Cat, ALMANAC STUFF STIL L SUITS CUSTOMERS One of the loafers on the bowl ing green Jan. 31 wore a scarf or some such coddling around his neck. It irked me. Lots of things on the green do, i such as the f way moves about with his chin in the air when he makes a good shot which happens often enough to keep me constantly nettled, the chin, that is, not the shot, for the only way to take care of the chin would be to fit the fellow with a kind of reverse check-rein. I endured the taunt for an hour or longer, and finally de cided It was my moral duty to needle the mollycoddle a bit So I excused myself for a moment and sidled over to the general vicinity of the animated mum my, yet remaining just out of reach, and offered him a leg of Grandpa's red flannel drawers and a slab of salt pork for his delicate throat. His reply was unprintable, as I expected, but I believe that as a consequence of our little ruckus there will be the shadow of a doubt in the poor geek's mind next time he catches the c-r-i or a crick in the neck. Mind, now, wiseacres, I do not mean to deny that heat or , warmth in any degree or form, wet or dry, is comforting and de : airable for the relief of soreness, pain, lameness, stiffness. If you t are not an Idiot you judge for 'yourself whether heat or warmth gives you enough relief to bother with it If you are an idiot you may prefer to think coddling somehow drives out the "cold" or protects you from J "taking more cold." There are still millions of idiots, or should we say morons, who harbor precisely this quaint fancy, and thousands of doctors shrewd enough to cater to them. Not only the majority of doc tors but also the nostrum ven dors and the insurance corpora tions exploit this popular de lusion of course always at the expense of the customers. For instance, compare, the winter campaign of 1952 against pneu monia particularly the picture of the man clutching his hat, scarf and overcoat collar as he trudges in the falling snow or slush, and the accompanying ad vice to "Dress warmly when go ing out," (dimwit) "especially during cold, damp weather, with any old almanac you may happen to have preserved from the dawn of the century. Was the almanac hokum of the gay nineties one whit more ridicul ous than that which the doctors and the irisurence company's mentors hand you today?

Her First at Forty Is a woman 35 years old too old to have her first baby? (Mrs. W. A.) Answer No. Read the chapter Her First at Forty in booklet PREPARING FOR MATERNITY. For the booklet send 25c and stamped, self-addressed envelope. The question Is, not how old are you but can you roll somersaults? As We Live KNOW WHEN TO SAT EITHER YES OR NO Are you a victim of the im positions of other people? Do you let yourself be talked into doing things f you have nei- ther time nor t. energy to do because you cannot bear to fcay "no" to anyone? , It takes cour- age "no". to say You al- Dr. Hurlock ways run the risk of having people think you are mean or uncooperative when you refuse their wishes. The per son, who always says "yes," on the other hand, is generally pop ular, even if he finds himself playing the role of a doormat to the wishes of others. If you don't learn to say "no", you. will quickly discover that people will take advantage of you. A busy mother will find it convenient to park her children with you while she and her hus band go off for an evening of entertainment or the business man will find himself working nights and week-ends to do work for his boss or his fellow-workers which is not rightfully his. Strange as it may seem, peo ple do not have great respect for a person who is always at their beck and call. They like what they can get from him and they will court his favor so long as he is a willing slave to then wishes. Real Position Found But, once he has the nerve to say "no", they are likely to drop him like the proverbial hot cake. Then he dicovers how he really stands and he learns that his sacrifices have not been appre ciated as he thought they were. Here are some rules that will help you to learn when to say "no" and yhen to say "yes"; 1. Decide whether a person's request stems from laziness on that person's part or a genuine need for your help.eln the lat ter case, say "yes", while in the former, say "no". 2. Say "no" when you have ample evidence that the person who is making the request is using you as a convenience and has no real appreciation for the time and effort you have spent. 3. Expect something in re return for what you do before you say "yes." It does not have to be payment in kind but there must be evidence of genuine ap preciation. If this is lacking, make a rule that your future answers will be "no". LETTERS FROM READERS Self-Consciousness: "What is the best cure for self-consciousness? I have always suffered from self-consciousness since I was a child because my father used to like to tease me," Self-Conscious Man (A) The best and only sure cure for self-consciousness is to train yourself to think so -much about other people and things that you do not think about yourself... It., is- turning., your thoughts on yourself that makes you self-conscious. It will be hard for you now to think of other people if you have been in the habit of thinking of yourself ever since you were a child. Teasing a child is one of the It CJZAItTH HUtLOCK.

As a result, her school work has suffered. How can we cure her of being boy crasy?" Worried Parents. (A) I doubt if there is a "cure" for boy-craziness. You must let nature take its own course and the girl will outgrow it. But, you can put a stop to your daughter's letting her school work slip. Re fuse her all outside activities, especially with boys, and all telephone calls with either boys or girls until her school grades improve. Family Money: "I worked be fore I was married and was ac customed to haying my own money. My husband pays ' all bills and never gives me any money for myself. I would like to work but I have two young children." Disturbed Wife.
