 All neurotics, neurasthenics or persons who ascribe their i'll health to weak nerves or nervous exhaus. ton belong in either Class A or Glass B, I sincerely believe. Class A neurotics really have something tho matter with one or another function or organ and err in at- tributing the trouble to nerves" Glass B neurotics practice nervous | imposition on their relatives, friends and the world-use their nerves" as an alibi or q means of escape from the responsibilities of life.
 To give Class A neurotics any more sympathy than one gives any other invalid would be to en- courage them in their error. feel that one shoul dendeavor rather to mako them snap out of 1t and take proper steps to have their trouble diagnosed and properly treated.
 Glass B neurotics certainly de- serve no sympathy. Their victims, their relatives, families, friends, deserve the sympathy. The correspondents allusion to the doctor Hacking the faculty of understanding nervous disorders" is not 50 naive as 1t may seem. It implies tho doctor Is & heartless creature if ho refuses to act as ac- compllce for the patient who wish- es to practice nervous imposition. Here 1t must be repeated that inc valids who really have nervous dis orders, that is diseases of the nerv- ous system, are generally not what is commonly called nervous" at all; they neither demand nor re- ceive more sympathy or patience or attention than any other inva- lids do.
 I estimate that 25 per cent of all neurotics belong in Class B and 75 per cent belong in. Class A, though l may be wrong about this, for as- suredly the Class B neurotics whine and complain great deal more than thet others. This, feel, is a sufficient indul- gence for health teacher to grant to nerves"

Pour boiling water over spinach or kale, let stand five minutes, pack loosely in clean hot jars, add one teaspoonful salt for each quart, fill jart with hot water, half seal, and place in boiler and boil for three hours. Take out seal at once, be sure to use new rub bers and boil lids. (Mrs. L. W.) Answer-Thank you.
