DEAR ABBY: My husband
gives me the silent treatment
when he gets mad at me. 1
would much rather have him
yell his head off and get it
out of his system. He is in
the third week of his silence
and it is about to kill me.
l follow him around and
ask him what I did wrong but
he doesn't say a word. He
just gets up and walks out of
the room. No one knows how
aggravating this can be. He
gave me the silent treatment
for eight weeks once for losing
his bank statements. I have
no idea what I did wrong
this time. Have you any So
luton? We've been married
So years.
PUNISHED.
After living with this ISL
lent partner" for 81 years
you should know how to pry
a little conversation out of
him. Ignore him. When he
realizes his silence is not pro-
ducing the desired effect
you'll hear plenty.

embarrassed but I couldn't

By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

a bit of encouragement to
the widow whose husband
shot himself. You say you
are confused because you
thought you had a happy
marriage, but now there are
rumors to the contrary.
Psychiatrists tell US that
suicides are people who are
emotionally and mentally Ill.
This suicide need cast no
reflection on your marriage.
If you thought" you were
happy for % years, then you
obviously were.
Rumor and gossip will ac-
company a suicide until we
convert the ignorance Of our
society to understanding.
Devote yourself to one other
worthy cause beside your
children. Try the mental
health program. After all.
who should help promote
this cause but those who
know?
And keep your faith in
God. His love is broader
than the measure Of mans
mind. Live with the memory
of your % happy married
years. Memory is a gift from
God that neither death nor
gossip can destroy. Every
word that I have written is
true because it is the story
of my life. I am

Until today, you had to smoke two
kinds of cigarette to get what you get
from one Alpine. If you wanted the
comfort of high filtration, you had to
smoke one kind. If you wanted the
pleasure of alight touch fmenthol, you
had to smoke another kind. Now you
get both in one cigarette new Alpine.

by some organizations. Keep
1t faithfully, so you know
how much you have taken in

Thirdly. learn to distin-

Fourthly, recognize that
you must save money on
single items. You can't save
by adopting a resolution or
making a proclamation. You
can save only by looping a

dollars of that one. Instead
Of making a battle out OF

ways of saving money. Have

neither spendthrifts nor
tightwads in the family
merely smart buyers.

MY wife and I really love
each other!" $50 far so good.
I thought, as I read Mr.. LIS

agree on one very important
thing-moneyl
"She wants to keep SPEND
ing 1t, and I have to keep
telling her why she can't.
Honey, we need a new living

get an air-conditioner before

"Oh, I agree with her. DR..
Popenoe; but at the same

thing coming up that takes
priority, and my wife doesn't

Then the auto insurance.
Then the fire insurance on

you're a family man. DR..

But how can I get my wife

WHY GROW oLD2
Tips
On Foot
Comfort
Rx JOSEPHINE LOWMAN


Resister and Tribune Syndicate
Today I want to give you a
few followup hints about foot
comfort.
I already have mentioned
the Importance of wearing
shoes which are properly
fitted. In most cases you can
depend on the salesman to
help you. However, there
are some things you might
remsmber. First your feet
80. orter when sitting than
when standing. Therefore
they should be measured
when standing.
Also, usually one foot is
larger than the other and
shoes should be comfortable
on the larger foot. The
widest part of your foot
should rest in the widest
part of your shoe and the
turn of the sole should come
at the big toe Joint. Your
shoes should extend from
one-half to three-fourths OF
an inch beyond the end Of
your big toe.
If your heels flop up and
down when you walk. you do
not have a good fit.
Too Short
Stockings which are too
short in the foot can damage
the feet almost as much as
too-short shoes. Be sure that
they also extend we'll past the
end of the big toe and be
certain to make allowance for
shrinkage when laundered.
Stockings which are too short
in length will pull against the
garters and cause fatigue or
aching legs.
Ingrown toenails usually
are due to incorrectly fitted
shoes. However, sometimes
the way you cut your toe
nails makes difference.
They should be cut straight
across. not rounded.
Calluses and corns may
come from wearing shoes
which are too tight or too
loose or have the wrong
vamp for you so that pressure
points develop.
Walk Right
Calluses. especially, may
develop because you do not
walk correctly. Take a good
look at your shoes. They will
tell you lot about how you
walk. For instance, If your
heels are runover on the in
ner side of your shoe, you are
placing too much weight on
the inside edges Of your feet,
Runover heels should be re-
paired. You cannot walk
properly If your shoes are in
this condition. After your
heels are corrected, try to
correct your walk.
When you have a bunion
your big toe joint is dislo-
Gated and inflamed. In the
case of corns. calluses or bum
ions it is best to see a podia-
trist or a chiroprodist for ex-
pert treatment.
