STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
BY Dr.. Peter J. Steincrohn

= Here is q profile of a sweet
man who has turned sour.
He is q middle-aged man
who is making life unbear-
able for his wife and chill
dren. What's the answer?
Here's her letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I hope
you can tell me what to do
about my husband. He is 81
and has become an entirely
different person.
He used to think there
wasn't anybody as good as
his wife and he loved the
children. There wasn't any
thing he wouldn't do for US.
But he has changed.
For the last two years he
seldom speaks a kind word
to any of us. He calls us apes,
idiots, clowns and everything
else. He is always criticiZing
me. He curses all the time.
He fuses because he has to
spend money on us.
I have a rheumatic heart
and can't go out and work.
All this, with trying to be a
good wife and housekeeper, is
about all I can stand.
I am aoout to collapse. I
know there must be some
thing wrong. He doesn't
drink, so that isn't q prob
lem. He threatens the chill
dren when they come to visit
and slaps me in their pres
enee. I don't know what to
do. I want my home put to-
gether. I want to have a
happy home with love. He
never used to be this way.
What is wrong now?-Mrs. x.
IT'S DIFFICULT to believe
that a nice man turns mean
for no reason. Having seen
similar examples of right
about-face in personality, I'd
guess that your husband is
i'll.
Therefore, the first thing
you must do is get him to a
doctor for a complete over
haul. I know that this will
take some doing, but unless
you manage it, I don't see
how you can expect improve
ment.
What is wrong? A good
diagnostician will find out.
At least, he'll be able to put
q label on 1t.
Whenever similar patients
have come to me, I have
wanted to rule out these
things first: Male climac-
teric (change of life) cerebral
atherosclerosis interference
with blood circulation in the
brain); brain tumor; some
chronic disease which blood
and spinal fluid tests might
reveal.
When q persons mean all
his life, that's one thing.
But when he actually changes
his spots, you can bet there's
hidden physical or emotional
sickness that needs dag
nosing and treating.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
no stones, but my doctor says
I have q mountaineering gall
bladder. I have had one at
tack of collie, with pain and
nausea and vomiting. I've
been advised to have an op-
Grafton, If I have another
attack. Is further trouble
likely without actual gall
stones?-Mrs. D.
IT'S POSSIBLE to have
gallstones for a long life
time without ever having an
attack of gladstone collie. On
the other hand, as in your
case, a mountaineering gall
bladder without stones can
give trouble and require
operation.
X-rays Of the gall blad-
der-especially those taken
after a fatty meal-show that
the gall bladder doesn't con-
tract as it should. We call
this a mountaineering gall
bladder. It is usually filled
with sludge and thick bile.
The walls Of the gall bladder
are chronically inflamed and
thickened. Keep to your diet
and hope for the best. But
remember that operation is
often necessary in the abb

homesteaders Cross River in Cable Gar

Several youngsters on the other side of a washed-out bridge on the Little Susitna River, are getting few extra days of vacation. Their parents have rigged a cable and cable car to get adults and older chil- dren across the stream, but are not permitting smaller children to ride in the rather hazardous mode of transportation.
 Meanwhile, plans are being made to transport an army style pontoon bridge from Fair banks to serve as temporary crossing until the bridge can be rebuilt. The crossing, locat- ed on the Edgerton-Parks Road off the Fishhook Road, was washed out in the Aug. 29 cloudburst.
 Residents hope to have the temporary bridge installed sometime Saturday.

Needle Kill
 Caused by Rust

In answer to inquiries about needle-kill on spruce trees, State Forester A. Earl Plourde has stated that this condition is caused by spruce needle rust.
 The life cycle of this disease requires that certain phases be completed in the foliage of an alternate host plant; hence, this needle rust infects both spruce and Laborador tea, the forester said. Mortality is de- termined by the degree of in- lection on individual trees and humid conditions are favorable to the spread of this disease.
 General control measures are economically impractical at the present time, but control for individual ornamentals is feasible, according to Plourde. Recomemnded control is spray ing of infected trees with a good commercial fungicide at two week periods from the time when new tree growth ap- pears until the middle of July.

Aug. 29 Downpour Sets Valley Record

The cloudburst on Wednes- day noon, Aug. 29, set a rec ord, according to C. Ivan Bran ton, agricultural engineer, and Neil Michaelson, soil scientist, both with the staff of the Alas ka Agricultural Experiment Station.
 The downpour was the high est rate of precipitation ever recorded here, dumping 2.l in- ches of rain per hour for a four minute period.
 The next highest rate of pre- cipitation was recorded on Aug. 6, 1859. when a combination hail and rain storm measured .93 inches per hour for a 45- minute period.
 Branton and Michaelson keep these records in conjunc- tion with irrigation studies con ducted at the experiment sta ton.

FUEL CONTRACT GOES TO MRAK

Chugach Electric Association yesterday announced the award for furnishing coal fuel to the Knik Arm power plant The award was made at $7 per ton, fob mine, to the Mrak Coal Go. in Palmer.

 Any person over sixteen years of age must carry mig ratory bird hunting stamp tor duck stamp) when hunting waterfowl. A stamp should be signed across the fact with the bearers name.
 A better than average hatch of ducks and geese in the Cook Inlet area indicates good hunting season, a game depart ment spokesman said. He point ed out that length of season is regulated by the weather, and that last year hunting was just about over by mid-October. In some years, however, hunt ing has been excellent through the first week in November.

 He hammered home the point that construction of Brad ley would destroy a source of power proven to be less expen- sive. Mine mouth plants at Sut- ton could deliver power in the Anchorage area at the rate of 8.9 mills per kilowatt hour, while power from Bradley would cost at least 10.7. He compared the initial cost of construction (about $60,000, ,000 for Bradley, less than $20, ,0O0,- 900 for the mine-mouth plants),
