Get Husband Interested In His Problem, Wife Is Told.

Bring your problems up for discussion in this column, Jane Jordan will help you by her answers to your questions,

EAR JANE JORDAN-—I suppose you get lots of letters from women whose husbands are drunkards. 1 realize, as you have told others, that it is an affliction and should be treated as an illness, but I'm really stumped. I've stuck with my husband through everything, unemployment, sickness, debt, all caused directly or indirectly from drunken sprees. We've been married five years and he gets worse all the time. The last six months have been the worst for he is getting brutal and I'm afraid of him. Before I always could coax him to go to sleep but now he seems to have it in for me whenever he is like that. Now comes the last straw, He has started to take out pieces of furniture, our radio, and selling them for money to buy whisky. Last week he came to the place where I work and caused a scene. I nearly lost my job on account of it, and I will if it happens again. People tell me I am foclish to put up with him but he has no one but me to look out for him, and then I love him. I can't understand why I do myself but it is there and I can't fight it down. I've tried everything but going to the priest. I'm not a Catholic but my husband is. I don’t suppose you can help me much but it is a relief to tell someone. Thanks for reading my letter, anyway. DEE. ” ANSWER—I am not

could persuade him to seek help from a psychiatrist. The morning | after a spree the drinker usually suffers from self-disgust and selfdepreciation. I should think that this would be the logical time to talk to him about taking steps to- | ward a eure. Often a man drinks to overcome an inexplainable dread. The bout usually is preceded by a period of depression, of restlessness and agitation. When in the grip of anxiety the victim cannot settle down to work. Sometimes he will wander about the streets or away from home until the feeling becomes so unbearable that he drinks to induce forgetfulness. The drink habit always is traceable to a serious mental conflict unknown or half-known to the patient. He is at odds with himself, his life, his family, often with society as a whole. Unbidden impulses torment him. The fact that vour husband is getting brutal when drunk is significant. When sober he Is able to suppress the conduct which he indulges when drunk. Causes for the trouble are various and only can be unearthed by an expert, Wounded pride sometimes impells a person to restore his lost self-esteem temporarily in drink. The boastful drinker who belittles others is common enough. A feeling of loneliness and a craving for love ix one of the psychic roots of alcoholism. Some drinkers seek company during sprees, are extremely talkative and make themselves ridiculous with a maudlin display of affection. A lofty personality ideal which the patient is unable to attain in fact is one of the painful conflicts which upset the equilibrium. The drunken spree affords an escape from responsible reality into a world of irresponsible fantasy. I have mentioned only a few of the simpler causes for drinking. The others belong to the clinic and not to the column. If these few give you a clue to the problem, it may be that you ean interest your husband into searching further for other causes with a view to getting help from someone equipped to re-edu-cate him in more acceptable ways of dealing with his troubles. At least you can try. JANE JORDAN.

In-Between Snacks Give Children Joy

But Watch What They Eat at Play, Writer Warns Mothers.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

During vacation, children with time on their hands try to fill the vacuum with food. The mecca of their thoughts is the treat store on the corner, and their idea of play is a “party” with snicksnacks mother sends out. Bites from the neighbor children’s cookies, the tantalizing boxes nf candy and nuts left over from mother’s party—well, you see how it goes. A nibble here and a nibble there, makes ‘a nibble everywhere, Let us look into these small junkets into goody land. Actually I do not think that it matters whether children eat between meals or not. And besides, what would life be without tidbits and candy? Proper In-Between Snacks

However, you can't do that to your stomach all summer, day after day—and smile. If you get a tooth trained to eat sweets, Or SOurs, either, to the exclusion of good soup and peas and milk and eggs, it's just too bad. After a meal is the best time for sweets. Next to that, any time | that leaves a space of two hours be- | fore the next meal. “But they get so hungry. They can't wait,” you say. This is true. Many children don't eat enough at one meal to keep a | bird alive, and to train them to | stretch their stomachs,

Best Means of Insomnia Cure

Normal Functioning of Kidneys Vital to Health;

Disease May

Signs of Albumin Are Among First Indications That Warn of Deterioration of These Organs; Examinations Urged.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Fditor American Medical Assoctation Journal, Most of the diseases of the kidney are insidious in their beginning. The inflammation which may eventually destroy life comes so gradually | that the person aftected may be unconscious of the fact that anything

is wrong.

However, even in the very earliest stages, the disease may be detected by a simple examination of the urine that is part of every examination

Be Insidious

Diseases of the kidney rank high among the causes of death simply because we live longer now than human beings used to live. Therefore, our vital organs gradually break down under the duration and strain of living. Among these organs the kidneys are of great importance. Fortunately we have two kidneys. One or even a portion of one may keep the human being alive for a considerable period of time. An examination of students entering one of the great universities showed that 5 per cent of them already had signs in the urine of changes which indicated the beginning of disturbances of the kidney, Chief among the signs of a beginning disturbance is the presence of protein substance called albumin in the urine without any

| definite inflammation in the kid-

ney. However, it is not well to gamble on the fact that the pres-

although | ing, especially by those who go ence of albumin is just a matter

the in-between lunch is permissible, but never close to meals. Milk Cuts Appetite Milk digests slowly always, milk as a holdover will also chase appetite if drunk during these

same two hours before a meal. In-|

deed, any snacks should be spaced so as not to interfere with appetite. By and large, though, to go back to heterogeneous nibbling, the tendency in summer is to clutter the stomach with strange mixtures. Taken singly, few of the tasty treats are harmful, but to eat at any and all hours, and tickle the palate with things too sweet, too sour, too cold or too spicy, all thrown together, not only interferes with wholesome appetites for regular meals, but establishes habit and upsets dispositions.

Candy, pure, mind you, certainly has its place, but nothing should be too rich, too mixed, or too onesided, in the way of food.

Mr. Ephraim goes on to mention the fact that, in many laboratory experiments on the effects of prolonged wakefulness, staying awake could be accomplished only through continnal muscular activity. The logical conclusion, therefore, is that if you learn to relax your muscles at will, you will go to sleep at will, “Fatigue promotes sleep because it induces relaxation,” the author continues in this enlightening, chapter. “For this reason, a brief walk at night often helps. Overfatigue, on the other hand, may have quite the contrary effect.

Your body is a closely linked system of organs and tissues. The heart, the circulation of the blood and the kidneys constitute a system known as the cardiovascular renal system. The normal functioning of this system is absolutely vital to good health. A disturbance of any one part is likely to be veflected in the other two parts. If the heart is weak, the circulation of the blood will be poor and the activity of the kidneys may be insufficient, If the kidneys fail to eliminate waste products satisfactorily, these collect in the body and have a most unfavorable action on the circuiation of the blood and on the heart.
