Wives Should Stick to COOKING
To Avoid Divorce, Scientist Says

were DR.. Richards prescription for
a happy home, but she .derided a
suggestion that an extra candy bar
would make Johnny good boy.
Commenting on New Zealand
magazine article that there was a
psychiatric connection between a
boys appetite for candy and his de-
sire to be good boy, she said such
a statement would be bad science
and damned foolishness."
DR.. Richards, author of several
books on child conduct, said that
physicians often worked on the
theory that well ll-nourished person
is well-adjusted person. What
they should do is help the, person
adjust himself and let the appetite
take care of itself.
That got her onto the subject of
undernourishment in general and
then she came up with the state
ment that more attention to the
frying pan would land fewer mar
riages in the fire.
