Care for Cactus:

picturing how to get house
plants to thrive and bloom. 1
followed the instructions re-
garding what I had thought
was a Christmas cactus and.
as it had never bloomed for
me, I was at a loss as to how
to care for it. 1t develops that
my plant is an Easter cactus
and the result of following the
advice in the article has re-

Keep the Easter cactus

season of active growth, spray

These plants are both ma

II months.
When she got out of the
Army in 1947. she completed
her desire to spend her life in
medicine with five years study
under the GI bill and a di-
ploma from the Women's
Medical College of Pennsyl-
vania.
She came back into the
Army in 1852.
Capt. Adams thinks that
more women physicians will
be attracted to Army service
as they learn what opportuni-
ties for specialization as well
as general practice it offers.
Capt. Fred is an example OF
a student who took the pro-
fessor's advice" at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin Medical
School from which she grad
uated in 1851, and decided to
get as much general practice
experience as possible before
choosing a speciality.
She thought the Army
offered the best opportunity
to implement this advice. So
here she is taking care of
babies in the nursery one day,
outpatients from six to 60 the
next day, and so on around
the clock of the busy routine
that is typical of a big Army
general hospital.
Some interesting figures

BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

I am glad to say that many
of the subjects which are of
the greatest Importance to
women, but which were at one
time taboo in print, now can be
written about frankly.
Menopause is one. The term
change of life" is unfortunate
because it indicates a drastic
change in way of life. Actually
nothing changes with the
change of life" except the
ability to bear children. Do not
allow any "old wives tales" to
cause you to believe otherwise.
Menopause is as natural a
phi :se of life as adolescence
yet many women dread it from
80 on. The average age for
menopause generally is around
A. Many women have little
or no discomfort, while some
have minor discomforts which
can usually be controlled with
harmone treatment.
I like to include the fol-
lowing warning in any column
I write about menopause be-
cause it is so important. Many
women make the mistake of
thinking that any Irregularities
which occur at this time are
natural for this period. Perhaps
hormone imbalance is the
cause but these are symptoms
of tumors and cancer, too. You
should go to your doctor i'm
mediately when you have any
unusual occurrence.
This is not a time of illness
but, while your system is ad-
justing itself to the new setup,
you should give yourself a break
with a little better care and
a little less strain. Mild exer-
else, enough rest and sleep,
fresh air and simple but nu-
tritious food. are for you!

In general, the climate dur
ing October and November,
when we were there, was warm,
with little rain, but not quite
as warm as the southern part
OF the State. Daytime tenn

fact that the ocean is exceed.
ingly warm in that area all
year-round.
Although we rented while
we were there, it was our
understanding that houses
were reasonably priced and
generally good. The beaches
are some Is miles from the
city proper, but are easily ac-
cessible via good highways. In
addition, there are many resi-
Dental districts between the
city and the beaches with
handy shopping and transpor-
tation facilities. In this area
there is a wide range of hous-
ing prices.
Public health and sanitation
standards are very high and
the city operates a very active
recreation program, with many
parks.
Living costs are comparable
to any metropolitan area in
the Southeast. slightly less
than in the Washington area.
