BACKACHE AND HEAVY FEELING Weak, Nervous, Restless Woman In Arkansas Hears of Cardui, Tries It and Is Greatly Benefited. Now Recommends It To Others Peach Orchard, Ark.—Mrs. Nonie High, who lives near here, states: “Sometime ago I began to have trou ble with my back. I would ache and I could hardly get up when down. I was so weak I would just drag around and did not feel like doing anything at all. I was so nervous I felt I could scream, and . . . such a heavy feeling I could not rest at all. It looked like I was going to get down in bed. . . . I heard of Cardui and thought I would try it and see what it would do for my case. After taking a few bottles I grew stronger . . . The bloated, heavy feeling left me. I wasn't so nervous, in fact, felt bet ter all over. I took twelve bottles and certainly was greatly benefited and can recommend it to any one as a tonic or builder. I often tell oth ers how it helped and strengthened me.” Cardui is a mild vegetable tonic, with no bad after-effects. Its ingre dients act in a helping, building way, on the womanly constitution. Ask your druggist. He knows about Cardui. Some druggists have sold it for forty years.—(Advt.) worry Resinol wiM probably clear away those pimples It is really surprising how a few days’ use of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap will improve most poor complex ions!

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. DOROTHY DIX’S TALKS Don’t Be a Discourager BY DOROTHY DIX The Highest Paid Woman Writer in the World A RE you a wet blanket? Are you one of those who x feel it to be your sacred duty to chill hope, and take the pep out of enthusiasm? When anyone broaches a plan to you do you pick it to pieces, and knock it down, and trample on it until it lies a little pile of broken rubbish at your feet? If anyone suggests going anywhere to you, do you raise so many objec tions that you take all the pleasure out of it before you even start? -f you are a discourager, stop be ing one. You are killing the joy of life for those about you. You are slaying the divine thi”~ in them that makes them able to achieve, and you are worse than the murderer who merely takes a man’s life. The measure of what we can do is just what we think we can do. Our faith in ourselves sets our limit. We cannot go one inch be yond that, and so when you destroy our self-confidence, and make us dis trustful of our ability, you wish fail ure upon us. We must sow in hope, if we reap success. It is only by keeping the goal constantly before our eyes, and believing with all our hearts that we have the strength to reach it, that giVes us the courage to sruggle and fight on. Dim that hope, weaken that faith and we give up, and sit down, and fold our hands, and say, what’s the use. The world is full of failures wfto would have been successes if they had not had the misfortune of hav ing a discourager in the family. Sometimes the wet blanket is a wife who ice water down her hus band’s back until he gets such cold feet he is afraid to move an inch out of the rut into which he has gotten, no matter how clearly he sees fortune beckoning him down a new road. The man has ability. He has vi sion. He is optimistic. and wants to build for the future. He comes hom> full of some plan for enlarging his business, or striking out in a new direction, or keen to take some offer he has had to go to another country or city. He knows he can succeed because he feels within himself the power to do f’-e thing he is planning to do. But wife fishes out the cold douche. • and anplies it so effectually that she ! brings his temperature down from i fever heat to’ sub-normal before he I is half through explaining his plan. She warns him against taking risk”, an' to let well enough alone. She cites all the cases she has ever known of people who lost their all through some new venture. She prophesies every form of dark disaster, and w. rns him that he is not so young ] as he used to be, and that his health | might fail, and that they might come | to want in their old age and so dis- i mai and disheartening is the vision that she paints that the man finds , his own enthusiasm petering out, and I his belief in himself dying, and he I gives the project up. A great many wives take credit to themselves for being brakes upon i their husbands’ enthusiasms, and say that they are always holding John or Henry back from going into some new thing. Little do they know how often they keep their husbands from great achievements, and cut them selves out of the fortune and the fame they might have had. "I used to tell my wife all of my plans and talk over things with her until I found out that she wet blanketed every scheme I presented to her,” said a successful man. “Now I never tell her anything about what I’m going to do until after the thing is accomplished, because I haven’t got the time, or strength’, to fight her objections.

Qmnw R THK KIBUER COMPANY, DKPT. A7l INDIANAPOLIS, «N»> >, /j my ability to put the thing through, blighted. Without that I cannot suc- i l *- cl. I need somebody to tell me that I can do it, not somebody to croak failure in my ears, and my wife is the greatest little discourag er that ever came down the pike. ’ How often the genius of children is nipped in the bud by their par ents throwing a wet blanket over all their aspirations we never can know, but there are millions and millions of men and women who might have achieved something worth while if their fathers and mothers had not killed their faith in themselves in their early youth. There are many parents who think that it makes for righteousness to make a child humble and self dis trustful. Therefore they are eter nally calling Bobby’s and Sally’s at tention to their faults, and dispar aging their virtues, and making small of everything that they do. Johnny says he wants to be a law y r when he grows up and Johnny’s ambition becomes the chief family jest. They call him “Judge,” they ridicule the idea of a poor boy with no money, or influence, or any par ticular advantage of education ever becoming anything but a day laborer They laugh at his attempts at ora tory and his use of big words, and his fondness for study, and at last Johnny is -wet-blanket 1 out of his ambition and does become the day laborer that his family forced him into becoming. Yet many a man with a family to boost up his cour age and hold up his hands has risen from humbler beginnings than John ny’s to a seat in the supreme court. Bad as it is to discourage a grown person, it is an unforgivable crime to discourage a child, for you know not what a future you may be blight ing, what success you may be shat tering. Never kill the hope and enthu siasm in a child's soul. You may be like Nance Oldfield who, when she had disillusior ed the young boy who wanted to marry her, said: ‘God for give me. I have put out the light on an alter.’ (Copyright 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Decay of the Teeth Decay of the teeth also spoken of as “dental caries,” i s caused by the action of germs or bacteria which lodge upon the less exposed parts of a tooth. As a result of their growth the tooth structure of their ened, allowing the succeeding gen erations of bacteria to penetrate further into the tissues of the tooth. It will be noticed that decay usually begins either in the little grooves upon the surface used in chewing, but which because of their depth are not well scoured by the food in chewing, or else at the point where one tooth adjoins another. This point also fails to receive the scouring which the more exposed parts of a tooth receives. Now as the thickness of the en amel is the same upon the side of the tooth toward the tongue or lip and upon the side toward the ad joining teeth, and as its quality is also the same, we may safely con clude that if the surfaces toward adjoining teeth could be kept as ’ clean and well polished as are those more exposed, they, too, would be practically free from decajr. This is well assured, as bacteria will not grow upon a polished surface. In some of the ancient skulls ex amined, it was found that the sur faces which make contact with other teeth in the same jaw were highly polished by the slight indi vidual motion of each tooth in Its socket as hard pressure was brought to bear upon it and it was thus rubbed against its neighbor. AUNT JULIA’S LETTER BOX My Dear Children: It is almost time to open your Jonquil letter and I’m wondering just how many of you were interested enough to write me about these beautiful flowers The hard rains have beaten uors pretty much to pieces, yet their golden glow makes the darkest days seem bright. We who have the pleasure of living out in the open country should make the most of our opportunities to study nature, and I’m hoping to have many interesting letters on our first flower subject. Lovingly, ' AUNT JULIA. Dear Aunt Julia: I will not portray my self as a very lonely sailor, for I’m not quite as bad as that, but I would like very much if you would add my name to your list of lonely sailors, so that I might hear from some of the wonderful little women who seem to take advantage or. rather, give us the advantage of your Letter Box. There is a young man here who has benefited by your kindness, and it was from him that I got your address. Just a bit of information about mvself will take but a few lines and might be of use: I’m from Texas (Fort Worth). I am nineteen years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, and not the least bit like Wal lace Reid. I would take the “booby prize at a beauty contest, but not such a bad sort in other ways. I’m sorry I like myself so well. Thank you. Aunt Julia, and if I hear from some nice “Georgia lassie” I 11 thank you again. Sincerely, CHARLES F. WARD. Y. 3 C.

CORN MEAL IS FOUNDATION OF MANY TASTY DISHES Corn Meal Although corn meal is now used chiefly as a breakfast cereal or in the form of bread, yet there are many other ways of using it to ad vantage. The particles of corn meal when mixed with water do not tend to stick together and form an elas tic dough as wheat flour does. This is because the protein of corn is lack ing in tenacity allowing the some what granular particles of meal to separate. While this is a disadvan tage for some uses, like bread mak ing, it is an advantage in making waffles or griddle cakes, as it ren ders them very tender. Some recipes for the use of corn meal recommend ed by the home-economics kitchen of the United States department of agriculture follow: Corn Meal and Wheat Waffles iy g cups water. M cup white corn meal. 1% cups milk. 3 cups wheat flour. 3 tablespoons sugar. 1% teaspoons salt. Yolks 2 eggs. Whites 2 eggs. 2 tablespoons melted butter. Cook the meal in boiling water 20 ninutes; add milk, dry ingredients nixed and sifted, yolks of eggs well beaten, butter, and whites of eggs beaten stiff. Cook on greased waf fle iron. These waffles are consider ed by most people better than those made with wheat flour only. This serves six people. Corn-Meal Puffs. 1 pint milk. Vs cup corn meal. 4 tablespoons sugar. Ya teaspoon salt. 4 eggs. Grated nutmeg (if desired). Cook the milk and meal together 15 minutes with the salt and sugar.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME Dear Madam: 1 am coming to you for advice. What should I do to make my husband love me. We have been married seven years. He doesn’t seem to care for me at all. He will go off and stay a week at a time and won’t say anything to me about it. He has been married before. ' His first wife is dead. It seems as if he is not pleased with me. I love him dearly and do everything to please him and make him love me, but it is all in vain. I stay at home by myself all night when he is gone. I feed the horses and hogs and cows, get the wood and make the fire in the morning, do all of my cooking and washing. I have one little boy five years old, and he is just as cute as he can be. We live on a farm out in the country, but my husband seems to like town life. I have tried to get him to move to town, but he won’t let me go, but will go and stay himself. Please give me. all the advice you can? BLUE EYES. there are many wives placed i the same situation as you and hey have my sympathy. I am lot going to advise you to leave lim, because you love him. Try .o win him back. When he re urns from his prolonged trips to the city, instead of looking nournful and nagging him about being away, try to look your prettiest, put on something to at tract his eye—don’t let him know you have missed him. Try to get out and visit folks while he is away, then when he re turns be sure and tell him what i lovely time you’ve had. Let him realize you don’t miss him. He thinks you care too much for lim, and he can do you as he pleases. He is too sure of you. When he finds out he hasn’t been missed by you his vanity will be hurt and he will then sit up and take notice that he isn’t as big as he appears in his Jwn eyes. Just be nice and in lifferent to him. And don’t ask him questions about his trips. I .hink this little advice will help you, if you will try to carry it out. You are too good to him.

Wot lo it be rig it for her io go xyith • er boys 9 i’lease print this In •'lie Journal R. L. If the girl’s parents object to your marrying her, perhaps here is a good reason. Can you ake care of her? Have you anv habits objectionable to them? , \re you steady? If you are all right I can’t see why they wouldn’t be willing. ... If you call twice a weak, I think that is often enough. Remember The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. FELTON Charity Should Begin at Home It is known and understood that millions • upon millions of dollars have been contributed to the people in war-devastated countries of Eu ropa by private sources, and it is reliably stated that these helps from private sources are still aggregat ing a hundred millions a year. The United States authorized the ex penditure of one hundred millions of dollars last year. to be paid out of the United States treasury. Doubtless that appropriation will become a gift so far as any return to the taxpayers may be considered .- Requests are now before congress to donate another one hundred and fifty millions, and the people who are urging it In congress know very well that there is insufficient revenue to cover the six billions of our present estimated expenses of this government. Still they are urg ing this donation in season and out of season. Our first obligation is manifestly for our own people. Living costs are away beyond the reach of ordinary people. Demands are made on our hand to meet these high costs of necessaries. Our own people need our first attention. There is urgent demand for relief from excessive taxation. The government is continually pil ing up obligations to be settled for with tax money. These two things are inconcilable. We must allow charity to begin at home and pay our own debts. It is first the duty of congress to stop extravagance. This is imperative. It is the next duty to stop giving to foreign peo ples in time of peace.. Our people are already restless. There will be more than restlessness later on, if this waste of the people’s money is not checked. Every contribution from the treas ury must be made by congress. Your congressmen are directly responsible. They should understand what our people are saying and thinking on these subjects. According to the constitution the supreme law of the land, the people of the United States' cannot be taxed except for legiti mate purposes, clearly stated in plain English. Let us get back to common sense and plain every day tactics. We have wasted enough and the end should be in sight or trouble will come.

You may stay two or three hours. That’s long enough to tell any girl you love her. If she’s en gaged to you and loves you, 1 don’t see why she would care to see otner young men. I am a lonely girl of nineteen summers. Is it proper for a girl to comb her hair before the boys? I, have been going with a boy my age and dearly love him. He says he lov. ; me and wants me to kiss him good night, but I won’t. Is it proper for me to go to the front porch with him. when he starts home?

I have brown hair and blue eyes and a medium complexion. Will close thanking you f«r your advice. I re main, as ever. BLUE BELL. Os course, it is natural for a boy to want to kiss a girl. But it is up to the girl to object be cause she must remember she’s a nice girl and must not have any liberties taken with her. It is proper to bid him good night on the porch of your home, pro vided he doesn’t keep you out there. It is perfectly proper to go to nice parties, when there is an older person to chaperon it. Your weight is enough. Here comes a girl for advice. I am nineteen years old. Have blue eyes, wear glasses, brown hair, fiv. feet two Inches, weight 148. Do you think I weigh too much? I have been go ing with a boy 24 years old. H;e asked me to hiss him and I to'.. him I didn’t kiss the boys, and he got mad. Did I do right in not kissing him? He said he loved me better than any girl he had ever seen. I just liked him as a friend. Please advise me as I am an orphan ah*l. That young man Is too con- C euu,. ..ui'vau wnat he neeueu —a call down. I realize more than ever, that boys have got ten the idea they can call on a girl and start a kissing game im mediately. What they need is a good walloping. He will have lots more respect for you, be cause you refused him. If he loves you, don’t worry dear, he will come back. I am coming to you for advice. I am a girl thirteen years old and I love a boy twenty-three years old and he says he loves me. Do you think we should marry or not? What must I say when a boy says he loves me? I like to go to school and a min the fourth grade. Must I give up school or not? What color suits me best? I have black hair and brown eyes and light complexion. Must I ait on a boy’s lap? Must I write to a boy that my sister writes to? Please answer all of my questions. A LONESOME GIRL. You are entirely too young to even think about marrying. You should go to school, at least three or four mor i eyears, and if any man or boy asks you to sit on his lap, he has Insulted you, and you must take it as such. If you do such things now you will regret it in future years. At your tender age a girl can’t be too careful. You can wear most any color well. There isn’t any harm in both of you writing to the same boy. ESCAPED AN OPERATION By Taking Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Com pound. Many Such Cases.
