CHANGED ATTITUDE MAX

The only "reducing" diet is the one you stay with . . . and that depends largely on your attitude. if you feel sorry for yourself. diet- ing is next to impossible. for long anyway. The secret of sustained enthusiasm is to keep in mind what you want. for that psychology bsnishes resistance to dieting. To- day's letter tells the story . . .

"Tell your overweighte that it's the way one feels about dieting that counts. I know. Changing my attitude has changed me from a nervous. compulsive ester into a discriminating dieter. Formerly any petty frustration. worry or irksome situation would drive me to a con- soling and fattening snack. I ate with a feeling of defiance. Boredom and habit dictated to my palate . . . except for occasional andl Biliort-lived periods of martyred diet-

Reviews Story And

Asks For Guidance

DEAR. MARY EAW&'I'S: an we married 15 years ago, .13 my wife deeply. In fact I adored liar. and she loved me until she " ill. We had one child- a daughter now I8-and were very happy together the first'aik years. Then gradually over the next Olliht year! my wife showed pro- gressive signs of mental illne-. I had bought her a house and a car and had sent her to two art schools to make her more happy and content. Her parents were sympathetic to my efforts at first: but when I suggested state hos- pital caro for Jane, they grew hostile and said I hadn't done done enough for her. that I should have given her the house. etc. sooner. I couldn't afford it before. . .

To please the parents. I borrowed money to pay for expensive spec- ialist care. She was diagnosed a mild paranoid schizophrenic and given insulin shock treatments She became more sociable, bu also more deceitful and foolish, with a strange laugh. Her parents heard from the doctor that she was mentally ill and that I was a good provider and loving hus- band, but she didn't want me sexually. '

His In-lsws Distrust Him Later she entered into a flirta-

tion with the doctor (he was 64. and she 31 at the time); and I bore this patiently for a while,

but finally set. the doctor straight . . . in a few months she was des- pondcnt and difficult again, and another psychiatrist found her seriously ill, mentally. But she re- fused treatment, saying we hated him, and that he and I both were crazy. Our daughter confided to me that her mother kicked her in fits of rage, and the child wanted to leave the unhappy home and the mother who didn't love er.

My in-laws refused to believe these things and began to talk of divorce. saying I wasn't "the man for Jane", and that her condl. tion was a nervous breakdown caused by ptreonaiity clashes with me. It seemed to me best to and the marriage. so I filed suit for divorce. and Jane responded with I trumped-up counter claim. As she finally agreed to a reasonable settlement giving me custody of the child. I let her get the divorce on her crtm-suit.

Did I handle the problem right. ly? will Jenny get along all right without a mother? Now Jane wants an apartment in the city. Where. as she says, she can Just lie down and cry and not be bothered by anyonef She doesn't visit, our daughter, who voices no interest in her. Should I take Jenny to see her occasionally? I Am I sadly pelinlexed man. a. Y.

Wife's Illnen Ilsa A History

DEAR S. Y.: Your lengthy re- cital. here out to a fragment. G095!” "Y to link Jane's illness to her parents' self-serving bias. But undoubtedly there is a con. nectlon between her disorganized personality and their childish dis- eemblinz and characteristic sen- timental humbug (which covers a hostile defensivenem towards "om- elders").

Jane is a victim of unhealthy family influencing from away back, it seems. And yet, at best, in the most favorable conditions of up. bringing. she might always have been a sensitive plant. perhaps better suited to the simplicitlea of a spinster routine than to the obligation implicit in wifehood, motherhood and con. Jugal love.

Inasmuch as Jane's parents were more concerned with saving face, and in coddllng Jane at your ex- pense, than in getting down to brass tacks to cure her illness if possible, your hands were rather closely tied, in the matter of try- ing to help her. Thus. you prob- ably did as much as you could for her. in the circumstances. in stringing alone to cushion her dlstreu with specialist care, as she would permit-until her fam- ily tumed against you,

Seven Days A Week

bssaaelhaaaea

1. MONDAY: Someone once said for ALL old people is in a came for the A ad". Naturally I couldn't or w 't agree with that stator msnti hr some lonely persons who have no place to call their own, then an Old Home is one solution --and in the pleasant surroundings and with their own age, they will be happy and contented.

But for others, who go down the lunseiffrrall together-svell Benja- min Franklin summed it up nicely (years ago) this way: "As having their own way is one of the great- est comforts of life to old people. I think their friends should endeav- our to accommodate them in that. as well as in anything else. When they have long lived in a house, it becomes natural to them. they are almost as closely connected with it as the tortoise with his shell; they die if you tear them out at it! old folks and old trees, if you remove them. it is ten to one that you kill them.

We are growing old fast our- selves, and shall expect the same kind of induigences: if we can give them. we shall have a right to re- ceive them in our turn."

2. TUESDAY: when you need a squeeze or two of lemon juice to add zest to some dish, do this: cut

the lemon in half. Hold a piece of 6

clean cheesecloth over the out side. Now you can squeeze as hard as your like. no spare drops will fly and best of all. seeds stay where they belong. Have you ever tried serving your favorite sponge cake this way? Bake the batter in muf- fin tins. and when baked, cut off the tops of the muffins, scoop out the insides and fill them with lem- on cheese or your favorite filling. Put tops back on; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Real yummyl And do you know that the meats. or kernels if you will, of the pecan nuts can be removed easily if you do this:-soak the nuts several hours in one quart of water and one tablespoon of salt. The shells just seem to fall apart; and the meats come out all in one piece. And to finish off this hodge-podge day of ideas, here is a new idea to pep up your rice pudding. Soak a cup of seedless raisins ovemlght. Mix them with one quarter cup of brown sugar, two teaspoons vanilla and a little heavy cream. Add to your rice pudding. Cover the top of the pudding with fine brown sugar, and run under the broiler until the sugar melts. A real hot oven to pop the pudding into for a few minutes should do the trick too. Now chill and serve cold with cream, either whipped or plain.

8. WEDNESDAY: Do you know how the saying, "feather in one's cap" originated? Women have laid claim to the use of feathers only in modern times. As late as the era of the famous Black Prince, men f ed ornamental feath- ers their exclusive property. Prin- ces and nobleman went to great expense to import fine specimens which they used to adorn their hats.

Then someone hit upon the idea of using small feathers as military decorations. when a soldier show- ed unusual gallantry, he was per- mitted to wear a feather in his cap as a badge of honor. By the late sixteenth century this practice was so common that when a person won an honor of any type. he was likely to refer to it as a feather in his cap.

4. THURSDAY: A little girl was entertaining a visitor and was proudly displaying her beloved teddy bear.

"And have you a name for Ted- dy, dear?" the visitor asked.

"Yes. I call him Gladly”, answer- ed the little lady. "because his eyes look as if they were crossed."

"But why call him Gladly?" the visitor asked curiously.

And the little girl replied "Be- cause of our hymn we sing in Sunday School, "Gladly the Cross I Bear".

5. FRIDAY: Hot Crab Salad is easy to make and calls for "sec- onds" at any meal. You pick over a half pound can of crab meat re- moving any bits of bone. Add two tablespoons mayonnaise. 36 cup minced green pepper and one tsp. grated onion. Season with one- quarter tsp. salt, tsp. pepper, one tsp. prepared mustard and one tsp. Worcestershire sauce. Heap in two shallow scallop shells or in your favorite small casserole. Bake in a hot oven G60” F). If you put a. few biscuits in to bake too. it

Ourrently, more than one million persons in the United states are under medical care for diabetes. By maintaining a proper diet, using prescribed medicines. or both, the vast majority of them lead normal. useful lives. Recent statistics dis- close that about 250,000 of them are gainfully employed.-and do as good work as non-diabetics.

'1. SUNDAY: One look at the kitchen windows this morning and Mavis said as she padded out to the kitchen in her sleepers: "Mom. this Just can't. be Sunday-look at the windows!"

But we had already looked at them and wondered if all the stray red mud had taken wings and come to rest on the panes. so Sunday or not, the mud had to be rinsed away-and we wondered how long it would "stay put". The wild wind of last night is Just a murmurlng breeze now and every branch on the trees in the yard has a magic coat of silver. "Wouldn't it be nice if we could look out and see a fairy on one of those shiny branches?" says ,Mavls, and she stands and looks intently for a. long moment. But there were no "wee folk" out this day.but two saucy blue-Jays provided even bet- ter entertainment. Baby Garth watched the horses and sleigh as they drove past to church. "More horsie, mcml" I'd hear every few moments. Even pictures of horses in magazines hold his attention as nothing else will. "Milli: 136 301118 to be a real horse-lover" said a neighbor recently and we hoped so. Reminds me of the poem "Now and Everywhere". by H Mini” Kahn.

younger you are, the more likely the disease will start suddenly. In older persons, the symptoms come more gradually. '

Symptoms of diabetes often de- velop followlng a severe infection. These symptoms are common in diabetes:

Excessive thirst, excessive urina- tion. intense itching of the skin. increased hunger. loss of weight. weakness, easy tiring, changes in vision, pain in extremities, slow healing of cuts and bruises. and bolls or carbuncles.

Another Sign

In children. bed-wetting may also be a sign of diabetes.

some symptoms are so mild that. unfortunately. you will not even bother to go to your doctor with hem.

One of the most important things for a diabetic to learn is to understand just what diabetes is. and how it affects him. I'll tell you about this tomorrow.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

M. 11.: My sister, 22, eats lots and lots of candy. Is it not true that she will get diabetes if she con- tinues this habit?

-'m8Wer- Eating Iarse lmounts of candy will not cause diabetes. How- ever, it is not a good thing to do, since all the other necessary foods will not be taken if too much candy is eaten. The diet should be kept well balanced.
