How to

Finding Youth in Capsules

Dear DIR. Steincr0hn: Is
there q new medicine called
youth capsules? Mr.. X.
Long before Ponce de Leon
blew out the SO candles on his
birthday cake. and set out in
search for the fountain of
youth, man has been looking
for the magic formula that will
restore vigor. / believe that the
search should go on. Even
though we never find the foun-
tain. it's well-worth discovering
a little rejuvenating trickle
here and there.
Medical investigators have
lately come UP with a combina-
ton of male and female hor-
mones that have been effective
in some people. This mixture
Of androgen-estrogen therapy
helps in the body's proper
storage Of protein. calcium, and
phosphorus AS a result. it re-
builds bone (helping certain
forms of arthritis) and tones
up the body generally.
The patient should never take
such medication without his
doctors supervision. In male
patients. special care is neces-
sary. The doctor must make GER
tain that there is no evidence
Of abnormal growth in the pros
tate. This medicine has been
known to stimulate a growth
which sometimes turns out to
be cancer.
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: Please
tell me what to do about
urticaria. I've had il for
two weeks and the itching Is
driving me out Of my mind.

or two. My doctor is GER

In about half of the cases,
allergy is the cause. We must
find the food or drug that is at
the bottom of it all. Some cases
have a psychosomatic basis. In
some, a focal infection triggers
the condition: chronic infection
in the tonsils. gall-bladder or
prostate gland.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

SALARY: The trustees Of
Princeton University discovered
some years ago that Scientist
Albert Einstein was as difficult
to understand as his theories.
They made this discovery DUR
ing the negotiations which pre-
coded his joining the Institute
of Advanced Study.
Everything proceeded
smoothly until the matter Of
pay came up. A letter was sent
to the scientist, asking him to
state his salary. His reply sent
the Mortified trustees scurrying
into conferences. How were
they to meet his demands?
They were unthinkable: out Of
the question.
After much discussion, an
other letter was sent to Elm
stein. The trustees were very
sorry. but they simply could
not accept his terms. However.
they were submitting a counter
proposal. which they hoped
would be satisfactory. The
counter proposal offered the
scientist three times the
amount he had requested.
VOTE: Although Abraham
Lincoln frequently consulted
his Cabinet. he alone, like every
other President, made the final
decisions.
Once he placed before the
group a proposal which he
strongly favored. Every MEM
Der Of the Cabinet voted against
it. When the votes were tall
lied. Lincoln announced:
Seven nays, one aye. The
ayes have it.

AS soon as you get your pen
sion and walk out into freedom
that extends from here on, you
are supposed to get your hands
on some road maps, take the car
in for a checkup, then take of
on q trip.
It's quite the thing to do.
And you should do it. You
have no idea how good you will
feel when you get back home.
Retired people are being fed
a lot OF propaganda-by neigh
bors and other retired people
on the glories of auto travel.
OF course. auto travel is the
cheapest there is. You have the
opportunity. for the FIRST time
in your life, to take a pro-
tracted trip. OF course you'd
like to see some sights.
But taking an auto trip after
retirement is not undiluted en-
chantment. Understand that
now. before you go. and you'll
not feel like a misfit when you
get back home and face your
neighbor. He didn't really have
such mad fun either.
Go on and take your trip.
Don't let anything said here
deter you. Just take these few
grains OF salt before you turn

Not for You
These superhighways that are
being built across the country
are for truck drivers, travelling
statesmen. and smart guys who
want to make 700 miles a day.
They aren't for you. Forty-five
minutes after you get on one OF
these highways. with cars
screaming by you at 70 miles
an hour, you'll find that you
dare not even glance at a COW
in the field, that you're a nasty
name If you're going under so,
and that the world has indeed
gone mad.
Modern automobiles are
murderous. You keep thinking
Of two cars colliding at so
m.p.h., and where the steering
wheel would hit your chest
and you grow too tense TO give
your wife any conversation.
Long automobile trips, for
most people, grow extremely
monotonous. This u especially

It is time. when people
reach their Cos. to give up the
strain Of q heavy. complex
occupation and substitute a
new. lighter activity. For
women. volunteer work can
be perfection. There are hum
dreds Of jobs for capable,
knowing hands and the pa

older woman.
Retirement is. Of course,
harder for q man. When a
man retires it is as If the
main switch Of his life is
turned on and he stands
empty-handed. His concern
tration on success has ex-
cluded all other interests,
sometimes even his family.
He has no other resources as
a woman has, and he COL

Some men can turn happily

ulcer-ridden executive who

children's homes with tables
and bookcases they couldn't

look younger with the pass
ing years. Retirement, ! feel,
means q new adventure in
living-not q stopping.
The first human necessity
for q retired person is a home

emotion that follows a death

! say this for the sake Of the
elder person. No one should

dependence from them with
cut realizing that there is a
risk Of blighting that per-
sons existence. The older
man or woman is far better
on with fewer material adj
vantages in q place where in
dependence Of behavior is
possible than in the most ele-
CANT room in q home where
conformity with local rules is
required.
Understand this: Old peo-
pie. most Of them, are full
Of complaints. This is as
natural a part Of their psy-
chology as arguments are to
children. It's a form Of at
tention-getting and should be
treated mellowly, particularly
by visiting members of the
family. The older person can
remember when he was
healthy, sturdy, busy and
needed; his present existence
cannot possibly look as good.
