..,... . For Tomorrow

A DAY of challenge and shrewd manipulation of events is likely to start off ll”.iI'l congcsictl. crystal- Jized and discoticcrlinr: situations. with doubt. indecision and per- plexity. However. there is much of the pleasant. friendly and grac- ious to revise the outlook. with practical tlil'SCilOIl in finding thet obvious and logical in shaping the way to accomplishment and ful- nllment of ultimate hopes and wishes. Reorganizing plans, on 3 basis of fundamental worth and workability. may change the course and point the way to progressive and worthwhile acliicvement. Shun the "phony." alluring and elusive.

For the Birthday

Tthose whose birthday it is may have an opportunity to demon- strate their capacity for discrim- lnntion. sound judgment and latent abilities. some stubborn or con- gealed situation. seemingly irres- iistible, immovable. may arise. In such crises look for a. friendly hand. Kindly feeling. shrewd sight or sound judgment of a friend. may show the way for proper ap- proach. with ultimate progress and accomplishment. Change may be necessary. but in new situations or lfresh slants. "look before you leap" Is sound sivice.

A child born on this day has ex- cellent abilities, mental and moral equipment. but may be tardy in making decisions. Its life may be vivid and worthy.

PSYCHOSOMATIO MEDICINE m MIND AND BODY AS ONE

The effect of disturbances of the emotion: is one cause of asthma and other allergies. These disturb- ancs have long been recognized as a cause of migraine (one-sided .heada.c.he). skin irritation: and in- fiammations, colitis (inflammation of the lower or large bowel), ang- ina pectorls (chest pain) and the various neurosis.

According to Dr. 0. R. Yost, in North Carolina Medical Journal. psychosomatic medicine, highlight- ed in the past ten years. will as- sume an increasingly important role in the physician's equipment for treatment.

"Psychosomatic iilnes accounts for the complaints of 70 per cent of patients seeking advice of gen- eral practitioners. The reluctance or hesitation of acc:pting psycho- somatic medicine no longer exists. The increasing number of patients whose symptoms are not caused by any organic disease but by emo- tional disturbances makes it nec- essnry for physicians to accept this method of investigating and treat- ing these disturbing symptoms The symptoms are real. not imag- inary. and relief must be obtain- ed."

Once the patient realizes that no organic trouble is present and that his emotions are causing the symptoms. the general physician can effect a cure. In severe cases. a psychiatrist may be called in consultation.

When a new idea is introduced into medicine. there is always one group of physicians which accepts it and another which rejects it. In between these two groups are the physicians who quietly watch the effects of the new process and after a few months accept or re- ject lt fully.

Thus it would be thought that psychosomatic medicine would be accepted by some physicians and rejected by others. yet. we rind that the medical profession as a. whole are accepting the idea of psycho- somatic medicine-the mind and emotions causing disturbances in various parts of the body. Just as the mind and body are insepar- able in the patient, so are the functions of mind and body indivi- sible when making a. diagnosis of an illness. Deviations from the normal pattern of jeeling, think- ing and acting may, in severe cases. produce disorders in the heart and blood vessels, stomach and intestine. and the entire mus-

Modern Etiquette

Q. I have talked on the tele- phone with a number of business persons who have run: off without saying "good-by." Is this consider- ed ”good form” in business?

A. Definitely not. One should never be too busy to be polite, and it certainly is not polite to hang up the telephone receiver without a courteous ;'good-by!"

Q. Is it ever proper for a man to sandwich himself between two women when walking with them on the street?

A. No. The man always takes the curb side of the pavement. whether he is walking with one woman or with several.
