THE ODEM-EDROY TIMES
MIRROR
Of Your
MIND
Self-Concepiion
Shows Rea! You
By Lawrence Gould
£
Is your idea of yourself important?
Answer: very, reports Marjorie
B. Creelman in Persona. The “self-
concept” is quite different in nor-
mal people from what it is
in neurotics or psychotics and
helps indicate to a psychologist
which group you belong in. Your
true mental picture of yourself
is best revealed in the “role”
which you see yourself play-
ing in life—for instance, a leader,
an unappreciated genius, a loyal
supporter, a devoted wife, a victim
of persecution, or perhaps, a “suck-
er.” The nearer reality your picture
is, the nearer normal you are.
Should your home life be all
“sweetness and light”?
Answer: Not if this means
smothering all the petty squab-
bles and flashes of temper that
are part of human nature. A child
brought up in a home where no
harsh word was ever spoken
would be ill prepared to face the
real world when he grew up. He
would be in much the same posi-
tion as if he had never been* ex-
posed to “germs,” and so developed
no immunity against them. Living
with two parents who actively hate
each other is more than a child
can safely be asked to endure, but
he might as well know that Mother
and Dad are human.

\\
Is Horatio Alger out of date?
Answer: Yes, Professor Clyde
Kluckhorn, Harvard anthropolo-
gist, told a recent meeting of the
Child Study Association. People
who feel cheated because they
have not been able to achieve the
kind of success Alger pictured by
the methods he said would lead
to it form “the man-power re-
serve of demagogues and apostles
of irrational social movements.”
We must narrow the gap between
what we teach our children to
aspire to and what they are likely
to get. “We need a five-cent ide-
ology much more than we need
a five-cent cigar.”

Headache Due to Condition of Nose
By Dr. James W. Barton
before, to take in
the produce
early in the
morning while
the dew is still
fresh on them.
Whether you
pick your own
v e g e tables or
buy them from
somewhere else, try to get them
well on their way to canning within
two hours. Vegetables which have
been picked for longer than eight
hours before canning do not give
as tender or high quality canned
products.
Can only young beets and carrots.
Store the older ones in a cellar or
pit.
Certainly the work is made easier
the kitchen is all set for action.
This means that you have your jars
freshly washed and scoured, sitting
tubs or large kettles ready to
sterilize. You can put them on to
boil when you go out to pick the
vegetables.
Have a work table ready with
colanders, knives and spoons where
you can work on the vegetables
after they’re washed.
The pressure cooker should have
been checked for use to see that
the gauge is accurate. It should be
clean and fitted with a rack, ready
to receive the jars after they’re
packed.
Have a large kettle ready on the
work table or range so that vege-
tables can be pre-cooked. Some
women still use cold pack, that is
pack the jars without any cooking
of the vegetable. However, most
women say they have more luck
with precooking since this shrinks
the vegetable before packing and
also sets the color better.

T IS AGREED there are not less
than 150 known causes of head-
ache. Physicians today take a
headache seriously, not because
headache is considered dangerous,
but because they know that con-
stant or frequent headaches can
“wear down” the strongest nerves.
Many cases of headache are be-
lieved to be due to pressure of
some kind—gas pressure, pressure
on certain nerves from deformities,
defects or injuries.
Pain or ache in forehead is often
thought to be caused by defective
vision. It is of interest to learn that
defective vision is not the common-
est cause of an ache in the fore-
head above the eyes; such a pain is
often due to disturbances of the
nose and the sinuses adjoining it.
Headache due to gas pressure
from stomach and intestines occurs
most often in middle of forehead
and also at back of head.
In “Irish Journal of Medical
Science,” Dublin, Dr. W. M. Mollin-
son states that, as pointed out in
1893 by Dr. Gowers, pain felt just
above the eyebrows is sometimes
due to disease or diseases of the
sinuses immediately above the eye-
brows but is often due to inflama-
tion of the lining of the nose.
Experimental studies were car-
ried out on the walls of the nose
and sinuses to discover the places
or sites at which pain is produced.
In no case did stimulating these
spots in the nose cause pain in
back of head.
Dr. Mollinson classifies nose or
nasal headaches into (1) those in
connection with the walls of the
nose, (2) those in connection with
the sinuses adjoining the nose and
(3) those due to the neuralgias.
Simple presure on the middle
turbinal or turbinate bone in nose
is often regarded as the most
common cause of headache due to
a nose condition. This pressure
may be due to a polyp or other
growth. Pressure occurs against
the branch of the large blood ves-
sel supplying the head and neck.
HEALTH NOTES
Among the symptoms of subdel-
toid bursiiis are heat and redness
at top of shoulder, but the main
symptom is pain when the arm is
moved forward, outward or in-
ward.
• • •
Aspirin, either .alone or in com-
bination with phenacetin or phen-
acetin and caffeine, is effective in
relieving joint pain.
Instead of drinking extra water,
the overweight should sip a little
fluid to allay thirst and let some
of the water in the fat tissues sup-
ply the water his body processes
need.
• • •
Light insulin shock relieves the
symptoms of anxiety and frees the
patient to cooperate with the physi-
cian.
Choosing Vegetables
tT’S EASY to determine whether
■“* a vegetable is right for canning
just by careful inspection. Here are
tips to guide you.
Asparagus stalks should be green
for the greater part of their length,
inasmuch as the white parts are
woody. Choose firm stalks.
Lima beans or snap (green)
beans should be young and tender.
Both types should look green and
fresh. Green beans should snap
readily when bent.
Kernels on
corn should be
plump and full
of milk. The
husk should be
fresh and green.
In greens,
choose those
with tender,
young and unbruised leaves. Never
use wilted leaves.
Pea pods should be bright and
full. Avoid the puffy pods with
small peas. Peas, when shelled
should be tender.
LYNN SAYS:
Treat Pressure Cooker
Like Fine Machine
One of the best things about the
pressure cooker is the accuracy
with which it processes foods. Treat
it carefully so that the accuracy
can be maintained.
Guard the cooker against blows,
as these may dent it or break it.
If the pressure guage is jarred or
damaged, it will lose its accuracy.
Keep the sealing surface clean
and dry as this enables you to close
the cooker properly.
Follow These Directions
txrHEN VEGETABLES are
brought in for washing and
preparation, have your pressure
cooker all ready to use. The rack
should be in place, the safety valve
assembled and the petcock open.
The jars should be ready, too, after
washing, in a pan of hot water.
Have the teakettle or other ves-
sel with boiling water ready, too,
as this is the liquid you’ll need for
filling vegetable jars.
Wash and prepare the vegetables
to fill the jars you have.
Pre-cook the vegetable for the
specified length of time, then ladle
into the jars immediately. Add
enough boiling water to the jar so
that it reaches to within V\ to %
inch of the top. Add salt to the jar,
in the proportion of % teaspoon to
pints and 1 teaspoon for quarts.
Run a spatula around the inside
of the jar to release air bubbles.
Wipe the sealing surface of the jars
with a clean cloth.
Adjust the jar closure, using man-
ufacturers’ directions. These vary
with different caps, so it’s smart to
read directions for the particular
one you’re using.
Place jars in cooker, seeing that
they do not touch, and that there
is enough room
for the hot air
to circulate.
There should be
enough water in
the cooker to
cover the bot-
tom or the rack.
Adjust the lid
on the cooker,
and tighten
directed by manufac-
clamps
turer.
Processing Under Pressure
rpU.RN THE heat under the cooker
* on, and let steam pour from the
petcock for 7 to 10 minutes. This is
necessary for releasing the air from
the cooker so that when you do
start the actual pressure cooking,
you’ll have correct temperature.
Close the petcock and let the
cooker come to the desired pres-
sure. It’s important that this be
maintained, as fluctuations of a
pound or two either way several
times during processing will drain
liquid from the jars, thus giving an
unattractive look to them, as well
as leaving them dry to the point
where they are uncovered.
Process according to vegetable
chart given above.
Turn heat off and remove to a
cooler place until the gauge regis-
ters zero, then release petcock,
clamps and cover. Always stay
far enough away so that the steam
does not burn you as you open the
cooker.
When you want to clean the pet-
cock and safety valve, use a pipe
cleaner, running it back and forth
through the openings. Never use
toothpicks as these may break and
clog the cooker.
Never store the pressure cooker
away without insulating it against
any moving or dust and dirt. Wrap
well in newspaper and cloths.
It’s best to store the lid sep-
arately from the cooker, so that no
musty odors, difficult to rid, can
develop in a closed utensil.

Peevish Prophet
Lesson for June 25, 1950.
TONAH THOUGHT he knew better
J than God. When men said, “Be
a prophet,” Jonah decided to take
a long vacation. He took a ship for a
far place so far away he thought
even God could not follow. When
God said, “Preach
to Nineveh,” Jonah
decided that was
the very thing he
did not want to do.
When God said, in
effect, “Be a mis-
sionary,” Jonah
thought he would
rather be a tourist.
Of all the prophets
on record, Jonah ^ Foreman
was the peevish one.
The remarkable and unique
little book of Jonah is perhaps
the most misunderstood book in
the Bible. Nobody knows how
much ink has been wasted on
the whale (which, incidentally,
was not a whale but a fish!),
whereas the real message of
Jonah is not about whales at all.
It is about taking the message of
God to the most unlikely places
in the world; it is the story of
how the very people who ought
to be doing it, sometimes won’t
do it.
* • *
Does God Care?
^"lONSIDER the good reasons Jonah
^ might have given for not going
to Nineveh. They are like the rea-
sons people give nowadays for not
believing in foreign missions. (A
mission to Nineveh was about as
foreign a mission as any one could
have thought of, in those days.
Reason number one: The
Ninevites were mean people.
So they were. Assyria, of which
Nineveh was the capital city,
had done, and would do Israel
more harm than any other en-
emy she had.
The Ninevites were an unscrupu-
lous, greedy people. They knew no
law but force. They spread by vio-
lence into many a country. They
were the nation nobody loved.
Should the message of God be
given to such a city? Jonah thought
not; God said it should.
And of course God was right. If
the message of God had been sent
only to peoples and nations that
“deserved” such a favor, God’s
messengers would all have stayed
at home.
• • •
Too Far From God
TREASON number two: Nineveh is
A* a long way off. Indeed it
was. To reach Nineveh, Jonah
would have to pass through at
least a dozen other cities, all
of which no doubt needed preach-
ers. Were there not enough people
at home who needed preaching? Of
course there were . . . Only Jonah
did not preach to them. He had a
wonderful missionary opportunity
there on the ship. Every man of
the crew was a heathen. But Jonah
was fast asleep.
This is often too true. People
will protest about foreign mis-
sions: why send preachers and
doctors and teachers and mon-
ey so far away? Aren’t there
plenty of heathen right at home?
Of course; but you won’t often
find the objector to foreign mis-
sions doing much about it.
Any church that is awake and
active in supporting foreign mis-
sions will be found to be just as
alive and intelligent in meeting the
problems of the neighborhood.
• * *
Judge The World
EASON number three: (This
sounds like a silly reason, but
Jonah actually put it forward—
Jonah 4:2.) God is too good! What
was the use of preaching to Nineveh,
Jonah wanted to know, if God was
going to be gracious and not de-
stroy the city with fire from the
sky?
If God is good and merciful,
why should we bother about
sending missionaries anywhere?
Won’t he save every one any-
how? Isn’t God too good to
judge the world?
Jonah overlooked the fact that
God had mercy on the Ninevites
because they repented. Nowhere in
the Bible is there any encourage-
ment to believe that God has mercy
on the unrepentant. To all who
turn to him, God is gracious; and
the job of the missionary, what-
ever else he does, is to persuade
people to turn to God. “Be ye rec-
conciled to God,” said Paul, the
great Christian missionary. If
rebels will not lay down their arms,
how can there be an amnesty?
The great tragedy of Juda-
ism is the tragedy of Jonah:
God wanted his people to win
the world; but they became in-
grown, they ceased even to
wish to be a missionary faith.
Shall the same tragedy over-
take Christianity?

Double Duty
A gravy ladle gives perfect
service for creamy dishes such as
chicken a la king. It’s fine for gen-
erous servings of dessert sauces,
too.
Smooth Shining Crown
Sleek “little” coiffures are the
mark of spring. Smooth shining
crowns feather out in “spit” curls
(if you can wear that extreme
style),
Petit Fours Glaze
Before frosting petit fours,
spread the top and sides with an
apricot glaze. To make it, soak
dried apricots overnight then
drain and force through a sieve.
Combine with an equal amount of
sugar, heat to boiling slowly, and
boil five minutes, stirring con-
stantly.
Use for Orange Halves
Save orange halves after juice
has been squeezed out and pack
them with mashed sweet potatoes
for a luncheon or dinner dish. Sea-
son the potatoes with salt, butter
or margarine, and a little brown
sugar or maple syrup. Heat in a
moderate oven.
Use Muffin Pan
Baked stuffed peppers, toma-
toes, apples or onions keep their
shape better if put into a muffin
pan.
Vegetable Symphony
Names of vegetable extracts
used in making leather soles firm
and supple sound like a geo-
graphic symphony. They include
wattle, quebracho, divi - divi,
sumac, gambier, mangrove and
myrobalans.
No Favors
On his visit to Norway, a man
was impressed with the unpreten-
tiousness and democratic conduct
of members of the royal family.
When he saw a photograph of the
King carrying his suitcase to the
train while the adjutant who fol-
lowed him carried nothing, he re-
marked to a Norweigian, “Can you
imagine! The King even carries
his suitcase himself.”
“So what?” replied the Nor-
wegian, “It’s his, isn’t it?”
* * *
Very Funny
Johnny was being given a sound
taning as punishment for break-
ing his mother’s favorite vase.
Far from having the desired
effect, it seemed to be a cause for
merriment, and Johnny shook with
laughter. “J o h n n y,” said his
mother, sternly, “I should think
you would take your punishment
seriously. This is not a joke, you
know.” “Oh, but Mother, it is a
joke,” replied Johnny, “and it’s
on you. I didn’t break the vase—
Bobby did.”

Reckon So
A midwesterner, traveling in the
East for the first time, was on
his way to Philadelphia. He be-
came nervous as he neared his
destination, and when the train
stopped at North Philadelphia
wondered if he should have gotten
off. He didn’t, however, and, turn-
ing to his seatmate for assurance,
asked if the train would stop at
the Broad street terminal. “Well,
I certainly hope so,” was the re-
ply, “because if it doesn’t we
shall all be in a devil of a mess.
