Family Rift Held Unfair to Children

Divorce May Be Better For All, Jane Tells Doubtful Wife.

Tt always helps fo tell your problems fo a sympathetic listener. Jane Jordan

will give your questions careful thought | i

and answer them in this celumn.

EAR JANE JORDAN—For 16 years I have met the fluctuations of my married life with the same degree of consistency, although there have been times when I was

tempted to give up the effort of liv- | ing with 2a man whose fancy for |

women is constantly roving. I have forgiven so many times that I can no longer count the number, although it has been terribly humiliating to me to have many others know what an incurable philanderer my husband is. I have endured it all because I have felt ihat it is essential to keep the home together for the sake of the children. Now, however, my children are almost grown and I am faced with the knowledge that when they go to college I'll be living with a man who no longer takes the trouble to speak to me. The complete estrangement has developed only in the last year and 1 am finding it almost too much to go on living under these conditions. Do you think that having gone this Jong I should continue to live under my husband’s roof, or should I free my self now and regain a measure of my self-respect DOUBTFUL. » ®n » ANSWER—I do not see why vou feel compelled to live with a man who is not even interested enough to observe the amenities. Society always tries to hold a bludgeon over ihe head of a woman by telling her that it is for the good of the children to hold the home together at any sacrifice to herself, but it is not always true. The only value te children of {wo parents living in the same house together lies in the love and harmony between them. When it does not exist, the disharmony has a worse effect on the children than divorce, Even when there is no actual quarreling, the estrangement is keenly felt by the children who consciously or unconsciously take sides with one parent or the other.” To live in unhappy intimacy with a

man is like wearing a strait-jacket | which prevents growth in any di- |

rection. The tension that exists in

such a home is not a healthy at- |

mosphere for anybody to breathe.

The woman who lacks the courage | and character to break such a situ- |

ation falls into a feeling of inferiority. It is better for her to digest the experience of humiliating defeat and reorganize her life on some other basis. 1 do not say that the situation between you and your husband can-

not be corrected, for I do not know. | 1 do know that nothing can be ac- |

complished without the man’s co-

operation. If he isn't interested in making the attempt, there is no hope. Dear Jane Jordan—I_ am a girl]

Faulty Diet Is Cause of Eye Trouble

Lack of Vitamin A May Result in ‘Night Blindness.’

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal In the retina of the eye there is a pigment called visual purple. When the eyes are used in a bright light, this visual purple constantly is being bleached. This occurs par=ticularly for example, in case of snow blindness and also when one drives in bright sunlight in the sumer or when one looks out over a sunlit body of water.

In Newfoundland, the fishermen suffer particularly with a loss of visual purple because of their work on the ocean in the sun. Moreover, the diet of these fishermen is likely to be deficient in vitamin A, because they live in winter on a diet containing mostly white flour, preserved meats, fish, and similar substances without adequate vitamin A. Such a diet also may be deficient in fresh fruits, vegetables, butter, or even in the fish liver oils which are fairly rich in this vitamin.

Night Blindness Symptom

One of the early symptoms of a deficiency of vitamin A is night blindness. When one has night blindness, he can see fairly well in a bright light but cannot see well in the dark. For years, the Newfoundland fishermen have known they could fight night blindness by eating the livers of the cod or of the seagull. If, however, the person with night blindness does not take a sufficient amount of vitamin A, he later will develop an advanced form of inflammation of the eyes which includes swelling of the eyelids, and dryness and an inflamed condition of the inner surface. Moreover, the germs which cause pus readily attack the tissues and the eyes become severely infected. This condition is known as Xxerophthalmia. In xerophthalmia also, tear glands are unable to produce the amount of tears ncessary to keep the eyes well moistened. A person who geis a amount of vitamin A in the diet can resist invasion of the germs should the eye become irritated, bul when there is lack of this vitamin, the germs invade readily. Other Results Noted Other conditions have from time to time been connected with a deficiency of vitamin A in the diet. For instance, it has been asserted that lack of vitamin A in the diet results in the formation of stones in the kidneys and in the bladder. A deficiency of vitamin A is sometimes manifested by an inflammation of the skin with dryness, scaling and pigmentation. It has been said that women who have a deficiency of vitamin A may be more likely to become infected in childbirth. However, all of

Solution to Previous Problem

By W. E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary

HIS is the 12th and last of a series of articles based on the “Standardized Code of Contract Bridge Bidding,” a new book designed to show how expert practice has practically standardized bidding methods.

The object of this code is to focus attention on standard, sound modern bidding tactics as contrasted with methods now considered obsolete.

Assurance has been there will be no change in this code for at least five years. As a matter of fact, bidding has been developed and largely standardized by changes developed at the card table itself, and I feel sure that we have not yet reached perfection. However, I want to compliment

is to add extra vitamin A containing foods to the diet. This may be accomplished by including milk, butter, eggs, and fresh vegetables, particularly those containing the yellow pigment called carotene, the substance from which the body forms vitamin A. The substance richest A is halibut liver oil. Among the foods which are rich in carotene are yellow turnips, sweet potatoes, peas. The white varieties of vegetables do not supply much vitamin A. Green leaves of vegetables of all kinds contain carotene. which, however, is masked by the green chlorophyl.

Best Permanent Improved When Hair Is Healthy

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Writer

To counteract the drying effects on the hair of overdose of sunshine try weekly hot oil treatments and begin right away to brush vigorously for at least ten minutes every night. In a few weeks you'll be considering a new fall permanent, and you might as well realize that permanent waves are twice as satisfactory if hair is in proper condition. In other words, it ought to be shiny, healthy and free from dandruff. The night before you intend to shampoo, brush hair carefully, cover head with a thick towel which has been dipped in very hot water and wrung quite dry. This warms the scalp and makes it absorb oil more readily. Now part hair in sections and, using a tiny cotton pad, cover every inch of scalp with warm olive oil. If ends are dry and brittle, oil them too. Pin a towel around your head and leave the oil on all night.

Next day, shampoo in the usual manner. Brush Cures Dandruff Persistent brushing will cure a

mild case of dandruff, and it tends to bring out the natural oils in the hair, of course. A bit of massage helps, too. Simply place elbows on a table, resting head in hands, then manipulate and gently pinch scalp. Be sure to move scalp—not fingertips. It’s a good idea to massage in this manner after hot oil has been applied. Always use a liquid shampoo and be sure to rinse four or five times, preferably with a small hand spray. Gray-haired women who wish to make their gray locks snowy white can add a little bluing to the final rinsing water. It is best, however, to consult a reputable hairdresser before atempting this at home. After he has examined your scalp and hair, he can tell you exactly how much bluing to use. Incidentally, if the men in your family are bothered with dandruff or seem to be getting slightly bald, do try to persuade them to stop soaking their heads in water under the shower and wetting their hair before each combing. Get them small, black mannish-looking shower caps and advise special scalp tonic instead of water for the combing process. Furthermore, the tonic ought to be poured on, then massaged in briskly. Friction and. manipulation of the scalp will eliminate dry cuticle and white flakes of dandruff which often are scattered on

their collars and shoulders. from which the body forms vitamin A. Moverover, there are prepared concentrates exceedingly rich in

vitamin A, as well as carotene, which may be taken to enhance the vitamin A content of foods.

Family Care Never Easy, Parent Told

Mother Must Not Expect To Find Book Conditions, Writer Says.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“When I read articles on ochild training, I get dreadfully discouraged,” confesed a young mother, “I picture a sort of place where every-

thing is under control, where push buttons run the machinery and the children move on tracks. “According to writers on care and guidance, everything must be perfect. I think they build up dream houses in their minds, and dream children, too. “My house is small; I never have enough of everything to keep them dressed well; I cah’t run a perfect schedule, because if I'm up through the night I have to sleep mornings: the youngsters all seem to be either naughty or sick at the same time, and it's all I can do to keep my head above water and my nerves from ruin.” “You have plenty of company, my dear,” I assured her. “I have the same phobia about a cookbook, or one on furnishing beautiful houses, or a handbook on gardening. I am forever comparing what I have and what I can do with pictured standards completely beyond my reach. Sisters Under the Skin

“And I used to feel the same ine feriority about my little family, There were only one or two sketchy

books then on child-care and feeding, and none on psychology. Just the same, I've fired my ‘guide’ across the room many a time and cried, ‘It's impossible. I do the best I can. What does that writer expect of a woman with only two hands? » “Don’t you feel that way now?” she seemed surprised. “Absolutely. In fact, T feel it so deeply that I seldom write an article without breathing a silent prayer that it may help without discoruaging too many. My hope is to correct a bad situation here and there and help children by opening the par= ents’ eyes to certain possibilities or dangers, “But always I see the rumpled beds to be made, the kitchen with

{its stove and sink doing everlast-

ing service, the children tearing up the house. I see them stamping in covered with snow or mud, or have ing tantrums, or quarreling; and the mother making a daily path through all this chaos, trying to preserve her health and disposition at the same time. I never think of any home as a laboratory to work out experiments in guidance.”

Followed or Discarded

“But you write that way.” “Toward standard, that is all. Everything we do should have some star to move toward. And I believe that once the mother begins to understand the reasons behind a child's acts and behavior, she may be able to remedy in a day that which might continue to worry her for years.” “Then you don’t expect mothers to do all that the books are preaching?” ~ “There never was a child specialist, and never will be, who could do one-tenth of the things he moralizes on in the quiet of his study. The way for you to read any book, or article, is to be as ready to discard it, with a clear conscience. as to use it. With the obsession removed, you may be more encouraged and lose a very natural feeling of antagonism.” “TI feel better already,” she dee clared. “I'll just muddle on through.” “Yes, just muddle through.” (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc)
