Watch Footings FOUNDATION UNDERMINED. NO FOOTING- Farmers should always be at the alert to the danger of run off water washing away foot ings under foundations, partic ularly on outbuildings where such caution, normally, might not be exercised. When run off water washes away footings under foundations, the building settles. Reduced Grain Growing Brings Seed Hold Need Prospects of reduced grain-grow ing. including com and wheat in 1950 and following years should cause farmers to consider saving more grass and clover seed, says a statement from the college of agriculture. University of Kentuc ky. The seed, it was pointed out, will be needed for the sod crops that are to take the place of grain. The bureau of plant industry at Washington says that grain reduc tion will mean at least 25 per cent more grass and hay. Barren Land Reclaimable With Fertilizer, Know-how Under proper management, worn- out land can be converted into grass legume pasture capable of carrying one cow and a calf to each one and one-half to two acres. Three acres of good permanent and supplementary pasture will carry a cow and calf through the year. Principal requirements are fertili ser, willingness to grow something beside the immediate money crops and a knowledge of livestock. MIRROR 'True Mates' Of Your " " * Don't Exist MIND By Lawrence Gould Do “true mates” look alike? Answer: There are no such things as “true mates” in the sense of people who have been “made for each other," and the fact that a man and a woman are of the same physical type has no bearing on their chance of being happy if they marry. As a rule it is unwise to marry someone whose appear ance is unpleasant to you, but whether you are attracted to a person who looks like you or to one who is as different as possible depends upon your unconscious feelings and standards of b'eauty. "Physical affinity” is an exploded notion. Is classical mnsic good for mental patients? Answer: Different types of mu sic affect mental patients very dif ferently, report two psychiatrists from Warlingham Park Hospital, Surrey. England. Played to groups of patients, the musical classics roused a feeling of security and group cohesion, where “romantic” music tended to revive their indi vidual problems. But the best ef fect on patients, both in calming their disturbed emotions and in fostering group harmony came from familiar airs and folk songs —probably because these bring back happy memories of child hood. . Do some men crave to wear women’s clothing? Answer: Yes. Every so often I hear from a man who admits a compulsive urge to dress like a woman, either when alone at home or (if he dares) in public. Called “transvestitism,” this compara tively mild perversion is said by the psychoanalysts to express an unconscious desire on the man’s part to “identify himself” with a mother to whom he was overly de voted. The desire of girls or women to dress like men— which is much more common—is also essentially neurotic but less deeply rooted and involves no serious personality dis order.

Barton r WRITE FREQUENTLY about 1 psoriasis, the skin disease in which there are pearly white scales on slightly raised white patches of skin. On removing the scales with the fingernail the underlying spot bleeds slightly. These little spots or patches of scales may begin as tiny as peas and increase to the size of silver dollars. The little spots or patches may rim together and form large patches. They look like patches of mortar. While there is . a small amount of itching present, it is primarily the appearance of these unsightly patches on elbows, knees, and head that causes embarrass ment and distress of mind. While an attack may disappear, the disease is recurrent and up to the present, skin specialists state that they know of no cure, although sunshine usually causes temporary disappearance of patches. In previous days arsenic intern ally and a 5 per cent ammoniated mercury ointment externally, was routine treatment. Today cutting down on fat foods, the use of vita min B1 and various ointments, is the usual treatment. Of course var ious methods of treatment of psori asis have come and gone, some oi which still give good results in a few cases. However, as there is no special or specific treatment, there is no reason why new methods should not be tried. In the “Journal of the American Medical Association,” Drs. Harris Perlman and Irving L. Milberg, New York, state that their use of undecylenic acid with a few private cases of psoriasis, caused such “dramatic” improvement that they were prompted to use it in cases of psoriasis in patients of the New York skin and cancer unit. They have treated 41 cases to date. The undecylenic acid given by mouth in capsules had no toxic (poisonous) effects in 41 cases al though slight disturbance of the stomach occured in 19 of the 41 c^ses. These disturbances occured it the beginning of the treatment out disappeared within a few days even with continuance of the treat ment. Of the 41 patients 12 were improved, 15 somewhat improved, 10 unchanged, and three were worse. It is worth much to those with skins so sensitive to the sun they :armot go swimming that they can be desensitized by antihistaminic drugs. • • • One of the latest methods of find ing the actual condition of the liver cissues is biopsy—examination of a piece of living tissue removed from the body.

SPEAKS ^ ij^mTjJpj^^^Tnternahoniii" Uniforml Sunday School Lesaons Lesson for October 30, 1949 Dr. Foreman I T HURT Isaiah's patriotism, and his religion too, to see how fast his country was going down hill. Most of the troubles Isaiah saw are with us today. Wealthy women spending more and more on them selves; leaders who are irresponsible, self-seeking and in competent; poverty unprevented and uncared-for; drunk enness high and low. Isaiah, and other prophets as well, saw in the sin and drunkenness of the times the sign and symbol of national decay. To the careless, the selfish and the wild, to those who were “leaders” but were leading in the wrong di rection, Isaiah kept saying, in many different ways. Choose the best! • • • The Prophets’ Successors T HERE WAS a TIME when th*. church put most of her preach ing emphasis on individual religion: Get right with God! was the cry. The church of today has not by any means given up her emphasis on personal religion, but we are learn ing from the prophets what social righteousness means. The church in our time is the logical and actual successor to the prophet’s work. The church is doing more than ever to awaken the con science of society, in fact the church Itself has a duty to be the conscience of society. One of the problems about which our nation needs to be waked up is one that Isaiah and Jere miah faced, only we have It In a more desperate form. We call it alcoholism; they called It by an uglier, more suitable word: drunkenness. Even in those days drinking was a problem; it cut down the national health, wealth and wisdom. Nowadays it is worse because of two factors. One is the higher percentage of alcohol in bev erages such as whiskey, unknown in those days. The other factor is advertising. • • • Where Drunkards Start A gainst all this the church must keep saying and persuad ing people. Choose the Best! But it does comapartively little good to say this to the confirmed alcoholic. It makes more sense to say it to young people. For the sad feature of alcoholism is that it begins in the high schools. The Yale School of Alcohol Stud ies has collected evidence indica ting that two-thirds of all alcoholics begin drinking habits in the early high school years. A recent Gallup poll shows the greatest percentage of drinkers to be in the age group 21 to 39. Today, it is estimated, there are four million ^alcohol addicts or excessive drinkers who are in more or less con stant trouble with their fami lies and employers. Drunkenness costs Industry In America no less than one billion dollars a year, and has a lot to do with the break-up of homes and with crime generally. • • • Allied Youth S omething is being done to stop this, which you should know about. There is a movement known as Allied Youth, a national educational organization working in high schools all over the country. Its work is positive, not negative. It is not trying to pass laws or to bring back prohibition. What it does try to do—and it Is succeeding re markably well in many places—is to give young people a way of life (hat will enable them to meet social pressure for drinking without loss of “face.” Every Allied Youth post in a school has three aims: 1. To meet the social and recreational needs of young people. Every New Year’s Eve, for instance, when millions of Americans are getting sickly drunk, more than 6,000 young people gather in Detroit for the biggest dry party in America, sponsored by Allied Yonth. 2. To establish within the school a fellowship of young people who do not think it is necessary to drink to be smart. Such a group can change the attitude of an entire school. 3. To build a solid foundation of education for total abstinence. Es sentially, Allied Youth is saying to young people everywhere, “Choose the Best!” (Information about Allied Youth can be had by writing Allied Youth, 1709 M. Street N.W., Washington, D. C.)
