On top of such routine hazards as speeding motorist- and dog im pounders, man's best friend now has another problem to contend with. That’s the danger of winter poi soning from toxic chemicals that are used to melt snow and ice from streets ahd sidewalks. These chemicals may irritate the dog s paws. Then when the dog licks the irritated areas, it may swallow enough of the chemi cal to cause a digestive upset. ■I • •• AFTER TOM ..WHEN TH£ BOSS tS SENDING ME7P HE KEEPS mentholatum!

MIRROR 0/ Your MIND Parents Too Loving By Lawrence Gould May a parent be too uniformly loving? Answer: Strangely enough, yes. Since your child’s feelings toward you will inevitably be mixed (you cannot give him everything he wants and he cannot help being angry when you say No), if you are invariably kind and loving, he is likely as he grows up to feel he is being disloyal if he resents any thing you do, or perhaps even dis agrees with your ideas. And of course, being a “perfect parent” will involve considerable strain and some pretense on your part. It will be much better for your child to realize gradually that you are human and that to be annoyed with you occasionally is permissible and normal, not a sacrilegious outrage. FEEL ACHY?

Answer: That will depend on how much his parents make him feel that it means. I • doubt whether merely being named after his fath er—or even his father and grand father—would make a boy feel com pelled to follow in their footsteps unless other pressures had been brought to bear upon him. As for the fact that bearing their names emphasizes his being the first-born, any oldest child will be to some ex tent the object of the jealousy ol younger children, but will also suf fer from the shock of having had to give place to them when they were bom. Parents must do what they can to minimize this natural jeal ousy on both sides. Will fear keep an alcoholic sober? Answer: Not even the fear oi death will do this in all cases, re ports Marcus Crahan of the County Jails Division, Los Angeles, in the Quarterly Journal of Studies in Alco hol. In treating alcoholics with the new drug, Antabuse—which makes anyone so sensitive to alcohol that a single drink produces violent nau sea and too many may be fatal—pa tients are encouraged to try out the results of taking a drink, or when too ill for this, are made to watch others react to a controlled test of alcohol. With many, the ob ject lesson works, but there are others who will go on drinking even after they have been convinced that it may kill them. KEEPING HEALTHY Some Patients 'Enjoy Poor Health’ By Dr. James P ATIENTS and physicians are now realizing that the brain controls the body, but that the body controls the brain at times they are not as willing to admit. As a matter of fact, the brain and body are one and so any part of the brain can affect body reactions and any part of the body can affect the brain and its emotional reactions. Parents know that at times their youngster may feign illness be cause he doesn’t want to go to school for some reason; at other times when really sick and receiv ing attention from everybody, he will continue to complain of symp toms after he is completely well. It would seem that many of these children, when grown up, continue to use real or feigned illness as a “defense mechanism” to avoid re sponsibility. In New York State Medical Jour nal, Dr. Alfred Blazer, New York City, states that the commonest neurotic personality of our time W. Barton uses this defense mechanism as his way of life. Unlike the normal per son, he does not meet life in a constructive manner. He holds on to his illness and gets well too slow ly or refuses to recognize that he is getting well, because illness is his main asset in coping with peo ple, situations and his attitude to ward himself. Such a person is not aware of this weakness. All overnervous or neurotic, as well as normal persons, want emo tional security and satisfaction. If, when young, they have been unable to obtain security and satisfaction in the ordinary or usual ways, they develop methods of obtaining them by “enjoying poor health.” In the treatment of the psycho somatic (mind and emotions con trolling body actions). Dr. Blazer states that successful treatment de pends upon the relation which the psychiatrist or other physician ou technician permits the patient to have with him.

BY DR. KENNETH J. FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: John 3:1—31; 7:45—53; 10:3»—43. DEVOTIONAL READING: Matthew 10:33—39. Bom Again Lesson for January 27,1952 Dr. Foremoa I N many places one often hears the expression, “bom - again Christians”. As a matter of fact, there are no other kinds. If a person is not bom again he is not a Christian. The first birth is of the natural self, the awakening, so to speak, to this natural world. The second birth is of the supernatural self, the awakening to the spiritual world, the beginning of “living unto G o d.” Sometimes this new birth comes very early in life. Dr. Warfield, a vary conservative theologian, used to think that the second birth might in some cases actually come before the natural birth. (See Jeremiah 1:5). A man may become very dis tinguished, may be a great scholar, and still not have been born again. Nicodemus is a case in point. He was a man who had everything, as the saying is; he was a judge in the Jewish High Court, a man both wealthy and respectable. But he had not been bom again. • • • God Is the Life-Giver T HE English translation of John 3:7 has given many persons the idea that being bom again is a duty. Now a duty is something that you ought to do, and that by your own choice you can do if you will. It’s up to you. But (taking the teach ing of the Bible as a whole) being bom again is not a duty. It is the act of God. What Jesus was saying (aw the Greek of John 3 indicates) is that it is necessary, it is iiv* dispensable, to be born again. There can be no development, no growth, in the spiritual life unless there is somewhere the beginning of that life. You must have been bora once in order to see the sunshine. You must be bom again in order to see God. The seed which we sow in field or garden must have the germ of life in it or it will never grow. But no farmer can give life to lifeless seed. God alone is the life-giver, in the first birth or in the second. • • • Turn; Follow S OME people get this far in their thinking and then they become discouraged. “If only God can give life/’ they think, “what is the use of my trying to obey him? If God takes the first step then all I can do is to wait for him. No matter how much I want to be a Christian in my heart, I may not be able to, for God may not see fit to make it possible for me to do what I want to do.” This is a mistaken thought. John Calvin, as is well known, was a very strong believer in predestination. As pastor of a large church, he had numbers of people in his congregation who heard him talking about predes tination, the doctrine that we are in God’s hands and that spir itual life can come only as he himself begins it In our souls. They would ask just about this same question: I want to be a Christian, but how do I know that God has chosen me? I want to be a Christian, but how can I know whether I have been bom again? Calvin’s answer was a simple one: If you really want to be a Christian in your heart, that is a sign, the very best sign, that you have been bom again. • • » Turn; Follow I N the Bible, the commands are “Turn”; “Follow”; “Believe”; “Obey”. If we have not been bom again these commands fall on deaf ears. If they stir our conscience, if they make us respond, then that is >a sign we have been bom again. Then can’t we tell when wo are born again? Certainly we can Ml; just by being alive. “We know that we have passed from death onto life, because we love the brethren,” aid the same apostle who recorded Jesus’ conversation with Nico- ‘ demos. Wo wish very much we knew whether Nicodemus himself was ever bom again, but students of the Bible have never agreed on this. And the reason for the uncertainty la that Nicodemus never did come right out. We know Matthew was bom again because he turned his back on his former life and followed Jesus. We know that Nicodemus said some kind things about Jesus. We know that, after Jesus was dead, Nicode mus came through with a handsome contribution for the funeral. Was that only late, or was it too late? (Capyrtf fct. 1S51 by th* DlvlsUa at Christian Edaeation, National Connell •f the Churches ef Christ »f the Halted States of Aatoriea.

Synthetic Sow's Milk Is Used Successfully 3,000 Piglets Raised On Experiment Formula The development of a synthetic sow’s milk, made possible by the wonder drug terramycin was an nounced recently by Herbert G. Lu ther, research scientist associated with the Pfizer A Co., laboratories erf Brooklyn, N.Y. The formula, called Terralac, was tried on 500 piglets at the company’s laboratories. In addition, 3,000 pig lets have been raised successfully Piglet* on test in the labora tory of Cha*. Pfizer A Co. For this photograph the front of each of the top three cages lp» been removed. Bottom shows normal setup. without sows on several large pig farms which cooperated in the test ing of Terralac. Luther contends the formula may revolutionize the swine-raising in dustry. In the first place, his ex periment reduced infant pig mortal ity to an astonishing 5 per cent, as contrasted with the national aver age of 21 to 33 per cent It also largely solves the problem of the runt, long a bane to hog-raisers, by making growth-stimulating terra mycin and milk equally available to all pigs in the litter. Luther emphasised that' good pig farm management is essential far the^successful use of Terralac. Con stant temperature must be main tained, either via the use of heat lamps or by blowing warm air. And it must be prepared properly, and fed at regular intervals. : ? Average O.S. Farm Bigger As Number Falls i The Bureau of the Census reports a decided trend toward fewer but bigger and better equipped farms between 1940 and 1950. The number decreased by 713,000 in the decade, the bureau reports, but the average size unit grew from 174 acres in 1940 to 210.5 acres in 1950. There were 5,384,000 farms in 1950, against 6,097,000 in 1940. The sharpest decrease came in the five years between 1945 and 1950, when the number of farms dropped by 475,000. Other statistics in the report in cluded: About 870,000 fewer persons were working on U.S. farms in 1950 than in 1940. Less than one-third as many horses and mules were on farms in 1950 as in 1920. In 1950 there were 59,764,000 Cat tle and calves more than 3 months old on farms as compared to 00,- 674,736 in April, 1940. The number of chickens on farms was 2,500,000, or 0.7 per cent more than in 1940. Plenty of Pull One of the newest aids to farmer is the power carve tire developed by B. F.

WVTTMAN Blackened Window Frames QUESTION: We are building a new home. The windows were in stalled without paint or varnish, and from the steam and ice that formed on the windows during the winter, the framework around the windows is turning dark and there are some black streaks. I would like to keep them light, as I intend to varnish. What could I use to re store the natural wood color? Would a wood bleach remove the stain? ANSWER: If there are any signs of decay, you should sandpaper it down to clean wood. The wood bleach would take out the black discoloration, but it would also take the natural color out of the wood. If you do not object to this, you can use the wood bleach. The varnish will give some color to the wood, of course. You will probably need to smooth the wood with sandpaper (dusting off afterward) in some places. You can make an inexpensive bleach with oxalic acid (poison!), dissolving as much of this in hot water or denatured alcohol as a given quantity of the liquid will absorb. (Water solution should be applied hot.) Apply this on the wood liberally and let it stand all night. Then rinse well next day, several times. Let the wood dry thoroughly before var nishing. Spar varnish would he suitable, for it would withstand moisture very well. t"'a j mK as—>• y - « -llCTe 1 ana stuffiness of cole hurry this hoi way ... with Vicks VapoRuJ Izer or In a water as dire Just breat Every single' VapoRub’s cations deep; large bron< medicates Irrl branes, helps; breathing.
