Ironic Contradiction
This wife points up one Of
the ironic contradictions of re-
tirement in our times-she and
her husband have too much
money. Her problem is one
some 10 million people her age
would be quite happy to have.
The assets she and her hus-
band have total nearly $40, 900,
which is a small fortune. IN
vested at 4 per cent. it would
add $66 a month to their $325.
That's enough to go to Monte

ment-age people worry, too-if
they have that much money.
But people with 1910 a month
usually don't.
Obviously this doesn't make
sense, but there's considerable
evidence to support it. And
there may be an explanation.
When the normal couple sees
a retirement income of $500 or
more. they often get the idea
they can stretch and make do
without changing their mode of
life. They can't. because re-
tirement income is usually a
fourth or a third of what SAL
airy has been. and it's too pain
ful a stretch. Also home life.

Heavy Beer Drinker Gets Worn;no
By DR.. PETER } sTEINcRoHN

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn:
Please write something in
your column about beer
drinking. / am the mother

have never liked the taste or
smell of beer-althOugh / en-
JOY an occasional cocktail or
grape wine when at a restau-
rant or at a party.
/ married a man. who loves
beer and drinks it every day.
What worries me now is that
my husband has increased
the amount he drinks consid-
erably over the five years
we've been married. He has
also changed from a before
dinner drinker to an any
time-Of-the-day drinker.
In the first year Of our
marriage he drank only one
bottle "tO increase his ap-
petite" Now he drinks at
least six bottles on an eve
ning-and more on Sundays
and holidays. I've never seen
him drunk" but he does get
awfully sluggish.
Ill appreciate anything
you can say about his beer
drinking. Do you think it can
become a worse habit? I
don't want to become a mag"
or "wOrry-wart" but 1 am
anxious about my family and
would like to have your opin-
ion.

the past four months l have
been treating a small anal
assure with hot sitz baths
and merthi0late swabbings.
This, of course, was pre-
scribed by my physician who
now recommends operation.
The assure hasn't improved
much. Is there any other
remedy in the Offing? Is
operation inevitable? Mrs. s.
There's no other remedy
know of. I would go along with
your doctors advice. He did not
rush you into operation. He
has tried conservative measures
first. Failing, operation seems
now advisable. If still in doubt
ask for consultation with a
Psychologist.
Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: I am
a grandmother Of 50 and
until last spring was healthy
all my life. After suddenly
bending over l was stricken
with a very severe case Of
sciatica In my left leg. The
doctors needles and electric
treatment did not help. My
left leg has never been the
same. I feel q numbness all
the way down to the sole Of
my foot. At times I am quite
lame. I am wondering will
my leg ever be well again.
What do you think I should
do? Thank you. Sincerely,
Mrs. X. M.
In order to treat "sciatica"
1t is important to make a COM
plete survey to discover its
actual cause. Otherwise treat
ment is guesswork. If your doc
tor has not recommended a
bone specialist. ask him to call
one in. 1t is important to rule
out slipped disc. arthritis and
other bone conditions
as the cause Of the sciatic
nerve pain. Sometimes there is
a tendency for diabetes to have
attacks of sciatica. Have your
doctor check your blood sugar
curve.

Biography Of a Gambler
When he was q young re-
porter. Reutlinger was inn
pressed by the gambler, Nicky
Arnstein because Afnstein was
the first man Reutlinger ever
saw come to his feet when a
woman entered the room. He
was so impressed that when
Arnstein offered Harry $50, 900
to write the Arnstein biogra-
ply, Reutlinger spent a whole
winter writing it. In the spring,
Arnstein left his clothes in a
Chicago hotel. went to New
York, and sold the book to a
tabloid for $4,000.
Harry never saw Q dime of
it. Later, he met Charles E.
Erbstein, q great trial lawyer,
and the two worked together
IN camaraderie. Over and over
again. Reutlinger used to say:
You got to try this one early
in the morning. Charlie. I can
make the late editions with it. "
Erbstein did as the young
man asked. Reutlinger asked
the favor so manv times. over
so many years, that one day
the lawyer said: "I'll die in
time for your late edition"
He did. He went at $50 am.
and Harry made the late edi-
tions with the obituary notice.

jealous and cranky traits al
her age. How can I teach hei
generosity?
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is somewhat unfair to label
Sylvia's behavior as selfish and
jealous. We doubt whether she
is really ungenerous in the full
sense Of the word.
Sylvia is at the stage where
she is beginning to have a
strong sense Of her own person.
atty. She is trying to explore
the boundaries Of the girl, Syl-
via, who is different from and
separate from all the other
girls. Her rapidly developing
womanhood also seems terribly
important to her and she nat
urally has a certain sense Of
/ secrecy about it.
These feelings of separation
and secrecy must have some
expression and her attitude to-
ward personal possessions is a
very natural form of express
sion.
Sylvia may seem cranky, but
it is wrong to give her this
label. She could very well take
on the label for a real aspect
Of the personality she is striv-
ing to shape.
Cecile should be told that
when she is a little older she
may very well feel the way Syl-
via does now. She will want
her privacy respected and she
should be taught to respect
Sylvia's to the letter of the law.
That goes for such apparent
trifles as the nail polish. There
Is no reason why Cecile
shouldn't have her own-and
stick to it.
AS the girls grow older. Mrs.
L. M. will doubtless find that
her teachings will bear fruit.
