STOP CRITICISING MOTHER—SHE IS DOING HER BEST

•Martha Le 6 Asks If It Isn’t About Time for Folks to Quit Knocking the Parent When the Child Goes Astray. By Martha Lee “Her mother is to blame!” Isn’t it about time for us to leave off this blatant and invariable remark whenever we hear of some young person who has gone seriously astray'/

Parents have a hard row to hoe these days. Never were so many people attending to their business for them; never have they been so criticised, lectured and cursed. Sure, mothers—fathers, too, want Iheir children to have good times. Certainly she’ll “give up" that the youngsters may have pleasures that other young things have. Certainly mother’s heart fairly breaks when Susie can’t have the wrist watch, or the dancing lessons, or whatever she has set her young heart upon. God made mothers that way, and would the world be any better if they were changed? Soft and pliant mother-love may work fofr destruction, but not half as much as it works for salvation. Let’s not abuse mother. She’s what she’s always been. If the young folks have a particularly strong dip downward these days other forces than mother love are to blame. Girl Has Gone Away i Dear Martha Lee: Can you give me a "word of comfort? I have had five children and I did the best I could for them, but my youngest girl, who is 17- bas caused me more trouble than twice all the rest. The rest'minded me. but this one —well. I don’t see how any one could manage her. , _. , 1 blush to say that-she drinks (neither .1 nor her father ever touched a drop in our lives) and seems as hard as a man. Now she has gone away, and I know .people will say we haven t raised her right, but Miss Lee. my heart is broken. 1 did all I could to save her. I don t know where - hf ' f .jioKEN-HE A RTED MOTHER. You have my sympathy. Whether you believe it or not now, you're the beacon light in your daughter’s wayward heart. She’s yielding to the general do-as-you-please tendency that’s in the air nowadays, but there are chances that she’ll come to her senses before it is too late. Don’t doubt that your loving efforts to help her will count sometime, somewhere. Feels Out of Place Dear Martha Lee: I ana 18 years old and jroing with a married man. 33 years

r . ' Nature Doesn’t Punish Her Any Longer Menstruation is Nature —but menstrual pain is NOT natural, and not necessary. Science has conquered the painful part. In a harmless — yes, healthful—little tablet called inidol. Midol is a more remarkable means of relieving such pain than even a habit-forming drug. It acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and relief comes in five to seven minutes. Don't have another day of forced quiet, of pain, low spirits or even discomfort! Midol is effective twelve hours or more. Yet it does not depress the heart; is not narcotic, and is utterly harmless. All druggists, 50 cents, in thin aluminum box that lits the smrlh’st ;wvo.

old. Miss Lee. I know 1 am not keeping him from his wife, because he had been parted from her and bad even gone to Florida to get away from her. long before I knew him. They have no children. He is getting his divorce this spring. Now should I plan upon marrying him then? Know his wife’s faults and 1 know I can do differently from her. but of course 1 know men are to blame sometimes too. When he takes me to his friends’ homes that also knew his wife, I feel out of place. EIGHTEEN. You have several reasons for watching your step in this matter. Unless you are very mature indeed, the difference in age is to be seriously considered. You are sure you have not stepped in between this man and wife, but if you go with this man before he has his divorce, some persons will always insist that this is the case. I should advise not seeing him often now and being very sure of

your own mind, if you later decide to marry him. Mother Would Part Them Dear Martha Lee: I am a young married woman. My husband is in debt so we cannot live together at the present time. I am with my folks and he with his. My mother begs and fusses with me to have nothing more to do with my husband, but f love him. Miss Lee. and lie loves me and is crazy to get to housekeeping. Now. should I stick with my husband and help until we are able to go to housekeeping. or should I drop him as my mother says? MIG. As you love each other, I don’t see why you should give him up merely because he is an evidently poor manager. Don’t argue with your mother. Keep still, help as much as you can, and get to housekeeping the very minute you can afford it. Chum With Another's Husband? Dear Martha Lee: My husband and I have been chumming with another husband and wife for six years. This man and 1 love the movies. His wife and my husband do not care lor them. My husband savs that he won't care if I do go to the movies with this man. and this mans wife says she won t care. What do you think about it? WONDERING. I think you would be very unwise to go with the other woman’s husband. If you are inordinately fond of the movies, you know you can go in the afternoon. One doesn’t really have to have an escort. Such an arrangement, as you suggest is seriously fraught with danger, I assure you.

Sure Way to Stop Night Coughing A Treatment That Ends Night Coughs in 15 Minutes Persistent night coughing is usually due to causes which cough syrups and patent medicine do not touch. A remarkable prescription known as Thoxine, working on an entirely different principle, goes direct to the cause, and is guaranteed to stop the stubbornest cough within 15 minutes. One swallow is all that’s needed. If it fails, get your money back. No chloroform or other harmful drugs. Safe for children. Equally good for sore throat, for which purpose it is far superior to gargles. 35c, 60c and SI.OO. At all druggists.—Advertisement.

Kelly, an old newdealer, makes an effort to find him. By Anne Austin Faith was about to hurry away, after thanking the kindly officer for his helpfulness, when the bluecoat laid a hand on her arm. “I hope you don’t mind me saying so, miss, but I recognized you from your pictures in the papers. I couldn't let you go without telling you how all the boys are hoping the little girl will get off scott free.” Faith choked. “Thank you,” she said. “I'll tell Cherry what you said.” “Your bothering about old Phil when you’ve got trouble# enough cf your own, made me think he might | be some kin to you. He needs a bit | of looking after, seeing as how he’s near lost his eyesight and his memory’s gone bad—” “His memory?” Faith asked quickly. . “Sure, he ain’t got no mind left at all. Why, when he came back about six months ago to his old corner, after a long spell of sickness, he didn't know me! That's a fact. Why, he’d even forgot that he wasn't on speaking terms with old Sour-face Kelly here, that Tuns the news stand. Acted like they’d been friends, he did, but old Kelly couldn’t cotton to him at all. They fell out about something more’n a year ago, used to jaw each other like a coupla alley kids. So long! If you find old Phil, I’d like to do something for him myself.” Faith’s brain was a whirl of dontiicting emotions and doubts and half-rejected truths as she hurried to the city’s busiest corner—Main and Columbus. But of one thing she was sure. Churchill had been extraordinarily wise not to let out a word to the regular police or to the newspapers about Bob’s discovery of the queer footprints, or about Bob’s theory that a cripple had been on the scene of Ralph Cluny’s murder. She and Bob could thus pursue their investigation into the mystery of the crippled old beggar without arousing suspicion or inviting Tidfcule if they failed. Traffic Officer Callahan, a. magnificent young giant of an Irishman, stood in the center of the intersection of Main and Columbus, directing the four unending streams of traffic with grand, sweeping gestures and shrill whistle blasts. When traffic was halted, Faith crossed to the small square wooden dais on which he stood and waited, with what patience she had, until he had started to twin vehicular processions on their way again. At her query, Callahan stooped low to listen, but his keen blue eyes never left the unending caravans of motor cars. “Could I tell you what?—oh, yes, where old Phil the beggar lives, an! what his last nime is? Hey, there, what d’ye think this is? Going to a fire?” he bellowed to a motorist. “Now, miss, I’m sorry, but I ain’t got an idea where old Phil lives Used to be a real pal of mine, too, before he went dopey in the bean. But seems like to me his last name’s

Schmidt or Schwartz, or something Dutch like that. No—hey, back up there! Gone deef? Can’t hear this whi3tlc?” he shouted at a taxi chauffeur who attempted to disregard the signal. “Schultz it is, Miss, Schultz. It was his married daughter as was named Schmidt. Don’t mention it, little lady. And—good luck next week! The little girl’ll come clear, don’t you worry. No jury’d convict a little red-headed beauty like her.” There were tears in Faith’s eyes as she left, but in her heart there was springing up new hope. At there was a tiny clue to work on.

Hakes Hair Behave But Doesn’t SHOW! There’s a way to keep your hair just-so, without any of that objectionable “plastered-down” look. Just use a few drops of Danderine—comb it through hair, or use a Danderinedampened towel—you’ll be amazed at the way your hair then behaves, and its beautiful lustre! Any permanent ■wave or water wave lasts much longer and looks much nicer when Danderine is used instead of water to “set” the wave. Os course, you know what Danderine does to dandruff! Dissolves every bit of it. Puts scalp in the pink of condition. Invigorates hair and hair-roots. Why use anything lese? Ask Yovtr Druggist Get a bottle of Danderine and start its benefits today.

These Deal With Discovery of 1492 Today’s intelligence test deals with the discovery of Ajnerica and the events associated with it. Any high school history student ought to be able to answer all ten questions without trouble. The answers are on page 14: 1. What were the names of Columbus’ three ships on his first voyage? 2. What Spanish adventurer conquered the Aztecs? 3. Who was king of the Aztecs at that time? 4. What two marines first carried I the British flag across the Atlantic? 5. What people are believed to have settled along the New England coast many years before Columbus discovered America? C. Who ruled Peru at the time of Pizarro’s conquest? 7. Who led a disastrous expedition up into New Mexico and Colorado for the fabled “Seven Cities of Cibola?” 8. What navigator first circumnavigated the world? . 9. What British navigator, following in his footsteps years later, raided Spanish shipping and colonies and brought back a tremendous amount of treasures to Queen Elizabeth? 10. On what particular discovery does the fame of Balboa chiefly rest? THREE PAIRS If you buy hose in lots of three pairs, they may be matched up when holes begin to come, whereas a single pair is ruined when one stocking springs a run.
