Those whose birfiliday it fa may ﬁnd to their satisfaction that rec- ent peculiar situations locking their plans and established procedures may quite as suddenly spring into action. with highly-accelerated speed under stimulated forces and energies - strenuous and deter- mined to vanquish all impediments and erratic attacks. In this effort, superiors or inﬂuential and far- aeeing persons may substantially contribute. advising a rmical revi- sion or reorganization of plans and objectives. sound ideas. hard work and studied analysis of conditions succeed. but map judgments or hasty decisions are fatal.

A child born on this day will have energy and initiative of a Dro- greuivs and constructive pattern. but may defeat itself by wavering or hasty judgments.

TREATMENT 0F THE DISEASE. ALCOHOLISM

One of the gratifying changes in our general view of life in these d-ays is‘ that in our outlook on al- coholism. this change is quite recent. yel buck lu the second century a Roman Jurist urged that inebrlates tal- coholics) be treated as sick or dis- ﬁsecrpersons?"

In their book. "Alcohol Explored." ilDrs. Howard W. Haggard and E. M. Jelllllek quote Dr. Thomas Trotter. a Scottish physician in 1904 defin-

ing alcoholism: “in medical lang- uage I consider drunkenness. strictly speaking, to M's disease. produced by a remote cause. and giving birth to actions and mcvc- ments in the living body that dis‘- order the functions of health."

l Where alcoholism runs or appears to run in some families-father. son grandson-it is only natural to feel that the desire or craving for alco- hol was transmitted in the egg or sperm cell. While this is not be-

‘lleved by research workers on al-

'cohollsm, they do believe that

laome "tendency" is transrmittcd which could result in alcoholism or other unseelal behavior. The fact that 60 per cent of all alcoholics studied have been found to have parents or grandparents alcoholics

’ia a proof that/heredity is s factor in causing alcoholism. Fortunately.

although the tendency may "be

handed down it may touch only one member of a large family or skip the family entirely.

What has been deﬁnitely found is that in at least 50 per cent. of al- coholics there la XIerVOiISXICSO and sfmlple oddities of behavior. 0n the other ihand. about 30 per cent of alcoholics are not nervous nor odd in any way. some of the nervous m- cdn symptoms are stubbornness in their opinions. optimism at times and pessfnnisln at other times. and avoiding responsibilities.

In regard to treatment. the suc- cess of Alcoholics Anonymous is outstanding. This slaccess springs from "that fellow feeling." a daairo to help because they realise the and. Ano“ successful treatment h putting (atropine. dlgitalla) in any alcoholic beverage used. ‘mils aeama to help about 00 per cent of cases.

The latest method treatment is a s-cnllllgram tablet of Benaedrlne after breakfast and after lunch. with a sleeping tablet at night. These drugs zmist be prescribed by a physician.

by an Island Farmer’! Will

It was really no time before Kathy O‘Malley Flannigan came back to Sergeant Mike. bearing out a theory of James‘ brought up out of his ovm philosophy when we chat of such partings: "She'll come back!" James will say, though! suspect there could be an exception to any rule. But then how could Kathy have remained too long away from Mike. flue chap that lie was and “with eyes so blue you could swim in them?" And especially since at parting héa "last picture. of him was standing alone. against the whole North- west?" After her absence of four years, Boston was a strange place to her. Presently in her own words "I knew how alien these people were to me. ho\v different the whole pattern of their thought." She found it full of noise and con- fusion and glaring lights. WHEY" folks were concerned over incon- sequential matters. In the cold Northwest where one must fight for survival against many odds one has no time for paltry stuff. - o 0

And, besides. naturally "there were no men like Mike in Boston. Tall but not. solid. Brilliant hol. not enduring." And so for he!‘ as for most women world over, there was only one Mike and one home. Hers in the vast stern North but most fascinating because it. held a1] she loved. A good story. l derided when l closed the covers. containing an (‘illlrllliflll about the Canadian Norlhlancl and with a fine thread of romance.
