'Green Thumbs'?
Of Your
IB BB B3
Some Have Them
MIND
By Lawrence Gould
Have some people “green thumbs”?
Answer: Yes. Apparently some
men and women can make almost
any plant grow, even indoors,
while others have no “luck” what
soever. I suggest the reason may
be that the owner of the “green
thumb” is relaxed and confident
and so can do the right thing at
[the right time, while the unsuc-
jcessful person is either unconscious
ly indifferent or over-anxious, so
he neglects his plants or gives
them too much water, air and fer
tilizer. Although the same people
may not have both gifts, the art of
“ra’sing children” is no different
Can bodily pain save you
mental anguish?
Answer: Yes, ' writes Dr. H.
Waldo Bird in the Mental Hygiene
Bulletin, Detroit. Quite without
conscious intention, you may de
velop a painful illness to avoid a
situation that Involves unbear
able anxiety and tension. Dr.
Bird tells of an office worker who
suffered from severe headaches
and blurred vision each year when
the time came to prepare an an
nual report for an exacting em
ployer, and an otherwise well
schoolboy who could not leave his
home on the morning of a certain
examination because he trembled
and vomited recurrently.
Do new ideas require new
words?
Answer: Yes, says Robert
Thouless in the British Journal of
Psychology. Trying to state a new
scientific theory in words that are
already in use has the disadvan
tage that the same word may have
several meanings and may con
vey “emotional attitudes” that
have no place in a scientific state
ment. The scientist should stick
to a “purely technical vocabu
lary,” even though it will be unin
telligible to the lawman. (But
eventually someone must “trans
late” the new ideas into familiar
words and make them part of
human knowledge.)

Preparation tor Migraine Available
By Dr. James W. Barton
I WRITE from time to time about
migraine (one-sided headache)
which is so often accompanied by
nausea and vomiting. It is most
often found in those who work hard
mentally and physically, are over-
conscientious and often overam-
bitious. '
Some years ago, Dr. Mary O’Sulli
van reported a large number of
eases in which ergotamine tartrate
<gynergen) was unusually success-
•ftil Previous treatment had been a
few days rest in a quiet, darkened
room. The breathing in of pure
oxygen, suggested by Dr. Walter
Alvarez, Mayo Clinic, helped many
cases. However, while the usual
treatment today is ergotamine tar
trate, as some patients have some
side reactions therefrom, a prepara
tion in which caffein is added to
ergotamine tartrate is now avail
able.
In Journal of the Missouri State
Medical Association, Dr. Robert E.
Ryan, St Louis, reports his results
with a preparation known as cafer-
gone containing 1 mg. of ergota
mine tartrate and 100 mg. caffein.
It is manufactured in sugar-coated
tablet form. It is now used to pre
vent or shorten the length of the
migraine attack or headachb caused
by too much histamine in the sys
tem. However, to obtain the best
results, it must be used at the very
onset of the attack. Two tablets
were found to be the best average
dose.
Of 201 cases, 65 per cent obtained
excellent results; 14 per cent good
results; 11 per cent experienced
toxic (poisonous) symptoms which
consisted of nausea and abdominal
cramps.
It is an excellent preparation to
Vise In aborting or shortening length
of attacks of migraine and cephalal
gia (headache) due to histamine
for which so many new drugs (anti
histamines) are now being man
ufactured by various drug manu
facturers. However, Dr. Ryan does
not claim that cafergone is a sure
cure for these types of headaches.

There la no better way for a
man of wealth to help his fellow
men than by supporting a research
foundation.
Lord Chesterfield said that an
attack of indigestion, a sleepless
night and a rainy morning can
make a coward of a man who might
be a hero.

Antabuse taken after alcohol has
been taken causes such nausea and
vomiting that the alcoholic would
sooner do without alcohol than suf

Stimulating Idea
Seth Myers, of Pennsylvania, has
come up with a challenging idea
for American sportsmen and one
which may have considerably more
merit than first appears. Seth
writes:
\
“The state of Pennsylvania, or
any other state where good hunt
ing is enjoyed, has within its boun
daries, many thousands of expert
marksmen. They are mostly, self
trained hunters, having received
little or no special training in the
handling of firearms. They are,
however, fast and sure in their
shooting because both qualifications
are necessary in bringing down the
fleet footed animals they hunt.
“In America, there are perhaps,
20 million of these men. The major
ity are older than those taken into
the armed services to fight the warr
but not too old to serve in good
stead on the home front. They could
deal severe punishment to a possi
ble parachuted enemy in this coun
try.
“During World War I there wa*
the John M. Phillips Shotgun Brig
ade with the hunters organized and
trained for action against sabotage.
“When World War 11 came, the
hunters vi(ere enlisted in a special
auxiliary known as Minutemen.
They were carefully selected to
make certain that fifth column
members did not sneak in. They
W’ere given special training which
qualified them to meet any emer
gency that would develop.
“Armed with their own pet guns
and able to do expert shooting they
would have dished out severe pun
ishment to the enemy bent on sabo
tage. With the knowledge of sign
reading in the forest, extremely
little activity could go on without
being discovered in time to prevent
sabotage.
“Should a World War III come,
it is far more likely the enemy will
be here in great numbers. We have
reason to believe they are already
in our midst. They may be in much
greater numbers than we suspect.
“We must be ready to take care
of them when the time comes. It
is not too early to start organ
izing to meet this unseen enemy.
Every state should organize its ex
pert outdoorsmen into a dependable
war time home front guard. There
are many leaders who are well
qualified to do it.
“The important key to the whole
plan would be to make sure that
all hands were true Americans, and
knew exactly what to do with those
who proved to be enemies. If every
true American hunter and farmer
will d£ this, we need not worry
about the slinking enemy we know
is already in our home ranks, work
ing day and night to ruin our form
of government.”

“Rooster Fish”
Dick Miller, executive vice-
president of the Langely cor
poration, is shown with a “roost
er fish” caught on a recent field-
testing trip to Las Cruces, L*

cies, ope of the ocean’s great
fighters and acrobats and ordi

Put cranberries, orange, apple

until filling is set and crust nicely
browned.
Casting Lines
In buying a casting line, many
fishermen think only of strength.
Without thought, they assume that
a line should test twenty or thirty
pounds to be safe. Tackle salesmen
often encourage this belief because
they want to be safe, too. They
don’t want to take the squawk from
an irate angler who broke his line
on the “biggest fish I ever caught.”
But the plain truth is that no such
strength is necessary in a line, for
trout seldom break a 20-lb. line.
LYNN SAYS:
Make These Dishes
For Hearty Satisfaction
Save that leftover waffle batter
for good supper dishes. Add bits of
fried bacon to the batter. Serve the
waffles with green peas in cream
sauce.
Make your leftover ham into a.
meat loaf mixture and bake in a
square pan for a change. Top the
loaf with peaches which have been
brushed with melted fat and sprin
kled with brown sugar. Serve in
squares.
Add some berries to your canned
apple sauce for a colorful toucb
and serve as a relish or dessert
with cookies.
A fluffy nest of mashed potatoes
is nice to serve with creamed sal
mon or dried beef to which a few
leftover green peas have been add
ed for color.
Corn pudding and scalloped pota
toes make an excellent supper dish
if you add bits of leftover ham,
smoked butt or Canadian bacon to
the vegetable in the casserole be
fore baking.

Life is a Fight
■PHE TRUTH of the business is
that life, when a man takes it
seriously, is a fight. It is a war
between your best and your worst
self. Your two other-selves are there
every moment, like ghosts, or rath
er like a bright angel and a dark
'one. J
It is always possible to be
come a better man than yon
are; also, alas, It is possible to
become far worse than yon are.
No man stays the same through
life. He is continually pressing
upward, or plunging downward,
or varying between the two.
There has been only one person,
Christians believe, who actual
ly fulfilled all the good that was
possible for him. The possibili
ties for evil In his life remained
only possibilities—he never let
them come to pass.
The possibilities for good, on the
other hand, became real. His dark
angel remained only a ghost; his
gpod angel was simply his real
self. At no point In his life was he
forced to ray to himself, “I wish I
had ... I wish I had not.” And
yet, even for him life was a strug
gle. We do not believe he sinned.
We do believe he was tempted; and
if the temptation was real, then ha
could have finned. No man can be
really tempted to do what he can
not do. Yea, the Master had his
fight. But the point is: he won.

The Way to Win
FtHRISTIANS are not exempt In
^ this war of good against evil.
We are not “carried to the skies on
flowery beds of ease” any more
than Jesus was. We do not drift into
the Promised Land. We have to
fight our way uphill.
Yet Christiana are expected to
win. That is, God stands beside
each Christian In his fight, and
God’s power is for the Chris
tian’s nse. As Saint Pan! says,
with each temptation God pro
vides a “way of escape.” Our
prayer “Lead ns not into temp
tation” can always be answered.
Sometimes It can be answered
by ourselves. That Is, we can
not leave the fight to God.
But we can win as Jesus won:
sometimes by standing and doing
battle where we are, sometimes
Simply by leaving temptation be
hind. For often the best thing to
be done is to retreat. Get as far as
you can from whatever tempt^
your wor^e self. Don’t stand debat
ing between right and wrong when
you know which is which. Turn your
back on the wrong . . . run, don’t
walk, to the nearest exit!

Is Alcoholism- a Disease?
O NE OF the common temptations
of millions at all times is al
coholism. It is popular to speak of
this as a “disease;” and yet it is
the only disease of which victims
have actually cured themselves.
Dr. Brady, whose medical col
umn is well known, reminds ns
that nobody ever got over mi
graine headaches, or heart di
sease, simply by deciding to be
well. But men and women have
got over alcoholism, essential
ly by deciding to be well, and
sticking to that decision.
Alcoholics Anonymous, that well-
known group of former victims,
who have been very successful in
helping slaves of this habit to be
come their best selves, use much
the same methods we find in the
New Testament: (1) staying out of
temptation’s way, (2) overcoming
evil with good; and (3) laying hold
of the “Power, not ourselves, that
makes for righteousness.”
