The condition of night blindness is not confined to children alone. Many adults suffer from the same “thing and it is certain that acme 'automobile accidents are due to ihis 'defect in vision. The remedy is plain. Eat more spinach. "The test "applied to the solution of the problem by these Danish doc- tors was as follows: One hundred and six children between the ages of two months and two years were selected for the experiment. The children who remained well and who were nursecl‘by their mothers either wholly or in-part, were found to have pmpe'r vision. But those who were fedvon a mixed diet or who suffered from some 'disease, had varying deâ€" grees of night blindness. ‘When Vitâ€" amin ‘A‘was-rg'iven to these chilch‘en, their eyesight showed' an improve- mentiin from ’1’0'to 15 minutes.

But if it is a girl, I will call her Olga. I want another Olga in the house. Ask Olga. Ask God, please.” And then the fingers of both tighten on the other’s hand and they say a short prayer for Olga, lying in her grave in the slope of the hill in the northeast corner of the home lot. They have done this for three years. IIe and Veda rest one day of ev- ery Week. Veda Iaughingly declares she never does a tap of work on Sunday. All three meals have been prepared the night beiore.

They are devout Christians Jan and Veda but this service is more pagan than Chfisfian. It k ahnog forbidden by the Christian religion. It is an attempt to do what never has been done since Christ raised his right hand! with pointing fingers, in a graveyard of Zion and said “Lazarus arise and come forth!” Jan and Veda try to talk with their dead. They have the Bible and it is open at the chapter which tells of the raising of Lazarus‘firom the dead. And Jan ‘I‘eads it. And he shuts the book. And he takes Veda’s hand in his. “Olga,” he says, and his eyes are half shut, “are you happy. where Wm are?” There is a pause and both of them listen. Then, “Olga, are you satisfied with the way I’ve treat- ed Veda?” Another pause. “Olga, if you could see the farm we think you would be content. It is a good farm. It is a fertile farm. Things grow. Seeds are planted in your name. You must be in favor in Hea- ven because the crops always come ill. Olga, here is Veda.” And- Veda leans forward, her hand clutching Jan’s. Four years ago Olga and Veda were known in Leeds as the Ralle sisters. Olga was then 24, Veda 20. Together they ran the farm which is now Jan Bayer’s with the help of hired hands. They ran it as well as two women can run a farm. But women cannot run a farnL Running a farm is heavy work. It is man’s work. Jan himself is a handsome man.

RWOND EEL, ONTARIO y ......... “Come on,” she said, her mind made up, “Help me in with him.” The next morning Jan came awake in the barn. It was cracking dawn. He could smell the two horses and the seven cows even before he arose. He got up. He found a lantern. Force of habit set him to work be- cause he was a farmer. He cleaned the stalls. He shook dOWn some hay and fed and watered the beasts. He was doing it when Olga and Veda came down to the barn. Olga looked beyond Jan at the ani- mals. Her eyes lighted with approv- a1. Olé'a looked at him carefully. He looked like a boy in a man’s great body. So big, so- helpless, so irres- ponsible. 1A. .1 Good Friday was the day to plant potatoes. There was 'no'ro‘dher day as good. How did they know? Their father, dead 1'0 years now Ehad told them. He had shown them. He had never planted potatoes at any other time. He always planted potatoes on Good Friday, even if there was snow on the ground, even if there was snow falling. And he never lost a crop. Olga worried. ’She was a large, slender woman with fire and- drive in her eyes. She was more beauti- ‘ful than Veda. She was dark and her eyes were gray and ‘her chin was set and there were furrows a- .cross her forehead. They had been etched there by worry and respon- sibility because, ever since she was ‘14 she had been the woman of the Ralle house.“ And now she worried about men. There was not a man available in Leeds and there was not a man coming to Leeds because these days men did not come to Leeds. There was nothing in Leeds for them. And here it was Holy Thursday. " “Girls!” They stopped and he shuf- fled back to where they stood. “You lookin’ for a hired man?” He ask-ed. They nodded and bent forward eagâ€" erly. “Thought of you when I seen him. There’s a big fellow lying over in the ditch behind Gettners. He’s Godâ€"awful drunk. But he ain’t a drunk by habit. Tell that by the way, three drinks knocked him over. I’ll go over and help you put him in your flivver. You can bring him out and let him sleep in the barn. If he’s there in the morning maybe you’ll have a hired hand.” They were shocked. They start- ed to protest. Veda’s lips were open to give Zuey a good piece of her mind. But Olga stopped her. They had to have a man to get in those potatoes. They went over to look at the drunk and they had their first sight of Jan Bayer, asleep in the ditch. “How do you do, Mr. Blake,” Olga said. V “Hello Zuey,” Veda smiled. He mumbled a reply and fumbled along the sidewalk and then' a thought pierced his addled brain and he stopped and turned around slowly and called back. “Good,” She said. “You are a far- mer. We need a hand. Can you be- gin planting potatoes today?” Jan did not say a wbrd. He kept There was nothing in Leeds. The two stems idled in the sunshine of a premature spring day. The house of Dr. Wythe was white and haugh- ty. The road stretched toward the world’s unknown. A hound dog dozed. There were no men for the farm. No men for anything. There were the storekeeper and one policeman and Zuey Blake the town drunk. But all these were married and working. And Zuey was neither married nor working. And who would want Zuey for either 'marriage or work? Both girls had that in mind whem they passed him, shaking and blear eyed on the street. But they spoke to him because they.‘ were Christians and he was one of Gods unforhnp ates. Veda said nothing. She laughed because she wanted to go to town any time. It relieved the monot- ony. ‘She dressed and the two sis- ters c’fimbed into the ramshackle fliver and snorted in to town. There was nothing in Leeds. The It was waning- on to Good Friday and the weather was mild. 'The back of winter had been broken. The stars shone softly at night and the sun hit the earth "hard 'at the angle which seemed‘to Iliace it jusi above the east end of the earth in the morn- ing, above the west end at night. That year then:- was a .énortage of men in Leeds. Things were very bad and most of the menlhad gone 0p to Carthage to live on the town. Even the youngsters .h‘ad- gmne to join the OCC camp. Olga and Veda worried about thE plan-ting. "Get your things on, Veda," Oiga said suddenly a little after noon. “Something tells me to go‘ to town and I will find a man.” looking at Olga.

It was good for Olga. It was bad fur Veda. Jan worshipped Oiga. He did not lmow that Veda existed. Don’t forget to attend Maple Field Day on Dominion Day, July lst. That is why in the dusk of a Sun- day evening, come Winter, spring, summer or fall, Jan and Veda Bayer try to talk with their dead. The thing happened suddenly the day before'their wedding day. Olga went to town alone for some sup- plies. Jan was in the field. Veda listlessly did her work in the spotâ€" less kitchen. A strange car drove into the dooryard. They lifted Olga from it and put her on her bed. She and the flivver had been side- swiped by a truck. She lived only an hour. But in the last minutes of that hour she said- to Jan: They called the minister from the next room and he performed the ceremony. Olga died happily. THE THIRD TIME (Durham Chronicle) Mrs. Warfieid alias SimpSOn. stood up before the Mayor of Monts, France, on June 3rd, and promised to obey the Duke of Windsor. This is the third time this woman has made this same promise to some man and “Jan, you must marry Veda. She loves you and she will be alone in the world. She will make you a good Wife. Will you Jan?” “Yes,” Jan growled. “Marry her now. While I can see and hear." if she is spared, she may yet fool some husband by keeping her word. man she had met so short a time before, Jan must wait. Veda lay in her bed on these nights and writhed with the agony of an impassible de- sire. She wanted Jan. Jan [and Olga six months later sat in the living room. They were clasp- ed in 'each other’s arms. Olga said they wrsuld be married in another six months. Yes she loved Jan. But it would not be decent to marry a D Maclean's (24 issues) 1 yr.
