Wife Gets Urge to Write Novel

DEAR ABBY: What do you
think Of a woman who, at
age so. thinks she is a writer?
She lets the dishes pile up in
the sink and sits up until two
and three in the morning
typing. She has been writing
a romantic novel" for three
years. She let me read some
of it and, Abby. it is positively
filthy! She says that's what it
takes to get a book sold these
days.
This novel" of hers is full
of grammatical errors, but
that doesn't worry her. She
doesn't even have a high
school education. I told her
if she had so much spare time
she should get herself a set
of eighth grade school books
and begin her education
where she left of 3S years
ago. How can I get her to
give up this foolishneSs and
do something useful with her
time? HUSBAND
No wife should pursue a
hobby at the expense of her
family, but If she is inter-
ested in writing professional
ly, she should take a course
in creative writing and learn
the fundamentals. Only a
mountain of shocking pink
rejection slips will discourage
a budding writer, and some
times it's easier to move a

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

MEMORY: President Theo-
dore Roosevelt had a pro-
digiouS memory. He was able,
after a single reading of a
printed page, to quote the
text almost verbatim.
After leaving the White
House, Roosevelt Travelled ex-
tensively. One night, at a
banquet in Budapest, he was
asked to say a few words to
the assembled Hungarian
leaders.
Roosevelt got to his feet,
paused for a moment while
he appeared to be gathering
his thoughts. then delivered
a lengthy speech about Hun
gary during the Middle Ages.
His listeners were amazed by
this feat of scholarship.
Later, one of his aides
asked him when he had
found time to make this ex-
haustive study.
"I didn't do any studying"
confessed T. r. When I
stood up, I didn't really know
what I was going to say.
Then I suddenly recalled a
book on Hungarian history
which I had in college and I
jusft began to read from it."

Anti-MoIorio Drug in Arthritis
By Or. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
doctor has tried practically
everything in treating my
rheumatoid arthritis: Heat,
massage, aspirin, corticoste-
roids, and other well known
treatments. But I am still
in pain and discomfort. At
the last visit he said he
would soon put me on an
anti-malarial drug. Not
having malaria, I wonder
where is the connection
Sincerely, Mrs. T.. New York.
RHEUMATOID arthritis is
more than arthritis-it is an
involvement of the entire
system. Stubborn it often is;
and trying to the patience.
During the past few years
there have been some opti-
mistic reports in the use of
anti-malarial drugs in treat
ing this condition. In some
way they seem to have an
nti-rheumatic effect. Chlor-
equine is one of several of
such drugs. Favorable news
has come from Great Brit
ain as well as from United
States investigators.
But don't expect improve
ment right away. The usual
experience is that it takes at
least three months before
the medicine begins to take
effect. Some patients can't
take the antimalarial drugs
because they lose appetite
and get skin rashes. How
ever. reports from Canada
indicate that if you have no
side effects like those I have
mentioned, it is possible to
take the drug for as long
as 5 years. II, as you say,
Mrs. T., nothing else seems
to help. I think your doctor
is wise in considering the
antimalarials.

especially those caused by
long-standing, severe acne.
You don't have to go to the
hospital for the treatment.
1t is performed by a skin
specialist who uses a motor
driven wire brush after the
patient has been prepared for
surgery by a local anesthetic
called ethyl chloride.
In many patients there
have been extremely good
results. I advise any patient,

face that makes him or her

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: ANY,

Of patients.
If there is an acute break
out of the condition with in
f1ammation of the skin in
addition to the scaly erup-
tions, you must be sure not
to "overtreat." Until this
acute phase subsidies doc
tors usually prescribe boric
acid ointment. coal tar oint-
ment, Lassar's paste or COL

When the disease is
chornic the patient often re-
spends to ammoniated mer-
curry, or ammoniated mer-
curry and sulfur (5 per cent

guage," which clinched his
claim to fame.
An earlier Webster'S, quite

is his first dictionary, pub
lished in 1906.
It's title page reads, in
part:
A COMPENDIOUS DC
TIONARY of the English
Language. BY NOAH WEB
STER, Esq. Hartford,
and New-Haven. 1906.
A copy in fine condition is
worth roughly $35 to $50 at
retail, although the two
volume dictionary of 1928 is
in greater demand.
The "Compendious Die
tionary' was a trial effort
and lacked the authority of
its great successor. Thus it
is a less important work and
commands a smaller price.
All of which illustrates a
point often made in these

ance has a bearing on Its
price.
