Will they lose their sex ual interest, will they get fat and dumpy, will they lost the love of their husband, will they go crazy, will they get un bearable flush es, or will they get cancer? Women puz zling over such conditions would do well to send 25 cents to the Public Affairs Committee, of 22 East 38th st. New York City, for an excellent pamphlet on "Understanding Your Menopause." It was pre pared by Stella Applebaum and Dr. Nadina Kavinoky. As they say, so much of the fear that women now have in regard to the menopause is un justified. Many women just stop menstruating, and that is all. The only thing -then that the woman loses is her ability to menstruate and to bear children. To many a woman this is rated as a blessing because, for the first time in her married life, she doesn"t have to worry about getting pregnant. As a result, she is often a better sexual partner than she ever was before! A woman does not have to lose her sexual responsiveness grant ing that she ever had much. If she never had much, she is likely to use the menopause as an ex cuse to keep her husband away. But if she always was a good sexual partner, and if she is still in love with a potent husband, there is no reason why she should not go on for many years, enjoying a happy sexual life. Other Matters Blamed Many of the difficulties that women experience around the time of the menopause are not due just to the cessation of function in their ovaries; they are due to such things as an un happy marriage of a daughter or a son, or to financial difficulties, or to the husband's heart attack, or his retirement, or the prob lems of getting out of the old big house and into a small apart ment. A woman who has been sane all her life, and who has sane and sensible and pleasant rela tives, is not at all likely to get depressed during the menopause. The woman who might get de pressed is the one who has al ways had a tendency to get very tense and blue before each period, or who has always been a bit moody, or has had a moth er or a grandmother or an aunt who more than once was badly depressed. But even such a woman, who perhaps carries a tendency to depression in her blood, can keep fighting it off even throuch the menopause. Slip can usuallv keep going. If she should be one of those rare persons who can't shake off the blues, she can usually be cured with a few electroshock treat ments. Period of Anxiety Some women have a good deal of anxiety for one or two years around the menopause because they will stop menstruating for a month or two and then will start up again. In some cases to day we physicians are at fault for having given the woman such a large dose of an ovarian ex tract that, after she has stopped menstruating, she is made to start up again, perhaps in an atypical way. Especially if she just spots, the question will arise. Has she a cancer of the uterus? This may call for a cure- I treatment, with a microscopic examination of the scrapings of the womb. In my experience, a woman can usually get along well enough with one small dose each day by mouth of an estro gen or ovarian extract type of drug. Good women's specialists advise against giving enough, to nr Alvarez MAIL TRIBUNE Time Comes the time they w4nt to sell it then they do the whole joint over for somebody else's benefit- NICKELS IT - Emerltui Conjultant In Medicine, .nayo tunic Emerltua Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation cause soreness of the woman's breasts or nausea or a return of menstruation. Soma Have No Discomfort As I said, some women at the menopause have absolutely no discomfort, either physical or mental. Some who were intense ly nervous all their days can get distressing flushes. When these flushes are very bad they can cause the woman to jump up out of her sleep. Usually they can be controlled to a considerable ex tent with the use of estrogens. Many of us physicians worry our patients by telling of the fear some of us have that cancer may develop somewhere because of the use of the estrogen. Actually, the danger of this is so slight that many of the best gynecolo gists in the country tell their patients to forget it. I have no fear of giving estrogens, and have never seen any cancer that I could ascribe to their use. No woman need get fat and heavy and unattractive at the menopause. If,-with too good an appetite, she has a tendency to gain weight, all she has to do is to live largely on vegetables and salads with enough meat, fish, chicken, egg or skim milk to supply her needs for protein and strength. For women who want more de tails on the menopause there are a few good books available. One of the best is by that fine writer, Maxine Davis (McGraw Hill, New York City.) New Antiboiici ' ' Many persons will be glad to hear that new antibiotics are constantly being hunted for and found. Some give promise of combating diseases due to germs that are not brought under con trol by penicillin. I was just reading of a new antibiotic that will protect mice against infection with a germ that, in man, sometimes produces a urinary infection, that penicil lin cannot cure. The new drug helps, also, in cases of whooping cough. - Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer re quests for information or to at tempt to diagnose by mail.

Davis today for a pre liminary hearing. Charles E. Weeks, special agent in charge of the Miami FBI office, announced Wednes day night agents arrested Brown in a hotel room here on a fed eral warrant, issued at Jackson ville charging him with inter state transportation of a $150 worthless check. Brown's arrest ended a long search by federal and local of ficials in a number of eastern and southeastern cities for a man who has been posing as the Cleveland Browns football star and bilking those who believed him out of hundreds of dollars. Weeks said the check which Brown cashed in Jacksonville was signed with Groza's name and was drawn on the non existent "Cleveland First Na tional Bank." "It is "anticipated that Brown has cashed numerous other checks and the investigation is continuing," the FBI said. Brown was confined in the Dade county jail pending his prelim inary hearing. In Cleveland, Groza told Unit ed Press similar reports of his name being falsely used have turned up in New York, Phila delphia, Jersey City, N.J., New Orleans and Savannah, Ga. The FBI said Brown told agents he was on probation in Pennsylvania for charges similar to those on which he was ar rested here.

Some gripes we have heard lately: "If any one can figure out this economics set up, they have me beat," from a farmer who had just finished figuring out his income tax. "Another four years like this and we will all be in the poor house," from a farmer in the upper hill coun try, who runs a small herd of cattle. Gordon Kersaw, the square dancing nursery man, has in creased his nursery acreage here by leasing 10 acres on the Baker place, just across the fence from his present plantings. The warm sunshine and balmy air of last Thursday caused many here to think that spring had already sprung. The warm weather anad the arrival of Gill Bros, seed catalogue caused our better half to begin talking about planting peas, and urged us to start stirring the soil for the sowing of seed. We tried to tell her that the bright sunshine was only a "weather breeder", and the only way to tell when winter is over is to wait until the ground hog comes out and looks it over. This didn't prove to be a convincing argument, and we found ourselves doing some digging, raking and burn in, getting ready for the early planting. Since then we had freezing temperatures, with rain and snow. The annual cleaning of the local ditch company's irrigation ""' , , , , , , .1, coffee that smells like coffee!
