so crippled up with rheumatism

son had taken Tanlac, and it had
done him a world of good, so one
day he brought home a bottle and
said, Mother, l want you to take
this When l had finished the
bottle, I felt like a different wo-
man, and by the time l had fin
ished my second bottle, l was out
in the garden hoeing.
"Tanlac has simply done won
ders for me; il almost seems like
a miracle" This is the remarkable

Continuing her wonderful state
ment, Mrs. Root said, For years
suffered terribly with rheumatism,
and would often be down in bed for
days at a time. In the last five
years there was not & time that
didn't feel those rheumatic pains
all through my body. About two
months ago 1 got very much worse
and my arms and legs were so bad
l was almost helpless and couldn't
even hold pen to sign my name.
I was so weak l could not do any
housework- l couldn't even sleep,
and had no rest day or night Even
to walk a few steps would tire ms
out completely When [ would try
to walk I would stagger. and when

down I could not get up without
some one helping me. 1 had no
appetite and hardly ate enough to
keep me alive. l could not stoop
over far enough to get my shoes
on.
Il never knew what a nights
sleep was, and would lie awake
for hours. At times I would get
very cold and would have to get
up and sit by the fire all huddled
up, and my daughters would put
hot water bottles all around me.

Fur fabrics are becoming more
popular every year. 1t is little
wonder, for the art OF making fur
FABRICS has advanced to such an
extent IN the past few years that
the new imitation furs can scarce
ly be mentioned in the same breath
as the terrible pile fabrics seen
some years ago. Indeed, some of
the new fur fabrics can never be
called cheap imitation fur" for
they cost more than many real
pelts.
Here is rather fetching coat
made of Nishni, a fur fabric which
resembles plush. Skunk collar
and cuffs are used as trimming and
add both beauty and warmth to the
garment The coat may be worn
with or without the looped belt. but
this season belts are to be worn
rather extensively, and so the
smarter way Bilkbe to use the belt

awfuIIy hard to get a boy anything
that he will positively like. What
would you think about a silk shirt
Please suggesta few things for us.
Would that make any difference?
PEGGY AND JANE.
i 1t is all right for the engaged
girl to give and accept expensive
gifts, but the girl who is not en-
gagged should not give or accept
jewelry and other gifts of great val
ue.
For the girl who is not engaged
1 would suggest book, picture or
linen handkerchiefs.
The girl who is engaged might
give the silk shirt, fountain pen,
a framed picture of herself.Cr any
thing she thought her fiance would
enjoy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am both
cred with blackheads around my
nose. Will you please tell me how
to get rid of them?
My finger nails are short and
will not grow without help. What
can I apply to strengthen their
growth? MISS SEVENTEEN
BIackheads, as well as pimpIes,
may be the result of so many diff
them for one person will be use
less for another If faithful trials
of external remedies do not benefit,
a physician should be consulted.
An excellent treatment begins by
washing the face with liquid green
soap and a brush. Then apply a
paste made from flowers of sui
phur and camper spirits. This is
smeared over the complexion and
stays on all night, being washed off
in the morning. The face is wiped
over with glycerin. The latter may
be omitted, if desired, but it is de-
sirable
Rub sweet oil on the f1ngernai1s
before retiring at night 1t will
strengthen them and they will
probably grow better.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am
girl at the age of IA. 1 have been
troubled with pimples for almost
two years and would thank you a
million times if you could aid me
to get rid of them. Do you think
it is from the blood or is it a skin
effect? WORRYING PEGGY.
Pimples may be the result of so
many different causes that what
will cure them for one person will
be useless for another. If faithful
trials of external remedies do not
benefit, physician should be con-
suited
Often application of a lotion
made from half an ounce of gycer-
inc, a pint of camphor water and
a quarter of an ounce of powdered
borax will prevent pimples. In any
event, this mixture is good for the
skin, if used as a substitute for wa
ter. 1t must be allowed to dry on.
A physician declares that a two
weeks trial is time enough to give
this, and if at the end of that per-
iod it has not improved the skin,
should be stopped and
a remedy more drastic applied.

| Dear Mrs. Thompson: am go
ing with a young man of twenty
nine. 1 love him very much and
be says he loves me. We are en-
gagged.
He loves to talk and joke with
other women and girls. One Sun
day he took another young married
| couple and me out riding in his
car. This woman is very loud In
her talk and laugh, which he seems
to like. She and I were sitting in
the back seat while he and her hus-
band sat in the front seat Sud
denly he took OF his hat and
dropped it back in her lap and she
held it there, which I didn't think
was nice of him or her.
We had quarrel over this He
says he didn't mean to put it in her
lap, but I know he did. He also
smiles to this woman and does not
notice me when we are all together,
but when we are alone he is a diff
ferent man.
Do you think he loves me?
HAPPY.
You are jealous when you have
no cause to be- Your flance likes
other women, which is only natural,
but he loves you or he would not
have asked you to be his wife.
l can see from your letter that
you are quiet and easily hurt. The
married woman is full of life and
even loud and her vivacity COM
mands your fiance's attention, bat
nothing more. The fact that he
threw his cap into the other wo-
mans lap meant absolutely nothing
and you should not have Quarreled
over it
Unless you put aside your
thoughts of jealousy you will be
miserable after marriage. Every
man comes in contact with other
women in the business world and
friendship with them causes untold
suffering from jealousy to jealous
women.
You must have faith and over
come your suspicious nature if you
expect to be happy wife and make
your husband happy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young man nineteen years old and
have not any friends in town l
would like to get acquainted and I
feel awfully bashful. Please give
me some advice. THANKS.
AS l have said before, there is
not much opportunity to become &C
quainted outside of church. If you
make your choice of a church and
tell the minister that you are lone
some and want friends he will help
you. OF course Introduction does
not make friends. You will have
to do your part by entering into
conversation and taking initiative.
If you see young Lady who ap-
peals to you, ask to call on her
Then take her places. Action will
be necessary on your part.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ny friend
and l were talking about what we
could get our boy friends for
Christmas. We have been going
steady with them for long while
They are both "a years old and We
are % years old
For the last two years they have
got US very expensive Christmas
presents, such as a wrist watch

IF a book comes from the heart,

hearts; all art and authorcraft are
of small amount to that. Carlyle.
Her Fathers Daughter" by
Gene Stratton-Porter doubleday,
Page C Coz, is deserving OF every
atom of the praise and popularity
that attended its publication. 1t is
without doubt the best book that
Mrs. Porter ever wrote. Unlike
some of the authors previous nov
els, which presented some of the
| characters as too overdrawn and
| too perfect to be real, Linda, her
! fathers daughter" has a host OF
| faults. She is a live, wideawake,
! impuIsive young creature full of
the enthusiasm of living, but she is
! at times very human young crea-
ture, making very human mistakes.
The book radiates Mrs. Porter
unusual personality, and contains
a host of the intensely interesting
and valuable information of the
| out-of-doors, told as only Mrs. Por-
ter could tell it. The story is laid
! in one of the 'fairy-like" valleys in
southern California. 1t is said that
Mrs. Porter began writing to please
her children. Three cheers for the
| children!
