In it are reproduced the paint

to do at this time. Pm in training
and have been for two years but l
feel my parents need to have me
at home and work as they are get
ting along very badly financially.
Should 1 give up and get work?
Ans: If there is any possible
way to stay in training until you
finish do so. Right now you
aren't qualified to nurse profess
siOnally but in about nine more
months you will be. Write your
brother and put the proposition
before him and see if he won't
help the family out until you are
through with your course and able
to work yourself.
M. E. S.: 1 am writing you for
help as I enjoy reading your col
umn so much. Would it be advis-
able for me to sell my place in the
other county or should I keep it
for awhile longer?
Ans: Advertise your place for
sale but you don't have to be in
any hurry to dispose of it. If and
when you are offered a good price
for this property sell and try
to make a good profit. You really
don't need to hold on to this place
as it is so out of the way for you.
T. L. c.: Don't spare the truth
because I need to know. My life is
miserable because think my hus-
band loves his first love. Now he
is good to me in every way and
says he loves me but every few
years she comes to this city and
l know he sees her then. He doesn't
even go out unless she comes to
town.
Ans: Aren't you being a little
unfair to your husband? Don't
you realize that if you nag him
day in and day out for several
years about a certain woman
he would have a tendency to go to
see her when she was in the city
