AL am all for educating the
children now about this problem.
They should not be allowed to
grow up thinking that a mental
case is a rarity and that its
presence in our family is such a
terrible skeleton in the closet.
They should see the institution

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
What the husband says may
be somewhat true in principle,
but a pre-teen-ager is hardly
able to absorb such knowledge
without being upset.
While the husbands reasoning
is logical enough, we cannot fail
to take into account the atmos-
phere Of public opinion that sur
rounds mental cases. There
should be no feeling Of terrible
dread. but the fact is that such
an attitude exists. and the chill

shock Of this knowledge.

become aware of the fact. but

Featured in the first half of
the program was the Washington

Salas. This proved to be a solidly

for craftsmanship than for in

eloquent moments in the slow
movement, the piece fails to get
off the ground.

and the prudent rules are neg

cause the penalties, owing to
the body's great power of resist
Iance against disease, are uncer-
tain in their incidence and often
long deferred.
Healthy habits would become
more prevalent if the conse-
Iquences Of their neglect were
more immediate and invariable. "
People Realize Faults
Most people know what does
or doesn't agree" with them.
Bad habits are not sly devils
who, as if from ambush. sud-
denly pounce upon us and make
us i'll. Usually, they make their
assaults in the open. The in
tended victim knows he is in
danger. We hear it from patients
every day,
For example a woman with
heartburn says: Il know what
brought it on. Too much coffee.
Whenever I take over ten cups of
coffee a day, ] know I'll suffer!"
A man whose eyes are almost
shut tight due to swelling of his
lids says: Il know what it's due
to. That sea food l had last
night My allergist told me to
keep away from it,"
This cough?" says another
patient. 1T may be caused by
something else, but a good bet
is that it's due to almost three
packs of cigarettes a day"
Patients often come to the
doctor already knowing what's
best for them. In obtaining their
habit-patterns, doctors are not
surprised to hear patients say:
I'm too fat should reduce"
or II smoke too much for my
own good. I'd better give it up"
or Il drink too much, 1t will
ruin me if I don't let up"
If it's only bad habits that are
troubling you. why go to the ex-
pense of getting a doctor to
agree with you? It's more sensi-
Bile to drop his fee in your chill
dren's piggy-bank. Once the
bad habit is recognized, you
and you alone-are the only one
who faces the job Of overcom-
