MRS sLIZ AEgTE TI9HHQS0N

Dear Mrs Thompson: % What
is best to do when you have been
kind to a neighbor and she causes
trouble in your family, and then gets
mad at you because you find out what
she has done? Then she goes around
through the neighborhood and talks
about you and tries to influence all
the neighbors against you. Should a
woman who has always lived at peace
with her neighbors speak and be
friendly 20 such neighbor?
(2) What would you think OF neigh
bors VINO would be Influenced by such
a woman?
A READER.
Ny dear friend I am sorry to say
there are many such women in the
world-women who are empty-headed
and have no interests in life but other
peoples affairs. They do a great deal
of harm, but we should feel sorry for
them. Their lives are 50 empty. If
you can get this view of the matter
you will see that you ade putting your
self on a level with her by taking any
notice of her gossip. Keep this thought
firmly in your mind. Some day she
will develop enough to see the harm
she is doing. She is blind to it now.
Speak pleasantly when you meet, but
never seek her company, of course.
Think only kind thoughts of her. She
will soon cease to prosecute you.
90 The neighbors either do not
know what kind of woman she is or
hey are equally empty-headed. Treat
al with kindness. All this tempest
N a teapot will soon blow over.
Darr Mrs Thompson: I am a mar !
led woman with two children. ! have !
good husband and he provides for |
is family. But he has a mother who
oes not like me. He goes over to see
er every day, sometimes even before
e goes to work in the morning When
e comes home he quarrels with me
nd tells me what his mother and sis
ers and aunts said about me, and tells
re the sooner I leave the house and
i'm the better he will like it,

Nish, Servia. Nov! 26-There Is q
shortage Of officers in the servian
army, due not only to the severe loss-
es sustained In the earlier battles Of
the campaign, but also to the losses OF

proved source Of considerable embar-
rasment to the army chiefs. and q
number Of youthful cadets from the
military college have now been given
commissions and sent to the front.
Another matter Of serious concern in
army circles Is the difficulty Of caring
properly for the wounded. who are be-
ing sent into the interior towns as rap-
idly 40 possible. Altho there are q
number OF Red Cross units from foreign
countries on the ground, there is still
"a shortage Of trained help. and still
more serious shortage Of drugs and Of
surgical and hygienic appliances.
