A first day of the new works- dey week is almost past, one that put farm folks again into their garments of labour and took them about the interests of the place . . . And now a wind of the north, bearing wintry-cold tidings in its breath sweeps down upon our chimney-pols from far hills and fields.

Parents know that at times their youngster may feign illness be- cause he doesn't want to go to school for some reason; at other times when really sick and receiv- in): attention from everybody, he will continue to Cdmpliilll 0! symptoms after he is completely well. It would seem that many of these children, when gmv-'n U13. continue to use real or feigned ill- ness as in ”delensc mcchzinisni" to avoid responsibility.

In New York State Medical Journal. Dr. Alfred Blazer. New York City, states that the com-

monest neurotic personality of our time uses this defense mechanism as his way of lifc.

unable to obtain security and sat- isfaction in the ordinary or usual ways, they develop methods of ob- talning them by "enjoying poor health."

In the treatment of the psycho- somatic (mind and emotions con- trolling bodyy acilonsl. Dr; Blazer states that successful treatment depends upon the relation which the psychiatrist or other physic- ian or technician permiis the mt- lent to have with him. "With the psychiatrist or other helper in treatment, the patient does not have to be a submissive worm or a destructive streamroiler. He can learn to express his resentment when necessary and later to the rest of the world."

The psychiatrist or other thera- pist tone giving treatment) must feel the patient's mood and re- spond to it in a healing way. By careful examination and ques- tioning. the patient learns to see himself as he really is-free of organic disease-and therefore in fit condition to face his responsi- biliiics in life.

”b'V7X-7s'9Y'R'r-?.'4i'm'n. For Tomonow ENIERGIIS. ambitions. initiative and courage are under splendid stimuli for progress, new enter- prises. important projects. all under exceptional creative skill. with keen urge to drive ahead under full steam. Nevertheless, such ardor, stimulus and enthu- slosm must be calmly studied. firmly controlled, held in leash. The way is best with difficulties and dangers, mainly of a sinister and subtle or hidden menace. The mentality is not keyed to shrewd insight, and intuitions may lure to peculiar dangers or queer in- volvements. Postpone action.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are urged to make calm decisions. weighing cautiously all plans, sug- gestions and propositions before entering into any agreements. sl- liances or pledges of vital conseq- uence. while the energies. creative ability and sound purpose may be keyed to vigorous performance. the way is beset with pitfalls and dangers. The judgment is faulty, ruled by emotions and feelings rather than by cold lcglc. Under- tones of deceit and misrepresenta- tion could lure into intrigues, schemes and plots. with little to gain by the seductive journey.

A child born on this day. while having sound creative urges, skills and enthusiasm, could be easily lured by false premises and seduc- tive bypaths. c

Q. How can I renew the oil in dustless cloths?

A. Apply a few drops of kero- sene or light lubricating oil on one corner. rolling the cloth, and let- ting it stand until the oil has spread evenly. Or, a little oil may be added to the rinsing water after washing the dust cloth. one tablespoon of kcroscne or one-half tablespoon of light lubricating oil to one quart of water gives good results.
