EAR MISS DIX: Just how much does a father owe to his motherless children? For four years I have been eng~ged to a young man whose two daughters are in their first and seccnd year of high school. He does not want to marry until both girls completed their education and are both married. I have tried to be sensible and unselfish and have kept the thought in mind of how I should want my child treated by another woman if they were motherless, but do you think their father should stay single because they are not | willing for him to marry again? Have I no right whatever to be considered in | | his life and should I be sacrificed to them? What do_you think of the | | situation? DISCOURAC ED. Answer: I think that the man is making a very silly and futile sacrifice of | both you and himself in yield:ng to the girls’ selfish demand that he should not | is ridiculous to let two schoolgirls be the arbiters of the fate of | two people e older and wiser, and much better able to judge of what is | | best to be done under the circumstances. | To begin , the girls are making a great mistake in preventing their | father from marrying, even from their own standpoint. Having no mother, they | must either live with some female relative, or have some hired housckeeper to | look after them, and they would certainly be far better off if they were in their | own_home with a snappy up-to-date young stepmother at the head of it. She would know how to help them select ‘their clothes, how to bring the right sort of people about them, how to help them make the most of themselves. and she would give them the home background that is such a help to girls socially. I have known numbers of young girls whose lives were absolutely trans- | | formed by their father's marrying and giving them a stepmother, who not only | took their mother's place, but did far more for them than their own mother | | could possibly have done, because she was a more modern and intelligent woman. I think now of two mpy, shy girls whom nobody ever noticed, and who went | | nowhere because they lived with an old grandmother who dressed them as girls | were dressed in hcr time d who could give them no social position because she never went anywhere except to church. Well, these girls’ father married in spite of thew wailing and weeping over | his doing so, and the first thing the stepmother did was to dress them up and turn them into reguiar beautics, and then to make her house so gay and attrac- | tive that the girls were soon in the midst of everything and having a perfectly | | wonderful time, and eventually they made marriages that they never could have made except for their stepmoth | | Young girls are too ignorant of the world to know the advantages and help | | that an older woman who has their interest at heart can give them, but their | father certainly should have sense enough to perceive this and brush aside as | immaterial their baseless prejudice against having a stepmother. Of course, the | girls have their heads all filled with the bugaboo stories of cruel stepmothers that | | they have heard, but these will vanish with actual contact with a kindly, | affectionate woman like yourself. | | T am a great believer in men and women marrying the second time, not only | for their own sakes, but because in the end it is best for the children, for it kee | the young people from having to stay single to bear father or mother company. “ because father or mother gave up marrying for them when he or she was young; | or else, if they do marry, from having to have lonely father and mother come | and live with them, which imperils their own marriages, for few in-laws desire | to be burdened with their husbands’ or wives’ parents. | s for your fiance’s demanding that you wait until his daughters are | hat is a preposterous n-oposition.

But she is getting worse and she has been ailing for a year: her joints are badly swollen; she has lost much flesh. They are now trying electric heat treatments —electric blankets, shoes and pads. Can you give me any advice?—Mrs. S.” Arthritis deformans is a most baf- fling disease, Mrs. 5. All the sources of possible infection have to be re- moved; then electric heat (diathermy), special exercises, ultra-violet rays and® other measures are used, and as the infection may come from the intestinal tract, sometimes colonic irrigations. There is a possibility that the patient may have been on a diet deficient in vitamins or unbalanced in other ways, so the diet must be high in fruits and vegetables and milk, which gives the vitamins. Cod liver oll may be given for its potency in vitamins A and D. In some forms of arthritis, it has been found that the sugar content of the blood is higher than normal. This is, perhaps, the reason overweighter: are troubled with stiff joints, for this excess sugar in the blood lowers the resistance of infections.

WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON. ‘Why We Sigh. A sigh indicates some emotional dis- turbance. There is the sigh of regret, the sigh of pleasure, the sigh of relief, and the sigh for some unfulfilled wish or longing. The sigh is usually unconscious, auto- matic. It is caused by an irregularity in the respiratory mechanism. We in- hale suddenly, or exhale suddenly, or do_both. The peculiar breathing in a sigh shows that the automatic system which controls breathing is not func- tioning properly. There is some inter- ference. Any deep longing, an unful- lled wish, a deep sorrow or a sud- den release of pressure, such as une: pected good news when you were 1ol igg for bad news results in the heav- ing of a deep sigh or a series of them. We sigh because there is nothing else we can do. If we could do something we would act. Action is a great safety valve. It releases emotional energy that | would otherwise well up and suffocate | us. When we sigh we are caught in a situation that leaves us no outlet. We | try to think our way out and fail. Im- mediately the sigh occurs to release the tension. It would be interesting to catch a real sigh and examine its chemical contents to see if it is different from ordinary breath. On general principles one would expect to find more waste substances, such as carbon dioxid and possibly ofher elements of waste and | Tatigue. An unfulfilled wish sets up a strong state of uneasiness that shows a lack of endocrine balance. The result is a sigh. The same is true in sorrow and grief. We wish for the lost ones or the thing lost. Since it is an impossible wish it is an unfulfilled wish and hence the sigh, which is a mark of | ‘helplessness. | We sigh when we are at our wits' end and don't know what else to do. The | sigh comes quite automatically as a | release of pressure and of nervous ten- sion _and emotional disturbance.

If you had everything you wanted you would never have occasion to heave a sigh. We sigh only when we are emotion- ally trapped. (Copyright, 1929.) Deviled Clams.

Undoubtedly the reason there are so many dis- obedient, self-willed youngsters who defy their parents and go hurtling on their way to destruction is that tho fathers and mothers are too weak-kneed and cowardly to enforce any discipline on their children. Children are like growr. people.

You can teach them to obey you. You can make them show you respect, and you can hold up to them ideals from which you will suffer no departure, and if you do this you needn’t be afraid of losing their affection, or that they won't chum with you. As a matter of fact, children don’t want their parents to be their equals. They want to look up to them as their superiors. DOROTHY DIX.
