PAIN A physician relates what he con- siders an inexplicable condition in an intelligent acquaintance. Noting that his friend was limping as he walked, he asked the cause of the limp. The answer greatly surprised him. "I don't know what is causing the pain in my knee and I dont want to know." The physician pointed out that if the cause of the pain were known, he would know best how to remove his pain and his limp. Besides, his very use of a painful joint might oe a mistake or might be benefic- ial, If pain was being caused by injury, rest of the joint was the treatment, with an occasional gen- tle bending and straightening of the knee joint to prevent perman- ent stiffness. if infection. not in- jury, was causing the pain, use of the joint without too much weight on it would stimulate circulation of the blood in the joint and sur- rounding tissues. The increase in the circulation of the blood in the joint would help carry away the products of infection and bring more pure blood to the joint, thus bringing about recovery in less time. An editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association states that about one-half of the patients who come to physicians for medical attention complain of pain or discomfort in one form or another. Patients may not be much interested in the physician's ex- planation of the cause of the pain, they want relief from pain or dis- comfort and want it immediately. "Fortunately, physicians can re- lieve pain. Pain can be considered from several points of view. In one, there is a true or organic cause for the pain-infection, injury, pain from some distant organ: in an- other. the cause of the pain is un- detected and pain is treated as a symptom, in a third. the difficulty is caused by the emotions Patients who are in pain as a result of act- ual physical disease usually des- cribe their symptoms precisely. signs of physical disease and suf- fering are commonly evident, there is a lessening of movement con- sistent with the presence of the pain. and analgesics (pain-klllinz drugs) provideaa full or partial re- lief of the pain." The above editorial advises find- ing out the cause of the pain and stresses the wisdom of obtaining relief therefrom. but there is one point I often emphasize and that is that when pain occurs and the physician is called in, no paln-klll- ing drug should be used nor even the soothing effects of hot applic- ations obtained, until the physician has had a. chance to try to locate the cause. He can then treat the pain intelligently. Q Q C C C . rr Y3, N o i ll' 3 Kc F1 k -9.- l'i'o make ' diapers stein-free snow-white.

James nodded to- wards a near piece this morning: "Do you see that. Ellen?" he queried. "Ready for the binderl Seems as though," he continued, "it was only the other day we stood here a. moment watching as he sowed it-the first sowing of the season about here. Just the other day," he sighed. But August flowers in flame and yellows had replaced the more modest colors of spring; seasonal browns spread now where then was the succulent green of new pasture; on the trees, mature leaves replaced the delicate cup- ped squirrels' ears of then . . and the sun filtered by their screen was mellow now and complacent -rather like a grandmother serene and respectful in her knowledge of life - the fresh brilliance it had owned then lost somewhere in the interval between. The red of cultivated fields - where was it now?

Butdear me, the work we've man- aged to get done since. All the seeding and the weeding . . . that was no small task this year. Two weeks - quite a steady diet of it." "You won't grow so many roofs next year," we suggested. "Oh I don't know, Ellen . . . it's not what you'd call hard work, only tedious. And besides there's noth- ing cattle like better than turnips in spring . . . And the mangels, Ellen . . great feed for the sows!

"That went out with hoops" we commented. But James never heard. He has a happy faculty, so the family de- clare. of hearing only what he wishes. And levity is out of place when a farmer is looking into his fields of next year. . "And the haying, Ellen - we did very well at that too. Got a nice bit of stuff put away. I think there'll be some to come and go on this year. We might have mowed and saved a field or two of pasture up at the other farm-it was, well. fair-good hay . . . but what did the boys do when - being sowed. But." WARD OFF: ' THROAT.

However clucking bid- dies still are needed when there is a. surplus of duck or goose eggs to be hatched. one woman. (whose hens seemed to have a mania for pushing the straw out of the nests at hatching time) solved the hen housing problem this way. She set old car tires or truck tires on the floor of an outbuilding, stuffed the centres with straw, cramming it well down so that some of the straw gets into the tires themselves. The hens tried their darndest, she said, "to kick the straw out and when they found they couldn't, they Just sat there with 9. haughty expression on their facesl 3. Wednesday: I-lere is a quick tea dish. Fill greased pyrex cups - small size -- about three quarters full of grated cheese; then break an egg on top. Cover securely (grcaseproof paper will'do for 9. covering). Place the cups in a pan of boiling water and keep the water boiling around them for ten min- utes. Berve your "cheese-eggs" on toast - you could substitute a lay- er of well seasoned cooked spaghetzi under the cheese. 4. Thursday: .

Less than ten minutes later she returned with her three-and-one-half year old friend, Barry.

Also, we do appreciate phone calls. I don't want to come , right out and tell the boys they are spending 10,, much money on one date. They feel they mun save their allowances for a month before they an take me any place. Because of this, the boys avoid me until they have some money. so I just sit home nights. What can you suggest? PAT ANSWER: Your sense and consideration wauljzzi do credit to a much older girl. Pat. You should realize that the boys are paying you a big com. pliment when they feel that nothing but the he" is good enough for you. Being teen-agers them.

Girls acquire the know-how of social development at I much earlier age than boys do; in fact, girls aifnost always have it to a greater extent than boys. Since it is not diplomatic to allow the dominant male to realize his deficiency in this respect. we womenfolk mug: gently take the reins of social progress into our own hands and lead the men around. The boys you know will actually appreciate your efforts, as long as they aren't driven with a heavy hand. Obviously you have tact, and should be accomplish this delicate task without much trouble. Good luck to you! - groups, whichever way nlng of homey entertain. DEAR MISS DIX: The man I plan to marry is known for hjx kindness and generosity, but he is completely devoted to his widowed mother. I can't stand her: she is loud, vulgar and a very demanding person. Do you think I could turn him against his mother when we marry? In a way, I'm glad he has been good to her, because i know that a man who is good to his mother will be good to his wife. - A BRIDE-T0-BE ANSWER: A bride-never-to-be. I hope; at 'least, to this mm. b You are a very selfish, despicable. self-centered person, and until you change your own disposition, any man better stay clear of you. You lnccuse your fiance's mother of being A hypocrite; actually you are ' the decelver. Is it fair to accept the attentions of a man. pretending to like his mother, while all the time you feel for her the sentiments so cr.-issly expressed in your letter? Perhaps she may lack a cultured appearance, but she has honestly raised an honest son-and I doubt if you could raise one honest emotion. If you have any decency at all, break the engagement. DEAR MISS DIX: Are my parents right in keeping me away from my 19-year-old boy friend. I am 15. They won't let me see him at all. HELEN ANSWER: At your tender age, four years is quite A difference.
