before she let's it go, of being little
short of miser.
The girl sees the contemptuous
glances with which her associates re-
gard her parsimony, and they stab
her like so many knives for she is in
reality the most generous soul alive
She would like to be free handed
Also, being a woman, and young and
good looking, she would like to have
pretty clothes, and to go to the places
of amusement whose doors she never
enters because she cannot afford to
spend a cent on self indulgence.
And the reason why?
This girls mother, without perhaps
realizing what a crime she is commit
ting, is deliberately making her daugh.
ter slave to support three lazy
brothers. And many other mother;
are doing the same thing.
Three Able Bodied Brothers Take Ease
While Girl Is at Work
In this particular home not a dol
lar comes into it that is not earned
by the girl. She pays the rent, and
for the light, the heat, and the food.
The mother has no income and fur
nishes nothing, yet she persists in

by her mother to support her three
lazy brothers is not an isolated one. L
have known many other such ones
myself and I get hundreds of letters
from other working girls telling exact
ly the same complaint. They love their
mothers, they feel a high sense of
duty and desire to divide their earn
ings with their parents, but they feel
it a hardship that they have to sup
port brothers far more able to work
than they are.
These girls are right. It is most
cruelty unjust that their mothers
should rob them of their hard earned
wages to give the money to trifing
and often drunken sons, and the girls
should have the courage to rebel and
refuse to submit to such treatment.
The one who earns the money that
supports home is in law the head of
it, and the girl who pays the bills mas
a right to say who shall live in that
home and eat of the food that she
buys. Certainly no sister is under any
obligation to slave herself to death
to buy whisky and cargets for an
idle man, even though he is mothers
darling and mother thinks that she
ought to.

COcOanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkan. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly inture the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich.

and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Advertise

thinking of the home as her home
and says, that while I have a roof
over my head my boys shall have a
place to stay"
Every morning the girl gets up early
and goes to work leaving her three
a able- bodied brothers calmly snoring,
secure that when they choose to arise,
along toward noon, mother will have
some special dainty prepared for them.
And mother thinks that this is all
right. She makes a thousand excuses
for their idleness, and considers that
her daughter is very mean and hard
hearted when she objects to support
ing bunch of idlers and would like
some of the money that she earns
to spend upon herself.
And the girl is helpless because she
wants to take care of her mother and
she can't take care of mother without
mother supporting her d-for-noth-
ing sons
OF course this girl, and every other
woman who supports a strong and
healthy man is an easy mark that the
fool killer will assuredly get some day.
She gets neither thanks nor ha'pence,
for the man who deliberately sits
down and lets a woman take care of
him is invariably a yellow cur that
bites the hand that feeds him.
Girl Will Really Aid Brothers by Re-
fusing to Support Tenn
Therefore, would advise this young
woman and every one confronted with
the same problem to simply shut their
doors on their loafing brothers. and
force them to go to work. In that way
they will not only rid themselves of a
burden that they are under no obliga-
ton to bear, but will do the one thing
that is possible to make a self-respect-
ing and decent man out of an idler.
Laziness is a disease that requires
heroic remedies to cure, and the best
antidote for it ever devised is simply
to chuck a man out into the world
where he must either work or starve
Hunger has done more to allay that
tired feeling with which so many men
are born than any other one thing in
the world.
AS long as a loafer knows that he's
got a warm place to sit, good bed to
sleep in and three square meals a day
to eat he isn't going to wear himself
out looking for work, and he's going
to be mighty particular about the sort
of a job he takes. But if he knows
that only his own labor stands between
him and want, he'll get right down to
the real pursuit of a job, and in work
he'll find the independence that makes
him a man.
The case of this girl who is forced

Gently married Peggy Gillespie. for
merly of Pittsburgh, on her deathbed.
The bride came to France six years
ago, and had been a prominent figure
at the Longchamps and other race
courses, wearing the Paquin gowns.
She was not a mapnequin, but con-
Scented to appear in Paquins "crea-

of friends among wealthy and titled
Europeans.
After the war began she became in

Held to Promise
When the doctors announced that
death was near she tried to break the
engagement, but Letellier finally per-
suaded her to become his wife before
she died.
For more than two years little
Peggy Gillespie was one of the most
brilliant figures of the gay life of
Paris BY her wit and charm and the
dash with which she dressed she set
a pace which the other glittering wo-
men OF LHG fTenCn capital IOunu QlI-
ficult to follow In fact, she set the
styles for the whole world. Wherever
there was a gathering of the beauty
and fashion of Paris, Peggy Gillespie
was always there, ouIshining the 9TH
sers like a star
Her entertainments in her sump-
tuous apartment in the Avenue Henri
Martin were famous for their bril-
lance, and she mum bered among her
acquaintance many of the highest
ytitle and distinction in Europe.
I Not only in Paris, but at Monte
Carlo and Trouville, where French
fashion, which is the fashion of the
world, reaches its zenith, Peggie
Gillespie, by her extravaganza and
daring eccentricities, was a remark
able figure.
Like an Empire Beauty
A French writer described her as
ranking with the reckless beauties of
the Second Empire. She was then
only "a years old.
AS long ago as 1909 a consultation
{ of physicians was called to consider
her health, and it was found that she
was a victim of tuberculosis. AS a
result of this she was ordered to the
south of France, and at Hyeres she
lived for time in u tent with a spe-
cial kitchen, two motorcars and a
train of servants.
Peggie Gillespie was born at PUMA
tawney, Pa, but spent her girlhood in
Pittsburgh, where she was married to
George McClelland of that city.

In Pulmonary Troubles
of Everv Nature

one of the first needs is rest, com
bined with pure food and abundance
of fresh air night and day. Some
times these agencies are sufficient
to effect relief. In other cases, run
down systems need tonic help.
Where the latter is indicated, it is
wise to try Eckman's Alterative-a
lime bearing compound which is easily
assimilated by the average person.
For more than twenty years this
preparation has been widely used and
many recoveries are attributed to it,
Even in advanced cases of pulmonary
affections 1t has proved beneficial.
One feature not commonly found
in effective medicines is its abso-
lutte freedom from poisonous or habit
forming drugs. Therefore a trial is
safe.
