PREVENTIVE iuzaixru TREAT- MENT roa ma anmznu "rhis is likely the beginning of the January thaw" the younger farmer offered as he brought in our daily requii-eynent of milk this morning. While our supply is ade- quate. we are nevertheless at. our season of lowest production as we await interesting arrivals in the stable. As it is, it is usual for James to come later to collect any remnant from which to mix. with the addi- tion of this or that meal and wat- er from the. stove-tank. a. palat- able and nourishing drink for the youngest call of the herd . . . There was It time in our house- keeping when we would be dis- turbed and actually distressed by such llllXlF.j.IS. Bothered too ixhcn a kettle of hot or lioiiuig water we needed was suddenly diverted to these. without so much as a by-your- j-egie or indeed a word of thanks.

Because as ue find it at Al-dcrlea. so interde- pendent are the affairs of house Now that 20 full years have been added to the life span during the past 50 years there is, as stated often before, a very large num- ber of men and women past 50 years of age. The lengthening of the life span means that these cl- derly folk need attention not only for the ailments common to the young and middle-aged, but for the ailments that come on with old age. It can thus be seen that the geriatrician must know diseases and symptoms common to all ages. one of the important factors in preserving the health and pre- venting ailments in the elderly is nutrition and food. Generally speaking. the dietary of the geriatric patient should ful- fill the following requirements: Food intake must. maintain nor- mal weight with i am. protein (meat. fish, eggs! daily for eV9r.V two pounds of weight. There should be sufficient vegetables and dairy products to yield the necessary vitamins and minerals. and then enough carbohydrates (bread. sugar, potatoes. cereals) to round out a meal. Fats should be reduced greatly in amount. mid stabic. it ii a problem to one of the he, . , V , , .pful forms of Lnrim lghfw one ends and the treatment. is gland extracts which 0! Er o”m5t , , are being used with excellent re- Tune Wu when mm” surfed suits. Just as women have change of life, so also do men. and the gland extracts case men and women from middle-age into old age without the terrible shock and other symptoms at this period of life. It is the gradual wasting away of the sex glands that cause symptoms during change of life. Preventive care. not trratment of existing diseases of symptoms. is the aim of the gel-iatrician who, in most cases. has been and is a general practitioner. As we grow older, we all appear to need reassurance about our health. The elderly patient may be given ideas on how io improve eating habits. how to get extra sleep. the need for exercise yet warning against overdoing exercise. and suggestions regarding regula- tion of bowel movements. People won't buy preventive care unless it's wrapped up in an appealing package. They want to see what these preventive measures have been and are doing for el- derly people. The age-fighting idea is contagious. People hear about it, try it, like it, tell their friends. Geriatrics is no new specialty in medicine and health but an un- tapped field of service for the general practitioner. In this age of specialists. phy- sicians who treat special ailments or diseases. there is indeed a large field for the general practitioner who not only has treated all parts of the body but has learned human nature and how it should be hand- these drinks on the hearth-rug. with the aid of a lengthy and ver- Snilllf: iron poker. once part of 1319 equipment of every stove and esteemed here because it was a relic of the past. with a left hand be mixed . . . and was chatty. or sxient in accordance with his Inoocl.

Mrs. Jarvis is play- ing for a team in the Vancouver Women's Senior B League. She first came back to basket- ball last year after a 10-year rest. it was pretty tough going. "But. I felt I was putting on too much weight," she says, "and diets always scare me. so I decided to play basketball." Sons Rickie.

Now we have a darling baby. I am con- sidered nttractive. and a good housekeeper. My husband left us five months ago - when the baby was two v-V-r-r-7 V months old. We haven't been divorced because he has neither the grounds nor the money for II di- vorce. I love my husband. but his eyes have turn- ed to another woman. who is fouriccn years his senior. He is 27. I am 19. This affair has gone on for three years. but I thought after we were mar- ried thlngs would be different. They work together, so actually he sees her more than he sees mc. When I phone him, he won't talk to me and doesn't. come near me or the baby. I know we are through. but I just can't believe. it's happening. Now there's another fellow who has known me for five years, but I was too wrappcd up in my Muriel Nissen husband to give him a chance. He is willing to pay for my divorce if I will marry him after it. He is only 21. so I won- der if he can take on the responsibilities of a. ready-made fnmlly.

BETTY. corks. guinblinghchips and nuts have gate-crashed the Jewelry ANSWER: Your life up to this point has been ll series of very scene. especially on chunky col- foolish and very tragic mistakes. Unfortunately. you don't seem to same lines. Your very well-written letter shows sound evidence of intelligence. which is not borne out by your actions. SERIOUS MISTAIKES The fact that you entered into an intimate relationship with a man. knowing him to be in love with someone else. was a circum- stance that couldn't possibly lend to anything but disaster for you. At that. youire very fortunate he married you and at least gave your baby a name. At 14 you were altogclhcr too young to bc going stczuly ---another circumstance with inevitable tragic rcsults. How you can continue to love a man who has treated you so slinhbily is more than I can see. You are now in a situation where' you know you cannot regain your husband. I won't say "regain his love," for I don't think you ever had it. No man could love a girl and treat her as he has treated you. Having been literally forced into marriage, and not too gracefully I'll wnrrnnt. your reluctant bridegroom took the first opportunity to strike off the shackles. Most unwilling husbands do! By going through a legal ceremony they sclf-rlghteously feel they have paid off all debts to child and mother. You have been very conclusively shown just what your husband thinks of you: there's nothing left but to Qcept his decision. Running after him. telephoning, etc. will nvnll nothing. Better leave him alone and figure out how you can conduct your own life, and your child's. to happiness. This you will not do by piling another mistake on top of those already made. Don't begin to plan on your ncxt l1llSh'llll'l until you have been made free of your present one. if you fecl that divorce is the only solution for you. consult the Legal Aid Society or the Family Service Association in your community for assistance. Give yourself a few years before thinking about ninrringc-, which would be adding just one more tragic mistake to a life that lins already hail too many. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband complains that I chase his friends from our house. When I married. I gave up niv business ac- quaintances. friends and most of my relatives because they disapprov- ed of my marriage. We moved to another section of town iind now I fintl my husband's friends uncongcni.-ii. They talk about my in-laws when they come here. never any anything good about anyone. and say disparaging things about my husband in n language which he doesn't understand but I do. I've tried to get him interested in church affair: rind would like to get him started in a business of our own. but he's afraid to venture into anything new. Ugl'tGEN'l'. ANSWER: You are on the right track in coming to A solution of your problems and I can only urge you to keep at it. Your huslinnd needs a new group of friends with a' better outlook on life. and he needs encouragement io get him mit of his business rut. This he will not get from his present cronies. They. being in the some sort of rut. enjoy seeing people equally unnmbltlous. You have the job of getting your husband ahead. Perhaps you could mcrid the breach with some of your former friends; their example might lift your husbandjrom his lethargy. DEAR MISS DIX: I have known Roy for the past five years. At one time we went steady. After we broke off he married, now he is getting a divorce. I have been out with him a few times lately but now when he phones he just. asks what I am doing. never 'wants to take me out. I admit I care a lot for him and am hoping he will return the feeling. . . ' ANSWElt:.Why get yourself so tangled up in what has all the ap- pearance of an absolutely futile affection?
