Your lndiscretions were apparently loo flu- arant. Your fiance alrea:iy knows some of the stories. suspectsthc worst. mid Will. furtherniore. always suspect the worst-as who wouldn't. Per- haps he will cancel the oncagerri-ent. If he does it's no more than you should have expected at the time you let your emotions rule your sense of decency. It's far better for you to take your chances with his love. be- iieving that you'll never behave so again, than to risk the possibility of H5 learning the full story in time-which he undoubtedly will. Many persons make mistakes; it's the fortunate ones who are for- rziven. Of course. you were very wrong in the first statement of your hitter. Anything you do, or have done. is definitely your fltincels busi- ness. If you plan .to enter marriage with the idea that some of your activities are none of your hii:l:and's businm, you certainly don't deserve to get a ivortliy man. In fa. , lots of your ideas need changing-dont put off the job. I DEAR MISS DIX: I am 38 years old. the mother of five healthy children. six months ago I lost my last baby, and nothing seems to take his place. Do you think I should adopt I little boy? We are in a posltior. to give him a good home. WORRIED MOTHER ANSWEW 111 Your prrssnt nervous state, I think it quite unlikely that an adoption agency would give you a child. Besides, it. would take some time oeforc you could get him. You know the list of people waiting youngsters for adoption is rezy long. I should think with five active Filllwiell U1 the lllmlly .i'0u'd have little time to worry about being lone- ftumtions including the building i of blood (its most. common use), the maintenance of the nervous sys- tem. for normal growth and other necessary functions. An extreme lack of this vitamin in adults re- sults in pernicious anemia and dis- turbancea of the spinal cord and bi'al.n." For years vitamin B 12 has been given by injection into the muscles as giving it by mouth allowed the digestive juices of stomach and intestine to destroy its effect. Also. in some cases, the continued use of 5 the vitamin B 12 injections oaused' pain in the muscles and discour- aged the patient. It was with real satisfaction that it was learned some moniths ago that a substance added to vita- .min B 12 prevented the digestive ljulces from interfering with the action of this important vitamin and I was pleased to acquaint my readers with this fact. Patients, naturally. would boonr.-r take any medicine by mouth than by injection into the muscles. This lng. Beat egg whites. add 2 table- spoons sugar. Beat cream then add to egg whites.
