Is completely exhausted very early in

noise and general excitement, and get
under everybodys feet, and on every
body's nerves. Family pets think the
day of judgement has arrived. and
either 60 into hiding or run away for
good. Dogs are shot for having
rabies" when they are only trying
to get through fit induced by noise,
heat and terror.
GIT down and study your plans for
the week end, now while there is
plenty OF time to whip them into
reasonable shape. Send the pets to a
quiet place to board over the holiday.
II you are going to stay home, plan
foods that may be prepared with a
minimum OF heat and workout
which will stick to the regular dietary
requirements, SO that digestions won't
go on spree. Remember II you are
planning trip, or picnics, that you
should have bottled water to take
along. and that good first-aid kit,
which may be bought for few cents,
is a mighty valuable adjunct. Plan
picnic food with care, so that 1t will
not be too perishable, and so that 1t.
too, will adhere to proper diet rules.
Make up your mind not to take so
much along that you and the family
will be tempted to overest And
remember to pick up the trash before
you leave your picnic site. Other
people don't want to look at your
leavings.
II you 60 to the beach or plan to be
out in the sun, be sensible. and take
sunburn lotion or cream along And
don't try to get a Miami tan in one
day. 1t isn't fashionable any more,
anyhow.
Remember that muscles that haven't
been used much. protest at sudden
abuse. You don't want to have to
crawl to the Office on Tuesday. or eat
your meals of the mantel for the
rest of the week And don't think
violent exercise is going to make you
lose weight. What you eat will more
than make up for the pound or two
you shed at tennis
And, most important of all-don't
trifle with fireworks burns! They can
turn out to be terribly serious. in a
great many ways. Treat the slightest
OF them with all due respect, and
Immediately. When in doubt, don't
hesitate to consult doctor. The
Fourth Of July is responsible for an
appalling number Of missing fingers
and toeS-and even worse.
In other words, don't lose your head

make the week end really a restful

Dorothy Dix Says
Why Not Have BE Kind to Husbands
and Wives" Week?

~ EAR DOROTHY DIX: We

in which to be kind to ami

great II We could have week for
husbands and wives to be kind to each
other? Perhaps they might get the
habit. Who knows? STELLA.
AnsWer-It is q great suggestion.
Perfectly immense. Since it appears
we can only practice our virtues in
mass formation and be good when
everybody else is being good, let's by
all means have be-kind-to- -hus-
as much entitled to week of being
petted and pampered as any of the
other work animals. 1t warns the
heart just to think of wife giving hus-
band pat on the head and saying
There, there now. good old fellow.
make yourself comfortable" instead
of telling him how much dirt he
track in and how she has Just
worked herself to death cleaning up
after him.
And how lovely it would be to see
husband stroking wife's fur the right
way and calling her Pretty Kitty"
and telling her how beautiful she
looked with the blue ribbon he had
just tied around her neck, instead Of
his saying, "Uh huh," when she spoke
to him and burying himself in his
paper before the radio.
Oh, the idea Of husbands and wives
being kind and polite % each other for
even single week is a grand one
The only drawback to the plan is that
if it were put into execution there
would be a perfect epidemic Of fatah-
ties among middle-aged married peo-
pie. Hundreds and thousands of them
would drop dead with surprise.
THEIR hearts couldn't stand the
strain Of the change in the
domestic atmosphere It has been
50 long since they had anything but
indifference and neglect and criti-
cism and fault-tinding from each
other that they wouldn't be able to
bear up under the shock of kiss that
had warmth and love in it instead
Of being as flabby as a cold pam
cake on their cheeks. They would
have to be broken in by degrees to
a show of appreciation.
So perhaps, we had better begin
by one-day celebration Of husbands
and wives being kind to each other
and gradually work up to = whole
week Of it.
But It. is Z grand scheme that
we should all get behind and push
along. For, after all. the way hus-
bands and wives treat each other is
more Of habit than lack Of af-
fection. Lots Of men Who really love
their wives never pay them 4 compli-
ment or make them 4 present or re-
member their birthdays or pay them
halt the attention they do the dog.
