OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS
Answers to Inquiries
Dear Mrs. Thomas,
I am in a lot of trouble with my
chickens, so I am writing to you to
see if you can help me. I am losing
a lot of my last year’s pullets, some
go perfectly blind, their eyes nor
heads do not get sore at all. They
seem hearty, want to eat all the
time, but blind they go. Others lose
the use of their legs, they can’t
stand up at all but they want to
eat just the same as the others.
I am distressed over the condition
of my flock, I have been successful

think of for these, they have stopped

corn, oats, jf.nd mashes. I have

get steadily worse.
I read all that you write and if
there is anything that you can sug
gest it will be highly appreciated.
Wishing you a most successful
year, I am,
Yours sincerely,
MRS. M.
I answered this letter imrnediatley
and told her what I thought about
her chickens, and what I would try
if they were mine, then I sent the
letter to two poultry specialists, to
see if they had any better remedy

may cut it out and put it in that
try envelope that I suggested
your keeping. If you put these rem
edies atyay you will not have to
wait till you hear from me. I am
always pleased to be a help, but you
lose valuable time.
But here is what a specialist says
about the troubled lady’s letter.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Danny and Nanny Discover a
Relative
Go where you will the whole
world in,
You can’t escape your kith and
kin.
—Old Mother Nature.
The new home under a stump on
the edge of the garden really did
seem like a very safe place, and
Nanny Meadow Mnug,i began to feel
better right away. Nanny is a great
home lover and was anxious to gjet
this new home completed at once.
So presently they started out to look
for something to make their bed of.
There wag plenty of good material.
They found all the dry grass they
wanted. It wasn’t as soft as the
grass they had been used to, but it
did very well. Then Danny discov
ered some white, soft stuff in a field
which joined that garden. It was
cotton, though of course Danny
didn’t know this.
But he did know that this would
make the loveliest kind of bed, and
he carried as much of it back to the
new home as he could. Nanny was
just as tickled with it as Danny had
been and she went with him to get
more. It was quite a journey for
two such small folks, but they felt
that it was worth it. So at last the
new home was completed and Danny I
and Nanny felt quite settled.
With the new home finished, there
was no work to be done and nothing
in particular to do but to hunt for
food and to get acquainted with their
new surroundings. As Is their way,
they cut little private paths for them
selves in many directions, and soon
they felt quite as much' at home as
if they had always lived’ln the Sunny
South.
For awhile they thought they had
no neighbors. Then one moonlight
night they ventured over to the field
where they had found the cotton.
That field was all grown up to weeds.
Presently Danny discovered a little
path through.-these weeds. It was
very like the little paths that he and
Nanny cut' in the grass, only it was
somewhat bigger.
‘‘Somebody lives around here,”
Whispered Danny to Nanny. “Who
do you suppose it can be?”
“Don’t ask me," replied Nanny. “I
think we’d better get away from
here. Whoever made this path may
not like to have us using it.”
But Danny wouldn’t listen. His
curiosity was too much for him. He
lighted on going on. Nanny was
’ *#iWd to be left behind, so she fol
lowed.
Pretty soon th* path branched.
Danny stopped. He was trying to de-,
cide whether to keep on or try this
branch. Before he could make up
his mind they heard approaching
footsteps. Danny and Nanny crawled
into the grass at the side of the little
path and waited. Presently down the
little branch path came running a
atfanger. At the point where two
paths joined he stopped for a mo-

the birds have lost the use of their
legs, the probability is a heavy in
festation of intestinal worms is
causing the trouble. Worms in a
small degree infest all fowls, but
Under some conditions they multiply
rapidly and cause a great deal of
harm, due to robbing the birds of
nourishment, and in the poison giv
en off by the parasites, as well as
irritation of the tissues.
“In ridding a flock of worms, it
is necessary to pay close attention
to sanitation. The house and runs
should be thoroughly sprayed with
a strong germicide, to kill the eggs
that may be in the droppings; the
litter should be removed en
tirely out of their range, and clean
litter used. Another thing that
makes me think they have a heavy
infestation of worms is their vora
cious appetite.
“Conkeys has a good remedj' for
worms, but these may be tape
worms, and they require stronger
medicine. Go to any drugstore and
get Oil of Chenopodium, or Oil of
Turpentine, and use one drachm to
twelve grown fowls, mix this in a
wet mash and give it to them, after
the birds have nothing to eat for
twenty-four hours."

Beats Aides to Work
As He Punches Clock
WEST ORANGE, N. J., Feb. 11.—
Thomas A. Edison smarted out on his
7§th year today with his customary
birthday kick in the air to prove his
inexhaustible youth, plenty of hard
work, and the usual quiet meetings
with friends.
Celebrating his 78th birthday by
arriving at his office before any of
his employes and punching the time
clock as usual, the electrical wizard
finally was persuaded to give his
views after another year of maturity
on current subjects of interest. In
response to questions, he said:
“Man has not yet reached, but is
rapidly aaproaching, physical per
fection.
“When coal and crude petroleum
resources are exhausted, power will
be extracted from the sun, the wind,
the tides and vegetable growth.
“The American college is good be
cause it forces a young man to do
work he doesn’t want to do.
"The modern young girl who goes
to extremes in matters of dress and
habits is 'all right but a little bit
foolish.’
“The controversy between funda
mentalists and modernists in religion
is the result of an attempt to make
facts out of myths.
“Death for criminals by lethal gas
is more humane than by electrocu
tion.
“Radio is the greatest recent in
vention. but it will never supplant
the newspaper as a means of dis
seminating information.
“As for the field of potential presi
dents. I am inclined to favor Cool
idge."
As to his favorite literature, Mr.
Edison concluded: “I don’t read fic

father takes The Journal. I don’t feel like
I could do without it. How many of you
cousins read the continued stories in The

some of the cousins are taking a subject.
If I were to take a subject it would be on
“Mother.” 1 think mother is the dearest
name on earth. I wonder if I have a twin.
If so, please write me. I am twelve years

a few moments? I have been reading the
letters with much interest for some time. I
especially enjoy the long ones. What have
you cousins been doing this winter? I have
been going to school, and enjoy going, to
some extent, although it is hard. I think
we all ought to go to school regularly and
study hard if we have the chance. I won

Some despise to study it and say it will
never be of any use, but I have found it a
help to me in many ways. So many words
of the English language are derived from
Latin words. lam in the ninth grade this
year and hope to finish the grade this
spring, I wonder how many of the cousins
have some recitations suitable for a com
mencement. If all those who have good
ones will send me one or more I Will return
the favor in any way I can. I have some
very good ones, but they are sad pieces, and
I like to have different kinds. I guess you
wonder who I am. Well, I will try to tell
you. I have medium brown hair, blue eyes,
fair complexion and wear glasses. I will
be seventeen years old in- a few days.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Especially
the married ones, as I don’t know whether
the young ones would want to cousin with
married ones, but I hate long wanted to
write, but took this space to be for the
young consins only, but have been noticing
of late that more and more married ladies
write, and I enjoy their letters and am
obliged to say that I read theirs first. I
have long wished that The Journal had a
space for us older ones, where we could
exchange our best Ideas on training chil
dren, housekeeping, saving and making
money, for we don’t know what fate may
have in store for us, and we don’t want to
be helpless on some of our loved ones.
Don't think I am more interested in money
than religion. I am not, but what is more
pitiful than to see an old person wholly de
pendent on some one, when they could have
had a home? We don’t know whether we
are sorry or fretted. Now, what I am most
interested in is how to raise my children
right, and I guess that is the desire of all
mothers. But are tve working to that end?
We must remember that watching comes
with praying. Don’t you suppose that lo's
of neighbors know more about some chil
dren than their mothers do? I hope I will
never be a victim of that. Keep them
under your eyesight more and you will know
more about them. I have five living, one
little fine in heaven, where I hope to meet
him when I leave this world, and it is my
heart's desire to leave those five with a
Christian education if I don’t leave them a
dollar. .Now, I do so much enjoy The Jour
nal. I hope I will never be without'it. I
have been an 61(1 subscriber 'for several
years, and it gets better. I do so much
enjoy the Sabbath school lesson and all the
writers of The Journal. Now pardon me,
Anfit Julia, for staying so long. You are
fine to bother with all these different
cousin’. If you think this worth printing,
I shall be glad. With love and best wishes
to all the readers and writers of The Tri-
Weekly Journal, a new cotisin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder if
you will let a North Carolina girl join your

when I can. I wonder how many of the
consins live In viewing distance of the Ap
palachian mountains. We can get a good
view of Table Rock and the Grandfather
mountain from our school. I go to school
every day and am In the seventh grade.
My birthday is April 21. I am fourteen
years old. I have one twin. Wonder if I
have another. If so, please write me. How
many of yon cousins like to read? My
friends call me a book-worm, and I really
think it is true. I live In the country, and
like country life fine. Millie Jones and
Vera Mabe are my ehums in school. I
would love to hear from any of the cousins
who would like to write to me. I will try

wonder if there is any pleasure in
the world for me. Do you think
that it would be mean if I should
refuse to wait on the boys when
they are able to wait on themselves?
B. B.
Answer:
I do not know anything more pit
iful than the fact that nine tenths
of the overworked women in the
world are being killed by the un
necessary labor their families force
them to" do. It Is just as easy to
hang a coat up on a hook as it is to
hang it cm a chair. It is do more
exeition to drop cigar ashes in a
tray than it is on the floor. It re
quires no heroic sacrifice of pleas
ure to keep a newspaper together
instead of strewing it all over the
house.
But It makes a. slave of the one
woman who has to hang up and
pick up and sweep up after a fam
ily who seem to believe that tiieir
belongings are automatically
switched to where they belong, and
that their dirt disappears as if by
household would clean up after hirn
magic. If every member of a
self or herself, there wouldn’t be
so many monuments In the ceme
teries to our beloved wives and
mothers.
One’s sympathy for these domes
tic martyrs is, however, consider
ably marred by the knowledge that
they have brought their fate on
themselves, so far as their children
are concerned. Children treat their
mothers invariably just as their
mothers have taught them.
If a mother has demanded respect
and consideration from her chil
dren, she gets respect and consid
eration. If she has permitted her
children to speak impudently to her,
they say insulting things to her;
if she assumes all the burdens, they
let her bear them.
Certainly any woman who has a
son twenty-four years old who will
sit idly by and see his mother split
wood and lift heavy loads is getting
just what she has sown. She has
failed signally in her duty to him,
for she has not taught him to be
chivalrous toward herself. More
than that, she has done a great
w;rong to some other woman, be
cause she has raised up a boy who
will make a mean husband.
' Probably It .s too late to change

Dear Miss Dix—How can I show
the man I love that “a rolling stone
gathers no moss?"
He believes that the only true- life
is that of a wanderer. He does not
wish to settle down, for he says he
could not stand the dull routine of
life as most people know it. He
wants to drift and to lead a life ,pf
adventure and danger in some for
saken spot. Yet he loves me. He
has proved it in a thousands ways
and he is always fighting between
these two desires —to wander, and to
stay with me. What can I do to
show him that the life of a drifter
is wasted? D. M.
Answer: The wanderlust Is the
most consuming of all passions, and
when it is in one’s blood, there is no
cure for It. No matter how much a
man loves a. woman, no matter how

brilliant the opportunities offered
him in some regular employment, he
simply cannot bide at home. There
comes a day when the broad high
way calls louder than the voices of
wife and children, when the glamour ;
of stange places is more than the
ptospect of riches, and he must
either go or break his heart in repin
ing.
There are birds you cannot tame,
animals you cannot domesticate,
men you cannot tie to a hearthstone.
And you had just as well face this
fact and decide your problem accord
ingly.
But the old proverb about the roll
ing stone gathering no moss is not
necessarily a. true one now. Busi
ness nowadays is often an adventure
in. itself and fortunes go to those
who have the spirit of the adventur
er, and are willing to go into strange
places and live hard and dangerous
lives. There are oil wells to be drill
ed in wild places; rubber to be raised;
copra to be gathered; minerals to be
mined in regions that furnish hair
breadth adventure at every step,
Why not get your man with the
wandering foot to turn his steps into
some of these profitable paths? But
if you are one of those women who
love the quiet life and your own
doilies and mahogany, think long
before you marry a man who can
not bear to be caged. The tiger and
the lamb mate ill together.

Dear Miss Dix—Some three years
ago there was an affair between the
man I love and a girl three years his
senior, he being twenty-one at that
time and she twenty-four. After
about a year the affair terminated,
and shortly afterward the girl mar
ried a man much older than, herself.
My fiance tells me that he loves
me, but when he does I can’t help
remembering that he has probably
told her the same thing. And when
he kisses me I just know how he
has kissed her. I want to think of it
as a closed book, but I can’t
Am I jealous? If not, why do I
resent so keenly being second in his
affectiors? REX.
( Answer: I should say you are
jealous, Rex. You are afflicted with

Ln Easily and quickly prepared. Ln
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
cough syrup, which is easily prepared
in a few minutes.
Get from any druggist 2% ounces
of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
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. Tastes pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of a cough and
gives almost immediate relief. It
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 day’s use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
