that I know. Many children are
happier out of a crowd. They can
not adjust themselves to a lot of
personalities at one time. They
may be far more miserable in a
gang than out of 1t. What such a
child will feel. however, is that he
is hurting us by being at large, so
to speak.
But about the crowd. II they
really are prosecuting Bud and
hectoring him, and he won't fight
back now, being trained otherwise,
I should certainly forbid all con-
tact. Either that or move.

HI, THERE, CALL OFF YOUR DOG
When I was a smart young doc.
tor, at. least I thought, 50, hurry
call came one day frcm q leading
citizen. Was my face purple when
I arrived at the house, to learn
that poor Pete hid broken his leg
and would / be so kind as to put
q cast ON it or something. Pete, you
see, was a terrier. Well, sir, Moth
ing burst. Indeed I did apply q
cast, and Pete expressed his APP
probation for it. I was astonished,
for that was long before the adj
vent Of Tony the Wirish Terror,
and I; had no intimate knowledge Of
the way Of dogs. It rather irked
me, however, when I saw Pete, a
few days later, running around on
three legs sans the cast On Inv
quiry / learned that Pete found the
thing burdensome to drag about,
so he had discarded 1t and was re-
lying on unguided nature to heal
his fracture. Nature healed 1t, all
right, in her usual bungling FASH
ion, but Pete never complained about
the deformity-he had three good
legs, so what?
Article here July 5 mot All
Mad Dogs Have Rabies" told how
DR.. John w. Patton, East Lansing,
Michigan, veterinary, experiment
tally produced kind Of madness
in dogs by fielding them on diet
adequate in all other respects but
lacking vitamin B-1 = thiamin;
then brought the racing, bowling
maniacs, frothing at the mouth,
screeching piteously, or in appall-
ing commissions" back to normal by
giving them an injection of thia-
min. DR.. Patton expressed the be-
lief that many thousands of dogs
are killed because people are
frightened into believing the dogs
have rabies, when in fact the dogs
suffer only from these fits, due to
lack Of vitamin B-1 in their food.
The item was published here be-
cause !, too, believe the everyday
diagnosis Of rabies, whether 1t is
an off-hand opinion Of doctor, vet
Urinary or health officer, Is a bad
guess. I am speaking now of rabies
in animals. AS for rabies in man, T
gravely doubt that it ever happens.
But advise you to be guided hy
your own doctors advice in refer
ence to rabies, and not by the adj
vice Of any politician who happens
to be a health officer or dog
catcher.
E. L. M. was inspired by the
item to report her experience In
giving her 14-year-old dog vita
minis B-1, q, d together with one
fourth grain Of thyroid every al.
ternate day. Anyway, after eight
weeks Of this treatment the dog
got back into splendid condition.
Well, what Of It? This Is q health
column - for people. One dog
doesn't make o dogma. Please do
not tell me any dog stories. II
brings back the picture want to
forget-that last reproachful look
and doubtful wag Tony gave me
when I gave him to the execu-
toner, after poor old Tony had
grown too feeble to carry on. Let's
not talk about dogs any more.
MetaboIism Down
Three times In the past year I
have made a determined effort to
reduce, following the Corrective
protective diet. you gave in your
column, but after four or five days
of 1t I get so dreadfully. (Mrs.
H. w. F.
Answer-Your basal metabolism
rate gets far down. That defeats
many who wish to reduce. You need
the help of doctor, who will watch
metabolisnn and use just enough
thyroid to keep 1t normal.

that when a mother gets in, 1t
seldom helps the cause.
If Buddy could work back into

COUTURE MUST
FIT YOUR HEAD

If your face is very long, height
squarely on top will not be flatter-
ing, Of course. You'll have me-
dium-length bob instead of a long
one, but you'll have height high at
one side instead Of directly over
forehead. The tapered line at the
back will be widened slightly with
fullness behind ears In a horizontal
line with your jaw. Otherwise. your
face will seem even longer.
Generally speaking, hair from
six to eight inches long is used
for curS or roll that makes for
front height. Side sections are
front four to six inches below lobe
of ears. These are swept up and
away from ears. Hair at the back
will, If tapered, be quite short. If
finished with curls or a roll, it will
be no more than six inches below
the nape.
