Dear Anne Hirst: "What can you
do with a husband that is never
satisfied?
"We've been
married 12
years. My hus-
hand has nagged
me through
them all.
"I do every-
thing he asks me
to, and try so
hard to please
hint. But it is
no use.
"In all our married life, I have
never been allowed to choose my
own clothes he always makes me
buy what he likes. When it is any-
thing for the house, he has to ask
his sisters' opinions first; if they
like it, he'll get it. He likes com-
pany and we have a lot, I'm eon-
aidered a good cook and everybody
enjoys coating here—but his con-
stant nagging spoils everything for
me.
"He is careless with his clothes,
throwing them on the floor or
hanging them on doorknobs. Then
Le gripes because I don't keep the
house straight! I do keep it
straight—until he gets home.

old. We never see eye to eye in

I've tried both ways and find I can

Then he tells ane how his sisters

"My nerves are giving way under
all this contention, He has to have
his way in everything. I have been
told he has always been this way,

ROW CAN 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I clean a light fur?
A. Mix 1 pint of flour, 1 table-
spoon of fuller's earth, and 1 pint
of bran. Rub into the fur thorough-
ly, then shake well, and rub again
with bran alone. Shake the fur
once more and follow by brushing
' with a soft clean cloth.
Q. How can I stiffen the brush-
es of my carpet sweeper?
A. Take the brushes out of the
sweeper and dip them several times
into hot water, to which. a little
common baking soda has been
added. Then let the brushes dry
in the sun.
Q. How can I cause the scars
from pimples to disappear?
A. Bathe the scars with a solu-
tion of boracic acid, followed by
an application' of zinc ointment.
Q. How can I shrink dress
goods?
A. Place the goods folded in a
tub of cold water, to which a few
handfuls of salt have been added.
After a few hours, hang on the
line "tyltitout unfolding. The weight
of the salt prevents wrinkles from
drying in, and the salt sets the
color.
Q. What is a good food for
persons suffering from nervous di-
seases and rheumatism?
A. Celery is excellent. It can
be cooked with a cream sauce, or
just stewed with a butter sauce.
Use it 'with salads, steered toma-
toes, or stuffings.
Q. How can I improve the
flavor of applesauce?
A. Add a few drops of lemon
juice. This is especially effective
if the apples have a flat taste.
Q. How can I remove Vaseline
jelly stains from clothing?
A. Moisten the spots with a
mixture of 1 part aniline nil, 1 part
powdered soap, 10 parts water. Al-
low to remain for ten minutes, and
then wash with water.
Q. How can I add nutritive -val-
ue to mashed potatoes?
A. Try boiling them in their
jackets, then remove the skins, and
mash the potatoes until fluffy.
What is left over will make ex-
cellent potato cakes,
Q. How can 1 revive the faded
colors in a garment?
A. A little vinegar in the rinse
water after laundering will help
revive the colors.
Q. How can I clean marble?
A. Pound together two ounces
of washing soda, three ounces of
powdered pumice, and one ounce
of powdered chalk; pass this
through a sieve, 'rake a little of
the powder and make it into a
paste with cold water, rub it over
the marble, and when all stains

water,

sleep last night when three things
happened at one and the same lime.
A Deisel - engine train blared its
way along the track --' might have
been heading straight for our bed-
room from the sound of It — a
four -engine plane flew Pow right
over the house. and Bob. drove
down the lane with his noisy truck
ell ronc, I believe, to help some
other fellow, also with a truck, who
had slipped into the ditch near our
gate. Later there were sounds of
trucks in low gear — presumably
a. tow -truck pulling the, other fel-
low on to the road. So there was
plenty of noise for half -an -hour or
so, but in the city where there Is
noise all the time, what 1' heard
would probably never have been
noticed at all.
But maybe we had' better get
ourselves used to, noise because
pretty soon there will be Pots of it.
YOU see we are right oe, a partly
constructed highway and the
equipment has already been as-
sembled for a paving job. Apparent-
ly the surface is to be what is
known as "Mit-mix."' Hot mix or
cold mix, or anything else they
like to call it is all right with us
just so long as we get a• highway
that is free of dust, dips and hol-
lows — which is what we have had
for about twenty years, even
though this stretch of road has
been officially known for that
length of time as Ilighw..y No,
25. Believe inc, however great
the noise, it is noise that will be
most welcome.
Well, the year is surely speeding
away into the limbo - of forgotten
yesterdays. Wonder why time pas-
ses so much quicker as we get
older? Seems just as if we were
travelling in a high-speed vehicle,
minus the braises. And it is such
a pity to have these lovely days. go
hurrying by — frosty mornings,
bright sunny days — so different
from the weather that was handed
out during the time the ploughing
match was in progress at Alliston.
You would think when so much
depended on him the weatherman
would be a little more co-operative.
Dob was there on the Thursday
and he said it rained nearly all the
time — and that was one day it was
fine down here and we were think-
ing happily that he had :truck a
good day.
When Bob spoke of going to the
Ploughing Match I happened to
say that that was one event I had
never yet been to see. Bob told
me 1 wouldn't find anything there
that would interest rue. I wonder?
Seems t0 ire whenever a large
number of people get together in
one place there is bound to be
something interesting all the time.
Maybe some of you ladies who do
go to the big ploughing matches
might like to tell inc if I am
missing out on something worth-
while. It would be nice to get a
few highlights from a woman's
point of view. Sometimes our
menfolk don't get quite the right
slant on just what is likely to in-
terest us, Although I am quite
sure that in our younger days if
Partner and I could have gone to
a ploughing match together we
would have had no trouble in find-
ing a common interest. I know
we would have had a good time
and found much that was challeng-
ing and diverting. But in those
days we were so busy making a
living we didn't have tither the
time or opportunity to take in such
worthwhile events, Now we are
older it would be more of an Si,.
fort and, we wonder would the
game be worth the candle?
How mucic easier it is these days
for young farmers to get away.
With our fast moving cars distance
is 11.0' obstacle. Most places are
accessible with a few hours driving.
And with hydro and milking mach-
ines on so. many farms it doesn't
take two. or three hours to get the
chores done before and after the
trip. Certainly there is less help
on. farms now than at any time in
history — on the other hand fess
help, is needed. But I generalize
too, much. Because we live in a
well -populated district, where pro-
bably 9(J% of the farmers have
ityi:ro. power and can thus make
use of labour - saving convenien-
ces, I ant afraid 1 sometimes for-
get that other• more isolated dis-
tricts still depend on hand power
for most of their work,. and coal -
oil lamps and lanterns as the only
means of illumination to lighten
their darkness. But for your conso-
lation, let rue remind you that the
more. electrical equipment you have
around the more there is likely
to' be machanical trouble. 1f some-
thing goes wrong with the milker
and you suddenly have to milk by
hand it disorganizes your whole
day. Or if your electric washer
refuses to function you feel it is
a major tragedy to finish your -
washing by hand. And now the
hydro rate has gone up—so what?
That's another thing you don't have
to 15 orry about.
"Hum Pudding"
Theory Of
How World Began
.4s year ago Nobel laureate Dr.
Harold el. Urey advanced the hypo-
thesis before the National Academy
of Sciences that the newborn earth
was- a plum -pudding mixture of
iron -nickel alloys and stony stuff.
Iron-nickkel alloys sank to form the
dense core of the earth, the stony
materials rose to form the outer
layers. At a recent meeting of the
academy lie developed tills thesis:
Evidence that the earth was origi-
naily a sort of plum pudding comes
Irons studies of the structure, of
Mars.. which ie. still thought to be a
mixture of metal' and rocks, without
an iron core, Stony meteorites are
such mixtures.
The sinking iron core of the earn
tend'¢ to speed up. the rotation of the
earth, an effect which, says Dr.
Urey,. is more than overcame by
the braking action of tidal friction.
Without assuming the acceleration
caused by the sinking core and the
stowing down caused by tidal fric-
tion, certain accelerations of the
sen and moon in 4beir orbits can-
not be satisfactorily, explained. If.
Dr. trey is rigiit, the study of
earthquake waves indicates that the
earth has not yet completely sep-
arated into an iron core and a stony
crust.
