people shy away from taking their
medicine? When if they only
would. and get it over with, every
thing would be so much better
Ever since the day their mothers
had TO hold their noses and force
castor oil down amid much Sputter-
ing and Tuning and face-making,
they have Steered clear Of taking
their medicine. not only that which
is coming to them, but which will
do them no end of good.
And the castor oil stunt is just
the preliminary to all the rest of
life. If you will eat green apples,
you must take your medicine. If
you will do foolish, insane, reck-
less, thoughtleSs, sfrivolous things,
you must take the medicine pre-
scribed No two ways about it.
1t is the only way You will get
well, whether it be bodily sickness
mental sickness or soul sickness.
And put this in your Lucky Strike:
No medicine that does much good
is very nice to take. It's usually
dark brown and vile tasting,

The whole trouble with human
beings. and L suppose it has been
since the beginning of time, is that
they will not realize that il they

moro until they bake another one.
l suppose Martha Lee was telling
little prehistoric broWn-eyes and
hlue-eyeS and WorriedS just that
little thing.
On the square. though, there is
a Law of compensation that has to
be reckoned with. in every walk in
life 1t isn't just d cracking, rusty
adage that you get as much out of
life as you put III it.
When all your dreams come tum-
Bling down like a flock of rocks
upon your wooden head, the only
thing to do is pick them up and
start all over again.

Dear Miss Lee: VIII you please gi;c
me advice quickly? I Just came from
my doctor. For three years he has been
treating me and he Just has found out
my trouble. 1t is q broken heart and
there is Just one way for mo to be cured.

am nervous and can not cat NOR
sleep. I denounced my husband three
years ago. I can not forget him. Tic is
constantly on my mind. I think about
him when I am awake and dream about
him the few snatches or sleep do get.
I have ono child and that child needs
his father now. more than he ever did
Years ago How can I be fair 10 the
child? He is realizing that his nome
is different from The homes Of other
children.
I want my husband back, but I have
heard, that he is married to another.
Could 7 90 TO him. or must Just keep
on waiting hoping and praying for him
10 come back to us?

in my late twentics I never have quit
loving my husband. The doctor says 1

HEART BROKEN MOTHER.
Your letter is most incomplete.
You 90 not give the reason that
caused you to denounce your huS-
band. There must be a founda-
ton for all this grief, and it may be
found in the fact that you de-
nounccd him without cause. 1t
sometimes is pretty tough to have
to take the blows life gives us, and
still keep your chins up, but that
is precisely what we must do.
Must Change Attitude
You must snap out Of the frame
of mind you are in. Even if your
husband should come back, it is ten
to one he would not stay long with
a shifting, moping wife. You've got
to give yourself a good shaking and
start taking interest in something
besides your troubles and your
heartaches.
You seem concerned about your
child. Why not give him little
sunshine? 1t can not be very pleas
ant for little 8-year-old boy for
ever to see his mother sad and red
eyed.
What have you done to deserve
your husband back? You have
moped and brooded and made your
self i'll and incapable of providing
happiness for your child, and this
after you have denounced your hus-
band. Why not start preparing
yourself to be worthy Of the love
and devotion your child can bring
