DEAR ABBY
He Mixes Tromps and Ladies
By ABIGAIL VAN buren,

DEAR ABBY: Why is 1t
that a man who has a wife
will pick up some tramp and
treat her like a lady? Then
he will turn around and treat
his wife like a tramp?
LYDIA
A man picks up a tramp"
because he wants a female
companion who is no better
than he is. In her company,
he doesn't feel inferior. He
rewards her by treating her
"like a lady,"
He treats his wife who is
a LADY, like a tramp" be-
cause he feels that by de-
grading her, he will bring her
down to his level. This makes
him feel guilty. So in order
to get even" with his wife
for making him feel guilty,
he keeps right on Furnishing
her.

study is indicated, I think,
because in 6 per cent of men
whose major symptoms was
coughing up blood, the cause
was found to be lung cancer.
The chances are against

But why guess and lose

DO YOU RECALL the old
joke about the first manager
saying. after watching his
fighter pummeled from first
round to last: I'VE had a
tough fight. We C certainly
did?"
People used to smile when
they heard that one. 1t was
the fighter who had been
catching it; not the manager.
Now come scientific obser-
vationS that prove that
coaches and managers and
those on the sidelines also
"get a clobbering" - even
though apparently out of
harms reach.
Blood studies on oarsmen
after a recent grueling race
showed that they had I'M
doubtedly been subjected to
great stress. But surprisingly,
examination of the eosino-
phile count in the blood Of
their coach (who had been
sweating it out on the side
lines) showed that he had
undergone even greater stress
than his boys.
This is proof again of how
much the emotions can &C
tually affect the physical
body. I think it explains, too,
why so many of us feel
washed out" after watching
an exciting sports battle.
When we take sides, it is
inevitable that we Sunday

to pay in terms of stress for
our anxiety and souped up
emotions.

When you go to your doc
tor for a physical do you
wonder why he routinely ex-
amines your breasts? Do you
consider it a superficial and
unimportant examination be-
cause it takes only a few
minutes at the most? Whether
you are male or female, be
thankful that he is thorough.
During one week, a few
weeks ago, I recall detecting
early breast LESSONS in men
on three successive days. I
had not observed a. lump"
in a mans breast in thous-
ands of previous examina-
tions. You never can tell.
Women, as is well known,
are more liable to have
breast tumors.
In a recent report to the
Wisconsin Medical Journal,
Drs. F. j. Hofmeister and
Robert P. Reik noted their
findings after routine physi-
cal examinations in 4-418
female patients. They dis
covered so breast LESSONS; of
these, IL were malignant.
1T SEEMS EVIDENT that
no complete physical" is
really complete unless the
doctor rules out the posi-
biAty of breast tumor.
Mrs. L. L. j. of Oregon
writes that her husband,

heart trouble, has had no in
lection and no difficulty with
his lungs such as chronic
bronchitis or emphysema.
She adds: THE X-rays

there anything else to do?"
Heart trouble, tuberculosis,

though your husbands X
