Perhaps you, too, married one of
those inarticulate meal who seers
to have forgotten how to kiss you,
and never, never remembers to tell
you he loves you. Read one wife's
complaint:
"I am 32, Anne Hirst. My mother
died when I was born, and I can't
ever remember
my father telling
me he loved Me.
I have always
felt unwanted,
that rio one
cared for use.
Now I've been
married 14
years, and have
two girls. But
I still feel the same way,
".My husband doesn't drink or
gamble or run around, and I know
I'm lucky that he is good to me.
I know he loves me—but I'd still
like to hear him say so! I get up
at four o'clock to pack his lunch
and get his breakfast; does he say
'thank you' and kiss me good-bye?
No.
"You work hard all day cleaning
the house, taking care of the chil-
dren, fixing a nice supper. He
comes in, picks on the children till
they cry, then raises cain because
they aren't quiet while he eats. He
talks only about his job. Never a
word about how nice you look, or
how the house shines, or how things
went that day!
"You say to yourself, `Oh well,
he'll talk to inc after supper! You're
only kidding yourself. Then he
wants the paper, and the children,
ltd I aren't supposed to talk out
loud, or laugh, or sing. He reads
the paper irons front to back (in-
cluding your co1unut, so please
print this; maybe he'll realize how
lstueh we all miss his love,)
"You think, after he's through,
naybe he'll talk a while, or take
you out, You guessed wrong. He
foes to bed,
How long can you a woman
live like this? I'm not old yet. I
like to visit our friends or go to
x show. But I could get along
without those.
It is the lack of love I feel. Why
le a man so dumb that he can't
say so? I can wear a new dress
for a month before he even notices
it! Some day I'm going to forget
to clean up the house and the
children and see whether he knows
the deference, (I doubt it.)
"I guess there` no use in hop-
ing. But at least I feel better to
get this off my chest! Thanks a
lot :or reading it."

Putting Up A Game Battle --Marion, a small leukemia patient, being treated at. the Hospital
for Sick Children. There is leo known cure for leukemia, or cancer of the blood as it is soiTle-
times called, but research workers are hoping that — WITH YOUR HELP — eventually
substances will be obtained that can control or cure this dread disease.
As I think I may have told you
before I'm the sort of person who
can take my peanut butter or leave
it alone—preferably the latter.
However, that by no means
indicates that there aren't plenty
of others who do like it very
much, in fact it seems to become
more and more popular every year.
So perhaps you'd like to hare
this recipe for easily made:
PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS
2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
or 254 cups sifted pastry flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
IQ's cup peanut butter
2-3 cup milk
3' cup water
1 tablespoon shortening, melted
Mix and sift flour, baking powder,
.sugar and salt. Beat egg until light
then add peanut butter, milk, water
and melted shortening. Add liquid
to flour mixture all at once, stir-
ring only enough to combine. Fill
greased muffin tins 2-3 full and
bake in a hot oven over 400 F.,
for 20 minutes. Yield: 12 muffins.
VARIATIONS: To make a de-
licious sweet muffin to serve for
tea or supper, fill muffin this 1/3
full with the above mixture, Add
teaspoon jain or jelly to each
muffin, then add more batter until
muffin tins are 2-3 full,

You've probably heard of the
small boy who was taken to a
museum where they had an exhibit
of many different sorts of fish—
stuffed and mounted. Pausing be-
fore one labelled "SALMON" he
said scornfully, "Whoever put that
sign up must be goofy; I thought
everybody knew that salmon comes
in cans,"
And although the development of
the Frozen Food business has made
fresh fish far more easily avail- •
able, there are still a lot of us, who
live inland, who stilt get most of
the fish we eat out of cans. Here's
a way of serving i; that may be
new to some of you.
SALMON ROLL
1 pound can salmon (or any t+t!ter
fish, flaked and boned)
W.I. cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
54 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced onion
dash of pepper
Biscuit dough.
METHOD: Mix all the ingredi-
ents together -until well blended,
then make your favourite biscuit
dogh. Roll out into a 7x15 inch
rectangle and transfer to a lightly
greased heavy baking sheet. Spread
salmon mixture down centre of
dough to within two inches of either
end,
Fold over the edges, Roll over
so lengtwhise seam is underneath..
Tuck the ends under the roll. Make
stashes along top for steam to es-
cape Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 425
degrees. Place on hot serving dish.
Garnish with lemon wedges and
parsley. Serve hot with creamed
vegetables, such as peas or aspara-
gus. Serves six to eight.

There are probably hundreds of
different types of Cookie Jars, but
they all seem to have one thing
in common. Especially in homes
where there are youngsters around,
they all have a way of getting empty
in amazingly little time. Next time
it happens in your home, try these:
MOLASSES DROP COOKIES
1 cup fat or shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup molasses
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soda.
2 cups chopped raisins or dates.
2 cups chopped nutmeats
(optional)
l cup warm water.
METHOD: Cream fat and sugar;
add eggs and molasses. Sift flour
with ginger, salt and soda. Al-
ternately add flour and water to the
fat, sugar and egg mixture. Mix
well. Add raisins and ,nuts. Drop
by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased
baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees
for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cook-
ies spring back when lightly touch-
ed. When cool put in cookie jar and
try and think of new place to hide
it,
GENTLE SPRING
•'Watchmakers have their own sign
of spring—the mainspring. When a
deluge of watches with broken
mainsprings at'rives at their shops,
they know the vernal season is at
hand. Spring thunderstorms and
showers bring an abrupt change in
temperature and air pressure, and
tax the brittle steel ribbons until
they snap.
• * .v
An obstetrician should be able to
telt the arrival of spring by observ-
ing the size of the babies lie delivers.
Infants born in the spring are taller
and heavier, on the average, than
those born in other seasons, accord-
ing to statistical studies made at
johns Hopkins university.
* *
It's a common belief that many
people staffer from extreme fatigue
when spring arrives --- so-called
spring fever. 131st a biologist at
Rensselaer Polytechnic reports that
these beliefs are in error, Spring
fever is only a mild form of settrv,V{
he declare_, due to vitamin -poor
• diet in winter months — particular-
ly, vitamin C deficiency.
Police in Whte Plains, N.Y., don't
bother to watch for a robin. When
they begin to receive complaints
that baby carriages are interfering
with pedestrian traffic oat Main
Street, they are sure spring has
arrived.

COCKER SPANIELS
Of all the dogs that are so sweet,
The spaniel is the most complete;
Of all the spaniels, dearest far
The little Cocker spaniels are.
They're always merry, always hale;
Their eyes are like October ale;
They are so loyal and so black;
So unresentful 'Heath the whack;
They never sulk, they never tire;
They love the field, they love the
fire;
They never oriticize their friends;
Their every joy all joy transcends.
The Aberdeen is quaint and sly,
A harvest of the anxious eye;
The Bedlington is blue and true;
The Airedale fights till death for
you;
Yet why compare? Al! dogs on
earth
Possess some special charm and
worth,
But Cocker spaniels? Every way,'
They are the canine angels, they,
