 And there is the alarming in- crease in divorce. Without ques- ton, any threat to marriage sta- bility affects women more deeply than 1t does men.
 The problem of giving relief to the cold and hungry children of bombed out countries all over the world is certainly a problem Am- erican women should take to their hearts. It shouldn't be enough for them to see that their own children have the food and care necessary for growth when the diseases brought on by exposure and mal- nutrition are taking an alarming toll of the children of other lands.
 It would be easy for American women to refuse to look around

WHAT DOES THE COP AT THE CORNER SAY?

I have been taking ambulant (in- jectlon) treatment for hemorrhoids as you recommended recently. The doctor advised me to take mineral oil and also a preparation of cas- cara to keep the bowls regulated, But according to your teachings mineral oil IS not desirable for continued use. You say flax seeds A nurse told me flax seeds cannot take the place of mineral oil as a lubricant and will simply form bulk. (F. M. S)
 After all, suppose it doesn't matter much what the doctor, the nurse and I say about 1t. When we are through yammering you'll probably stop on your way to the store some fine morning and find out what the cop at the corner has to say. What I can't understand is how you have managed to elude the drug clerk who sells you the stuff. AS salesman the drug store counsellor naturally knows as much about human pathology as shoe clerk does about bunion and Buer- gers disease, or so he gives gullible customers to understand.
 Notwithstanding the adverSe judgment of the authorities still say that if I were in your place, F. M. S., I'd take no mineral oil nor any cascara combination or other cathartic.
 I'd take only plain whole, clean, raw flax seeds, heaping teaspoon full once or twice day, every day, for several weeks or months.
 At the same time I'd keep on hand a supply of plain, whole, clean raw wheat, and I'd chew a mouth full of it two or three times a day
 Third, I'd scout around and try to find some bananas. If I could find them I'd eat at least three or four ripe bananas daily, more if ] liked, never less.
 That's all.
 On that program-and no low cracks from kibitzers, if you please I'd sit tight, in complete assur. ance that Nature, long deposed anC almost forgotten, will presently take over control.
 Tn fact, if Nature has been sup planted by Nostrums, no matte whether you have developed hem orrhoids or not, some such plan a. this will restore natural control provided you are not too ignoran of elementary physiology. Howev' CT, if the nostrum mongerS havt got you trained as a sucker, yol may be hopelessly addicted by now but anyway it can do you no harm to spend a long winter evening reading "The Constipation Habit and Colon Hygiene" one of or DoC Bradys Little Lessons in the w. oi H. mailed on written request (not 6 clipping) if you inclose ter cents and stamped self addressed envelope.
 In talks to follow we'll investigate some common physics and theii effects.

 In acclaiming "The Harvey Girls" as one of the best musicals I've seen in many months, I want to make one reservation. The song number which should be the high- light of the entire picture will un. doubtedly fall flat with millions of fans, simply because it is now "old- stuff," worn threadbare on every juke box in America. I mean "The Atchinson, Topeka and the Santa Fe." It seems to me that Metro was guilty of a serious error in permit ting that song his to be released months before the picture. No mat ter how much the studio gained from royalties the profit will bg more than offset by the effect on movie audiences.
 I'll admit that when first saw You Came Along" I was content to dismiss the performances of its co-stars, Lizabeth Scott and Robert Cummings as better than average but not particularly outstanding At that time, you see, I hadn't heard them express their opinions of one another and was entirely unaware of the deadly feud that animates their remarks.

 (Mrs. H. F.)
 AnSwer-There is no such remedy the idea is just a kind of bait used in swindlers to sell their fake remedies to credulouS folk. If the smoker wants to acquire a distate for smoking she can de so by rins- ing mouth and gargling each night and morning with solution of thirty (30) rains of silver nitrate in a pint of distilled water. This should be kept in a dark container away from light.
 Sour Milk
 Is there any danger to health from drinking sour milk? If SO, what? co. W. H)
 Answer-On the contrary it is beneficial to health, if you like it.. Some people like sour milk as well as or better than buttermilk. The advantages from drinking it are virtually the same as from drink ing buttermilk or any of the fancy cultured" milk beverages. Of course sour whole milk is twice as nour- ishing as skim milk (milk from which cream has been removedD or separator milk if a machine is used instead of skimming, and skim milk is equal to buttermilk in cal- oric value.

 Water Has Odd Uses
 In Louisiana, river water has magic powers, according to Lyle Saxon, Edward Dreyer and Robert Tallant in their new collection of folk tales called "Gumbo Va Va" They state, Tn the Delta country there is an affliction called sun pain, which the older people claim is peculiar to that section of the country. Sun pain is periodic pain located at the back of the head. It grows and waneS with the suns movements in the sky.
 "To cure this, several remedies have been developed. An old man goes from door to door calling out, Cure your sun pain!' He has little bottles of river water in which spid- CTS eggs have been placed. The user is directed to bathe his forehead with the water. Another cure is to pathe the forehead three times a cay in pan of river water, and

Robert Montgomery and capt, John Ford, respective star and de rector of 'aThey Were Expendable," ," now at the Strand missed flying disaster by ten feet during Florida location scenes of the drama of Pr action.
 To capture the speed and excite ment of maneuvering torpedo boats, Ford sent six FITS into the open sea for a series of formation runs. This was no directdrial whim. More than a week of planning had gone into preparation for this event, and each maneuver was care- fully charted on paper for five Navy shippers. The sixth was Robert Montgomery himself, who piloted the lead boat and who was respon- sible for starting each complex for- nation.
 The first two runs were filmed from the deck of an accompanying Higgins boat. Then Ford and his camera crew clambered onto a tiny platform erected eight miles off- shore to film the most spectacular maneuver of all, a 90-degree turn executed simultaneously at full speed by six roaring torpedo craft.
 With Montgomery piloting the lead boat, the vessels raced toward the camera platform. In the split second between collision and safety, Montgomery twisted his wheel and cleared the crew by narrow ten feet
 DO I get a stunt check?" he call ed after the action was safe on celluloid.
 "No, but we should" Ford shout ed back. The few of his men who hadn't shinnied a high platform piling for safety, were dripping from the mighty wave thrown up by the pounding PIT boat.

DmAR MARY HAWORTHs I am . housewife, %. Ny husband is S4, We have been married six years and have two children, a boy and Q girl aged s and 8, respectively. our daughter was born one week after my husband embarked for combat Overseas, and he never saw her until three years later, when he returned home after five years Army Service
 Now he is back in civilian life with . good job that pays very well, and he has brought furniture and other needs for the house since his return He Is Q very quiet man who spends his evenings at home when he < off duty'-and that makes miser- able wife for a woman who has been separated for three years from the man she loves.
 Having waited so long, loyally and faithfnlly--as Q wife si1ould-for his attention and affections, isn't 1t rea- Sonable to expect that ct least once a week he would take me out for the evening to a show or such? Well, ht doesn't. His answer is always the same, T am too tired. If you want to 90 out, 90 ahead. don't mind.
 He IS cold toward me and appears not to notice my heartbroken feel ings! His behavior at home goes in q cycle as follows: time for meals, time to go to work and then, in the eve. ming, time to sit and rest until it's time to 90 to bed. Which means that he Is no company at all to his wife and children.
 Our first year of marriage, ever though we weren't much together was much sweeter than our life now because he proved his love more ir those days. What can I do to change back to the way he was before he joined the Army? If my husband loves me as I think he does, cer- tainly wish he would do more tC show it. Please advise me.

 Ready to claim your reward of a 2-pound weight loss, aren't you?

Missing Wheat Goal
BY 3 Million Bushels

Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son today predicted the United
States will fall about 5000, 900
bushels short of it's goal of 225 ,0O0,-
900 bushels for famine relief during
the first half of this year.
Appearing as the first witness at
a House Agriculture Committee in
vestigation of the world food sit
uation, the Secretary declared that
while this country would not reach
the hoped-for goal of 225, 900 900
bushels, it should have no difficulty
reaching its official commitment of
206 ,250, 900 bushels, or about $4,000
TONS
He disclosed that wheat was now
being delivered to the Government
at the rate of 100000 bushels
day. This, he said, is based on load
ings at Duluth, Mimi, the major
grain loading port.
Against Requisitioning.
In reply to a question by Repre-
sentative Ridley, Republican, of
Oklahoma whether he agreed with
UNRRA Director General La Guar
dia that the Government should
requisition wheat from farmers, MIR.
Anderson replied: II do not"
Chairman Flanagan declared at
the outset of the hearing that cha
otic conditions" have arisen from
irresponsible statements" from per-
sons in high positions"
These people, Mr.. Flanagan
said, have no connection with the
production and distribution of food,
and, in my opinion, do not know
what they are talking about"
He added: These irresponsible
statements have resulted in resent
ment on the part of farmers, con-
fusing our people, and creating the
impression abroad that America is
not doing its part in relieving
hunger"
Hits Price Changes.
Another thing that has farmers
worked up," he continued, is the
frequent change in prices, "ofttimes
to their detriment, and the inter-
minable orders and regulations with
respect to farm products"
Mr.. Anderson is the only Govern
ment official to testify today. The
committee also plans to call State
Department representatives.
Officials of these two agencies
have differed in the past over the
