These homely medical tips come from Dr. John ichenlattb, whose book, "A Minnesota Doc- tor's Home Remedies for Com- mon and Uncommon Ailments," is selling so well that he prom- ises to become the Dr. Spock of the adult world. Last month, as the book went into its fourth Printing (it has sold 50,000 copies), the 38-year-old author explained that his home reme- dies "aren't folklore, they are medically approved measures to treat minor illnesses." His book is devoted or:inertly to the ailments which most Ame- ricans either think are too silly -to bother a doctor with, or not serious enough to warrant pay- ing the doctor's fees.

The medical recipes •(:)1 the Johns Hopltine..trained, Di, EiChenleub are the result of ten years of general practice and teaching at the universities of Illinois and Minnesota, 0bvionsly Dr. •Eichenlaula's book goes far beyond the scope of a first-aid manual — a fact that has worried some ,doctors,. who suggest 'that his home reme- dies may encourage people to treat the symptoma ..of what could be major illnesses, But studies have shown, Dr, Eiehen- laub pointed out, that most Am- ericans experiment with home remedies before seeing a doctor. He hopes his book will "show people which illnesses they can care for themselves, and which ones need a doctor's attention." — From NEWSWEEK% Sacred Site Still Causes Controversy Of all the shrines in Christen- dom, none is more sacred--- or more shabby — than the 800- year-old Church of the Holy Se- pulcher in the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem. Built, accordin4 to legend, on the site of both the Crucifixion and the Resurrec- tion, the crumbling stone church was rocked by an earthquake in 1927, wracked by mortar fire during the Arab-L;raeli wa, in 1948, and ravaged by fire in 1950. Today, only a jungle of massive scaffolding holds the twin-domed shrine together. Since 1947, there have been five suggested plans for restor- ing the Holy Sepulcher to its former grandeur, But the six Christian communities (the Ro- man Catholic, the. Greek, Arme- nian and Syrian Orthodox, and the Egyptian a n d Ethiopian Coptic) have been unable to agree on what should be done or who should have the privilege Of paying. Last month, however, there was hope that this most holy of Christian shrines can be saved before it collapses in a heap of sacred rubble. Hassan El Katib, the Moslem Governor General of Jerusalem, summoned the Chris- tian architects to his office and told them they couldn't leave until they had initialled some sort of plan. As a result, a ten- tative agreement has been reach- ed On a $1.5 million repair pro- gram to shore up the tottering south transept and fagade and the smaller of the two domes. Nothing was said about long- debated plans for adding a Prot- estant chapel (there is none now), repairing the main rotun- da over Christ's tomb, and clear- ing away some of the architec- tural clutter. But, even with its objectives sharply limited, the restoration plan could easily be upset by some new outbreak of petty jealousy. So vigorously do the various Christian communi- ties guard their separate per- quisites that any agreement is always subject to change. In the past, disputes' have raged over which sect had the right to hang vestments in what clothes closets, and who was go- ing to whitewash the ceiling. It is not unusual for the Roman Catholics and the Copts, who say mass at the same time each week in the main rotuncia,:kto try and drown each other out. Last Christmas, a Greek Ortho• dox group spied a Franciscan standing on a step leading to one of "their" chapels. The fight tnat ensued was so un-Christian that the Jordanian police had to be summoned. It is no wonder, then, that the new restoration agreement is so tentative. As one Franciscan re- marked the other day, while shuffling through a dimly lit passageway: "You can't change a light bulb around here with- out consulting protocol. That's why the place is so dark." Anybody Can Become A Minister. 'Judas -out for 30 pieces of eilver---bet 1 bought Christian ordination for $50. "I am an ordained minister • and ashamed of it , This is the melodramatic v, ay reporter Bill Jones of the Long Beach, Calif., Independent kick. ed oft his series of "confes- sions" last month on one of the nation's most disgraceful rack- ets, and one that is untouched by law: Quick "ordination.' The "church" to which Jones refers is not only undenomina- tional but unnamed; his "Cert.', ficate of Ordination" merely reads: "Know — Rev, Wil- liam Jones has been duly err dained at the request of King- dom Bible • Institute, Dallas, Texas, and is hereby entitled to. all rights and privileges, mar- riage, baptism, burial — accord.- ed a minister (sic) of the gos-pel under the ecclesiastical and statutory laws 'of the United States of America," In ten weeks of undercover work, in cooper- ation with the California attor- ney general's office, the 30-year- old feature writer established relations with eight "religious" organizations in several states, He says that for $200 he could have become a "bishop" in New Thought. Science, Inc., 4415 San- ta Monica Boulevard, Los An- geles. Because his newspaper ex- 'pense account would not stretch that far, he became qualified as a "Neophyte," or faith healer, for a modest $30. The Church of Light, Box 1523, Los Angeles, made him a Stellarian — "what- ever that is." All he had to do was promise to hand over his proxy for annual church meet- ings to the organization's presi- dent. Probably the best bargain, however, came, from "Rev.

Baxter" of Redlands, Calif., through whose good of- fices Jones got the "ordination" -certificate. In a letter labeled "Very Personal and Very Pri- vate," Baxter told Jones: "If you (take) the kind of Examination that is required by the Director and trustees of Kingdom Bible Institute • . . it will take many months, as you would have to study the lessons until you could answer the questions from memory Baxter cut through all such formality by supplying answers to the questionaires accompany- ing the 25 lessons and asking Jones to, grade himself, (He got 100.) A grade of 75 or better qualified Jones for the degree of "Master of Bible Interpreta. tion." And ail for a mere $50, Jones, who has been with the Independent a little over a year, is a genuine Roman Catholic layman (who once thought of, becoming a real priest) and glad his religious undercover job is over. In the past year, offbeat feature assignments have Cast him as flophouse wino, night- club playboy, circus clown, and Russian naval officer. "But the ordination - racket series was the most important," - he says, "I wanted to point out the lack cf proper legislation in guarding the public from ati Elmer Gantry — and the horror is that now I am legally an or- dained minister!" "It is always best to speak the truth," states a soapbox orator. Unless, of course, you're an ex, ceptionally good liar. We had a burial here this morning — without benefit of clergy. A neighbor was busy cutting his lawn when, in a vacant lot that runs at the back of our two properties, he found a collie dog. It was dead very, very dead. We knew it be- longed to people on the next road and had been missing for over a week. Poor old Rex, he was fourteen years old, the pet of the familY. After his owners had been notified by phone Billy and his father came over. Twelve-year-old Billy was in tears. Why wouldn't he be — he and Rex had grown up together. With the help of Partner and the neighbour who found the dog a ,grave was dug and Rex buried right on' the spot where he died. In the „middle of things Billy's mother came through a gap in our •fence. I found her with eyes streaming and hardly able to speak for sobs. Just so much can a dog mean to a fa- mily. Time after time she had told me — "I don't know what we would do if anything lever happened to Rex." Small won- der. Rex always followed Billy to school and afterwards came trotting back alone. Then about three-thirty, he would be off again to meet Billy on his way home from school. Rex was slow, shaggy, unkempt and half blind. But he belonged to the family and they loved him, Now they are wondering , . . did he die a natural death or was he poison- ed? If so, by whom? Can you imagine anyone mean enough to poison a poor old dog whose only sin was that he sometimes walked across other people's property? Dee and the boys had a similar loss this summer when eleven- year-old Honey developed jaun- dice and, for fear of infection, the "vet" advised she be put to sleep. She would probably have died anyway. It just meant a quicker release from her suf- fering, Thank heaven, mercy killing is allowed for animals anyway, Our Ditto has had her trou- bles too and has probably lost one al her nine lives. She is a great hunter and it looked to me as if a rat had taken a bite out of her tail. Anyway she felt very sorry for herself for a cou- ple of days and stayed pretty close to house. Now she is on the prowl again. Her favorite hunting ground is a discarded chickenpen in a yard across 'Mat Are you scowling about'' t've been to 'waking school." Will :The Repeat Ta.ylor's Success? Chestnut-haired Lori Martin, age 13, :skipped oft an eleVator in Rockefeller Center one day recently and bestowed an nifee. tionate kiss on old friend Tab Hunter, who looked almost grown up beside her,. A flock of press agents clucked indulgently. As the diminutive beauty trained her cobalt blue eyes and dazzling smile on a pair of Newsweek re- porters, The star of NBC's new "National Velvet" series; based on the same Enici Bagnold girl- loves-horse story that catapulted. Elizabeth Taylor -to glory some fifteen years ago, Lori was in New York for a week of publi- city and some fun prior to the series' premiere, The obvious question was, would theatrical. history repeat itself? "Look at my elephants, aren't they. adorable?" said Lori, show- ing off a matched wooden set just given to her by a ,luncheon admirer at Trader Vie's — and thus established point of similar. ity No, 1 (Liz Taylor, at 14, col- lected toy animals). "I've got 25 horses at home, including my sis- ter's, Thank goodness, these won't break. I talk to them when I'm mad at people," added Lori, "but they go and hide in the cupboard." Lori has been riding real horses since she was 6 (Liz be- gan at 3). "I try to ride as often as I can," she said," "but we're a modest little family." The fam- ily lives in. Burbank, Calif,, and consists of mother and father (an art director at Warner's), older sister Jean, twin sister Doree, and younger brother Stephen. None of these were overly surprised when Lori, who has appeared in 40 TV plays and a movie; was chosen from among 1,000 applicants for the role of Velvet Brown; "My older sister has a slight tendency to be jeal- ous sometimes," Lori admitted, "but really, all of them are quite nice about it." Lori herself takes stardom in stride. She owns a Thunderbird ("but my mother drives it for me"), works. six hours' a day at the studio puts in three more ,hours tutoring. • "My grades are nothing great; but they're cer- tainly not lousy." • While in New York for the first time, Lori • planned to see New York from the Empire State Building, a Broadway play, and Freedomland. "I also want to go shopping," she said, -"I've saved $25 from any 'allowance." So far,'there had been little time for sight-seeing. "I do get rest- less sometimes," Lori sighed. And Miss Taylor? "She's a good •actress," Lori said. "I saw our main worry for the day .. a sixty mile drive each way with a nine-mile stretch of road con- struction . .

Quite, often she brings home mice and offers them to Taffy. I hope she doesn't feel too hurt when he rejects them. Taffy likes hunting too but his main interest is rabbits. I doubt if he has ever caught one but that doesn't seem to discourage him. So that's ,our animal news for the week. Isn't it strange that we can still be concerned with ordin- ary everyday things when we are living through such critical times in world affairs? It may be ludicrous by comparison but thank heaven we can still be concerned over the loss of a dog even as we listen to what is taking place in the Congo, in the U.N. Assembly, or in the wake of Hurricanes Donna and Ethel. Surely it is this absorp- tion with apparently unrelated family affairs that helps us to keep both 'feet on the ground instead of worrying ourselves in- to a state of nervous exhaustion. I was thinking this when we, were visiting friends last week — an intelligent, well-educated much travelled couple, who, from choice, are now trying to make a living from farming -- but not too successfully, 0 u r conversation during the day did eventually get around to inter= national affairs; to war and the threat of war, but mostly it was about the local drought; fear that the well would give out; uneasiness because they were having to supplement pasture feeding with hay stored in the barn for winter use. Also the advisability of selling calves as vealers or to keep them for baby beef. The price of eggs was also discussed, and the poor yield this year from garden pro- duce -- all reflecting- on the weekly income.
