At least that is the way I felt last week after spending day sifter day in the garden—pruning, clipping, weeding and transplant- ing.. Never befope have I done such complete sheen -up job in the fall, And I still need another two days to really finish the job. One thing is certain it was good for me—and It was good for the garden, even though my hands are a sight to behold... and my knees I during the day a rubber kneeling mat was my only salvation—and at *lght a good rubbing of liniment, Partner was always saying—"Why don't you let up a bit?" But how Could I let tip when we were have- ing such wonderfully co-operative weather—a high of 70, no less. Incidentally Partner didn't show much sign of letting up himself. He was doing very much the same kind of work as -I was, only heavier, and along the fences. Every day we had a glorious bonfire as a re- Ault e-ault of our combined efforts be- cause whenever I had so much brush around ire I could hardly move, Partner would cone to the rescue, take away the brush ane burn it. While we were thus en. gaged Bob was chugging away in Me front field at his fall plough- ing. So together it was a typical picture of autumnal farm activities, complete with a casualty thrown SRN Atli, ,\ good shirt -'-the foundation of your 0.sepai'ates wardrobe!

Oh yes, we didn't get away without that. One day at noon Partner walked into the kitchen, put out his hand and said—"Do you think you can handle this, or is it one foe the doctor?" "This" was a huge thorn that had gone in at one side of Partner's thumb and come out the other. Not just tinder the skin but through the, fleshy part of the thumb. I looked at it dubiously and prepared to oper- ate. But then 1 thought—"What if it should break? It would certainly• be one for the doctor then. In which case Partner aright as well •go first as last and save trouble. No sense taking chances with a thing like that, There have been too many fatalities resulting from blood poi- soning from injuries even less ser- ious.' So it was the doctor who re- moved the splinter. He also gave Partner a shot of something—pre- sumably anti -tetanus serum. Now the thumb is as good as new. Well, by Saturday i thought it was time I reserved a few hours fur . giving the house a once-over, otherwise l was afraid when Daughter carte house for the week- end she aright think I had forgotten how to use 'a num and duster. But oh dear, the wind gut up and It turned cold. It also rained—such a heavy rain. Doors banged, windows rattled, and the kitchen fire smoked. It was a grand day for clean- ing house! So quickly our weather can change. . , one day working a house dress; the next day going in the garden and too (tot even in down tdwn and getting my fur coat out of storage. Now the weath- er has moderated again. The sun is shining brightly overhead although along the horizon there are banks of slow-moving billowy white clouds—a sky to delight an artist. Ilut wiry should I say an artist particularly? One doesn't have to be an artist to appreciate a lovely sky. It may take the brush of an artist to reproduce such beauty 00 canvas but certainly ordinary folk like you and Inc are quite as well able to appreciate these pictures Nature paints. A funny thing happened Saturday morning. I had been working away for some time when suddenly I noticed my watch had stopped— watches have a way of doing that if one forgets to wind them. The bedroom clock was going but I knew it wasn't right, so 1 turned an the radio to get the time, i heard a newscast going on and the an- nouncer wound up by saying "Our next newscast will be at eleven o'clock," "That's fine -the morning is early yet," I said to myself. And then I stopped in my tracks. "But that's crazy — or the radio is. It must be later than 10 o'clock." So I listened again, and presently the announcer said — "This is station so-and-so." (i have forgotten what the call letters were.) Presently I realised it was Niagara Falls 'I was listening to — and Niagara Falls is on standard time! Maybe I should start a few clocks going in this house again — and put some on fast time and sante on standard! I suppose there must be many a comedy of errors these days as a result of this two-time confusion, How nice it will be when we are back to normal and can hear our favourite programmes without stay- ing up half the night to do so.

Barclay Warren THE GREAT INVITATION Isaiah 5S:1-11 GOLDEN TEXT: Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call' ye upon Him while He is near. Iso. 55:6.' Here indeed is et buyers' market. "He that hath no motley; come ye, buy, and eat" Isaiah proclaims the great 'invitation in terms readily understood. He offers a very poign- nant reproof for our day, "Where- fore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your lab- our for that which satisfieth not'?".. What millions are squandered an- nually in ,Canada in such pursuits! Isaiah offers a better way: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let hint return unto the'LORD and IIe will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." The golden text reminds us that the matter of seeking the Lord is an urgent one. If we postpone there will come a time when He will not be found. Deatl will close the door of opportunity. Also we inay harden our hearts against the Gos- pel call, until God is no longer near. This matter is more urgent than that of insurance on your life or property. We ought to seek the Lord right now. You will be utter- ly amazed at the good things which • God has in this life for those who cone to the Gospe' feast. Here is life, eternal ife. 0 ,that we might become earnest as Christian in Pil- grim's Progress who put his fingers in his ears, and ran on, crying. "Life! life! eternal life!" The lesson closes with an affirm- ation of the power of God's word. "It shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please." When the works of Marx and Hitler will have been for- gotten, soars Word still standeth sure. Let us search the Scriptures.

Milo performs this and other feats of strength for a daily crowd of 5000 people, Better Let The Doctor Prescribe Twelve -year-old Mary Smith complained, "Mother, I've a sharp pain in my right side, and f feel nauseated." "Tell me about it," suggested her cautious mother. "When and where did you first notice the pain?" "Yesterday. It started with a dull ache in my stomach," "You'd better go to bed and rest awhile. We'll watch it. If it isn't any better by noon, we'll call the doctor " "May 1 have a hot water bottle?" "That isn't wise," answered her mother: "Should this turn out to be appendicitis, heat or cold only dulls the pain, but does not lessen the danger." Later. when Dr. Ferguson cane and made a blood count, he bun- dled .Vary right off to the hospital for further diagnosis. He had found a sharp increase in the "white count" of her blood. (In appendi- citis, like other infections, this is the body's own method of combat- ing invading germs). An operation followed soon after, Mary had no complications, writes Matilda Rose McLaren in "Successful Farming." Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small' worm shaped organ attached to the be- ginning of the large intestine, It probably starts with a blockage of the appendix by fecal matter from the large intestine. This then inter. feres with drainage, injures the walls, and permits germs to set up an infection. While children and young tolls front five to 25 are usually suscept• - ible to the disease, it is no respector of age. if you notice symptoms similar to Mary's, call a doctor at once. It's not safe to wait. You may have a severe attack of ap- pendicitis in which the inflamma- tion subsides without an operation, but never entirely clears up. Mild attacks may recur, and between thein you may or may not feel well. In such cases, the physician niay advise an operation, even if symp- toms are mild, because it's possible the next attack may be severe and you may not he able to get nmed• ical care quickly. If you have abdominal pain and nausea, you may also be constipat- ed or have diarrohea. But avoid taking a laxative or enema. Either may cause the appendix to burst and spread the infection into the abdominal cavity. The generalized abdominal infection which may fol. low is the gravest danger of acute appendicitis. While awaiting the doctor's ar- rival, avoid physical exercise. Rest in bed. Accept no food and only a small amount of water for refresh. KIDNEY ACTIVITY VITAL TO HEALTH Don't wait until you become depressed, but avoid backache and rheumatism by taking KLAAS TILLY DUTCIS DROPS as soon as you suspect sluggish kidney action.
