It would accomp- lish the sante thing, "The very fact that the daugh- ter-in-law wanted to hurt her by taking the children away, . and that her son hasn't visited her as he used to ,would indicate that they blame her.

HR N CL S 4.29,11FNAli Friends, it you ever intend visiting, for the first time, some- one who lives in a new sub -di- vision let me advise you to find out the exact location el the house, otherwise you may find yourself on the same sort of wild goose -chase some friends and I experienced a few weeks ago when I was in Ottawa. The pos- tal address of the person I want- ed to call on was Quarries, P.0.— no street, no house name or num- ber— so I naturally concluded that once Quarries was located the rest would be easy. I couldn't have made a bigger mistake. We found Quarries without a n y trouble—east of Ottawa. We also found new sub-divisions—plenty of them. We wandered up one road and down the next: We stopped to inquire from at Least a dozen persons ,. "did anyone know where Mrs, F. lived." Nu - body did. I remembered the des- cription of the house in her last letter — "a nice little five -room bungalow about two years old." But that same description suited scores and scores of other houses that we passed. And the roads, streets, or whatever they call them—one was exactly like an- other, all the same length and width, with front lawns and cement walks leading to almost identical bungalows or cottages, the only noticable difference be- ing in the colour of the roof and possibly the front door. No doubt the inside of the houses showed a little more individuality but from the outside any person might he excused if he didn't recognize' his own dwelling and walked into the wrong house by mistake. In fact I know a man who did just that and was quite surprised when a woman who wasn't his wife came forward to greet him. Just to keep the rec- ord straight I might add this man was a total abstainer! Well, to cut a long story short we never did find Mrs. F., and then, as luck would have it, Mrs. F. called here one clay last week -and I was in Toronto. I might add she didn't have any trouble in locating us—you don't often find two farm houses that look exactly alike, Even if the archi- tecture is similar the setting of one house is generally completely different from another — even though farm folic have not as yet taken to painting their front doors either pink or yellow, But of course that time may come -- you never can tell. Especially if one had paint that needed using up—the cost of paint being quite a consideration in these old houses. For instance our dining - room is 18 feet square; one bed- room and the living -room 18 x 20. Buying paper and paint for rooms that, size really runs into money, IT MAY BE YOUR LIVER If Itfe'a not worth living it may bo your livors It's a teeth It takes up to two pinta of liver bile a dayto tromp yourdtgootivo tract in top ahapol If ur liver bile is not flowing freely your food may not digoat ... gas bleat, up your stomach ... you fool comltIpatod and all the fun and sparkle go out of life at's anryon !sod mud gentle CartonThs Little ee Pills.

They were in for supper tonight so now, with a married daughter and a married son we really feel we have a family, Family ... wait until I tell you of our other family! We have imported two little kittens, I was supposed to bring one home for Daughter but when I saw the two together I hadn't the heart to part thi'ni so I brought them both home with me. Tippy and HIoncy just love thein but Mit- chie-While uses all the swear words in his cat vocabulary and the kittens reply in kind, 'tonight we really had quite a picnic. Two dogs, two eats and two kit- tens all in the house at tate same time, and all wanting to be fed,.:. I looked after the dogs first and put their dishes out in the wood- shed. Then I shut the kittens in the sunroom and fed the cats in the kitchen. When they were through I put then) outside and let the kittens in. Truly, there is never a dull moment around this house. We also have new stock at -the barn—our first heifer calf arriv- ed last week and we bought sixty laying pullets—after selling out moulting hens. The pullets are hybrids, Rock and Hampshire crossed. Nice, quiet, contented little biddies—or so we thought until we found five of then run- ning around in the lane. The main window frames in the pen have wire screening but another window higher up is unprotected The pullets found it and spread their winds in search of liberty. Partner called to me for help just as 1 was getting dinner We managed to run the pullets into the cow -stable and eventually caught them—but believe me it took longer to do than it does to write it. Potatoes for dinner that day were over -cooked and un- salted. We wonder , . . is lack of in- terest on the part of farmers themselves responsible for many of their problems remaining un- solved?
