When, by careful medical super- vision and nursing. a patient re- covers from a usually fatal disease it is considered almost a miracle. When a new drug or method of treatment comes along that saves not one but many patients with ithis disease. we know that phy- lsicians have finally found the specific cure for that disease.

DOROTHY DIX SAYS-

Teen-Ager's Duties

Child Of Working Mother Should Give Added Help With Housework

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX:

rVvvVv-

I have I daughter who will be 14 in August. I work nine hours a day. The only work she does is breakfast and lunch dishes which she never put: away. She thinks I ask too much of her as her chums don't do any housework. She

I takes piano lessons which require an hour of prac- tice a day, though she doesn't always do that much. She doelnlt even take care of her own personal needs. such as teeth, underwear. etc. I think she ls old enough to take care of these things, as well as keep her room tidy. Would you help me iron out this situation?

FRANCES

ANSWER: Setting down an arbitrary list of duties for a 14-year-old is not easy, but I think the minimum requirements would be to do. and put away. the break- fast and lunch dishes, keep her own room and clothing in order and have dinner started for you in the evening. These things should be done cheerfully, thoroughly and as a matter of routine; she should not have to be reminded of them every morning.

APPEAL T0 HER VANITY

As for her personal neglect. an appeal to her vanity should help correct that. I know 11 and 12-year-old girls who do beautiful jobs of hair-setting and manicuring; they know the importance of groom- ing at even that tender ago. Your daughter, too. should have this im- pressed upon her. If she won't llsten' to you in these matters, and many daughters do resist advice from their mothers, try getting a friend. relative, or even a favored teacher to talk to her. Of course. the influence of chums who have no home responsibilities is bad. and can only be counteracted with pop talks from you or by the restriction of privileges. such as dates, movies and evenings out with the girls. All children. no matter how sound the family's financial status. should have specific home duties. and the mother who fails to assign them is falling down badly on her job.

.,. DEAR MISS DIX: I am a married woman and my husband loves me xery much but I am so plnln looking till our friends talk about me. When I go out with my husband I come home and cry all night.

H Al:ISlVER: There is no need for any woman to consider herself plain . and you must have a sorry bunch of friends if they criticize yet; so. I'm afraid you have built up a complex about your looks am Just imagine your friends are rritica. You must lti-ve looked pret;.V nice to your husband or he never wlould have married you.

'our first step in improvement is to sin this frettin . That will put lines in your face, and pull down the garners of yosir mouth ill a manner that will most assuredly be unattractive. A friendly smile is the surest antidote to plain looks. Next. go to a good beauty salon. Get a new hairdo, a glamorous make-up and a bright manicure. Above all, practice perfect grooming! That is the one thing that has turn- ed many :1 Plain Jane into a glamour girl.

ANSWER: Thousands of servicemen leave their sweethearts for overseas duty and return with, if anything. added devotion. There's no reason to fret over the many things that can happen during your separation. If you truly love each other. you won't change. Of course he'll meet many girls around the world, and you'll meet many boys at home. but your love will remain with each other.
