"The other day he was sending a suit to the cleaners when he felt in the pocket of the scat and discovered 8100 in bills." "Gosh"! rejoined an excited lis- pener. "That was quite an experi- bnce!"

Window Cleaning Without Water

Cloths for cleaning windows without water can be made with a semi-liquid paste of benzine and calcined magnesia.

LOSS OF APPETITI IN THE .ELDERLY,- SENILI ANOIQEXIA

Because there are more old peo- ple. 60 or over. than young people. I write frequently about the treat- ment of the elderly and the new medical specialty-geriatrics.

Now we must remember that el- dely men and women may have many of the same illnesses or dis- eases as the young and middle- aged. but some diseases are pec- uliar to, or found only in. the elderly. Thus senile pruritis (itch- ing) is a. common complaint and also skin rashes and irritations.

While most elderly men and women do not eat as much food as the young and middle-aged, never- theless they must eat a certain amount of food to live or even ex- ist; thus whenthey lose their ap- petite and fail to- eat sufficient food to maintain their bodies. it is a serious matter.

In The Copenhagen Medical Journal. Drs. E. Korbe and N. Vin- ther-Paulsen state that, when these elderly folk are not eating suffic- ient: food, the symptoms of lack of nourishment are seen in inflam- mation of lips and tongue (cheni- tis and glossitis). This condition is found most often in old persons who live alone. "Analysis of the food deticiency as compared with the food intake of active nonnal old persons."

Clinical and laboratory examin- ations show that the reduction of food intake does not depend on cancer. chronic infections or in- toxications, in me young particu- larly. infections are a factor in loss of appetite and loss of weight. In the middle-aged (40 to 60) cancer is a frequent cause of these symptoms.

Study of case histories suggests that senile (elderly) debillty may be due to a primary disturbulicc in appetite regulation and Various which tend to reduce the quantity factors peculiar to old age. all of medical. psychic and sociological or quality of the food eaten. I have written before of a talent- ed man of 80 who by a misunder- standing with a close relative. lost his appeti e. a serious matter at his age and condition. Time and explanations fortunately restored appetite and normal health.

In the treatment of senile anor- exiu (loss of appetite) a search should be made for underlying causes -- physical. mental and emo- tional disturbances -. which will require patients. skill and under- standing on the part of the phy- siclan.

Touch of spring

The pretty school teacher was trying to tell herpupils about the advent of spring.

"As I stood on the station plat- form one sunny April morning waiting for my train I felt some- thing lightly caressing my cheek. Can anyone tell me what it was?" she asked.

"The station - master's mous- tache?” suggested the smell bad

Letters To Servicemen

Teen-Agar Anxious To Send Mail Oversees

DEAR. MISS DIX: Every day you hear people remark how much

our soldiers in Korea would appreciate our writing to them.

I am 15 and would.llke to do my part, but I don't know whether

it would be proper. Do you think my parents and friends would think

it improper. or is it all right to send mail to a strange servicemen?

If it's okay, where could we get their addresses? AGATI-IA

ANSWER: The question of whether young

girls may. in propriety. send letters to unknown boys overseas is a matter of considerable dispute. Of course the final decision in a matter of this sort must be made by a girl's parents. The next point to consider is the girls attitude when em- barking on such a correspondence. If you regard it as a quick road-to romance. discard it., If you sincerely feel that you can write a friendly. interest- ing letter intended to cheer a lonely soldier (or other servicemen). your idea is commendable. ' A boy away from home is n homesick boy: to our young servicemen than cheerful letters. the more newsy the better. Many boys don't have large families, or a large circle of friends and they do look to strangers to fill their need for mail. I can see nothing intrinsically wrong in a girl-even one as young as you-undertaking this pleasant task.

BE IMPERSONAL

nothing means more

In starting up n t.u..esponde...e with a lad overseas. bear in mind these particular points. Don't dwell too much on your own person- nlity. Of course the boy will want to know about you, your family, friends and school. but don't make yourself the main topic of the let- ter. Enliven it with humorous bits from the paper. jokes from your school magazine, enclose a clever cartoon, or a review of the movie you saw last night, with your own comments.

The question of how to obtain the names of boys seeking corre- spondents is a more difficult problem. Servicemen's clubs in your city would undoubtedly know of a lonesome guy looking for mail. If mom approves of your going ahead with the project, she can prob- ably locate some addresses for you.

While on the subject of aiding our fighting men. why not remind the elders in your family. that a pint. of blood (easily and painlessly donated) is the best contribution they can make to the welfare'of our boys overseas? .

DEAR MISS DIX: I am planning on being married very soo to a man in service. He is 21, I am 20 and we have been going at ody for six months. I love children dearly and have always planned on a houseful. This boy is also fond of them. but due to illness in his childhood. we know that our marriage will be childless. ' Do you think lthis would make a difference in our marriage, and later destroy our ove for each other? - C. I. '1'.

ANSWER: The absurdity of your idea that love cannot survive childlessness is proven by the many couples who live happy. useful lives. even though they have been Aenied the blessing of children. Furthermore. the fact that you cannot have youngsters of your own
