The one choobing skin disease: said that he was doing 50 for three reasons: the patient never died: he never got the doctor up at night and he never got better.

what is more. a famous specialist once told a. class of medical students that if they called all skin diseases eczema. they would be right half the time at least, as the majority of skin diseases were eczema or closely re- late'd to eczema.

This not taking skin diseases seriously is unfair to patients. not only because of the pain they suf- fer. but because skin diseases may have such a serious effect upon

Not Lost

Pat had got a job as steward on board a liner, and on his first trip he was anxious to have everything as nice as possible so as to please the captain. Accordingly, the first thing lie did was to have a good clean-out of the captain's quarters. and among other things he polish- ed up the tea service. of which the captain was very proud.

Unfortunately, he left the teapot slip overboard. and it sunk like a stone to the bottom of the sea.

He did not know what to do but at last an idea struck him. and approaching the captain, he said:

"Captain. can anything be lost if you know where if is?"

"No certainly not." captain rather sharply.

"Well. sir." retorted the Irish- man. "your silver teapot is at the bottom of the Atlantic."

Pair Whose Quarrels Drive Children Away From' Home Should Separate

DEAR. MISS DIX: Can you suggest some way whereby I can in- duce my mother to leave my father and start her life anew? She is miserably unhappy. So is he. And so are we all. My father is a fine man. but he doesn't love my mother and never has. yet because of some queer sense of chivalry he has continued to . live on with her. She won't let him go because the words "divorce" and "separation" mean something common to her and that-would hurt. her prlde.. So the two live in the same house and eat at the same table, hating each other and never speaking. My brother and I never go home because we Just can't bear it. My father has offered to support my mother as he has always done. but she won't listen to it. Don't you think that we children are . - at least entitled to ask our parents to provide us .- -. ,, with a home-two homes if necessary-where we could visit each and be happy and love them both and not have some- thing heavy in our hearts all the time? E

g,.

ANSWl:)R: I certainly do. and inasmuch as your mother refuses to do anything about ending an intolerable situation on account of her silly false pride, it is up to your father to take the initiative in break- ing up the purgatory in which you all live. and leave a house that has long since ceased to be a home.

NO GOOD IN 11'

No good and moral purpose can be served by a husband and wife dwcllint: under the same roof when they have come to hate each other. when cnch brings out all that is worst in the oiher's nature. Because children so need both a father and mother, and so need a home to grow up in. many husbands and wives who have come to dislike each other feel it a duty to go on living together for the sake of their children. had the strength of character to bury their differences and make a home that was full of peace and harmony.

But very few men and women have enough self-control to do this. Fhc disgruntled husband and wife make the home a place of perpetual strife. They quart-cl incessantly before the children. They appeal to the children for sympathy and to take sides in their feud. They pull the poor little creatures apart in their loyalties and make them utterly miserable.

So, uhen people talk about keeping their homes together for their children's sake, they do it to no avail unless they make them a happy home. Better no home at all, or the two homes for which my cor- rcspondcnt longs. then one in which the father and mother squabble.

DEAR MISS DIX: We are an able-bodied couple. My husband is

ANSWER: The few dollars you would save by going to live with your son and his wife would not compensate you for the family row you would precipitate by doing so. You are on amiable terms with your daughter-in-law now. Stay that way by not going to live with her it is easy to love people whom we only see occasionally. but it is hard not to get disillusioned with those with whose every fault and foible we are brought into daily and hourly contact.

Of course your daughter-in-law does not wish you to come to live wilh her and of course she wants to be alone in her own house with her own husband and children and no outsider. Every woman in the world desires that. She regards her in-laws. and even her own mother, as an infliction. That is just nature and no reflection on either lady.
