True Mates'
Don'f/rx/sf
By Lowrcnce Goutd
,#i- ^
Do "true mates" !ook aiike?
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 beauty.
"Physical affinity" is an exploded
notion.
!s classic?)] music 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 tike men— which is much
more common—is also essentially
neurotic but less deeply rooted and
involves no serious personality dis-
order.

A New Treatment for Psoriasis
ByDr. James W.Barton
T WRITE FREQUENTLY about
^ 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 littte spots or patches
may run together and form large
patches. They !ook 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.
White 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.
!n 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 B! and various ointments, is
the usual treatment. Of course var-
ious methods of treatment of psori-
asis have come and gone, some of
which stilt 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.
!n 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 occurred in 19 of the 41
cases. These disturbances occurred
at the beginning of the treatment
but 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.
HEALTH NOTES
!t is worth much to those with
skins so sensitive to the sun they
cannot go swimming that they can
be desensitized by antihistaminic
drugs.
< * *
One of the latest methods of find-
ing the actua) condition of the liver
tissues is biopsy examination of
a ptcce of living tissue removed
from the body.
Two outstanding discoveries o)
recent veara are that insulin wi!)
prevent de:tth !n diabttcs and liver
wi!! prevent death in pernicious
anemia.

God Our Comfort
Lesson for November C, 1949
n S THE ENGLISH language
^ keeps on changing, words do
not always keep on meaning what
they once did. "Comfort" is one of
these. When our Bible was trans-
lated into English in 1611, the trans-
lation most Eng-
lish-speaking p e o -
pie use, the word
"comfort" had a
bigger meaning
than most people
put into it nowa-
days. We think of
it as meaning
soothing; but it is
a bigger idea than
that. God is not
merely a soothing D**- Foreman
God. We think of
"comfort" as meaning to make
comfortable; but it is a stouter
word than that. God does not al-
ways make his people comfortable.
The word means to strengthen, to
steel against fear and despair, to
put backbone into people.
* * *
"Fear Not, O Worm!"
KT THE TIME of the prophecies
we study this week, the Israel-
ites had been kicked around a good
deal. They had felt the conqueror's
boots, they were discouraged, as
all good people are when somehow
God seems to be letting evi! forces
triumph. Their litt!c world had
split wide apart, their little nation
had been blown to the winds.
To those people, torn by ter-
rors and bowed down by
wretchedness, people who were
in serious danger of developing
a once for-al) "inferiority com-
plex," people who were about
to lose alt their backbone, the
great prophet brings his mes-
sages: "Comfort ye my people,
saith your God."
The whole idea is in this one
sentence (Is. 41:14): "Fear not. O
worm Jacob! ... I am your helper,
saith the Lord."
God docs not indulge his people
in foolish pride. Beside the Al-
mightty they are worms, insccts.
Nevertheless, worm though he may
be, the man who trusts in God will
not be afraid. He wi!l not trust in
his own powers, he wi'! not trust in
!uck, he will trust in God.
A worm by itself is nothing; but
with God on his side, the weakest
of men can say with Paul. "If God
be for us. who can be againrt us?"
God's men do not get their cour-
age up by flexing their muscles or
admiring themselves. They grow in
courage as they grow in the know-
ledge of God.
Goodness And Power
g NY ONE who saw "Edward. My
Son" will remember the trage-
dy of that family. A boy's charac-
ter went s!owly to pieces, because
his father was determined that
nothing should be too good for him.
To gain his purpose the father ran
rough-shod over everyone who
stood in his way. and eventuaHy
ruined the lives of a!) around him.
inc!uding his son's and his own.
The mother, on the other hand,
could see. as the father could not,
what his indulgence was doing to
the boy. making him a weakling
and a rat. But she was too weak
to stand up against her husband,
and her life too was ruined. That
story is a kind of parable.
The prophet reveals a God
who is both powerful and good;
but suppose Cod were only
good but not powerful, or only
powerful but not good? Then
the world would be in a ntess.
as that boy Edward was in a
mess.
But these three are a!l in the
same God. A God who is power
only, might do as Edward's father
did, destroy his children without
even intending to do so. A God
who is goodness only, might want
to do right by his world yet not be
ab!e to do so. like Edward's moth-
er. A God who knew what was right
but neither wanted nor was able to
do much about it, woutd not be a
God at ai!.
* * *
Hod !s Not Weary
C*UPPOSE GOD were indeed pow-
^ erful. good and wise, and yet
grew tired from time to time? Sup-
pose all God's good qualities came
and went, unpredictably, like the
wind on a spring day?
No; God is the Maker and
Keeper of Promises, the Cove-
nant Cod. He does not grow
faint or weary; that is our
anchor of comfort.
The earth changes, and men with
it; but the Word of the Lord abides
forever. His "covenant of peace"
does not waver. We do not need to
!ean gingerly on the Almighty. He
wi!! bear aii our weight.

To Renovate Oiicioth
If the design on oilctoth fades
badly before thecioth itself is
worn out, you can renovate the
cloth by painting it v ith ordinary
enamel.
SpiHed Grease
If milk or grease is spiHcd on a
hot part of the stove and starts to
burn, sprink!c sa!t on it im-
mediately to prevent an un-
p!oasant odor.
Fruit Pies
When you bake a fruit pie or
some other dish that's likely to
run over, put a cookie sheet under
it. The cookie sheet will be lots
easier to ciean than the inside of
the oven.
Roach Control
Any of the home controls for
ants. inc!uding borax, sugar, or
plaster of paris can be used
against roaches; they will be just
as effective.
Avoiding Spiitage
To avoid the spillage that usua^
ly occurs in carrying a froshly-
fdled ice tray from the sink to the
refrigerator, place an empty gtass
upside down on the center of the
tray.
