Men pick out the women
they want, and marry them,
much more often than the re-
verse. But one of the most
wholesome indications that we
are becoming civilized is that
women are more free today than
ever before to select the man
they want, let him know il, and
marry him. There is no reason
10 suppose they make worse
choices than the men. Whoever
makes the match. il can now be
pretty well predicted whether
IT will end happily or otherwise.

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

TTfERE is no better example
l. Of the success of regard for
medical treatment than that
used in peptic ulcer.
1t is a condition that in at
least IS per cent Of cases re-
spends beautifully to a careful
following out Of medication and
diet.
But the course must be fol-
lowed for about a year, and in
a certain percentage even then
occurrences are likely TO happen
- at any time during the next five
to 10 years.
But the final result is a COM
plete cure.
And the alternative may be
some very serious complications.
These complications which are
bleeding and perforation, occur,
II is true, in only IS per cent of
the cases.
But no doctor is wise enough
TO be able TO tell which indi-
vfdual patient is going 10 fall
into that group. and we do not
know that faithful compliance
with some very simple dietetic
and medicinal routines will pre-
vent many from suffering these
serious complications.
No treatment in my opinion
has ever supplanted or improved
on the Sippy treatment of ulcer
80 long used by DR.. B. w. Sippy
OF Chicago.
The elements in the treat
ment are Of the greatest SIM
plicity, but they must be fol-
lowed faithfully for a long time,
in order to attain success.
They are, first. frequent small
~ponirritating meals, rather than
rec large meals.
Van acceptable schedule of
meals is breakfast at s a. m,
glass of milk at 10 a. m. light
lunch at IL noon, glass Of milk
at 4 p. m, and light supper at
6 p. m
CECOND, naturalization OF the
~ excess acidity in the stom-
sch which Is nearly always pres
ent and which is almost GER
tainly the irritating factor
which causes the Indigestion.
This is done by the use of
alkaline powders such as soda
bicarbonate, calcined magnesia,
or calcium carbonate.
Lately the aluminium prepara-
tions have proved valuable adj
ditions or substitutes to this
list.
Third. avoidance OF irritating
foods. A list of foods irritating
to ulcer is as follows
Alcoholics, barbecue. chill
sauce. buttermilk, coleslaw. con-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
II. W.-What causes tearing
Of the eyes,
Answer Usually obstruction
OF the lacrymal duct which
automatically carries tears from
the inner corner Of the eye 10
the inside OF the nose. The con-
dition can be helped by an
oculist.
A. k7s-Is there any foundation
TO the idea that putting salt on
grapefruit is a harmful prac-
tice?
A: No, Probably putting salt
on grapefruit rose TO popularity
due TO the recent scarcity OF
sugar, and was adopted by those
who like sugar on grapefruit.
Salt is harmless on canteloupe
and watermelon also. Excess
salt is readily eliminated by the
kidneys and any danger applies
only 10 those who have kidney
diseases.

MO MATTER how nationals
~ tic an economy may be, the
movement of goods, services
and money must be interna-
tional.
But varying levels of human
culture produce varieties of
standards of living and there
fore wage scales.
Steps are taken nationals
tically 10 prevent the lower
priced goods and services from
destroying the standards of a
higher waged country.
This disturbs world economy,
produces crises, unemployment,
poverty-with their concomit-
ants, statism and even war.
This problem requires solu-
ton before peace can be re-
stored TO the world. but IT
cannot be solved outside the
capitalist system except by the
acceptance of a state controlled
OF even owned economy.
This type of state is called
totalitarian no matter what its
guise.
1t quickly solves its problems
by enslaving its own people and
as many others as II can
conquer. -,
It does revert to the middle
ages: ii recreates serfdom-
slavery to the state.
TIVE social value of the CAPT.
Il talist system is equality OF
economic opportunity and the
legally guaranteed rights OF
each individual.
Nevertheless. the advance OF
science and engineering tends to
lessen equality of opportunity
because large units of produc-
ton become inevitable.
In the early stages of capital
ist development. a blacksmith
could become a founder and
build himself into man OF ex-
IrdOTQlndTN Wtdltll.
Opportunity then IS within
larger enterprises rather than
in Individual small enterprises.
But that is not altogether a
wholesome condition within the
capitalist system. which must
always prevent combinations OF
production which while not mo-
nopolistic--a legal term vari-
ously interpreted at different
times-may be so overwhelming
as TO invite government control
of the economic process.
Here then is problem OF
regulation. but not one which
involves reducing steel mills TO
foundries or huge synthetic
chemical plants TO village al
chemists.
Regulation. often involving
some iniuSticeS. is preferable TO
government ownership Of pro-
duction with its limitations upon
human ingenuity.
THE motive force of capitalism
Il is competition.
Those who fall for half truths
regard competition as wasteful.
Why. they ask. should there
be six breakfast foods when one
will suffice; why have four
brands of cigarets when one will
do?
Why have taste? Why have
needs? Why have desires7

That's the way you hear about
II when you get some stripes.
The first man to see the orders
comes up as soon as he sees you
and addresses you by your new

about where to find some stripes
TO sew on.
Because you've supposed to
get your chevronS on instantly.

A Soldier

We sound off, Yes, SIR"
and srive running. And the
lieutenant or captain or who
ever il was that hollered, says,
"CORP-RUL, where the hell are
your stripes ?"
THE last time it happened, I
l. said, "Just a minute, Sir"
ducked around the corner and
put on my field jacket-that
being the first garment onto
which I'd gotten the stripes
sewed. Then I just walked back
and waited for him to look
again. AS long as I'm some
where where I can wear my
jacket, I'm safe.
The catch is, you never know
when your orders are going to
arrive, and it would take a
bigger optimist than I am to
buy any stripes before the
orders come.
The closest place you can buy
them is the Main PIX, which is
over a mile from here, and il
the PIX is out of them, you
have to go to Admission. OF
course the supply room can
requisition them (the army
allows eight sets) but that takes
several days at best.
So there lou are. It's up TO
you to find 'em somewhere and
get 'em sewed on before the
major or somebody sees you.
p. s.: The best place to get
corporal stripes is from some
sergeant who never got around
to sewing all HIS stripes on
when he used to be corporal.

says:
"A real man, a man capable
OF love. if and when he is COM
mitted 10 a mutually sustaining
relationship with a woman, does
not go around with other women.
Why? Here's why: Implicit in
the character of the normal,
rational man is the knowledge
that to find happiness, security
and satisfaction in relation to a
woman. he must first give her
happiness, security and content
ment. Let me define love" he
continued.
Love is that state in which
the satisfaction and security of
the other person becomes as
satisfaction TO one as ones own
satisfaction and security. And
when this condition exists In an
affectional rela ionship, you
don't need laws 10 hold il to-
gether."

MY husband Is a man I mar

he had obtained a divorce from
his first wife.
During these nine years. he
has had affairs with five women.
He is musical and an associate
OF his, a girl, has fallen madly
In love with him.
When the girls parents OBJ
served this. they tried to end
the association.
My husband and / agreed TO
