Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am mar
ried woman just q years old and |
have four little children. My husband
is good to me in some ways, but in
some ways he is not. We work by the
month. He draws his wages and never
says a word to me about it and goes
to town and spends every cent. Some
times he brings home something, and
then again he brings nothing. | buy
almost everything, including the cloth
ing and food that we have. I love the
children and would hate to have our
home broken up but | can't stand this
life much longer Sometimes my hus-
! band won't say word to me unless
he wants something. He doesn't like
! to go anywhere with us, l try to have
myself and babies looking nice.
! keep my house clean and put away a
| lot Of fruit for winter. / do all my
work by myself. In trying to please
my husband | do more than / should,
| for / am not strong which / think is
caused by worrying. My husband tells
me many stories and | don't know
whether to believe him or not some
times. He promised me last winter
that he would quit drinking, but he
failed to keep his promise. My father
and mother are dead and / am left
alone. / love my husband aud babies
and home.
A WORRIED MOTHER.
Unuhappiness and worry are in

husband and he continues to drink.

moral sense that he cannot be ex-
pected 10 overcome his drink habit.

do the right thing for his family.
There is one hope, however. There
are reliable cures for the drink habit.
Get your husband TO take one of them.

two years Old. sucks his finger and
just lately noticed that his upper
teeth and gums on one side are grow
ing out over the lower ones and his
upper lip is getting thick, It is Just

can do or have done to keep his teeth
from growing out more, and what can
put on his finger to break him of this
habit? THANKFUL.
Take your little boy to the dentist
