*tot Faitay atinheArt,
It is all very well for me to
Advise a distracted young wife to
ignore her meddling in -laws -but
what is she to do when the most
offensive of them lives right next
door?
"My husband's
sister is our
nearest neighbor,
Anne Hirst,"
writes a worried
bride. "I had
not m e t her
when we mar-
ried several
months ago, but
she keeps me so
upset, day after day, that I am
almost distracted.
"She is in and out of our house
Alt the time - or she sulks and
doesn't come in for a whole week,
She treats me like a moron -tells
me where to place our furniture,
what to serve for dinner (I'ni a
better cook than she is) and even
;what to wear when we go any-
where together, (I tried to be
friendly before I knew how awful
She was, and now I'm stuck with
her.)
'AN AUTOCRATIC SNOB
"She is a born gossip, and only
1,tappy when she is repeating nasty
4hings about others. (I'll bet she

talks about me, too,) She is very
opinionated and outspoken, and n�
one else can ever win in an argu-
ment, Nobody really likes het', but
het husband is influential here,
and so they put up with her,
"At first, she snubbed rite every
time I opened my mouth. But since
she has learned that my family has
a little money, she fawns in such
a disgusting way that I aim ashamed
for her , She thinks she can
dictate niy whole life. I used to be
so lighthearted and gay; but site
brings out the worst in ate, and I
find myself almost as bad-tempered
as she isl
"Yet she has spells of being
really kind, and then I'tn ashamed.
'My husband is wonderful, He
never really liked her, and they
didn't get along even as children,
He says, 'Just tell her off' -but I'm
afraid to."
* * *
* Your husband is right, What
* this woman needs is somebody to
*. take the upper hand, and keep
* it,
* You can do that, if you will.
* You will have to remind her
* that this is your home, that you
* will decorate it as you please,
* and that the way you dress, and
* live, is none of her business,
* Once or twice, I expect, will
* suffice to convince her that you
* are a person of strong character
* who refuses to be led around by
* the nose. She will cone to re-
* spect you, and as she does, her
* attitude will change.
* Your best protection against
* her inroads on your privacy is to
* start right now to accumulate
* your own circle of friends, and
* enter into their activities. Join
* the nearest woman's club (you
* say you belonged town interest-
* ing one at home) and get on
* one or more committees. Make
* friends through your husband's
* church, Entertain them often, and
* become a person of importance in
* your community, You are tal-
"° ented, you have a gift for hospi-
* tality, and you will have no
* trouble, I'm sure.
r< These plans wiii keep you so
* occupied that you can honestly
* tell this sister-in-law that you are
* engaged days ahead, and cannot
* spend as much time with her as
* you did,
* Place your friendship on a more
* formal basis, Refuse to listen to
* her gossip, and keep conversation
"` on ideas and events. Invite her
* with her husband, now and then,
* for dinner; in his presence, she
* will have to show her best self.
* This will lessee the opportunities
* to express her unfortunate nature.
* You must protect yourself
* against her, and this is the time
* to start, Your husband backs you
* up. That is all the confidence you
* need, Your happiness is too pre-
* cious a thing to trifle with.

INGERFARM
Gvoeva.doltt,.e A. Ctaroke,
This is definitely the morning
after. The morning after time end
of a hectic week, More rain, of
course, Then when the weather
cleared the men decided it would
be better to stook -thrash than to
draw the wheat to the barn. But the
day the threshers were to come
we had another heavy shower.
More delay. By the time the wea-
ther had cleared again and the
machine on its way another thresh-
ing machine had moved in to one
of our neighbors, so that made it
bad for both of us. In the mean-
time there had been an Institute
meeting I couldn't amiss. For one
timing Edna Jaques was speaking -
and I had been given the little job
of introducing her -and was also
on the lunch committee -three good
reasons for not staying at hone.
However, the meeting over I was
soon back to making pies and apple
sauce, and figuring out the rest of
the meals, ready for threshing
either Friday or Saturday, Then
daughter phoned .. , she and friend
J. J, would be out to help us if
I would meet therm at Bronte (15
miles) at 9 o'clock Saturday morn-
ing ... she was sure the help they
could give would make up for the
time spent in meeting them. There
was logic in that, so I went. And
you know that drive was quite a
relaxation -the fresh morning air,
dew glistening on every leaf and
cobwebs on the fields and pastures
all a-sparkkle as if they had liter --
ally been sprinkled with diamond
dust. It was very beautiful.
* * *
So we threshed on Saturday
ail the wheat and half a field of
oats -and we had 12 for dinner and
14 for supper -that is including
ourselves, It was our first experi-
ence at threshing without horses-
without horses of our own, I should
say -one neighbor brought his
team. All told, there was one team
and three tractors in tate field. That
naturally led to a discussion after
the threshing as to the relative
merit of tractors versus horses,
Partner and Bob were in favor of
tractors; Johnny, who has been
working for us for the last two
Weeks, was loyal to the horses. If
he was farming on his own he
"wouldn't have a tractor on the
place," Strange to linear a young
fellow talk that way. Partner and
Bob like tractors because it is pos-
sible to get closer to the separator
and quicker getting back and forth
to the field, Several tines this sum-
mer Partner has said how glad he
was he let the horses go. Pasture
problems have been bad enough -
they would•have been worse with
the horses to worry about. But of
corse there are disadvantages to
the tractor too. There is $15 to
pay out of every few weeks for gas.
Horses might actually cost" that
much to feed if you figured the pas-
ture out in dollen and cents, but
you wouldn't notice it because it
wouldn't make any difference to
your bank account, In changing
from horses to tractors it is very
necessary to take a long-range view
all the time,
* * *
There are certainly fashions in
farming just as there are fashions
in hats and dresses. Our first
threshilmg on this farm was with
a steam . gine, We had to have a
good pile of rough wood ahead of
time as fuel for the engine. Then
there was water to draw for the
boiler before we started threshing,
and again while the men were hav-
ing their dinner, Then came the
tractor driven separator -•- with a
team to draw the separator up Into
the barn, Later the thresher had
some kind of contraption by which
the separator could be pushed into
tate barn by the tractor. The trac-
tors were big and powerful but
slow on the road. Now our
thresher has a Diesel tractor that
travels along the road almost as
fast as a car. Not only that but he's
here, and he's gone, without any
extra worts or worry to the farmer
-except paying time bill. And yet,
although threshing machines seem
to have reached time last stage in
mobility and efficiency yet they
have more conmpetitioe now then
they ever did, The combine is cer-
tainly giving therm a run for their
money. More and more farmers are
realizing how much a combine
saves them in time and labor. Some
farmers already have their own
machines, others hire them, Which
is the more economical way of
harvesting is very much time $64
question, There is no denying the .
fact that with the present shortage
of farm help, a combine, followed
by a baler, certainly solves many ,
problems -and no 'threshing meals
to worry about) I£ farming gets
much more mechanized farmers'
wives will be able to pack up in
summer time and go away for a
holiday. That will be the day.!
What do you say, friends -think
we could take it? But here is an-
other thought. If country women
took a holdiday where would city
folk go for their vacations?
11OMSCIIOOL
LESSON
by Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D.
Peter, Who Became a Main of Pow-
er Acts 4:8-20
Golden Text: Peter and the Apos-
tles answered and said, We ought
to obey God rather than men. -
Acta 5:29.
Peter, a humble fisherman, be-
came a disciple of jesus Christ, and
finally an apostle. He was a leader,
an extrovert, an energetic, impass-
ioned, and sometimes impulsive,
man, He was one of the three -Pe --
ter, James and John -• who were
closest to Jesus in His earthly min-
istry, He frequently spoke' for the
group. He made the great confess-
ion, "Thou art the Christ, the soar
of the living God"'. But a little la-
ter he reveals his lack of spiritual
understanding by rebuking Jesus
for taking time way of suffering.
Jesus turned to him and said, "Get
thee behind ane, Satan: thou art an
offence unto me: for thou savourest
not the things that be of God, but
those that be mf amen." Matt. 16:23.
At the mountain of transfiguration
he didn't ' now what to say, but
he spoke anyway. Mark 9:6. Brav-
ely he leaped out of the boat and
walked on the water to his Lord.
Then looking at the waves, he sank.
He denied his Lord, but repented.
Though he was the first to preach
to the Gentiles after Pentecost, he
was slow to reeogmiize-the full free-
dom from ceremonial law afforded
by the Gospel, Paul wrote, "When
Peter has come to Antioch, I with-
stood him to the face, because he
was to be blamed". Galatians 2:11.
But Peter was a great man. On
the day of Pentecost, when the
promised gift of time Holy Spirit
was received by the waiting dis-
ciples, he gave the leading address.
After Healing of the inan at the
temple, and time preaching that fol-
lowed, Peter and John were
brought before tate Council, They
were commanded "not to speak at
all nor teach in the name of Jesus,"
Their reply was not defiant, but it
recognized the highest authority,
"Whether
f b '
e right tin the i
h
g m sight of
g t
God to hearken unto you amore than
unto God, judge ye, For we cannot
but speak the thins which we have
seen and heard." Peter had become •
a man of power.

thing to ease the pain . . . it's

And when you take INSTANTINE
the relief is prolonged because
INSTANTINE contains not one, but
three proven medical ingredients.
These three ingredients work together
to bring you not only fast relief but
more prolonged relief.
Take INSTANTINE for fast headache
relief too . or for the pains of
neuritis or neuralgia and the aches and
pains that often
accompany a cold.
