1t may be shamed into him.
I know a woman who was not
only born to the true blue and the
manor, but whose husband was
extremely rich. She was popular
and kind. She was handsome and
sweet. But I never met her after
she had been away for a week or
two that she did not ask at once,
"Well, what have you heard
against me now?"
talked to her and told her that
she was having Authorizations. No
one had said word against her.
She had many friends and 1t only
made her wretched to think such
things. It was futile to talk. She
never got over the feeling that
people would lay her out as soon
as her back was turned, which was
not true, of course.
What caused that2 I wouldn't
know. Probably she was too
sensitive as child and her parents
were too critical. At any rate, she
had lost faith in herself, which Is
fatal to real happiness.
Now for the child. He must get
used to some roughage. He Is also
entitled to expect certain fair
ness. He cannot always be tor
mented about the occasional mis-
takes and never have his pride
bolstered at all. He must have q
faith in his parents, too, for chill
dren suffer vicariously If they
think their mothers and fathers
are not respected.
The inferority child, as have
said, won't ever be entirely cured
of it. He simply has to do the
best he can. But he won't get any
real complex" or fixed idea about
his worthlessness If he can forget.
Too many people are trained to
remember. Not enough to forget.
There are many, many things best
forgotten. To brood and thus add
agony is terrible. Let children
learn to forget many Of the mean
things others may do. Don't feed
their suspicious. Get the matter off
their minds.
That feeling Of persecution
should be routed as fast as pos
sible. He needs all the faith in
human nature he can preserve.
After all, it Is only hurt pride,
self interest and a terrifically exc
aggerated ego that helps us to
nurse suspicion. Persecution Is
imagined nine times out Of ten.
But real or imagined, 1t is bad
debt to the posSeSSor.

of HOW TO DO THE NEWEST
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-02-09
INSULIN REACTION is SUGAR
SHORTAGE

SHORTAGE
Diagnosis of true diabetes rests
not upon the presence Of sugar In
the urine but upon the simultane-
GUS presence Of too much sugar in
the blood-that is, more than IA
mig. per 100 &C. Of blood (0.14 per-
cent? when the patient is fasting, OF
more than II mig. per 100cc. (0.17
PERCENT when the patient has had
a meal.
In a healthy person there is con-
stantly a certain amount Of sugar
in the blood, averaging 0.10 percent
after a nights fast, up to Ola or
OILS percent after hearty meal or
after indulgence in candy. ice cream
or other sugars or starches. There
is only a rounded teaspoonful Of SUI
gar in the entire blood stream, but
let the amount present fall ever so
little below the level indicated, and
you'll feel extraordinarily let down
or you may even behave as though
drunk and disorderly. In some
cases where there is more than the
normal amount of sugar in the
blood (not necessarily diabeteS) a
similar condition occurs If the blood
sugar level falls only to what is
normal for most persons.
Apart from the treatment Of d.
abetes with insulin hypoglycemia
occurs in many instances where the
nature of the spell is perhaps I'M
recognized, although physicians are
becoming more adept in the diagno-
sis of functional disturbances and
in the medical journals all aspects
of hypoglycemia in non-diabetic in
dividuals are discussed by physi-
clans who have the means and op-
portunity to study the problem. If
measurement of the blood sugar
level were more or less routine in
the general examination, as is
measurement of the sugar in the
urine, no doubt hypoglycem!a
would be found as the source and
explanation for many otherwise in
applicable spells or lapseS from
normal behavior.
Probably the mildest and COM
monest manifestation Of hypogly-
cemia is a rather abrupt change IN
the victims manner and disposition
from cheerful and agreeable to
quiet, apathetic, morose or surly or
from even tempered and easy go
ing to impatient and Grabbed.
In more pronounced lowering Of
the blood sugar the individual is
hungry but doesn't know it. He
feels strangely weak or shaky, vag-
uely afraid Of he doesn't know
what, has tremor In the hands,
moisture in the palms, even a few
beads Of sweat on the forehead,
with some mental confusion or
daze.
In still more serious instances
lowering in the blood sugar level
brings irrational, even violent con-
duct, alarming collapse, unconsci-
BUSINESS, even commissions.
In any case the remedy Is food,
preferably sugar In some form, but
almost any kind Of food. Immediate
ly available will quickly relieve and
generally completely restore nor
nalcy.

Both attitudes show a lack Of
confidence in the value Of the job
they have undertaken. For If a
housewife fully realized how inn
portant is her job Of making a
home, and seeing that her children
grow up to be the right kind Of
persons, she would not be apollo
getic for her role or envious of
other women, no matter how ex-

The housewife who sometimes
wonders If she Is missing the best

knows that a really successful
housewife is still the most Success

NEW CLOTHES WON'T
HIDE FIGURE DEFECTS

It follows logically, therefore,
that the smart woman will d0
all she can to improve her own
appearance before she starts
looking for new clothes. She knows
she won't find dresses to conceal
figure defects. With shoulder lines
on suits less broadened lines on suits
less broadened than formerly, she
knows how much more important it
will be for her to stand correctly, to
carry her chest high and her
shoulders back so that they viii!
seem broad in their own right.
Since the majority of suit jack
cts are trinity tailored, neatly fit
ted, she'll slim down her waistline
instead Of hoping to find boxy
loose-hanging jacket to conceal
its thickness. There are no bustleS
to conceal excess weight about the
hipline either.
Furthermore, the newest make
up for spring is not intended to
hide complexion defects. It's de-
signed to accentuate the natural
charm of clear. smooth skin. One
who wants to wear 1t, as well as
this springs clothes, successfully,
will map out a self-improvement
campaign before actually buying
anything.
