STRENGTHLESS
SEEMED DYING
So Weak She Could Hardly
Move, Says Indiana Lady.
One Bottle of Cardui Put
Her on the Road to
Recovery
Tangier, Ind.—“ Four years ago
this summer I was sick in bed,’’
writes Mrs. Lillie McElweee, of this
place. “I had been under the doctor’s
care for five weeks. ... I was
pretty bad, and I was just as nerv
ous as I could be. ... I could
not sleep at night until 10 or 12
o’clock. When I would doze off and
wake up I would be all of a trem
ble with nervousness.
“The dcctor called my trouble ca
tarrh of the ... It gave me such
pains that at each one it would seem
that I could not bear another one.
Then I would chill . . . the pains
would just seem to shake me all
over, and the next day I would be
so weak I could hardly move. I would
be so utterly strengthless that it
would seem as if I were dying.
"After one of my bad spells . . .
and I had almost died, I picked up
the Home Treatment Book and de
cided to try Cardui. Before I had
taken a whole bottle, I could sleep at
night. ... I don’t remember just
how long, but in a short time I was
up and helping, with the work . .
Over forty years of successful use
has proven the value of Cardui in
the treatment of many common fe
male ailments.

CHAPTEB XXXII
UNCONSCIOUS of having build
ed wisely and too well, Rosa
lie was carrying out her pro
gram with enthusiastic in
terest, not unmixed with profession
al satisfaction, at the opportunity
offered her for first-hand experi
ment in the enticing field of tele
pathic research.
To the lay person, not yet deeply
interested in the possibilities of
psychic research, it is quite custo
mary to accept the explanation
"mental telepathy’” as a satisfactory
and sufficient explanation of myste
rious mental intercourse of all
kinds.
The average thinker is not suffi
ciently intent to realize what the ad
mission of highly developed tele
pathic power connotes.
Yet even a superficial survey of
the possibilities is calculated to as
tound the most phlegmatic.
Should telepathy, that is the pow
er of the reading mind, be Capable of
the development which those who
offer mind reading as explanation of
otherwise inexplicable phenomena,
then, to the unprejudiced, there
stands admitted a situation fraught
with potentialties of unlimited scope
What defense exists against this
power—if this power of reading the
human mind like an open book be
admitted.
The skeptic who stands irrevoca
bly opposed to the medium’s com
placent claim that she is transmit
ting a message from another world
Is quite satisfied with the alterna
tive usually proposed—that she can
read the thoughts hidden within his
brain.
He refuses supernatural gifts
while willingly endowing her with
super-human power, a power so
limitless that it could —and would—
turn the whole world topsy turvy in
an instant.
The medium who could bring forth
the hidden secrets of another's brain
has the world for her football. Why
her power has not been exercised is
a fundamental question lacking an
swer. Why, through telepathy,
could not the world have known the
smis.ter plans of the war lords, defi
nitely and in detail, in time to have
prevented the world catastrophe?
How has the secrecy of any plan,
political, social, diplomatic or fi
nancial, ever ben maintained and
how, as the science of telepathy de
velops, are important secrets to be
protected in the future?
What is to prevent the gifted read
er of minds from calmly picking the
lock of the financier’s brain and
availing herself, in any way she
wishes of its money secrets?
Who is to protect the bank, the
family jewels, the humble treasurers
of the household, when hiding places
can exist no longer?
All is at the mercy of my neigh
bor, should the chance to be endowed
with the mysterious power thus
lightly yielded her.
In other words, to admit the -imit
lesg possibilities of thought inter
change is to admit a situation sc
subversive of all human order, that
in comparison a message from spirit
land might on the whole prove less
startling and less strange.
But it was not on such things as
this that Rosalie thought deeply in
the days immediately following her
discovery of Newton Findlay’s
strong personal interest in her
friend, Nora. She was satisfied
with results clearly registered in
Nora’s face when she rallied her so
cleverly about the matter.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME"
Please give me the following ad
vice. I am fourteen years of age,
and am liking a boy eighteen; he is
a nice boy, and has no bad habits, as
most boys have, and I like him better
than any other boy in our home com
munity, but my parents don’t like
him. I don’t know what they have
against him. He has never been to
my home, but he has asked me could
he take me home, when I would be
off, but I would object on my parents
account. Do I write a good hand?
Please print this in next issue.
RUBY S.
Ruby S. —Perhaps your par
ents object to your going with
boys at all, and perhaps it is
best to heed their advice. Wait
a while longer. But if the young
man is honorable and well
thought of I see no harm In al
lowing him to call at your home
occasionally and it is much bet
ter to do that, than to meet him
out. Try to listen to your
parents’ advice, though natur
ally it seems hard to you to do
just now.
T am coming to you for advice.
This is my first time writing you.
I am in love with a boy twenty
one years old and I am nineteen.
£ believe this boy loves me also,
but we haven’t been together much.
The reason of this is that some
one told untrue things about me
he says he did not say. He seems
to want to go with me but is
afraid I will not go on account of
these things that were told. I am
sure he likes me some for he
seems to be very interested when
I talk and too. I find him looking
at me very often. Please tell me
how I may win him back and ad
vise me what to do and how. Do
you think he loves me. Tell me how
I may prove to be a friend to
him. There is another girl that he
has been going with a good while,
but he finally quit. She is very
foolish about him and just what
you might call runs him down to
go with him, and he goes some
times. but when he does he looks
at me a good deal. Which do you
think he likes best? Please do not
put my name. WILLIE G.
The best way to win back
your boy friend, never alude to
the past. If he Said anything
about you, and you feel sure
that he did, and you like him
well enough to resume friend
ship with him, let him see that
you are above his smallness.
Be yourself, and meet him cheer
fully when you see him. Do not
question him. In this way you
will win out. Never tell him
anything about yourself either.
Let him see for himself wnat
you are. and I am confident he
will care more for you than for
the other girl.
Here I come for some advice. I

Chapter XXIV
IAT Rosalie did not know was
that her poisoned arrows, i-n
--| tended to keep the wound in
Nora’s heart inflamed, had
pierced clear through and had been
followed by a flow of sorrow which
had quite swept away the poison.
For Nora was completely confirm
ed. following her secret experience
with the ouija board, in her former
absolute disbelief of survival after
death.
Except as he lived in her memory
and in tlje memories of others whoo
loved him, Roger was dead and buried
—forever.
Nor did Nora, poor girl, seek to de
lude herself even as to this poor
solace. Memories fade and die as
grief yields to the abrasive influence
of time. Why not accept the truth
and face it fairly?
Roger was dead, and she’still lived
on. Some day she would be as Roger.
Meanwhile, suffering availed her
nothing. If it could be abated, so
much the better. She was weary of
suffering. The reaction had set in.
Nor would she struggle against it
any longer.
“I want to get up and go back to
work. Don’t you think it would be
all right for me to get around in a
day or two? I walked across the
room last night,” Nora asked the vis
iting nurse who came each morniqg
to help make her comfortable for the
day.
Despite her absorption in her own
affliction, the unusual personality of
this nurse, Jean Haldeman, had
aroused Nora’s admiration from the
first and the two were quite good
friends.
"It won’t be long now, at least as
far as the sprain is concerned. 1
suppose you will not be content until
you have your work to keep your
mind occupied.”
"Content?” Nora repeated the
word, which challenged her attention.
“Why, yes. I guess work will bring
content. It doesn’t seem much to
ask, does it? Most people are more
than content —they are happy.”
“And why not you, too, Mrs. Ma
son?" The nurse paused in her task
of massaging the strained muscles
rounding beneath the satin skin of
her beautiful young patient. “Anyone
who really wishes to can be. happy.”
Nora recalled —she had not been
interested at the time —something Dr.
Findlay had told her recommending
Miss Haldeman, whose sister he had
attended for some peculiar mental
ailment. He had commented, at the
time, on the great unselfishness and
fine character of the young nurse.
So Nora was tempted to speak fur
ther—eager, poor, lonely child—to
drink in answering words of comfort
—and yet—
“ Did you ever feel that happiness
meant selfishness—disloyalty?” The
question was low toned. Nora's habit
of reticence was so strong upon her
that she seemed to be speaking
against her will.
Miss Haldeman paused to look di
rect into Nora’s wistful eyes, then,
reassured by the grave and sympa
thetic inquiry she read there, the
trained nurse, in her turn, yielded to
a sudden impulse to confide.
Yes, I know all about it. I have
had that, too—that feeling. Listen—
do you really want me to tell you my
experience? It might help you, per
haps. Nora was all too plainly eager.
Jean Haldeman, laying aside the re
serve which was her accustomed
mental garment, without further ado
set about telling her story.
(To be continued.)
my voice yet. What must I do to
make it change? Also how can I
make my muscles develop?
I am five feet and a half high
and weigh 134 pounds. Do you think
I weigh enough? Please answer
through The Journal. Thanking you
for your advice. J. W. K.
What you need is plenty of
“outdoor” exerteise. Baseball,
football, walking, cutting wood,
digging or anything that will
keep you in the open. Sleep in
a well ventilated room, and eat
plenty of food, such as meat,
potatoes, cabbage, and all green
foods. If there is a gymnasium
near you should join it. I can
not give you further advice, ex
cept to see a physician about
your condition. Your weight is
too much for your height.
I am a girl of fourteen years and
will be fifteen in November. How
long should I wear my dresses, as I
am 5 feet 4 inches high and very
slender. How should I ■wear my
hair; it is very long, and I do not
want to cut it. I am very anxious
to wear a coat suit. Am I too
young? W T ould it be all right to go
to thj movies with a girl of my age
and her twenty-year-old brother and
come just a little way about 11
o’clock at night? He just talks to me
as a friend. He comes o.ver to my
house sometimes and plays cards.
Is there any harm in that?
Thanking you for your advice.
Please answer in next week’s Jour
nal. VIOLET EYES.
If you are slender you should
wear your dresses made to make
you appear stouter. Try to
, avoid the very straight line as
much as possible. Do not wear
very plainly fashioned frocks.
The styles this season are the
straight line, it’s true, but one
doesn’t have to follow lashion’s
decree to the letter. If you have
nice hair do nothing to it to
ruin it. Wear it softly waved
about the face. I wouldn’t ad
vise you to get a coat suit. They
need other things to match ex
actly to make one appear well
dressed. Besides, coat suits
aren’t worn as much now as sev
eral seasons ago. A coat would
be more practical and you <an
have one very nice dress to
wear with it; and use your other
dresses for ordinary wear.
I see no harm in your going
to the movies with the young
man and his sister, or having
him at your home occasionally
to play cards. There is no harm
in card playing unless one wants
to gamble. Cards aren’t any.
more harmful than any other
game.
Will you please give your best
advice as to what I can do to have
a good complexion. I have had
pimples ever since I was about 13
years old. They are worse at times
than others. Through carelessness
in washing has caused them to leave
scars. Will you please tell me how
to get rid of them and what to do
for the scars, as it causes a very bad
complexion. Tell me how to make
the eyebrows black and thick.
Please answer this through the next
Journal, as I have written before,
but haven't seen it in print.
BLUE EYES.
Good care is needed to help the
skin retain, or regain, its health.
Therefore, you should avoid
greasy foods as much as pos
sible. Bathe the face in luke
warm water and a good pure
soap, then rinse with hot water
as can be borne, lastly cold
water to close the pores. Use a
pure cold cream on the face at
night before retiring, rub well
into the pores, then use a clean
soft cloth and remove it. Use
a good ointment. Palmer’s Skin
Success ointment is very good.
Chic Waistcoats
For Autumn Suits
The new autumn waistcoats are
exceedingly chic, and it is said, will
be very popular. The latest word is
to have them of buff suede, with ap
plications of green and yellow leath
er and a green binding as a finish.

(In the next chapter of “A Jour
ney with Aunt Julia” you will be
given a glimpse into how Miss
Martha Berry happened to found her
wonderful Georgia institution. It
sounds almost like a fairy tale. Aunt
Julia tells it in her own way and it
makes mighty interesting reading.)
I’d gotten a city-bred idea that log
houses were good places for draughts
to blow through, and had to be lit
tle and cramped. These were not.
The boys had built them and they
are so pretty, all weather-tight, v
sealed inside, and with large porches.
In the rooms there are dainty cur
tains, such comfortable “homey”
chairs and just a few good pictures
on the walls.
In Rome cottage the girls study
and practice home making and
housekeeping. Yoti just go from room
to room thinking the last is the
best. The girls don’t have any new
“fandangled” things to use, just
the everyday things that can be had
anywhere. Miss Berry says if they
learn to use these it will be easy
to use the newer things as they
oome along.
There’s a kitchen cabinet in the
kitchen, and all the pans and pots
and muffin tins and bowls so dear
to a woman’s heart. One of the
girls was in the kitchen —she was
making biscuits, and I didn’t like
to be too curious, but I peeked
around and there was a pan of
delicious stuffed peppers. My! but
they smelled good.
Time was flying and I wanted so
to turn my watch back, there was
so much to see.

can tell which is juicy. After a

It is more economical to add the
sugar to puddings such as corn

When you are making creamed to

prevent curdling.
The nutritive value of spinach,
Swiss chard and other greens is so

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: In the name of our Society for Kindness to All
Dumb Things, I am writing at the beginning of the hunting season
to beg you not to kill things just for sport. Even the Indians, that
we call savages, killed only for food and self-defense. Surely we
can do no less. I am not so squeamish that I think people should
never eat meat, although I come very near being a vegetarian when
I think of killing, but I do think it is a most brutal habit to go out
and kill for sport, and you know many boys and men and, I am
sorry to say, girls and women do it.
Think how much bigger you are than most of the wild things
we have in our country; think of the wilful taking of life when a
thing is cornered and helpless, and I believe you will feel that you
are a better sport if you give these things a chance to live. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I do not I
want to worry you all by coming too
often but as I have had the pleasure of |
spending a part of the day at Toccoa
Falls I thought that perhaps someone
would like to hear from me. The scenery
all around there is perfectly beautiful. The
institute is located on a beautiful little
hill just off the road a little ways. I
did not get to go inside as there was no
one there. We went on top, which is
186 feet high. The path down was very
rough and steep. There are many places
along the way that if you should go a
step too far you would fall several feet
before you found a place to land. You
cannot imagine how beautiful the moun
tain sides are with the different shades
of green, the spruce and pine and differ
ent kinds of shrubs and a delicate kind
of vine that trails over the rocks and
steeep banks and some of the most beauti
ful beds of ferns of different varieties.

out of reach. I did want some of them
but could not dare take the risk of get

yourself ■what God has done, and then
you will know that mere words are in
adequate.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Didn’t you
say I may come in a few minutes?
After all my vacation fairly all is over,
for now I start to school.
We think it fine to have a brief story
of our Aunt Julia, don’t we? Some time

of naming their nearby towns and how
their name originated. Now, I second the
motion. Starting thus: Ocilla was named
for Chief Osceola, of the Seminoles.
Write me cousins, don’t post[>one it.

grand work, too. I’m in favor of helping
some poor American kid as the French
kid doesn’t need our help at the present
time. Some of you cousins that have the
words of “The Man Behind the Plow”
please send them to me and I will re
turn the favor sometime. Come on you
northern and western kids with your in
teresting letters of your beautiful countries.
Auntie, here is my bit for the kid before
I go. Love and best wishes to all.

Hello, Aunt Julia and cousins’ I am a
reader of The Tri-Weekly Journal and like
it best of all my magazines and papers.
I love to read the letters of the letter box.
What do yon cousins do for pastime? I go
to school and study in the fiftli grade. My
teacher’s name is Mrs. Florence Stansill.
My school is near the public road.
As it is the rule I will describe myself:
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. I ELTON
What About Cotton?
On all fair days when the sun
shines I feel better to take a stroll,
perhaps to visit our food shops, and
combine recreation with a little busi
ness stunt, such as providing my
“daily bread,” etc.
This forenoon I walked near a
group of cotton buyers and as usual
at this time of the year, inquired the
price of cotton.
“Twenty-two and a half cents,”
was the answer.
A little less than a year ago cot
ton sold in our town for nearly or
quite, twice as much. One irate farm
er today said to me, “I shall take
my cotton home. No such price for
me.” Another one with a bill of
sale in his hand, remarked, “I am
going to sell as it comes to me. It
may be worse than now.” And so
it may be. From all reports coming
from the rural districts we hear
that there is about a half crop. There
fore cotton should not slump to half
the price. I do not understand the
slump.
It will work a great hardship on
many farmers that I know personally.
They have paid extraordinarily high
prices for labor, ditto for mules,
ditto for fertilizers, etc.
The cotton producer who owns his
own force (I mean his children) can
perhaps go along by a straight and
narrow way until this dark place has
been passed through, or tided over,
but no such good luck awaits the
cotton producer who bought the high
est priced of everything to eat, or
in implements, or paid $3 per day
to chop cotton, or $1 a 100 to pick
it out, especially if he decided to
invest in an auto car and did a good
deal of joy-riding and expected to
pay a good part of the price with
forty-cent cotton.
Representatives of farmers’ organi
zations have rushed to Washington
to stay the slump, and to get suf
ficient credit to save us from a
panic. Perhaps the government can
do something to avoid a serious
break-down. The Associated Press
will give us the result later. It is
a crisis for a good many things!
No matter what is reported, it is
plainly evident that we in America
should share in generous attention
from those who are handling the
business here in America.
My sympathies are with the strug
gling powers. They have been faith
ful to their obligations and the au
thorities should stand by them, Willy-
Nilly to the end.
What Paris Finds

The smartest footwear from Paris
features at least six straps. The
new walking shoes are goloche-like
in shape and made of fine kid, fit
ting smoothly and high over the In
step. The heels are moderately high,
but the extremely high heels are sel
dom seen.
I have brown hair, dark gray eyes, 4 feet
5 inches tall. I am twelve years old.
I will close by asking a riddle: What
has an eye but cannot see?
If any of you cousins wish to correspond
with a girl of twelve years, let your letters
fly to a new cousin.

Dear Auntie: I have just returned from a
long ramble through the garden and fields,
and while I sit here to rest under the shade
of the old apple tree my thoughts dwell with
pleasure on each member of the Letter Box,
1 hope you all are enjoying this lovely Sep
tember day. Dallie Caves, I truly sympa
thize with you. Let us move our couch near
the window, where we can breathe the fresh
breath of summer and catch the sounds of
the merry birds. As I look out on the
grassy slopes, flooded with bright sunshine
and the blue sky above, where not a cloud is
to be seen, I think what a change has come
over the land, when only a few days ago
the sky was dark and clouded and the rain
fell in torrents. How true nature compares
with our own lives, as we struggle on
through storms and calms'. Although our
sky grows very dark sometimes, we should
look to Him who is “A very present help in
time of trouble.” Then, as we look upon
our last sunset, shining with crimson and
gold, we can say in peace, “Thy will be
done.” If any of you cousins care to corre
spond with a little fourteen-year-old girl,
let your letters fly. Love to all.
