AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BOX Dear Children: You know I live in a suburb of Atlanta and tonight when I was coming home I noticed that at last the fields were beginning to show the work of spring, and I knew just how much it must mean to the farmers living where the rain has pre vented earlier work to have these bright warm days. I made a prayer in my heart that all wuld be well with you, and that the fields would yield their best for you and yours. Knowing you all and having the interest 1 do in the work nearest you has brought me much closer to nature. We are going to have to go back to our twilight hour, for I know sow full your days will be. Some of you dear children, I know, are ‘‘father's right-hand man.” For the benefit of those who were not with us last year ino ur twilight hour I want to tell them what it meant to us. After the day’s work, just before sleepy time, we spent an hour together, in thought and on paper. In that way we did not interfere with any duties, yet we had our visits. How many of you want to do that this year? Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.

I am very anxious to get some small shells, so if any of you live near enough to the coast to gather shells please write to me at once and I will state what kind of shells J wish to get and will also return the favor. I live in the peach orchard of north east Georgia. There are acres and acres of these hills covered in peach trees, and they are just beginning to bloom now. It is in deed a pretty sight. It is dull here most all the time, but when there is a large peach crop it is a very lively place. There are peach packers from most everywhere. So I will invite you, Aunt Julia, and all the cousins to visit me when the Elberta s get ripe. I atn in school, in the eighth grade. I will be thirteen years old in May.

The New York Medical Journal speaks of this in its review of a new edition of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s “Parzi val,” that classic poem of the twelfth century. It points out that the mother sees only with reluctance the boy pass from the love and care and peace with which she has surrounded him into the world of pitiless endeavor in which he must play his part. ‘‘The mother’s selfish fondness dis closes itself in the ludicrous child’s garment and the wornout. home-bred ’horse with which she sends forth the Dont'Send a Penny Here’s a simply stunning offer you can’t afford to pass.

These are to the modern analytical mind painfully symbolic of the unconscious interfer ence on the part of parents with the proper adult equipment of their children for an independent life. Their apparent fondness conceals the unconscious wish that the child will I find himself unequipped for the great | er world and compelled to turn back j to their shelter.” It Is Foolish to Try To Remove Freckles Freckles can be removed, but, as ' the Journal of the American Medical j Association says, “the effect is only j temporary at best,and usually not I worth the irritation and effort that j it costs.” The method is to apply solutions i of mercuric chloride in a strength of ' from 0.5 to 1 per cent, strictly un- ' der medical supervision, for if one tries to do it oneself she is likely to make a nasty mess of her face These solutions produce an inflam i mation of the skin which ends in th- ; ; outer skin peeling off, bringing the . freckles with it. The Journal of the American Med- > I leal Association says that the pre- | j written by Hebra. and r<- i ommended particularly for the re ' moval of freckles, will not do the j trick. Wise women let their freckles alone. novz TO AVOID By D SOaES i Bed sores, usually the result of : carelessness on the part of the nurse, • are, according to Dr. Wieting of Ber- I lin, due to compression of subcuta neous tissues by the weight of the body, causing occlusion of blood ves- j seis. This results in necrosis, be ginning under the skin. Bed sores 1 can be prevented by change of pos ture, the use of rubber rings, water cushions and absolute cleanliness. In i serious cases where the position can not be changed, he urges suspension ' in a warm bath. DON’T BEAD WHEN DROWSY 1 To read or study when tired or drowsy is to strain the eyes to a dangerous degree, writes W. M. Car -1 hart in Public Health. Avoid even ing study whenever possible.

Anna: You can get the song "Bubbles,” by writing to the Cable Piano company, here in Atlanta; also, any other song. Just write, • Cable Piano Co., Sheet Music Dept., Broad street, and they will get your letter. The best time to practice music lessons is in the morning hours, if possible. Your mind Is refreshed by the night’s sleep, and you will under stand the notes better. Blue in most any shade will | be becoming to you, although | you may be able to wear most any color, if you have a good complexion. If your face is broad a large or medium brim med hat would be more becom ing to your face than a very small hat. If you are going on a sight-seeing trip, it is wise to take a suit, of dark material, I rather tailored, on account of dust and grime one gets when I traveling; a georgette waist of dark material; a silk dress of blue taffeta or satin, they are al ways suitable for hotel dinners, or visiting, and a serge dress for cool days. But make your ward robe as small as possible, so you will not have to worry about your belongings, and you will have a good time. Don't take a lot of underwear, and have it of soft material so you needn’t mind packing it tight. lam coming to you for advice. I am a boy of twenty years and am in love with a girl of eighteen. She says she loves me, but I am a poor man and her father is a rich man and don’t allow me to see her if he can help it. She says she will marry me without her parents’ con sent, but I don’t know whether to marry or not. Do you think she would be happy always with me or would she be sorry she married me when she found out what it was to be a poor man's wife? I couldn’t bear to see her unhappy. Please ad vise me what to do. Thanks in ad vance. It has been known that girls have lived “happy ever after” when they married poor men, but it takes a lot of loving and patience. It is rather a hard thing to do, to adjust one’s self to a very simple mode of living after one has had much of this world’s goods. It is hardly fair to the girl to want to take her away from a home of comfort and ask her to share poverty with you. But real love on both sides makes up for the lack of money. And if you are both young- and strong, and ambitious, you could set to work and try to accumulate a bit yourselves. But remember this, the girl is young and romantic and she thinks life with you is splendid (regardless of whether you have money to buy her shoes, or not) but &fter a while she may wake up to the realization that life with a poor man isn’t so wonder ful after all. The love of line clothes and luxuries has caused more than one home to be brok en up. So go slow until you know positively what you are doing. Here comes a South Carolina girl for your advice. I am seventeen years old, dark brown hair, brown eyes, medium complexion, five feet six inches tall and weigh 146 pounds. Am I tall enough for my weight? What colors would suit me best? 1 am married and want to look taller. Will high-heel shoes injure me, as I wear them now? My mother died when I was eleven years old. My grandmother was not only mean to me, but cruel. Should I act lovingly with her, as I am now out of her reach? Please advise me, as I have no mother, and a man can’t decide such things. I finished the eighth grade. How is my penmanship? Is there any place where married people can obtain an education? . This is my second call. I did not see the other’tn print. Yours in earnest. F. J. F. You are tall enough without trying to make yourself look any taller. But you can wear high heel shoes if they are not un comfortable. Most any color will suit you. I think you would look ' well in rich dark colors, how ever. In regard to your grand mother, I think if I were you ■ I would try to win her love. She may act peculiarly, but remem ber she is old. and perhaps she LADIES!

I am a boy of eighteen. I go to school and am in the ninth grade. I have been going with a girl of seventeen. She says she loves me and has asked me to marry her. 1 told her we were too young to marry. Don’t you think we are? She seems to have gotten mad with me and said I cared nothing for her. I believe I could have a fine time with other girls if I were not bashful. Do you know anything for bashfulness? If so, please tell me. Is there any harm in dancing? I love a girl very mucn and she says she loves me, but she will go to dances, and will not speak unless I speak first. Who should speak first? Do you think she cares for me? Is it becoming for a boy and girl to go to parties and stand on the porch and talk while the others are in the house after night? Is it all right for brothers to go to see the same girl? Is it right for a boy to hold to a girl’s arm while he is walking with her? Is there anything for red hair to change the color of it? Is there anything to take freckles off the face? Hoping to see this in print. Please sign. FATTY ARBUCKLE. You are too young to marry yet. and that little girl is very silly to want you to marry her, and both of you too young to hardly know what you are do ing. Don’t pay attention to her. Go with other girls, and for get about yourself. You will overcome the hashfulness in time. No. I cannot see any harm in lancing. You should try to learn to dance, so you can go to dances with the young lady. She should speak to you, but if you see her sitting over in the corner or anywheres alone, it is up to you to go up to her and speak. There is no real harm standing on the porch when the others are in the house, unless you stay away from the others too long. It is all right for brothers to call on the same girl. One will get tired after a bit and will let the other win. Don’t change your red hair, because red hair is very pretty. Freckles won’t come off. Beware of Picking Habit The habit of picking at such little hard swellings as are caused by blackheads is usually formed unin tentionally. A person deep in study or thought passes his hand uncon sciously over his face, neck or scalp, and absent-mindedly digs with his finger nail at the tiny spot. This, ac cording to Dr. G M. MacKee, of New York, is a mild neurosis. But it is a dangerous habit, as it is likely to produce infection front which a sore or even a carbuncle may result. Drunkards Born Not Made Dr. J. Waldschmidt, of Berlin, sayh that every drunkard is born, not made. He has an inherited pre disposition. not necessarily from a parent who is an alcoholic, however, but from one who has transmitted a weakness of the brain. For, he in sists, a sound brain repudiates the abuse of alcohol. This, he says, the human race cannot get along with out, though its more dangerous forms should be prohibited. silk skirt rnrE 1 send no DELIVERED I" KEL EL MONEY Just send name, size, color, etc., and we will send this • . smart, snappy, Poplin Silk skirt by return mail, postpaid.

FELTON CULTIVATING IRISH POTATOES If any of the Tri-Weekly readers have been trying to cultivate what is generally known as Irish potatoes during late years, they will appre ciate what I am writing when I say my efforts have been very disheart ening, because of the ravages of the beetle bug, which seems to defy con stant and eager efforts to get rid of them. They multiply and extend like grasshoppers in Kansas. They suck the very life out of the plant, and, of course, there are no tubers to be found in the ground. It has been the habit of the gar- I deners in my section to sprinkle the growing potato plants with Paris green, and the industrious and zealous ones made it their business to care fully pick off the bugs and burn them. A very successful raiser of the Irish or white potato tells me of a Very reliable remedy, and I hasten to send it to the Tri-Weekly read ers. fehe gathered short cedar boughs filled a washpot and covered with water. The boughs were boiled down strong. Then she used a sprinkling mop and sprayed every plant with the strong cedar decoction. She was delighted with her suc cess, and certainly it is worth a try. If I can secure a plowman very ®°° n 1 P r °P° s e to plant some potatoes and adopt the cedar tea remedy.
