It didn't take a degree to know that Barry was close to the edge. Why, he advocated a massive infusion of U.S. troops into Vietnam, bombing, defoliation. Fortunately, the American people rejected him and elected a man who did not suffer from such delusions of grandeur.

Another reason that capitalism is liked is the popular American credo that anyone may become rich or advance to a position. prestigious Realistically most people know they wont but there is still that ideal that they might. The trouble with capitalism is that people judge a man by how big his wallet is instead of what kind of person he is. The opponents of socialism forget that the government of this country has regulation on virtually every business. These socialistic restrictions protect us from the evils of capitalism. They also forget that the just in New York City. And nobody knows how many more screams were unheard outside locked doors and closed win- dows. Dr. Fontana recites reports from doctors which never went to court where beatings were administered with baseball bats, where babies were tortured over others were open flames strangled, suffocated, drowned. Dr. David Gil of Brandeis concedes that there is no precise tally of how many children are abused physically, emotionally or sexually, but his two years' effort to research the subject suggests that the number may approach 2.5 million. g Dr. Gil says corporal mentis only rarely administered for the benefit of the attacked child: "Usually it is the attacking adult who is seeking last-minu- Dr. Medication Halts Husband's Drive punish-considerin- from his own unanger, frustration controllable and stress." He says it tends to occur most frequently in 'large families of low socioeconomic status and educational achievements," though he concedes that any children beaten in a more prosperous environment are more likely to be treated by a family physician and left unreported. Dr. Fontana is himself a paradox, a physician who does not believe in either birth control or abortion yet he concedes that most child beatings derive from a situation wherein one or both parents did not want the child in the first place. He says, "Many women who abuse their children are actually crying out to society, 'Please take this baby away from me!'." Other doctors and jurists offer this hideous example as evidence that family planning should be allowed and encouraged by whatever means. Lawrence Lamb Dear Dr. Lamb Would you tell me what you think about a man with high blood pressure that stays at "This new understanding undermines the old admiration of worldly success as such. We are beginning to abandon our tolerance of the abuse of power by those who betray for profit the elementary decencies of life." This was said by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his 1933 and 1937 inaugurals. I believe America would not be where it is if not for the numerous socialistic doctrines that we now have. America must adopt even more socialistic concepts and stop being and imperialist and work to help the ?

I find this and it very has been going on for three years since our marriage. Dear Reader This is a very difficult problem. Many medicines that are used to treat high blood pressure have this side effect. If your husband's pressure is at the level that you state, despite all of his medications, he obviously needs the medicine he is getting. Without the medicine he might have very serious difficulty.

The vote bag is small, but Oregon characteristically has been useful as a springwhich board to the huge California test in June Humphrey says he must win. That's whv the McGovern camp is steeling itself against a possible late Humphrey push, like the one he put on in Nebraska to give the victorious McGovern a scare. decision on The reasons for Humphrey's Oregon, together with similar choices in one or two other stage key states, are indeed baffling at this of the campaign. Even if Humphrey does not pull a late one in Oregon, the McGovern leaders find it easy to be nervous about phantom opponents. Eleven candidates grace the ballot, including Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (you can t get off here). Gov. George Wallace, Eugene McCarthy, and such dropouts as Muskie, Jackson and New York Mayor John Lindsay. What McGovern fears, then, is that these candidates can nibble away at him not enough to give victory to someone else, but enough to drag his winning percentage too low for desired good momentum for California, with its 271 votes. Kennedy won't move a muscle in Oregon, but the guessing is he could poll 10 to 15 per cent. One McGovern aide says some voters think: "This is the only place in the country we can show we don't believe all those stories of the 19G9 Chappaquiddick bridge episode about Ted Kennedy." Oregon's black population is barely three per cent and busing is not a big issue, but mere word that George Wallace's advance men were prowling conservative southern Oregon sent quivers through the McGovern headquarters. Wallace seems able to rustle 10 to 15 per cent votes without either organization or personal appearance. Then there's McCarthy, angry ?.t McGovern over alleged slights earlier this year. McCarthy thumped the South Dakota senator a bit in Wisconsin, and is doing it here. He still has friends left over from his 1968 primary victory over the late Robert F. Kennedy. That's it. McGovern leads Humphrey 2 to 1 in the latest poll. He has, as usual, an active, superior organization, and will put on a final personal and media blitz of six days in Oregon. But he's afraid of the nibblers and of a sneak shot from Humphrey. This is but a sampling from a book that is all the more remarkable for having been written by an author who has never met his subject.

It is sometime.1; difficult for people to realize that illnesses sometimes mean they cannot do all the things they would like to do. Changing doctors won't help, but I would advise you to have your husband discuss this problem with his doctor to see if there is anything he could do to help relieve the side effects. But I would not be optimistic that this would be the case. I know that it is difficult for you, but if you really love your husband, you will be able to adapt to this problem. After all, you know, marriage is for "in sickness and in health." Dear Dr. Lamb I noticed your column with the request of the lady whose husband was losing his hair, and who was quite perturbed about it and your answer was very good but it didn't go "fur" enough, I think. For a number of years my wife and I fought dandruff, itching and falling hair from my head with shampoos that anyone and everyone had tried, even prescriptions, but to no avail. I finally got my wife to quit all soaps and detergents, shampoos and just use plain hot water and I mean hot just so it wasn't hot. After uncomfortably several weeks we began to see an improvement. After months of that method we have no more head problems except those inside, so I thought you might be interested in knowing our remedy for falling hair. Wish I had tried it a number of years ago. I might still have a good head of hair though at 83 I still have plenty. Dear Reader Thank you for your remedy. Congratulations on saving your hair and also for having your heart in the right place. Perhaps other readers will suggest what successful remedies they have used to prevent falling hair.
