once mentioned of determining
whether the husband or wife
ruled the household?
Alas been claimed that be-
tween man and wife the one
with the widest forehead above
the ears Is the one who domi-
mates the household. or course,
many smart women who sctu-
ally rule the household manage
to make their husbands think
they do. Better measure the
little lady's forehead, sir, and
find out where you really stand.
Q-I weigh 95 pounds, my
husband weighs s1S0. Isn't il
unusual for husband TO weigh
twice as much as his wife?
Alt Is not unusual for a
man to be double the weight OF
his wife. However, II Is unusual
for q man to weigh three times
as much as his mate as the film
director Alfred Hitchcock does.

In fact, the really best treat
ment for insomnia is a few con-
vincing conversations with the
patient. or let the patient talk
to himself. He won't believe
it at first.
Especially if he has gotten
into the habit of taking one of
our new hypnotics, because they
are like the crutches a lame
man has been using for years.
He is convinced he cannot get
along without them, but once
he finds he can and has enjoyed
his freedom. he is as happy as
the day is long.
THERE is no question about
l. the efficacy of these new
hypnotics. The old ones we
used TO use had a long induc-
ton period and usually too long
a period of action. They left
the victim dopey and were more
habit forming than the modern
ones. But the very fact that
the modern hypnotics have so
many virtues is another reason
for using them with caution
and sticking TO nature.

past and In the twists and turns
OF political events OF the next
few months. Warren may ad-
vance TO the first rank OF con-
tenders.
Warren has great personal
appeal. He is a war veteran,
and has one son from his large
family now in the service. He
is fine looking figure of a man,
makes a good speech. and is
deemed quite sound politically
by the Republicans. Again like
Dewey. he was a district attor-
ney. Later he was attorney
general OF California. He is
making an excellent record as
governor.
Many voters will probably re-
fleet that il Willkie thinks War
rem good enough for the second
spot. he must be good enough
for the first. But, OF course. il
the Willkie camp has really de-
cided TO try 10 corral Warren.
IL is political expediency that
prompts the move more than
anything else.
WARREN demonstrated in his
campaign for governor Of
California that he is a great
vote-getter. and any Of the can
didates would be delighted TO
have him as running mate.
More often than not, a candi-
date for vice president is a
blank when II comes TO getting
votes. Sometimes he is a posi-
tive drawback in that respect.
Warren is well placed geo.
graphically. The population Of
California and the Far West
generally has vastly increased
since the war and naturally the

way, he must expect a longer
and somewhat more intensive
period OF psychotherapy.
RUT I am convinced that if a
conscientious effort is made
to overcome insomnia by psy-
chologic means, it will always
meet with success and It will
certainly be worthwhile to do
away with the all too frequent
hypnotic habit which, encour-
aged by modern doctors, is
growing by leaps and bounds.
There is no scientific reason
for suggestion that sleep of
equal depth and length and
equal restorative function can
not be had in the daytime as
nighttime.
THE health record OF English
infants and children has
been very good during the war
years. Children and expectant
mothers have the first call on
the limited supplies of milk,
eggs and meat In the quanti-
ties they need.
There has been some squawk-
ing about food rationing in this
country, but as I look around
l see very little of 1t that is
legitimate.
Every one whom / see Is
getting enough to eat. and while
there may be a black market

woman who also had a family in

the war we could send for our

me TO sign over my half Of the

that 1 should pay all the bills,

like 70 leave this woman and start

in the matter? MR.. A. A.
Dear Mr.. A. A:
1t may be wise for you to get
out Of your house In view Of the
fact that your relationships with

and that you seem TO want TO
get rid OF her.
However, II you want to get

Better Health
by DIR. Logan CIendening

MY MAIL is full of complaints
AVA from war workers who are
on the night shift and can't
sleep, or think they can't sleep,
in the daytime.
There is no question that
there is a real problem involved
here and one that needs con-
siderable patience and thought.
/ think that planned adjustment
is the best answer TO most
peoples problems along these
lines.
BY adjustment, I mean in
dividual adjustment by will
power.
WE ARE animals habituated
to sleep at night and we
can't change these century-old
habits in the twinkling of an
eye.
The acc com m dations nec-
essary are to make the bedroom
as nearly an imitation of the
bedroom at night as possible.
Noise and light are to be ex-
cluded and this can be done
nearly anywhere. but you may
have to set your will power to
work on il.
The adjustments cannot be
made, as said, in a day. or
even n week. and the worker
will find that as times goes on
his restlessness and apprehen-
sion leave him and he is sleeping
better.
