The king. was unhorsed and lay on the ground, help- iess in his heavy armour. At that moment, an enemy trooper aimed a spear at the monarch, The knight saw the danger, He gave the king a tre- mendous kick from behind which rolled him clear of the spear, After the battle, the king re- warded the knight. with a sum of money and an estate in, La Vendee rent free. Once a year, the knight used to hold a feast at which he solemnly went through the motions of kicking, to show his gratitude to the royal landlord. Actually, there are still some strange rents paid, even in 1958. Down in Cornwall, for example, one old woman lives in a cottage in return for cleaning her land- lord's windows once a week. The agreement was formally drawn up by a solicitor near Falmouth, and the clauses included one whereby the windows must be cleaned after every south-east- erly gale becaues then the spray comes over the cliff. LU ® In the same county, a retired sailor occupies a one-roomed- shack in return for a very strange rent indeed. His job is to awake his landlord --_who lives across the way -- by ring- ing the front door bell at five o'clock every morning. No agreement was signed for this deal which was made at the village pub, in the presence of witnesses.

Whatever. the weather in our - particular locality -- yours and mine -- there is no reason to assume it will be the same twenty miles away. Or even less. One day Partner and I went to see Johnny, whose farm is. only ten miles from here. It might have been fifty. Far more snow and icy roads. We found Johnny very busy -- and very glad to be alive. He almost wasn't. It's the same old story. He had a registered Holstein bull. "No need to be afraid of him," John- ny used to say, "he'll never hurt anyone, He's so quiet I can clean out his stall and work around him like he was an old: cow." Then came a day when it was necessary to let the bull out into the barnyard. Suddenly, without warning, the bull turn- ed on him. It was only because Johnny was' able to get behind a huge post in the barnyard that the bull missed him on the first lunge. Fortunately an iron crowbar was within reach and Johnny used it to beat the bull "over the head, and then, some- 'how or other, he managed to get back to the safety of the cow stable. Johnny is young and strong and by good luck was able to situation." But what chance would an older, less agile man have had under similar circumstances? Farmers have been warned time and time again never to trust a bull. But in many cases the bull has been raised from a_calf and the farmer and his son, or hired help, think they know all the RONICLES INGER FARM Gwendoline P. Cloth . bration.

"most They Go For Pills in A Big 'Way ; The Japanese are a highly emotional : le, they love to take pills, and they like to imi- tate Western customs. These factors create a rich market for tranquilizers. Last week Tokyo's Welfare Ministry reported that in 1957 the Japanese went wild for "tranki" poured out yen to the tune of $3.5 million for meprobamate alone, They were buying tranki without prescrip- tion at any handy drugstore, and swallowing them : under the nerve-racking prodding of a hypertonic advertising campaign. The tranki rage struck Japan with typhoon force in the fall of 1956, when the U.S.s Lederle Labbratories; joined Takeda Pharmaceutical in a fifty-fifty deal to set up Lederle Lid. as an outlet for meprobamate (best known in the U.S. by its orig- inal brand name, Miltown). But no: patent claim had been filed, and the vacuum was quickly tilled by Japan's highly competi- 'tive drugmakers -- concentrated on a narrow street called Dosho- machi in Osaka, around a shrine" of Yakuoshin (an ancient god of drugs). By December, Dalichi Seiyaku was on the market with its own' brand of meprobamate, called Atraxin, Lederle Ltd. put out Miltown, Takeda competed with its own corporate offshoot by pushing Harmonin. Daiichi Seiyaku (meaning No. 1. drug company) ran half-page ads showing men and women with agonized faces, clutching swollen heads and moaning for Atraxin. Daiichi and competitors put -up billboards at Tokyo's busiest intersections, where stall- ed motorists and scared-running pedestrians were urged to help themselves to "cope" by taking a pill. There was even a sugges- tion (eventually dropped) that similar ads be"placed at railroad crossings, bridges and volcano craters, 'the meccas of the: sui- cide-minded. (Several attempts to commit suicide with overdoses of tranquilizers have failed.) Tranki pills have proved espe- cially popular with students cramming to pass the tough ex- "ams for government jobs. * There are already 15 brand names under which meproba- mate is being sold, with appli- cations pending for 65 more. Atraxin leads the field with 1957 sales of $1,230,000; next comes Harmonin, then Equanil; the old original Miltown is fourth, It is priced at ten tablets for 83c: home-grown Japanese brands are twelve tablets for B6c, but they are only half, as potent. Osaka manufaéturers have tried to convince consumers that "because Japanese are smaller and weigh "less than Westerners, they need only a half-size tranki." Then, working both sides of the street, they blandly urge buyers to take two tablets, three or four times a day. Some go so far as to say, "Take as many as you want, any time you have worries." - » --From Time.
