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 doctor called my trouble ca tarrh of the ...

No letter written on both sides of paper printed. All letters not *o exceed 150 to 200 words. Dear Children: I have received three or four letters in the last mail which ask if we have definitely decided to take care of an American child next year and making the statement that they want to help if we do and will send their mite when the announcement is made. I thought everybody knew that we had definitely de cided to care for a child at Faith cottage, Berry school, Rome, Ga. We will be glad to have any help we can get, and as we have said before, try to earn your mite and give, because of a generous spirit, not because you think a dime or a nickel or a dollar will get a letter printed. It will not. I have had to throw out several good letters because the child wrote, ‘‘l will send my dime if I see this letter in print,’’ or “I am sending a dime. Please print this let ter.” The space in our column is not for sale; it Is for the pleasure and benefit of the children. Lovingly, Aunt Julia.

Auntie, I was very anxious for you to adopt an American child. I think it would be better to adopt an American child and help it to get an education, be cause charity begins at home. What do vou cousins think of it? All that are in favor of that let it be known by saying “I.” Opposed, "No.” I knew the most of the crowd would say "I.” Well, I guess I had better close before Mr. W.

Carpet Embroidery—Latest Fashion Fad / Ig JOgre! fee J •'W lip v- 1 ' Wo NEW YORK. —Now carpet embroidery is quite the thing in fashion realms—at least in Paris. These two young society women posed at one of the recent races to demon.Swate that fact. Their frocks show the latest of French fall Fashions, and the chief feature of both is the heavy carpet embroidery. On one frock it forms the lower half of the skirt, and odd-shaped trimmings on sleeves and at the opening at the neck. The other frock is one of those favorite one-piece affairs, with flare pockets at the sides. Outlining the pockets and continuing on down to the hem, are wide strips of richly colored carpet embroidery in gorgeous Oriental flowers. A wide revere collar is of the satfie embroidery. ALICE US. (Known to thousands of Southern children as'AwitJulia) In this I’istallman.t Aunt Julia tolls something of the methods used at the Berry school for making real men out of the boys who come there. Likewise, she knows that the plan has worked most succosufully. The next chapter will tell of Aunt Julia’s impressions of Faith cottage, where a tiny protege of The Tri-Weekly’s Batter Box children will find a home. The "Journey” comes to an end with a message about Faith cottage. Along the road is just a beautiful forest from which the boys have cleared the underbrush and through which they have built fine lanes and roads. Back of this is the farm and here the boys are taught to plant and gather crops, learning always the best way to do it, so when they go back to their Own farm, why, there will be so much less loss of time and money. It isn’t a case of “somebody says," it’s I know for I’ve tried It, and it’s right.” It’s a big life to be at Berry and it makes men-—five hundred or more of the graduates and ex-students from Berry school served their coun try in the world war. Eleven made the great sacrifice. And the gradua tion class of last year put a bronze tablet to these heroes in their chapel, where these boys had worshiped in the good, old-fashioned way. There’s nothing crowded about the school —it gives such a feeling of being able to breathe and grow. The buildings are good, attractive and lasting and best of all, most of them the boys built under a master carpenter. When we passed one of the largest buildings and I was told that was the dining hall, all of a sud den I thought "My goodness! How many biscuits do they have to cook a day?” You know how it is for a MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I am asking you for advice, for I feel if I should ask for advice from my parents they would refuse it. My father always did quarrel with us girls, now all of them have left home but me, and I know he doesn’t want me to go anywhere and when I do, he curses and quarrels for a time after I come back. He' always did hate to buy us anything and we always tried to work out and earn our clothes. I try to do every thing I can to please him and al ways do what I am told to do. Do you think I would be better off if I should leave home? I cannot stand this miserable life. I am only seven teen. Do you think I am old enough to leave home, and could my father bring me back home to stay? Do you know where I could get the address of the navy department and the particulars of how I can join the navy? How is my handwriting? Please print this as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance. ANXIOUS. Yours is a very sad case in deed. I know of more than one case where the father was the cause of driving his children away from home. And in his old age he will whimper and whine because his children will not sup port him. Love, begets love, and parents should have plenty of love and understanding and a fairly broad view of life, if they expect their children to love and respect them. He could make you return home, until you are of age. But suppose you go to him in a tactful manner and ask his advice about going away from home, to accept a position. Tell him how anxious you are to be self-supporting. Use your very best behavior toward him, and control yourself. He may see your viewpoint, and give you permission. There is away to •io everything. But you have my sympathy. Just be patient, and try to keep your temper, for after . all he is your father, though I must admit he ill de serves the honor. You might write a letter to the recruiting (ij.'ce at Charlesron, S. C., and ask them about the navy prop osition. Your handwriting is ex cellent. small family of hungry youngsters— and here were over 200 boys and over 100 girls-—all healthy and hun gry ! That brought me straight up against the thought of how much it must cost the school to run and how hard Miss Berry has to work to make this aream possible. She gives all she has, and begs and begs and begs, and everybody ought to want to help, for most of the students can only give about qne-third of what it costs to keep them there. • Miss Berry has been offered all sorts of money if she would take city boys into her school, but her schools are for the children who are away from the towns and cities where boys and girls can get their education with so little trouble. As we drove through those grounds, how I longed for all my boys and girls, for that is a Joy Place as well as a school, and I would like to picnic on those lovely ■slopes, only we would have had to be very careful to straighten everything up, for the boys keep the grounds so spick and span. They have tall wire baskets fastened to trees at short distances apart and a sign over them that reads, “Please help keep our grounds clean;’’ and as for de mocracy, why it lives there. Its shadow just goes other places. All the work is done by students, and all are social equals. No work is menial except work poorly done.

And while you may think your life at home hard to bear, my child, it will be a great deal harder if you had your living to make out in the world, away from the sheltering influence of your parents’ homfe. The world is cold at best, and young girls haven’t any business being thrown out on the wave broadcast. You may feel like going to seek your fortune—as they say in the fairy-tale books —but when you have gone through the years now ahead of you, and look back, it will be one lasting regret* that you weren’t wise enough to stay at home. For, after all, they are the ones 'who love you best. I would very much like to have your advice about the following: A good cure for blackheads, a good cure for crows’ feet, wrinkles and large pores. I will thank you for your ad vice very much. Please write as soon as possible. Yours very truly. FANNIE D. FANNIE D.: Your letter was misplaced. Blackheads are clogged pores, which have become enlarged. Bathe the face in warm water, with pure soap lather. Rub the lather into the pores. Rinse off with warm, clear water. Do this - several times, lastly cold -water, into which a few drops of ben zoin has been added. Just before retiring, rub reslnol salve, Pal mer’s skin success salve or any other good salve into the skin. Bathe the face in warm water in morning, .astly very cold water, do not use powder until face has healed. The main thing is to keep skin thoroughly “clean” until pores heal. Cold cream is good for crows’ feet. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1920. WLFD L O\)W. hT ' '" J** * * Chapter XXVII THE day after Ben promised to go away,” continuel Miss Hal deman, “I told Betty he had gone. He had not yet done so. but I was so fearful of the effect his absence might have on ‘my sister that I insisted on telling her before hand, so we could have him stay if it seemed best. Betty lay perfect ly still for several minutes. Then she looked up at me, a strange ex pression in her pansy eyes. "Will is in love with you, Isn’t he, Jean?” she said. "I was awfully startled. For a minute I thought she had regained her senses and had just used the wrong name. " ‘Yes, it’s Ben, honey,’ I said. ‘Yo„ remember Ben, don’t you?’ But at that she shook her head impatiently and my heart sank under a new load of dread. ' “ ‘No, it is my husband I am talk ing about,’ she said. ‘But he does not love me any more. He loves you. I know it from the way he looks at you, even when he is holding my hands.’ "Try as I would, I could not seem to reach her with another word. "That night Ben came to say good by to me and I told him what Betty had said. I knew exactly what I was doing and what effect it would have —that Ben would detect the weaken ing on my part and that I would no longer be able to control him. It was my evil hour—and I disregard ed everything—even my sister. I was frantically in love with Ben. AU that feeling that I have been choking back so long came to a head that night. I knew what would hap pen and wanted it to be so, no mat ter who else suffered. "Ben flatly refused to go, as I knew he would. ‘I shall stay right here and marry you. We will have Betty think I have gone, but I will not go until you go with me,' Tie said. His self-control had deserted him, too, and I was unable to put aside his pleadings. It grew late. I had already put little Frankie to bed and settled Betty for the night. She had seemed sleepy, or dazed, I could not tell which. I slept in Betty’s room, for I could not get a night nurse. I. had to economize where I could. •' "Well, it was past time for Ben to go and I tried to make him sav goodby, but he would not. I had awakened to the folly of my ac tions by that time, but it was too late. Ben swore that he would not leave the house until I had promised to become his wife at the earliest possible moment. “I felt I was on the verge of mak ing the promise—his lips were on mine as he urged it—and yet I knew that to do so would break that other premise which I had made to my mother on the day she died. No matter how the matter turned out, even‘if in the end it should prove for Betty’s best interests, I knew I was now on the point of thrust ing her aside for the man I loved. "And so, in utter desperation, I finally suggested my last recourse. I could never tell you why I did it. After my mother’s death I had lost all faith in God and that sort of thing. But that night I was so desperate that I was ready to beg help anywhere at ail. Ben had the broad simplicity of faith which such men seem to have, when they believe at all, and what I suggested did not appear to surprise him. So; in a stammering whisper I asked God to show us what to do and to make us strong enough to do it. "When I was about to lift my head Ben placed his hand on it and held me down gently. Then, he, too, prayed. ‘God, if it can possibly come to pass, let Jean be my wife,’ he said. ’Make her love me as I love her and let her live to hold my child in her arms—let her feel its little fingers on her neck—its lips at her breast —let her ” His voice choked, and he could not say more. Neither could I. When I finally looked up his eyes were fixed on mine, and he held out his arms. They closed around me. ‘‘That appeal seemed to have changed everything. I knew I had asked for help in good faith, and THE COUNTRY HOME CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON Care of the Peet and Com Troubles When I see a young woman on the street with the heels of her fine shoes something less than four inches high and with the weight of her body flung on her toes and the ball of her foot, I say to myself, “your corns are giving you trouble.” When grown people complain in my hearing of bunions and scalding heat around them I again say to myself, “You have allowed your pride to make you very uncomfortable be cause your shoes have been built for looks and not for comfort." Nearly every country newspaper in nearly all of its issues, has pic tures —X-ray pictures of the contor tions of the bones of the human feet and other pictures showing how a well-cared for foot should appear. If we know the difference between crooked bones and plain, natural bones we also understand that the human family has a sight of trouble with poorly cared for feet—judging by the attention that our newspapers feel obliged to offer to the reader — on crooked bones and corn troubles. How many people are you inti mately acquainted with who never complain of corns or bunions or otherwise painful feet? I have lived a long time and the only ones I can remember are children or colored folks who have gone barefooted the most of their days. There are thousands of working girls and older wage-earners who stand behind the counter all day wearing high-heeled, fashionable shoes, who are more than uncom fortable, they are in pain and so restless toward the close of the day that they are eager to get home and get into comfortable old shoes, until they finally creep into bed for the night. Many folks who look spick and span can be just as miserable as their envious neighbors can wish them to be with hard corns, soft corns, tight shoes and cramped toes. I remember a very fine Washington City lady, once upon a time, who wore the finest of furs, the costliest of hats and gloves and’ the most ele gant of foot-gear, who confided to me her Unhappiness with painful feet. Os course she must go and dance and be on dress parade, for she had the money and had come to the Capital City to splurge in first-class company* I asked her to show me her feet, and maybe I could prescribe for them, as I also had a corn on one of my little toes, that almost made me “turnt fits”—if I -walked too long on hard pavements, etc. She shucked off the beautiful shoes and stocking—before my par tor fire, and the memory of her bluish, greenish foot-stain, still re mains with me. The blood had been compressed until the root looked actually dark and discolored—and I could easily understand that pride had done her a turn—because she wanted to show up pretty little feet. Now. I am going to tell My Coun try Home family what I prescribed for her corns, at the same time in forming her that it would be wise for her to adopt bedroom slippers, until her feet were restored to their natural color. For nearly half century my corn on my little toe had been annoying at times and I learned by using it. that nitrate of silver. generally known as Lunar-caustic, could be easily and safely applied to a corn, and although it would darken the sound skin around the corn, it would take out the pain, and finally the corn itself would scale off. and stay away, until I punished myself again by hard walking. and too much standing at a time —which I had to do some times. I used a little mop made of a sliver of wood, a&d », Ju.ltl.ft ftotton that Ben had too, and my spirits lightened, for I felt that now it must all come out right in the ena. Ben did not press me any further for a promise, but we both felt that somehow we were to have each oth er. ‘Poor little Betty,’ Ben said. “I love her next to you, Jean. I will help you take care of her all my life, as tenderly as Will would wish me to.’ Chapter XVIII z z-w — PRESENTLY Ben said some- * • I— J thing else, which neither 1 of us regarded much at the time,” the nurse continued, as Nora listened intently, "but which I remembered and thought deeply about afterward. It was understood that he was to go away and wait, and he was begging me not to meke him wait too long. “ ‘I want you as soon as I can get you, Jean,’ he begged. ‘I am hungry for you! I need you so. Sometimes, when Betty in her pitiful ignorance turns all that love that belongs to my dead brother toward me 1t makes me almost desperate. I long so much to feel that she is you and take her to my heart.’ “Before he left we talked of my mother and I told him of the part she would have in my wedding out fit. I had to cry, but the tears did no tseem to burn as at other times. “When I tried to open the door of Betty’s room, I found it ocked and then I noticed that the hall smelled strongly of gas. I knew what had happened. I was able to think and act quickly. A little porch opened off from this hall and from a win dow in Betty’s room also. "I smashed the pane of glass and climbed through in less time than it takes to tell it. The room was dark. I had sense and self-control enough to throw wide the windows and wait a few frantic seconds be fore I put a match to the open gas jet. "Betty seemed to have ceased breathing, but I thought I could still feel a faint flutter at her heart. The noise I made soon brought help, but Jhere were some hideous minutes to wait after I had done all I could. Inhere was a note pinned to the pin Cushion. It read: ‘Dear’ Jean, dear lister; I want you to be happy. Anyhow, marry Will, since he loves you. But I could not stand it.’ "For the second time that night I fell down on my knees. I did not really pray—l just promised. I promised to give up Ben or anything else of my own in the world if God would just save Betty’s life. He did it. "He did more, as I have come to believe will happen, provided you are willing to do all you can yourself. Some one had communicated with Ben, and he reached z the house just as Betty was recovering conscious ness. The minute she rested her eyes on him as she came into the room I knew that something had happened to Betty. Her eyes looked clear and natural. She even smiled, ‘Why, here’s Ben, too,’ she whis pered. ‘When did you get back home, Ben?’ Then she turned away and be gan to sob. At last' she realized and Remembered everything. She had recovered her reason complete ly- "But, you see, I made my promise in good faith. God certainly kept His word. So I kept mine. It was not so terribly hard. Since I had kept my promise to my mother, also, she came back to me In away. That is, I seem to feel her near me all the time, I knew I was strong enough to give up Ben and strong enough to make him learn to do without me. I was far more suc cessful than I dared to expect. I did even better —in helping to bring him and Betty together in the after years.

I dipped the little mop in a weak solution of the nitrate of silver and water and sponged off the aching corn, two or three times a day, and then I let it alone. It has never failed me.
