'Dear Abby Abigail Van Bur en DEAR ABBY: I've been keeping company with this 42-year-old bachelor for about a year. During this time his mother has nagged, cried, developed "dizzy spells," heart pains and hys terics whenever he told her he was serious about me. This didn't keep him from seeing me, however. (Her only objection to me is the fact that I am a widow.) Now she has a new weapon. If he marries me, he will be cut out of her estate. I have never met this woman and am self-supporting. This man and I get on very well together. He is the only one of five children at home with his mother. I love the guy, Abby. Is there any hope for a "Mamma problem"? GETTING OLDER DEAR GETTING: It's not a "Mamma problem" it's a "Sonny problem." Any man who is old enough to tie the mar riage knot is old enough to untie the apron string. DEAR ABBY: My husband goes for weeks without sleeping with me. He takes his pillow and goes out on the porch. He has even gone out in the car. He says I snore so loud I keep him awake, but I can't believe I snore that bad. I have stopped putting up a lunch for him. He got mad. I told him that if he is going to stop acting like a husband I am going to stop acting like a wife. What should I do? MARRIED BUT SINGLE DEAR MARRIED: Break the sound barrier! Buy your husband a pair of beeswax ear plugs, and he'll sleep like a honey! DEAR ABBY: Am I crazy or what? Whenever I meet some one, the first thing I notice is his teeth. I ask you, is this normal? TEETH WATCHER DEAR TEETH WATCHER: There is nothing abnormal about it. Almost everyone "notices" something in particular about people on the first meeting. I notice noses. DEAR ABBY: Please tell Janie June that all healthy, nor mal cats WILL land on their feet when tossed up in the air. If hers landed on his head it must have been a fat cat or an old cat.

DR. ELLIOTT Optometrist CREDIT GLADLY 10 MEN FULL SAX SECTION 0 o 9 'til 1 Standard by B. I. McGaltey SLUMPS Everybody knows about the baseball player who has a sudden, inexplicable slump. Even the best have these spells. The slugger suddenly can't hit anything, the great pitcher can't get the ball near the plate. There seems to be no reason for the slump. The ballplayer doesn't do anything different ly, and he hasn't suddenly lost all of his skills. The slump is mostly a mental con dition, but "thinking posi tive" won't cure it lt just has to work itself out. What is often forgotten is that the rest of us have slumps, too. They just don't show as clearly in our "bat ting average." We all have our low periods of efficiency. Like the ballplayer, we'll just make things worse if we press or panic. We just have to g on doing the best we can. For there's anothcj Im portant fact to remember about slumps: they always end, avtrangely eoi sudcn y as the started. McGafJey'i a EtfGENE .

Because the hearing mechanism is complex, it can be affected in many ways. There are dif ferent type of hearing losses some can be helped by simple amplification, others need specific correction in various frequency ranges. With a "high tone" hearing loss, for example, you hear people talking, but voices seem indistinct and muf fled. A loss in the lower frequencies makes voice sound thin and weak. Persons with certain types of hearing losses hear better in noisy places others need quiet. Each person's preference as to type of hearing aid e must also be considered. Many choose the popular eye glass hearing ijids, others tiny behind-the-ear instal ments. Ladjea prefer the barrette orSi-the-hair models, and some-persons require the powerful amplification provided by pocket-type aids.
