THE WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIME SYNOPSIS At twenty-two the only thing Diana really desired was another wo- man's husband. A nervous wreck from the excitement and strain ,of London's gay life, she is taken by her aunt, Mrs. Gladwyn, to a famous specialist's office. The physician or- ders her to the country for a long rest. She rebels, but the doctor is handsome and sympathetic. She learns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant, Dr. Rath- bone. "God made the country and man made the town," he tells her, and she agrees to go to a rural re- treat Before she leaves she goes to Den- nis Waterman's flat, where they are surprised by Linda, Dennis's wife, who takes the situation quite calmly. 'I suppose she wants you to marry ler?" she asks Dennis. At the night club where she goes vith Dennis, Diana collapses. She egains consciousness in a little coun- ry cottage, with a nurse, Miss .Star- ing,• bending . over her. Dr. Rath - one's home was close by, Miss Star- ing told her. After three weeks Dennis Water - an calls. He tells her he will have o go away, and his manner, as he eaves her, suggests that his love is aning. But Dennis has not been gone many days before Diana finds her - ;elf asking Miss Starling all sorts of questions about Dr. Rathbone. Not long afterwards she learns hat there is a woman living in Dr. R Rathbone's house, a woman named osalie. Soon after the meeting' in the woods with Rosalie, Dr. Rathbone C • again at Diana's cottage. Diana, thirsting for love, turns her Noughts again to Dr. Rathbone. She thinking of him now as "Donald." Regardless of the mysterious Ros- lie, Diana resolves to see Dr. Rath- bone, She goes to his house, but as he stands at the front door the doetor's big police dog leaps at her nd she feels his teeth tearing at her hroat. Rathbone saves her from the beast 'resses her wounds and takes her to but it seldom came to anything. Diana went out into the garden. She was full of .curiosity to know. what Dennis would say to her; she supposed cynically that there would be more lies and pretense, • He came quite early. The smart two-seater raced up the road and came to a standstill at the gate where last night . .. Diana could not pursue that memory. Last night was like some live creature waiting to pounce upon her directly she was off her guard and tear her in pieces, She opened the gate and greeted Waterman with a smile. "You're an early bird," she said calmly. She led the way and as soon as they were in the sitting room Wat- erman broke out: "What became of you last night, Diana? I was worried to death. I thought something dreadful had happened. They told nie at Pelin- eiro's , that you had been and had left suddenly." Diana met his eyes serenely. "Yes. I ran away," she said, "Ran away? ..." "Yes, I found out that I didn't want to see you after all." "What do you mean?" "While I was waiting, Linda came in. It was quite an accident—she was not spying on us." "Linda? She went to Paris yes- terday morning." "She didn't; she was at Pelmeiro's last night, and we had quite a little talk together." She was quick to see the sudden suspicion in his eyes.. "It was Linda who made you change your mind," he said savagely. Diana nodded. He stared at her for a moment; then he broke out: "I've told you again and again that you cannot pay any attention' to what Linda says. She's a jealous woman." "Oh, no; she's not in the least jealous of you or of me, if that is what you mean," Diana said calmly. "I am not at all sure, Dennis, that you don't really like her a great deal better than she likes you." Don't send me away, itiana . I love you so. her own cottage. Both realize tha this is love, but Dr. Rathbone tells Diana that he can be no more than a friend, because of things in his life which he refuses to explain. He :ur- ges her to go back to London. Dennis Waterman comes to the cottage to visit her, but she does not thrill at his presence as she once did. She goes back to London,' and aiianges to meet Dennis in a private room at a restaurant. While she is waiting for him Dennis' wife, Linda, comes in. Rathbone finds that he is deeply in love with Diana, but he confesses to her that Rosalie is his wife. He had married her out of sympa- thy, when her husband had been killed in the war. But Rosalie was hopelessly insane. Diana and Rath- bone part, and a letter comes froth AMA Gladwyn calling Diana back to London., t "I don't understand what you mean. Whatever Linda told you, n you can take it from me it is not the truth," "Isn't it? Not when she said that she had offered to divorce you and that you hacl refused? I think it is the truth, Dennis." He took a step towards her. "It's a damned lie, Diana. You know I've told you scores of tunes i that I would give anything I possess (if only she would give me my free- cl0 iti" Di.ana. smiled faintly. 1 "I know you have," she agreed. "rut that is the damned lie — not what Linda said." She saw the dull colour rise slow- ly to his face, and she turned her eyes away. She felt sick and ashamed.; not for her own sake, but for his. She had once thought this man so splendid; there had been a time when she would have given him everything she possessed --body and soul—and it hurt her unspeakably to know that he was se unworthy—even of herr she told herself whimsically. After a moment she looked. at him again; in the last few minutes he seemed in 'some unaccountable way to have lost stature—to have grown ordinary. "So 'i .ran away," she said again, y, b "And I shall never run back any more, Dennis." She saw his lips move as he tried to speak, but he could find no words, ".then suddenly he went down on his NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY She could not quite fathom the re- lationship between` Diana and the gond-looking man whose voice made her own lonely heart turn over with such wistful memories, She had on - re thought . . but, of course, that was too absurd; Rathbone would ne- ver seriously consider a child like Diana, though it 'was quite possible that she might have taken a wilful fancy to him. The Creature had known, other cases where patients had temporarily fallen in love with the doctor who looked after there have been there, and at other times , it seemed as if she were just in Lon don :narking time fore some miracle to happen that would give her back the happiness for which she longed. She had heard nothing of Rath- bone since his letter: the letter to which she had written a dozen— twenty replies and destroyed them all. What was the use of writing to him. He would not answer. Miss Starling had departed for he pilgrimage to Normandy with fift pounds in her pocket, She had writ ten a pathetic note of gratitude t Diana and had sent her a pictur postcard after her arrival, of the se beating against a gigantic rock. The creature had shed a few tear when she said good-bye to Diana and Jenny had wept copiously. Diana had felt like weeping her self when she looked from the win dow of Mrs. Gladwyn's big Rolls t wave good-bye to her little group o friends: Mr. Shurey, Jonas, Mis Starling, Jenny, and one or two wo, men from the neighboring cottages Since then life had gone on very much the same as before. . She had not seen Dennis Water man again, but she had been told he had followed his wife to Paris. Poor Lindal Diana had heard who the gray- haired roan was for whom she had been waiting that night at • Palm- eiro's: Mrs. Gladywyn had got the whole story complete before she had been back in London a couple of days. "His name is Anthony Jevons," she informed Diana. "Apparently he and Linda Waterman have known one another for years." "A married man?" Diana asked without much interest, "His wife has been in a lunatic asylum for fifteen years," Mrs. Glad- wyn said with relish. "I always. think it is inquitous, tying a man to a lunatic. That is a case where di- vorce is really justified—if it ever is," she added righteously. "Perhaps he didn't want to divorce her," Diana said. "Well, he is free at last, poor roan," he aunt went on. "She died about two months ago, 'when the Watermans were in America, so I suppose the' next thing we shall hear will be that there is a divorce there." She looked at her neice sharply as she spoke, but Diana's face was in- different. Diana and Mrs. Gladwyn were dining at the Fosters' that night. Diana had only consented to go under extreme pressure.. She dis- liked Mrs. Foster. she was a "climb- er" of the most flagrant type who and who scandalized them as soon they had left her house. Jonas had written her that Rath - bone's house was up for sale, and Donald was going to live in Ameri- ica. Diana permitted herself one mo- ment of anguish. "Oh, God, I can't bear it any long- er," she said aloud. She greeted her hostess with a vague smile and discovered her aunt comfortably seated in a big. chair with a large cocktail and a plate of caviare at her elbow. Diana looked around the room without interest. The • same old crowd Diana knees, encircling her with his arms, hiding his face against her. "Don't send me away, Diana , .. I love you so I'll do anything., you want—anything in the wide world if only you won't send me away." Diana tore his Bands from about her. "It's too late," she said again, and then, breathlessly, "Don't make me hate you, Dennis." He stood up, his "face convulsed with agitation, but now she no long- er pitied him: she was only con- scious of that sick, ashamed feeling that was almost physical. • He went on pleading, imploring, reminding her of all they had been to one another -all they would yet be, Diana put her Bands over her ears, She felt that it was more than she could bear; she felt as if he were trying to strip .her naked instead of 'trying to cover and protect her, as Rathbone would have done. She said at last, brokenly: "If you only knew how you're hurting me." He misunderstood that, eagerly grasping it as a sign that he was to be forgiven; he made the fatal mis- take of trying to take her in his arms. Diana fled away from him, putting the width of the little room between them, staring at hint with wild eyes. "Don't touch me—don't ever dare to touch me again!" she stammered. They stood looking at one another as if they had been mortal enemies; then Waterman said thickly: "If I go now, Diana shall never come back." Diana felt her lips twitching into a smile, but she repressed 'it and an- swered gently: "I'm sorry, Dennis—good-bye." Waterman left the cottage with as much dignity as he could command. His conceit refused to allow him to admit defeat; he and• Diana had quarrelled so often before, and she had always been sorry. Soon—to- morrow or the next day there would come a letter from her. He kneiw so well what its contents would be. Her Iast night there, she received a letter from Dr. Rathbone. "Mr, Dear Miss Gladwyn: "I saw Slmrey this evening, and he tells me you are returning to London .on Wednesday, so in case we do not meet again before then and it is unlikely, seeing that during the next few days I shall be very busy, I want to impress upon you to take great care of yourself and not to overtax your strength. I am afraid this will read rather like a homily, but you must put it down to my poor powers of expressions rather than to any other cause. I want you always to look on the bright side and believe that life is very large- ly what we choose to make it, in spite of disappointments and sac- rificies. I am preaching to my- self as much as to you, seeing we both have to learn otir lessons in the sante hard school, "If I were an eloquent man there is so much I could say, but I know you will understand. Deep a brave heart, and keep well Good -night once again, Diana. Yours ever, Donald Rathbone." "P. S. I have added the post- script yoti spoke about on the other side,".. Diana turned the page with a hand tat trembled; her heart seemed to e turned to water, and there was a nist before her eyes so that for a ttle while she could hardly make ut the last words he had written. They were.: "I love once as I live once, What case is this to think or talk about? I love you," CHAPTER XX Diana's maid Anna drew the cur - ins back witha sharp little rat- e,' letting in the morning light.

Milk is the most valuable single food which we possess, and it is for this very reason that it is of the ut- most importance that this food be perfectly safe. Fortunately for us, it can be made perfectly safe and there' is no reason why milk should not be used freely on that account. Milk may be dangerous because it may act as the conveyor and dis- tributor of disease germs. Because milk is so widely used and consum- ed in such large quantities, it is ob- vious that if it is contaminated with the germs of disease, it is almost sure to spread disease amongst a large number of people.

We return to the subject' of :pas- teurization of milk in order to em- phasize its importance. 'Are make no Disease germs may also gain en- trance into the milk from the milker or other milk handlers, The germs. of disease are to be found not only in the bodies .of those actually ill, but also during the time when they are coming down with the disease and often fora considerable time af- ter recovery. The germs leave the body in the secretions and excretions of the body So it is that coughs, sneezes, particles of saliva, or excreta re- maining on unwashed hands are like- ly to carry disease germs and if they gain entrance to the milk, then the milk is contaminated and will spread' the germs to those using the milk. It is in this manner 'that scarlet fever, septic sore throat, typhoid fe- ver and human, tuberculosis are spread by mill.. There is no system of inspection and one may say there is no measure of practical care that can be taken that will assure the safetly of raw milk. There is only one practical method .of making; milk safe and that is pasteurization, failing which, milk should be boiled before use. Our aim should be as. clean a milk as possible from heal- thy cows rendered safe by pasteuri- zation.

INCE the animal vacation has become part of modern life, the decision as to where it will be spent is of considerable importance Canada has a particular appeal to the vacationist, for it has an' unusual variety of attractions,. which may be enjoyed, at reasonable cost. Recreation 'Areas Easily Reached For most people, the sutnmerva- cation is limited to.;a few weeks and is really shortened by the time used in travelling to and from the local- ity selected. Canada has an exten- sive system of good roads and ex- ceilett railway, services, which great - facilitate travel between provinces. Attractions Cover Wide Range Canada •presents a striking divers- ity of natural features -the rugged and picturesque Atlantic coast; • the St. Lawrence river and Great Lakes, the world's greatest inland water- way; the Laurentian motiotains,land of forest and stream; the prairies; the majestic Rockies; and the beau- tiful Pacific coast. Each; of these areas has its own • attractions of scenic beauty and opportatinities for enjoyable recreation. Fishing, hunt- ing, can ping, canoeing and mountain clintibtig may all be enjoyed under ideal conditions, while golf and ten- nismay be played parctically every- where. Accommodation includes ev« erything from: camp site to luxurious hotel. Those to whom economy is a matter of concern may spend a pleasant vacation close to nature, at surprisingly small cost.
