From one point of view, this -was no doubt quite proper, but now that crop diversification has become more necessary and essential than in pre vious years, grass and clovers intel ligently selected and planted are like- Tv to prove the farmers’ most val i uable friends. This being true, a I good deal of worth-while data i concerning some of our common clovers and the better known of the grasses adapted to general cultiva tion has been ■ gathered together and I is presented in concrete form for our readers. This information is based on the investigations made by the division of agronomy of the Georgia State College of Agriculture through its field representative, Mr. Paul Tabor. * , , Bur clover is our best annual clov er, but is very hard to get started on most of our lands. It also winter kills sometimes, over most of the state and disappears if grazed hard during the spring. Normally it passes through the winter unharmed and reseeds itself during April and May. With care, it yields well on good land, furnishing plenty of early spring grazing. It is relished by hogs, but not so well by cattle or horses, some refusing it altogether, but the majority soon learn to like it. Bur clover seed do not germinate well. This is due in part to' hard seed coats, in part to the protection offered by the bur and to the fall droughts so common in Georgia. For this reason either heavy seeding or special conditions must be provided to secure a good stand of bur clover. If seeded . broadcast, from four to six bushels of seed per acre should be used, but if put in rows a smaller amount will suffice. Seeding in rows is more certain, especially if stable manure an<". acid phosphate are used. Usually enough inoculating material is carried in the dirt with the seed. For late fall seeding clean seed are recommended. To secure them the burs are cleaned and ground slight ly in a small feed mill. This will shell the seed and make it possible to separate them with a sieve. Cleain seed require inoculation. Black medic is a close relative to but clover and alfalfa but smaller than either. Its value lies in the ability to grow on poor soils and to produce a very high quality grazing. It starts mere slowly than bur clov er, but goes longer in the summer. Most of our experience with it is limited to moye fertile limestone soils though it is really only a possi bility under average Georgia condi ti-ns. In oculation is necessary, but soil in which bur clover or alfalfa has grown recently will successfully inoculate the black medic. From ten to fifteen pounds of seed per acre during the fall or late winter as suf ficient for a good stand. In extreme north Georgia Red Top is considered the best hay grass available. It is also used to some extent for grazing. Over the re mah er of Georgia it has good prom ise as an early spring pasture grass. In South Georgia it will succeed only in the low places and sometimes poorly there, but in the remainder of the state it will add materially to the early grazing, especially on bottom soils. From four to ten pounds of seed per acre seeded during the fall are needed. For early art late growing, or chard grass is excellent. In north Georgia it can be used to good ad vantage on the fertile, partly shaded spots. Its adaptation to south Geor gia conditions is not definitely known but is questionable. Orchard grass should be seeded on a prepared seed bed during the fall at a rate of six to twenty pounds of seed per acre, depending on the amount of other grasses used. It is a perennial, so will live for years. Tall oat is similar to orchard grass in the time of growing, but is more exacting in its requirements. Disease and drought will cause it to succumb more quickly. On fertile uplands, however, it can be used to advantage. From ten to twenty pounds of seed per acre are needed. Rescue grass is an annual, fur nishing grazing during late fall and early spring. It is adapted only to good soils and must be grazed with care if reseeding occurs. Seeding should be done during the fall at the rate of twenty pounds per acre. Arc tic grass or cheat is similar to' res cue grass. It will grow on poorer soils, however, and for this reason is favored more highly by some. Rye grass will make excellent pas turage during the spring for one year. Under our conditions, even the perennial, rye grass, disappears, aft er one season. Sometimes it reseeds Driver Agents Wanted s Pri n K 116-in. Sus- Wheel I pen- Base sion 5-Pass.

Bush, Pres,, Dept. 0-3 S D U u 11 MOTOR CO., Bush Temple, Chicago sufficiently for another crop and quite often it does not. Twenty pounds per acre during the early fall is the re quired amount of seed for a full seeding. Kentucky blue grass can be uti lized to a limited extent in north Georgia on the fertile clay lands partly protected from the sun. The northern slopes and the spaces un der occasional trees are the only places in which it will maintain a good sod through the summer. Five to ten pounds of seed per acre sown on unplowed land during early fall will be suited to our conditions. Ken tucky blue grass sod should be kept well packed at all times. The best pastures in Georgia are on the low lands. These places are moist and rich, consequently will give an excellent growth of grass. Much of the low land, in north Geor gia especially, cannot be put in pas ture because it is needed to grow corn. There are, however, many places where crops are destroyed by overflow, or water-logging, but where grass would survive. Thousands of acres of bottoms in both north and south Georgia now growing nothing but bushes and timber of little value could be put to grass. Some hill land should be included also to furnish grazing when the low lands are flood ed. Hill lands only are not very de pendable, due to summer and fall droughts, but if they have not been worn out a fairly good pasture can be made. If the land is exhausted, very little growth of grass can be expected, yet the majority of Geor gia farmers will turn to such places first in trying to develop a pasture. On poor uplands very little expense should be incurred as the returns will be small. If these soils can be cultivated it would be best to im prove them by growing several crops of velvet beans or cowpeas before seeding to grass. Enough grazing can be secured to pay the expense of growing the crop. Quite often these soils cannot be cultivated, and in such cases they must be used for pastures in their depleted condition. They should then be allowed to pro duce the necessary shade for the ani mals and as much Lespedeza as pos sible. Grass lands need to be prepared differently from corn and cotton lands. The seedbed must be very shallow but finely prepared and the sub-surface compact. Young grass plants send down their roots much more slowly than do corn or cotton plants, hence cannot live so well in a loose soil that dries out quickly. After land for grass is plowed it should be packed. This can be done with or roller or with cattle tramping over the area, or by several rains. Clearing the land of native grasses, bushes and trees is also important, for much of the future pastures now grow wild grasses and sedges or bushes and trees. A lot of patience will be necessary to clear these lands most economically. If the under growth be very dense one or more judicious burnings during a dry time in the spring will be of great value. Then, by using goats to graze the bushes or by chopping down the bushes with hoes or bush hooks at least once a year, the undergrowth can be completely destroyed in a few seasons. To clear the land of trees is a more difficult problem, es pecially if they cannot be utilized for wood or timber. In such case the smaller ones should be cut and piled and the larger ones girdled and al lowed to die. Seeding should be done shortly afterward to allow the good grasses to establish themselves be fore the broomsedge and briers take possession of the land. A used disc harrow is very valuable in prepar ing the seedbed in such places. There are some grazing areas in the state so large that the above method cannot be used. They are mostly cut-over pine lands, growing wiregrass, broomsedge and light wood-knot grass. To get these areas in improved grasses the present growth can be reduced and eventual ly killed by very heavy grazing from the time of burning in the spring until fall. If the native grasses are kept less than two inches tall they remain tender enough to graze throughout the season. A light seed ing of carpet grass and lespedeza without preparing a seedbed when heavy grazing is begun will result in these plants occupying the ground in a few years. Care must be used in providing extra pasture during the droughts when such close grazing is practiced. In seeding grass a moist time should be selected. For spring seed ing the months of February and March and for fall seeding Octobei’ and November will be the best dates. The seeds should be evenly distribut ed over the area by means of a seed er or broadcast by hand and cover ed lightly. If broadcast by hand it is well to sow one-half the seed across the field in one direction and the other half at right angles to the first. In covering the seed a spike tooth harrow, weeder or a brush is needed. If the land is not compact it would be well to allow animals to trample it. Helping the Tobacco Crop Forward R. B. Alpaha, Ga„ writes: I am having trouble with my to bacco. It is very small and wants to button and is pale in color. Would you advise using nitrate of soda on it? Weather conditions have Leen very unfavorable for all crops. The cold, wet weather we have had has un doubtedly interfered with your to bacco, and in spite of all you can do, it is not likely to attain rapid and vigorous growth until seasona conditions improve. From what you say, however, we feel certain that your crop is not well supplied with available nitrogen. It is esential that you use considerable amounts of this element as tobacco . must grow rapidly -and develop vigorous plants with uniformly developed leaves to yield the most profitable harvest. I suggest, therefore, under the circumstances, that you use nitrate of soda as a side-application on this crop. I would apply one hun dred pounds per acre, and I would put it on very soon. It should be put on when the plants are dry and after a rain rather than before. One, of course, cannot always prognostic cate weather, but when nitrogen is put on just before a heavy rain, part of it may be washed away and lost. It should not be covered into the soil and should be put down alongside the drill row. but not close enough to touch the plants. The roots spread over considerable areas of ground, and if the nitrogen is ap plied in the vicinity of the plants, the root will reach out and gather it un as fast as the needs of the plants make it desirable. Growing Onions on a Commercial Scale J. H. D., Unadilla, Ga., writes: What months do you advise sowing Bermuda onion seed for transplanting in this section? Onion sets may be put out from January to April and from Septem ber to November. They should be placed at a depth of from one to two inches. The rows should be from fiften inches to two feet apart and the sets should be placed from four to six inches in the drill. It will take about a quart of seed to fifty feet of row, or eight bushels per acre. Onion sets will mature in from ninety to one hundred and twenty days. Seed may be sown in October in the open for transplating in Jan uary to April. Seeding may be again done in March or April to develop sets for planting in September to November. Bermuda onions are not hardy except in the region of the gulf and Atlantic coast. They might occasionally go through the winter at inland points, but there is danger of their being destroyed or injured by cold weather. The Yellow Dan ver, the Prize Taker and the Silver Skin are hardy sorts. My onions planted about the first of March are now ready so 1 ’ eating. I will not thin the row, however, but let them grow and de velop until they die down in early August.. I will then save these sets and replant them at any time after the first of January when a good season is in the soil. By this ar rangement, onions may be had for eating or for sale about November 1, and they can be used all winter I even in this section.

I was born and raised in the country until I was nine years old. On my seventh birth day I had a party. Look at any seven-year-old child in your vicinity and see what a little tot I must have been at that early day. It was also an al fresco gathering, which means an outdoor function. Our schoolhouse was in sight and the invited youngsters gathered in my home yard at about 3 p. m., on June 10, 1842, when I was seven years old. There was a famous cedar tree between the front and back yard and it gave a splendid shade. The table was spread under the cedar tree. My mother’s best table linen and table ware were in use, and the house servants (it was, of course, in slavery time) were all dressed in their best, and glad to see the chil dren enjoy themselves. We were only in the house awhile and it was the fashion in those early days to have the drawing room (we had no par lors) in order for visitors, by wax ing the floor and rubbing it in until it was not only sleek but shiny. One of the schoolboys, a trifle order than myself, wore a pair of brand-new shoes, and the soles were as sleek as the floor. When he attempted to catch one of his boy friends, his heels flew up and his head struck at the same time. We were candid little folks, and we laughed until he felt uncomfortable. So the dear mother concluded we could play in the big, clean yard and enjoy the frolic without falling down on the waxed floor. It was the eating time that attracted us. We had everything that a well-to-do family could get prepared and served in that plentiful era of my life. Every one had what they wanted and then we were so full and tired of excitement that the children were ready to start on home with the older school children that had been in school the most of the day. Dear readers, that has been seventy-eight years ago, and I seem to see everything clearly that I en joyed on that happy occasion. about October 1 will have sets for transplanting in January as already pointed out. These seed will make large onions in first April and May. depending a good deal on seasonal conditions. DESTROYING BORERS IN PECAN TREES O. M. A., Tennille, Ga., writes: t have a pecan orchard begin ning to bear. Very small borers have recently killed three trees, and are now in the trunks of three others. What can I do to destroy them and prevent their return? The best way of controlling borers attacking pecans is as follows: Take a sharp, fine pointed knife and cut the borers out. The wound should then be painted so that it will heal quickly. Trees Should be examined at least twice a year for borers, and every one which can possibly be lo cated should be immediately killed. Injury from borers is often encour aged by careless laborers who abrade or injure the bark of the trees. Trees which are not making a hearty, vigorous growth and those which have been injured by sun scald are most susceptible to this trouble. Clean cultivation and liber al fertilization of the orchard will often minimize the damage which might otherwise be done by pests of this character. CONTROLLING CORN WEEVILS R. T. H., Tilton, Ga.. writes: We are troubled with corn weevils and would appreciate it if you will tell us how to pre vent this trouble. Weevils may be destroyed in corn by treating it with carbon bisul- will describe myself: Four feet tall, weigh seventy-five pounds, light hair, blue eyes and light complexion. Who has my birth day, June 27? I will leave my age for you to guess; it's between ten and thirteen. I guess I will bid you all adieu. Remember to write to me and see if you don’t get an answer. Your new cousin, Bremen, Ga. SARAH WIDENER. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you please admit another Georgia girl into your charming circle? Like most of the cousins, I live in the country and like country life fine. Say, why don’t you sailors and sol diers write? We all enjoy reading your let ters. I guess you cousins wonder what I look like, so here I go: Dark hair, light complexion, dark brown eyes, 4 feet 10 inches tall, weigh 100 pounds. Come back, Luther Huff; I have not told my age yet; I am twelve years old and will be thirteen the 28th of February, 1921. I would be glad to receive some letters or cards on that date. I guess I ha dbetter go before Aunt Julia gets after me. I will close for this time. I will answer all mail received. A new cousin, LUCILE BRANTLEY. Cedar Springs, Ga. P. S. —Some of you cousins write to me. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will yon let another Georgia boy join your happy band of boys and girls? Well, as it is the rule, I will describe myself: Blue eyes, fair complexion, light hair, 4 feet 5 Inches high, weigh seventy pounds and am ten years old. I am in the fourth grade in school. My teacher’s name is Miss Mattie Trotter. Well, as my letter is getting long, I guess I had better go. With love to Aunt Julia and cousins, BRYAN BARRON. Clarkesville, Ga., Route 3. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes a new cousin to join your happy band of boys and girls. Well, as the other cousins describe themselves, I will do likewise: I have dark brown hair, blue eyes and fair complexion; I am 4 feet 10 inches tall, and my age is between twelve and fifteen. Willis Owen. I have your birthday. I go to school at Enterprise and study the sixth grade. You girls , write to me. I will close by asking a riddle: Higher than a house, higher than a tree; oh, whatever can that be? Your new cousin, LENA DYKES. Verbena, Ala., Route 1. Box 47. Rap! ran!

Now, cousins, you all can come out from behind the door, for I am through. I would like to hear from some of you cousins. I guens I had better run on, for I hear Aunt Julia comjng with the broom, so I bid you nil adieu. BERNICE BARRON. Clarkesville, Ga., R. F. D. No. 3. Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please let ns in for a short chat. We are great chums and have some time together. We live about two miles south of Rebecca. I, Martha, attend sehosl at Luke and have a real nice time. Some of you cousins come down and help me translate Latin. I, Fan nie, do not attend school, but have a very good time. You all ought to come down to see ns this summer. Wo would show you a jolly good time attending picnics, parties, sings and going in swimming and horseback riding. How many of you cousins have planted your flower seed? We sure will be glad when dear old spring gets here. We had better quit before Mr. W. B. gets this. Aunt Julia, please print this if you have space. We would like to hear from some of you cousins near our ages, which are six teen and eighteen. Best wishes to Aunt Julia, the cousins and Yvonne. MARTHA RANEW. FANNIE POPE. Rebecca, Ga., Route No. 1. I remember my pretty new dress and the yellow sash about my waist and I Expect we were all a droll set of little ones, made shy by our Sunday clothes on this dress-up oc casion. In all these intervening years it has been pleasant to recall the happy birthday party whenever I have seen other children just as happy in my later years. I have been the mother of five dear children. All are in the “better land” save one. and he passed his fifty-first birthday four days ago. The fifth of June was also my only daughter’s birthday, and she would have been sixty-four years old today, if she had lived to bless her mother’s home and life. Because my mind is full of these birthday anniversaries I am writing to the dear Tri-Weekly Journal read ers about my thoughts on my eighty fifth birthday. I am so thankful to the dear Lord for His protecting mercies that I’ am glad to set down that gratitude in print. He has led me a long way in safety to this good day of grace and gospel. In sunshine and storm, my path has been cleared in front of me. I have often been very anxious— have had all sorts of ups and downs as to fortune, have lost dear ones when the grief was heavy, yet the Father* in Heavon has brought rhe to the present hour, in normal health and still anxious to do all the good I may and be as happy as I can and to serve my day and generation faithful and loyal to the end. I count among my privileges and enjoyments the satisfaction of writ ing to you dear readers twice a week. I think about you a great deal of what the present serious unrest in the world will do for your future and your progress, educational, re ligious and commercial. I's I could have my way you should have a clear and open path to the best things in all these lines of sat isfaction and prosperity. But we should never forget that God is in His heavens and it will be well at last with the world.” My kindest regards and loving hopes are yours—one and all. phide. To accomplish this, place the corn in a comparatively tight box or bin. Next, secure a quantity of carbon bisulphide and pour about one-fourth to one-half pound out into a shallow pan. This should be placed on top of the box or bin con taining the grain, and the whole should then be covered with a heavy tarpaulin or anything which will cover the box satisfactorily. Carbon bisulphide evaporates very quickly. It is much heavier than air. It penetrates rapidly to every part of the box and effectively destroys grain weevils. Grain should be treated for about twenty-fowr hours’, and you should use one and one-half to two pounds of the carbon bisul phid per ton of grain to be treated. If you do not treat it for more than thirty-six hours, the germinating power of the grain will not be affect ed. In open cribs or porous build ings, it may be necessary to use about twice the quantity ordinarily found necessary. As the grain weevil lays eggs which hatch and permits of the development of adult weevils in a period of about six weeks, it is easy to see how there may be as maney as six broods in a given year in the south. It is desir able, therefore, that the grain be treated about once every six weeks dr ing the warmest weather so as to effectually kill out and destroy weevils hatching from eggs laid pre viously to any given treatment. A sandstorm, which wrecked huge stone walls in China, uncovered to explorers the name of Touei Tze, who gave libraries to the people throughout China in the fifth cen tury. MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I want some advice please. No' I’m not coming as the bigest portion of girls come. I want some real advice, not relating to boys either. Can you tell me what causes the hair to split at the ends? And is there any cure for it and what is it? What causes oily hair? And if there is a remedy? Please tell me. What causes black head pimples and what will take them off? Thanking you for your advice. Sincerely MODESTY. Modesty: The cause of hair splitting at the ends, is dryness, lack of nourishment. Oily hair is caused by weakened hair glands or ducts, and nervousness. I have a recipe a subscriber sent to me a few days ago, saying that it would make the hair grow and it seems to be all-round good for the hair. You can try it if you wish. One teaspoonful sulpher and pure hog lard (not cotolene) enough to make a paste. Rub the scalp thoroughly and let it stay on four hours. Then wash off with rainwater. Be sure and use hog-lard and rainwater, or else you will not get results. Subscriber guarantees this to improve' the scalp and grow healthy hair. Use once or twice a month. For bumpy complexion and black heads, cleanse the face first with a good cold cream, then scrub well with pure castle soap, using the finger tips to work the soap in, then bathe freely in water hot enough to stand on the face, so as to dis solve the soap and grease. Then finally cold or iced water, used freely. That closes the pores. Do not use creams or powders of any sort until the face heals. In meantime to be careful of your diet. Keep the system free of poisonous matter, drink plen ty of water. And if what I have told you won’t improve your looks, nothing will. I am twenty years of age and go with a man of thirty-seven. When our acquaintance first began I did not like him. He was very nice and good to me and I finally grew to like him, from liking to what I thought love for him. He detected the change and proposed. I accepted. For the last six months I have found I did not love him and have told him so, but he begs me to marry him, say ing he will win my love back. But I don’t feel that way. I don’t want to be fickle- and break my promise. I have tried to loye him again and cannot. Please tell me what to do. Eleven o’clock is my retiring time. When a young man calls and speaks of leaving at ten, must I ask him to stay longer, or tell him he might do so? If he only says “good-night,” must I tell him I have enjoyed his company? When I receive a note asking for a date to call and they do not mention the time, must I write them the time to call? Thanking you in advance, I am, Your friend, PEGGIE. Peggie: You never really loved the young man; you just felt im pressed by his, love for you. For if you had you would not have been so changeable. I would not marry him if I wete you unless you are positive you can love him. If you do not now, Ido not think you ever will. Do not make your life and his unhappy, unless you love him, because it takes a lot of love to sail through life’s sea of matrimony together. Life is not hard to bear when trials come, when you love each other. If a young man wants to leave at ten, do not urge him to stay; he may need rest, or have many things to do, which he doesn’t feel concerns you. When you re ceive a note asking to call to see you, answer it and say what evenings you are free to have his company, and if it is agreeable you will expect him on that date. I am a lonely girl of nineteen summers, and am coming to you for advice. I have been going with a boy four months, whom I love very dearly and am engaged to him to be married, but my parents won’t allow me to go with him. For a while, they were not so bitterly against him, but my brother had told me never to go with him, he also made me send back the engage ment ring. The boy knows that my people don’t want me to go with him, but he still tries to go with me, although he doesn’t come to my home. I have told him that I cannot go with him any more any time soon. He says he loves me better now than ever be fore. My parents say that if I marry him" I can never come back home. Do you think they will clFange after we are married. He hasn’t any bad habits, in fact, he is really the nicest boy I have ever been with. I cannot say how he does around others, but he acts with decency around me, I have never seen him misbehave, and I knew him about two years before I went with him any. They have said so many ( harsh things about him, I don’t know whether to marry him or not, but I can never really be happy without .him and he says he cannot without me. What would you advise me to do? Answer through the Journal at once. And oblige, GREY EYES. Four . months is not long enough to find out about a man. I wouldn’t be too hasty if were you. At the same time I wouldn’t give him up just because others dislike him. Just be quiet and say nothing at all about the young man to your family, but try to find out the real cause of their dislike for him. They may have a very good reason that you do not know. I would wait at least six months longer, and if you still care for him and he is a gentle man and you are positive he is decent morally and honest, then marry him. But go a little slow just now, keep your thoughts to yourself land see what is the real cause of your family’s dislike. Perhaps your mother thinks you are too young to marry any one. Live as peaceably home as you can and try not antago nize your mother and brothers. Maybe you can win them yet to your idea of thinking. Tact and diplomacy can accomplish more than all the arguments in the world.

Children love its fruity taste. Full directions on each bottle. You must say “Califor nia.”— (Advt.) SATURpAT, JUNE 12, 1920. Here comes a Noth Carolina girl for advice. I was going with a nice young gentleman regular until one night he called to see me without an engagement. At the same time I was going with a boy just once in a while, and that night the young gentleman came the other boy was to see me. Neither of them had an engagement with me. The young gentleman and I were very close friends, but he has not been at my home to see me since that night. But I went away to his home town to visit my aunt, and he came to see me almost every day and night. I still have his ring and a few very nice presents he’s given to» me, and he gave me his picture the last time he came to see me. We’ve not had any cross words at all. I wrote to him since I came home and before I went to visit, and he will not or has not answered my letters. Tell me what he means by acting so. He says he loves me as dear as ever. What would you advise me to do? I’ve offered him his ring and all the presents he gave me, but he will not take them back. He says he has no reason for wanting them, as he is not mad with me. Please answer this letter in the paper. PET. Are you perfectly sure you did not make an engagement with both the young men? I know girls pretty well, and a lit tle about boys. Girls are sweet and dear, but they will tell little fibs about their love affairs. If you were innocent of any wrong, your best beau took offense, let him alone. Do not lose your selfrespect or pride by catering to a man who is so narrow as all that. Let him alone. Keep his presents and ignore him entire ly. But secretly hold to him if you care for him. He will event ually come around, if he cares anything at all for you. Give him time. Then, if he does not try , to see you and make up with you, and you have any presents given in an engagement form, return them, but 1 do not be lieve in returning presents given in any other spirit. Would you give back the presents you get on Christmas from any other triend? A gift is a gift. And men should not be so free with their money and buy girls ex pensive presents unless they want them to keep them. It may teach them a lesson or two. Miss Meredith, as I am a mother less girl and do not even remember mother, 1 am coming to you for ad vie>. I am a school teacher, age twenty-four. 1 am fond of teaching, too. I have never cared very much for boys only, as friends, but not as beaus. Most of them claim, me as their sweetheart, though. I am now corresponding with a nice boy who is just a little older than myself. He says he loves me dearly and will never be satisfied without me, and 1 am the only girl he ever has or ever can love and that he loved me the first time we met. How can I tell whether he really loves me or not, as I want a loving husband? Sev eral have told me just such as that before. I have blue eyes, black hair, me dium complexion. What colors will suit me? How long should I wear my dresses? Now, if you were me, you marry now or teach school awhile longer? I thank you for any advice. A JOLLY GIRL. If you have one grain of intui tion, it seems to me your sense would tell you whether a man is in love with you. He will prove it by wanting to be with you, by trying to see you every opportunity, to praise you, by being thoughtful, by his face lighting up when he sees you, the object of his adoration com ing toward him, “yea, in a thou sand ways”—the way of man ever since the time of Adam. There is no set rule, but they nearly always play the same game. Heavens, don’t marry a man unless you can reciprocate some of lus affection. I should say, a great deal. Teach school all your life, and be independ ent, but do not cheapen yourself by selling yourself to a man for his goods and chattels. I am a great believer in love; love for friends, for work, for play, for music, and everything, and a big believer in love for husband and wife, for with such a firm foun dation, the devil won’t be able to get his horns edeged in any of the crevices he sees about. And I am not an old mai, either. I LETTER FORWOMEN : rom a Woman Whose Serious Illness ¥as Overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Garnett, Kas.— “l first took Lydia E.
