A.l..LERGY MAY. mranrznu mi-u NORMAL uuowru - us,can.uar.N Parents and family physicians know from experience that some mllclren seem to catch everything in the way of children's diseases- hay fever, hives. stomach upsets. head colds and other ailments. Sometimes this tendency to var- ious mild or serious illnesses is present for a long time before it is recognized as allergy. (being oversensittve to various substances such as food, feathers, furs, house dust, pollen of flowers and plants.) when control of allergy is ob- tained, the patient not. only im- proves physically and mentally but often catches up to what he should be at his age despite the handicap of allergy. In The Journal of Pediatrics (children's diseases) Dr. J. B. Welsh reports his study of 34 al- lergic children, ranging in age from 16 months to INA years. for perlods of 12 to 100 months. He found that if the allergic coridttion was adequately controlled. the child would show normal growth. The increases in height were fol- lowed on Wetzel grins (system of measurements). While the allergic proceues were not controlled, 3 re- tardation or delay in growth was present. However when the allergic processes were put. under control and remained under control. the children recovered lost growth (caught, up to their normal growth) and followed their normal auxo- chroma (rats of growth) and in two cases showed increased growth of 4.4 months to put them into the next auxochrome. that is. one above normal. Specific control for each nllorgic condition was em- ployed. - As we think of these children afflicted with nllargy and see how various parts of the body are is- ritated. inflamed. with hives and other skin rashes. running of eye: and nous and irritable stomachs. we can see how the youngsters' lighting forces are battling all the time. This means that not only does the child (or adult) have to use his strength to withstand these symptoms but he may also lack nourishing food and biood-bulld- in: foods. His allergy has him half beaten from the health standpoint and naturally interferes with his rate of growth. The above information should own parents to remember that when their youngster is not now- log at the normal rate. while in- fected teeth. tonsils. or other in- fection can be a cause. tests for allergy should be made as this may be the underlying cause of retard- ation of growth.

I have a problem which may seem small to I wish you could give me some ideas on how to be a better partner to my husband. First of all. he is very well educated and I am not: he is interested in all the daily activities which do not interest me; he can sit and carry on a con- versation for hours while I can say what I have to say in five min- utel. He is very neat. I am not. He likes sports and I wouldn't give two hoots for all of them. I would like to be interested in the things he like: but for the life oi me I Just can't avoid being bored with them. When he talks about his work. my mind is miles away. He is a wonderful ” sband, thoughtful and gener- ous. He refuses me nothing I want and we get along very well, surprisingly enough. but I would like to know more about the things ha liken. v CORINNE T. ANSWER: It certainly is very surprising that you and your husband get along so well when you are completely disinterested in everything he likes. It is more sur. - prising that two people of such diverse natures should ever have married. With a husband as fine as yours. you should be willing and eager to develop an interest in his activities. You would find. I am sure. if you ever exerted yourself enough to learn more about hll pursuits, that they would prove quite fascinating to you. Many sports which new born you'might turn out most exhilarating. TRY READING If you really want to be a keener and more receptive wife, tha road is very easy. Books. magazines. newspaperdarticles are avail- able on practically every subject. With very little time and effort. you could learn enough about anything to carry on a good conver- satlon. The two points on which I think your husband is most patient are (1) your untidiness. (2) your lack of interest in his work. Point 1 is very easily overcome. All you need is the will, and. again, very little time or effort. Persistence in this fault will eventually make you a very unpleasant person to live with. Point 2 should be over- come if you are at an concerned about the family welfare. After all. your husband's work makes possible his generosity. Even if you don't care enough about him to force a little more attention when he discusses hil buainesl, selfish motives should prompt it. An ignoble purpose. it's true. but. better than none. Inferior education on the part of a wife is no barrier to a happy marriage. provided the lady is aware of the handicap and does her utmost to overcome it. Many. many women with little formal school- ing have risen in the world with their husbands and stand side by side with them in the highest levels of the business and social Wnrlrls. If you sincerely aspire to be a real heipmate. there is no obstacle in your path. In your case, Corinne, I am ah-aid you must overcome a terrific laziness of mind and body before you can cope with any other angle. While you regret your inability to share your husband's life more fully, you lack the determination to drive ahead to a set goal. You are married to a man who is too easy with you. His satisfaction might not last forever. so why not make the supreme exercise of will and begin a rigid program of self-improvement? A good marriage is worth the effort.
