"He has been like that for the 31 years of our marriage. H e nags all t h e time and finds fault with everything I say or do. He jealous that he has accused me of dating my own relatives, and any man that comes to the house! He gives me no spending money; I have to buy all my own clothes. "I have raised six children, of whom I am very proud. "I have worked hard to help pay for our home, and I honestly believe I have done everything possible to have peace. But noth- ing seems to help.

LOVE COMES LATE "Dear Anne Hirst: "Last summer a man asked nye to marry him. I wasn't sure of myself (and I take marriage seriously) so I put him off. Finally he got tired of waiting, and walked out. 'Then I knew I loved him. "I have used every opportunity to be friendly with hint since, and let him realize that I see differently now. But he is bitter, and wants nothing to do with me. (I think he still cares for me, though). He is going with another girl now (who; is not right for him) and I'm afraid he will marry her. "Is there anything I can do? Or must I just lose everything? I'm not a child. I'm 25, and 1 • know what I want. SORRY". * I cannot believe this man 's loves you, or he would jump at • the chance of getting you back. * If I am mistaken, then he is be- * ing spiteful—and who wants to * marry a man who would hurt * you so? • * I think that what has happened * is for the best. * You cannot do more than you * have done. So face the truth, * and plan a different future for * yourself. I am sorry. * * * If your husband has turned against you, your children, who owe you so much, should be your comfort . . .

Beets and turnips contain iron. Tomatoes are good for the liver and stimulate it. Celery is good for clearing the complexion. Asparagus is good for the kid- neys. Q. How can I remove candle tallow stains from table linen? A. Place a blotter over and a blotter under the stain. Press with a hot iron. Repeat this process, shifting the blotters each time, un- til the tallow disappears. Q. How can I prevent sewing machine oil from spotting mater- ial? A. After oiling the sewing ma- chine, it is well to sew through a blotter, which will absorb any ex- cess oil and thus prevent spotting any valuable material. Q. How can I remove mildew from cloth? A. Put a tablespoonful of chlor- ide of lime into a quart of water, strain it twice, then dip the mil- dewed places into this weak solu- tion. Lay them in the sun. If the mildew has not disappeared when dry, repeat the process. Q. How can I make 'use of leftover mashed potatoes? A. Roll the potatoes into patties immediately upon taking from the dinner table. Place the patties in the refrigerator and use at the next meal by rolling in flour and cook- ing slowly in the frying pan with either butter or drippings.

O IC E� INGE 17 Gtnt-I.doline P. CIA' bis Most people in Ontario will remember the summer of 1952 if for no other reason than for its long spell of excessively hot and humid weather. Unless my memory is playing tricks this weather made its debut on June 22 so we have had exactly a month of unpleasant- ly sticky weather. I remember that date—June 22—because it followed the first official day of summer, when the house was so cool we were glad to put a few sticks of wood in the furnace! The next day, —and ever since—what a :different, story. And the heat is witli us yet., But we have had rain at last, thank goodness—in fact too much for those who have wheat in the stooks. And in some parts of the country the weatherman sent more than rain—that we realized yesterday on our way home from Guelph. We had been to visit a friend, lately returned from England, and since Bob was our driver we did not stick to the main highways. For one thing, we went to see what at- tractions Puslinch L a k e had to offer—we , had heard of it so often' but had never seen it. It is a lovely spot, especially for those who en- joy swimming and boating. So many motor -boats skimming their way over the vast expanse of water. There was also a bathing beach; a baseball diamond; a race track for motor cycles; slides, swings and a merry-go-round for the children; a refreshment booth and plenty of shady spots, complete with tables and benches, for those who enjoy picnic lunches. There is also a small admission fee which includes park- ' ing st.ace. I mentioned not sticking to the highways so we were hardly pre- pared for the amount of traffic we met on the narrow township roads. However, after awhile we discover- ed the reason. We carne to an area where a freak storm last week bad done a terrific amount of damage in just a little while. Trees were uprooted — such huge trees, that even a bulldozer would have quite a time in lifting. Telephone poles toppled over, roofs blown off and a barn reducer' to matchwood.

TORONTO I(l nwood 9417 such another storm as struck the Hornby district near here last year. From the scene of devastation we travelled on towards Galt and then by circuitous means began our homeward drive. When we were only about five miles from home Bob took us up the Mountain—for about a mile we travelled in creep- er gear, along a road where two cars could not possibly pass. The view from the precipitous rocky slopes was well worth the climb— just so long as I wasn't driving, said I to myself! We also visited a couple of gravel pits where father and son looked over the huge equipment necessary for gouging into the depths of the earth. What pleasure it is to any man working one of those huge power shovels I can't imagine. Bob said the in- side of his cab registered 116 one day last week! When we got home it was about four o'clock a n d Partner im- mediately looked around to make sure the cows were all right. He noticed one cow standing by her- self on the ban,f".'the creek—the others were on l'ieefer side of the field. Cows, b,. iilde..:len:rally gre- garious creatuls,°,lie cow by it- self always arcl'uses suspicion. So what did Par<hner ^find? It was Browsy, a full grown Durham cow, stand.ng with her head wedged be- tween two sturdy willow trees, as neatly as if she were tied up in her stall. She was not hurt in any way, and with Partner's help she man- aged to extricate herself. I don't know why it is but things have an uncanny way of getting into trouble when a farm is left too long itself, and for that reason we are never too happy if all of us are away at the same time. Farm animals • must surely have some kind of instinct Jor knowing when is i$ safe to get into mischief. In driving through the country how often one sees cows enjoying stolen freedom in an oat field., or pigs among the corn roots, and one im- mediately thinks -- "I guess the family is away for the day on that farm!" Unfortunately, ill-got- ten freedom often ends in disaster. Just imagine, if that cow of ours, caught between the trees, had been out on rented pasture, she would probably have died from hunger and thirst — and how the poor thing would have sufffered. Sonie years ago one of our neighbours lost a heifer in a similar accident— it fell and was trapped between two boulders. Now to bed, and a little more sleep — if that is possible. The time is 2.45 a.in.. Heat and a sharp thunderstorm kept nee awake. Toss- ing restlessly seemed such waste of time—writing this column seemed a much better idea. So here it is. THE LOW-DOWN The collection department of a Toronto firm tried a new approach on a recalcitrant account in a small village in the farm belt. "Dear Mr. Caldwell," their letter began. "sVhat would all your neighbors think if we came to your town and repossessed your car?" In due course their letter came back, with this message scrawled across the bottom, "Gents: I have taken up this matter with my neighbors and they think that it would be a lousy trick" Ragged Heritage—Probably feel' ing as though he's looking In a mirror, Fred Stone, who creat- ed the role of The Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, checks hits daughter Dorothy's outfit as she prepares to play the part for that first time in Sacramento, Calif.
