PHYSICIAN MUST SIZE UP PATIENTS MENTAL sun EMOTIONAL MAKE-UP More and more we are learning that the condition or healthiof e mental and emotional health. Thul. anxiety can upset stomach and digestion, can cause sleepless- ness and general weakness. On the other hand. infected teeth, tonsils. gall bladder. large intes- tine can cause mental symptoms, sleepiness and a "don't care" at- titude toward life. It is because it is now recogniz- ed how much the mind can effect the body that we are hearing and reading a b o u t "psychosomatic" medicine today,meaning the effect of the mind and emotions upon the body. Illness of the body can be helped or harmed by the state of our emotional health. In Postgraduate Medicine, Dr. Joost A. M. Meerlo states that typical psychologic (mental and emotional) processes come into action as soon as a sick human being consults a physician. These processes are dependent on pro. arranged Expectartions on the part of both doctor and patient. scien- tific expectations, wishes of cure and unconscious cravings all com- plicate the doctor-patient relation- ship, which influences the form or method of treatment to be given." Many patients. having treated themselves without success, un- consciously expect. a "cure" when they consult the physician. The patient has a feeling of confld. ence in the doctor and feels free .to tell the whole story of his Symptoms and why he is consult- ing him. Just as 3 clergyman listens to confessions and gives spiritual help, so the physician listens to the patient and gives medical or physical advice. Among the needs of the patient is getting relief from anxiety. So often symptoms or diseases break out or are made worse by the patients continual anxiety and perhaps feeling of guilt. The struggle for life with its outside dangers and inner an- xieties provokes many somatic (body) symptoms. That is why the patient doesn't ask only for pills and injections. but wants to confess the bad way he has man- aged his life. Doctors are not competing with clergymen. The facts confessed to the doctor are different, concerned with the body. They often pave the way for real cnnf I .. to a father confessor. of a. budded plantation oi roses, in the yard...But "Light's out, Ellen", James calls. Until tomorrow --Diary -..... Good-night.

There could be petty com- plexities or anxieties and a ten- dency to make big annoyances out of small ones.

But this should be accepted with proper grace and ceremony. especially since elders. or old institutions, may not be affably inclined. Small changes may be involved; accept with good grace recognition of even small favors.

Noi His Years DEAR DOROTHY DIX: About two years ago. at the age of 35. I met a man of 52 and we became quite friendly. After a while he spoke of marriage. but talked often about a woman with whom he had lived. I felt he was attracted to me on the rebound, as this wo- man had married someone else. Later. in extend- ing an invitation to my sister, he gave her to un- derstsnd that his intentions toward me were quite serious. However. he seemed to cool in this at- tltude considerably, and a few weeks ago told me quite clearly that he had no matrimonial intentions whatsoever. ' I asked him to stop calling me as I didn't want to see him again; however. I did relent and we went on a date. He went right back to his first topic of conversation and began discussing women he had been out with since I had last seen him. I was so disgusted I definitely broke off with him. Now I have met a man who is the soul of Murl" Nuun kindness and integrity. However. I can't get over my mistrust of men caused by the other friend's treatment. If is man of 52 can be so ignorant of common decency, what will a man of 40 be like? F. S. H. ANSWER: Your man of 52 is an old roue whose only ambition is collecting women's hearts as though they were trophies. to be brag- ged about. He was probably the same at 42 and 22. Age has noth- ing to do with his character. ' NEW BEAU DIFTEILENT Your 40-year-old beau is of entirely different calibre. He acquires friends as a result of his own consideration and honesty: to him they are something to treasure. He is a sound person. 01 300?! Ch31'EiC”t?T and judgment. Don't let your fancied mistrust of men luie you n a losing a fine friend. You arent really disillusioned; your feeling is the result of creating too much drama around a situation. Here. of course. your family's altitude is assuming so strongly that you yyelre marrying the man added considerable tension to the whee n ar. Forget the past, and in the light of xi pleasant present, anticipate a happy future with a fine man. DEAR MISS DIX: Four years ago I met a boy I liked very much. but did not love. We went together as friends for a long UMP. then he said he loved me but I admitted I couldn't return ihe feeling. About a year later he announced that he was moving to a distant state. but still insisted he .loved nnd wanted to marry me. 'lhen I heard of his marriage. This marriage lasted only two months, then he came back here and said he still loved me. Now I know that I love him, and would gladly marry him. My father does!” BPPFOVG of our friendship, under the circumstances, and wants me to break off with him. What can I do? M E G ANSWER: Your emotions are extremely unstable. You decided you loved this young man simply because someone else came Into possession. He should make a strong Hfort '9 turn hi! marriage into a success, and you Sh0UICIn't try to discourage him. Let him 30 back to his wife and see if they can't make something oultlof this mess that is largely due to your own procrastinating indecson. DEAR MISS DIX: I am 16, and have been going with a boy a year older. He is a fine boy and we get along very well together. We also get along with each oiher's.famll1es. except for his younger brother, Van. Van has been telephoning me quite often asking for a date. and nothing I say seems to discourage him. How can I stop this annoyance? KATHRYN J- ANSWER: Don't try to handle this persistent younger brother by yourself. Tell his brother and let him take a hand In the solution. Or. you could ask your mother to tell the young pest. when helgags. that you aren't interested in talking to him. A word from an o s r will do wonder: with him. DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 13. very fond of a certain boy two years older. Whenever I'm with him he talks about his other girl friends, and I don't like it. I know he's trying to dmake mt: jealous, but I'm getting tired of it. How can I tell him I ont wan to see him any more without breaking his heart. ETFA R R. ANSWER: My dear child. hearts don't break at the age of 15. so you're quite safe in telling the boy that you prefer not to see him again. You have been much too serious over him, anyway. for your age. Adolescents are sometimes woefully short on conversational material and discussion of other girls may be this boy's only topic.

HowCenIIII E Waste Not, Want Not 37 Anne Ashley TV? g CANADA DEPARTMENT OF . - AGRICULTURE . How can I remove weather stains from a canvas auto top? A. Ordinary weather stains, caused by soot. rain. or dust, can perhaps be best removed by brushing with a hot soap solution and rinsing. some weather stains on canvas can be lightened by using bleaching powder, or Javelle water. Q. How can I remove a stub- born splinter from the flesh? A. Place a wide-mouthed bot- tle, nearly full of hot water, over the splinter and press tightly. The suction will draw the fresh down and the steam will remove the splinter. Q. How can I clean matting and keep it from turning yellow? A. Wipe off the matting with a cloth wrung from salt and water. and it will prevent it from turn- ing yellow. Every thrifty homomaker prac- tises the old saying "Waste Not -Want Not" for she can't afford to waste anything. Generally, when food is wasted it is not act- ually thrown away in heaps, it is dribbled away in dibs and dabs. Vegetable water goes down the sink, bread goes stale and so on. The most logical person to con- centrate on not wasting food is Mother but it should be a matter for each member of the family to think about. Everyone can do his or her part to assist. There are many distractions to keep you from paying attention to your cooking.
