Mine are ntar.ried and live far away. It is his daughter that is causing me trou- ble. "She is mar- ried, and the mother of three. She and her hus- band never have got along and she won't get a divorce. She leaves hint for two or three months at a tiute-and cotues to live with us. "She helps herself to anything on the place. She expects us to buy her everything she wants. (I've gone without sa many things I need!). I've tried hard to he nice to her and she is nice to me -as long as I give her money, and don't say anything she doesn't want to hear. When I ]tate, occasionally, she tells me off. And her dad 'sides with her! ABSORBS HER FATHER "I never have gone out without my husband. And he used to talk everything over with use. Now he tells her all about his work. If I matte any comment or ask a ques- tion ,they just grunt -and go on by themselves. "I feel like a housekeeper here. He and I used to talk and laugh together and have such fun. But now I feel unwanted. "I have tried to talk with hien in a nice way and explain how she is usurping my place. I've tried to explain to her, too, that I like to run my house myself .But they just get mad, I ant beginning to turn against theist both.

'I'lle movement developed :iter the pnllieaainu of Professor Love - joy's latest book. No Mora Surplus Women, which ha. already run through 35 edition., and is still in great demand. Put briefly, the idea is to allot, each ratan a pair of wives. Profes- sor Lovejoy has made a close study of the population figures, and cal- culates this will provide every wo- man in the county with a husband. Grumpy fellows, who already find nue wife more than they can cope with, have been allowed for in wor- king out the balance. They are to bo classed as One - Wotnen Men and segregated from other hus- bands in all public placers. "First and Reserve" They will, in fact, be treated as inferiors, takings the last positions in every queue, receiving fewer cig- arettes and being served with the weakest beer. Suitable badges will be issued to mark them out from their bolder brethren. Future marriages, if the proposed law were to come into force, would carry Terms of Contract, setting out conditions to be observed by all three parties, husband and wives, the latter being graded First and Reserve. It should be made clear that both wives enjoy equal rights. In going through the husband's troe.er pock - est, for example, they will pool the proceeds. Again, should he buy one a new hat tile- other can de- mand the sante, or its equivalent in cash value. First and Reserve will agree to live amicably, any dispute being referred to the husband for settle- ment,. His decision is to he final and legally binding. If they are throwing pots and pans at each outer he is to stand out of range, awarding points for hits. deducting for misses. The husband will also decida which wife is to go out to work and which to remain at hone. If both have egdal skill at some trade or profession, commanding the same salary, they can he inter- changed to provide variety, First being at home and Reserve away, or vice versa. There is a clause in tate Terms of Contract which allows the hus- band to send both wives out to work should lie feel too tired to work himself. But -in such an event, the rules for Division of Income are amended. Rights of Mothers -in -Law Relatives on both sides are fully covered. Each wife may bring her mother-in-law to stay for a period of not more than seven days in a year, but they must not he both in the house at the same time. Other relatives are to take turns in vis- iting or being visited. Should a First -mother-in-law raise her hand to strike a Reserve she is to lose the right of staying by one day, with the sante penalty on a Reserve mother-in-law threat- ening a First. A blow, delivered with a clenched fist, means a year's suspension; an attempt to strangle. or pull hair out by the roots, will bring fife banishment. Brothers-in-law are also included iu this clause. They can ,be fined for grinding cigarette butts into carpets, putting both feet on the mantlepiece, wiping their boots on the settee, and otherwise behaving like brothers-in-law. Altogether, with numerous other clauses in the Terms of Contract, it is hoped to put marriage on 'a more businesslike basis, With their battle -cry of "Two Wives arc Bet- ter 'Than One," Professor Lovejoy and his supporters are ready to go into action.

Bob Morton's big three - ring circus to the Ont- ario Capitol with the entire pro- ceeds being in aid of the crippled children and benevolent fund for the Shriners. This year the Shrine circus pro- mises to be bigger and better than ever with a variety of 11045' and breath - taking acts. Features of tine big indoor show include the Triska troupe, a sensational ]sigh - wire act recently arrived on this continent from Europe, the Rudy Rudynoff trio and their trained stal- lions and Roland Ticbor's trained seals. This annual circus is only part of an extensive program carried on by the Shriners .to help crip- pled and under : privileged child- ren. From this and other activities the Shriners- operate and maintain 16 hospitals on the 'North Anseri- • can continent, one of these being located in Winnipeg and another in Montreal. Any crippled youngster tender 14 years, of age,,.rcgardless of race, color or creed is eligible for admis- sion to these Shrine hospitals. Mote that 120,000 crippled and handicapped.children have received medical care and treatment in the various Shrine. hospitals on this continent.

Island of Fear Where No white man has trod No white man has ever set foot on a strange island in the Belgian Congo which stands in the middle of the Congo River at a point where it narrows to half a mile. Tltey call it "the Island that Frightens Explorers." No boat can remain afloat for more than a few minutes in the tremendous torrent, Explorers have tried time after tints to get to the island which is dense- ly wooded and is reputed to be the ]tome of a race of pygmies, Two lost their lives in the racing waters. Thick foliage prevents them from ' viewing 1110 island through telescopes, Scientists are anxious to land there because they believe the inhabitants may give them a clue which will help to establish that man's origin was in South Central Africa. - A. few weeks ago a helicopter was used in an attempt to probe the 'gland's secrets, The pilot flew over the"swirling waters and studied the vegetation of the island as close- ly as he could.- But it was too risky to land. ' It is amazing that the island is as much a mystery in 1950 as it was when white men first set root on the African continent. One ex- plorer reported that on calm, wind- less days he has noticed the branches as if under the weight of many monkeys. But no reliable evidence is available, Miracle Plant Of The Chinese In tear - ravaged South Korea grows a plant which many hellions of Poor Chinese peasants regard as magical. It is called G'INSE'NG, meaning "image of man," because its fork -shaped root gives it at appearance of a, human being in miniature Throughout China it is regarded as a remedy fol' almost all diseases, though British and American doctors who have analysed it and tested its effect on Westerners, re- port that it is merely a mild slinttd- 'ant. Not so Chinese doctors. They swear by it as an infallible cure for exhaustion of body and mind. They say it postpones death and has the most enduring building power of almost any tonic known. It is the root of the ginseng plant which is said to Contain these des- irable properties, This root is about three inches long with wrin- kles 1'unni$g round it. Dried over a charcoal fire, tea is brewed with it - expensive tea, for the cost of ginseng is as high as $500 an ounce. n di China b v t iu o BeEorc the as v the Connhnttnists, the Unitech Sta- teo exported a trillion dollars' wor- th of ginseng to that•count'y every year, hilt this Auterieat - grown ginseng, is colhsitleretl a 11001' stab^ slitute for the Korean variety, Its stimulating properties have been lcnotvn to the Chinese people ...eve -ox .olL. e P. Cts 1 e Sunshine , . , that's the big local news as I write, Sunshine, after a week with rain, fog and cloudy sides on every blessed day. Wash? Not I , not after having sheets and other heavy things hanging on the line for three whole days the week before. But now that the Dun io shining the good old washing machine is due to see action once again - it will therefore be quite unnecessary for anyone to send in the sanitary authorities yet -awhile, although, come to think of it, a little air -wick would not come amiss as the kitchen atmosphere is heavy with the combined odour of pickles, pears, peaches and elderberries. Sunday afternoon Daughter and I went for a drive up "the mountain" -with a couple of baskets in the car in case we might see some- thing that was worth bringing hone. And we did. In just one spot we found elderberries such as we had never seen before. In ten minutes we each had a basket right full of black, luscious berries. Any- body like a piece of nice, fresh elderberry pie . , . or maybe a jar of jelly? Funny thing, in the Old Country there were elderberries ga- lore but I never heard of them be- ing used for anything other than wine. Well, I don't know how to make wine so I guess my family will have to be content with pies and jellies. Once our baskets were full rye were soon on our way again -right to the top of the mountain. And what a view! At least Daughter said it was - I was far too busy looking after the car to watch the scenery. The road twisted and tur- ned like a snake in the act of un- coiling itself, and then, before we knew it, we were on a different road, and coating down the mount- ain - a road entirely new to ate. Maybe I wouldn't have been on it at all had I known how steep it was. You can be quite sure 3 was driving at practically a snail's pace not knowing what mig'ht,be waiting for us round the next bend - and not liking the sharp descent any too well. One bend that went around a jutting wall of rock was almost at a right angle, and I had visions of what might happen if one lost control of the carl Too bad some of the loveliest drives in this, and other counties, are on such haz- ardois roads. Eventually we sante to the main road again and stopped to visit a young married couple whom we knew, They have a lovely little place - two or three acres of or- chard and a nice six - roomed house with a grand view of the surround- ing country. Neither the young fellow nor his wife is afraid of work 'and in the short time they have been there they have done a stream - lined job in the kitchen, put in a pressure water 'system and built as nice and compact a bath- room, complete with linen closet, as I have ever seen. Their children are happy, healthy, active young- sters. The father has a job ha an industrial plant about five miles for centuries. A cup of ginseng tea given to a Chinese on his death- bed is considered the finest tribute one can pay him. Ginseng - hunters, unmindful of tigers and bandits, go deep into the forest in search of the wild root, one four -inch piece of which. will bring a small fortune. Said one Chinese doctor, an- swering Western scientists who say there is nothing , miraculous about the plant: "It would per- haps be worth - while for the Wes- tern medical profession to ascer- tain ginseng's effect oe the Chin- ese in China rattle!. than on West- erners. Chinese seemed to be more receptive to ginseng's qualities." Ginseng is regisr(ied as a very elixir of life in other countries be- side China. The Japanese value it greatly, and it is taken as 0 powder or a decoction in Ivan, Af- ghanistan, and India. WEIGHTY PROBLEM Like a bad penny as old 800 - pound safe is the bugbear of Hall, Richard 'e4c Sons, coal dealers in Victoria, British Columbia. It just keeps turning up, Trying to get rid of the safe several years ago, the firm left it on a vacant lot. Kindly citizens returned it The coal dealers buried the safe on the same spot -hoping to see the last of it. But a bulldozer recently unearthed it, while work- ing on an excavation for a build- ing in the empty lot, Detectives isunted nn the owner's t0 return it. A lrarun:r of the firm laid: "11 is going to the junk pile -I lope for keeps." from home and most of ill; fellow - workers seen to be satisfied with homes itt a part of town that leaves much to be desired. -Why is it? I venture to say it is as much n mat- ter of temperament as circumstan- ces that is a deciding tactor in where people matte their home. When good roads make tratspor- talion so easy it is hard to under- stand why more young folic do not buy or build in the country. True, some of them have realised that to do so i:; a smart idea but thero is room in the country for plenty more. If more people moved to the country on small lots it would certainly help to relieve the hous- ing congestion in nearby cities and towns, - Ily goodness I had nearly for- gotten to mention our Honey! Sbo carte with us at our trip and when we stopped to visit we left honey in the car. We can do that any- time. nytime. Even with all the windows down I'Ioney will never make any attempt to leave the car - but she can certainly do some growlling if strangers come around while site is alone. So we went up to the house, and when we got inside there was Honey - at least we thought it was. A second glance and we knew that it was not Hon- ey but her double - saute size, sante colour, but a different shape face and a different sex. Now yon would think a little dog - would love to have a talk with one of her own kind. But not Honey, She was jealous of the other dog and jealous of 'the attention we gave the children and would not leave us at all. Dogs can be so frightful- ly jealous - and intelligent. honey always knows when the weekend conies. She always goes upstairs on Sunday mornings to see if any- one arrived during the night. I can imagine her thinking to herself - "You never can tell because some pf these young fol' keep awful hours - especially on Saturday nights!" t] -"de down to prevent peeking.
