Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am wor- ried so much I feel need a little en- couragement. I am 20 years old and love my parents very much, but don't think they are fair to me. As long as I am not going with any boy they are good to me, but let me keep com pany for a while with any boy and | can't rest at home. for my mother is always telling me that if I don't keep him from coming she will.
 I have been going with a young man for five months, although, have known him for a long time. I love him dearly and am sure he loves me. At first he came to see me three times a week, but mother only allows him to come every Sunday afternoon now
 Please tell me if I am right or if mother is, and how many times a week I ought to SC him.
 TROUBLED BLANCHE.
 You are right. I cannot under stand your mothers motive in want ing to keep you from having young mem friends. Three times a week would not be too often for you to have a caller.
 There is little comfort I can give you, because as long as you are at home you will have to obey the wishes of your parents in such mat ter. I am sure, however, that when love comes the young man will put up with the limitation of seeing you only until he himself is in a position to take you away and make a home for you.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls who will entertain two boy friends soon. Since this is the first time we wish you would tell us how to go about it.
 BROWN AND BLUE EYES.
 Just remember that the boys are callers and entertain them as you would any caller, regardless of sex. Perhaps you have some interesting kodak pictures you could show them or a game to play. If the four of

By John B. Huber: AM,MD

A wise physician, skilPd our wounds to heal, is more than armies to the public weal-Pope.
 BOILS
 A boil begins with an itchy sensa- dion; then comes the pimp1e, next the pustule. In a week or ten days if un- treated, the boil natures and. expels its slough or core" There is pain, a dull ache-with constant throbbing and a drawing sensation, sleepleSs- ness and generally pretty consider able misery" BoiIs come singly or 1n crops. A blind boil does not point at the top with matter; in time in just disappears by absorption in the skin.
 Almost all boils come about by en- trance of germs into hair socket or a skin pore. A favorable skin soil is necessary for the growth of these germs and the consequent develop 1nent of boils. Dirty and infrequent- 1y changed underclothing help. And dirty fingers scratching a boil will carry infection to others parts; that is how successive "crops' develop. Chafed skin that has been scratched by clothing, by frayed collars and so on, makes fine soil for boils. So 1t is that people emac1ated or run down, or poor (blooded or over-work- some such weakening disease as ty- phoid fever, measles, or scarlet fever, manifest 8 kind of boil habit.
 Naturally, then, to get permanently rid of boils, one must tone up the body. We use general hygienic meas ures, fresh air, nutritious food, plenty of rest and sleep. And one must use local measures. A good many boils have been arrested in their growth by applying a drop of pure carboHc acid from the end of a clean tooth pick on the point of the boil precisely in the | center of the matter. This applica- tion must not be repeated.

CHLLBLAINS

A great many people during this unpleasant period of the year write 10 me complaining of chilblains. If this aHI1ction is not cured it is apt to come back winter after winter and to become more painful every time
 Here is a somewhat heroic cure It IS an old-fashioned remedy but. like most old-fashioned remedies, ,effec- tive. Put the feet or the hands if the hands suffer from chiLblains). in q basin of fairly hot water. The basin should be placed. over an alcohol lamp so that the water will gradually be- come hotter and hotter. Keep the feet Cor hands in as long as it Is pos S1ble to bear the increasing heat Then, on withdrawing, thrust them at once into ice cold water. They need not be kept in this more than a mo- ment. It is the shock of the cold, not continued cold, that is needed. Such a bath repeated three or four times on successive days should effect 8 cure.
 Here is another suggestion. When the toes and heels grow red and itch rub the feet with warm spirits of rosemary to which a little turpentine has been added. Afterwards rub the heels and toes with camphorated vas cline or bInd absorbent cation wet with camphor over the affected parts
 Massagdng the feet and making foot exercises are to be recommended since the whole idea of these treat ments is to promote a heaHhful cir culation of blood through the feet. Needless to say, the feet should be kept warm and dry. but should not be put too near fire or any intense heat.

BREAD AND GRAVY

White travelling around through the
 country
 I've stopped at lot of hotels; Some were good, some were bad,
 some indifferent,
 And some of the rooms were like
 cells. The last one I stopped at was a daisy, So cozy, So warm and so neat; It's wonder I didn't go crazy When I found what they gave me
 to eat. On Monday I had bread and gravy; On Tuesday I had gravy and
 bread;
 On Wednesday and Thursday I had
 gravy and toast,
 But that's only gravy and bread. On Friday I said to the landlord: .Can't you give me something in-
 stead 9" So no Saturday morn. by way of a
 change,
 had gravy-without any bread.

, you are together you might make candy. Try to be as interesting and gracious as possible. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please give me a remedy for blackheads and also a shiny nose MARION A.
 Try the green soap treatment for blackheads: Tincture of green soap, two ounces; distilled witch hazel, two ounces.
 Let this mixture stay on only a few moments. then wash off with hot water If the green soap irritates the skin, as it sometimes will. use 1t every other day. Apply 8 cold cream.
 Green soap may be purchased at any drug store. It is not a regular "cake soap'' but is of about the con- sistency of custard.
 Open each seed acne with the point of a fine cambric needle. The hard- ened mass must be pressed or picked out The empty sac of the gland should then be bathed with 8 little toilet vinegar and water, or with a very weak solution of carbolic acid and water. Sterilize the needle be- fore using it by dipping into boiling water.
 For shiny nose apply a, small quan- tity of vanishing cream and face pow der. The cream makes the powder stick.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: Kindly give, me @ remedy for wrink1ed hands. My hands are very old-looking and red, caused from factory work. If not too much trouble would like pre- scription for my face and neck as as. skin whitener THANK YOU.
 Apply the following lotion to your hands several times a day after you, have had them in water: Bay rum. two ounces; glycerine, one ounces carbolic acid, 20 drops.

 Steady Reader, Subscriber, N. G. C., Blue Eyes:-Pimp1es and blackheads usually have their origin in a. disor- dered digestion and to correct that will clear the skin. These skin erup- tions relieve the body of waste which would cause illness if retained in the system. Blackheads are first coars- ened pores that have been made so through overwork.
 The treatment for all this is to clear the system and keep it so by eating properly. A daily warm bath will clear the complexion because it opens the pores over the body relieving those of the face. If the pimples con ttnue after that there are other req sons for them requiring the attention of the doctor.

Beef Stew with DumpIings: Put 1 F pounds or beef from the shank into a large pot, add l onion sliced, cover with cold water and let simmer slow ly for about nine hours (some of this Boiling may be done the day before you are to serve the roast). Some of the meat will gradually come off into little strings and rise to the top. Thicken this stew with a little flour mixed to paste with cold water, and season with salt and pepper. Just before serving sift together 1 pint of flour and 1 heaping teaspoon of bak- ing powder. add Q little salt and just enough milk to make a soft dough Do not work it much. Dip the dough by small spoonfuIs and place these upon the top of the meat, which is floating on the stew. Cover the pot quickly and let simmer ten minutes Do not uncover while cooking in this way, or the dumplings will fall. After the dumplings are added the stew will scorch easily, so take the precaution of moving the kettle to a moderate part of the fire.
