THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1913. <?ONDOCTt» * MISS LIZZIE O. THOMAS) CHAT. »r* now until Christmas we will see startling announcements of how many dayg till Christmas. Shoppers will be ad monished to get their lists filled and “avoid the rush.” Many have been grad ually collecting and some have gone so far as to have the things bought ana wrapped. Others revel in the excitement of doing" things in those last moments. But there are more who would ‘ just ove" to buy now if there was any money on hand. There’s the rub, at the very ast minute things will be “cut out,” as the average slang user would say, and he money used for Christmas presents. I wonder if that plan would not work as a ell in any other month as in December? Others there are who are pinching oft i little every month and hope by Christ mas to be able to buy certain things for certain loved ones, and, alas, there will be many whose purses will not even al low a tiny toy for the little one eagerly expecting a visit from Santa Claus. ». don’t like to hear of any one being dis appointed at any time, out it is indeed a pitiful thing to look Upon the face of a disappointed child. I hope that more hand-made things will be used this year and that even now busy ^lingers are preparing their gifts so that at the last minute there will be time, talents and perhaps money to be qsed m helping less fortunate ones. Among the blessings showered on me during a busy life, 1 count the acquaintance of half a dozen girls who have, always been ready to help those whose money came late and necessitated late shopping or those whose time was so tilled that they hau literally to snatch a few moments to buy their presents and had no time to put them up daintily. There is no talent more to be. appreciated than that of un obtrusive helpfulness. This question of how many days till the holidays has absorbed the children for some time, the college boys and girls ire also counting their days. And who •an say that Father Time’s scythe will not mow some of us ere the year is out: 1 don't intend this as a scare nor to bc ,ised as a text, but you and I can call to mind more than one friend, or rela- ;ive who last year added to our pleasure md even now is with us no more. Should our time come ere the door of the new year is opened will we be ready? I don't mean will* wo be ready to leave our loved ones here, truly the spirit may be wan ing, will we have our affairs in such or der that another may step in and find no tangle, nor loose ends in our affairs? 1 heard a woman say, not a month ago, that in her sister’s desk she found a let ter telling the family just what to do with her modest possessions and a list of her books with the reason why they were divided among certain people. These things do not take one minute from the length of one’s life yet how seldom do any, save those with real estate, bonds or taxable property leave walls. I read the will of a very rich man not long ago and one thing that was especially fine, I Giought, was the fact that he excused his debtors. They were not to make any re turns to his estate. Doubtless be had lent money that he knew would be hard to return and to keep them from morti fication he cancelled the indebtedness of all. And I have an idea that when he stood before his Judge and gave an account of his stewardship of a great wealth much was forgiven him on account of his char ities, his unostentatious mode of giving. In my daily reading I came across this beautiful passage. It is ro like what these passing days have said to me that I want you to read it frequently and let’s all see if we cannot make it ours from now on; “Time is like a great bird flying ever onward to his nest among the I mountains of eternity. The little min utes make the soft white down on his breast—the countless busy minuter that rest not until they are closely folded under the wings of time, to be borne away into the trackless past. The days and weeks and years gather about him; they form his plumage, and each and every one is eager for flight. What are you giving into Time’s keeping to bear away forever? What you give will never return. Let it be something sweet and beautiful that shall be put away for safe-keeping, under the wings of the Internal Years.” CRAMPS, HEADACHE, BACKACHE, Yield to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.— “I was always tired and weak and my housework was a drag. I was irreg ular, had cramps so bad that I would have to lie down, al so a distressed feel ing in lower part of back, and headache. My abdomen was sore and I know I had organic inflam mation. “Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier have helped me wonderfully. I don’t have Evelyn Dare has given the names of the two whose letters helped her most As she said, there were a great many thoughtful letters that showed sympa thy and an insight remarkable. There was an absence of flippancy that was quite refreshing. The first named by Evelyn receives the book “Their Yester days,” and The Journal goes a year to the other successful competitor. Will they please send me a card telling me exactly how to address them? A friend who has enjoyed the letter* and can’t decide between half a dozen says that she will send The Journal a year for the best letter written on any other sub ject by any of the competitors who fail ed this time. She believes that people who write as well as these did should not write one letter and sink into si lence. The fortunate writer shall se lect any book not over $1.50 in price. These letters must come within the next two weeks and should not be over 500 words, 300 is really better. She seems to think that all the writers thought of many things that they want ed to say, things which were off the subject to be discussed in the letter to Evelyn Dare. * .Edna Hill’s letter opens a subject that is inexhaustible. The first time I had “Their Yesterdays” I only read a very little of it, but it was the mood that I was in. There are times when 1 find Dicken's simplicity very tedious, and there are moods in which anything that he writes is a joy. I think that most of us are like that. It is not good to read along one line too much, one gets warped mentally, so Macaulay essays, Carlyle’s “Sartor Resartus,” Jerome’s “Tea Table Talk” and John Kendrick ,1 . T o11 Bang’s “The Genial Idiot” are right those pains any more and I am all right where x can easily find them when I now. There are a great many women open my bookcase.

YOUR FALL SUIT Hand Tailored CUuy Linings Millionaire Trimmings Swell-Cat JUST LISTEN TO THIS! WHAT SAY YOU? Dear Miss Thomas: Your discussion now in regard to what is to become of old maid teachers after they can teach no more is so interesting that I cannot refrain from having a word or two to say. Some have already said one thing and some another, but I im agine they all secretly think the proper way to “taper off” is to get married. 1 think so, too. But I also think that people who have nevfer been married are just us capable of solving this problem as the others. They have only been married a time or two at most, and can not judge other people by themselves. We cau learn more by observing humanity than we can by our own narrow experience. But the very reason 1 wished to euter into this discussion is because I am a teacher who taught l'or seventeen years and then married. like Jimmie and others, a woman actually needs some one to look up to and protect her. My “prince charming” came along in the shape of a strong, stalwart widower. Natur ally I thought he was the very one, for he had been married before and knew how to treat a wife. He had children, but my long years in the school room assured me that I could get along nicely with them, and they needed a mother’s care. He told me that he wauted me for his queen, and that all I would have to do would be to direct the work and train the children. I almost purred at the thought of doing such congenial work. So ■■■ EH2A '■■■ we were married and in three days 1 found E9® that he only wanted me for the family drudge. PLgjy I did every bit of the drudgery and cooking n H| for a large family and had no time to train the children. He did not want them to be wm ■■ trained. I stood it about six months and then ™ ™ ^ left. \ How about that? Mado to You* Mommuro 1 sometimes think people and horses are very much alike. We had an old mare one time $30 to $40 would not buy a who was a very gentle animal. The women better one, but you get it for could drive her and work with her just like nothing. Not a cent to pay. i the men, and she was gentle with children. Simply wear it, tell your friends ' But one morning we went out to the stable and there was a pretty little colt with her. She had lost all of her good nature and seemed to tnink that everything we tried to do for her or for the colt was done to harm her progeny. She fought so that for a whole week we had to feed her through the cracks of the fence. Some people are the same. They may be good to begin with, but just let them become parents and they become so wrapped up in their children that they forget that other peo ple have any pure motives at all. Have you not found this true very often? Now I want to say a few words to old maid teachers. Whether you ever expect to get married or not, try to save a little money. You will be certain to need it, and you will perhaps see the time when it is your beet . friend. If you can save only; $25 a year, do where you got it and make 10 to 15 a Day taking their orders.

AMERICAN WOOLEN MILLS CO. iMfrioy cwcaw Had there been any doubt as to what had become of Moses, that doubt was soon dispelled, with the command which came from God to Joshua; “Moses, my servant, is dead,” he said, “therefore, arise, go over this Jordon, thou and all his people, into the land which l do give to them, even unto the children of Israel.” Joshua may have well shrunk from taking up the work which his devoted master had laid down. It is always difficult to take up another man’s work, and carry it to a successful conclusion, and this difficulty is in creased in proportion to the prominence and success of the man who is to be followed. Moses had been such a con spicuous personage, he had been so ex tremely prominent in the eyes of the people and of the world, that it was no easy task which Joshua assumed. The people would unconsciously compare him with Moses, and there were not many men that could bear such comparison. But Joshua had certain qualities which made his work a success from the start. There is very good reason to be lieve, from tradition, that he had been a commander in the Egyptian army. You may recall that three months after leav ing Egypt, when the Amalekites /ought against Israel for the possession of the springs at the oasis of Feiran, it was Joshua who was chosen by Moses as the commanding general of the Israelit- ish forces. A man without any military experience whatever would have found himself at a total loss in the face of such a foe as the Amalekites were, but Joshua, with the aid of Moses’ prayers, fought furiously and successfully. Not only was his military experience a valuable asset to him now, but more so was his association with Moses through all of these years. It was he who, as Moses’ attendant, went up into the mountain with him and waited during the forty days and forty nights in which Moses was in communion with God, when the law was given to him. It was Joshua who heard the noise of the peo ple as they worshipped the golden calf beneath, and whose twined ear recog nized the note that was different from that of either the victors or the van quished. He had been a constant attend ant of Moses, and had caught something of the fervor and faith of his great master. He had watched .him closely, and as his understudy had developed along the very lines which were intended for the leader ,of this people at this j .time. Joshua was one of the two spies who made the favorable report. While he was not so outspoken as Caleb, there was a firmness about his conviction and a fervor about liis faith which even then was refreshing. He recognized the diffi culties ate truly as any of the other spies, but he had faith enough to take God into account. He believed that He would do what He had promised. He had been called to assume this of fice some months before Moses’ death, so that the command which came to him now from Jehovah was not unexpected, He was prepared to take up the work His preparation was not a matter of a moment. but had been progressing through the years which had passed. GOD’S COMMANDS. Let us note carefully what it wag God commanded Joshua. 1 think a careful study of the nine verses of the first chapter, which have been selected for our lesson today, will show this: That God commanded Joshua to be aggres sixe; to be strong; to be courageous; to be obedient; to be thorough; to be thoughtful. He was to go and lead the people over the River Jordan, into the land which God had given him. He wa; to be strong and courageous in spite of the fact that the people who would op pose his advances were established in the fastnesses of the country, were war like, and wep f e prepared to resist every attack upon their homes. He was to be obedient, obeying the law which God had given to Moses and which Moses had given to him. He was to be thorough, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left; but doing all the law, not neglecting one part, even though it might seem to him to be trivial. And with all of this, he was to be thoughtful. He was to meditate upon this law day and night. His life was to be controlled by its teachings; in determining his course of action at any time, he was to be guided by what it said; and to do this, he must have it in his mind constantly This was not an easy task. To take up the work which Moses had laid down at his death was an easy matter com pared with this task, which God set before Joshua. GOD’S PROMISES. But while God imposed upfcn Joshua a difficult task, he did not leave Joshua to work out the matter alone or without enouragement. He gave rigid commands, it is true, but He coupled them with marvelous promises. He promised him possession, power, pros perity, and His own presence. Every foot of ground upon which his feet trod should be his possession to be divided to the children of Israel. Such marvel ous power was to be his, that no man wculd be able to stand against him Coupled with the courage which God gave to Joshua was the fear which He inspired in the hearts *of the Canaan- ites, his enemy. Some one has said that the wicked flee when no man pur- sueth, but they flee a good deal faster when a good man is after them. Con science makes cowards of us all. The Canaanites were so wicked that their very sin made them cowardly, but Joshua’s courage, coupled with their cowardice, made him invincible. God promised him prosperity upon con dition that he would meditate upon His word day and night, and keep its com mandments. It is strange that the only two places in the Bible where the word “success” is mentioned are In the sev enth and eighth verses of this first chap- that and you will be very glad. If you marry a widower you will be certain to uecd some money. Even if he is rich, he will want to spend his money on his children and will not care whether you liave any comfort or not. If you marry a poor man you will need it so you can help to make him comfortable. If I had not had a very few dollars of my own that I had saved from teaching I could not have gotten the bare necessities oif life while I was married. If you do not marry you will need money. Besides people will respect you more if they know you arc trying' tv save something. If a man is in a terrible hurry to marry, and will not wait, saying he needs some one in his home right, now, why, you tell him to get some one else, for that is a sure sign that he wants you for a family drudge. Keep on teaching rather than to be a family drudge, for teaching is far more pleasant work, apd you do get a little gratitude for teaching and none for doing' drudgery for a ready-made family—and, then, you have your vacation. If a woman is working for a man who loves her and respects her it is quite a different thing. If you can get him, marry a bachelor every time. He may be a little slow about mak ing up his mind, but he lias high ideals as to how a wife ought to be treated. If you are poor, then marry a poor man. Happiness depends upon coming in contact with good people, anyway, after all. It is true it is hard to sort out good people, for “there is so much good In the worst of us ami so much bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to talk about the rest of u».” But the natures of good people are grated upon very much by seeing tilings in others not ex actly right. A real good, consciencious woman cannot love a villain, and neither can a vil lain love a good woman. The natures are too antagonistic. If you have any notion of marrying a wid ower be sure he is a good man. If he is a good man lie no doubt will treat his wife right even if Ids heart is like a piece of boiled beef and his disposition changed on account of bis children. I think a “grass” widower” would be far preferable to a “sod” widower,” for he could not be comparing you witli his first wife to show off your inferiority. At least you would be armed with defense. MRS. WIGGINS. A BOOK LOVER. Dear Miss Thomas: I have just laid down “Conisten,” which I have been reading for more than a week amid a multiude of duties. To tell you that I laid it aside with only two chapters unfinished will be to admit that I am not as engrossed with it as I have bo>'n with some books. Last night I finished “At the Foot cf the Rainbow.” It is one of the oddest stories I ever read, and its pathos ap pealed to me, byt I dare say “Coniston” is considered the finer of the two. And it is good. Some of the character-drawing is won derful, and Its humor is real humor. Margaret laughed aloud as I read her some of the passages. Now, I want to take issue with you about “Their Yesterdays.” I read it last summer and did not like it at all. Of course 1 could not fail to see some truth nnd beauty in some of it. but the book as a whole is not inter esting to nie. Its very simplicity seems af- THICK, GLOSSY HI FREE FROM DANDRUFF Girls! Try it! Your hair gets soft, fluffy a,nd luxuriant at once. If you care for heavy hair, that g-listens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable softness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine. Just one application doubles the beau ty of your hair, besides it immediately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff This destructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength arid its very life, and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine at any drug store or toilet* counter; apply a little as directed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it—no dandruff—no itching scalp and no more falling hair—you must use Knowlton’s Danderine. If eventually why not now?-—(Advt.) fected,. overdrawn. Pardon\ my disagreeing with yon, I am influenced by my own one-sided temperament. I have always wanted to put my arms around your neck when you quoted Dickens nnd showed in so many ways that you love him. There is nobody like him. Was ever such books as his? I have often- marveled that human pen could have such magic. i nave been reading parts of the “Old Curiosity Shop” to a little girl, child as she Is she is touched and won by the genius of$ it. I, won’t mention “Little Dorrett” tor fear J shan’t be able to quit again. It is remarkable how we can go in and out in our daily lives—eat and drink as others, oven talk and laugh, when it all seems so flat nnd tame as to be well-nigh intoler able, and the heart n lump of ache. I dare say most of my friends would think, if they thought about it nt all, that T am an ordi narily happy, contented person. Have you read the November number of the Pictorial Review? In it Is a short article entitled “When Women Love Like Men.” “Them’s my sentiments” exactly concerning love and they are so well expressed. I do hope that The Journal readers will ease Evelyn Parr’s pains. I shall not try, for the subject has been treated on all sides, and more than Evelyn can find help -if they will apply the treatment. My words halt nnd stum ble so that I have torn up many letters in deep disgust. For fear this will meet a similar fate I shall close, hoping those who have written to Eve lyn Dare will come again to gladden the hearts of the many silent members of this great family. Sincerely, EDNA HILL. EVELYN ANNOUNCES THE WINNERS. Dear Miss Thomas: I was touched by the ready response to m.v inquiry in the House hold. it made me realize anew that “one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” I am going to ask you to help me judge the letters. For the ones that "seemeth to me best,’* the ones that gave the solution best suited to my particular temperament, might not be the ones to’ appeal to others. You have been trained *in judging literary things. Each letter printed offered some good sugges tions, while several offered practically the same ones, making It hard to choose between them. Some of them showed that these women have' thought earnestly about such tilings, nnd have tried earnestly to find out for themselves what things in life are really worth while. 1 am glad that so few advocated marriage without love. That has never been an alterna tive with me. Th«* two letters that sunk deepest into my consciousness and calmed me most were those from Ecylica Reid and Sarnli. Rend them again, everybody. T hope nobody so misjudged my letter as to 4hink that I was “ninin” on account of mv single state. I fully appre ciate my freedom, but having it, 1 wanted to know how to make it yield me most, nnd help me help others' One woman struck the keynote when she said. “It requires more to content some people than others.” YTs, indeed, some of us are “never happy unless we are miserable.” nnd such folks are hopeless. .Cordially, EVELYN S. DARE. HERE’S HOPING. Dear Miss Thomas: Please let me in for a few moments, so I can have a chat with Eve lyn Dare. I am afraid she had the blues "awful bad” when she wrpte that letter. In fact. I am afraid she felt like she had not a friend in the world. While T have never been a school teacher, T think such work for a woman is mighty nice and ple-sant, nnd being an old maid is no disgrace. b-*c an honor. Sometimes a girl, an orphan and having no home whatever, and no way of making a living for herself, might find some excuse for want ing to marry and have* a homo of her own. Evelyn Dare says she chaperons young people sometimes, and that means just being useful, my friend. Let me .say right bore that is what makes us happy ^in this world—rtv happiest moments are when I know I’ve done, some thing to make some one happy. Sometimes it’s very little I do to make some one happy, but little things count in thin world as well as the big on*'s and. oh. how my heart beats for toy when I know T have made some lone 1 v heart happy, and T know a lot. of readers will say the pleasure they get out of life is in helping others. To make someone else happy we should forget about ourselves and think what can we do for tho others. ■ No. no. Evelyn Dare. I would never marry a widower with a. set of rebellious children, for I am afraid you would spend the rest of your life in wishing you had remained an old maid. Those beautfTul days make one feel like stay ing out doors nil the time, nnd 1. too, dread when winter is here and I will have to re main indoors. But it will have to be pretty disagreeable weather for me to be in long, nt a time, for I do love to be out. Evelyn Dare talks like she teaches in a very hack woods place, and that sir* has no one to 'isit. My adfioe to her would be to go occa sionally with the children to see their parents nnd help in every way she can to make every body her friend, and then she will forget about tile “humdrum life,” and think what a beau tiful world this is in which to live. Mako everyone hapy you come in contact with, speak a kind word nnd leave a loving smile for them to remember. I bellpve it was Busy Bee that said, “Let’s turn over a new leaf and do better.” That is good advice, so let us begin right now. T can’t answer Evelyn Dare’s let ter in full, so I answer it as well as I can. But all you good writers come and let’s console her. With befit wishes to Miss Thomas and all. Sincere*y, BLOISB.

Experts contend that “the longest way around often may be the shortest and most eco nomical way home” and decry the nat ural tendency to build straight roads whenever they must breast heavy grades. “According to the testimony of farm ers consulted,” the bureau declares, “where a horse might be able to pull 4,000 pounds on a level road it would have difficulty in pulling 3,000 pounds up a steep hill. The size of the load therefore tends to be measured by the grade of the largest hill on the road to market.” 209,076 PERSONS CAME TO U. S. IN SEPTEMBER (By Associated Press.)

Powell, of this town, authorizes the following for publication: “1 had terribly nervous, trembling and smothering spells, and became so weak 1 could hardly get around. Would almost fall asleep dur ing a common conversation, and became breathless after the first dozen words. I thought I had lung trouble, bur found It was all caused from womanly weakness. I then commenced using Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and the first bottle gave me relief. Am now feeling fine, and just as wide awake and as lively as anyone. I know I would have been a wreck had it not been for Cardui, and I do not think enough can be said in favor of this great woman’s medicine. I gained more strength from-one bottle than any thing else I ever tried. I recommend it to all women or girls who are without the glow of health on their cheeks.” These nervous, trembly, smothering spells which Mrs. Powell describes arc very common symptoms of womanly trouble, and should be given the proper treatment to prevent a general break down. For over fifty years Cardui, the wom an's tonic, has been building up the weak, nervous women to strength and health. It will do the same for you. if given a fair trial. Get a bottle of Cardui today.
