Sunday as a Day of Rest 
Is it true that "there is no rest for 
farm women on Sunday,” as Eliza¬ 
beth Sears declares in her article 
"Who Feeds the Nation” in Harper’s 
Monthly ? Or has Miss Sears in mind 
conditions as they existed up to the 
last two or three years ? 
It is quite certain that the men 
rest on Sunday—and eat—and the 
women who cook the big Sunday 
dinners do not get much "rest until 
they learn how to take the "short 
cuts” that save unnecessary work in 
hot kitchens. One of the most im¬ 
portant of these "short cuts” is the 
new method of dessert making. In 
place of the heavy puddings and pies 
which have always accompanied the 
big Sunday dinners, fruity 
desserts are served—desserts that 
are sparkling and beautiful and de¬ 
licious beyond comparison. 
These Jell-0 desserts which just 
fit the Sunday appetite are made by 
dissolving Jell-0 in boiling water. 
It is done in a minute, and adds a 
good many minutes to woman’s 
share of Sunday rest. 
There are six flavors of Jell-O: 
Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Or¬ 
ange, Cherry, Chocolate, 2 packages 
for 25 cents by all grocers. 
The new Jell-0 Book is the most 
beautiful ever issued and it contains 
more useful information for house¬ 
wives than any other. Send us your 
name and address and we will mail 
you one of the books, free, of course.

The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
The Troubles of a Stammerer 
I would like a little space in your col¬ 
umns to discuss a subject that has no 
direct relation to farming at all, and that 
will be of immediate interest to but com¬ 
paratively few of your readers. I refer 
to that speech defect commonly known as 
stammering. Yes. I know only too well 
that those of us who are thus afflicted are 
too often considered as jokes or objects 
of ridicule. 1 assure you. though, that 
the misery and humiliation we almost 
constantly endure, because of our inability 
to talk like other people, is anything hut 
• a joke to us. Far from it. The most 
hitter periods of our lives usually come 
to us through having to see our rightful 
places taken by others because we cannot 
fill them ourselves, or because we could 
not^ make our wants or wishes known. 
Not all parents of stammering children 
realize the fearful handicap under which 
the. child must work, especially at school. 
This is written at a school established 
in Wisconsin especially for the cure of 
stammering. The writer is a student 
there. Dozens of my classmates here 
have told of being given zero marks for 
lessons which they knew, hut could not 
recite while attending public school. Tn 
fact, several of them are planning on go¬ 
ing back to school now that they can talk 
like the other scholars. Stories of being 
"fired” from good jobs or positions be¬ 
cause of their speech defect are very com¬ 
mon among the older students here 
The effect on the health and well-being 
of persons so afflicted deserves more than 
passing notice. The physical and mental 
effort put forth by a stammerer in at¬ 
tempting to talk is many times that used 
by an ordinary person. It is an accented 
fact, admitted by nearly everyone of us 
here, that it used to tire us more to talk 
an hour than it does now.to talk all day. 
I know that’s true in my own case, mid 
J only had a mild form, except at times. 
Talking must have been positive torture 
to some of these bad cases I have seen 
new students arrive who simply could not 
make themselves understood by word of 
mouth at all. Sometimes, in fact, they 
bring along an interpreter. That is. a 
brother or some relative or friend to do 
their talking for them. How would you 
like to endure such humiliation? These 
same bad cases looked thin, haggard, al¬ 
most hopeless, and downright miserable 
when they arrived. Two or three weeks 
later, finding themselves talking nearly 
as well as anybody, the haggard, hopeless 
expression leaves their faces, and they 
also lose their si iff. high-tensioned bodily 
actions so common to bad s -t.mtnerers. 
They become normal, jolly peonle. Often 
they actually gain from 10 to 1. r > lbs. in 
weight ner month while here. Tt is not 
due in the food that they get at the school 
boarding-house table, either, for T know 
I won't! far rather put my feet under al¬ 
most any farmer’s table. 
II is like being turned ont of jail to 
them. I )>•■•-•* although I cannot speak 
from exuerience as to the jail part. T 
do know, though, that it is ;i tremendous 
relief to he able to talk freely. You 
parents of stammerers. T plead with you 
to do anything that you possibly can to 
clear up your children’s speech, even 
though it may mean a large sacrifice. T 
speak from more than 40 years of misery 
and b’lterness. so vou can see that T 
know what I am talking about. 
There are several of these schools for 
stammerers, but in some of them the 
method used is almost worse than (lie af¬ 
fliction. so choose your school with care. 
There is a natural, scientific and thor¬ 
oughly practical method of curing in ex¬ 
istence. so don’t get stung on any of these 
ti'eak methods, that charge several hun¬ 
dred dollars for alleged “guaranteed” 
cures “There ain’t no such anirnile.” as 
an old farmer is said to have remarked 
when shown a giraffe in a circus. 
Betting cured of stammering is like 
getting an education, in that your instruc¬ 
tor can tell you what (o do. but it is en¬ 
tirely up to the stammerer himself to n> 
P] v tlm method and do the work that will 
giv>' him free speech Any person over 
curb* years old. of ordinary intelligence, 
ean do the work necessary if lie will but 
apnly himself diligently and he careful 
not to fall back into his old habits for a 
few months. The new habit of talking 
should be well fixed, and that takes time 
and effort.

A Broken Bone Sets Itself 
I had my left leg fractured last Fall 
about an inch above the ankle fit was 
the small bone), had an X-ray on it. and 
after several weeks the doctor told us that 
it had set itself. I have never hoard of 
such a thing, so I want to know if a 
broken hone could set itself. r\ ar. b.

^ vs, broken bones may sot themselves 
under many circumstances. “Setting” a 
bone^is simply restoring it to its former 
position after it has been fractured and 
possibly displaced. Irritated and fright¬ 
ened muscles may draw the broken frag¬ 
ments apart immediately after the in¬ 
jury. but, after time enough has elapsed 
to permit these muscles to relax, displaced 
parts may drop back to their natural po¬ 
sitions without outside help. It would 
then be necessary only to fix them there 
by some means to permit of union under 
favorable circumstances. An X-ray ex¬ 
amination of the fracture after replace¬ 
ment is always advisable, as by it mal¬ 
positions not otherwise discoverable are 
sometimes noted. m. b. d.
