THE STORY MARIAN SWANN i Chapter 35X5151 Dr. Steele seemed to take no personal interest in his far out country cases. 1 heard some of the people talking - , and they said ■ it was hard for poor folks to ever get him to go out on a case, but * Warren would go to the most pov erty-stricken hut, even though he knew he’d never get a penny. Mrs. Seth Gray got along splen didly. She told me afterward shed never done so well. Fortunately, I’d studied cooking for the sick, and though she was too superstitious to eat of many dishes I’d mention that other women in like circum stances did eat and thrive on, she was afralu. One day Gray brought a rabbit to the house. "“I wouldn’t taste that rabbit for anything! They say a woman would gd wild like a rabbit if she et a bite of one under a month,” she told me.

I * ; A visit to the laboratroy where * this successful remedy is made im- presses even the casual looker on with the reliability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman’s ills. *• Over 350.‘J0V pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the rear when their natural juices Mnd . medicifiai substances are at them ‘ | best. The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal prop ertiek from these herbs. Every utensil and tank that comes < in contact with the medicine is uterilized and as a final precaution /n cleanliness the medicine is pas teurised and sealed in sterile bottles. It is the wonuerful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its prepara tion which has made this famous medicine so successful in z the treat ment of female ills. The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound which we are continually nublishing attest to its virtue. * lAdvt.l WATCOJLWp BIKG FREJS Eiab raer.’t eoJ * s(«cs.

I OLD AGE STARTS WITH YOUR KIDNEYS tjy.tence says that old ago begins witn weakened kidneys and digestive ' organs. This being true.

Do not wait until old age or disease i she’d made for her child stung me to the quick. None of its outei gar ments were solid white. Its flan nels were coarse and red to boot. It’s dresses were long and clumsy; mostly dotted with blue and red polka dots, or others were solid blue or red calico. I thought of my own baby’s dain ty whjfdrobe, and 1 wondered if I could z part with a few pieces. So before I left I said, ’’Promise me to let me know before you have him christened.” She promised. It had been a difficult case lor me. I had to use utmost tact in or der to win them over. Finally, I felt I had succeeded. I felt like I was taking something that didn’t belong to me when he went to pay me for staying, but I knew their pride was the real stuff, so I ac cepted only two dollars per week, laughingly telling them I didn't de serve that much- I’d learned so much. 1 resolved to use that very money for them later on. I simply couldn’t use it on my self. The neighboring women ceased to drop in with their varied assort ments' of advice; they saw none of it being put into practice, since the parents had had such a lesson and Seth told the women that here after they’d obey doctor’s orders and nobody else’s. Poor - Airs. Gray would be worn out after the long visits and inces sant chatter. The baby slept beside her. I knew it would be a better baby alone in a bed to itself, but there was no other place for it, and somehow, she seemed so happy to have it by net side, I didn’t have the heart to refuse he?- She regarded me' in a new light after she learned I’d been a wife and mother. She watched me as I bathed her child regularly every morning, and the affection I bestowed on it she saw and understood—as only mother’s can The bathing was a new thing to them, but since it didn’t kill it, after a few days I could see they were reconciled th have it bathed just as thousands of the best babies and the healthiest are bathed regu larly from head to heel. Only they hnd ilever known nor even heard about any such before. Their world being confined within their own nar row sphere, behind the hills. She even agreed to nurse her child every two .hours and no oftener, as the doctor said to do. Hence, it did not cry from over-feeding, nor did it colic ever so often, but was a very good baby, considering an things. March, 29th. I’ve had no time for writing. The influenza swept over the coun try and I’ve nursed at various places. Oftentimes whole families were stricken down and some would die. It is like a plague. I’ve come in contact with Dr. Steele quite ofte.i. He’s a widower, and .has only one little boy. Lives tn the house with his mother. Dr. Steele, I’ve found, is inclined to be flirtatious. At times I’ve been in* dignant to learn he seemed more in terested in me than in his patients! He’s quite charming—when he wants to be. But he jus’t hasn’t the "doc tor’s heart.” He doesn’t take that liersonal interest in patients that a physician ought to take. CHAPTER XXXm Though I’ve been in many and va ried homes, and have nursed pa tients of Dr. Steele’s and Dr, War ven’s, and also of other physicians, and have stood by when death Came to snatch souls away from loved ones; have witnessed griefs that were heart-rcnuihg in the extreme, and thus far have escaped the dread ful epidemic. I’m going to set down herein but few special instances that have happened to me. Dr. Steele often suggested to me that I was taking a foolish risk; that I in danger of losing my life "or Others who meant absolutely nothing to me! Isut I never tvas afraid. Others had paid, and were still paying the price; I was no bet ter than they. k Many times Dr. Steele refused to go out on cases: especially in the dead of night. He could frame up the most amazing excuses imagina ble. t learned he drank a good deal, and oftentimes he was too drunk to go out cn a cr.Se. lively physician was literally run to death, but no one stood up better nor more cheer fully, than did Warren. Once, seeing him almost dead on his feet from exhaustion and loss of sleep, when we met together in a hbme of the very poor. I questioned. “Why do you do it? You know you’ll never get any pay; you're killing yourself. They couldn’t get any other doctor, you know—-and you came when you should be in bed.” To which he smilingly replied: “Some day, if you live long enough, you may learn there’s pay that’s better than gold; I love to know the poor feel free to call on me when others refuse to go!” And his eyes lit up with a warm, bright fire I’d never seen before! Just a moment and I’d glimpsed a big man’s soul, and my heart felt small and mean. 1 have settled down for good.

GA- TUESDAY, DECEMBER fS. 1910. M«s.f ELTONS TALKS CONDUCTED BY FELTON Slow I'iusJx ansi Ability Wins A New York city friend has for warded to mo a printed account of i the progress and success of a citi zen of California—- who started out thirty years ago—without capital and with inefficient labor—but who for ten years has owned and operated over four millions acres of land — for grazing and agricultural pur poses. My Ncjv York friend marked a paragraph ft>r my especial attention, which runs thus: “The Marshall family of Maryland has long been conspicuous in American history and this E. 3. Marshall, is closely relat ed to the Marshalls of Marshall -Hail and another of his ancestry was Humphrey Marshall, who gave to the public many years ago the first great American botanical gardens near Philadelphia. It is the same Mar shall grit and enterprise—in another generation and under more favorable circumstances, has realized for the grandson, E. J. Marshall, his grand son’s dream, of a vast domain dedi cated to the peaceful and honorable use of raising food for the multitude as in the old Roman adage, civiliza tion begins and ends with the plow.” My own grandmother-—and I am one of her namesakes, owned Mar shall Hall —o nthe Potomace —before she removed to Georgia In 1805-6 — and my personal inteerst in E. J. Marshall, of Pasadena, Cal., centers around the relationship of tills great Pacific slope farmer. He was reported to be the largest farmer in our nation—nine years ago, according to the records of the U. t S. agricultral department of the gov ernment. This statement was copied into the Los Anglese Examiner, De cember 25. 1910. E. ,T. Marshall, was born in Baltimore, Md., but spent many years of his early life in Texas. He was a farmer, rancher and planter long before he became a bank er. Marshall counts’- in the state of Illinois is named for his grandfather. I copy here one more paragraph from Los Angeles Examiner.: “There is only one other farmer in America who can be called in the same class with E. J. Marshall and that is Col onel James M. Smith, of Smithsonia, Ga... and Mr! Marshall’s actual farm ing average at China. Cal.; is from 7,000 to 10 000 in excess of the Smith plantation.” Decayed products, not the cold pack method of canning, are responsi ble for the recent deaths of five peo pie in Detroit who ate ripe olives, say scientists tn the United States department of agriculture. They also say that if people would throw away or refuse to eat food that smells spoiled they would be insured against poisoning by the bacillus botpulinus, the bug that has come into the lime light recently through its nefarious behav or. This organism when pres ent in canned food is the -.ruse o'" ac tive decay. ‘Slacker indeed!” I thought vaguely troubled. Then ha went on “You ask me why • I do the work I do, knowing there’ll be no pay. For ex perience, perhaps—and other things. If it docs kill me, I’ve not died in vain I hope. I’m not better than the thousands Who gave their lives across the seas.” Impulsively, i stretched forth my hand, appeal ingly. “Oh! forgive me the things I said to you that day. I didn’t know—-I —• I stammered, ashamed and repent ant. “I believe you did make some rath er sarcastic remarks—once—you're forgiven—'twas nftthing. Most folks make blunders like that because they didn’t know! And, maybe you’ll for give me the remarks I flung at you about your knitting—perhaps? You see, I didn't know. I've watched you carefully all these months, and now it’s my turn to ask “"Why do you do it?” You, a woman of refinement, and you’ve been used to a different mode of living. I’m sure. Why do you do it?” he repeated slowly. I smiled wistfully. Looked up to meet his straightforward, earnest gaze seeking to sweep the depths of my soul. I looked away, beyond him, and softly replied, “For experience!” thus using his own words he’d pre viously applied to himself. “And other things,” I added. Afterward, at our chance meetings at the bed ride of the sick, our eyes flashed a signal of a deeper, surer understand ing one of the other; but our work went on the same. We had no more ntimate chats until later, at Burnt Oak Ridge. It Was fitting we should e.fow to "know one another better there, of all places on earth! I'd. worked hard and constantly; had to rest or suffer a breakdown, so I rested one week at the Greer House in town. Then Dr. Warren was Called out on a serious case at Burnt Oak Ridge. One evening, at supper, the 'boarders discussed the lull in the unsual amount of illness that had prevail'd over the land. Dr. Warren was on time for the meal; an unusual occurrence. He remarked that he had a serious case at Burnt Oak Ridge. ‘ EXTRAORDINARY XMAS OFFER 'beautiful, Useful Gifts, Which Will Be Appreciated by Mother, Wife, Sister cr Sweetheart.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME Here comes a trouble-heartfd girl, aged seventeen. I was corresponding with a boy aged twenty-one. He seemed to care a great deal for me, and I loved him. He lives in a far off country, but we met at his uncle’s, when he was on a visit. He went home and began writing to me. He, wrote me a letter one day and mar ried the next day.' Do you think he treated me right? He wrote me a letter and asked me to answer right away, for he said he was sick, and wanted to hear from me. I wrote to him, and he got the letter after he was married. Which was to blame, him or me? My mother and father don't treat me right—l work in the field all day, and do all sorts of work, and get nothing- for it, only vzhat I eat and something to wear. My mother said she- was not going to ,‘get me any thing to wear. Would you adv.se me to marry? I don’t much want to marry but my friends tell me that if they were in my place they would marry and get out of trbuble at home. A GIRL IN DEEP TROUBLE. ANSWER: The boy did not behave quite as he Should have. You chose to take him seriously, and have only yourself to thank for your embarrassment. You are too young for love affairs, had you must make up your mind not to take every man who smiles at you, seriously. There’s an old adage about “out oi 1 the frying-pan into the fire.” That’s just what you woui' 1 be doing; if von left home atjd r.iarried. That’s the silliest way of “escaping- trouble at home"’ th.tt one could easily imagine Make up your mind to be jus. ;s pteasYnt and helpful as you m, do your work with a gob ’trace, and I’m sure that things sVill be more pleasant for you t home. If J’ou will read th letters published in this depart ?pnt, from time to time, from i oor little girls your age, who marl-ied to get away from home Cm sure you will think a long time before you try any such ‘hing. I am a girl thirteen years old. Am I too young to gow !th the boj’S? I have several “specials” and a caller about every night. Is it any harm to put your arms around a boy's nock after you kiss them? I alwayb kiss my boy friends good night. Is fourteen too young to marry? 1 am engaged to be marrijl next year to axboy who is fourteen now. We love 'each other dearly and can't wait any longer than that. Is it all light for me to accept gifts from other boys except my fiance? ANSWER: You are too young for “specials" ahd callers every night. You are a very silly lit ' tie girl, to kiss your boy-friends. Don’t you know that they lose respect for you when you permit them to kiss you. The idea of your being engaged to marry next year to a boy who is now fourteen. You are, at the very least, seven years too young to rnerry. Better, interest yourself in other things, if you don’t want to ruin your whole life. I am a sixteen-year-old girl ii> love With a boy eighteen. Is there any harm in boys and girls going together at my age? I have known this boy ten years. He is a very nice boy and good-looking. I am five feet three inches’ tali and weigh ninety-two pounds. Do 1 weigh enough for my heighth? What colors suit me best, as 1 have fair complexion, brown eyes and hair? What will make the nails White - : Is there any harm in corresponding with a boy? What is good foi blackheads? Which is more stylist? thin or thick eyebrows? Would you advise me to gull thorn out? Is pen ciling the eyebrows harmful to them? A SEEKER OF ADVICE. Answer—While it is perfectly proper for girls your age to have boy friends, it distinctly is* hot proper for ytni to play gt., sweethearts. If you have known this boy ten years, I should • think that he would be a very gnod friend. Your weight and height is in good proportion. If your com plexion is ,good, almost any coin should be becoming to you. The most “stylish eyebrows” are nat ural ones. There’s nothing moi-g j unattractive than barbered eye brows! I am coming to yen for advice. I am a girl of twenty-two and I rjnri deeply in love with a young man oftwenty-seven. I love .him dearly rind I thought he loved me until about two months ago. Now he told me if I would be to him as he wanted me to he would promise me wo would marry soon. Well, I did everything I could to please him. We have been engaged for about two years and there is no doubt that I love him With all my heart. I know he does not go with any other girls and I don’t believe he loves anyone as he has told me he loved me, but it seems now that he doesn’t care as much for me. He says there is soencthlng troubling him but he will not tell me What it is. Now please advise me what to do as I don’t see how I can ever give him up for I don’t think I can ever be happy without him. Any advise will be appreciated.—N. C. GIRL. ANSWER: Perhaps this young man feels a bit too sure of you. Don’t quarrel with him, but have an honest, straightforward talk with him. and see if you can’t straighten this tangle out. Be dignified in your talk, and rea sonable. But get the truth from Mm, Settle things some way. even if it me-ns that you part forever. Anything is better than your present uncertainty. I am coming to you for advice. I have black hair, blue eyes and dark skin and -I am eighteen years old. I am engaged to a. boy twenty-one years old. Are we old enough to marry, as my parents are not good to me. I want your best advice. I love this boy and he says he loves me. He says he can treat me better than I am being treated at home. He is a nice boy, has a nice family and a nice home. BLUE EYES. ANSWER —No. you are not old enough to rfiarry. The mere fact that your parents are not good to you is far from being suf* , flcient excuse to ruin your whole future by a hasty, thoughtless marriage at your age. Be pa tient and wait Until you are older. There Is always the hope that life will offer happiness through unexpected things. I am. a boy of sixteen. Am six feet high and weigh 150 pounds. Am I heavy enough for my height. Ev very body says I am large for my age. What do you think about it? I am going to .high and intend going to college as soon as I finish High school. lam in my third year and was put on honor roll for this month. I have been going with a girl for soma time but she has suddenly gone back on me. She will not have any thing to do with me and will hardly speak to me at all. What do you think could have been the matter? I did not do anything to offend her in anyway. In fact, I have the high est regard for her. I wrote her a letter of apology for anything which I might have done but have never received a reply. Please tell me what to do about it. Will appreciate your advice. ANXIOUS. ANSWER.- —If you are quite sure that you have done nothing to offend this girl, I wouldn’t worry any more about this. For she certainly owes you the right to know Why she has changed so suddenly. If she continues to act this way, I would simply find an other girl and stop worrying about this one. Your weight is alittle low for your height. But I wouldn’t mind that. It just promises you a splendid physique, when you are a man. Get plentj' of out door exercise, play games and strengthen your muscles. AUNT JULIA’S LETTER BOX My Dear Children: This ccld snap surely makes us think that Christmas is near and I’m wondering how nearly ready you are. I saw such an attractive bit of a gift the other day and I’m going to pass the idea along to you girls and you might bo nice ana make one for brother to give another sister or some girl friend. You take bits of cotton, that I saw was the absorbent kind, it must oe clean and fluffy, take a fluff of it. hold the end together and wind with a short piece of colored cotton thread, the mercerized kind, make a dozen of these puffs and put into a bag made of net, drawn up at the top with a piece ribbon to match the color of thread you use. Have the bag big enough not to crowd the puffs and the ribbon long enough to hang at the slue of the dressing case, you have an inexpensive, attractive, sanitary’ set of powder puffs. Hope this -will help some of you at the eleventh hour. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. Dear Aunt Julia: Move over and let an Alabama girl join your happy band of boys and girts.
