along with only memories for company, since his good com- panlon of many years sleeps now her long sleep in the cemetery b_v Kirk-side, was witih Rob's and two bright lads about Jamie's years. who live close by,‘ I O
They are both manly fellows. but since we were there lending our best moral support at youngefs birth, a sturdy wide- eyed, wondering, likeable child. we shall maintain an especial in- terest in his career, as the years commence to sharpe it. O O l
Our family gathering was the same as always. a happy occasion. and yet not ivithout ends of care creeping in. James is apt to let hi: thoughts stray for the moment to speak of some concern otf the farm. and the others have their problems as we'll. 1t was. we thougtht, the same as always. and yet changed in many directions since the day of Jamie's birth. The interval brought ware close, and the strange period that is after- math. It has given us at Alderlea. not the miall fellow oif once. but
a sturdy ‘boy of eight to sit at his grandfather's side at. table, one already putting off childish fan- cies and leaning towards adult af- fairs. Taking stock of the years now lying between, we think more threads of silver have come to James‘ hair and as well to our own crowning glory. But nur days have been good to us, some ex- ceedingly pleasan-t and others that could have bothered us consider- ably were it not that our years have given us a philosophy oif liv- ing, that makes only molehills now of the mountains of doubt and indecision and pcrplexity.

ATTACK OF JAUNDICE RE- LIEVES ASTHMATIC ATTACKS
Some years ago it was found that certain patients with mental ailments and partial paralysis who were attacked by malaria, recover- ed or were found to be greatly im- proved memaily when the attack of malaria was over. In a, Hamil. ton, Ontario. hospital a number of these patients were inoculated with the malaria organisms, ran a l-ilfvlcal course of malaria. and after treatment by the drug quinine tused iii all vases of malaria) re- covered their normal mental aibil- ity and paralysis diasppeared. Later it was found that almost as satisfactory results in the treat- men of paralysis of the insane could be obtained by raising the temperature of the patient to 106 or 106 degrees Fahrenheit b_v elec- tricity; that it was the great heat caused by malaria that cured or lielDed the patient.
I have referred lo the cases of two close relatives who suffered with hay fever. Onc had a severe attack with throat symptoms and a deep crimson rash covering the entire body; the other had light throat symptoms only. and thc rash. while covering a large part of the body. was very faint. In the one with severe rush toms, no attacks of hay fever have since occurred. but thc other, with _ht throat and skin symptoms. still has yearly attacks of hay fever.

Cure For Shriewishness
Reader Aclmifs She Nags, Scolds, Asks How To Stop
DEAR MISS DIX: I am an average young woman who against considerable odds has kept her mental balance. After yearn of effort I have now achieved some progress against being a snob, unloving and unbelievably tnctless. My reason tells me I am wrong when I nag. t1 have tried any amount of reasoning to overcome it, but under the |stress of a strong disappointment I lose to an emotionalmrgy of self- pity, which breaks down all reserve. 1 only abuse those I dearly
._ lovc, where my heart is concerned. I can reason it. out this far, that it is a result of a feeling I have that I nni not loved or am losing a love I have labor- ed long to gain. 1s there any cure for shrewlshness?

ANSWER: I do not think any people are more to
be pitted than those who have the vision to see the _ ' ‘" wise and right thing to do, yet lack the strength to ‘do it. For they are not only at odds with all about them, they are perpetually at war with themselves. I Dullards sin without remorse. They pass the buck and blame everyone else but themselves for their wrong doings and their fail- ures. But the intelligent have no such scapegoats. They stand con- victed zit the bur of their own consciences and know that they have lbrought their misfortunes on their own heads.
WANTS TO BE LOVED

These are common feminine faults. They are at the bottom of lmost of the tragedies of women's livcs. A woman knows that she ldrives her husband flfld children nway from her by her nagging. Slic knows that she makes her home a hell on earth by her temper. She knows that she hns no friends, yet she goes on doing the things that are her own undoing.
