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. All druggists sell Cardui, for wom en.—(Advt.) Hr'i* • I LISTEN!

KAJHFKSAJHFKJFHAFHAHLEAWAAASDF 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 lam a boy seventeen and a half . years of age and haven’t changed [ LEMON JUICE ! | FOR FRECKLES I I Girls! Make beauty lotion | j fora few cents —Try it! | Squeeze the juice of two lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white, shake well, and you have a quarter pint of the best freckle and tan lotion, and complex ion beautifier, at very, very small cost. Your grocer has the lemons and any drug store or toilet counter will supply three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Massage this sweetly fragrant lotion into the face, neck, arms and hands each day and see how freckles and blemishes dis appear and. how clear, soft and rosy-white the skin becomes. Yes’ It is harmless and never irritates. (Advt.) 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.

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.

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. But as usual all the prettiest ones are out of reach. I did want some of them but could not dare take the risk of get ting them. Do not try to imagine the beautiful scenery. Just go and see for yourself ■what God has done, and then you will know that mere words are in adequate. BERNICE BEATY. Toccoa, Ga. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Open the door and let a little Alabama girl in. I have written once before and I saw it in print and I thought I would come again. I go to school every day. I am in the sixth grade and eleven years old. I like to go to school. Aunt Julia, I am sending a dime for the baby. I will close, hoping to see this in print. Your cousin, TRESSIE CARPENTER.

If Aunt Julia prints this I will come again. If any ot you cousins want to -write to me just let your letters and cards fly. By-by. As ever, Your cosin, DOnA OWENS. Scranton, S. C., Route 2, Box 97. Dear Aunt Julia: 1 have been reading the letters that the cousins have written for a long time and have decided to write one myself. This is my first time of writing to the letter box. I will promise not to I stay long.' As it seems to be the rule, 1 | will describe myself. I have blond hair, I brown eyes and fair complexion: am 4 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 52 pounds. I have ■ one sister; she is seven years old and I am ■ nine; so you see we can have some good time playing together. We both go to school. She is in the second grade and I am in the fifth. We live on a farm of 100 acres. T remain, Your new niece and cousin. ELYSE GISSENDANNER. Sylvester, Ga.. Route 1. 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 Smart n Footwear 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. LENA LUCAS. Newport, Va., R. F. D. 2. 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.
