March is here . . . bringing promises of another lovely spring. But weather is still fickle! So when you're frmh-airing baby, take an extra sweater or blanket in case the temperature top- ples. A siuable square of sheet plastic, tucked in carriage or stroller makes an excellent "protector" if sudden showers surprise you. 0

Weather change catch you short of drying space? Just turn baby's play pen on its side for extra rack room.

ed up mental disturbances in many These methods are insulin, metrazol and electric shock. That the drug, metrazol, is helpful in other physical disturbances in the elderly is stated by Dr. Joseph 0. Smigel. Lawrence A. Serhus, and Samuel Barmak in the Journal of the Medical Society of New Jersey.

"The problem of loss of appetite in the aged becomes a serious one. especially in large institutions where menus cannot be individualized. The care of older people is further complicated by states of apathy. apprehension. disorientation, and fatigue so often found in such a group."

Metrazol proved beneflcal in improving the appetite. blood pic- ture. and general condition in a group of 20 patients in a chronic disease sanatorium. This drug stimulates breathing and circula- tion of the blood and thus reduces the "gone" feeling due to lack of ozygen in the blood and increases the general well-being of the pat- ient. Metraml is stable, non-toxic (not poisonous) and does not ac- cumulate in the system even when given for a considerable length of time. The absorption of metrazol,

. whether given by mouth or injec-

tion. is good.

"Metrazol is administered in a dose of 0.2 gms. four times a day. Under such management almost all patients showed improved appetite. Hemoglobin (iron), red. and also white cell count rose. The dis- orientation (loss of knowledge of his whereabouts) disnppeares. Pati- ents who had lost control of their bowel and bladder frequently re- gained this control by use of metrszol. Another favorable re- sponse to its use it that the blood pressure falls significantly, especial- ly in those who have high blood pressure."

"Many patients previously bed- ridden become able to walk about and are able to care for their own needs." This being able to walk about and look after their own needs means much to physic- alns, nurses and attendants in an institution where the patients are all "chronlcs," many of them bed- ridden.

A few years ago it was found that lnsulln,, used to give shock treatment to mental patients, not only increased the appetite of mental patients but slso increased the appetite in children and adults who were not mental patients.

It may be that electric treatment may also help these mental patt- cnts by increasing appetite. in- dreaalng circulation and lowering the blood pressure as it may the general well-being of non-mental patients.

For Tomorrow

HOME and family matters should prosper now, so, in this connection. make plans for the immediate fut- ure and be prepared to take advan- tage of unusual opportunities which will be offered soon. It is also a fine period for replacing worn-out ap- pliances. puttlng household affairs in order and disposing of accumu- lated trivia.

During the afternoon and eve- ning hours, take time out to work at a hobby or any other recreational activity that will keep both mind and hands active. Emotional stress should be avoided at. all costs. Plans for travel are favored now and per- sonal relatlonahlps should prove stimulating.

For the Birthday

If bomorrow is your birthday. your prospects for the year ahead are excellent. Your ideas and plans for the future should meet with unusual success. but it would be well to clear up present duties be- fore embarklng on new projects which may require more time, and energy than you anticipate. During July you may be tempted to indulge in some extravagant whim, but the use of will power will save you many a headache later. Consider your budget and be practical,

Travel is favored during the early fall, and domestic and roman- tic matters are under extremely beneflcent. aspect. During Novem- ber, be alert to new opportunities since year's end does not mean the end of this prosperous cycle in your life. Keep looking ahead and plan for still greater expansion in 1955.

The first infant arrived amid rejoicing. but was adopted a month later by a couple who had priority on the list. To lighten the gloom, they took another baby. and they've been taking them ever since.

Mrs. Mitchell has looked after children of all races. sometimes as many as six at once with a convalescing mother besides. They

from their fascinating courses this host of the heavens guards now the quiet of the farmlands. Dim are the fields. and dark the wood- lands thatrlla on'the slopes of our valley. Reeling there, not yet ready. despite the continued mild- ness of the weather to allow that winter is over And over all is a deep but not uhbroken ellenoe.

We know. because not long ago when the dark had gathered in from their several interest; the members of this household-Gage to go weary to his bed and Jamie to finish ends of his homework of school-we walked through the exquisite night-shadows to pick up the mail from the box at lanes end.

I-low black at first was the night into which we stepped from the light! But soon only pleasantly dim. And now still! Nothing mov- ed. No creature was abroad at the moment, nothing in all the neigh- borhood but this farmwlfe who kept to the short-cut of winter mad in the front meadow. Yet how serenely beautiful the night was, a fitting close to a day of weather which had been, sttagreed, perfect.

And yet in all the solitude were we alone? Not. altogether. The call of an owl. a hollow. mysterious sound lingered in the silence. We smiled as we listened with bated breath so we might not miss one note of it, recalling the query which had been put to us today.

"Can you tell me which of all the birds on this laland-or I guess in all the world. is the wisest?" a little led had questioned. Well, there in the shadowed reaches of the night was the wanted reply though to our mind each feathered creature that files, that fashions an lnlmltabl nest, feeds faithfully its young and attends to the round of its living-and migrations is exceedingly wise. We wished the lad had been with us to hear the hunting call of that prowler of the night.

And suddenly in a strange for- lorn bark from the direction of "the other farm” came the high eerie yelp of a fox. For the sake of the peace of mind of the farm- folk about we hoped there would be no response. But there it. 'was a second voice reaching out over the fields.
