How to

Home Remedies Deserve Respect

faith in some medication that
may not have any scientific
basis behind it.
I have mentioned here pre-
viously how my mother had
faith that lettuce leaves gave
her a good nights sleep. She
would go to the refrigerator
and pick a fresh leaf and
chew it dutifully; the next
morning she would say: "I
had a wonderful sleep. 1
wouldn't be without my let
tuce."
Although I know of no in
gredient in lettuce that pro-
notes somnolence, I never
discouraged her.
I recall dozens of patients
who have sworn by Lemon

fast. They say it has helped
their arthritis more than any
medicine. When they asked,
What do you think of it,
doctor?" I answered invari-
ably, Keep it up" Taking
this mixture did not in any
way interfere with any other
medicine I prescribed for
them.
People have a right to

their squirming youngsters to

SUPPOSE YOU WERE
concerned about your heart
and you went to a doctor for
a complete evaluation. When
he was all through with the
examination he said: "Your
heart Is normal, but don't
overdo things"
How would you feel about
1t when you left his office?
Chances are you would
think: IF my hearts all
right. why did he say I have
to take it easy?"
Early in practice I used to
make that mistake myself.
What I was really doing was
hedging. Either I wasn't sure
Of the diagnosiS-or / wasn't
mean enough to tell the pa
tient he had heart disease.
I think 1t is a mistake
for a doctor to say this to a
patient. When the patient
leaves the doctors office he
should know definitely wheth-
er or not his heart is normal.
Every patient needs to know
the truth about his heart.
However. it isn't fair to tell
him: You're all right,
but"
If your doctor ever tells
you this after an examina-
ton I believe you should
come right out and ask him
for a direct answer Eyes or
MOI to the question: do I or
don't I have heart disease?"
Otherwise you will always
live in doubt.

THE DETAILS
Lucas R.-All through our
20 years of marriage my wife
and my older sister have been
feuding. Many bitter things
were said. They have not
been on speaking terms for
four years. Now our Oldest
daughter is to be married.
We are having a big affair

offer congratulations II she
wants to.
Francine R.-This sister,
in-law Of mine Is the most
impossible person. She has
a tongue that is sheer poison
and she might have ruined
our marriage IL I hadn't
been strong enough to fight
her. She is domineering and
reels 1t Is not only her right.
but her duty to run the
family.
Well, I want to show her
that the family can run itself
very well without her. We
have gotten along without
her opinions these last four
years. Our daughter Is max.
ing a wonderful marriage,
MY sister-in-law doesn't even
know the young man-and
I'm glad Of it.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The husbands desire to
heal the breach is far more
important than how 1t would
look to other people. Most
family feuds are more or less
dissolved at happy or tragic
occasions. It is so much bet
ter to choose the opportunity
afforded by a wedding. Fran
cine should consider her
husbands feelings in this.
And there are the brides
feelings to be considered. She
should certainly be consulted,
Brides like to feel that every
one wishes them we'll and a
sense Of family togetherness
adds to the joyousness of the
occasion.
1t is possible this unpleas-
ant sister-in-law would not
take this opportunity to bring
about better feeling. Then
the fault will be hers and the
Rs can feel that they at
least extended the hand of
peace and friendship.

Pond Turtles, Rats, Snakes
By JAMES BIRcHFlELD

evening here came Claude and
Charlie.
They had q long line with
hooks on it. and a bag Of liver.
and they went to work. They
got most Of the hooks baited,
and would have gotten them
all fixed If 1t hadn't been for
Tar, the Labrador. She found
the bait before they had fin
ished, and that was that.
Anyway, the line went across
the pond and Charlie said it
wouldn't take more than five
or so days to get all the
turtles. And Just to show that
he meant business, he killed a
water snake at the edge of the
pond. Never saw so many
snakes" said Charlie.
One good thing always leads
to other. While he was setting
the turtle line, Charlie noticed
where the muskrats had been.
I'll get rid Of those for you.
too" he said.
Charlie said the female musk
rats move away to have their
young because the male rats,
like tom cats, like to kill the
young. While they are gone. he
said. you've got to stop their
holes.
Charlie said you do this with
pieces of broken glass and rocks,
Then when the rats come back,
you've got to watch for them
and see that they don't make
other dens.
1t is good to know that Char
lie and Claude have taken over.
Now I can turn over for an
other nap.
But, I almost forgot. The
first turtle Charlie and Claude
caught wouldn't 60 into a wash
tub. So. you see. they've made
Ia good start.

All you have to do is yell real
loud in the country, and some
body comes a-runntng.
No matter what your prob
lem is, there is someone who
knows more about 1t than you
do, and they are almost always
ready to help.
Take the matter Of my tur-
ties. Our pond was getting full
Of snapper. and we didn't know
what to do. ! thought about
making a turtle trap, but that
was work, and I Just sort Of let
1t pass.
I know how to make a good,
workable turtle trap, all right.
You take four good-sized logs
and fasten them together in
a square. Then you Ak a hard
ware cloth bottom, and put
nails all round the top so when
the turtle climbs in he can't
climb out again. Then you float
the log pen you've made, bait
1t with pieces Of meat, and wait.
But just think what it would
take to make a turtle trap
and in this heat. too I'd have
to go into the woods and saw
down the trees for the logs.
Then I'd have to nail the logs
together, and put the hardware
cloth on. Then I would have to
put the nails in around the top
at just the right angle.
Too much work! / would
rather have turtles, even If they
do get away with some Of my
fish.
AS things worked out, I didn't
have to do all that work, and it
looks like the turtles are going
from the pond.
And that is because of Claude
Bell and Charlie Alban. Finally
the word got around about my
turtle problem. and the other
