Curedlis RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk
several years ago. Doctors said my only
hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did
me no good. Finally I got hold of some
thing that quickly and completely cured me.
Years'have passed and the rupture has never
returned, although I am doing hard work as
a carpenter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to
•ell. but will give full information about
how you may find a complete cure without
operation, if you write to me. Eugene M.
Pullen. Carpenter, 656-F Marcellus Avenue,
Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this no
tice and show It to any others who are rup
tured —you may save a life or at least stop
the misery of rupture and the worry and
danger of an operation.—(Advt.)

AUNT JULIA’S
LETTER BOX
My Dear Children: I wonder if we could start a Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals or Dumb Things society all of our own.
Wat do yo uthink? We could have our own pledge and we could
do much towards spreading the idea of gentleness, that with our
benevolent society that has done so much good already, would cer
tainly put us in the first ranks of helpful young people. All in
favor of this society make it known by saying y.es in your next let
ter. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
I will be delighted to, publish the letter from the cousin from
Bolivar, La., if she will send her name. It is a rule of the Letter
Box to publish no unsigned letters. Your letter was excellent.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
ONE OF THE WORLD’S WONDERS
There is a new and notable factor
in medical science which is one ot'
the world’s latest discoveries. I al
lude to the metal radium, which is
said to be 150,000 times more valua
able than so much gold. Its claims
are many but the world if? interested
at this time with radium as a can
cer cure. Enough radium to equip
a first-class X-ray machine will be
no larger than the head of a small
match and will cost the buyer some
thing like ?6,000.
It would tax the imagination to
understand what a tiny particle ol
radiuni can do, .properly placed. A
tablespoonful is said to be worth
over $300,000, and the facilities . for
procuring this rare product are in
sufficient to annually increase the
world’s output above that amount up
to date. The discovery was in n>e
nature of an accident and a French
woman, devoted to scientific re
search, was the real promoter of this
rare metal, which is so perfectly
wonderful in its application to hu
man needs. Small deposits have
been found in some European coun
tries, but none had- been located in
the* United States previous to the
year 1912. But more than half the
radium of commerce now eflmes from
Colorado and Utah.
The rush to hospitals to secure
radium treatment for cancel’ is con
stantly increasing and the how and
wherefore are still mysterious.
Cancer is one of the world’s deadly
diseases that slays its thousands ev
ery year. It is one of the most dif
ficult to cure even if it is taken
in early stages.
But we are told that radium can
send its wonderful rays, through a
rubber screen, and consume diseased
human flesh without interfering with
the healthy flesh of the sufferer. Ni
trate of silver, lunar caustic, has this
property in lesser degree and when
applied to corns on the feet will
deaden the excrescence, and only
blacken the healthy skin around the
corn.
But this radium penetrates into
the human body and deadens the can
cer growth and does not destroy the
adjacent parts. Truly it is a world’s
wonder.
WHAT ABOUT THE TIPS?
Everybody that dines at a high
priced restaurant or occupies a berth
in a Pullman sleeper soon learns
something about the tipping busi
ness. 1 The waiters and the porters
are always expecting a tip. When
the trainman calls out Washington,
New York or Atlanta or any other
stopping place, the porter comes
along with a whisk-broom in his
hand to brush you off. More than
likely _ there is some dust on. your
traveling suit, but his appearance
with the whisk-broom is to . remind
you that you are expected to hand
over as much as a quarter, or you
may get down and out in the station,
with your own suitcase or bundles.
We just can’t face the of what
that miserable one will think of you
if you fail to get out the tip from
your, maybe, depleted purse. Doubt
less he laughs inside of him, because
he knows that you know, that vou
are that much afraid that he will
deem you stingy and that you would
not part with your coin—if other
people did not do so, almost univers
ally. The few flips that he gives
with the whiskbroom—are only re
minders—of the custom. And it’s tne
same way in high-saluting cases or
restaurants. At finger-bowl time, the j
waitei- is present with such assist- i
ance. He hovers over you. If you
put bill on the little tray—that
brought the fingerbowl, to be car
ried to the paying place—and there
is not much change to come out ot'
it—he will always be careful that
there is still a loose coin or two—to !
oe given for perhaps, very indifferent
service.
And you are so cowardly that you
do not rebuke, the indifferent boob
(as he deserve to be rebuked) by not
tipping him, but you know, and he
knows, you do know, that you are
trying to appear as liberal as the of
trying to appear as liberal as most
serves at your hands. The whole
tipping business seems to be a sort
of bunco. When the waiter pulls
back your chair—he knows and you
know, he knows, that he is far from
welcome to what he got, but you
were not brave enough to say so.
Smile Awhile
BY LEE KINGSTON
Near where the Hudson’s broad
expanse rolls calmly to the sea, a
mariner with tarry pants arose and
said to me: “You have a bland, re
ceptive look, in me you will be
lieve, nor have a hunch that I’m a
crook with purpose to deceive. My
Wife, the flower of her race, bit by
suspicion’s ■ bug, greets me with
heavy, leaden face, a sort of pewter
mug, but you’ll be glad that on this
date you met sme as you did, Bill
Bobstay is as fine a mate as ever
shifted quid. I’ve always had a fancy
to be garbed in gay attire, and if
we’re partners, me and you. I’ll get
what I desire. For, listen, I have
got a scheme and if with me you’ll
join, you’ll go through life as rich as
cream and loaded down with coin.
You know the stuff they get up north
that all perfumers beg; it’s amber
gris and it is worth a thousand bucks
a keg. Now I have found when
whales are ill they heave up good
and strong, then tambergris floats
round until some sailor comes along.
Now you and I’ll sail out of this into
the Northern sea, and how we’ll get
the ambergris, why, leave that part
to me. We won’t wait there until
the whales just naturally are sick;
but we’ll serve ipecac in pails and
so get action quick. Then we’ll sail
home and sell the stuff and paint
the village ed”—an interrupting
voice was gruff, and my companion
fled. Blue-coated guards soon cap
tured him and led him far away, but
still I think upon his plan and won
der would it pay.
The pendulum of time swings true
to your make-up.
A dog will bark the more readily
for applause.
The vanity of being well-dressed
is never-the-less pleasing.
Pride and hate co-operate.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
MARY MEREDITH SUGGESTS A
FEW HINTS ON GOOD MANNERS
When iaaies enter the room gen
tlemen should rise (this means boys
also) until the ladies are comfort
ably ( seated. When there are sev
eral people present, you should
neither do all the talking yourself,
or sit glum as if you were nursing
a grievance. Children’s interests
are just as important as grown
people’s, at the same time they
should not be allowed to interrupt
or correct any one else.
Well bred people have repose.
Children should learn not to fidget,
rock or drum with their fingers,
tap the foot on the floor, cross the
legs and swing, jump up and down,
squirm in the seat, bite the nails,
or twist the' face. All these are
nervous habits.
Do not leave work for others to
do. Hang up your clothes when you
take them off, and do not leave soil
ed clothing in the middle of the floor
for mother to pick up, or any one
else. Clean the mud off your shoes
before you enter the house/Put your
school books in a regular place,
and keep them -there until you need
them. If you use the kitchen for
any purpose, leave it tidy and leave
no soiled pans behind for others to
clean. Many a home has gone to
ruin on account of “untidiness and
lack of system.”
When you come out of your room
in the morning, you should be per
fectly clean, and fully dressed. After
the bath special care and attention
should be given the face, hands, fin
gernails, hair and teeth. A girl’s
shoes should be laced, dress button
ed, hair neatly brushed, and bows
of ribbon tied nrettily. Her belt
and neck dressing adjusted properlv
so they cannot get out of order.
Boy’s shoes must be polished. No
high water marks under his cuffs
be clean, he should have on his col
lar and tie and coat. In warm
weather, the coat rnay be left
off, but trousers neatly belted, and
not held up by a string or suspend
ers. It is due to your own self-re
spect to be neat at all times, wheth
er at home or visiting.
Your clothes should suit the oc
casion. ' For ever>r day, home, or
school and business wear, the best
materials of their kind may be
used, but the garments should be
simple in style and serviceable. You
should not be out of style, nor too
far in style. Extremes are not good
taste. Don’t make the mistake of
buying cheap and tawdry-looking
things. Find, what colors suit you
most, and learn to bring out your
own individuality.
Always say "Good Morning.” That
is the way to begin each da}' in
society—a pleasalnt reefing and you
hre in "society” as soon as you are
outside your bed room door. Begin
your goctj manners with your family,
and you won’t forget them when you
are with strangers.
Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest
way.
You should be self-possessed and
self-respecting, be natural. Be con
siderate of other people’s feelings.
Good manners as we call them, are
neither more nor less than good be
havior, consisting of courtesy and
kindness.
I am a lonely boj r of nearly nine
teen summers, begging you for ad
vice. There is a girl near my home
whom I cannot endure. I think
she must love me, for she often tells
me and others of her great devotion
to me in crowds when I am present,
as well as when I am absent. Os I
course it embarrasses me. It is
true that I have written to her. I
sent her an empty (Envelope, but it
didn’t stop her. So I stopped. I do
not care for this girl, but I do care
for another near the same town. She
doesn’t seem to care for me in the
least. Please tell me how to stop
her from Writing to me. I am in
an unromantic state of affairs and
can’t find the way out. Please give
me your best advice and nrint both
names. Thanks W. W. PEEK, Jr.
The young lady is entirely
wrong to do and say the things
she does about you. She hasn’t
any pride or else she wouldn’t
talk such nonsense. Not only is
it disgusting to you, but it must
be to others. There is nothing
for you to do but just ignore her
letters, do not answer them: pay
no attention to her at all: maybe
there will come a time when you
can tell her in a gentlemanly
sort of way you do not care for

her to make love to you or tell
your friends she loves you, be
cause they might form a wrong
opinion of her. Whatever you
do, be and act the part of a gen
tleman; in time this girl will
cease her foolishness, for that is
all it is. If you love another
girl And she cares nothing for
you. the only thing I can tell you
to do is simply be nice toward
her and bide your time; let her
see by your actions you are wor

least incur her respect, which,
in time, may ripen into love. We
cannot use the name of the girl
without her consent.
I am a girl of eighteen, coming to
you for advice. I am in love with
a boy of twenty-five years of age,
who 'writes me a letter about twice
a week, but never comes to my home,
he always wants me to meet him at
certain places, to go to the movies or
the theaters. I am in the tenth grade
and am thinking of going to college
next year. He has asked me to mar
ry him and I consented, which would
you advise me to fio. go on to school
or marry him, Fourth of July? He
is a very nice young man and is
thought lots of by everybody. He
hasn’t got a very good education, do
you think that I could teach him aft
er we are married? Thanking you
in advance, BLUE EYES.
I think the young man should
come to your home, unless your
parents object, and I suspect
they do, because, whether he
has any education or not, if he
I is a gentleman and conducts him
self in the proper manner, and
has no bad habits, I do not see
any reason why they would ob
ject to his calling at the home.
And it will look better for you.
An education is a splendid thing,
and as I have said often before,
it is something that cannot be
taken away from you, and can
be handed down from generation
to generation. Go to school while
you have the opportunity, and
don’t throw away your life on
a man who isn’t worthy of you.
who, after the glamour of ro
mance died out, you will be
ashamed of. For It is very hard
to teach a man anything; a man
can uplift a woman, but it is
very hard.for a woman to uplift
the man. They form habits ear
ly in life and have more free
dom, consequently they are, as
a whole, rather indifferent to
uplift societies, and would pre
fer going their own gait.
Dear Miss Meredith: I am coming
to you for advice. I have never gone
with but one boy in my life, and I
dearly love him. lam sixteen years
old. Don’t you think I am old enough
to marry? The boy I am going with
is twenty-five years of age and has
asked me to marry him, and I have
about decided to do so, as my par
ents don't care for his coming, and
I am afraid to turn him down; afraid
I will never have another chance.
Please give me your best advice, and
tell me if I write a good hand or not.
The boy is sure pretty.
ESTELLA.
You say you are only sixteen
and never have kept company
with but one boy, and you are
afraid you won’t have another
chance. You must be extremely
homely, or there isn’t but the
one boy In the town. You are
only just beginning to realize
what life is. and yet you are will
ing to grab the first chance you
have had. Suppose you do marry
this boy, and find out later he
isn’t the one you want after all,
suppose you meet another after
you have married this boy you
are going with now, when It is
too late to make your life what
you dream now, in your romantic
frame of mind, what will you do?
Don’t marry yet; wait awhile, be
sure you are honestly and truly
in love with this man before you
take such a serious step. It is so
easy to marry, but so hard to un
do the things you have done.
Consider well. Marriage is so
sacred and so serious, one should
give it a deep thought before
entering the contract, "for bet
ter or worse until death do us
part.”
I am coming to you for advice. I
am nineteen years old, going to high
school and in the ninth grade. Do
you think a girl can learn much in
TUESDAY, IdAl
her books when she is studying
about the boys all the time? Is it
wrong to let a boy put his arm
around on the car seat when you are
driving? Is it nice to go riding be
tween two boys?
Should I go on and finish my edu
cation, or marry? How about sisters
marrying brothers? Do you think
that is alright?
Tell me some way to wave my
hair? What is the latest style in
fixing the hair? Don’t you think I
ought to have a. little womanhood
about me at nineteen? But mother
says I’m a foolish little girl.
I meet new boys and go with them
a few times and get another one.
Don’t you think that is better than
falling’ in love with one and marry
ing him?) Do you know anything
to take the freckles off your face?
Anything to remove the hairs off
the arms?
Hoping I will see this in print this
week in The Journal. Thanking you
Very much. BROWN EYES.
Brown Eyes:
No, a girl cannot learn any
thing at school when she has
her mind full of boys. And there
is no use to try. She must give
up one or the other. Or settle
down to a happy medium, while
in school devote time to study,
and when out of school devote
time to boys. If you can work it
that way you are a good one.
Putting his arms on the car
seat or back, doesn’t always
mean that the boy is trying to
hug you. They are not always
thinking of such sentimental
stuff. But at the same time if
some one else would pass and
see his arm there, they might
criticize you, when you would be
entirely innocent and the boy
also. So you see that “public
opinion” makes cowards of us
all, and at the same time gives
us wonderful moral support.
There is no harm for two sisters
to marry two brothers. There is
no material harm for a girl to
sit between two boys, riding in
an auto. I think you are right
to go ahead and have a good
time with all the boys and not
settle to one yet awhile. There
are many ways to fix your hair,
first of all, let it be becoming.
The pompadour wave, which is
drawn away from the forehead
and puffed over the ears is a
new way. The hair is built rath
er high in the back of the head
and not on the nape of the neck.
I am not coming to you with love
affairs, as I am too young to trouble
my mind with such things. I want
to ask this question: Why are girls
as young as twelve and fourteen and
up to sixteen so silly about boys?
Don’t you get disgusted with such
letters? lam fourteen years old and
am enjoying my girlhood lots bet
ter than if I were always talking
about boys. Will write again soon
and tell you about some of my good
times. Please print this. By-by.
"LIGHT-HEART.”
You want to know why girls
as young as twelve and fourteen
write to me about their love af
fairs. It is the age when they
stand on the threshold of the
future. Life is just opening its
doors to them, and in their na
tures the deeper meaning of
life reveals itself. They begin to
realize they will soon be women;
And God, in his infinite wisdom
ordained that man should love
woman and woman love man.
And as boys and girls come to
the realization that they are
growing into man and woman
hood. little whispering voices
are calling to them, to love. It
is nature;. . . . But then is
the time to guard one’s self
against the lower and cruder
meanings. Young girls and boys
should be taught to thoroughly
understand "life” in its higher
and nobler plane. We suffer in
after vears for the mistakes of
our ymith, between the tender*
ages of twelve and eighteen.
Therefore, the proper training at
that time is essential to save
boys and girls from the awful
pitfalls which await them, when
brought on through ignorance.
Nature is God’s handiwork,
therefore pure and parents
should teach their children the
true meaning, so they may be
able to avoid grievious mistakes.
Hey, Listen!
Any absence causes changes.
Custom is the discipline for small
natures.
Everyone bargains for something.
Untried virtue is not immune.
Good taste is never in haste.

The Cause of such Symp
toms and Remedy Told
in This Letter. t
Syracuse, N. Y.—“ When I com
menced the Change of Life I was
poorly, had no
appetite and had
fainting spells, I
suffered for two
or three years
before I began
taking Lydia E.

which I saw ad
vertised in the
papers and in
your little books.
pOj
I took about 12 bottles of your Vege
table Compound and found it a won
derful remedy. I commenced to pick
up at once and my suffering was re
lieved. I have told others about your
medicine and know of some who have
taken it. I am glad to help others
all I can.’S—Mrs. R. E. Deming, 437

While Change of Life is a most
' critical period of a woman’s exist
ence, the annoying symptoms which
accompany it may be controlled, and
normal health restored by the timely
use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Moreover, this reliable remedy con
tains no narcotics or harmful drugs
and owes its efficiency to the medici

New Invention Sent on 30 Days’ Trial With
out Expense to You
Simply send me your name and I will
send you my new copyrighted rupture book
and measurement blank. When you return
the blank I will send you my new invention
for rupture. When it arrives put it on and
wear it. Put it to every test you can think

like it. You will wonder now you ever got
along with the old style cruel spring truss
es or belts with leg straps of torture. Your
own good, common sense and your own doc
tor will tell you it is the only way in which
yon can ever expect a cure. After wearing
it 30 days, if it is not entirely satisfactory
in every way—if it is not easy and com

rupture getting better, and if not convinced
that a cure is merely a question of time.
Just return it and you are out nothing. Any
rupture appliance sent on 30 days’ trial with
