FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

EXPLANATION: Million
aire Publisher Bernarr Mac
Fadden was a bug on phySi-
cal culture. He attributed his
financial success to his phys
ical fitness.
On one occasion, MacFad-
den came upon one Of his
editors when the latter was
reading Shakespeare. Mac
Fadden picked up the book.
which had q portrait Of the
playwright on the cover.
Don't you think you
should be reading something
more modernP" he suggested.
Shakespeare is always
modern" said the editor. DO
you realize that If he were
writing today. he would be
one of the richest men in
the world? His royalties from
the stage. movies and televi-
sion would make him q mil
lionaire many times over"
That kind of money i'm
pressed even Mac Fadden. He
took a closer look at the
portrait.
He must have been in
pretty good physical condi-
tion," he commented.

the other in about six
months. If both are operated
on at one time there is
greater danger that the her
MAS will recur.
However, If you have two
indirect inguinal hernias
your doctor will make the
diagnosis) the surgeon can
safely do the job at one and
the same time. This is also
true If there is a large d.
rect on one side and q small
indirect hernia on the other.
I know you'd like to get
the whole thing over with
at once. But better agree
with your doctors decision

PoIyunsoturoted Fats
By DR.. PETER }. sIEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is 1t
true that one can eat all
the usual fats one Is ac-
customed to. If he adds
polyunsaturated fats to his
diet? Will you mention some
of the medicines that are
effective?-Mr. T., Florida.
THERE is a faulty mis-
conception abroad in the
land about polyunsaturated
fats (soybean oil. peanut oil,
corn oil, cottonseed oil and
safflower oiD. It is true that
they may help lower choles-
terol. but you must simula-
taneously cut down on the
regular fats (cream, fatty
meats, butter, etc.. Other
wise, you will be trying to
put out the fire with water
on the one hand and adding
gasoline with the other.
AS to medicines that are
effective, what may work for
one won't for his neighbor.
Some Of the drugs used are
NICOTINE acid. triparanol
(MER 29), dextrothyroxine,
heparin, and sistosterols.
Some Of these have dis
agreeable side effects
Therefore never take them
without medical supervision.
Color blindness Is much
less frequent in women than
in men.
Mr.. T., California, says: I
had q coronary thrombosis
q few months ago. I used
to smoke at least two packs
a day. My family doctor
says: Use your own judg-
ment" and the heart spe-
cialist says: "If it makes you
feel any better go ahead and
smoke, but not too much"
IDEALLY, no smoking!
However, If you can really
limit yourself to six smokes
q day, I might go along
with that.
-
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have an inguinal hernia on
each side. I'd like them re-
paired. Can I have the whole
thing taken care of at the
same time?-Mr. E., TenneS-
see.
YOUR DOCTOR will have
to make the decision. Most
surgeons believe that when
a patient has two large di-
rect inguinal herniaS 1t IL
better to repair only one
side; and then operate on

pillow, and. in sleep, touch
the lid Of the eye.
The eye will inflame and
eyelashes fall out. The
blurriness Is mild and
scratchy. DR.. Berliner gave
me two prescriptions: One
for a special shampoo; the
other a cortisone-base drug
to be used as eye drops. 1t
required time to eliminate
the condition, but it was
worth 1t.
Some people are blinded
by accident; some by dia-
betes; some by cataracts;
some by time alone; some
by glaucoma. The last one
is the worst offender. It is
slow, insidious, and the Wis
ion fails so slowly that the
victim seldom realizes 1t un-
til it Is too late.
Fluid ducts in the eyes
close tight. The surface of
the eye needs tears. The
eyeballs harden. Vision be-
gins to fade a tiny bit at q
time. 1t can be cured by
surgery-a. little wedge is cut
into the duct-but most
. patients do not get to the
ophthalmologist in time. Too

few dollars by going to an
optician for new glasses.

Is simple.

There is an aura of
pleasant enthusiasm about
the office. The doctor is
short and middle-aged, but
he moves from one ex-
aiming room to the next
swiftly, never skidding on
the turns. Nurses swish by
in crepe-soled shoes and
starched whites; an old man
with a white patch over one
eye studies the floor with
the good one.
The busy man is DR..
Milton Berliner, ophthalmo-
logist and chief of surgery
at the New York Eye and
Ear Infirmary. We met by
accident. I had been both
cred, for months, with blurry
vision at night and early in
the morning. I was sure that
1t was nothing more than
that most common OF eye
ailments, subacute con-
junctivitiS, but who can be
certain?
so I DID what I always
do-postpone going to a
doctor. One evening I was
sitting in a New York hotel,
reading and blinking the
blurriness away, when I be
came tired Of postponing. I
phoned the Medical Arts
Building and asked the oper-
ator II she knew q good

throughout the western
world.
Although adoption is re-
ferred to in the Old Testa-
ment and was a common
practice in ancient Greece
and Rome, legal adoption in
the current sense is almost
entirely q goth century de-
velopment. Adoption had le-
gal status in some American
States as early as 1851, but
present-day law and prac-
tice are. the products Of the
last half century.
Laws governing adoption
very widely from State to
State and from country to
country. In almost every
case, in America and abroad,
the consent Of the natural
parent, where it can be OBJ
tained. is necessary: and in
every State except Louisiana,
Vermont and South Carolina,
the child. II Of an age to
understand, must also con-
sent. In many States and
some foreign countries, most
of all Of the legal require
mentS are waived in the case
OF blood relatives.
Fundamental Theory
Every current adoption
law is based on one funda-
mental theory. that the well
fare Of the child must be
the paramount consideration.
1t is almost the universal
practice for the Judge to give
heavy weight TO such back
ground factors as race and
religion, even when there Is
no statutory provision.
For the same reason. courts
both here and in other coun-
tries have come to rely in
creaSingly on the recommen-
dationS Of social agencies,
private or public. for guild
ance. Few adoptionS recon-
mended by these agencies are
turned down. Fewer by far
are legal = adoptions when
such an agency recommends
against them.
1t Is with the sometimes
seemingly capricious stand
ards of the agencies that
frustrated would-be adopters
quarrel most bitterly. The
fact that a turn-down by
one agency makes it prac-
tically impossible to get ap-
proval from another sends
many people shopping
in the black market.

DEAR ABBY: If they ever

He isn't just "thrifty"-he is
downright cheap! I worked

everything for the baby. And
my husband (the Sport)

Of wine and I had to give
him the dollar back.
He makes good money, but
he saves it all. Yet he ex-
poets me to spend mine for
family living expenses. He
has over $4,000 in the bank
and I have to beg him to
keep his insurance premiums
paid up. I feel like a work.

DEAR ABBY: Our daugh-
ter is planning her wedding
and we are having a terrible
time with her. She made up
her mind that she wants
only blue-eyed blonds for her
bridesmaids. She has three
cousins with whom she was
always very close. but only
one Of them is a blue-eyed
blond, so she wants only that
one for a bridesmaid. (The
other two she plans just to
invite to the wedding) She
has asked three girl friends
whom she hardly knows to
be the other bridesmaids.
(All are blue-eyed blonds.)
Our daughter is q brown
eyed brunette and thinks the
contrast will be striking. Isn't
this a silly way to select
bridesmaids? How can we
reach her? She is 81 and very
strong-minded.
UPSET MOTHER.

StitutionS or foster homes.
Who can adopt a child?

say almost anybody" Talk
to some would-be adopters
who have been turned down
for reasons that are mex
plicabfe to them and they
will say almost nobody"
What are an abandoned or
unwanted child'S chances of
finding a homer It depends.
Jewish, Catholic and white
Protestant children under 10
years Of age and in good
health are almost certain to
be adopted
Worldwide Problem
Negro Protestant children
and those Of mixed ancestry
have a tough time. Physi-
cally handicapped or mentally
retarded children, who per-
haps need loving care most
Of all, have almost no
chance. Neither do children
in their teens or those who
have spent extended periods
In institutions or in foster
homes,
This paradoxical situation
children who can't fin d
homes and would-be par
ents" who are refused, exists
