BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. MARSHALL. Mental Sclerosis. Arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is well known to the men of | medicine, Its psychological counter- part, which is beginning to be known as mental sclerosis, is not so well known, not so easily recognized. ‘The sufferer from arteriosclerosis reaches a point some day when he dossn't readily recall recent events. ‘When this condition becomes chronic, it's called senile dementia. In mental sclerosis the patient (?) suffers from fixed ideas, compulsions and anxieties. In other words, ke finds it hard to build more glorious man- sions to his soul. He is anuoyed, not | with attempts to recall the recent past, | but with attempts to readjust his pic- | tures of his entire past. And so every memory is a possible center for con- tradiction. Every forecast of the fu- ture is in some way a revival of some past experience. It may or may not satisfy present needs. One clever psychologist suggests a cure, or rather a prevention, for mental sclerosis. Versatility of ideas is the all- important trait of mental health. Knowledge of how to meet disappoint- ments and rebuffs makes for men- tal alertness, the essence of sanity. “Crabbed age” is the certain product of spoiled youth. These who have had their way as children become stubborn as they grow older. They have boen deprived « the mental exorcise inci- dent to the necessity of trying more than one way of getting along with their fellows, The first born of every family seems to suffer most from mental sclerosis, as an adut. His ideas were allowed to harden prematurely. His hopes were fulfillad before he had a chance to prove them. NANCY PAGE After supper ma started to bite on the other end of her pencil trying to think what to write in her diary, say- ing, My goodness such an uneventful day, not a thing has happened to me werth putting down in permanent form. Ive had rather an eventful day, my- self, pop sed. This morning, for in- stants, a man named Sanders came in- to the office and payed me back 5 dol- lers that I had said goodby to 5 years | ago when I said goodby to Sanders.

We are showing the new braided silk collar_that has recently appeared on smart French imports. It is made from wide bands of silk crepe, loosely but evenly braided, with the strands looped at the ends.

Dear Miss Leeds: I am distracted be- cause my nose has taken on a rosy hue lately and I am ashamed of it. What is the cause? B.A. B. Answer.—Rosy noses are usually due to poor circulation or digestive troubles. Some skin diseases also may make the nose red. I cannot tell what is the cause in your case, but suggest that you have a physical examination by a doc- tor, in the course of which you will probably learn just what is the matter with your nose. Make sure that your diet is correct and that you exercise outdoors daily. LOIS LEEDS. Lines Under One Eye. Dear Miss Leeds: What can I do for lines under my left eye, running toward the nose? Is tissue cream good for it? % BETTY BLUEBIRDR. swer.—1If the wrinkles are just on e side of your face, it is likely that your left eye is weak and consequently you squint on that side. Have your eyes tested by an eye specialist. Put a little tissue cream on the wrinkles at bedtime, LOIS LEEDS. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Cheap Meats. 1t isn't at all necessary to spend a lot of money in order ‘to have good meat. Indeed, there are many substitutes that are as delicious as broiled steak or roast lamb. It is largely a matter of cooking and seasoning that makes these substitute or cheap-meat dishes tempt- ing. If you serve & meat substitute or a cheap meat, be sure that the vegetables served are just right. There are vege- table affinities even with meat sub- stitutes. For instance, suppose you have baked creamed macaroni and cheese for the meat substitute. Suppose with it you serve creamed caulifiower and mashed potatoes. You have a most unattrac- tive meal. But if you serve spinach and buttered beets, you have an interesting combinztion.

HEINZ OVEN-BAKED BEANS | @Kinds: With Pork and Tomato Sauce; Nancy Has a Problem With a “Fraid-Cat” Son. BY FIORENCE LA GANXE. Peter was quite disgusted with his young son. There was not a trace of fear in his own make-up, and here he had a son who cried when he was hurt and when he wasn't, cried when he was put to bed in the dark, cried when the lightning flashed. He made fun of his son, scolded him roundly, tried to shame him. But he got just nowhere at all with him. Nancy took her problem to the class in parent education. “The chances are, Mrs. Page, that your son 1s a highly nervous child. Scolding will do him no good, nor will shaming him. These methods. just make him more conscious of his fear. Why not try making the things which he fears just common; " ‘What do you mean “Well, I'd try talking about the dark as if it were a kindly thing. Something friendly which tucks up tired folks and keep them snug and safe. Don't tell him stories with weird happenings in the dark; don't carry on grown-up con- versation in front of him regarding midnight marauders. “And when it storms take him with you to the window and let him see which one of you can see the jagged streak of lightning first. Make it a game. Hide any tremors you may feel, and if you fear it yourself, for good- ness sake do not’let your fear show in your voice. Look up pictures of light- |ning. Have him see the beauty of that penetrating flame of light. “And don't discuss his bravery in front of people who will undo all your efforts by recounting all their ‘own scares. Don’t make a great ado of any show of bravery he achieves, but let him know in a matter of fact way that you appreciate it and expect it of him. And, above all, don’t nag nor think you can scold him into being a hefo.” Flavor for Meat. | Garlic vinegar makes meat rich and | tender and gives it a good flavor.
