Dear Mrs. Thompson: ID The

dining room is always damp, espe-
cialIy under the windows, in the win

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can you tell
me what to eat and drink to make
plenty of good nurse?
A MOTHER.
This is matter you should take up
with your doctor. Personally I believe
that a nursing mother should eat any
thing she wants unless she finds it dis
agrees with the baby. A healthy

has plenty of good milk for her child.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: (D-Please

them but 1t isn't helping. (2)-How
about geraniums, too? (3)-How old

MARY.
(1)-The plant crown of ferns must
be kept well above the soil and never
pushed beneath, or they will rot away.
Keep the soil damp, but not sodden-
Very wet soil gets sour. Keep the
foliage dry and let the fern drink
through its roots. Be sure not to cut
off the 'breathers"-the long strings
that hang down. Don't put ice cold
water on them, keep them-in a room
between 65 and 20 degrees, and give
them a northern light. Left over tea
leaves are said to be good to put on
the soil If the soil seems sour, dig a
little charcoal into If
(2)-Geraniums must not be watered
too often and they need A sunny win
dow.
The soil should not be too rich.
(3)-You are far too young to think
of getting married, my dear little girl.
Be a good, sweet girl, study your les
sons, read good books, help mother in
the housekeeping and cooking, and
when ycu are Is you viii be ready 20
think about marrying
(4)-It is not fashionable to wear
eorsets now. Your figure will develop
best without corset. Breathe deep,
