Ask Mrs. Manners—

Mrs. Manners: a MY HUSBAND and I get along just fine if we aren't together too long at a time or if we aren't in the kitchen together. He tries to tell me how to do things, I fly off the handle and tell him he is wrong. He smells of all the food I cook, 1 feel like he thinks it isn't clean enough for him to eat. : I am not well. I have got to have an operation in a couple of weeks. I feel like I have failed in some way. If you ean help, please do. NERVOUS WRECK, City. You'll be friendlier In your kitchen when you feel better, You eould tell you husband that he makes you nervous, but I wouldn't. He likes his home and wants to be a big part of It. Isn't that better than wondering where he might be st dinner-time? Smelling. food Isn't so bad—it might keep you from eating ting his appetite. Don’t ye fhe him and probably helps carry home, Coudri't you ask him nicely to cook a few meals and brag on | them? Some of his suggestions may be good. You could mention yard | fobs that keep him from the kitchen—but don’t overdo that, | Don't worry about being edgy when you're together toe much. Go

How Should Old People Be Treated?

1 WONDER if jou could give me some advice on how to treat old | people. My father lives with me and is 79 years old. My uncle also 1s | - ®t my home six months out of the year. His age is 81. ; | The saying is that old people get like children. I would liké to know | if this. is true or are they fust taking advantage of being old? If they do revert to being children I will treat them accordingly. But if they! Are just taking advantage of their age I would lke to know it. Your column is very good, MRS. W. B,, Indianapolis.

a Old age trails are forgetfulness, irresponsibility, childishness and bossiness. Elderly persons overcoming these tendencies ordinarily are | those who have kept up with the times, kept busy and kept their pride, Like children, aged persons will be demanding if they are success- | ful once. Can't you overlook trivial arguments? Of course you'll have to be firm. Keep your father and uncle active, and take them places.

Do All Marriage Laws Require Blood Tests?

AS MY GIRL FRIEND and I have had an argument I wish to ask your advice as I don’t think she can be right. She argues that a couple can get married in certain states without a .blood test.

For Increase in Aid

By JAMES M. HASWELL WASHINGTON, Oct, 20 News that a mililon children now are living on public aid in America highlights one of the most pitiable aspects of rising prices. People living on small incomes and on fixed ircomes are caught in a terrific price squeeze. High prices have been a chief cause for adding 15000 children to relief wolls in Florida, 8000 in Illinois, 6000 in Ohio — 350,000 throughout the nation in two years, Other reasons for this sensational increase in ajd to dependent chil-

from war jobs, and loss of servicemen's dependent allowances, according to Federal Security Administrator Oscar R. Ewing. Endure Hard Struggle For every family driven to seek public aid because of rising prices during the last two years, others with fixed incomes have maintained their self-supporting status by hard

‘had to economize. Some have eaten| less, some have gone without new! clothes, some have passed up vaca-| tion trips. But regardless of their! places in the economic scale, all! fixed-income folk have lived more! poorly. | Widows once well provided for by, insurance, pensioners and retired, folk, people living on bond interest and preferred stock dividends, school teachers, government work- | ers and thousands of similarly) placed persons are suffering from the 25 per cent rise in living costs since V-J Day. Disastrous for Aged Price rises don't bear too heavily on wage earners, businessmen or manufacturers whose incomes more or less keep pace with prices, But price rises are disastrous for aged, retired, dependent, and pensioned people who don’t share in rising incomes. The means of fixedincome people, whether they are rich investors or poor orphans, have {been reduced 25 per cent since the war ended. ?
