YOU'RE ALLERGIC, so WHAT?

YOU'RE ALLERGIC, so WHAT?
 Now that the distinction of hay ing had a major operation for ap- pendicitis or gall stones has largely vanished, says Oren D. Durham, botanist, in his book Your Hay Fever" (Bobbs- -MerrilD, it is be- coming fashionable to boast of hay ing had "one hundred and fifty skin tests right here on my arm and they found I was sensitive to forty-seven different things"
 That is not so hyperbolic as it may sound. When doctor sets out to trace the specific cause of al- lergy or hypersensitivity of some foreign protein" by the skin scratch test method, the investigation is only well under way when hun dred different protein extracts or allergins have bene applied to a hundred wee scratches on the skin, and it would be remarkable if the patient did not react, that is, de- velop a little wheal or area of red four of the protein extracts have ncs around the spot where three or been applied. Even in clear-cut cases of hay fever, where of course the foreign protein" is pollen, the patients generally react to several different pollen extracts or al- lergins. Some specialists have car ried this allergy idea on still further and they would designate certain ! subjects as being Representative to certain allerginS or foreign pro- teinS in the nasal mucous mem- brane though not sensitive in the skin, or vice versa.
 Assume you have had the 150 skin tests and found you are hy- persensitiye or allergic to 47 things, what then? Should you receive a series of hypodermic injections of homeopathic extracts or dilutions of the 47 things with gradually in- creasing doses to render you im- mune to them?
 That is for you to decide for yourself. It depends on how anxi- ous you may be to get rid of the trouble.
 In any case, the individual who is allergic or Representative to any thing probably has some constitu- tional deficiency in calcium meta bolism. Tn good many cases such Individuals have obtained marked relief or complete cure by increas- ing their intake of calcium, by talk ing pains to include more of the calcium rich foods in their diet or by supplementing their ordinary diet with one or another calcium compound or by doing both, and by increasing their intake of vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption, utilization and reten- ton of calcium, whether from food or medicine. To any reader who asks for 1t (do not send a clipping) and incdoScs a three-cent stamped envelope bearing his address, I'll send monograph on the daily re- quirement of calcium, high calcium diet, calcium feeding and the vita mins everybody needs.
 The calcium-vtamin D treat mcnt Is not specific cure for every manifestation of allergy, but it has brought great improvement or re- lief in thousands of instances, and anybody may give 1t trial, for it is harmless and rather beneficial for most people.

 If Listen Little Girl Before You Come to New York" is disheartening to this years college graduates, 1t isn't because MT. Leaf set out to be discouraging. It's because the city itself is so often discouraging.
 Having read the book which is di- rected to any Little Girl, we thought MT. Leaf might have some words for the girl who is to be graduated from college in a few weeks and who is already thinking of the city.
 MT. Leaf would not Che told mel try to persuade this years graduate to stay away from the city. First, because it wouldn't do any good, and second because some of the girls who come every year do event. ually get to the top.
 He doesn't think the advice usual ly given to young people, Make you start in a small place and then tackle the city"-is worth much.
 He believes the girl who is de- termined to get to a city is go- ing to be 50 dissatisfied in a smaller place that she will do whatever job she has half hearted ly.
 But he does think that no mat ter how or where 8 girl starts her career, she must develop one thing and that is flexibility. So that no matter how remote what she is do- ing is from what she wants to do- she will manage to shape her life toward her goal.

''Sunny Jim Becomes a Gloomy Gus
 by Self-Pity
RAISING A FAMILY-NO. 92
 By Olive Roberts Barton

By Olive Roberts Barton
 So popular has become the belief that childhood is a happy time, the happieSt of life, 1t is hard to make parents believe otherwise. Yet it is true that large percentage of our children are wretched and far from being the joyous, carefree young lings they should be.
 Some parents have only to look back to their own youth to find a parallel in unhappiness. But others, born to throw off trouble and take defeat in their stride, won't be so sympathetic.
 Self pity is the leader of the seven devils that wreck human happi- ness. It is nothing to scorn or to scold. It is simply there, weed that most of us grow in our mental gardens, and we cannot blame the child for something we hug to our own hearts with pride and defiance.
 The one thing that most humans cherish is their right to feel sorry for themselves when their real world does not come up to their dream world in expectation. Or even if one days plans go hay wire and the substitute falls short.
 Adult Adoicscents
 We call such people emotion ally immature" Which means that they are being childish. Which also means that children have more right to pity themselves than their elders have.
 I doubt whether much can be done about it, if child is too sen sitive. AS long as he lives, he is almost sure to attach personal significance to impersonal trouble. It is as though self pity were look ing for new forage every minute to keep it alive.
 But, mother, there are ways to turn the child's eyes away from himself. One is to encourage his activity in things he likes to do. He will find relief in success. Too much failure in trying to meet standards too high for him, will possibly deepen his feeling of futil- ity and therefore dig more space for the roots of self pity.
 At the same time, he should be permitted to attain victories. Ev- cry little extra thing he can mas ter. much as he dreads trying. adds to his faith in himself. The great est foe of self pity is self assurance.
 Children copy example. too. In a house where complaint is the GUS tom, children may absorb the idea that the world is against them, too. Complaint becomes a habit, and habit breeds either fortunate or unfortunate attitudes. In the bright home with everyone sensibly facing life, the breeding one will absorb a more wholesome outlook
 Discourage complaint by ignoring 1t as much as possible. Keep the child busy. See that he is not ridi- culed or shamed. Teach him how to laugh at his own mistakes. It will help. but not cure him. doubt if genuine self-pity ever can be cured.
