The tomato market has opened
for this area and first dav receipts
were fairly heavy, the writer has
been informed. Molton Bennett
told us the opening price was seven I
cents per pound, which is a most
satisfactory opening. Wm. Buch |
and Jim Bennett, living east of Cue-
ro, were among the ones ready to
sell v tontatoes on opening day. and
others axe about ready. The haul-
ing problem is quite a handicap,
and we were informed that K. E.
Grffin, east of Cuero was enable to
take a load to market because he
could net se; ire a truck to haul it.

The tomato crop for local areas
including Stratton, is considered
good in spots. Low ground where
water is inclined to stand suffered
large damage because of excessive
rain, and ic spots wind and frost
damaged the crop; but the gcod
spots will make up for the bad ones,
and the fanner who has tomatoes
ready to niarket, stands to make
some real good money this year. And
he is entitled to every Denny h»
gets, as those familiar with the risks
and hardships a tomato grower puts
up with, will readilv admit.

dread weed arthritis. Perhaps we
had better switch to the even more
modern word arthralgia, which
simply means pain in the organs
of locomotion.
Hie causes of these conditions
and the reasons for thsir occur-
rence ia the spring may be various.
What Is spring fever? Well, it’s a
combination of the accumulated
fatigue of living so much indoors
in too wintsc, and a winter diet
dominant hi foods that are low
in vitamins, and the resurge of
the endocrine* with some of them
overdoing it and some of them un-
derdoing it, thyroid insufficiency
and gonad oversofficiency, and
psychic states ef the “Oh! what’s
the use ?” order.
The same operating causes,
with the addition of postural
strain produce arthralgia. If it
gets serious enough to require
treatment not one but a combina-
tion of methods corresponding to
the multiplicity of causes should
be used. Thus we have reports of
help in arthritis from Vitamin B
concentrates, and from thyroid
exhibition. The thyroid patient
droops all over and the drooping
leads to a postural strain and the
postural strain causes arthralgia.
Middle aged women patients in the
menopause are often crippled by
joint pains which yield very well
to ovarian extract therapy. All
these are established methods of
treatment in the srthriti^clinic.
Physical Therapy
I am impressed though in the
treatment of these arthritic and
semi-arthritic patients with the
neglect of the methods of physical
therapy — water, hest and cold,
massage, electricity. Why they
are not more used by American
physicians is a mystery. There is

given in u special establishment—
a spa or resort. But most of to®
very effective ones cun be-given
in the bathroom of any American
home. I list some of the beet:
(1) Depending on heat; Hot
bath, general, two or more tones

presses and applications. The hip
batik Hot and cold showers, or
water poured from a height from
a bucket or

(2) Mechanical — Massage and
rubbing — even amateur massage
is valuable. Active and passive
exercise directed at the sore mus-
cles and joints.
(3) Counter irritant—Sunlight.
Ultra-violet lamp. Just plain elec-
tric bulk. Carbon arc lamp.
Special electrical methods—such
ms diathermy and ionization and
high frequency are available in
most North American cities, but
how seldom used.
How much better these methods
are than dosing with drugs, or the
consumption of fancy and faddy
diets.
Gold Treatment
Rheumatic exudations have been
likened to smouldering sources of
disease and heat properly us«d
often effects their absorption. The
mechanical effects of massage in
stretching tissue accomplishes the
same purpoee.
The new gold treatment of arth-
ritis is probably the most hopeful j
agent that has been introduced in i
the treatment of that trouble-
some condition. It does not work
in all cases, but it is worth a try
in properly selected ones.
In the early stages of rheuma-
toid arthritis in young people be-
fore deformities or limitation of
movement or crippling has oc-
curred is its best field. It must be
given under the care of a physi-
cian as it is given hypodermically
into the muscle or into a vein. It
often brings prompt relief from
pain and limitation of motion.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Long shadows lay across the lake
whan Colin and Selkirk stepped
from out toe spruce that lined toe
ahsca. Thehr eyes were fixed on
■emethiag high up in the air—four
tiny specks droning toward them
from toe south, scudding before the
wind: three fighter planes and a
large two-motor transport. One by
one they leveled off and landed; on
•h® wtege Oaths aaw toe insignia of
the SeyaJ Canadian Air Force.
Eagerly lie ran to meet the tall
army officer who descended from
the transport.
“You're Colonel Dowling.” Colin
held out his hand.
“Righto! You’re Colin Rae, of
course.” His eyes passed to Selkirk,
and he smiled. “We met teat sum-
mer.” Ai
then he
“Ready to guide os to that air
base?”
“We can leave now.”
“How many men did
there?”
“At least thirty. Maybe more.”
Dowling looked back at the trans-
port plane. “I brought a few ma-
chine gunners who’ll be very glad
to entertain them. You said you
had a sketch map of the shoreline—
where is it?”
“Iir my cabin.”
Together the three men hurried
up the path, but just outside the
cabin Colin paused. Curled in a
patch of sunlight, Irin£r pup lay
faintly whining, and with a vague
sense of disquiet Colin threw open
the door. But now he smiled in re-
lief—-head on the table, cheek jjU-
But Selkirk cut him off. “If Nad

States what answer will yea malm

The stricken voice ceased. Once
more Selkirk was kneeling beside
Irina’s silent form, while acr
room Dowling waited. i.
A tremor passed thrqpgh Colin’s
body, then very slowly he straight-
ened. “I’ll go,” he murmured.
Dowling hurried out to the planes.
But within the cahin Colin

Still smiling, Rae glanced back

clutched out at him. Again he en-
visioned Van Downe slumped for-
ward at his desk. Hie took one shud-
dering step forward and raised the
girl’s shoulders. The head fell limp-
ly back. In that second the world
ttfrned red.
Colin aaw Selkirk kneel, and
heard Dowling gasp, “Her neck!
It’s—”
Without speaking, Colin walked
across ths room and took an auto-
matic from the walL He reached
for his snowshoes.
“Where are you going?” asked
Colonel Dowling. •
“After Dove.” There wss death
in Colin's eyes.
“Are you sure Dove did this?”
“So sure, I’ll get him if it takes
a lifetime.”
Dowling seized him by the shoul-
ders. “But, man, you can’t —not
now! There’s something more im-
portant. No one else can lead us to
the air base.”
Colin’s voice sank menacingly
low. “I’m going after Dove.’
Deliberately the officer shook hhn
beck and forth “Listen to me, Rae!

“Even if Dove escapes?”
With stern, drawn faces the two
men stood at. gaze, then Colin re-
peated, “I’m going after Dove.* Out
ef my way, Colonel—” j
his somber eyes on an aging, broken
man, and the cold white face of a
girl who had kissed him once; who
had sat there smiling oft his hunk,
not so very long ago....
With strangely clumsy teger*
Colin lifted a strand of the hair that
had always reminded him of a wolf’s
pelt. “I’m going now” — his lips
were stiff—“I’m going, but I’ll be
back—for Dove.”
A moment later, with a growl of
angry motors, the warplanes took
the air.
Seated beside Colonel DowUag,
Colin felt the transport climb for
the upper sir. He looked about him:
the plane was filled with soldiers
in army overcoats, each holding-an
automatic rifle, and through ths
window he saw the ice-covered Nel-
son, its banks already in shadow
beneath the sinking sun.
The Cofopel began talking ef
Dove. “It was the picture you fond
in Vin Downe’s cabin that gave
the due. Two days ago I bad a
complete report from Intelligent*
in England. An amazing tala! As a
mild • mannered, public - spirited
citizen of Canada, Dove served Ger-
many for ohrer a quarter of a cen-
tury.
“We first got track of him when
he joined the Royal Air Ferae, in
1916, under the name of Procter. Ho
was in the same aviation class wMb
Van Downe. In spite of ids assail
size he soon became an exception^-
ly able flier. When his squadron got
to France he was made teat pilot
Again and again, according to the
records, he showed himself thor-
oughly dependable. Finally they
gave him a newly perfected '
sight to test—something the Alltei
had been working on for more than
a year. The thing waa to be leapt
absolutely secret, and that vary day
Dove flew with it over the linos and
landed at a German airdrome.
“That was the first scrap of evi-
dence the army had that this man

himself, was a German Spy. Dene’s ■

Dove was reported killecf. ' But bis
death turned out to be a little pro-
mature. Recently, the British
agents learned that Dove waa not
dead. His plane had crashed, and
his face was so badly battered that
he was unrecognizable. It was built
up again by plastic surgery, com-
pletely changed, so that only too
eyes remained the same.
We lost sight of him until in]
the Hitler regime he came bade to
Canada with a different face and
name, to join the fifth column work-
ing here and in the U.S.A.”
Col. Dowling stroked his chin.
“You can’t help admiring the
thoroughness of those Teuton ter-
mites. For the last fow yean it’s
been Dove’s job to learn more about
