A 'l'lNlDlNOY to fly on the handle in impulsive words and emotions could cause much un- pieassntness. While the disposition is inclined to be happy and ami- able as a rule, there is a mental stimulus to be arbitrary. original and hot headed. To avoid mis- understanding: and disagreements keep in a reasonable mood. It is well to use strategy or secret inner drives or "hunches." The intuitions may be safely followed in import. ant matters.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may have an inclination toward pleas- ure and play. with a. wild idea for fun, or reckless speech and ban- ter. carried to extremes. this could cause regret and misunder- standing. Keep firm curb on tongue and temper to avert. quar- rels and disputes. Sign writings cautiously. Keep restrained, calm.

There are two types of colitis. simple, or mucous. colitis is prac- tically chronic diarrhoea. with

” a spasm which causes a partial closure or tightness of the colon, causing constipation. Simple colitis is believed caused in the majority of cases by nervousness and emotional disturbances. In some cases rough or coarse foods appear to be the cause. By avoid- ing emotional disturbances and eating mild or soft foods, most cases of mucous colitis get along 1518" "1951!"-' fairly well and it never causes

For many years the most suc- cessful treatment of ulcerative colitis was the surgical removal of a portion of the bowel. However. when the sulfa drugs came along and. a little later. penicillin, these

In The New York State Journal of Medicine, Dr. Z. T. Bercovitz re- ports his treatment of 24 patients with chronic ulcerative colitis by use of chloromyceiin. another new wonder drug. Three grams daily were observed to be the most ef- fective dosage. Thirteen patients showed pronounced improvement during the first month of observa- tion. There was a prompt and dra- matic decrease in the number of bowel movements, stools were nor- mal. no blood or mucous. no night movements, and no discomfort in abdomen. These 13 patients be- came normal as far as the colon or - bowel was concerned.

Q. How can I successfully mend a small hole or tear in the um- brella?

A. Use a small piece of court plaster and soak until it is soft. Then place under the hole and allow to dry. The result will be more satisfactory than darning.

Q. How can I avoid leaving holes in material when pulling out bast- ing threads?

A. Before pulling out the bast- ing threads, cut the thread every few inches. This will avoid leaving the holes in the material.

Q. If one is attending an in- formal dinner and notices that mother guest seems to be taking no active part in the conversation. should one snake a special effort to draw that guest into the conversa- tlon?

A. It is usually the duty of the hostess. not the guest to see that each of her guests takes part in the conversation and is being an- tertained.

Q. Wouldn't it be sufficient. when introducing a man to a woman, merely to say, ."Miss white, Mr. Black"? I

when a man is dining with a woman in a public place. isn't it permissible for him to suggest something on the menu?

DOROTHY nix"sivs- Young Mother's Complaint

Says Busy Modern Grandma Has No Time For Children

DEAR MISS DIX: I am fed up with hearing the modern mother pushed around and generally lambasted. I am a young mother with several lively children and I can testify that I. and all the young mothers 1 know, work themselves into nervous exhaustion trying to ' ' raise their children. keep beautiful. have an at- tractive home. keep up a social life of sorts, and so on. from the modern grandmother. Grandmother goes out more than anybody else; is always studying or writing a speech and doesn't want the children around. They "bother" her. Why, she won't even let the children call her Grandmother, and she would throw a fit if one of them called her , Granny. The other day my youngest asked me: ” to-. "Momma. why is it that we haven't any Grandma or Grandpa? All the other children at school have them." And I re- plied: "Why. Honey, Toto is your grandmother and Bobo is your grandfather." Well. it was news to him.

WORN-OUT YOUNG MA

ANSWER: Raising a child is like carrying an umbrella or making a fire. The onlookers always think they could do it better than the one who is doing it. But you are mistaken if you think that the young mothers of today are getting an undue amount of criticism. Most of us think they are doing a grand job: A far better one than their mothers did.

THEY'RE BETTER TAUGHT

The modern young mother tries just as hard to be a good moilier as all the generations of mqthers who have gone before her. for there have been mighty few women who haven't been willing to work and sacrifice for their children. The mother of today has this advantage: she is better taught and can give more intelligent care to the rearing of her children. ,

No children have ever had such scientific care given to their

health. nor had their psychology so studied. and if we oldsters some times think that their mothers are bringing them up a little too much by the book and not enough by the heart. why, they are erring on virtue's side. What my correspondent says about Grandmother becoming an extinct as the dado is. alas. only too true. The woman who won't let her grandchildren call her "Granny" because it dates her misses one of the sweetest relationships in life.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I have been married several years and have three fine children. The other day my wife told me about her having had love affairs with different men before we were married and the shock of finding out that she was not a good girl is driving me crazy. I can't get the thought out of my mind. What must I do? Don't tell me to forget it. for I cant.

R.P.

ANSWER: Of coilrse you can't forget it. That kind of revelation burns itself into the soul. But if you can't forget it. perhaps you can find it in your heart to forgive your wife if she has gone straight since you were married.

Many wives have a worse thing to forgive their husbands than you have to forgive your wife, for whatever wrong your wife did was committed in the put before she line you. whereas their hus- bands sins against them are in the present. lso. often a woman who has been loose in her mor-ls before marriage becomes a Puritan after marriage. She has found out that the primrose path had more thorns than roses. and that the only happiness for a woman is in being faith- ful to one man and in leading a clean and decent life.
