The reason so many hus-
bands and wives go on suf-

wants to hurt the others

lessening affection.
But it isn't. 1t is self-pres-

Have a Question:

Mrs. l.. NJ. O.: could
scarcely be more specific
about "Ben-Hur." The date
1880 must appear on the
front of the title page. Since
THE date does not appear on
the front Of the title in your
!book. it is not a first edition.
/: Mrs. J. v. R.: The reason
collected works Of standard
authors are not generally
valuable is that they are
printed in large quantities
and are therefore not scarce.
I. b. M: Yes, the condition
'of a dust wrapper is relatively
just as important as the con-
ldition Of the binding in a
.high-priced book. A book in
fine condition with dust
wrapper, priced at 500,
might be worth only SIS,

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Sleeping Pills May Be Worth Risk
By DR.. PETER ] STElNcRoHN

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: Some
time ago l read in your col
umn that a drug had been
perfected to queIl tensions
in elderly people and had
been unusually successful.
My curiosity was aroused
because l. find that taking
an ordinary sleeping capsule
ton the market for years
and which also requires a
doctors prescription has
given me an excellent nights
sleep. It leaves me with a
surprisingly rested and good
feeling the next day. My
tensions seem to disappear
when l am well rested.
Do you recommend the
continuation Of this drug?
I am So. When I don't take
il l wake up at 2, 8, 4, and
S am. and can't get back to
a good sleep. Result: / feel
like the devil the next day.
Whether or not you should
continue the drug will
depend entirely upon your
own physician. The fact that
you are taking it indicates
that he agrees. Otherwise he
would not be giving you pre-
scriptions for it.
For many years I have
kept telling myself that the
practice of medicine is not
all white or all black. There
are many shaded gray areas
where you have to make de-
cisions by good judgment
and not entirely by the
book"
AS a doctor you can be sure
that I have been aware Of the
dangers Of habituation to

giddy. ] have the most awful
giggling fits. in the worst
places, like church and at
assembly in school.
What makes it harder for
me is that I have a kid sis
ter Of Is who is just like me.
Whenever I think I've got
myself under control, ! hear
her giggling and that breaks
me up.
If things go on this way, I
won't ever be able to go out
with boys because they
think I'm awfully silly-and
they break me up worse than
anything.
Mrs. r. B.-Silly as it may
sound, this has become a real
problem in our household.
My husband is a hard-work-
ing professional man and he
loves a peaceful home. But
from the minute he comes
home there are these con-
slant crazy outbursts Of
giggles.
Every single evening we
are forced to send the girls
away from the table. If we
have company we don't dare
let them dine with he adults.
We have been embarrassed
dozens of times in church
and on other formal occa-
sions. We are always forced
to leave.
Until she was Is, Susan
was the worlds most beau
tifully behaved little girl. We
were rather strict with the
girls and they still try hard
to do as we wish, but they
seem unable to help them
selves.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
If the r. BIS would think
of their daughters giggling
fits as a tic or a stutter it
might help them deal with
the problem a little better.
Any parent who has ever
had to deal with a Stutter
or with those jerky, involun-
tary gestures known as tics
knows that he can't order
the child to stop. The order
almost always will produce a
much worse outbreak of the
habit.
The child who develops one
of these nervous manifesto
tons nearly always is trying
desperately to control it.
Some anxiety. some deeply
rooted problem has forced its
way through into this express
sion. The child is shamed by
his awareness of something
he can't control and this pro-
duces even more tension.
Adolescent girls do tend to
develop giggling fits. but in
Susan's case it has gotten
beyond the usually control
liable boundaries. Probably the
great stress her parents have
placed on good behavior has
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-25

made matters worse than
necessary. The guiltier Susan
feels about her behavior, the
more uncomfortable it gets.
The r. BIS should stop
making a problem Of this.
They should try to ignore it
as much as possible and en-
courage Susan and her sister
to express themselves in
other ways-SportS, dramat-
les, music and social ac-
Invites. When they become
deeply absorbed in something
outside themselves, their gig
giles gradually will disappear.
