Once a year I write about in- ifected tonsils and ,how they can cause rheumatism and heart dis- ease.

Unfortunately. patients and some physicians have confused large ton- sils with infected tonsils. which means that these large tonsils. with no infection present. have been removed without helping the condition for which they were re- moved.

At a time when infection of ton- sils, gums and teeth are not con- sidered by some physicians as causes of various ailments - rhc-umaiisin. heart disease. kidney. liver and intestinal disease while an equal number from long and tir.-ima'lic experience have found the rrmoviil of infection has cursed the majority of their cases. it is well to have the advice of n tiizh authority on removal of ton- ..t. in...

British Swim Suits Ilave Flarlng Skirt

IDNDON, Jan. 22 - (CP) - Those who remember the flounced skirts of the early bathing belles hill note just the faintest shadow of old glories in the latest British swim suits.

For the Bikini is out. In 1952, bathers here will wear flaring skirts iri princess fullness. The new suits me all in one piece, with higher backs to support smooth, whittled waistlines and quarter or half- sk.rt flares.

Designed to support the bust and flatten the diaphragm, the i952 models are extremely slimming. Made of clasticated materials to escape the ugly droop of the wool numbers of yesteryear. they are constructed so that straps are merely an afterthought.

Spoiled Girl's Tanirum Merits Drastic Action

DEAR MISS DIX: I am D years old. and for the first time in my life I have been spanked! I'm engaged to a terrlfic..big hand- some man of 30. and I ador him. Yesterday I had him over for dinner - mother and I live alone - and a terrible scene took place. I know I've been spoiled and have u violent temper that is as flaming as my red hair Mother asked me to help with dinner and I wouldn t. We started to argue and before I knew it I had taken a pile of plates and smashed them on the floor. Mark was simply furious. as he thinks the world of my Mom. and demanded that I apologize. When I refused, he literally carried me across the groom. turned me over his knee and ap- plied a hairbrush in my first spanking. As a re- W". I apologized to my mother and cleaned up the mess I had made. NOW my problem: Do you think I should marry a man who will treat me like that?

ANSWER: Your fiance is apparently well -acquainted with Mr. Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew", and gauges his wooing accord- ingly.

MOTHER SHOULD HAVE DONE 11'

His somcwliiit uiiconveiitionnl rliastisement should. of Course. have been instituted by your mother some twenty years ago. By resorting to it at this late date. your Mark is only trying to insure some sort of a reasonably happy future for hlniself.

Your ill-concealed pride in a turbulent temper and wilful dis- P05111011 might have led me to regard your epistle as a joke. were lt.TiOl. forvthe fact that Ilhave known many young women of like at. tributes who would profit mightily by the sort of discipline Mark metes out. This type of woman, usutilly, by some strange quirk of

ample-s of iienpecked husbands. Bravo to the Marks of this world who refuse to be conquered by the wiles of ii headstrong sweetheart. Your chances of a happy marriage should be quite good. provided Mark is as nssei-live a husband as he is a fiance. Certainly it will not. be a dull or boring life.

Surely you are iidiilt enough to accept responsibility without being forced into it, iind to realize your duty as a daughter as well as a wife? Your admissions are rather disgraceful; the defects in your character should be remedied by you. not corrected forcibly. Your letter indicates ti strong personality and a measure of intelligence: don't insult either by exhibitions of chlldishness. You can make of yourself a fine. disciplined. poised woman or a nasty. petty hag. Con- sider botli pictures and take your choice.

g DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 18 years old and graduate from high school this May We recently moved to a small town from a larger one where I had a job and earned my own money. I don't say; a Job here-or a chance to get one. Should I quit school and go ac. to the larger town to work. so I can have the things I want, or finish school here? . 6

, H. D. ANSWER: No matter what sacrifices you must. make. finlsli high school. It would be a shame to give up when you're so near getting a diploma. and that scroll will be a very valuable document in the years to come.

' DEAR MISS DIX: For the past three years I have known a sail- or and recently I received a letter from him asking if we could be engaged. I answered yes. Now he writes and asks me not to tell his folks because they might think he's too young to be engaged. He's 18. Is he being fair to me by asking this? C J.lif. .

ANSWER: Your fiance .certalnly owes something to his family. and at his age of least. they should have been consulted before he The best procedure from this point is to write and tell him you think it best to withhold the engagement altogether until he comes home. Then go about the betrothal in a more con- ventional fashion. There is also a possibility that the letter of pro- posal was written in a particularly homesl ' . or romantic, mood and might now be regretted. Don't hold the boy to it if you think such is the case. After all. 13 is rather young for A young man to com- mit himself.

It was. and still is an interesting question. not that we should pre- sume to deal in unravelling the pussies of the iovelorn. ,

At the some time. granted that The course of true love does not run smooth.” how axceodinxly beautiful it ends at the Altar! or do the rsdisnt faces there. alight with the holy glow of the occasion insinuate that this one with whom they now join hand and life is not their "true love?" . . . And Judy would laugh over the question she had offered us, half fun halt earn- est apparently trying to gain as- sistiince in opening the veil that concealed the sunrise of her fu- ture romances. The years since have been justly kind to her. She is married, and even between the lines. her letters breathe of hap-

pir ess and content. .

Whether or not these affairs could be classed in the category of "true love" we were never to learn. However it was our lot to find that the impediments or ob- stacle to their smooth course came from a source beyond the twain most interes ed. In the tender years, the early teens. when sprigs ot romance are first. green. shy and wonderful iind mostly of few words. though it is true these are beautifully gilded it was usual for ours to be rudely shattered by parental interference.

After an outing in the evening, which was of course by permit and took us decoruusly only a short. distance. there was apt to follow a catechizing. "A-hem! And where have you been Ellen?" as though each step of it had not been gone into thoroughly before. This brought an extremely re- spectful "To prayer-meeting. Father." "And who may I ask,-was your escort home? It seems to me I caught sight of" with due em- phasis and scornful inflection. "some uttle fellow fading out the lane - or were my eyes deceiving

me?"

Then indeed was the tongue a heavy weight cleaved to the very roof of the mouth? After, can it be close to a half-century? We can still hear the final pronounce- ment: "If I catch any little court- ier hanging 'round my do' when you should be taken up with your lessons. I'll It remains among our regrets that we were never sufficiently brave to contin- ue these affairs to a point where we could match youth -in knee pants. heart warm beneath neat. coat with age - in overalls and smock. to a spirited race along a iemembered lanei

Yet. we suspect that as in simil- i:ir sayings. utterances of sages and profound thinkers of the yes- teryear: there is some truth in the assertion - let the hindrances come from one or another of the

IT IS probable that important decisions may come up for final

settlement at this time. The culmination of long-pondered thoughts. desires and plans

should come to the point of "the dotted line," with the clarifying or ctebniiibie issues, and definite understandings and conimiinients. With due analysis and far-seeing vision, this should create all-around siitisfactiou between principals. But be alert to obscure. subtle or singular undertones. Hidden tal- ents or curious affiliations might have far-reaching denoucinents.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may arrive at a. point when buried tal- ents, secret yearnings. long-sought ideas or ideals might come up for final revelations. Dreams iind as- pirations may reach the place of realization. vision and forethought coming into their own. Long-de- fei-red issues or secret doubts may be revealed. although peculiar fac- tors or hindrances may still com- plicate or challenge. The distant outlook is favorable.

.A child born on this day may be serious. introspective and subtle. with latent talents and abilities eventually coming into recognition and reward.
