I hope you can help. Mother, who is in her late 60s, has been fooling around for three years with a man 35. He has made a complete fool of her and it is obvious to everyone that she has been keeping him. She bought him a car, outfitted him at a leading men's store, paid lawyer's fees to keep him out of jail and she is supporting his alcoholism. | This man is rotten through and through and we are certain he will toss mother aside when her money is gone. She knows how we feel because my sister and I have told her. Yet she continues. Is there anything we can do or should do to help her?--Sick At Heart Son Dear Son: You cannot force help on a person who doesn't want it. The man is sick and so is your mother. The more I anything in sight -- was dis- see of people who louse them-| cyssed. at a party. I felt my selves up, the more thoroughly persuaded I become that the sick chicks find each other. Whenever you see a seemingly- well - adjusted person involved with an oddball, make up your mind that the seemingly well- adjusted one has developed a good facade. Underneath he is a little off kilter, too, or he would not tolerate the abuse. Dear Ann Landers: In a re- cent column you said, "Sixteen- year-old boys are not thinking about love and marriage. They are thinking about sex." Why limit it to 16-year-old boys? That statement applies to over half the male population of our country, whatever their age. I was engaged to a man 38.

My stepfather was such a fanatio about honesty that I never would have dared. Yet I get these horrible guilt feelings whenever stealing is brought up. I am sure people must suspect that my con- science is killing me. I need someone who is smarter than I am to explain why an innocent person should feel guilty.-- Baffled. Dear Baff: Guilt feelings can be triggered: in strange and mysterious ways. You may never have stolen a thing in your life but you do feel guilty about something. It is these feel- ings that surface and make you feel uncomfortable.

It is the working wife in the middle-age bracket who is asking for help in controlling her weight. The following letter gives the picture: "Could you outline a practical plan for middle - age working wives? I sit at a desk eight hours a day, so I get very little exercise, I am past 40, five-feet, five-inches tall and weight 155 pounds. I would dearly love to lose 20 pounds, but I have nei-/ ther the time nor the energy to| prepare diet fare as well as fix) nutritious meals for the family. | "Trying to reduce, I starve. for a few days, lose two or three pounds and end up gaining back five pounds. That all-gone | feeling around 11 a.m. and 4) p.m. is almost unbearable. 1 am sure I am not the only work-| ing wife in this predicament,' | she concluded. \ | Working wives with weight| 'worries, tune in. On the surface it might seem that doing two jobs would keep any woman thin. But this does not hold true | in our mechanical age. Accord-; ing to recommended daily al- lowances, women from ages 35) to 55 require only 1,900 calories/ a day. If your work is the| sedentary type, that number of | calories is likely to cover your fuel needs. | From your letters it appears| that many of you long to lose| 20 to 25 pounds. You point out| that you can't afford to lessen| your energy by strict dieting. Get over the notion that you must either diet and go hungry, or be fat.

ANSWERING QUESTIONS JANUARY SALE " INCLUDES LIFETIME SHOPPING MEMBERSHIP haps, the mother would allow the child no more food till the next regular meal. She would cultivate his appetite by letting him get hungry instead of try- ing- to push food into him he didn't want or more of any food than he wanted. If the mother were faced with hard problems in any of the foregoing situations, she might wisely not have the child eat with the family until she were more successful with him while Q. Will you please advise us parents on the matter of offer- ing advice to our married son or daughter on bringing up their children? A. Except in rare instances when you are sure your advice would be warmly welcomed by both the young parents, give no advice unless they ask: for it. Even then, be sparing with the advice. ' By Working To Schedule By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD In some homes, the entire family rarely or never sit down around a table to eat together. But in some other homes the whole family may enjoy at least one meal a day all together. Of course, holding the infant in arms too young to sit up alone, at the table, may not him one food at a time, noth- ing more. Suppose the foods are carrots, peas, or string beans. She would put on his plate just one disc of carrot, or two or three peas, or two or three short pieces of string beans. If he resisted this food or showed no enthusiasm for it, she would not tell him he must eat it. She '198. contribute to his welfare or to the feeling he belongs when he can sit comfortably and se- curely, with proper back and foot support, in a highchair at the table so he can easily hear and see what is going on. This feeling of belonging is felt when the child enjoys his food and is not distracted with remarks about him and his eating or not eating by older members of the family. Instead of thinking of how soon the baby is ready to eat with the family, we might better think of how soon the rest of the family are ready to eat with the child. If his mother has had prob- lems of guiding him to enjoy food while in a chair when no other persons were present, the child may not be prepared to come to the table with the fam- ily. Nor will he enjoy coming to the table if he has not learned to respect the word '"'no" quietly said once. LONELY MEAL But having learned to enjoy eating what his mother served him alone, he may profitably sit and eat at the family board at 2, 3 or earlier, provided he can feed himself and nobody at the family board says a word about his food or his eating; and if he is allowed to get down from the chair when he evinces wear- iness. If there are other young chil- dren of the family at the table, he may be distracted by their) remarks and behavior. If they) have food dislikes and resist-| ance, the child may soon imi-| tate them. He may want to have) all the kinds of food on the) table. This problem may be easily met if he has learned to respect the quiet: "No, that's for older persons." A bigger problem may arise with the youngster 2, 3 or 4 at the family table if he doesn't choose to eat the essential foods served him. In such an instance, one or more of the older per- sons at the family board will be tempted to urge him to eat or offered she would be sparing of would let him choose.
