Lonely Mother

Woman Must Fill Gap Leii By Marriage Of Her Only Child

DEAR. MISS DIX: Would you please try to set me straight and tell me what's wrong with me, because I really need help.

My daughter was married recently; she is an only child. She has a' wonderful Lusband. beautiful home. is happy and I'm happy for her, and that's what I always prayed for.

But now what I can't understand is why I'm so down in the dumps. I do nothing but cry and miss her so badly that it is affect- ing my health. I want her here all the time: she comes when she can but doesn't stay too long as she has her own work to do. I always have the feeling that she Just doesn't want to stay. I have a wonderful husband who loves me dearly. and for his sake I want to snap out. of this mood. Do you think I dln get over it? I

C. B.

ANSWER: I can assure you this mood will pass, but you must help yourself a little. Missing your daughter is a perfectly natural reaction. shar- ed by almost every mother with a married child. especially if the child is the only one. With the incentive of a wonderful husband to care for, you'll come out of your melancholy soon. Naturally, your home will never be the same as it was before your daughter married. That's too much to expect, and is part of life. New homes, new fam- ilies must be established, while the old homes are left a little barren.

SHE IS BUSY

Don't worry over your daughter's short visits. This phase. too. will pass. Right now she is in the midst of setting up a new home -the largest and brightest toy she has ever owned. It is only right that she should be preoccupied with it.

While you wait for the loneliness to lessen. why not devote some time to outside activities that will benefit both you and your com- munity? If you keep busy enough. you won't have time to cry. So much work is needed today in youth groups. civic betterment. Red Cross, volunteer hospital work and so many. many other movements. that you could be kept constantly busy. Don't. neglect your home or husband. but do ally yourself to some organization that needs you mucii more than you need them. .

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a young girl of 16, a sophomore in high school. I am about average in .looks and have a good personality. My problem is that every time a boy asks me for 8 date he tries to paw me. I don't know what to do. Should I quit dating boys or keep dating them and try to keep them in their place?

TOO MUCH VITAIVIIN A MAY CAUSE SERIOUS SYMPTOMS

The greatest addition to our knowledge of nutrition in recent years has been the discovery of the vitamins and their action on food and tissues. It is only natural. therefore, that many normal in- dividuals have the idea that if a certain amount of a certain vita- min helps a certain condition or ailment, twice that amount will bring results in half the time What they forget. is that the body needs or can use only a definite amount of a ccrtain vitamin and that any more than that not only does not do any good or give any benefit, but may actually do harm - One of the most frequent cases of hypervitaminosis, fas an excess of vitamins is called. is too much vitamin A. used so much in skin diseases. In The Journal of the American 'Medlcal- Association. Dr. George Bair, New York, N. Y., states, "Ob- servers have noted the following characteristics of chronic vitamin A poisoning: external thickening of the covering of the affected bones. pain and swelling over long bones, irritability and fretfulness and increased concentration of vitamin A in -the blood. The bones affected in this one case were those of the lower leg and foot. The outer parts of the bones were thickened and there was soft swelling of the flesh about these bones." That excess vitamin A was the cause of the symptoms was shown by the fact that when all vitamins were reduced to the normal dose and foods rich in vitamin A were reduced in amount, the symptoms gradually disappeared. Within three days, the first case. a 28- months-old child, was able to walk. By mistake. its grandmother had given it a daily overdose of penc- morph liver oil for a period of three months. Prolonged continu- ous use of excessive dosage of vita- min A seems to be necessary be- fore symptoms appear in child- ren. For this reason. Dr. Bair sug- gests that long periods of use of vitamin A in chronic skin ail- ments might well be dangerous. , In some cases the thickening of the bones remains long after the disuse of vitamin A and the dis- appearance of the other symptoms -irritability, fretfulness, pain and swelling. Fortunately the outlook (prog- nosis) in recognized over-dosage of vitamin A is excellent after the stoppage of excess vitamin A.
