and he's been in the hospital
nine times because of it. He had
always drunk some, but now he
is growing worse. I've managed
to hold on to my position and
take care of all obligations, in-
cluding his debts.
"I took all this while my son
was growing up. (This is not
the first job I had to get.) I've
tried having whiskey in the
house, but in a Sunday after-
noon the whole quart is gone.
I've kept beer in .the icebox,
but he prefers stopping at tav-
erns on the way home.
"When our son was younger
and my sister ceuld stay with
him, I tried sitting in taverns
with my husband for hours,
drinking cokes and saying noth-
ing. Now our boy is growing
up; if I didn't come straight
home from work there wouldn't
be any parent home with him.
(I can't plan much for him as
things are, fo, we spend most
of our time waiting for his
Dad.) I've pleaded with my
husband• to stop drinking (he
calls that nagging) but he re-
fuses to take the cure or even
discuss it. I've asked him to
stop for me aa work and we'd
come home together; that didn't
work, and I'll not ask him
again. I've even .left him, and
then he lands in the hospital and
pleads with the to come home.
It has been a mistake to take
him hack too soon.
"He has his points. He is
good. -hearted, cooks dinner now
and then (he likes to) and has
fine qualities all along the line,
for which I have praised him
regularly, But I am growing
weary of all the obligations I
have to meet because so much
money goes into taverns,
"What shall I do? If I make
a change I'mn afraid this time
it will be permanent. .It de-
serves long consideration, and
I'm not one .to -give np aseiail3a� :.:s
But I've had years of it, and
I'm no further ahead than I
was ten years ago.

LOVE IS NOT ALL
"Dear Anne Hirst: I've simply
got to write you. For over a
year I went with a grand boy.
Late January we decided we
were getting too serious, and
stopped.
"Now he goes out with older
women, and is very despondent.
I am still in love, and would
like to help him, but he - won't
talk about himself. We see each
other occasionally (my parents
do not mind) but we don't go
steady any more.
"I do so want to see him his
old self again! I know he is
fundamentally good. What can
I do to help? WORRIED"
* Nothing just now.
* The lad is floundering in
* mixed emotions: he does not
know what he wants, he is
* trying to find himself. So h„
* goes with first one type of
* girl and then another, and is
* unhappy with them all.
* When you do see him, don't
* ask questions. Let him alone.
* Though he. is 22 he is still
* growing up, and he finds it
* confusing. He' must work
* things out for himself. He
* knows what sort of girl you
* are, so be natural with him,
* and by ,, our silent , mpathy
* let him feel you are standing
* by — and that you can wait.
* He will conte to himself.
* .Patience and understanding
* are what you need now. Love
* of itself is not enough,

No wife can stop her hus-
band's drinking unless he wants
to stop. Once you realize this,
you will find the courage to per-
suade him, or leave hien and

understands, and can advise you
wisely. Write her at Box 1, 123

!FLAMING PASSION
Fire Brigade Captain Frani
Fazeny, of Steyr;', Austria, was
deeply in love with Maria Sad -
leder. The snag to his courting
was that she lived in a neigh-
bouring village and his duties
didn't allow him sufficient time
to woo her.
Fazeny thought of a scheme
whereby he could see Maria
more often, but the scheme fell
through when the captain was
convicted of arson after start-
ing three fires in nearby Ail•
hawing, the village in which
Maria lived. Ile started the fires
so that he could see more et he

Took Snake To Bed
To C re The Flu
Are you scared of snakes? An
expert new World Health '
Organization report proves that
you ought to be. Every week,
somewhere in the world, at
least 1,000 people die of snake-
bite. In remote villages and
jungles hundreds niore die in
agony before they can be
brought to medical attention.
Formidable a m o n g killer
snakes, the African spitting
cobra is able tb hurl its venom
accurately into a man's face
from a striking distance of •
twelve feet. The highly poison-
ous gaboon viper brings almost
instant death as soon as it
strikes a native's bare foot, Al-
together, of the - world's 2,500
different kinds of snakes, 200
are dangerous to man.
Not long ago a soldier brought
a cobra home from Malaya —
where snakebite deaths are
higi)est of all—but he made sure
first that the poisonous fangs
had been removed. His family
called it "Cyril"' and made the
reptile a domestic pet. Then
one day they happened to show
it to a zoologist—and Cyril was
hurriedly cased and rushed to
the zoo.
Unknown to the family the
fangs had grown again and the
poison sacs were full. The son
titer's family had bean toying
for weeks with death!
Yet many people make pets
of pythons, boa -constrictors and
even rattlesnakes. A club form-
ed for these serpent -minded folk
has hundreds of members. One
enthusiast breeds pythons for
profit. A python can lay up to
90 eggs at a sitting and a three-
foot specimen is worth 50.
.Rearing them is tricky, how-
ever. With only one lung apiece
snakes are peculiarly liable to
'flu and pneumonia. A snake -
dancer's full-grown python fell
ill with 'flu and, faced with the
cancellation of her music -hall
bookings throughout Britain, she
consulted the highest experts.
"Keep him warm!" was all
they could advise. So she put
the python to bed with hot-
water bottles, then climbed in
alongside him for extra warmth,
stayed in bed a fortnight—and
restored him to health.
If you see a snake it's corn -
forting to know that it can
hardly see you. Nor can it hear,
though snake charmers are
aware that snakes are acutely
sensitive to vibrations. Their
forked tongues actually sense
the vibrations in the air and,
coupled with their strong sense
of smell, enable them to find
their food.
BEAK TROUBLE — This Rhode
Island Red rooster is a ,strangcs
sight with a protruding lower
beak and distorted upper
beak. Because he can't pick .
food off the ground, he is fern
from a deep container.
In the main, however, British
snakes are useful creatures,
helpful to the farmer in destroy-
ing mice, rats, rabbits and
other pests. Of our three native
species only the adder is
poisonous — and only seven
people have died of adder -bite
in the last fifty years!
