HAVE CONFIDENCE

Children have a great capacity to adjust to .new surroundings. to endure discomfort and forget about pain provided their basic secu- rity has been wcli-established.

You can't expect to r e m a k e your child's attitude towards pain and sickness in the last week be- fore going to hospital..Calmness in treating cuts and accidents around the house, in visits to the dentist. inoculations and vaccination, builds up an attitude in children that pays off when the hospital visit comes. The child who has learned to trust the doctor and appreciate that he's, trying to help him, is over the first hurdle.

When the time comes for him in go to the hospital you can be sure he has resources of courage. at his own level. to draw on. Explana- tions. honestly and emotional security - these give him all the support he needs.

"I'd like to buy . . . Let me see now. what. wouldlllke?" he consid- ered aloud as the little truck made its way up along the farms of this road set so richly now with the colors of the harvest.

"It doesn't make any diltferance what you'd like," James commented with s. half-smile. "I'm afraid we sha'n't have time to stop at any store this afternoon. We want Jamie to drive the tractor in that field by tht! barn and I have to hustle back to the stocking."

It turned out to be an enjoyable minute, one which re-lit the sunny gleam in Mack's eyes and kindled matching lights in those of the other two lads. And in no thine. James was back to his stocking which continued with only brief time out for supper, as did the reaping. steadily until the long fingers of dusk reached out to touch gently the crowns of old hills. The night too is fitfully shadowed by cloud. "Not. far now from rain." James said at twilight stopping in the yard with the arrnful of corn he was carrying toward a piggery.

FRESH VEGETABLES AND LOW-COST BEEF ABUNDANT

Tl-IE Chef set two big shoppinz bags on the kitchen table.

"It is an inspiration to go to market. The stalls are almost bursting with fresh vegetables - the succulent onions, the golden carrots. the satisfying potato, the hearty cabbage. the snap beans. The tomatoes, the broccoli -- all inside the budget.

Wide Beef selection

"And on the meat counters is every kind and cut. of beef. very good beef. high in protein at rea- sonable cost."

"And that's good news. Chef. I understand that two million head of grass-fed cattle are coming on the market. America can eat very well at reasonable cost. There's plenty of beef and vegetables to team into satisfying meals with- out depending on prime steaks and expensive chops.

Dozens of Outs

"In fact, chef. we don't need to buy many steaks. After all, there are literally dozens of other cuts of beef from which to choose. What cut did you buy today?"

"Short ribs of beef, a favorite of most men when dining out, I bought lo pounds. I shall cook it all by our new barbecue-bake method; use what is needed for dinner and seal enough in two casseroles to freeze for future use."

MARY llAWOR'.l'll'S MAIL

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Seven months ago my husband and I lost our only child. a son aged 18. in an auto accident. We are still so heartbroken that life is most unbearable. We are both slightly past 40.

We are not feeling sorry for our- selves but for the boy. as he had so much to live for; and was happy and loved life very much. The nights are so long and we get so depressed. We have thought of the easy way out; and we keep fighting it for each other's sake, but it is so difficult. to go on this

way. I

We have tried going out with friends and keeping busy: but as soon as we enter the house alone. it is always the same deep heart- ache. How does a person go on living with such misery?

I would like to divorce my hus- band. so he will be free to many a younger woman who can give him a child. He does not approve of this idea. but he is from a long- lived family and has many years ahead of him. My health isn't too good and I don't care to improve

it.

All I want is for my husband to have a child of his'own, so that he can again be hal7Py: and, for myself. I want only to join my dear mm

HEB PHILOSOPHY Is NEAR SIGIITED

DEA!-I R. Y.: Lacking seoond sight, wherewlth to read the fu- ture, how can we say that this or that person-taken early-"had so much (yet) to live for"? If your son was happy and loved life,- then his experience of living vm full and oornpleto in the years of his sojourn here. And who knows what a longer stay might have held in store?

To love being alive is the pres- ent, to revel u it were in "living- neas" so happy people do. is equivalent to loving God Himself. For God is both author and es- sence of the good life. And the good life, at the full. is experienced as love-i.e., grateful love of one's own being, one's Creator and one's fellowmen (especially those near and dear). In this respect; ap- parently your son was already an inhabitant of "heaven on earth." Your deathly reaction to. your son's demise signifies that you had long ago (before his depar- turc) forfeited personal participa- tion in actual livingness. You had been living vicariously through his existence, his activities and reactions thereto. rather than hav- ing a stake in life, an exchange wth life. in your own right. in re the game of life. you were a side- line sitter. and now that your son is no longer on the scene (no long- er visible on this plane). you want. to expire too.

Cures Impetigo

1Mpz:p1c.o, an tnfsnt-es! Ikin disease. is often so contagious that its spread closes the best of baby

The peculiar characteristic of this disease is that the infection can be spread from one part of the body to another until the entire body is covered by the sores. The disease most often affects the face. scalp, arms and legs, but it can affect the entire body. It is one of the most difficult and stubborn of diseases to clear up.

Oharncterlstle Bash

-The rash is usually described as

having little blisters filled eitlicr with blood or pus. which crust and become scaly.. A germ known as the staphylococcus is usually the cause of impetigo. Before treatment is attempted. the crust and blisters must be removed. This is usually done by thoroughly cleansing the rash and sponging the skin with soap and water. . Recently neomycln. one of the newer antibiotics, was very success- fully used for treating stubborn cases of impetigo. This drug orig- inally was used for tuberculosis. but it apparently was not found to br very effective here. It is now used locally for infections of the skin. eyes. and intestinal tract.

Successful Treatment

A group of stubborn cases of im- petigo wu recently treated with neomycin and all the cues cleared u within three weeks. Indeed. half of the cues cleared up in less than one week's time. The drug has also been effective in treating Barber's itch. s fungus infection involving the hair follicles of the face.
