•/ There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) * Indecisive And Sick Q. This guy who asked me to marry him told me he loved me very much, but something in me teils me that I don't love him, and there's also another part that says I do love him. I don't know what to dp about it. I wish I could get some advice soon-'cause it's making me sick and upset. Please be quick. He also says he will wait for me. He won't go out with any (me else except me. I'm confused. That's all. Please hurry. A. You are too panicky; cool it. If one part tells you that you love this fellow and one part says you do not, then better listen to the second part. For if you do not know for sure, with all your heart, that you love him-then it naturally follows that you don't, really. He is foolish for waiting. He had better get himself a girl who really loves him, and who knows that she does.

I have a small dog 8 years old who has been my constant companion since he was a tiny puppy. I have been his only companion. Due to the fact that he will not make up with anyone else, and will not eat while I'm away, I have been unable to take ' out of town or vacations. I live alone and am retired due to health problems. I face a stay in the hospital in the very near future and would in time like to visit my relatives out of town. I have thought of having him put to sleep, both for his sake and mine. However, I feel guilt-ridden to even think of it. Is it a sin to destroy life? Will God hold me accountable? I love this dog fend have spent much time and money on its care, but I am so confused. Can you help me? A. A dog, with its complete devotion to and considerable dependence upon its master, can really get a hold on your heart, and sometimes, without realizing it, the master becomes a slave and the dog becomes the master. We think you have let this happen to you. We have the feeling that you need to assert yourself more in your life. Had you sincerely wanted to go on trips and take vacations out of town, we believe you would have found a way to take the dog along (since you say he is only a small dog) or you would have found someone who would show him special kindness and patience in coaxing him to eat and survive in your absence. We suggest that you find such a person, or else a^suitable boarding kennel. Let's try this rather than thinking of putting this nice little dog to sleep. Jealous Husband Doesn't Work Q. It's been seven months that my husband hasn't worked. I'm working and always have. I support him and our daughters, aged 16 and 15. He is 60 years old and diabetic. I'm 40 and we've been married 19 years. My problem is that he is so jealous. But he is never home. He leaves the house at 7 a.m., back at 10 p.m., or 2 a.m. I love my husband, but I don't think he loves me. I'm very lonely and alive. What can I do? A. The fact that your husband is a diabetic is no excuse for his abdication of responsibility for supporting a wife and two daughters. ' If your husband is never at home from early morning until late at night or early the next morning, this obviously indicates that he isn't very interested in his family. You are the one who must let him know what you expect from him. If hedoesn't change and you want to continue putting up with this situation, find interests of your own. Live your own life and above all do not perpetually agitate yourself about an irresponsible spouse.

'-v. - • „ - t ' -i •' f* * • A ^ _ Safe For Home Canning Ms BIRTHS A two-year study by U.S. Department of Agriculture D (USDA) scientists shows that new tomato varieties are no lower in acid than older varieties, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Extension home economist. Tests of more than 350 tomato varieties and more than 200 current breeding lines show that there has been no consistent change in tomato acidity of varieties introduced over the last twenty-five years. What the public has been told about yellow, orange and small tomatoes being low in acid and not suitable for home canning is a fallacy, says Moore. Ac­ cording to the data, tomatoes of the small and light-colored varieties actually tend to be higher in acid than other tomato types. The acid taste in some high-acid tomatoes may - be masked by a high sugar content. The environment in which tomatoes are grown, or the condition of the vines, can affect tomato acidity. For example, one sample of the variety Fireball was picked after the vines were dead, and although the tomatoes ap­ peared normal, 38 percent of them were low enough in acid to permit growth of C. botulinum. Decayed or . overripe tomatoes may be exceptionally low in acidity. This finding supports previous USDA recommendations never to can overripe tomatoes or tomatoes with soft spots or decayed areas, explains Moore. If proper procedures are used, canned tomatoes are high enough in acid to prevent growth of the organism that causes botulism. Proper procedures start with the selection of tomatoes that are not overripe or decayed. The home canner should then follow approved canning instructions. The researchers said that although there seems to be no need to artificially acidify tomatoes, some home canners may wish to add acid. One- fourth teaspoon of citric acid or one tablespoon of bottled lemon juice per pint increases acidity, and causes no oft flavors. Vinegar is not as effective as citric acid or bottled lemon juice in increasing acidity, and vinegar produces an off flavor, says Moore. The study reported that a commercial acidification tablet, when used according to manufacturer's recom­ mendations, was not as ef­ fective in increasing acidity as one-fourth teaspoon citric acid or one tablespoon of bottled lemon juice.
