DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
How Much Does the Daughter of a
Selfish Father Owe Her Parent?
Adopting a Baby—The Girl
Who Continually Quarrels
With Her Fiance
DEAR DOROTHY DIX—I am a
girl of 24, the daughter of a
poor farmer. My mother is
dead and I do all the housework—
the cooking and washing, and iron
' ing, and cleaning, and sewing and
mending, for a family of four. But
no matter how
hard I work I ,
< v can never ao ,
enough to satis- /
fy my father,
who abuses me Sj
continually andH
tells me 1 am no||
account. Two of ■
my sisters and®
my brother have]
already gone to ]
the city, where ■
they have good B
jobs, and 1 am ■
thinking of go- ]
ing also, as any- «
body else would
be willing to pay me well for the
work I do for nothing at home, and
strangers would treat me politely. I
wouldn’t mind -working for nothing
• for my father if only he was not
sq abusive, and didn’t always find
fault with me, and keep telling me
that I am no account. Do you
■ think I will do wrong to leave him
and go to the city?
COUNTRY GIRL.
*** Answer
I see no reason why you should
spend your life toiling for a father
who does not even pay you in the
cheap coin of gratitude. Because
you happen to be his daughter
doesn’t make you his slave, and if
he makes your life hard and miser
able to you, you are quite within
your rights to strike out for your
self and win your own share of ease
and happiness.
There js no merit in suffering an
unnecessary martyrdom. Far too
many wives and daughters permit
brutal men to kick them about and
insult them, under the belief that it
is their duty to stick to their hus
bands and fathers,' no matter what
they do. .
v No woman has a duty to any man
■ who mistreats her. He absolves her
from that at the very first word of
abuse, and if more women had the
courage to leave tyrannical men it
would work a reformation in the
manners of husbands and fathers.
How great a debt children owe to
their parents depends altogether on
how the parents have treated the
children. Bringing a child into the
world and nourishing it while it is
young, helpless is purely animal func
tion. The cow does as much for its
• calf; the dog for its puppies.
After that, if the parents give the
child love, and tenderness, and sym
pathy, and understanding, and ap
preciation, and do all in their pow
er to make it happy, and to give It
its place in the sun, the child owes
a debt that it can never repay. But
if the parents are hard, and cold,
and unsympathetic, and fault-find
ing, if they do nothing to help the
child or make it happy, then the
child has no duty to the parents.
For to be born of such parents is
a curse and not a blessing.
Therefore, I think the children of
gelfish parents are justified in liv-
T ing their own lives, regardless of
the fathers and mothers who have
never cherished them.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss Dix—l am a childless
woman, and I am thinking of
adopting a baby. What do you
think of it? Is it a safe thing to
LONELY WOMAN.
Answer
I thihk that in adopting a child
you will do an act by which you
will acquire merit hereafter and
bring yourself great happiness in
this world.
Surely there can be no nobler,
gweeter, more womanly thing for a
woman to do than to take some
forlorn, helpless little creature and
give it the warm atmosphere of a
real home and the haven of a
mother's breast.
When you adopt a child you
bring love to the loveless, tender
ness to the neglected, understanding
to the shy and dumb. You set a
human soul free and give it its op
portunity. And there’s no greater
service one may render than that.
As to the risk one runs when one
adopts a child, that’s one of the
chances of life. Raising a child is
no cut-and-dried proposition even
with one’s own children. Not every
son and daughter turns out a credit
to their fond parents, and probably
quite as many adopted children grow
•up into model citizens as their own
children do. Indeed, I expect the
percentage is greater, for the adopt
' ed child is apt to be better reared
r and less spirited than their own
child.
Os course, one would like to know
something of the heredity of the child
one adopts and be sure that it came
of decent, honest people, but one may
even put the soft pedal on that. Not
many poor children have an unblem
ished pedigree, and we all have rela
. fives that we would hate to think
* our children took after—our hus
bands’ mothers, or our wives’ fathers,
or great Uncle Silas, you know.
K Makes a Family Supply K
E of Cough Remedy E
[= Really better than rimdy-mnde E
nJ cough -yrups, and saves about $2. rd
In Easily and quickly prepared.
If you combined the curative prop
erties of every known “ready-made”
cough remedy, you probably could
not get as much real curative power
as there is in this simple home-made
caugh syrup, which is easily prepared
in a few minutes.
Get from any druggist 2y 3 ounce*
of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
i and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain granulated sugar syrup,
* clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, as desired. The result is a
full pint of really better cough syrup
than you could buy ready-made for
three times the money. Taste* pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of a cough and
gives almost immediate relief. Ito
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri
tated membranes so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing.
A use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
croup, hoarseness and bronchial asth
ma. there is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concen
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and has been used for
generations to break severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex”
. with full directions, and don’t accept
X anything else. Guaranteed to give
■ absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,
Ft. Wayne, Ind.
Besides, environment is so much
more powerful than blood that you
can come pretty close to making any
child what you will if you get it
young enough, and take the trouble
to train it in the way it should go.
And there’s probably no other in
vestment in the world that pays such
dividends in happiness as does the
money and work we put in on a
child. It gives a new pep and inter
est to life. It brings joy and sun
shine into a home. It renews our
own youth.
It is. the curse of age that we grow
tired of ourselves and lose interest in
ourselves. Our lives are lived. Our
fortunes told. All that we are going,
to do we have done. So, when we are
old, we must take our pleasures ahd
indulge in our ambitions vicariously.
And we can only do this through our
children. Happy those to whom God
sends children of their own. Wise
those who adopt orphan children
when they have none of their own,
so that their age is not left lonely
nor their houses desolate.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Dorothy Dix —I am engaged
to a young man with whom I am
very much in love, and I know he
loves me, but we quarrel continually
and about the most trivial things.
Neither c’ us is especially high-tem
pered. We get along amiably with
other people, but we seem to antago
nize each other at every turn. What
sort of a home will we make if we
marry? I cannot bear to think of a
life of continual strife-—of misunder
standings and reproaches and apolo
gies and making up
Answer:
I should certainly advise you,
Suzanne, to think long and earnest
ly before you marry a man who is
temperamently antagonistic to you.
You know there are people who
just rub us the wrong way, just as
there are other people whose pres
ence is soothing and agreeable to us.
Why this is, we do not know. It
simply is one of the facts of nature
that there are men and women whose
every act irritates us, no matter how
blameless they are, and whom we
instinctively oppose no matter which
side of a question they take.
Strangely enough, this natural an
tagonism often exists side by side
with love. You see it often between
mothers and daughters, and sisters
and brothers who fight like the Kil
kenny cats, yet will make any sacri
fice for each other.
But it does not make for happiness
and a peaceful home, and the only
sensible thing for such people is not
to try to live together.
Still more important is it for such
oil-and-water nature not to try to
blend by matrimony. They are nevsr
really mated though they may be
married for fifty years. Nature,
which cares only for the good of the
race, ard not at all for the individual,
has ordained the law of the attrac
tion of opposites, but we yield to it
at our peril, for those whom we love
long and whose society never palls
upon us are those with whom we are
congenial—those who think and feel
as we do, and have the same tastes
and habits.
This is particularly true as regards
husbands and wives. No husband
and wife ..re happy who are always
scrapping, nor is the family circle
that is a place of perpetual argu
ments and bickering any one’s ideal
of a home.
Therefore, Suzanne, as you value
your happiness don’t marry the man
who is always getting on your nerves
and rousing your fighting blood. Pick
out some youth who is tuned up in
your own key.

THE LIBERAL VISION
And a voice came unto him
again the second time, What
God hath cleansed make not
thou common.—Acts 10:15.
This was the dream of St.
Peter, hungry on the housetop
in Joppa: a great sheet let down
from heaven, full of all manner
of flesh, fish and fowl, and the
divine command, “Rise Peter;
kill and eat.*
It was a sign of the falling of
that wall which had divided thp
Jews from the Gentiles mainly
on the ground of the kind of
food they ate.
Peter objected because he was
conservative.
But the inward voice told him
that conservatism of that type
was opposition to the Divine
Will.
“God fulfils himself in many
ways.
Lest one good custom should
corrupt the world.”
Peter’s dream is a moving pic
ture illustration of the word of
Christ:
“Go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel to the whole
creation.”
This dream is a proclamation
of liberty from those faddish
rules like vegetarianism which
judge a man by what enters in
to his mouth rather than by
what proceedeth out of his
heart.
To this day, they profess to
show in Joppa the very house
top where St. Peter had his
dream;
But other men have had it,
in other places—the liberal vi
sion.

Dear Children: The John Han
cock Life Insurance company has
gotten out a little booklet, “The
American Life and Customs,’’ by
Mabel Mason Carlton. I have been
so fortunate as to come into pos
session of one of these booklets and
so am going to pass this delightful
history on to you. We will take one
issue weekly for some part of it.
Today I am going to give you what
she says of the Indian Time:
“Indians told the time of day by
the sun; counted the days by sleep,
calculated the months by moom
(making thirteen), and scored the
years by winters. The new year be
gan in March. Different tribes had
different names for the months. The
Natchez names were:
“Deer Moon—March.
“Strawberry Moon —April.
“Little Corn Moon —May.
“Watermelon Moon —June.
“Peach Moon —July.
“Mulberry Moon —August.
“Great Corn Moon —September.
“Turkey Moon—October.
“Bison Moon —November.
“Bear Moon —December.
“Cold Meal Moen —January.
“Chestnut Moon —February.
“Nut moon (nuts broken to make
break at the close of winter, when
supplies ran low).”
We will take up their history
again next week.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please let
me join your pleasant chat. So many of
the cousins say they go to Sunday school,
but so few of them tell us what they
learn there. I hold that the proper study
of the Bible broadens our knowledge in
both spiritual and worldly affairs as noth
ing else does or can. It is written '‘Evil
men understand not judgment, but they
that seek the Lord shall understand ail
things.” Do you know, cousins, that the
Bible expresses the loveliest poetical senti
ments of any book? And that the Bible
contains the sweetest romances and love
stories ever ■written into the literature of
the world? Do you know that it has pas
sages to guide you and council you ;n
any problem in your daily life that may
worry you or perplex you? I am glad Aunt
Julia has a motto that expresses kind
ness, but, then, why say “all dumb
things,” rather let us be kind to all de
serving things, especially to one another.
If we study the teachings so Jesus and
try to follow them, then kindness would
become natural with us. I would like to
correspond with the routing on the Bible.
Sincerely, U J. MIXSON.

to ask your forgiveness for a very
short column. The personal letters
have been accumulating, and so 1

time if I give them the greater
amount of attention. Next week
you shall have it.
Cordially yours,

Bill: Dear Girl, I am sorry you are
so unhappy. As for advice, you ask
a hard question. You know there
are always two sides to every ques
tion. I want you to try going to
your parents, not in a mood of dis
content, but quietly and ask them to
talk the matter over with you. Don’t
lose your temper. Ask them if you
cannot work things out so you will
all be happier; ask them to listen to
your side, and then quietly listen to
theirs. The only solution is in un
derstanding. Running away won’t
help.
Grit: Certainly, It Is perfectly cor
rect for a boy to take supper at the
home of a girl friend; that is, if the
girl and her pa'rents ask him. Avoid
ing jealousy is strictly in your own
mind. I do not believe there is any
advice that would help you in that.
Generally 10 o’clock is a suitable
hour to leave. Os course if you are
in the country where early rising is
necessary, 9:30 is better. A book,
cansy or flowers are most suitable
as a gift unless an engagement ex
ists between young people.

you best to send your suit and shoes

BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Handling a Bunch of Sick Calves
J. N. K., Adrian, Ga., writes;
I have a disease among my
calves. They begin to get thin
in flesh and a lump will come
under tbeir throat. I have lost
four and have others affected-
They have a high fever and get
so weak they cannot stand before
they die. I will be obliged for a
remedy for this trouble.
It is difficult to interpret the symp
toms outlined in your letter
without an opportunity to examine
the animals at first-hand. It is al
ways quite possible that a diagnosis
made on such a long-distance basis
may be entirely erroneous. If you
have interpreted the symptoms cor
rectly, however, it seems most like
ly that your calves are affected by
what is known as "black-leg.” This
is a disease in which external evi
dences of swelling are present. On
handling, these swellings omit a
crackling sound. This is due to the
formation of gas in the swellings as
a result of the bacterial infestation
which has taken place. This disease
attacks suckling calves, though cat
tle of two years of age may become
affected. It does not appear to at
tack human beings. It is a disease
more or less restricted in its out
break, but when once established,
it is likely to recur. The cause of
the disease is due to the developmc it
of a bacillus resembling that which
produces anthrax, but differing from
it in size. It finds its way into the
system through a scratch or wound.
Swellings may occur m various parts
of the body, such as th e neck, the
shoulder, the breast or flank. It
may also occur in the throat, though
this is rather rare. The peculiar
crackling sound which the swellings
omit should enable you to determinu
whether the trouble is due to “black
leg” or not. In that event, the only
satisfactory procedure to follow is
the use of the immunizing vaccine.
The government used to distribute
this material free of cost through
the bureau of animal industry, but
I think they have ceased to make it
any more. You should be able to
secure a supply of what you need
from any reputable house manufac
turing bacteriological supplies for
the prevention of animal diseases.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
let a girl from Summit, Ga., join you all
for a few minutes’ chat? I want to tell
you all that I certainly do enjoy reading
the letters you cousins write. The lady I
work for gets The Tri-Weekly Journal and
other papers, but I like The Journal best of
all. I read every letter you cousins write.
Well, l guess you cousins want to know
what I look like. I have dark brown hair
and eyes, also my complexion is not very
fair; age between eighteen and thirty
years. Now guess my age. If you guess
right I will tell you. I am not ashamed of
being past sixteen. I have been called an
old maid, but I am not. I have been work
ing in Summit. Ga., for eight yearj for a
lady who has a millinery store. Yes, I
wake hats and sell them. too. Ail of you
come to Summit and let me make some fall
and winter hats for you. I know It would
take me six months to make you all one
apiece, but I will undertake the job if vou
say so. I hope Aunt Julia will print th.a
letter for three reasons: first, because I
have never written Aunt Julia and the
cousins before, and if I don’t see this in
print I would be afraid to come again;
second, I have never seen a letter to you
cousins from Summit, and I want you all to
know that there is such a little town on the
map of Georgia: third, I want a whole lot
of you cousins to write me. I will answer
everyone who writes me, if it is a million.
If any of you cousins want to know what I
do really look like I will send a postal photo
of myself. I thank you all for your kind
attention. I am going back right now to
making hats. Your new cousin,

pleading for an entrance.
We live among the red old hills of Geor
gia, and it is our inexpressible delight to
romp, ride and play over them. How many
of you cousins play golf? We have an ex
cellent ground for this popular sport, and it
is ever being used. We certainly are glad
that the days are past and gone when girls
are teased for being “tomboys”—in fact,
they are upheld, for our high school has au
ideal playground, and it takes no urging for
us to make good use of it. After meditat
ing laboriously for hours over Cicero and
geometry, we play basketball, baseball, ten
nis and other lively games. Our mothers do
not let us associate much with boys (they
are very stt-ict). but we certainly would bs
glad to hear from some of the gallant boys
and pretty girls of the dear band. We are

Cover Crops for the Pecan Orchard
J. A. M., Atlanta, Ga., writes:
I have about forty acres in eight
year-old pecans, and am going to
plant about sixty acres more in
November. I am contemplating
some kind of a winter cover
crop. Rye and vetch mixed, but
clover, yellow annual melilotus
and black medic have been sug
gested to me. Which would you
recommend? Next spring I ex
pect to turn under the land and
put in some kind of summer cov
er crop, such as soy beans. What
variety would you suggest? Do
these crops need inoculation?
In your situation, we would ad
vise that you plant rye and vetch
as a winter cover crop. It is difficult
to obtain a stand of bur clover, es
pecially in a dry fall. This is also
true of yellow annual melilotus and
black medic. Rye, as you doubtless
know, is th e hardiest of the cereals
and will generally give a good ac
count of itself even under unfavor
able conditions. Vetch is the hardi
est of our winter legumes, and the
easiest to grow, if given a chance.
Our plan is to use three pecks to a
bushel of rye and we prefer the
Georgia or the Virginia varieties. Use
twenty pounds of vetch. The hairy
vetch is the variety best suited for
planting in your section of Georgia.
Seeding may be done any time after
the 15th of October. Much larger
yields of grain and hay have been
obtained by us from the early plant
ing of these crops. This is an Im
portant point to bear in mind, as
many people defer seeding until De
cember and still hope to obtain an
abundant harvest. They are mis
taken in this conclusion. I
It will not be necessary to inocu
late vetch, and, of course, rye can
not be inoculated satisfactorily as it
is not a legume. The foregoing mix
ture is excellent for turning unde?
for the enrichment of the soil. Soj
beans will make an excellent crop
for the purpose you have in mind.
We recommend th<? Southern Prolif
ic, the O-too-tan, or the Laredo as
being the best varieties for cultiva
tion in Georgia.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Spotty the Turtle Finds a
Tempting Bit
Temptation wears a harmless guise,
And often thus deceives the eyes.
—Old Mother Nature.
Spotty the Turtle was prowling
around at the bottom of the Smiling
Pool. That is where he gets most of
his food. He was hungry this morn
ing, and somehow he had had no
luck at all. Every pollyw>g he had
tried to catch had been too nimble
for him. He had succeeded in nip
ping off the tail of one and .that
was all. This had just made him
hungrier than ever.
To be sure there were water
plants which he could eat, but he
wasn’t feeling like water plants.
“I’ll fill up on them if I have to,”
said he to himself, “but I don’t
intend to unless I have to. It is
queer where all the insects have
gone to. Usually there are plenty of
little fish, but for some reason or
other they are all hiding. Ha! So
that’s it!”
Spotty had discovered a big ugly
looking head thrust up from the
mud at the bottom of the Smiling
Pool. He knew it at once for the
head of his big cousin, Snapper the
Snapping Turtle, and he knew now
why those little fishes were hiding,
and why the tadpoles were keeping
buried in the mud, and why he had
had no luck in finding insects such
as live in the water. It was all be
cause of that ugly looking, big
cousin of his. \
Spotty swam away to another
part of the Smiling Pool. He
popped his head out of water for
fresh air and for a look around. He
was just in time to see Farmer
Brown’s Boy come to the bank of
the Smiling Pool. Unlike Peter Rab
bit and so many other of these lit
tle people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows. Spotty was not
acquainted with Farmer Brown’s
Boy. Os course he had seen him
many times at the Smiling Pool,
but he never had really made his
acquaintance. So Spotty was dis
trustful. He dived at once, and
went clear to the bottom. Down
there he couldn’t see Farmer
Brown’s Boy, and knew that Farm
er Brown’s Boy couldn’t see him.
So he no longer gave Farmer
Brown’s Boy so much as a thought.
He continued to hunt for something
to eat.
It was not long after this that
Spotty heard a little splash in the
water up above him. At once he
turned to see what it meant. Some-

times a splash like that meant that
food had fallen in the water. Almost
at once he saw something coming ;
down through the water that made
his eyes grow bright with eager- !
ness. It was an earth worm. Yes,
sir, it was an earth worm, and it
was wriggling in the most enticing
way. Spotty likes earth worms.
Sometimes after a heavy rain many
of them are washed into the Laugh
ing Brook and come down into the
Smiling Pool. Then Spotty joins
with the fish there in having a
feast.
“The very thing!” exclaimed Spot
ty. "I don’t know where that worm
came from, but it doesn’t matter. I
know where it is going! Yes, sir, I
know where it i~ going! It is going
where it will do some one the most
good, and that some one is me.” He
swam rapidly toward that wriggling
worm, and the nearer he got to it
the more tempting it looked.

Could Bite and Fight.”
