'HAD NERVOUS
BREAK-DOWN
But Health Restored to Tex
as Lady, Who Is Now Well
and Strong, Able to Do
All Her Housework
and More
Rosebud. Texas. Mrs. Annie
Lange, of R. F. D. No. 4, this place,
writes as follows regarding her ex
perience with Cardul; “Some time
ago I had a nervous break-down of
some kind. . . I was very weak
and so nervous. It all seemed to
• come from ... trouble, for at
. . . I had fainting spells and
suffered a great deal, but more from
the weak, trembly, no-account feel
ing than anything else. I knew I
needed a tonic, and needed it badly.
“I began the use of Cardul, to see
if I couldn’t get some strength, as I
knew of other cases that had been
helped by its use. I felt better.
. . , I soop saw a great improve
ment, so kept it up.
"I used seven bottles of Cardul,
and can say the money was well
spent, for I grew well and strong.
Now able to 'do all my house work
and a great deal of work besides.”
If you are run-down, weak, nerv
ous, and suffer from the ailm.ents
peculiar to woman, It Is very like
ly that Cardul will help you, In the
way it has helped thousands of oth
ers, during the past 40 years.
Take Cardul, the woman’s tonic.

No letter written on both sides of paper printed.
All letters not ‘o exceed 150 to 200 words.
Dear Children:
I have had so many requests for “In Flanders Fields” that I
am going to put it at the head of your column this issue. Truly the
lesson of keeping faith is a big one. We all have obligations, and
unless we meet thnm, we have failed to keep faith.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders Field the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
* We are the dead.
Short days ago we lived, felt dawn,
Saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe,
To you from falling hands we throw the torch.
Be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
—By Lt. Col. John McCrae, whose body lies In Flanders fields.
Columbia, 8. C., Aug. 23, 1920.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
ull move over and make room for another
cousin. I’m from dear old South Carolina
and me thinks about one of the best states
in the union. Os course I’d think so, eh?
I used to read the letter box right often
but I hardly ever see the paper any more.
Now I'm going to write a short letter
and I hope It may find its way into print,
for I have a friend that's a "doubting
Thomas." They say that our cousins cor
ner is only “made up” by the newspapers
to make them just that much more attrac
tive to the public. Now if you will be so
kind as to print this little note I'll con
vince at least one "doubting Thomas.”
What have you cousins been doing this
summer? Having a nice time 1 guess. I
have been quite busy as I’m a "working
girl.” I had three weeks vacation though
and I manage to have lots of fun, and
enjoy life even if I do work. When I’m
busy is when I am happiest. Now cousins,
as this is my first letter I’ll not make
it so long as I want it to miss the waste
basket. If any of you cousins would like
to learn more of your cousin just let the
letters fly. I’ll not describe myself either,
for you all might get scared. I’m just an
"ugly old maid."'Ha! My age is between
21 and 27. Now who can guess my age.
Well I’ll sure own the truth for I’m only
a kid. Don’t you see? How many of you
cousins like to make kodak pictures? I’m
just crazy about them. Let your letters
come cousins. I’ll promise a reply and will
tell you more about our country and my
work. Love and best wishes to you all, a
new cousin,
ANNIE KIRKLAND,
Columbia, S. C., General Delivery.
Well, I thought I would try to come
in again. Auntie I surely agree with you
about the cousins’ letters getting more in
teresting, but I think if we would try
real hard we could do better than we
have. I also am in favor of adopting the
American child. I will send my bit when
you decide fully.
I wish some of the cousins and you
too, Auntie, was down here on the farm
to help me eat fruit, go in swimming and
fishing.
My oldest sister is attending a teachers’
institute in town and eo I am real lone
some. Also I have the cows to milk by
myself. v
My favorite books are: "Freckles,”
"Elsie Dinsmore” and "Pollyanna.” 1 have
read many Interesting books and am just
crazy about good reading matter. I am
fifteen years of age and in the eighth
grade at school. Would like to receive let
ters and cards. Hoping to see this in print,
I remain, lovingly,
DEANE HITCH,
Matthews, N. C., R. 26.
Dear Aunt Julia undo Cousins: I wonder
what you are doing this cool weather. 1
am not doing anything much. We are hav
ing rain down here in North Carolina. I
will describe tnyself, if you cousins won’t
laugh: Blue eyes, brown hair, fair complex
ion, thirteen years old. How many of you
cousins have flowers? Mine did not do well
this year. I sure do love flowers. How
many of you cousins have the wall flow
ers? I have for one. Thia is my third time
to write, so Aunt Julia, please print this.

Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit two Georgia girls to chat awhile witn
you all. We will promise not to stay long,
as this is our first visit. We have been
a silent reader of the letter box for a long
time. .There is nothing we enjoy any better
than reading the cousins’ interesting let
ters. Cousins, come and spend the sum
mer with us. We will have a nice time at
tending the protracted meetings. Come
again, Thelma Gaylord and Annie Belle Ha
gins. WKlshing Aunt Julia and all the
cousins much success and a happy future.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: May 1
say just a few words? First, I am here in
favor of educating some little American or
phan. Second, I want to get acquainted
with all of you good-looking cousins; and
you all are good-looking, aren't they Aunt
Julia? Well, there's one here that’s not
good-looking and that’s me. Ha! ha!
Aunt Julia, I like our motto and think
that every one of us ought to live up to
that motto and also to live so that some
time in life we will realize our highest
id fome on, Georgia boys and girls; we
must not let the other states get ahead
of us.
Will say that I am seventeen years old
and live in northeast Georgia in Hart coun
ty and just five miles from Hartwell. La.
' Will not describe myself, as some of you
cousins might get frightened.
Evelvn rp an°e Vincent, why don t you an
swer inv letter? Helfo. Virgil Haile and
Dnniel E. Osborne. Wonder what you all
are doing for a good time. I am eating
neaehes. Come to see me, cousins, and we
will eat peaches. That invitation is for
you, too. Aunt Julia. t
Have I written too much, Aunt Julia.
Pleare print this letter for I want some of
vou cousins to write to me. Will try to
answer all I recive as soon as possible. Will
send my bit just as soon as Aunt Julia de
what she is going to do. I. for one
hope that all will decide to send "o™.. lut h;

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I thought
I would drop in a while this afternoon,
if you will permit me.
I guess some of you remember me. i
live in the country, and like it fine, though
I think sometimes I would prefer living in
the city, for I would have a better chance
to get an education.
Aunt Julia, I am in favor of supporting
an American child. It would be so nice to
help some poor little child get an education.
I will help some if you will decide to do
wish some of yon cousins could visit
me now. We have ripe grapes, peaches, ap
ples and pears. We would have a nice
time, all right.
Alma Odom, what has become of you?
T wrote you last. Would like to hear from
von again. I can’t rorget you and Berdie
Frey. I’d like to hear from you also. I
haven’t forgotten you. either.
Say, you soldiers and sailors, write often.
I like to read your tetters.
Please, Aunt Julia, don’t let the waste
basket see this.
Say, who has my birth date, December
1? I will be eighteen.
With love to Aunt Jnlia and all the
cousins, I will bld you all adieu,
NETTIE FREY,
Marietta, Ga., Route. 6.
Dearest Aunt Julin and Cousins: Will
you admit two South Carolina girls in
vour happy circle? We take The Journal,
and 7 think it is the grandest paper in
the world. Well, I will describe myself.'

I do hope Mr. W. B. has gone for a
stroll until our letter gets in print. Well,
as this Is our first letter, I will make it
short and snappy. If any of you girls
and hoys want to correspond with us, just
let your lettes fly to ns. Hope to see this
in print. Will close with a riddle. Some
thing God didn't make and man never did
see. With love to all the cousins and Aunt

Mrs. Solomon Says:
By HELEN ROWLAND
Being- The Confessions of the
Seven-Hundredth Wife
(Copyright, 1920, by The Wheeler Syndl-
MY SON, in matters of love,
some men are born wise, a
few acquire wisdom; but
many will not even permit
.wisdom to be thrust upon them.
For a youth of twenty regardeth
love-making as a sport rather than
as an art; but at forty, he seeth his
folly, and lamenteth It.
Now, in a certain city, there dwelt
a youth, who boasted openly, saying:
"Behold, I have kissed a woman!”
And the damsels hearkened, and
said, \ How interesting!”
But/the young men mocked him
with/ z jeers and laughter; and they
forntad a "club,” and elected the un-
Kissed youth the only member there
of.
And they named him “The Lily,”
saying:
“Poor dub! He knoweth not what
he hath missed!”
But there came unto him a bachelor
who knew women, and who had grad
uated in the school of experience,
with high honors and many medals
And the bachelor cheered the youth,
saying:
“Bravo, my son! Thou art exceed
ing wise! Yea, thou art knowing
beyond thy years!
“For 10, thou hast already awak
ened the curiosity of women, and
made thyself a reputation amongst
them. And henceforth, every dam
sel shall determine to be the first
to kiss thee.
“Yet, I charge thee, as thou treas
urest the thrills of life, be not
tempted! Nay, in all thy days, kiss
no woman, for pastime, neither for
curiosity; and give not any damsel
a meaningless kiss, even to please
her!
“For a kiss without sentiment is
as meat without salt; yea, it is as
non-intoxicating as a home-made
beverage!
“And he that taketh kissing as an
amusement, and wasteth his kisses
upon every kissable woman, shall
soon lose all discrimination.
“But he that preserveth his kisses
for the few, and his sentiment for
the select, shall be called ’lrresisti
ble’ amongst women; and his door
shall be hung with garlands, and his
days filled with thrills and with
conquests.
“Verily, verily, unto one man, a
kiss is a pastime, and unto another
a privilege; unto, one man a sacra
ment; and unto another an experi
ment; unto one man a habit, and unto
another an art.
“But, unto the last of these, nly,
it never becometh a BORE.
“For he that kisseth not ofen, but
wisely, knoweth the Real Thing
from the Imitation, and cannot be
deceived by ‘artificial honey.’
“Likewise, ke knoweth that the
sweetest kiss is the FIRST ..ss,
and the sweetest part of a kiss—
the moment just before taking.
"He playeth not the ‘cave-man,
but is slow to kiss, and restrained
in his kissing.
“He kisseth not a damsel, at the
first opportunity, neither at the
second, but keepeth her waiting, un
til the psychological moment.
“For a kiss delayed is a kiss re
membered.
“And, when he hath ONCE ki sed
a woman, she never fogeth it!
“And unto him. every kiss is a
Brand New THRILL!
"But unto the Kissing Bug, all
kisses are as ONE kiss—and that
one flat, flavorless, tame, tepid, and
tiresome!”
Selah.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Is there anything in dreams? Here
lately I dream of snakes so often I
want to know if there is any sign
in them.
My friends tell me that the snakes
represent enemies I have. I don’t
know of an enemy of mine. Please
let me know your opinion about
these dreams, as they have me wor
ried.
How is my handwriting? I never
got any further than the fourth
grade at school, but my handwriting
is considered very good.
“WORRIED.”
Often dreams are result of
indigestion, and one is apt to
dream almost any horrible thing.
Very seldom is one forewarned
in dreams. I do not take much
stock in them. When one thinks
of any patricular person, or
object, several days later they
might dream of them or it. I
think most dreams come from
poor digestion and liver trou
ble. Don’t eat heartily at night
and go straight to bed, for you
are liable to have several
dreams in one night.
Dear Miss Mary: As I have wrote
once, I thought I would try again
I have been going with a boy, aged
fourteen. I am the same age. My
mamjna died when I was twelve
years o]d. I am the oldest child and
I have had a hard time. My father
married awhile after my mother died.
I have two sisters and two brothers.
My step-mother is sure mean to us.
She treats her two children as good
again as she does us. My father don’t
know anything about it. Would you
tell him? I hate to, for it will cause
trouble. Should a girl of my age
be corseted or am I too young? Am
I old enough to have callers just as
friends? Should I wear my dresses
to my shoe-top or just below my
knees? Is there any harm in a girl
writing to a-boy first in Aunt Julia’s
letter box, I will be glad if you will
print this in The Journal. Please
answer as soon as possible. I am
about five feet tall. Am I old enough
to wear skirts and waists or wear
my dresses made together? I have
gray eyes, brown hair, medium com
plexion. What color will suit me
best? Answer through The Journal.
GREEN LEAF.
stop in and have a chat with some of you
cousins. Guess you all have forgot me by
now, as I haven’t been heard from in a
good while, so I guess I almost seem like
a stranger, but I'm not. Guess I had better
go, for I hear Mr. Wastebasket coming.
Some of you cousins write to a lonely brown
eyed girl. Your niece,

THE MIRACLE-THOUGHT
BY ROGER W. BABSON
I have heard of a girl who has made herself beautiful. She
has not' done this by the use or aid of cosmetics, beauty lotions,
or dress. She has accomplished it by always thinking sweet aand
lovely thoughts. This was hard to do at first—to affirm her own
patience when she knew so well that she was quick-tempered.
People are constantly doing this very thing; they are be
coming what they think of most. They are growing into the
physical, mental and spiritual likeness of what they held in mind.
The trouble is that most of their mental images have been so
poor.
Thought is a mighty force—for good or evil —and it will ac
complish seeming miracles. He who thinks of himself as noble
and just will become noble and just.. He who thinks of himself
as a poor, down-and-out worm of the dust will be just what he
thinks he is.
There never was anything truer than what a great writer
has said: “As a man thinketh in his hekrt, so is he.”
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
NOW FOR A PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN
The state primary being over and
settled, the people of Georgia must
face another ballot-box ‘battle on
Tuesday, November 2.
This is a year for elections, to be
sure. Everything from president to
county coroner must pass under the
wire on the national race track. It
is plainly evident that Governor Cox
has a steep pull before him. Os
course, he will get the solid south, as
usual. They fight and scratch down
here, in the primaries, but the Demo
crats usually pull together on the
final stretch.
In the November election there will
be an issue that Georgia has settled
in the primary—concerning the
League of Nations. Georgia has de
cidea not to have it in hers. How
other states will deal with it on No
vember 2 is not > nly an issue, but an
inflammable issue. In thirty-five
states the women can vote. In my
opinion (and that amounts to very
little) American motherhood will not
vote to send their own boys over
seas to fight the battles of kings, and
protect the .oot that the allies took
from Germany and Austria. If I
was a betting character, I would
ris a good deal on that one propo
sition. As 1 am not a gambler, I
pray God to help these mothers.

WHY YOU’RE BLUE
ON GLOOMY DAYS
Most persons have wondered at
times why it is that their moods
depend so much on the weather.
A crisp, frosty day makes one feel
cheerful and energetic. A damp,
dull one tends to cause depression
and listlessness.
Dull, rainy weather means a low
barometer. When the barometer is
low the reduced pressure of the at
mosphere lets the blood vessels 1 ’.r
the surface of the skin dilute or
swell, and so take up more than
their share of blood. This makes
the brain anemic and the flow of
.ideas runs slwoly.
Soldiers wearing puttees feel the
effect of dull weather much less
than other men, as the puttees leave
more blood and heart enert y avail
able for the brain. It has been no
ticed that men who have lost their
legs usually gain tremendously in
mental vigor.
The reason why your spirits are
affected as well as your brain is
that moist air is a better conductor
of electricity than dry. When the
weather is damp most of the natural
electricity of the body is drained
away into the ground.
Most city workers who have
thought about it agree that they do
their work best in windy weather.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
ABSENT TREATMENT
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer
(Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)
OUR Christian Science friends
claim to heal disease by what
they call absent treatment.
Personally, I belong to the
old school of medicine. When I am
, want a doctor to feel my pulse
while he keeps his eye on a large,
thick, gold watch with a massive
chain, and I want to be given large,
hitter pills, and have hot sticky poul
tices put on me; but the absent treat
ment ideas is a great and effective
remedy when applied spiritually and
to the sick places in our souls. I
know, for I have tried it and it
works.
The difficulty with us is that we
are too close too our troubles. We
don’t get the right perspective on
them. We see every little thing ex
aggerated, distorted, made unbearably
hideous, instead of the trivial affair
it really is.
It’s like the close-up in the movies
You know how that is. For four or
five reels we have been following
the romantic adventures of two young
creatures who have looked like voung
godlings. The man has been an
Apollo, with ambrosial curls and soul
ful eyes, and gleaming teeth, and the
grace of a saw youth who had
ljut to whistle, and any woman from
sixteen to sixty would get up and
follow him, and small blame to her,
he was that easy on the eyes.
The heroine was the realization of
every man’s dreams, lithe and slender
as a reed in the wind, with eyes like
shadowed pools of light, a complex
ion of roses and lilies, the very in
carnation of youth and beauty, and
you sighed a sigh of mingled envy
and satisfaction as the two melted
into each other’s arms.
Then came the close-up, and in the
huge, grotesque faces that were flash
ed on the camera, you saw that your
hero had pimples and a mushy mouth,
and ears that any psychologist would
tell you denoted a criminal tendency,
and that your heroine had a pug
nose and coarse skin, and showed no
more intelligence than a block of
wood.
And you went away a bit disgrunt
led, your illusions shattered by your
being too near the objects of your
admiration.
That’s what makes the absent
treatment the great cure-all for
most of the things that ail us. It’s
the sovereign remedy for divorce, for
the reason that most husbands and
wives quarrel, not because they
have ceased to love each other, but
because they are fed up on each
other. They have lost the perspective
on their romance and only get the
close-up. _ ,
If every time a wife began to feel
peeved with everything her husband
did. and to wonder what she ever
could have seen in him to make her
marry him, she would try the absent
cure on him for only a couple of
weeks, she would find that it would
save the situation and keep the gilt
on the gingerbread of matrimony.
In reality, every woman knows
this from her own experience. She
knows that when she starts forth
on her summer vacation, the man
she leaves standing on the platform
looks like a pretty poor fish to her.
She observes his every defect—that
he slouches as he walks, that he's
Mothers Should Know
JVhat Foods Are Best
For Children’s Lunches
How much time and thought do
you put on your children’s lunch
basket?
“Children have such appetites that
they will eat anything,” is a remark
often heard. ‘ They may have good
appetites now, but if school children
are allowed to eat the wrong things,
the time may come when they can’t
eat the right things.
Growing children have certain spe
cial needs in the way of food. Like
grown people, they must be supplied
with that which Is necessary for
health and strength, but, unlike them,
they should be given also that which
is necessary for development.
Even one hot dish obtainable at
school at noon makes the lunch more
appetizing, and many schools are now
providing it. When a child must
carry lunch and cannot obtain at
school a hot dish, the task of filling
the box or basket demands great care
to make sure that it is appetizing,
nourishing and sustaining.
One of the best investments to
make for a child who carries his
lunch to a school that does not serve
a hot lunch is a bottle which will
keep liquids hot or cold for some
time. Cocoa or soup pining hot on
a cold day will make a feast out of
an otherwise uninteresting lunch.
Five Greaps of Food Needed
In general, the school lunch, like
the child’s diet as a whole, should
contain representatives of the five
food groups. In it should be found
foods rich in protein, such as milk,
cheese, meats, fish, dried beans, peas,
peanuts and other nuts; cereal or
starchy foods, such as bread, cereal
mushes, rice, and tapioca; fatty
foods,' such as butter, cream, salad
oils and bacon; vegetables and fruits,
but such as cereals and dried beans
are not put under this classification;
simple sweets, including cakes and
cookies that contain little fat; cane
sugar, plain candies, maple sugar,
sweet chocolate. jellies, preserved
fruit, jams, marmalades, honey, mo
lasses, syrups and dried figs, dates
and other dried fruits.
Some Suggested Basket Lunches
Here are some recommended com
binations:
Sandwiches with sliced, tender meat
for filling; baked apple, cookies, or
a few lumps of sugar.
Slices of meat loaf or bean loaf;
bread and butter sandwiches; stewed
fruit; small frosted cake.
Crisp rolls, hollowed out and filled

getting bald-headed and bay-window
ed, and she remembers that he is
fussy about what he eats, and given
to telling the same story over again.
After she has been away a week or
two her mental picture of him be
gins to brighten. She recalls how
hard he works for her and the chil
dren, how generous and kind he is,
what a classical nose he has, and
she begins to brag about him to
the other women, and by the time
she gets back in the fall, the man
who is waiting for her at the sta
tion could take the beauty prize in
any show if she was handing out
the blue ribbon.
And the man has exactly the same
reaction toward his wife and chil
dren. He, too, had been wondering
which one of the fifty-seven differ
ent varieties of fools’ he had been
when he let himself into a life of
domestic slavery, but the absent
treatment has cured his case of
spleen, and as he takes his wife and
children into his arms, his fetters
are no longer iron, but gold.
Why, it’s absent treatment that
enables us to speak only good of the
dead. Why, you even love your in
laws after they are tucked away in
the cemetery. A woman who has
fretted her very life out of herself
because her mother-in-law was .al
ways snooping around spying into
the garbage can, and asking what
everything cost, and interfering with
the way she raised the children, will
sit up and tell you what a good,
kind, noble old woman her mother
i-la wwas, and how devoted she was
to the baby, and how helpful around
the house, once the old lady is dead.
Why not get this slant on the peo
ple who get on our nerves while they
are still living? It’s easy enough
to do. We’ve only to get away from
the)n for a while and let absent
treatment get in its great and per
fect work on the nerves that have
been fretted raw. ft’s only when we
are too close to people that we see
all of their little imperfections and
peculiarities. When we are far awav
we get the broad view that takes in
their, good qualities also.
And oh, my sisters, I urge you to
try the absent treatment on your
work, whether it be housework or
some trade or profession. There
comes a time in our life when we
loathe the thing we have to do, and
feel that we will die if we have to
make one more round of the tread
mill. We can see nothing but the
maddening monotony of our job.
There is nothing of interest or sa
vor left in it, and we could cheer
fully take a sledge-hammer and
smash our gas stove or desk, and
choke our children or employer to be
rid of them.
There is just one thing that will
save us in this crisis. Take the ab
sent treatment. Go away, and stay
away, until your home looks to you
like a paradise on earth, and your
desk calls to you with a siren voice
you cannot resist. < 1
Try the absent treatment on all
your worries. It’s the one sovereign
cure that never fails.
