'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. (Advt.) MHzPk Superb quality smartest style—a bargain that seems unbelievable simply amazing—and not a penny to send with your order. Don’t miss it.

AUNT JULIA’S LETTER BOX “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things” RULES No unsigned letters printed. 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. BELLE THOMAS. Red Springs, N. C. 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. Your new cousins, JESSIE CARLTON, CLEO PARIS. Dallas, Ga., Route 7. 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.

D- L 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.

With love to Aunt Jnlia and all the cousins, I will bld you all adieu, NETTIE FREY, Marietta, Ga., Route. 6.

Will close with a riddle. Some thing God didn't make and man never did see. With love to all the cousins and Aunt Julia. ETHEL BETGLER, Kate seigler. Waterboro. S. C., Star Route. TTello, Aunt Julia and Cousins! As this Is ■ very pleasant afternoon. I thought I wpuld 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.

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. 2,000 Women Want to Wed TONBRIDGE, England.—Councillor Donald Clark hus received nearly 2,000 replies to •he letter recently published from Califor nian who asked him to find a wife.

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. fe ason is simple. Calm weather rills the atmosphere with the poison ous carbonic acid gas that is pro auced by human breathing. A wind sweeps this away and replaces it with stimulating’ oxygen. Artificially produced oxygen is now used in some offices with the object of abolishing "that tired feel ing among the employes. Bonar Law 62 Today LONDON.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1920. 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.

A 26 INDIANAPOLIS, IND. fr, TABLETS OR LIQUID SOLD EVERYWHERE 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.
