way Of stoking up energy for
being the breadwinner the
coming week."
What about wives? They
can't laZe around the house
over the week end. There's
always dusting, sweeping,
cooking and many other Jobs
that must be done every day
Of the week.
You never say a woman
has the right to do nothing
but sit and relax with a news
paper if that's what she
wants to do. It's pure laziness
when a man wants to do
nothing around the house.
Grass needs cutting, rooms
need painting, to mention
just a few Of the things a
man needs to take care of
in order to keep a house in
good condition. A man works
eight hours a day on his Job
and sleeps eight hours q
night. Is he supposed to loaf
the other eight hours?
I say no, ana so do other
wives. That would dull his
mind as well as his body.
Mrs. o., Washington, d. C.
1T is DIFFICULT to re-
sist the temptation not to
say anything. I'd like to
squirm out Of it, as I dislike
arguments. But I would be
spineless If I ran up the white
flag and left all my lazy
brethren in the lurch.
Let me tell you about an
other woman. Mrs. o. She
is married to a man who
can't sit still. He drags her
around on hunting and fish
ing trips, goes mountain
climbing. plays tennis and
golf until she is so exhausted
she can't stand up.
Help! Please talk to him."
she says whenever she sees
me.
Mrs. o., you may be better
off than you realize.
II have had four minor
and two major strokes in the
past several years." writes
Mr.. C. Of Michigan. Incl
dentally, I am now in per-
feet health and have no
damaging effects although I
was slightly paralyzed and
had a speech defect.
my question is about the
use Of tobacco and alcohol.
My five doctors can't agree
at all. One says smoke, but
no alcohol. Another says
some alcohol but no tobacco.
II smoke several light cigars
q day and take no more than
five ounces Of whisky-both
to my considerable enjoy
ment. I am &c."
I LIKE YOUR optimistic
outlook in the face Of all the
trouble you have had during
the past few years. Also your
courage in asking for a sixth
medical opinion.
I can only say what I'd tell
a patient in similar circum-
stances. If you enjoy alcohol
and tobacco so much, I won't
be the one to say stop" But
I'd qualify my advice. I think.
you are taking too much al
cohol and smoking more than
you should. Let your upper
limit Of liquor intake be two
ounces. And take no more
than three cigars a dav
II you can't keep within
this limitation, then better
give up all alcohol and to-
bacco. I'd hate to see you
stop altogether. You deserve
some enjoyment after all
you've been through.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Though you may never have
heard Of a person being aller-
gic to others, I'd like to sug-
gest that I have strong con-
victions that it is possible.
When I'm with some people
no longer than a few minutes
I actually break out into
