Mirror of your mind By JOHN CONWELL Do people who look alike have the same traits? NO, although it seems that way to the one who notices a strong resemblance in two persons. Then it becomes a plain case of subjective thinking on the part of the observer.

If he likes something about one person, he will try to find that same quality in his "twin." Unfortunately, if he resents the original person for some trait or characteristic, he will feel resentment building up against that -person's Jookalike. Are artists, generally egotists? NO, at least not the really great ones. Yet many artists even those who truly should be labeled artists act like egotists, mainly to convince themselves that what they have painted, sculptured, written, composed, is worthy of the time and effort devoted to creating it. Then, too, most artists really only pretend to be egotists betause they have to wait for posthumous recognition of their contribution to the arts. Is a 'bad' parent deliberately NOT VERY OFTEN, even if a parent did deliberately withhold love from a child, "dragging him up" instead of bringing him up.

Such a mother or father is obviously in need, of some kind of professional help or therapy. Perhaps the parent might have had an emotional or problem before the child was born; and now, on top of the previous trouble, having to cope with the intricate problems of raising a child may be too much for a parent. 1871 Kins Features Syndicate, Inc.)

In the book "Against the Celestial Prophets," Luther wrote-(quote) "Indeed, If Karlstadt were to write further about the Sabbath, Sunday would have to give way, and the Sabbath-that Is to say, Saturday-must be kept holy." Luther was writing about the Sabbath day vs. Sunday. Did Karlstadt observe the sabbath, and not Sunday? D.H.

South Roxana. A. As near as I can find, Karlstadt observed Sunday as the Sabbath and not Saturday. The confusion arrises from the quote from Luther which is out of context with the rest of the work. Through a careful reading of this text (Luther's Works 40:94) we find that Luther was critical of Karlstadt's' stand on destruction Of images (Karlstadt thinks are evil and Luther does not) and on the observance of the Sabbath (Karlstadt thinks that Sunday should- be kept as a sacred, day of worship and to be distinquished from the other days of the week while Luther believes "that there shall be a daily sabbath in the New Testament, with no difference as time," After attempting to prove Karlstadt wrong he pokes fun at him for wanting to make Jews out of Christians.

Luther further says: "He would truly make.us..Jews in all things, so that we also would have to be circumcised, etc." Karlstadt did not teach circumcision either. This is just Martin Luther's way of being cute. If you have questions, send them to Mister Answer Man, care of Alton Evening Telegraph.

DEAR ANN: You are 100 per cent right in your answer to "Ohio Screamer." Nagging wives are horrible. If there is anything worse than a nagging wife it's a nagging husband.

But, strangely enough, we hear very little about THEM. The Nag is almost always assumed to be a woman. married a nagger and I can you what it's like. It's like having a buzzing fly in your ear at all times. The Nagger's pattern is the same.

He looks for small things that need to be done or aren't done to his then he picks, picks, picks, repeats, goes on and on: "Why didn't you? Why don't you? Why haven't you? When will you?" This keeps up until everyone in the family wishes he'd get lockjaw. Several months ago I figured a way to escape. I bought a small transistor radio and now when he starts nagging I turn it on and carry it with me. It's a lifesaver. Incidentally, I enjoy your radio program.

Best of luck. OMAHA W. H. READER DEAR OMAHA: Thanks for the suggestion and the good wishes. I appreciate both.

DEAR ANN: Your advice to Preston to "take the diamond ring back to the jeweler and get a refund or credit" was terrible. No jeweler of decent reputation would sell used merchandise. Do you know of ANY store that would accept an item purchased four years ago? A better answer would have been to take the diamond back to the jeweler and have it remounted for himself or his mother. Consider this letter A BLAST FROM. BILLINGS DEAR BLAST: Ouch! Here's another one Omaha: DEAR ANN: I am about ten pounds heavier than I ough't to be and it's a battle to stay away from footts I like to eat.

I'm beginning to think it's my father's fault. Is this possible? He comments on every forkful that goes into my mouth. If we are in a restuarant he calls my attention to the diet special. Once he slapped my hand (half jokingly) when I reached for a piece of cake. I didn't take it because I was embarrassed, but after dinner I sneaked into the kitchen and ate two huge pieces to get even.

I realize this is childish and I am only hurting myself, but what can I do about it? Should I tell him? BIG BERTHA DEAR BERT: No. I'LL tell him. All you need to do is hand him this column. DEAR DAD: In your effort to help your daughter lose weight you are driving her to eat more. I hope you and thousands of other parents who are concerned about Overweight children will get it through your heads that nagging never took an ounce off anybody.

warning, scolding, shaming, threatening and ridiculing are totally ineffective. The most helpful thing you can do is keep quiet except to praise your daughte'r when signs of weight loss are evident.

However much lift is needed, it will be made to come from beneath the cups as is proper. Too, wider straps cushioned with light padding are another comfort possibility. Once you have the right bra, ridges begin to fade. You can hasten the process and pretty the scene generally by massaging daily with rich hand or body lotion. The collarbone problem is not so quickly solved, but it is nonetheless soluble.

You can feel the following routine at work to plump those.bones: With a strong leather belt in hand, sit tailor-fashion on floor. Hold belt so hands are 12 inches apart, extend arms forward at shoulder level, and snap belt taut. By bending elbows into waist, touch belt to chest, hold 5 counts, and return arms to extended position. Repeat 20 times with tension.
