Your Health and Its Care By DR. WILLIAM BRADY. M.D. Raadari should addran Inqulrlat toi Dr. Wllllsm Brady, 265 El Camine. lavarly Hills. Call. CAN'T TAKE THE MALARKEY ABOUT CHANGE OF LIFE When it comes to a question of hygiene, physiology, pathology, mrrhnnp or hraith you may ask me but yQu can't tell me I a bo u t it.

"The main reason that we refer to alcoholism as a dis ease." says a member of Alco holics Anonymous, voicing the same opinion as many other members have voiced in let-., tors writing to me concerning an article printed in this col umn, in which I said the alco holic doesn't HAVE to get drunk, he merely chooses to get drunk "is to serve as a constant reminder to ourselves that we can never again drink sensibly or socially." The main reason why we doc tors, or some of us at any rate, refer to alcoholism as self-indulgence or a bad habit is that the alcoholic doesn't have to drink but merely chooses to drink. Some alcoholics prove this by deciding to stop drinking and stopping. More alcoholics do so by virtue of the courage and in spiration they get from Alcohol ics Anonymous, God bless them. Did you ever hear of an -epileptic who stopped having seizures because he decided to have no more? Or a migraine victim who stopped having sick headches be cause he or she decided to have no more? Or an asthmatic who stopped having difficulty In breathing because he decided to have no more difficulty? Then there's the change of life. From the anxious inquiries I receive, many of them from women of good education, as ed ucations go I gather that many young women look forward to this so-called "crisis" with mor bid anticipation. Worse still, some of the voluble psycholo gists, psyschosomatologists and paper neurologists are busily promoting the concept of the "male climacteric" a "change of life" in men that gives the so-and-so's an alibi or an excuse for their bad behavior after for ty, or for being caught at it. It Is an indisputable fact that most women experience no dis turbance of health, comfort, per sonality, personal appearance or any other feminine characteristic at the menopause. They simply cease to menstruate, and that's all. Therefore it is Just plain stupied for a young woman to approach middle age with any fear or anxiety about the "cri sis." Thera isn't any "crisis" If the woman has had a fair edu cation. As for the alcoholics who Ilka to blama their drinking on a mysterious "disease," they be long in the same category with mature men who choose to blame their misconduct on a myste rious "change of life." For their own good, in the long run, we should let them know that we are onto them and their trick psychologists.

Lowell Whooping Crane Keeps Motherhood Secret Austwcll, Tex., May 27 (U.R) Josephine, the only female whooping crane in captivity, to day kept up the suspense of whether or not she's a mother. The activity around the nest where she and her mate. Crips, have been warming their pre cious egg for weeks looks mighty suspicious, Julian A.

The Lowe Family. Lillian Russell enjoyed a good cigar. That's what 1 said. A New Yorker who claims she knew her well says Lillian never smoked a cigar in her life. I will call Ar thur "Bugs" Baer as a witness in this casci. Lillian once asked "Bugs" to write some vaudeville material for her. When Mr. Baer called upon Lillian to discuss this material he says she was smok ing a large cigar and continued to smoke it during the Interview. Wives "As to wives." says a Califor nia husband, "they can be class ed as home makers, home mana gers and house cleaners. A home maker is a wife who puts the comfort, peace, quiet and con tentment above all else. A home manger is a domestic efficiency expert. She runs her house like a business office and has a touch of the slave driver to her. A house cleaner is a wife who is al ways squawking about how things should be in order. She drives her husband wild asking him: Why did you do this? Why did you do that? Why aren't you neat like other men? And so on, far Into the night. A pitiful fig ure, indeed, is the poor wretch whose wife is the house cleaner type." Passing By Greer Garson. My favorite film actress on and off the screen. She is an unusual combination of beauty and brains. When 16 years of age she was tutoring stu dents of Cambridge university to help them pass their examina tions. She was later awarded a scholarship by the University of London from wiiich she gradu ated. As for her beauty. Miss Garson has been described as having "autumn rod hair, sea green eyes and a flawless milk white skin. , , . Patrolman Sid ney Hutchins of the New York police.

That Toledo, O., pianist, who played for 29 hours continuously, had a lot of endurance but wasn't near the world's record.

Hones k Woman When a woman continues to be beautiful after ten years or more of married life, it reveals she has a husband who knows how to treat a wife. Or that she is in love with a man other than her husband.

A Manhattan restaurant claims to have originated "boneless shad" as a menu item. I believe that claim can be questioned.
