I OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
A letter for All of Us
Mrs. J. D. Thomas, Tuscumbia. Ala.
Dear Mrs. Thomas —The Easter
season of 1920 has just been cele
brated and we have been thinking
anew of Him who came that men
might have Life.
How wonderful to be able to be
stow the gift of life. It is within
our keeping to do so today. Indeed
that is what our relief organization
has been trying to do in the Near
lilast. Your generous contribution,
for which official receipt is enclosed,
has helped enable us to not only re
lieve what was probably the most
desperate situation of human dis
tress in all history, but also to grant
a new lease on life to a brave and
worthy people.
It is too soon to announce that
the danger in Armenia is passed. In
deed, the situation remains extremely
critical. However, from Colonel Has
kell, who directs the relief distribu
tion in the Caucasus, there comes
the encouraging word that our organ
ization is successfully meeting the
situation. We know, therefore, that
if the American people will continue
to support us and the steady flow
of relief is not interrupted, the great
refugee population can be saved.
You understand, of course, that
until political stabilization is ef
fected and it is safe for the Armeni
ans to go back to their farms, they
are dependent upon us for the means
of life. Furthermore, once the har
vest relieves the food situation, there
will remain the problem of rehabili
tation "and the caring for one-quarter
of a million orphan children.
Let us again thank you for your
good will and generous co-operation.
Sincerely yours,
C. V. VICKREY.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Dear Miss Meredith: I am
coming to you for advice. Guess
I had better describe myself,'
so here I go, don’t get scared: Blue
eyes, fair complexion, black hair; am
5 feet 4 inches Jiigh, weigh 140
pounds, am nineteen years old. Do
I weigh too much for my height? I
sometimes think I do.
I am going to school, and in the
ninth grade; like to go to school
fine. I long to teach school, to be
a trained nurse, one or the other. I
had rather attend to sick people than
anything I have ever done.
I have not got my mind on boys, as
I see some of the girls that write
have. I have it on an education. I
think I am right, do you not think sO?
My mother is dead, there are not
but four of us at home. Papa- is as
good to us as can be. I have one
sister, one little adopted brother at
home, three sisters and three broth
ers married.
How long should I wear my
dresses? What color would suit me
best?
Will you please advise me what
to do. become a nurse or complete my
education and then teach?
SUNSHINE.
Techlng school is a fine voca
tion, If you have patience, and
love children. To be a success
ful teacher, it is to have the love
and respect of the children, have
them to love you. To attend the
sick and care for those who are
helpless is a noble calling, and if
. you make up your mind to be
come a trained nurse, stick to it.
Success in anything means “stick
toitiveness.” Whatever you de
cide to do, stick to it. First find
out what you really want to do.
Be sure you are fitted for the
work and decide upon. But now
that I have told you about work
in the future, the essential thing
is education, get that first. It
will help you in every undertak
ing in life. It is something that
cannot be taken away from you.
Most any color will be becoming
to you. Blue is always good and
besides being practical is becom
ing to most every one.
We are two lonely girls coming to
you for advice. Please answer these
questions through The Semi-Weekly
Journal: Is there any harm in going
car riding at night if there are two
girls and two boys? Is there any
harm in chewing gum before your
beau? Is there any such thing as
love powder? Is there any harm in
holding hands with youi- fellow?
Is there any harm to dance with your
fellow? How can a boy prove his
love for a girl? What must a girl
say when a boy asks her to kiss him?
What must a girl say when a boy
calls her his sweetheart? Is there
any harm to flirt? What must a
girl do when a boy tries to embrace
her? If you love a boy and are
ashamed of him, what must you do?
Thank you for advice. t
CAT AND RAT.
I must say you have chosen
lovely names to sign yourselves.
There are so many pretty names
in the English language, it is a
pity you couldn’t think of two
more attractive ones. Evidently
you are asking me questions
more to be writing to me than
any thing else. First, good man
ners are necessary before you can
be judged a lady. Whether you
are rich or poor it makes no dif
ference. Good manners don’t
cost anything, and if you plant
the seed they will grow. As for
gum chewing, there is no harm
in it except it doesn’t look nice,
very refined, people shrink from
doing anything which will make
them conspicuous in the sight of
others. There is no such thing
as love powder. When a boy
asks a girl to kiss him, he is try
ing her out. Not in all cases,
however, but it is best not to al-
for I believe that I shall get the
other this month of May. It only
needs fourteen dollars and seventy
cents to make our board for two
children —clothes it may be used for,
we are leaving that to Col. Haskell
for he is ovqr there and sees the
better place to apply it. Some one
said, “How about the sufferers in
this country?” My experience and
observation has taught me that the
people -who give freely to foreign
work of any Christian character are
the people who respond to calls for
help at home.
Several have sent a portion of
their tithing. It is astonishing how
far we can stretch ninety cents, or
nine dollars after we have taken out
the Lord’s portion. You will notice
that five little boys sent a nickel
each —did you know or have you
thought that it feeds a child almost
two days? When we bring it down
to nickels and dimes we see what a
fine sum we could send if every
reader sent as much as the little
boys. All of us should remember
that a lad with a lunch, perhaps his
mother fixed it for him, furnished
the basis ■ of our Savior feeding the
multitude! When 1 was a child my
grandmother taught me a poem
written about a little child in Ire
land. That country suffered from
famines in its early history, and the
story went that a child begged for
just three grains of corn.
"Only three grains of corn, mother,
Only three grains of corn,
It will keep the little life I have
’Till the coming of the morn.”
That is all that I remember
of the “speech”, aS 1 we called it
then, but many times it has prompt
ed me to do right then the thing that
would help some other. And I want
you to never forget that God cer
tainly gives us a blessing for even
the least that we do for His suffer
ing ones.
Route C., Brenton, Ala.
Dear Mrs. Thomas;
Inclosed you will fid money or
der for 50 cents, for the Armenian
fund. Wish I could do more, I have
been reading your interesting Ittrs
for many years, and have enjoyed
them. I also believe in tithing, and
this is tithing money I am sending.
Very sincerely yours,
MRS. MAL PARKER.
Greensboro, Ga.
Dear Mrs. Thomas:
Inclosed you will find SI.OO for the
suffering Armenians. I certainly do
enjoy reading your letters. They
are so helpful and improving. May
God bless you and may your good
work for Him continue.
Sincerely,
MRS. D. S. C.
low them any liberties. I don’t
see how you can love a boy you
are ashamed of. I think you are
two silly girls, and what you
need is good training.
Dear Miss Meredith: I am a boy
twenty years old coming to you for
advice. I am loving a girl age six
teen and she has never told me she
loved me, but wrote it in a letter. Is
she too young for me? Her parents
think a lot of me, and they are thriv
ing people, too. There is a boy who
Is trying to break us up. How can I
manage to make him stop knocking
me to her? He told a deliberate false
hood on me to the young lady. Did
it to make her angry with me, but
she is all right since I told her about
the matter. This boy is doing all he
can to part us.
Please print this in the next Tri-
Weekly Journal.
Troubled boy,
GEORGE CLAYTON.
George: lam sorry I have de
layed writing to you, but I am
very busy and it takes time to
get around to so many letters.
I like the way you write; enjoy
getting such nice letters.
If that little girl really loves
you, don’t be alarmed about the
other boy trying to part you.
There is reason to believe that
the girl loves you. so I wouldn’t
worry if I were y<?u.
I think you will win out. The
girl is too young to marry just
yet. Sixteen is too young; let her
enjoy her girlhood for a while
longer.
Sweet Savory Drippings
Good Butter Substitute
It is almost universally conceded
that cooked vegetables require the
addition of fat to be at their best
and that no fat seems so suitable
as butter for seasoning them, if on
the texture of the dish and the fla
vor rests the decision. Many fami
lies, however, are practicing thrift in
the use of foods which they pur
chase and are varying the vegetable
seasoning. One of the best fats for
seasoning a vegetable dish is sweet
savory drippings.
Not all meats supply fats that are
savory in tne sense in which the word
is employed here, but the fats from
fried sausages, ham, bacon and pork
and from roast pork, veal and chick
en, may be employed alone or in com
bination for this purpose. Some fats
have a flavor which comes from the
seasoning as in sausage, from the
smoke as in ham and bacon, and from
the brown material as in roast meats,
which is agreeable to the palate. The
fats skimmed from the water in
which poultry has been boiled and
the fat skimmed from the gravies
of most roast meats may be clarified
and employed also i na preparation
of vegetables for the table. Great
care must be taken that all of these
Tats are sweet and clean and that
the temperature at which they are
fried out shall not be so high as to
impair the flavor. Burned or scorch
ed fat is not only unpleasing in fla
vor, but is a frequent cause of indi
gestion.
When rendering trimmings of fa.:
meat, the home economics kitchen of
the department of agriculture recom
mends that a small onion or shallot
(uncut), a few leaves of summe’’
savory, and a teaspoon of salt and
pepper be added to make a savory
dripping of plesant flavor. This
amount of seasoning is enough for
half a pint of fat. Drippings should
be kept covered in a cool, dry place.
Os Interest to Women
Biting of the finger nails is a
habit usually resulting from ner
vousness, and the treatment of the
condition demands attention to all
the factors that would produce ner
vousness, such as the excessive
drinking of tea or coffee, excessive
smoking of tobacco, etc. In addition
to this, of course, attention should
be given to normal living, the secur
ing of plenty of outdoor life, suf
ficient sleep, good food, etc. Paint
ing the finger nails with tincture of
aloes, which is very bitter, is some
times helpful in connection with
these measures.
A number of local applications can
be used to remove freckles, but the
removal is not permanent. Most peo
ple regard freckles as a sign of
good health, and do not worry about
them. This is certainly a good at
titude to take toward this harmless
condition. Buttermilk is very good,
but one must use it often and be
careful to protect the face at all
times from the sun and wind.

SABBATH SCHOOL
LESSON
For May 9—l Sam. 4
BY DE, MARXOXT M’H. HULL
Golden Text: “The wages of sin is death;
but the free gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Rom. 6:26.
Was the case of Eli and his sons a notable
example of good man and bad eons? Have
you often heard the question, why do the
sons of good men nearly always go wrong?
Is it true? Think it through; then think it
through again after we have studied this
story of Eli and his sons carefully.
It was during the closing years of the
period of the judges. Israel bad often for
gotten God and turned away from Him to
the gods of the heathen about them. As
often God had brought them back. There
was now in the position of leadership a man
named Eli. He was judge for forty years.
He occupied a double position,, as he was also
the high priest. He was of the family of
Aaron, but had descended from Ithamar,
Aaron’s younger son, instead of from
Eleas’er, the older son. It was therefore
unusual that he should be occupying this
position, and was evidently there by the
grace of God.
Eli had placed his sons, Hophni and
Phineas, in the priestly office and was cog
nizant of the way they had abused it; for
they were guilty of greed and grafting, of
selfishness and sensuality. One is horrified
when one reads of the extent to which they
abused their office.
God had liberally provided for the priests.
He had ordered that certain choice portions
of every sacrifice should be given to the
priests ns their portion when the sacrifices
were made. He had specifically directed,
however, that the fat was to be burned as a
sacrifice to Him.
• These men not only took the portions that
were theirs by this right, but they had
three-pronged forks with which their servants
hooked out of the pot all that they could, as
an additional portion. This not satisfying
them they held up the worshipers and de
manded the fat and other portions as well;
and when these demurred they took them
by force. Os course this was far more than
thev could use personally, so their object
was to sell them and pocket the proceeds.
Thev had no thought for God, but only for
themselves. Eli knew all of this, for he
was participating with them in the spoil
(ch. 2:29).
Furthermore, these sons were impure in
their lives. When the women came to wor
ship at the tabernacle in Shiloh these priests
fell into the lascivious practices engaged in
bv the worshipers of Baal and Astarte, and
debased them in the name of the religion of
the holy God! Every heathen religion today
even l as such practices in the name of wor
ship; and, little as many people know or
think, many of them in a more civilized way,
have found their way into the warp and wool
of our holy religion also! God pity us.
Eli knew all of this and merely remon
strated with them mildly.
Then God sent His prophet to Eli to warn
him, for what was being done had brought
the worship of Jehovah into dishonor. Men
abhorred the sacrifice to Jehovah when such
things were done In the name of religion.
'The prophet reminded Eli of God’s grace in
railing his family into the priesthood, of
His generous provision for their needs, and
wondered why he should kick at the sacri
fice and offering which were His. God
charged Eli with giving Him the second
place, and his sons the first place; and of
making himself and his sons fat with the
offerings of His people. He warned him
that He would set him aside, therefore,
that He would cut off his inheritance and
his family, and raise up in his place a faith
ful priest who would put Him in the first
place, and make His name and His worship
respected again.
Eli did not heed this warning. The same
practices continued; his sons were not re
moved from offitee; he still shared with
them the plunder of the people.
Then Samuel brought him, unvyillingly, the
message given him by the Voice that be
came a vision. And Eli replied, “It is the
Lord; let Him do what seemeth Him good.”
Mighty pious words! but a real piety would
have made him kkick his sons out of office
immediately and restore to the people and to
God all that he and they had robbed them
of!
The Blow Falls
Then the time came for the warning to
become a reality. The warlike and a
mighty Philistines pitched their tents at
Aphek, just a few miles west of Jerusalem,
having penetrated deep into Israels terri
tory. And Israel lost heavily in the battle
with them. In their distress the elders be
thought themselves of the ark of God that
was at Shiloh. They remembered how it
had been carried by their forefathers in the
days when they marched through the wil
derness and in the conquest of Canaan, and
that they were then invincible—why should
they not be now if (they could have that
with them ?
But God had given specific insturctions
as to how the arkk should be carried —only
a certain family of the Levites was to bear
it, and they’ only in a certain way; for it
was the symbol of His presence. In it were
the tables of the law, and Aaron’s rod that
budded; it’s lid was the mercy-seat where
God promised to meet His people. But it
was nothing more than a symbol; and to
carry it in any other way than as God di
rected would incur His displeasure, and in
sure His not meeting them there. They
seemed to have forgoten this in their ea
gerness to win, and treated it only as a
talisman of unusual value.’ So they took it
in their own w ay
It was like a stimulant to Israel. They
shouted with a great shout when it was
brought into their midst, and rallied with
renewed effort for a great fight. But the
Philistines rallied also. It is remarkable
how much of the history of Israel they
knew, how much they’ knew about God—■
they were therefore without excuse in not
having accented Him. But they fought,
and fought like madmen, to save their lib
erty and their lives and they won! Israel
was defeated in great numbers. Hophni and
Phineas were slain, and the ark of God
(by which they had been nb doubt standing
under pretense of protceting it, but really
to have its supposed protection) was .taken
also.
A Benjaminite ran to Shiloh with the
news. At the gateway on the post sat
Ell. ninety-eight years ol'd and fat. He
was waiting anxiously for news, and got
it from the runner, who was most adroit in
telling of it. When Eli heard that the
ark of God was taken, he fell over back
ward and broke his neck, and died almost
instantly. It sounds very pious, doesn’t it?
But why was he so anxious about the ark
of God? He must have known that it had
been taken from Shiloh by elders instead
of by Levites, as God had directed. It.
could not have been taken without his per
mission. He was just, as guilty as any of
the others in presuming to move the ark
Without God’s directions; yes, more so, for
he knew, and they might have been ig-*
norant. No wonder he was anxious; no
wonder that he swooned when he heard the
news of its capture.
A Bird’s Eye Veiw
No, Eli was not a godly father of un
godly sons. Practically every reference to
him in the scripture is to his discredit.
Notice them—
1. He had so little spiritual Insight that
he rebuked Hannah for praying, thinking
that she was drunk.
2. He merely added his wish to hers, when
he found that he was mistaken.
3. He knew all about his sons, and yet
put them in the priestly office.
4. He was forgetful of God’s grace to his
family and himself.
5. He honored his sons above God.
6. He shared with the spoils of their ille
gitimate graft and greed.
7. He was unrepentant when the prophet
of God warned him.
8. He was faithless, instead of faithful.
(Ch. 2:25.)
I). He was passively resigned .to the will
of God when the child Samuel revealed it
rather than actively resolute in carrying
it out and cleaning out the priests’ office.
10. He allowed the ark of God to be
carried away In an unlawful manner to be
used as a lufk-box. And lastly, jf he had
had any faith in God’s power, fie had a
poorway of showing it by sitting anxiously
on a post to hear what would happen
to it.
Now what have you to say for Eli?
Can you find anything else the Bible has
to say about them that would be favor
able to him? Do you wonder at Hophni
and Phineas now that you have learned to
know the Eli of the Bible, instead of the
Eli we had imagined him to be? No, no!
It may be true that there are ungodly eons
of godly fathers, but Eli and his sons do
not teach it. Eli had piosity without piety;
he reaped in his sons what he sowed in
himself. He did not know God, and God
set him aside. Whatsoever a man soweth
that also shall he reap.
Now answer the questions propounded at
the start. And don’t ever again, if you
have ever done it before, perpetuate that
lie of the devil’s about minister’s sons.
God has said that “the promise is
unto you and to your children;” He has
also said “Thou shalt be saved and thy
house”—and God is a covenant keeping
God. Every godly parent has a right to
expect that God will keep His promises;
and to rest in that. The important thing is
that the parent live close to God himself;
and trust Him to do His part.
Note this.
God not only judged Eli and his family
but He condemned the use of any visible
manifestations of Hi.nself. God is a spirit,
ahd even the use of the ark as a reprer
sentation of His presence was not to be
tolerated in those who called themselves
His people. It is true, He allowed the
Philistines to think of it as such, as they
learned to their sorrow; but they were
heathen and knew no better, while His
people should have. Only two or three
more references to the ark are found in
scripture; then it passes out of view.
Why?
But why did He allow the ark to be
taßen and the Israelites to be defeated by
such a wicked and unreprentant nation as
the Philistines? Victory or defeat depends
on the presence and power of God; and His
Advice to the Trapper
What to Do in Summer
When the trapping season ends,
every trapper should consider it his
own duty to protect the fur-bearing
animals in his neighborhood, to re
frain from trapping during the mat
ing season, and to help increase the
supply of animals in every way he
can.
The first thing to do is to go over
your trap line carefully, and be sure
that you do not leave any open sets
lying around all summer. Take in
your traps and wash them in strong
lye water, and then hang them in a
dry, shady place, where you can find
them conveniently when the new
trapping season opens in fall.
It is not enough that you should,
cease from your own trapping once
the season is over; go out among all
your friends and neighbors and pre
vail upon them to join in the work
of fur conservation. Get everyone
to agree to stop trapping out of sea
son.
As the summer goes by, pay an oc
casional visit to the haunts of the
fur-bearers in your section and care
fully preserve all dens, holes, houses,
and runaways. Keep the natural
surroundings undisturbed so that
there will be nothing to frighten
away any of the animals.
The fur crop in your section really
belongs to you and is a part of your
personal property. So it is wise and
profitable to keep in close touch with
it during the summer when there is
no trapping. In this way you will
protect and increase your own
wealth.
Full Dress
A patch on the seat of one’s trousers
no longer
Is, commonly speaking, the badge
of distress,
Os poverty: nay! and to put it some
stronger
We’ll call it the hall mark of new
fangled dress;
The newfangled dress in "unmention
ed” (sic) garments
Encasing the nether limbs of the
male sex.
So, get you to patches! no more
they’re disbarments
Os public approval, a critic com
plex.
And while on the ethics of wearing
, apparel
Lett’s briefly make mention of
those for the feet.
Though curses, in undertone, whisper
the quarrel
’Tween us and shoe pirates, the
style’s obsolete
Os going barefooted in circles of
culture,
There’s no law against hiking in
carpet slips.
So, pay no attention to fashion, that
vulture,
• When thusly foot shod on your
avenub trips.
And hats, never worry about your old
dicer,
Your skimmer, fedora—they’re all
new in style.
For service I ask you, say, what can
be nicer
Than grandpop’s old plug hat, elon
gated tile?
And there you are, neighbor, with
all of your dollars
Safe snugged in your weasel, and
easy of head.
Believe me, with these—and rever
sible collars
Os paper you need but a necktie
of red.
- —Horace Seymour Keller.
Call Stiff Collar Strike
CHICAGO.—The University Club
of Chicago, with a membership of
3.500 bankers, business and profes
sional men, has started out to ban
ish the stiff collar and fancy shirt
in favor of blue chambray shirts and
attached collars, it was announced
recently.
And the collar and shirt strike
committee issued the following pro
nunciamento: Wanted, 10,000 slaves
of the collar button to rise and not
only emancipate themselves from its
despotic yoke but to forswear the
white starched collar and the boiled,
the silk and the linen, the pongee
and all other costly shirts.”
John W. Champion, head of the
shirt strike committee, said: “We
plan to call a strike May 5, and we
believe every man will see the justice
of the cause and sign one of the
pledge cards. Our ultimate purpose
is to reduce the prices of laundering
and eliminate profiteering in white
collars and shirts. Therefore, begin
ning May 5, all who join the move
ment will don soft shirts with at
tached collars. The shirts may be
khaki, cotton or any other material
whose cost does not exceed $2.50.”
Thieves Steal Whisky
BALTIMORE.—WhiIe Luke P.
McGuire was at church, thieves en
tered his home and carried away
five barrels of whisky.
Although the house was open and
many valuables wtere left unprotect
ed, the burglars did not touch any
thing but the liquor.
McGuire did not discover his loss
until he went to the cellar before
retiring.

Israel had disobeyed. The disobedience

Overalls Nearly Cause
Death; Disable Airplane
ATLANTIC CITY.—A pair of
khaki overalls brought about a thrill
ing battle in the air over the resort
in the afternoon, and crowds along
the Boardwalk saw two lieutenants
in a struggle against death hundreds
of feet above them.
A big DH-4 airplane used in coast
patrol work, moving at great speed,
caught the eyes of the thousands be
low when it suddenly went into a
dizzy spirr, following a flash of some
thing from the cockpit that catight
on the rudder. The pilot brought the
ship out of the spin only to go into
another.
The aerial acrobatics continued fqiv
several minutes, then the craft went
into a wide circle of more tumblings
and straightened out into a forced
landing at the Curtiss airport at
Albany avenue. Lieutenants Galey
and Martin, of New York, were
aboard.
The crazy evolutions of the air
plane had been caused by the over
alls, which were lifted from the
cockpit by the wind and caught in
the rudder, jamming the control and
giving the flyers a bad few minutes
as the khaki wrapped itself around
the rudder, beyond their reach. Neith
er of the men was injured and the
patrol was continued as soon as the'
overalls had been removed.

“This clever woman has not a wrinkle
! upon her face; she has perfected a marvel-
I ous, simple method which brought a won-
I derful change in her face in a single night.
■ For removing wrinkles and developing the
bust, her method is truly wonderfully rapid.
She made herself the woman she Is today
and brought, about the wonderful change
in her appearance in a secret and pleasant
manner. Iler complexion Is as clear and
fair as that of a child. She turned her
scrawny figure into a beautiful bust and
well-developed form. She had tbin, scrawny
eye lashes and eyebrows, which could
scarcely be seen, and she made them long,
thick and beautiful by her own methods
and removed every blackhead ahd pimple
from her face in a single night.
You can imagine her joy, when by her
own simple discovery, she removed every
wrinkle from her face and developed her
thin neck and form to beautiful propor
tions.
Nothing is taken Into the stomach, no
common massage, no harmful plasters, no
worthless creams.
By her new process, she removes wrin
kles and develops the whole figure plump
and fat.
It is simply astonishing the hundreds of
women who write in regarding the won
derful results from this new beauty treat
ment, which is beautifying their face and
form after beanty doctors and other meth
ods failed. She has thousands of letters
on file like the following:
Mrs. M. L. B. Albin, Miss., writes: “I
have used your beauty treatment with
wonderful success. I have not a wrinkle
on my faoe now and it is also improving
my complexion, which has always troubled
me with pimples and blackheads. My
weight was 112 pounds before taking your
treatment and now I weigh 117, a gain of
5 pounds. Your treatment is a Godsend to
all thin women. I am so grateful you may
even use my letter if you wish.”
Miss P. S., Swanton, Ohio, says: “I con
sider your treatment wonderful. I can
scarcely believe my eyes when I look in
the mirror.”
